As two major powers in Wushuang City, the Qin family and the Hunyuan Sect had a poor relationship.
The eldest son of the Qin family arriving late at night perplexed Mo Nancheng.
Despite his confusion, he said, "Please invite the young master of the Qin family to ascend the mountain."
"Yes!"
The disciples guarding the mountain quickly retreated.
Mo Nancheng looked at his second brother, Mo Zhuo, and couldn't help but say, "Second brother, you should go back and rest. Your appearance... is not very suitable for meeting people."
Mo Zhuo, with a wronged expression, turned and left.
A moment later, Qin Chu, accompanied by two Qin family servants, arrived at the main hall of the Hunyuan Sect.
"Junior Qin Chu pays his respects to Sect Master Mo."
Qin Chu bowed to Mo Nancheng.
"Young Master Qin, please be seated." Mo Nancheng invited him to sit, ordered tea to be prepared, and got straight to the point, "May I ask why Young Master Qin has come so late at night?"
Qin Chu said, "To be honest, Sect Master Mo, our Qin family wants to ask you to help us kill someone."
???
Mo Nancheng was stunned.
He thought he was hallucinating.
A meaningful smile then appeared on his face, "Young Master Qin, did I hear correctly?"
"Your Qin family is asking our Hunyuan Sect to kill someone?"
"If I remember correctly, your Qin family also has many experts."
"Why are you asking our Hunyuan Sect this time?"
A Hunyuan Sect expert scoffed, "Have all your Qin family experts died off?"
As soon as these words were spoken, laughter erupted.
They couldn't imagine that the Qin family would ask them to kill someone.
Mo Nancheng: "Stop talking nonsense... speak the truth, the moon is really big and round tonight!"
Qin Chu's face turned green.
Although Mo Nancheng had changed the subject, if he wasn't mistaken, Mo Nancheng had intended to say: Stop talking nonsense and speak the truth.
Damn it!
If he wasn't seeking their help, he wouldn't have come here to endure this humiliation.
However, enduring a little humiliation was not a big deal.
As long as the Hunyuan Sect killed Chen Nan, they could inform the imperial court and ask them to eliminate the Hunyuan Sect.
Yes.
This time, the Qin family was not just using a knife to kill Chen Nan, but also planning to use the imperial court's knife to eliminate the Hunyuan Sect.
The Qin family did not actually oppose having other sect forces within their fiefdom.
But there was a condition: that sect's strength had to be weaker than the Qin family's and they had to obey the Qin family's orders and arrangements, not be equal in power to the Qin family.
Moreover, they often disregarded the Qin family's authority.
If that was the case, then that force could not be allowed to exist.
Therefore, Chen Nan's appearance was a godsend for the Qin family.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu said, "Sect Master Mo might not know, but I will be holding my wedding in three days."
"And our Qin family has a rule that we must not kill during a joyous occasion."
"Therefore, this matter can only be handled by the experts of the Hunyuan Sect."
Mo Nancheng understood.
The Qin family's wedding was imminent, and it was indeed not suitable for such matters.
Mo Nancheng casually said, "Young Master Qin's wedding is indeed a joyous occasion, but may I ask which family's young lady is the bride?"
Qin Chu smiled and said, "She's a girl from an ordinary family. Even if I tell you her name, Sect Master Mo might not recognize her."
Mo Nancheng: "Tell me, who do you want our Hunyuan Sect to kill?"
Qin Chu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "He's just a nobody."
"It's like this, tomorrow night I will invite him for a meal at Yanjun Tower."
"Then you just need to have someone wait in the room next door."
"After I leave, you can take action to eliminate him."
As he spoke, Qin Chu produced a storage bag, "Here are two ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs and one thousand high-grade immortal stones, consider it my treat for the brothers to have a drink!"
Mo Nancheng nodded slightly, "Since Young Master Qin has come all the way here, I must help with this."
"Don't worry, I will send someone to Yanjun Tower tomorrow to wait."
"I guarantee I'll help you eliminate that person."
"Then I will return and await your good news!" Qin Chu was overjoyed and turned to leave with his two servants.
"Big brother, I feel like the Qin family is definitely plotting something bad." Mo Zhuo walked out. He hadn't left earlier but had been hiding and listening to their conversation.
A trace of disdain flickered across Mo Nancheng's lips, "It's just killing someone, what kind of bad plot can there be?"
He paused and said, "It's been a long time since I've been down the mountain. Let's go to Yanjun Tower together tomorrow!"
Mo Zhuo: "Okay."
------
Chen Nan did not return to the Nie family with Nie Yao.
After all, they were not married yet, and staying overnight at a girl's house late at night would be considered indecent.
It would attract criticism.
Even though Nie Qingsong was a scoundrel, he did not want people to look at Nie Yao with disdainful eyes.
However...
He entered the immortal mansion and was brought home by Nie Yao.
As soon as they arrived home, Nie Qingsong rushed forward with a fawning smile, "Girl, the Qin family sent someone this afternoon with an invitation, asking you and Chen Nan to attend a banquet at Yanjun Tower tomorrow evening."
"Remember to tell him that you two will go together tomorrow."
For Nie Qingsong, the Qin family had already shown their attitude.
The annulment of the engagement was considered settled.
As long as the engagement could be annulled, their Nie family would receive a marriage decree from Emperor Yan.
This was a glorious event for their ancestors!
From now on, who would dare to gossip behind their backs?
Who would dare to mock him?
Frankly speaking, even if he went to gamble at a casino, the casino staff would add two more slices of tea to his teacup.
"I know."
Nie Yao said faintly. After returning to her room, she quietly called out Chen Nan's name.
The next second, she disappeared from the room and entered the immortal mansion.
Then she told Chen Nan about the Qin family's invitation to the banquet.
Chen Nan smiled, "Since they've invited us, we should give them face and see what they want to do."
"I don't know what they want to do, but I do," Nie Yao's face turned red, and she gently unbuttoned her clothes...
And then...
(Ten thousand words omitted here, many details omitted)
The night passed without incident.
By the next evening, Chen Nan and Nie Yao arrived at Yanjun Tower as scheduled.
Qin family servants had been waiting downstairs.
Chen Nan didn't recognize them.
However, the Qin family servants had accompanied Qin Chu to the imperial palace and had the fortune to witness Chen Nan refining weapons and pills, and crushing the array master from the Xue Kingdom in formations.
"Young Master Chen, Miss Nie, please follow me." The Qin family servant respectfully led them to a large private room on the ninth floor.
At this moment, Qin Chu was already waiting there.
"It is truly an honor for me, Qin, that the Three Grandmasters have come to the banquet. Please, be seated quickly." Qin Chu was extremely enthusiastic.
No matter what, he had to maintain appearances.
Of course, if Chen Nan hadn't stolen his woman, he wouldn't have minded becoming friends with Chen Nan.
After all, even he admired Chen Nan's abilities.
After Chen Nan took his seat, Qin Chu ordered the dishes to be served.
At the same time, a disciple from the Hunyuan Sect ran into the adjacent room.
With a look of horror, he said, "Sect Master, the person the Qin family asked us to kill is the Three Grandmaster!"
Mo Zhuo gasped, "What?"
"They asked us to kill Grandmaster Chen?"
Mo Nancheng coldly snorted, "This damned Qin family, they're thinking of killing Grandmaster Chen? Do they know Grandmaster Chen's strength?"
