Chapter 180 Visiting the Nanxuan Family (1)
"Son, they've already left. Weiwei wants to go, but Mr. Nan is in a hurry to leave. Mom can't keep them here!"
"Mom, don't blame yourself. I have a way to find her."
The two people who went out first went to a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, changed cars and went out from the side door. After driving for half an hour, they arrived outside an antique house. Nan Xuanwei saw that there was a formation here. It was not of a high level, but it could still stop ordinary people.
She waved her hand lightly and walked into the yard without even pausing. Nan Yi almost shed tears of envy. This generation of the Nan Xuan family had average aptitude in metaphysics. The eldest and second brothers had been busy with this formation for several days, but Weiwei didn't take it seriously.
Is this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?
When they walked into the hall, a man who looked like a butler brought a blindfold and tried to put it on Nan Xuanwei, but she slapped it away: "Why did you bring me here when you are so wary of me?"
"Miss, this is the rule for visiting the Nanxuan Family's residence."
"Is everyone going to comply? Is he wearing a blindfold too?" Nan Xuanwei pointed at Nan Yi.
"Of course not, Fourth Master."
Nan Xuanwei almost rolled her eyes. She didn't care that the Nan Xuan family treated her as an outsider and wanted to show off their power as soon as they entered the door, but she refused to accept it.
"Uncle Yu, this is my sister's child. She doesn't need to wear an eye patch. I will take care of anything that happens."
"Yes!"
Uncle Yu took them to the backyard, opened the secret door and walked into a long corridor. After passing several stone doors, they came to a round platform with several chairs on it. Nan Yi pulled Nan Xuanwei to sit down casually.
"Is this a portal?" I didn't expect that Nan Xuan's family had such a treasure!
After she sat on the platform and started it, she realized that this portal was almost outdated. It was not much faster than an ox cart and would freeze every once in a while. Nan Xuanwei laughed out loud: "My uncle, don't you have a second way? This portal won't stop halfway!"
"This portal has probably existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years. The spiritual power of the spirit stone has been exhausted. Now it can only be maintained by the teleportation talismans drawn with the blood of the Nanxuan family and cinnabar. Each activation requires fifty teleportation talismans." These talismans take several days to draw by the eldest and second brothers, and they spend at least one-third of each month drawing teleportation talismans.
Nan Xuanwei was able to sit still at first, but after half an hour she was moving her chin up and down like a chick pecking at rice. Later she simply lay on the table, and soon she could hear her shallow breathing. Nan Yi took off his suit and covered her with it, then took out the script to study it.
"Weiwei, wake up, we're home!"
Have we finally arrived? Nan Xuanwei stood up and stretched: "Uncle, don't put chairs and tables here anymore. Put a bed here. It will be more comfortable to lie down."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this portal is a bit shabby. Among the several hidden families, only the Nanxuan family can still operate it. Although the speed is a bit slow, it is absolutely hidden. No matter whether it is radar or advanced electronic reconnaissance equipment, it cannot track its location."
I guess this is the only advantage left!
Nan Yi led her into a grove and after turning several corners, they finally arrived in front of a courtyard. On the plaque above the gate were written four large and vigorous characters "Nanxuan Family".
"Fourth Brother, why did you bring her here like this? What if she remembers the route and leads outsiders here in the future?" The speaker was Nan Xuan'an, whom Nan Xuanwei had met at the auction.
"Second brother, Weiwei is also from the Nanxuan family, and this is her home too!" Strictly speaking, the person who is most qualified to give orders in this family is Nan Xuanwei. She is Nan Xuanyue's only child and the rightful heir to the family.
"Okay, let someone in!"
Nan Xuanwei also recognized this voice. It was her uncle Nan Xuanqi. The voice came from the living room and sounded... weak inside.
Nan Yi walked past Nan Xuan'an, holding Nan Xuanwei's hand and walked into the living room.
"Grandpa, uncle." She didn't know the others, but she had to say hello to the old man. Nan Xuanqi was just a passing mention, so she had to wait for Nan Yi to introduce others.
"This is Weiwei, she's so pretty!" Nan Xuanqi's wife Ling Manyun enthusiastically held Nan Xuanwei's hand and looked at her face closely. She felt more and more jealous. There was no flaw on the girl's face. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful, and her eyes were as pure as mountain spring water. No wonder she made Wen Ying Yu Tu so obsessed with her.
Nan Xuanwei withdrew her hand and moved to Nan Yi. She didn't like close contact with strangers.
"Weiwei, come to grandpa." Nan Xuanzhan waved to his granddaughter. Nan Xuanwei walked over somewhat stiffly. The old man introduced his family members one by one. He had three sons, one daughter, five grandchildren, and Nan Xuanwei, his granddaughter.
"At the family dinner tonight, we will only talk about private matters and not anything else. No one is allowed to ruin the atmosphere." Nan Xuanzhan swept a warning look over Nan Xuanqi and Nan Xuanan.
The two brothers reluctantly replied: "We listen to Dad."
During the meal, Nan Xuanwei sat between the old man and Nan Yi. Nan Yi knew what she liked to eat.
"Uncle, you are biased. You have never picked any food for me." The speaker was Nan Xuanfeng, the daughter of Nan Xuan'an. Before Nan Xuanwei came back, she was the only girl in the family and was spoiled. In order to make her make a breakthrough in metaphysics, the family spent money and resources to send her out to study. After more than ten years, she can finally draw a complete amulet with one stroke and is qualified to participate in the arrangement of simple formations.
"You have parents and grandpa and uncle who love you, and Weiwei has been living alone outside since she was a child. Even if I love her more, it's reasonable, isn't it?"
Nan Xuanfeng was so angry that she couldn't say a word. Nan Xuanan's wife Zhang Ying pulled her daughter's sleeve and shook her head to signal her not to target Nan Xuanwei. At this moment, it was not only them who were dissatisfied with Nan Xuanwei in the dining room. The old lady was even more wary of her.
"I heard that Weiwei grew up in a Taoist temple, is that right? What kind of mountain medicine, fortune-telling and physiognomy is Weiwei good at?" Zhang Ying wanted to find out Nan Xuanwei's background.
Nan Xuanwei tilted her head and thought for a while. She felt that mountain medicine and fortune telling should have reached the standard that a normal Taoist priest should have. Her fortune telling skills were so-so and divination was the worst thing she had learned because she was impatient with setting up formations and found it too boring. However, she liked to break formations and so far she had not encountered a formation that she could not break!
"Weiwei, can you draw talismans? Can you draw a complete amulet in one breath?" Nan Xuanyue said with a hint of boasting in her tone.
Nan Xuanwei, who was drinking soup, dropped her spoon into the bowl with a "click": Isn't it the most basic requirement to draw a talisman in one breath? Is it worth showing off? She tried to think about it. Was she able to draw a talisman in one breath when she was four or five years old? It was too long ago and she really couldn't remember.
Seeing her astonished expression, Nan Xuanfeng became even more proud. She was indeed a genius in metaphysics. The next person to sit on the throne of the head of the Nan Xuan family should be her, and it must be her!
