After listening to Nana's account, Liu Xing and the others exchanged glances, at a loss for words.
If it had been anything else, they might have been able to help. But this was Nana's family matter, and there was nothing they could do.
All they could do was comfort Nana and tell her not to overthink it.
When he returned home that evening, Liu Xing told Luan Yu about it over dinner. He had always felt that Nana's family situation was somewhat strange. The key to the matter was likely that group of strangers who had gone to Nana's home and taken her mother away.
Liu Xing even guessed that Nana's mother had been some young lady from a great family who ran away from home, met Nana's father, and ended up marrying him after some melodramatic hero-saves-the-beauty scenario.
Those strangers had probably been Nana's maternal relatives. Yet Nana's mother had not been taken away permanently and could still return home. Moreover, the rate at which her cultivation had improved was abnormal. Nana's father clearly knew something, but he would not tell Nana.
Liu Xing and the others could not act rashly either. What if they made things worse? After all, this was Nana's family matter, and it was not their place to interfere.
So Liu Xing hoped Luan Yu could use her connections to investigate a little. Privately looking into a classmate's family was somewhat... well, questionable, but Liu Xing was not that rigid. After all, his intention was to help Nana.
A bright moon hung high in the sky. Atop a pavilion in Mingdu's central district, Gu Yuena looked up at the stars. Behind her stood a tall man dressed in black, with black hair and golden eyes, as well as a beautiful woman in a green dress
