The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

17: So you are Nan Murong!”Who is this Young Master?”

Gan Baobao looked at her daughter with confusion.

”Mom, this is Young Master Murong. Brother Murong saved me from the Wuliang Sword Sect.”

Zhong Ling immediately introduced him, explaining the whole story.

”Murong family?”

Gan Baobao was startled upon hearing this but didn’t think too deeply. A smile appeared on her fair and pretty face. ”So it’s Young Master Murong. My name is Gan Baobao. Thank you, Young Master, for saving my daughter.”

”It was merely a coincidence, Madam Zhong. There’s no need for such formality.”

Ning Yuan smiled slightly.

At this moment, Zhong Ling asked again, ”By the way, where’s my dad?”

Zhong Ling looked around.

Duan Yu also reacted, ”That’s right, Madam Zhong, where’s that fierce guy? He wouldn’t still want to kill me, would he?”

Duan Yu asked nervously.

Gan Baobao chuckled upon hearing this, then continued, ”He went out to meet friends. He should be back tonight. Young Master Duan, I advise you to leave first, otherwise, when he returns, he will surely cause you trouble again.”

”Brother Duan, does my dad know your surname is Duan?”

Zhong Ling finally understood the reason and immediately widened her eyes, anxiously saying, ”Brother Duan, my dad hates anyone with the surname Duan the most. Even I probably can’t persuade him. No, you have to leave the valley quickly, or simply hide so he doesn’t know, otherwise he will definitely kill you.”

”Ah? Then I’d better leave first!”

Duan Yu quickly retreated.

”Then, Young Master Murong...”

Gan Baobao looked at Ning Yuan.

”Mom, Brother Murong’s surname isn’t Duan. Moreover, Brother Murong saved me. When Dad comes back, he’ll have to thank Brother Murong too.”

Zhong Ling pulled Gan Baobao’s arm and pouted.

”Alas, fine. You go send Young Master Duan out of the valley first. I’ll arrange for dinner right away.”

Gan Baobao shook her head helplessly.

”Then I shall trouble Madam.”

Ning Yuan cupped his hands in thanks.

”Young Master Murong, what are you saying? You saved my Ling’er, this is what we should do.”

Gan Baobao said with a smile...

That night.

Zhong Wanchou returned to Wanjie Valley, grumbling.

”These Four Evils are really pushing their luck. If I didn’t need them, I wouldn’t want to cooperate with them!”

As soon as Zhong Wanchou approached the main hall, he saw Zhong Ling standing gracefully at the entrance.

”Ling’er?”

”You’re back!”

Zhong Wanchou was delighted to see his daughter and immediately stepped forward happily.

”Dad, thanks to Brother Duan and Brother Murong, I was able to come back alive this time.”

Zhong Ling immediately said with a cheerful smile.

But when Zhong Wanchou heard the word ’Duan’, his face immediately darkened. ”Don’t mention that person with the surname Duan to me. No one with the surname Duan is any good.”

”By the way, he didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

As he spoke, Zhong Wanchou seemed to remember something and immediately asked anxiously.

”Of course I’m fine. Oh, I also want to introduce Brother Murong to you. He’s the one who saved me from the Wuliang Sword Sect.”

Zhong Ling pulled Zhong Wanchou into the main hall.

Hearing that there was an outsider, Zhong Wanchou’s expression changed again, full of vigilance.

As soon as he entered, he saw a handsome young man in his early twenties sitting opposite his wife. A hint of jealousy first appeared on his face, followed by vigilance.

”Who are you?”

Zhong Wanchou came before Gan Baobao and immediately demanded.

Gan Baobao’s face darkened, and she immediately scolded, ”Zhong Wanchou, Young Master Murong is our Ling’er’s savior, which means he’s our benefactor. What kind of attitude is that?”

When Gan Baobao scolded him, Zhong Wanchou immediately showed a wronged and fawning expression. ”Madam, isn’t it because I care about you too much? I’m afraid you’ll be deceived by these pretty boys.”

”Zhong Wanchou, what do you mean by that?”

Hearing this, Gan Baobao was both angry and ashamed. ”Is that the kind of person you think I am? If so, then why did we even get married?”

”Alright, Baobao, I was wrong. I said the wrong thing. It’s my fault.”

Zhong Wanchou immediately smiled apologetically, lightly patting his own face.

Then he stood up and looked at Ning Yuan.

”Murong Fu greets Valley Master Zhong!”

Ning Yuan stood up and said with a smile.

”Murong family... Hmm? Murong Fu?”

Zhong Wanchou was about to respond, then suddenly reacted, immediately widening his eyes and looking at Ning Yuan. ”You are Murong Fu? From Gusu?”

”Indeed, I am from Gusu Yanzhi Dock.”

Ning Yuan nodded with a smile.

”northern qiao feng, southern murong. Are you the Southern Murong?”

Zhong Wanchou became even more astonished.

”It’s just praise from fellow Jianghu practitioners. It’s not to be taken seriously.”

Ning Yuan shook his head, saying humbly.

Zhong Wanchou, however, laughed heartily. ”So it is Young Master Murong in person. This Zhong is blind. Young Master, please take a seat quickly.”

Although Zhong Wanchou was far away in Dali, Yunnan, thousands of miles from Gusu, the name of Southern Murong was known to everyone in the Jianghu.

Moreover, Murong Fu’s surname wasn’t Duan, and he was a person of standing, so he thought he wouldn’t do anything shameful. He immediately greeted him with a smile.

”So Young Master Murong is actually the legendary Southern Murong. What an honor!”

Gan Baobao also showed surprise, then glared at Zhong Ling. ”Ling’er, why didn’t you introduce him to me earlier?”

”Mom, I just wanted to give you a surprise!”

Zhong Ling chuckled mischievously.

The four then took their seats.

”Young Master Murong, thank you for saving my precious daughter. Come, I’ll toast you.”

Zhong Wanchou raised his wine glass with a smile, then suddenly asked, ”By the way, I wonder if Young Master Murong has heard of the Four Evils?”

”Naturally, I have heard of them.”

Ning Yuan closed the folding fan in his hand. ”The Utterly Evil, the Ruthless, the Fierce, and the Extremely Vicious. I heard that the four of them have joined the Western Xia First Rank Hall. Valley Master Zhong, are these four threatening you?”

”Not at all!”

Zhong Wanchou waved his hands repeatedly, his face beaming with pride. ”I met the Four Evils a few days ago and had a very pleasant conversation with them. I plan to invite them to the valley for a visit in a few days.”

Zhong Wanchou stroked his goatee proudly, his head held high as he spoke.

There was a hint of smugness in his words.

After all, although these four were infamous, their strength was real, and they could help him take revenge on those with the surname Duan.

And bringing them up now was also a way to intimidate Murong Fu.

”Such a thing happened.”

Ning Yuan feigned surprise, then smiled. ”I see. I happen to be in Dali these days. Perhaps I’ll have the opportunity to meet these so-called Four Evils and see what they are capable of.”

Ning Yuan closed his folding fan and said with his head held high.

He was full of confidence.

He had already mastered the Bei Ming Divine Skill, and his internal energy had returned to a first-rate level. There were no more than a handful of people in the entire Jianghu who could stably defeat him.

Duan Yanqing, though possessing profound internal energy, was far inferior to masters like Qiao Feng and Jiumozhi.

”You’re staying?”

Zhong Wanchou was astonished.

He had intended to scare Murong Fu away, or more accurately, to make Murong Fu retreat due to difficulty.

After all, Murong Fu was a famous hero in the Jianghu. If he became associated with notorious people like the Four Evils, it would inevitably affect his reputation.

So he believed that when he mentioned Wanchou Valley’s connection with the Four Evils, Murong Fu would naturally retreat to protect his reputation.

However, he didn’t expect Murong Fu to actually want to meet the Four Evils.

This made Zhong Wanchou’s eyes dart around anxiously for a moment, wanting to find a reason to send Ning Yuan away.

Although the person in front of him wasn’t surnamed Duan, he was also a pretty boy, handsome and charming, which made Zhong Wanchou feel very insecure.

He was afraid that his wife, Gan Baobao, would be seduced away.

”What, is Valley Master Zhong unwilling?”

Ning Yuan asked with a smile.

Zhong Ling, who was beside them, didn’t know Zhong Wanchou’s thoughts. At this moment, she was beaming with joy. ”It would be great if Brother Murong stayed! Dad, just agree. The valley is so big, and there are so many rooms. What’s the harm in Brother Murong staying?”

”Moreover, those Four Evils don’t sound like good people. With Brother Murong here, if these villains try to harm us, Brother Murong can protect us.”

”Nonsense! What protection do I, your dad, need?”

Zhong Wanchou immediately jumped up and shouted, but then his expression softened. ”However, you have a point. Although I can deal with the four of them, I can’t split my attention to protect you and your mother. With Young Master Murong here, it can ensure absolute safety. I wonder if Young Master Murong is willing to stay?”

Zhong Wanchou looked at Ning Yuan as he spoke.

”Since Valley Master Zhong invites me, this Junior is naturally willing!”

Ning Yuan bowed slightly, saying solemnly.

Zhong Wanchou could only agree.
