"The Nangong Family tried to persuade Nangong Xiu, saying things like 'let go, don't be stubbornly misguided.'"
"What did Nangong Xiu say then?"
"Nangong Xiu was very calm and simply said, 'I will certainly not give up that easily.' After that, he opened the door to his study, walked out, and luckily, our spy acted quickly — otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hear even this bit of news."
Feng Xuxu shook her head with a slight smile. That spy really had good luck. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't Nangong Xiu have detected someone outside the door with his martial arts skills? And would he have given that spy a chance to escape? That would be strange.
Dugu Chen took her hand and pulled her back to sit down, asking, "Then how did you start to suspect Nangong Xiu?"
