In the garden, Nangong Lingya sat in the pavilion, quietly appreciating a thick ancient tome in her hands.
A servant hurriedly burst in, shattering the momentary tranquility.
"Miss, something terrible has happened; there has been a major incident at the residence!"
"What major incident? You see that I am concentrated on reading, don't you?"
Nangong Lingya placed the book on the table, stood up, and looked at the servant.
"The Chief Caretaker has just died, killed at the Ten Thousand Cranes Tower; someone murdered him!"
"The murderer claims to be Lu Chuan, and he has declared a challenge to our Nangong family!"
The servant said anxiously. This incident was indeed a significant event for him, and also a crucial matter for the entire Nangong family.
Upon hearing these words, Nangong Lingya's expression immediately turned rigid, her anger rising within her, causing her to clench her fists and grit her teeth.
