To know that his father was the commander of the city defense!
And in this vast Central Continent City, not many people could directly send a message to his father!
At this moment!
Qing Ning ran over, panting heavily, "Third Master, your humble servant arrived late to save you, please forgive my offense!"
Boom!
The plea for salvation made Qing Chen's heart turn to ash!
At this moment!
He knew Wu Di's identity!
Liu Rui's scalp also went numb!
They didn't know who Third Master was!
But the plea for salvation had already explained everything!
After all!
In the current Wu Kingdom, only two people could be referred to as needing salvation!
The Emperor of Wu Kingdom!
And the Third Prince, the逍遥王 (Xiaoyao King)!
Only!
She never dreamed!
Even the 逍遥王 (Xiaoyao King) called her sister-in-law!
If she had known this earlier!
Even if she were given a hundred guts, she would not have dared to oppose Consort Yu!
Wu Di spoke, "Commander Qing, this fellow who claims to be your son, is he truly your son?"
"This King wants to know!"
"Did he want to kill me, or did you want to kill me?"
Until now!
Qing Ning finally saw his son's ashen face beside him!
He never dreamed!
That the person Wu Di mentioned as the assailant was his own son!
Murdering a royal prince!
This was a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations!
"Third Master, there must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Qing Ning was extremely anxious!
Although the development of events was unfavorable to them!
However!
He did not lose his composure!
Because everyone knew Wu Di was greedy for money!
As long as he was given money!
There was no problem that couldn't be solved!
Even if he didn't have much in terms of assets!
The Liu family's merchant guild could also contribute a part!
At this moment!
Wu Sheng's voice rang out, "From your words, are you admitting that he is your son?"
Only at this moment!
Qing Ning finally saw Wu Sheng standing beside Chen Nan!
He was so scared that he almost collapsed to the ground!
One Wu Di was already difficult for him to handle!
Let alone Wu Sheng!
If it were only Wu Di, he might still have a way to resolve the current crisis!
But facing Wu Sheng, this guy who was impossible to reason with, he was truly unable to cope!
"Answer my question, is he your son?" Wu Sheng intensified his tone, his voice carrying a chill!
"No, no, I have never seen this person!" Qing Ning was chilled to the bone!
Even though this was his beloved son!
He also knew!
Once he admitted that the person was his son!
What awaited him would be beheading!
Not only him!
Even the Qing clan would be exterminated!
The only way to save himself now was to distance himself from all connections!
Qing Chen's expression froze!
He did not expect his father to refuse to acknowledge him!
Wu Sheng was somewhat satisfied with this answer, "Since you don't know him, what should be done if someone attacks my brother and me?"
Qing Ning gritted his teeth, "Publicly harming a prince, execution!"
Plop!
Qing Chen directly collapsed to the ground, crawling and hugging Wu Di's leg, "Third Master, this lowly one was blind, please be merciful and let me go!"
"It's all Liu Rui, this damned woman, it's all her!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare my life!"
As he said this!
A pale yellow liquid flowed out from beneath him!
A smell of urine spread out!
"Don't worry, she will accompany you on your way!" Qing Ning's eyes were ferocious as he pierced Qing Chen's heart with a sword!
He never thought he would be sending his son off before his own death!
Nor did he expect to kill his own son with his own hands!
But now!
He had no choice!
Liu Rui was in a panic, "No, don't kill me..."
Hiss!
Qing Ning raised his long sword and slashed it across her neck!
Thump!
With a dull thud!
Liu Rui's head rolled to the ground!
Wu Sheng said, "Alright, alright, have someone clean this place up. Brother Chen, let's continue drinking!"
"Good!"
Chen Nan was quite satisfied with the way this matter was handled!
"Brother Chen, I am truly sorry for what happened today. How about coming to my manor another day?" Wu Di said with a sense of guilt. He never expected that going out for a meal would lead to such an incident!
For him, such an event really affected his mood!
"What's so good about your manor?" Wu Sheng said with disdain, "Brother Chen, how about we go out of the city to play another day?"
"Honestly, I really miss the days when we came to Central Continent City, with the sky as our blanket and the earth as our bed!"
"Especially the grilled meat you made, little brother, I'm still savoring it!"
When they first came to Central Continent City together!
Chen Nan's cooking skills had completely conquered him!
Wu Di also showed a look of disdain, "How can it be as convenient outside the city as inside?"
"You don't understand anything!" Wu Sheng said, "Although it's inconvenient outside the city, many times, you can only feel the joy by doing things yourself!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, "Brother Chen, how about we go out of the city to play tomorrow?"
"Coincidentally, I have a summer resort outside the city, and there's a hot spring there!"
"We're idle anyway!"
"We can go there and stay for a while!"
Chen Nan looked at Consort Yu, "Do you want to go?"
"Sure!" Consort Yu also missed Chen Nan's grilled meat!
"Alright, then we'll go out of the city for a few days tomorrow!" Chen Nan also wanted to relax by going out!
After all!
Whether it was work!
Or life!
There should be a balance between work and rest!
Appropriate relaxation was beneficial for cultivation!
Wu Di couldn't help but say, "Do you need me to prepare some rare ingredients?"
Wu Sheng's eyes widened, "Why prepare so many things?"
"Don't you know that the most interesting part of life is curiosity and longing for the unknown?"
"If your life is all planned out, and you have to live according to the plan, then what's the meaning of living?"
Wu Di nodded slightly, "It seems to make some sense!"
"Alright, then we'll gather at the Stargazer Tower tomorrow morning!"
The few of them hit it off!
They decided to go out and have fun the next day!
After the banquet at Piaoxiang Pavilion ended!
Yu Mingzhi and his wife invited Chen Nan to their manor!
But Chen Nan politely declined!
Chen Nan didn't have a very good impression of Yu Mingzhi and his wife!
The reason he sat down to eat with them today was ultimately to give Consort Yu some face!
"Uncle Yu, this storage bag contains two hundred thousand top-grade immortal stones!" Chen Nan took out a storage bag, "One hundred thousand can help the Sifang Merchant Guild through its current difficulties!"
"And the other hundred thousand is my betrothal gift!"
"From now on, Consort Yu will stay by my side!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you old folks at any time!"
Guan Hanliu excitedly took the storage bag, "A wife follows her husband, she naturally has to be by your side since she has become your woman!"
It could be seen!
They did not have much attachment to Consort Yu!
Instead, they preferred immortal stones even more!
Consort Yu also appeared indifferent to this!
She had long known that in her parents' eyes, profit came first!
They only cared about immortal stones and profits!
There was no familial affection at all!
Their indifference and heartlessness also made her decide to leave Wu Kingdom with Chen Nan!
Even if they wandered the world!
As long as she could be with the man she loved!
It would be the happiest thing for her!
En!
Even if she couldn't get familial affection!
She wouldn't lose out on love, would she?
