Nangong Yunxuan gritted her teeth and reluctantly handed the Vigor Consolidating Pill to Lu Xiaocha.

After that, she probably felt embarrassed and did not appear in front of Lu Xiaocha and the others for a few days.

Nangong Yunhuan brought the four of them around to take a look. They went to the place where they specialized in planting herbs and caught a few field mice and wild rabbits. In the end, they all became Lu Xiaocha’s food.

Nothing happened on the First Elder’s side. The entire Nangong Family seemed to have calmed down, but it felt more like the calm before the storm.

That night, outside Nangong Yunxiu’s pharmacy, a group of people dressed in black and wearing masks quietly approached.

The night gave them the best cover. After taking down two guards of the Nangong Family, these intruders were also discovered.

The invaders seemed to be stronger. Although the process was a little dangerous, they still successfully entered the pharmacy and obtained the Longevity Fruit.

After this group of people left, they did not notice that a small figure had followed them into a remote old residence.

The lights in the old mansion were on. The First Elder and the Third Elder of the Nangong Family seemed to be drinking tea leisurely, but in fact, they were paying attention to the movements outside the door.

The Third Elder was a skinny and gloomy old man.

“Big Brother, is that really the Longevity Fruit?”

The First Elder was certain, “There’s definitely no mistake. There are records in the ancient books that the Longevity Fruit is shaped like a peach. It’s very transparent and has a milky white fluorescence. When the box was opened, I saw it with my own eyes. I definitely didn’t make a mistake.

Also, we both know that if we’re lucky, some mutant plants will grow in the heretic’s nest. The higher the level of the heretic, the more likely it will be to cherish it. Therefore, that Longevity Fruit should be a companion plant of that Grade S heretic.”

The Third Elder no longer had any doubts.

“Third Brother, are you sure those people can do it?”

The Third Elder said, “I specially hired the strongest assassin organization to accept the mission. After all, the Nangong Family is only a medicine refiner. Even if the guards are powerful, they are not as good as real assassins.”

The First Elder’s eyes darkened. “It would be best if we can get rid of Nangong Yuxiu this time.”

The Third Elder could not deny it, but there was a high chance that it was impossible.

Nangong Yuxiu’s life was too expensive. All his and his brother’s things combined were not enough to pay for his life.

The people in that organization never made a loss.

At this moment, there was some movement outside. The two of them looked at each other and hurriedly walked out.

“Have you found the thing? What about Nangong Yuxiu?”

“Found it.” The masked man in black’s voice was cold as he handed a box to the First Elder.

“Nangong Yuxiu wasn’t there. We won’t kill him.”

They didn’t kill Nangong Yuxiu not because he was powerful, but because of his alchemy skills.

Even their leader did not want such a genius who could refine all kinds of perfect medicinal pills to die.

Although he was a little disappointed, the First Elder was already very happy to obtain the Longevity Fruit.

The two elders couldn’t wait to open the box. A crystal clear fruit that looked like a peach with a milky white glow appeared in front of everyone.

Excitement appeared in the eyes of the two elders.

But in the next second, the Longevity Fruit in their hands suddenly turned into a slender poisonous snake that opened its mouth to bite.

The assassin’s eyes narrowed as he pulled out his dagger and cut it.

As the ‘snake’ was cut off, a white smoke spread out from the box.

“Oh no, we’ve been tricked!”

Everyone’s expressions changed. The two elders were the closest, and they were weak to begin with. In the next second, they fell to the ground.

The assassins in black ran out of the house, but that was all.

After running out of the old residence, all the assassins collapsed weakly in the courtyard.

On top of the wall of the courtyard, under the moonlight, a black cat looked down at the group of people below. Its long furry black tail swayed in the air, and its golden vertical pupils glowed faintly in the night, giving people a strange feeling of fear.

The sound of unhurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard. A young man in white slowly walked in under the moonlight.

The night seemed to have become his background. The outstanding and elegant young man was cold. The moonlight shone into his eyes, as if it was sprinkled with a layer of snow.

Behind him, a delicate and fair girl also walked in. Her black eyes stared at the people on the ground.

“Uncle, who are they?”

Nangong Yuxiu looked down at the people on the ground.

“Assassins.”

His voice was cold and indifferent.

“Let’s go and see the First Elder and Third Elder of the Nangong Family.”

Behind them were many members of the Nangong Family.

They watched everything in silence. They really did not expect the First Elder and Third Elder to do such a thing. They hired assassins to steal the treasure and even wanted to kill the Patriarch.

No matter what, what they did was a humiliation to the Nangong Family.

Although the assassins on the ground did not faint, they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

The information clearly showed that this person did not have any martial arts skills, but Nangong Yuxiu gave them a dangerous feeling that made them tremble.

The Nightmare Cat jumped down from the wall and walked elegantly to Lu Xiaocha.

In the old mansion.

The two elders collapsed to the ground weakly. At this moment, they still didn’t understand that they had been tricked by Nangong Yuxiu. They were really idiots.

However, they did not understand how the Longevity Fruit would become like this when they opened it.

The First Elder gritted his teeth. “It’s that heretic!”

How could he have forgotten this?

Perhaps he subconsciously did not believe that humans could control a Grade S heretic.

When they saw Nangong Yuxiu and the people behind him, the First Elder and Third Elder were furious.

“Nangong Yuxiu, you set us up!”

Nangong Yuxiu sat down on a stool and patted the chair beside him.

“Xiaocha, come here.”

Everyone in the Nangong Family couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows.

The younger generation even cast envious gazes.

Many of them wanted to get close to the Patriarch, but they couldn’t.

Lu Xiaocha walked towards her uncle and sat down beside him as if no one was around. Fu Ye and Lu Beifeng did not stand around either and found their own seats.

Lu Beichen was speechless.

He smiled politely at the elders who followed him and sat down next to his fourth brother.

The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder were speechless.

Fortunately, there were many seats in the room, so the two of them sat down too.

The other juniors looked at each other and did not dare to sit. Moreover, there were no seats left.

‘Stand, then.’

Everyone’s eyes fell on First Elder and Third Elder.

Second Elder sneered. “How strange. Did the Patriarch ask you to steal from his pharmacy? It’s fine if you’re shameless, but don’t you think it’s ridiculous to say he set you up?”
