"It's really unreasonable. I didn't expect that someone in my Jia family would do this." Jia Jingcai looked indignant.
When Jia¡¯s mother heard that she had been poisoned, she seemed very calm and didn¡¯t say a word.
Nangong Yi said a few words to calm Jia Jingcai's anger, and then began to use the blood shadow magic to drive away the poison for Jia Mu.
About an hour later, Nangong Yi had forced all the poison out of Jia Mu¡¯s body. Although these poisons are extremely poisonous, they are nothing to the Blood Shadow Divine Art that can restrain hundreds of poisons.
It was late at night, Jia's mother had fallen into a deep sleep, and then Jia Jin went to school but had not returned home yet.
"Uncle, I don't know how to get to Xiangyue Tower? I want to go and see Brother Jia." Nangong Yi, Jia Jingcai, and Hong Yunxiu left Jia's mother's room and immediately asked Jia Jingcai.
"My Jia Mansion is in the west of the city, and Xiangyue Tower is in the east of the city. They are several miles apart. Let me tell you, you may not be able to find them. Why don't I ask the servants in the mansion to take you there." Jia Jingcai thought for a while and said.
"That's fine." Nangong Yi agreed happily.
In this way, Nangong Yi, led by a servant of Jia Mansion, left Jia Mansion with Hong Yunxiu and Mao Mao and ran towards Xiangyue Tower.
Originally, Nangong Yi wanted Hong Yunxiu and Mao Mao to stay in Jia Mansion to rest, but Hong Yunxiu refused, so Nangong Yi had no choice but to take her with him.
It was already late at night, and most of the people in Kyoto City who had been partying all night went home to rest. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the shops on both sides were closing one after another.
Xiangyue Tower also became quiet at this time. There was only an oil lamp left in the hall downstairs and no guests. Only the lights upstairs were still bright.
Maomao stayed behind in front of Xiangyue Tower, while Nangong Yi and Hong Yunxiu went to the restaurant together under the leadership of Jia's servants and the waiter of the restaurant.
As expected, Jia Jinxue is still in the restaurant, his face is not very good, he looks like he is in trouble.
But when Jia Jinxue saw Nangong Yi, he immediately showed surprise. He stood up from his chair, ran to Nangong Yi and said, "Brother Huang, why are you here?"
"Yunxiu and I arrived at your house first and met with your father and your lord. We heard that you were discussing business with someone at Xiangyue Tower, but you still didn't return, so we came here to look for you."
"I didn't expect Miss Hong to come too. It's great." Jia Jinxue also expressed surprise when he saw Hong Yunxiu.
"Brother Jia, how's your business deal going?" Hong Yunxiu asked with a smile.
"We are talking. Brother Huang, Miss Hong, come and sit with me here." Jia Jinxue said and pulled Nangong Yi and Hong Yunxiu to the table.
It was then that he remembered that there were no extra chairs, and immediately ordered the waiter to get them. The servants of the Jia family left after taking Nangong Yi and Hong Yunxiu upstairs.
The waiter seemed to be in awe of the guests here. After hearing Jia Jinxue's instructions, he went to the next room to get a chair without saying a word.
Although the waiter moved quickly, it still took time. Hong Yunxiu had already sat on Jia Jinxue's seat, while Nangong Yi and Jia Jinxue were still standing.
Nangong Yi quickly glanced at the people at the table and saw that six of the eight people at the table were elderly people over fifty years old, and there was only one middle-aged man who was about forty years old. In addition, there was only one young and beautiful woman on the table.
When Nangong Yi laid his eyes on this woman, he was immediately startled.
After Nangong Yi and Hong Yunxiu went upstairs, the people at the wine table turned their attention to Nangong Yi. Therefore, the subtle expression on Nangong Yi's face could not escape the eyes of anyone at the table. Hong Yunxiu even looked at Nangong Yi. He saw this change in his eyes and glared at him dissatisfied.
Nangong Yi noticed his gaffe. Fortunately, the waiter had already brought two chairs and was about to put them away.
So Nangong Yi took the opportunity to grab a chair from his pocket and sat down on it to cover up the gaffe he had just made.
Nangong Yi sat opposite the woman. After sitting down, he glanced at her inadvertently and found that the woman was also staring at him, so he quickly averted his eyes and looked at others as if nothing had happened.
"Ms. sir, do you know the sister across from you?" Hong Yunxiu asked in a low voice.
"We know her. Last time I went to Qinzhou, I took her father's caravan." Nangong Yi replied.
It turns out that this woman is none other than Li Ruolan, whom Nangong Yi met on the way to Qinzhou after leaving the Demon Cult not long ago. In addition to Li Ruolan, her father was also at the table, but her maid Qiu Ju was not there.
When Nangong Yi saw Li Ruolan, he had already used Qianxie Transformation to change his appearance, so now Li Ruolan didn't recognize Nangong Yi, and after looking at him a few times, he didn't recognize Nangong Yi.Looked away.
"Mr. Jia, won't you introduce this friend of yours to us?" the middle-aged man at the table said immediately after Jia Jinxue also sat down.
"Of course, this is my good friend Huang Yi and my savior. If he hadn't saved me a year and a half ago, I would have died in Qingzhou." Jia Jinxue immediately introduced Nangong Yi.
However, he didn¡¯t know that Nangong Yi had officially changed his name, so he called Nangong Yi Huang Yi.
Nangong Yi does not reject the title Huang Yi and does not care about it.
But Hong Yunxiu was not like that. After hearing Jia Jinxue's introduction, she immediately corrected him: "Brother Jia, my husband-in-law is no longer called Huang Yi, but Nangong Yi."
Hong Yunxiu¡¯s words did not cause any changes in the expressions of the others, except Li Ruolan¡¯s hand, which froze in mid-air.
When Nangong Yi met Li Ruolan, in order not to attract other people's attention, he did not say the name "Huang Yi", but said that he was Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi did not expect that he would change to the name Nangong Yi so soon, nor did he expect to see Li Ruolan and her father here again.
It took a while for Li Ruolan's father to remember that he had met a man who called himself Nangong Yi, but he did not know about Nangong Yi's previous disguise.
Jia Jinxue was slightly stunned after hearing Hong Yunxiu's words, and then said quickly: "Yes, yes, yesit's Nangong Yi. I almost forgot that senior Xuanjizi is just Brother HuangNangong's master."
Jia Jinxue smiled awkwardly, and then began to introduce the eight people present to Nangong Yi, including Li Ruolan.
Jia Jinxue finally introduced Li Ruolan¡¯s father and daughter. I don¡¯t know what happened, but when Jia Jinxue introduced everyone else, he only mentioned their surnames instead of their names. Only when he introduced Li Ruolan¡¯s father, he mentioned Li Ruolan¡¯s father¡¯s name. Only then did Nangong Yi know Li Ruolan¡¯s father¡¯s name. His name is Li Jingming.
After introducing Li Ruolan, Li Ruolan immediately stood up and asked Nangong Yi: "Brother Nangong, you should be a martial artist, right?"
"Exactly." Nangong Yi nodded.
"Then do you know if there is any way in the world that can change a person's appearance?"
Nangong Yi didn¡¯t expect Li Ruolan¡¯s question to be so direct and cryptic. He hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°There is a secret technique in Qiandao called Disguise, which is specially used to change one¡¯s appearance through disguise.¡±
"It turns out that there is a way to change one's appearance in the martial arts world. Brother Nangong has a compound surname. I wonder if he is from Thousand Islands?" Li Ruolan asked again.
Although Li Ruolan is a weak woman, her thoughts are extremely delicate. These two questions she asked were just right, and the connection was seamless.
Nangong Yi said that the art of disguise is the secret art of Qiandao, and as we all know, Qiandao completely adopts compound surnames. It just so happened that Nangong also had a compound surname. Therefore, Li Ruolan used the art of disguise to ask Nangong Yi if he was from Qiandao. Others could not detect any flaws at all. Nangong Yi knew that Li Ruolan was actually testing him.
When he went north to Qinzhou to meet Li Ruolan, Li Ruolan and her maid Qiu Ju had a special discussion with Nangong Yi on the issue of compound surnames, knowing that Nangong Yi was not from Qiandao, but from Qingzhou.
Nangong Yi actually didn't want to be recognized by Li Ruolan, but he couldn't lie in front of Jia Jinxue and Hong Yunxiu. If Jia Jinxue and Hong Yunxiu, who didn't know the truth, exposed his lies, it would definitely hit Li Ruolan, so Nangong Yi had to answer honestly : "No, I was born in the Central Plains and have never been to Thousand Islands yet."
After answering Li Ruolan's words, Nangong Yi had already guessed what Li Ruolan would ask next.
"Then where in the Central Plains is Brother Nangong from? Could it be that he is from Qingzhou?" Li Ruolan's question answered Nangong Yi's guess.
"I am indeed from Qingzhou." Nangong Yi replied helplessly.
Li Ruolan smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and sat back on the chair as if nothing had happened.
It was not until this moment that Nangong Yi truly recognized Li Ruolan, and suddenly discovered that Li Ruolan had such a delicate mind beneath his weak appearance. Thinking of this, Nangong Yi seemed to understand why Li Ruolan came with Li Jingming and sat with so many wealthy people in Kyoto.
Jia Jinxue also did not hear anything wrong with the conversation between Li Ruolan and Nangong Yi, but his intuition told him that this was not the case. Thinking of Nangong Yi's previous gaffe and Li Ruolan's abnormality, Jia Jinxue became more sure of his guess.
"Brother, have you and Miss Li known each other before?" Jia Jinxue leaned into Nangong Yi's ear and asked quietly.
"We'll talk about this later when we get back. You'd better negotiate the business with them quickly, and then come back with me. I have one more important thing to tell you."
The more important thing Nangong Yi is referring to is of course the poisoning of Jia Mu. Now that Jia Mu's poison has been cured, the next thing to do is to track down the murderer, so Nangong Yicai is not in a hurry to tell Jia Jinxue about it.
"That's fine." Jia Jinxue nodded, then looked at the other people on the table and said, "Everyone, let's continue our previous topic."
Everyone said yes again and again, and turned the topic to business matters. Except for Li Ruolan, everyone almost regarded Nangong Yi as transparent.
The few people who shared the table with Jia Jinxue knew at a glance that they were rich and powerful people, and they were not uncommon in the martial arts world, so they never took Nangong Yi to heart at all and regarded them as just a minor incident.
Nangong Yi didn't care and sat quietly with Hong Yunxiu next to Jia Jinxue, listening to what they said.
