Chapter 89

Chen Dasheng just nodded. He wouldn’t tell Nangong Mu that he had only spent one night practicing this boxing technique. The super comprehension ability of the Juling Clan was something ordinary people couldn’t imagine.

"Uncle, don’t stand in the courtyard. Let’s go inside and talk!" Chen Xiaoli gave Chen Dasheng a meaningful look, then changed the subject and led Nangong Mu into the house.

"Where’s Zixuan? Why isn’t she here?" As they walked inside, Chen Xiaoli looked around, seemingly searching for someone.

Nangong Mu said, "That girl said she wanted to go for a walk and just ran out."

"Another one?"

Chen Dasheng walked behind the two, but was taken aback by Nangong Mu’s words. The image of that girl just now flashed in his mind, and he felt a sense of unease.

"Grandpa! I’m back!"

At that moment, a cheerful voice came from behind. Chen Dasheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Turning around, he saw a graceful figure, like a flower butterfly, gracefully walking into the courtyard.

It was none other than the girl who had just had a conflict with him outside, who said her name was Nangong Zixuan. Could she be this Uncle’s granddaughter?

Chen Dasheng’s face twitched. Could it be this coincidental?

"It’s you?"

Nangong Zixuan skipped in, and when she looked up, she met Chen Dasheng’s eyes. Her face immediately turned green. "Well, you scoundrel, you actually dare to come here and cause trouble. Watch me deal with you!"

Nangong Zixuan had just done a good deed and was in a good mood, but seeing Chen Dasheng, she couldn’t help but lose her temper. She rushed to Chen Dasheng and slapped him with a palm.

This guy actually dared to come here. Truly, he had a road to heaven but chose the path to hell. Outside, there were many people, and she was still a bit wary of Chen Dasheng, but now, with her grandfather, Nangong Mu, a Xiantian Wuzong, present, how could she let this scoundrel act recklessly?

This palm, fueled by anger, was delivered with full force. A layer of flame seemed to ignite in her palm, and the intense inner strength surged, aiming to flatten this scoundrel who bullied the elderly.

"Stop!"

A stern and powerful voice rang out. Chen Dasheng had just assumed a horse stance, preparing to use the Ascending Dragon Fist to meet Nangong Zixuan’s palm, when he saw a towering figure block his view.

A faint aura formed in front of Nangong Mu, creating a protective shield. Nangong Mu stood proudly, and when Nangong Zixuan’s palm struck the shield, it dissipated into nothing. Nangong Zixuan was pushed back several steps by the powerful rebound, and was only stabilized by Chen Xiaoli’s quick reflexes.

Damn, this old man is formidable!

Chen Dasheng’s eyes widened. Is this the legendary protective true qi? Who is this old man, and why is he so terrifying?

"Grandpa, why are you helping him? This person is a scoundrel!" Nangong Zixuan stomped her foot, her beautiful eyes filled with indignation.

"Shut up!"

Nangong Mu frowned and scolded Nangong Zixuan. He then turned to Chen Dasheng, who shrugged and looked innocent. Nangong Mu then turned back to Nangong Zixuan. "What’s going on? Why did you attack him as soon as you saw him?"

"Grandpa, I just saw this scoundrel bullying an old man outside, it was too despicable..." Nangong Zixuan pointed at Chen Dasheng, recounting his misdeeds.

Nangong Mu frowned, turning to look at Chen Dasheng. Could this kid really have a bad character?

"Zixuan, there must be a misunderstanding!" Chen Xiaoli’s face also changed, and her gaze fell on Chen Dasheng. But she believed her brother would never be the kind of person to bully others, so there must be a misunderstanding!

Chen Dasheng said somewhat irritably, "That old man was a thief, he stole my wallet. I was just catching the thief, and this girl, uh, this young lady came out to play the hero. We had a misunderstanding, and ended up fighting..."

He slowly recounted the events, feeling quite helpless. He was clearly the victim, but was being treated as the bad guy. Where could he go to seek justice?

After hearing Chen Dasheng’s account, Nangong Mu and Chen Xiaoli’s frowns gradually eased. If what Chen Dasheng said was true, it was just a misunderstanding.

"Grandpa, don’t listen to his lies. He knows martial arts, and he’s not even weaker than me. How could that old man, who can barely walk, steal his wallet?" Nangong Zixuan was convinced that Chen Dasheng was lying and was even more indignant.

Before Nangong Mu could speak, Chen Dasheng stepped out from behind him and said to Nangong Zixuan, "Young lady, I know you meant well, but doing good deeds recklessly won’t bring good results!"

"What do you mean?" Nangong Zixuan looked at Chen Dasheng with a hint of confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

Chen Dasheng shrugged. "Check if your wallet is still there."

"Huh?"

Nangong Zixuan was taken aback, staring at Chen Dasheng for a long time before hesitantly reaching into her pocket.

"Huh? Where’s my wallet?"

The pocket where her wallet should have been was empty. She checked all her other pockets, but found nothing. Nangong Zixuan’s face changed. She clearly remembered putting her wallet in her left pocket, so how could it be gone?

She searched everywhere, even almost lifting her skirt, but found no trace of her wallet. Nangong Zixuan seemed to realize something and looked at Chen Dasheng with a strange expression.

Chen Dasheng’s face twitched. "Why are you looking at me? Do you think I took your wallet? I was holding it when I left!"

That’s right. She had seen Chen Dasheng leave, and he was still holding her wallet. During that time, she hadn’t been in contact with anyone except that old man. Could it be...

"It’s impossible! He couldn’t have stolen it!" Nangong Zixuan still couldn’t believe it. After all, she was doing a good deed, and the old man’s gratitude seemed genuine. How could he steal from her?

Chen Dasheng’s lips curled into a slight smile. He turned his face away and looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, speaking in a sarcastic tone. "I told you, good intentions don’t always bring good results. Some people just don’t believe it. Mistaking Feng Jing for Ma Liang, oh, the feeling of being vindicated is so good!"

"You!"

Seeing Chen Dasheng’s smug look, Nangong Zixuan was furious but couldn’t find words to counter him. She could only glare at him. Although she was extremely unwilling to believe the old man was a thief, given the current situation, he was the only one who had been in contact with her, making him the prime suspect.

Seeing Nangong Zixuan’s reaction, Nangong Mu and Chen Xiaoli understood what had happened. To avoid further conflict, Chen Xiaoli quickly intervened. "Zixuan, don’t be angry. It was all a misunderstanding. Let’s just clear it up. Consider it a lesson learned."

Chen Dasheng shrugged and whispered, "This lesson is heavy. It’s not a big deal that her wallet was stolen, but don’t drag me into it. I was about to get my wallet back, but she messed it up."

Before he could finish, he felt a fierce killing intent from Chen Xiaoli’s eyes and quickly shut up.

"It’s just a wallet. How much did you lose? I’ll pay you back!" Nangong Zixuan glared at Chen Dasheng, knowing she was wrong but still angry because of their bad first impression and his words.

"Shut up!"

As soon as Nangong Zixuan spoke, Chen Dasheng heard a loud shout by his ear. The sound was so loud that it made his head spin and his ears ring. He instinctively shrank his neck.

This old man has a powerful voice!

"What’s with all the ‘you, you, you’? No manners at all! Dasheng is your fiancé!" Nangong Mu, with one hand behind his back, walked to Nangong Zixuan and scolded her.

"He’s Chen Dasheng?"

"Fiancé?"
