...
Regarding Tang Yuehua's Family affairs, Luo Nan did not actually know them in great detail.
He only knew that Tang Yuehua came from the Clear Sky Sect and was the younger sister of Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
As for the relatives on her mother's side, Tang Yuehua rarely mentioned them.
However, looking at how frightened the old man was, he probably wouldn't dare lie about such a matter.
After all, as long as Luo Nan went back and asked Tang Yuehua, the lie would be exposed immediately.
Once caught lying, it went without saying what the outcome would be.
Thinking of this, Luo Nan let out a cold snort and casually tossed Bai He onto the ground.
"Bang!"
Bai He crashed to the ground, and ignoring the pain on his body, he hurriedly scrambled up, taking huge gulps of fresh air, his gaze looking at Luo Nan filled with awe and lingering fear.
"Since you are Yuehua's uncle, I will spare your life for today."
Luo Nan's tone remained cold.
"However, I hate it most when people beat around the bush."
"Speak, what on earth is your purpose in risking your life to track me?"
"Don't try to fool me with ghost stories like just chasing after me to take a look."
Stared at by Luo Nan's sharp gaze, Bai He felt as though his entire body had been seen through.
He gave a bitter smile, his originally straight spine also hunching over, making him appear incomparably desolate and bleak.
"Luo Nan... No, Your Excellency."
Bai He changed his form of address, his tone filled with bitterness.
"I tracked you because I indeed have a favor to ask. Moreover, it is a major matter concerning the lives and livelihoods of several hundred people in my Speed Clan."
Luo Nan did not speak, just quietly watching him, signaling for him to continue.
Bai He sighed, a trace of helplessness flashing through his eyes:
"Back then, Spirit Hall coerced the Clear Sky Sect, and in order to protect itself, the Clear Sky Sect announced the closure of its mountain gates and its retirement from the Spirit Master's world."
"However, they heartlessly abandoned us four affiliated Sects, leaving us to Face the anger and suppression of Spirit Hall alone!"
"Our Speed Clan's Spirit is the Needle Tailed Swift, putting all our talent into speed with absolutely no offensive power whatsoever."
"After losing the protection of the Clear Sky Sect, we not only had to deal with the wrath of Spirit Hall, but also faced a crisis of survival."
Bai He's voice trembled slightly, his eye sockets brimming with tears:
"Over these years, our Speed Clan has had an increasingly difficult time."
"We don't know how to forge, we don't know how to refine medicine, and even less do we know how to construct buildings."
"Aside from gathering intelligence and delivering messages, we have absolutely no means of making a living."
"However, among those large Sects and major powers, who would spend a large sum of money to hire us?"
"Nowadays, the Family's savings have long been spent seven or eight-tenths over, and the clansmen can't even eat a single full meal..."
"It won't be long before we sit and eat through all our mountains of wealth!"
Speaking of this, this Spirit Douluo, who was once considered a strong expert in his own right, actually plopped down on his knees right in front of Luo Nan.
"Your Excellency, I truly have no other way!"
"I heard that Yuehua established the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City, deeply respected by the nobles, and moreover... moreover, she married an peerless expert like you."
"This time, I brazenly chased after you just to try and see if I could contact Yuehua through you."
Bai He raised his head, looking at Luo Nan with tears streaming down his old Face:
"I ask for nothing else, only that Yuehua can consider the sentiment of me being her uncle, and for the sake of her mother, provide a little support to the Speed Clan..."
"Even if it's just some leftover scraps, as long as it allows the clansmen to survive, I, Bai He, am willing to be a beast of burden for you, and the Speed Clan is willing to pledge allegiance to you from generation to generation!"
Hearing Bai He's tearful and sorrowful plea, Luo Nan's brows tightly knitted together.
"After making such a fuss for half a day, he's here to ask for money?"
A trace of aversion subconsciously arose in Luo Nan's heart.
He hated most people who used the banner of relatives to come and extort things.
Why should Yuehua clean up the messy situation of the Clear Sky Sect?
Furthermore, when the Clear Sky Sect sent Tang Hu over to ask for money some time ago, Luo Nan not killing him was already giving him Face.
Now another one comes to ask for money, it would be strange if Luo Nan gave him a good expression!
Luo Nan was just about to open his mouth to drive this old beggar away, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.
He carefully observed Bai He kneeling on the ground.
Although this old man was impoverished and was asking for money, his attitude was very sincere, and could even be said to be humble.
He didn't pull rank just because he was Tang Yuehua's uncle, nor did he put on the airs of an elder to engage in moral kidnapping.
Instead, he was genuinely kneeling and pleading for the Family's survival.
"This old man can also be considered a real man who can endure hardships for the Family." Luo Nan secretly evaluated in his heart.
More importantly, Luo Nan thought of Tang Yuehua.
Although Yuehua appeared indifferent to the matters of the Clear Sky Sect on the surface, Luo Nan knew that deep down inside, she was actually a woman who valued emotions very much.
If he drove her biological uncle away like chasing a dog today, in case Yuehua found out later, she would certainly feel bad inside.
Yuehua was pregnant now, and Luo Nan absolutely would not allow anything to affect her mood.
Furthermore, Old Bai's attitude was much better than that little bastard Tang Hu's attitude.
With such a good attitude, Luo Nan felt it was still best to take Old Bai back to see Tang Yuehua.
As long as Tang Yuehua showed the slightest bit of displeasure, Luo Nan wouldn't mind letting this Old Bai leave the exact same way he came.
"Alright, get up. At your age, crying and howling while kneeling on the ground, what kind of look is that." Luo Nan spoke coldly, though his tone remained stiff.
Hearing this, Bai He was overjoyed, quickly wiping away his tears and standing up, looking at Luo Nan apprehensively.
"Money, my Moon Pavilion has plenty of it."
"Not to mention supporting the several hundred people of your Speed Clan, even supporting tens of thousands of people would just be a drop in the bucket."
Luo Nan looked at Bai He and said indifferently.
Bai He's eyes instantly lit up, and his breathing became rapid.
"However," Luo Nan changed the subject, "Moon Pavilion's money never supports useless people. As for whether to help you and how to help you, it's not up to me to decide."
Luo Nan turned around, turning his back to Bai He, and coldly tossed down a sentence:
"Come with me. I will take you back to Heaven Dou City to see Yuehua."
"As for whether she is willing to acknowledge you as her uncle, and whether she is willing to give your Speed Clan a way out, that depends on your own good fortune."
Having said that, Luo Nan paid Bai He no more mind and walked straight in the direction of Heaven Dou City.
Bai He stayed stunned in place, taking a full several seconds to react.
Trembling all over with excitement, he quickly bowed deeply toward Luo Nan's back.
"Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Bai He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, quickly picked up his pace, and like an obedient old servant, closely followed behind Luo Nan.
Although the road ahead was uncertain, at least the Speed Clan finally saw a glimmer of dawn for survival.
