Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 65: A Confused Ruan Nanzhu

"Oh?"

Chen Zhixing's gaze swept over the faces of Ruan Zhenlong and Ruan Nantian, noticing their troubled expressions. He immediately understood a bit of the situation.

It seemed that Ruan Nanzhu was probably not too welcoming toward him.

"Third Young Master, my younger sister is shy and doesn't like to show herself in public. She's waiting at home right now. No need to worry," Ruan Nantian quickly put on a smile.

"Third Young Master, please come. The mansion has already prepared fine wine and delicacies, just waiting for your presence."

After speaking, Ruan Nantian instructed someone to lead the way.

"Is that so."

Chen Zhixing responded with a noncommittal smile and didn't ask further, following the Ruan family members towards the Ruan residence.

As for Ruan Nanzhu, he didn't care much.

She was just the main female character of a storyline, nothing significant.

However, Ruan Nanzhu's attitude made him feel somewhat intrigued.

Perhaps all of this was related to that fated protagonist?

At the back of the crowd, Ruan Zhenlong's expression darkened as he coldly addressed the family elders, "I don't care what method you use, but before the Third Young Master returns to the mansion, I want to see that girl Nanzhu at the entrance to welcome him!"

After finishing, Ruan Zhenlong flung his sleeve, snorted coldly, and walked off.

Seeing this, Ruan Nantian could only shake his head with a bitter smile, saying, "The Third Young Master is crucial to the family's future. My sister went a bit too far this time."

The Ruan family elders exchanged glances before quietly dispersing.

Chen Zhixing noticed this out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but smile slightly.

These Ruan family members were indeed clever.

Meanwhile, within Wuxuan City, by the Wushui River.

Willows swayed gently, with their branches gracefully drooping.

Two people were walking side by side.

On the left was an absolutely beautiful young woman in her prime, wearing a purple dress cinched at the waist, accentuating her well-proportioned curves.

Her delicate oval face was as fair as jade, with bright eyes and white teeth. There was a hint of spirit in her eyes and brows, a straight nose, red lips, and a fragrance like orchids.

Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, smooth and shiny.

Anyone who saw her would exclaim how such a beauty could exist in the world.

On her right walked a young man whose appearance was somewhat inferior. He couldn't be called handsome, but neither was he ugly—just plain and unremarkable.

"Lin Feng, why did you call me out? What's the matter?" Ruan Nanzhu frowned slightly, a bit reproachful.

Today was a significant day for her family. The Third Young Master of the Chen family of Ziwei, was about to arrive at the Ruan family.

Whether the Ruan family could reestablish contact with the Chen family and build a connection again depended on today.

If handled well, the Ruan family might soar to new heights, and the group from Xuanyin Mountain, who had troubled the Ruan family for so long, would be nothing more than a minor nuisance, easily dealt with.

Yet, at this critical moment, Lin Feng had called her out, claiming there was something important to discuss.

"Nanzhu, are you really going to meet that so-called Third Young Master from the Chen family?"

Lin Feng walked with his hands behind his back, smiling disdainfully, "The Ziwei Chen family has long since fallen. They don't even have anyone in the Changsheng Realm. Do they still deserve to be called a Immortal Clan? That Third Young Master—I looked into him—is just a wastrel who relies on his family's reputation, spending his days idling away. What is he worth?"

"Give me time. Not only that Third Young Master, but even the entire Ziwei Chen family—I could easily overturn them!"

Hearing this, Ruan Nanzhu opened her mouth, wanting to say that no matter how much the Ziwei Chen family had declined, it wasn't Lin Feng's place to judge.

But the words stuck in her throat, and she swallowed them back down.

Lin Feng might come from humble beginnings, but he had a proud spirit and valued his dignity above all. Saying such things would undoubtedly hurt him.

"Yes, I believe in your potential. I always have."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled at Lin Feng, then softly said, "But that's a matter for the future. Lin Feng, why did you call me out? If it's nothing urgent, I should head back. I don't want the Third Young Master to think our Ruan family is lacking in manners."

After saying this, Ruan Nanzhu turned to leave.

"Nanzhu!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and called out in a low voice, "Can't you see? Your father wants to use you as a tool to climb up the Chen family!"

Ruan Nanzhu paused but didn't turn back.

Lin Feng's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly pressed on, "Nanzhu, if you go back now, you're walking into a trap, don't you see? That Third Young Master is worthless. His father, Chen Tianliang, is notorious in the cultivation world for his crimes! Do you really want to resign yourself to fate and hand your life over to such a scoundrel?"

Ruan Nanzhu remained silent.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, quickly stepping forward with a face full of deep affection, "Nanzhu, give me time. I'll show you that the Ziwei Chen family and the Third Young Master are nothing but passing clouds!"

As he finished speaking, he intended to seize the opportunity to hold Ruan Nanzhu's hand for the first time.

However, before he could touch her hand...

"Lin Feng, it's enough to say these things to me once. I won't hold it against you this time, but don't mention it again!"

"My family has spent so much on cultivating me, so even if they ask me to sacrifice myself, I... I can't refuse!"

Ruan Nanzhu's lips trembled as she uttered these last words. It was as if she had lost something, her beautiful eyes reddening as she quickly walked away.

"Nanzhu!!"

Lin Feng stared at Ruan Nanzhu's departing figure, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood, though he didn't notice.

"Nanzhu, don't worry. I won't just stand by and watch you jump into the fire!"

Lin Feng swore in his heart, his face filled with determination.

Today, even if he had to reveal his trump card, he would keep Ruan Nanzhu from leaving!

That's right!

He had a big secret!

This secret was the source of his confidence, the reason he was unafraid of the Third Young Master or the Ziwei Chen family, and the basis for his belief that his future would be limitless!

As Ruan Nanzhu walked back to the family, lost in thought, she encountered a family elder searching for her at the entrance.

"My dear lady, you're finally back!"

The elder sighed in relief upon seeing her and quickly said, "Come, come, join me at the entrance to welcome the Third Young Master."

"Alright." Ruan Nanzhu nodded absentmindedly.

But her distraction wasn't due to Lin Feng.

Although she admired Lin Feng, their relationship wasn't deep enough to affect her emotions.

Instead, she was more confused about her own fate.

"I've read in novels and biographies that the sons of wealthy families are often described as fat, greasy, arrogant, and ill-tempered. This Third Young Master is probably no different..."

As Ruan Nanzhu's mind was in turmoil, the elder beside her suddenly brightened up, exclaiming with joy:

"The Third Young Master is here!"

Ruan Nanzhu couldn't help but look up, forcing a smile as she looked ahead.
