186: Invitation to visit

"Prince, what is it?"

Seeing Nangong Yu suddenly stop, Qin Wuhui was slightly startled and became a few degrees more vigilant.

But he probed with his Divine Thought, yet still found nothing in the vicinity, so he couldn't help but ask.

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly and smiled: "It seems the newcomer's concealment technique is quite good, as even a Cultivator in the Spirit Venerable Realm like you didn't notice!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wuhui's expression shifted slightly, and he became even more vigilant.

Yet Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, "No need to be nervous, the person arriving is a friend, not an enemy!"

After speaking, he looked into the distance and said softly: "Since Fellow Daoist Bai has arrived, why not reveal yourself?"

As his voice fell, a streak of light suddenly appeared in the distance, flying over rapidly, and soon landed in front of Nangong Yu and the other person.

As the light faded, a beautiful woman dressed in white appeared before them.

She said in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Shangguan is truly extraordinary, to be able to detect my presence so easily."

Nangong Yu smiled slightly and said: "I already know the purpose of Fellow Daoist Bai's visit. Wanling is currently fine and is still undergoing the Seven Emotions Trial to temper her Heart-Nature!"

Correct!

The person who arrived was none other than Bai Qiqi!

Before entering the northern region of Clear Serenity, Nangong Yu had already sensed that she was following him, so it was no surprise to Nangong Yu that she would find this place.

"What? She is truly still in the Seven Emotions Secret Realm? But hasn't the Secret Realm already closed?"

Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Bai Qiqi's expression changed in shock, and she spoke with an unsightly complexion.

Yet Nangong Yu shook his head and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, don't worry. Just because she is still undergoing the Seven Emotions Trial does not mean she is still in the Seven Emotions Secret Realm."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Qiqi frowned, somewhat confused by Nangong Yu's words, not understanding the meaning.

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, not hiding anything. He flipped his palm, and the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda appeared in his hand.

Immediately, he smiled: "I will not hide it from Fellow Daoist Bai. I passed the Seven Emotions Trial and obtained this treasure. Wanling is currently still inside continuing the Seven Emotions Trial!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiqi's expression brightened: "Is Fellow Daoist Shangguan speaking the truth?"

Nangong Yu nodded slightly, waved his hand, and Bai Wanling appeared before the three of them.

"Wanling!"

Seeing Bai Wanling, Bai Qiqi's face lit up with joy, but she quickly realized something was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, Wanling she..."

Bai Qiqi looked at Nangong Yu with a look of shock and suspicion, her eyes filled with confusion.

Nangong Yu smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Bai, no need to worry. Wanling is still undergoing the Seven Emotions Trial, so I didn't interrupt her and simply let her continue."

"Furthermore, I control this treasure, so I can control the difficulty of the Seven Emotions Trial very well. I can ensure that both she and my four subordinates complete the Seven Emotions Trial to temper their Heart-Nature, while also minimizing any harm to them as much as possible!"

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Bai should also know about the Seven Emotions Trial. After passing it, a few days of mental instability are unavoidable. If Fellow Daoist Bai does not intend for Wanling to continue, I can wake her up right now!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi hesitated for a moment, but then quickly shook her head: "No need, I trust Fellow Daoist Shangguan!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, then waved his hand again to put Bai Wanling back into the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda, and retracted the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda.

Subsequently, he looked up and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Bai, it is rare for you to come to Qingyou Imperial City. Why not go to my residence, let me fulfill the duties of a host, and perhaps wait for Wanling to finish her Seven Emotions Trial?"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi was somewhat moved, but asked: "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, you probably aren't called Shangguan Sichen, right? Will you not tell me your real name?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu smiled: "When traveling away from home, one always uses an alias. I hope Fellow Daoist Bai will not blame me!"

Bai Qiqi nodded slightly, understanding somewhat in her heart. She asked curiously: "Then, I wonder if I have the honor of knowing Fellow Daoist's real name now?"

"Of course!"

Nangong Yu nodded slightly and smiled: "This matter is my fault. Actually, when we parted ways before, I should have told you, but I forgot for a moment."

Bai Qiqi heard this but remained noncommittal, simply waiting quietly for Nangong Yu's follow-up.

Yet Nangong Yu smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and continued: "Fellow Daoist Bai, let me reintroduce myself. I am Nangong Yu, courtesy name Si Chen. My mother's surname is Shangguan, so I used the alias Shangguan Sichen!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiqi blinked slightly, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly; so he really could be called Shangguan Sichen!

She sighed inwardly, but on the surface, she didn't think much of it and quickly cupped her hands: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nangong!"

Nangong Yu smiled and gestured with his hand: "Fellow Daoist Bai, I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to visit my residence?"

Bai Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "I would be honored to accept. Please, Fellow Daoist Nangong!"

To be honest, Nangong Yu's words were exactly what she wanted. Before confirming that Bai Wanling was fine, she would not return.

Rather than staying in Qingyou Imperial City alone, it was better to follow Nangong Yu for the time being and learn more about this young man!

After all, the Inner Demon Tribulation or perhaps the love fate of her silly daughter seemed to have fallen upon Nangong Yu. As her mother, she had to check him out!

Furthermore, as a member of the Yao Race, staying alone in Qingyou Imperial City might not be appropriate.

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, extended his hand, and said: "Please, Fellow Daoist Bai!"

Both of them smiled and walked forward together.

Qin Wuhui followed closely behind, trailing right after Nangong Yu, truly treating himself as a guard.

...

Prince of Zhenbeis Residence.

Before the main gate, Ye Jingling and her group had already been waiting outside the residence for a long time.

"The news from the palace says that Your Majesty's welcome banquet has already ended. Given the Prince's flying speed, why haven't they returned yet?"

Nangong De frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

Ye Jingling glanced at him, her expression slightly cold: "Just wait properly. Or are you saying that Head Guard Nangong cannot afford to wait?"

"How could that be?" Nangong De quickly shook his head and waved his hands with a smile: "Head Steward, this subordinate can wait for the Prince for as long as it takes. Please do not dig a pit for me!"

His talent was not good, only High Grade, but having received the resources of the residence, he had now stepped into the Middle Stage of the Calamity Destruction Realm.

But compared to Ye Jingling's Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm, he was still far behind, so his attitude towards her was considered quite respectful.

In this world, the principle that the strong are respected is an eternal truth. If one violates this principle, they would likely die without even knowing how they died.

Furthermore, as a guard of the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence, he would not accept those words from Ye Jingling!

Waiting for the Prince to return is only natural; what does it mean that he cannot afford to wait?

Ye Jingling smiled slightly and did not continue to talk to him, but instead looked into the distance.

To be precise, she was looking in the direction of the imperial palace!

Just at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, her expression shifted slightly, and she said softly: "It seems they have arrived!"
