The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Chapter 120 Changes in the situation

After the other young men and women from the aristocratic families left the private room, the room suddenly became quiet. Nangong Qing still had a concerned look on her face as she slowly walked over to Shui Ling'er.

"Sister Shui, don't bother with them," Nangong Qing said softly again. Her voice seemed to carry a kind of magic, yet it felt so unreal. She had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Then, Nangong Qing continued, "Sister Shui, don't be sad. The young master will know how good you are in the future. Cheer up. Don't let that bitch Xing Xuanli laugh at you." Every word seemed to be carefully crafted, but revealed a hypocritical air.

Shui Ling'er looked at Nangong Qing, a warmth welling up in her heart, and her eyes became firm. "I won't let her get what she wants." She raised her head stubbornly, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

At this time, in the private room next door, Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli were leisurely enjoying their meal. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) had a gentle smile on his handsome face, and his eyes were as gentle as water as he cast them at Xing Xuanli beside him.

His voice was low and soft, filled with endless doting, and he asked softly, "Li'er, have you eaten?" These few simple words seemed to contain thousands of words, warming people's hearts.

Xing Xuanli raised her head slightly, her star-like eyes sparkling with happiness. She replied softly in a gentle voice, "I'm done eating." The corners of her mouth raised, outlining a sweet smile.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) reached out and gently held Xing Xuanli's hand. The warm touch seemed to reach the bottom of their hearts. His eyes were full of love as he stared at Xing Xuanli quietly, as if he could never see enough.

Xing Xuanli also felt the warmth of Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han) palm, and the smile on her face became even brighter. They just quietly enjoyed this warm moment, without the hustle and bustle of the outside world, only the deep affection and attachment between each other.

A tranquil and beautiful atmosphere permeated the private room, as if time had stood still at this moment. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli seemed to be immersed in their own little world, enjoying this sweet moment that belonged only to them.

However, they were unaware that a heated argument was taking place in the private room next door. Shui Ling'er's voice was tearful, while Nangong Qing's was full of mockery. Although Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was enjoying his delicious meal, his ears were keenly aware of every sound coming from the private room next door.

His brow furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat displeased. He disliked the sounds of quarrels, nor did he like being dragged into other people's affairs. But he was, after all, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and his hearing far surpassed that of ordinary people, so he couldn't ignore the noise coming from the private room next door.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) put down his chopsticks and sighed softly. He turned to Xing Xuanli and said, "Let's go back." Xing Xuanli nodded, stood up, and left the private room with Yun Mohan (Nangong Han).

They slowly walked out of the restaurant, and the moment they stepped through the door, they seemed to have forgotten all the previous disturbances. The cool night breeze blew on their faces, bringing a hint of comfort.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli walked side by side on the street, the moonlight pouring down like water, stretching their shadows out. The lanterns lining the street emitted a soft glow, illuminating everything around them like a dream.

They stopped at times to gaze at the quaint buildings along the street, feeling the traces left by time. The exquisite carvings and unique styles seemed to tell the history and stories of Beiyu City.

Walking along the street, they came to a small river. The water shimmered in the moonlight, like a winding silver ribbon. Willow trees by the river swayed gently in the breeze, as if dancing to their stroll.

Xing Xuanli reached out her hand, gently touching the river water, feeling the coolness. She turned to look at Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), her eyes filled with tenderness. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) smiled and held Xing Xuanli's hand tightly, as if wanting to preserve this beautiful moment forever.

They continued walking, passing a busy stall filled with exquisite small items. Xing Xuanli was captivated by a small jade pendant. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), noticing her fondness for it, bought it without hesitation and placed it around her waist.

As they walked, they came to a small bridge. Standing on it, they could take in the entire nightscape of Beiyu City. The mountains in the distance loomed in the night, like an ink painting. The brilliant lights of the city filled the night with vitality and energy.

Xing Xuanli leaned on Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s shoulder and said softly, "Han, the night in Beiyu City is so beautiful."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded and said, "Yes, it's even more beautiful when I appreciate it with you."

Xing Xuanli said with a smile: "Let's go back!

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back now.

On that quiet evening, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a veil-like light on the road outside the mansion. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli were leisurely walking towards the mansion. However, the tranquility was suddenly broken by a burst of hurried footsteps. Several masked figures appeared before them like ghosts, blocking their way.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and Xing Xuanli's eyes met instantly, and at that moment, they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) had a devilish smile on his face, his voice icy cold. "Tell me, who are you, and why are you blocking the way of the king and the princess?"

The masked men looked at each other in silence. The masked man in the lead said, "Young Master Nangong, I'm sorry, we are only following orders.

When Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) heard about the scene of the masked man in the lead, he frowned slightly and stared at the masked man in front of him with a sharp gaze.

He shouted sternly, "Oh, oh, who are you acting for? Whose orders are you following?" His voice was low and powerful, echoing on the silent road, with an aura of majesty without anger.

The masked men looked at each other, as if hesitating whether to answer. There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in their eyes, and they were obviously intimidated by Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s aura.

In this tense standoff, a burst of urgent shouting suddenly rang out. Everyone's eyes turned in the direction of the sound, only to see a figure rushing over.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) also nodded slightly, feeling relieved. He knew that Gu Beichen's arrival might change the situation.

Gu Beichen walked up to them in two steps, looked up and down at Yun Mohan and Xing Xuanli, and asked anxiously, "Third brother, are you okay?" His eyes were full of concern and worry.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) shook his head and said, "We are fine, we just met a few troublesome guys." His eyes fell on the masked men and his face became solemn.

Gu Beichen turned his head to look at the masked man, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted sternly: "Who are you? How dare you rob here!" His voice was as loud as thunder and full of majesty.

When the masked men saw Gu Beichen coming, they became even more frightened, but they still said with gritted teeth: "Young Master Gu, we...we are following orders." Their voices were trembling, and they obviously lacked confidence.

Gu Beichen was surprised, then narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the masked men with a dangerous look, and said with a sneer: "Oh, you know this young master, since you know this young master, tell me, who sent you here to block the way of Young Master Nangong?

Xing Xuanli watched Gu Beichen from the side, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that Gu Beichen was a good brother of Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and would definitely help them solve their problems. Her eyes were full of trust, and she looked forward to Gu Beichen's actions.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said to Gu Beichen, "Beichen, I'll leave these ants to you. I'll take your sister-in-law back home first.

Gu Beichen patted his chest to signal Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will make them tell me who is behind this."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) nodded and took Xing Xuanli away.
