99: Is there a way?

Qingyou Imperial City, the Song Family.

As the maternal Family of Consort Shu, one of the only two consorts of Nangong Aotian, the Song Family held some influence in the Qingyou imperial court.

Consort Shu's father, Song Que, was the current head of the Ministry of Works, undeniably the number one person in the Ministry of Works!

Consort Shu's eldest brother, Song Jiang, was a deputy general of the Western Defense Army, commanding thirty thousand Spirit Absorption Realm soldiers!

Consort Shu's second brother, Song Ning, although just a merchant, had significant influence in the Qingyou business world!

Moreover, the Song Family was a Cultivator Family; almost everyone had a Spiritual Root, even the women who married into the Family.

Under such circumstances, they naturally produced many experts; they had two Old Ancestors in the Spirit Venerable Realm alone!

And there were no fewer than ten in the Calamity Destruction Realm and even the Divine Combination Realm.

At this moment, in the Song Family.

Song Ning was about to go out when he suddenly sensed something and took out a communication jade slip.

After seeing the content, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

A smile curled at the corners of his mouth. "Not bad, this is quite interesting. Since this is the first time you have asked your Second Maternal Uncle for help, your Second Maternal Uncle will naturally have to help you."

He chuckled softly and stepped out of the Song Family residence.

...

Qingyou Imperial Palace.

Nangong Aotian sat alone in the Imperial Garden, his expression somewhat complex, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, Eunuch Yan walked over quickly, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Nangong Aotian raised his eyes. "Speak, what is it?"

Eunuch Yan bowed slightly. "Reporting to Your Majesty, a message just came from the Supervision Office saying that the Second Prince sent a message using a communication jade slip. We don't know what the content is, nor do we know who it was sent to."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Aotian's expression changed slightly.

"You may withdraw first. Have them continue to monitor it and report immediately if there is anything unusual."

"Understood!"

Eunuch Yan nodded and retreated to a distance.

Nangong Aotian's gaze was deep. "I hope it is not what I think, otherwise, there might be trouble!"

He sighed softly and didn't say anything more, just quietly looking at the scenery before him.

He had already taken the necessary precautions; it was impossible to send two Spirit Venerable Realm retainers to protect Nangong Yu and the others just because of a guess, right?

Furthermore, Nangong Yu and the others were currently at the Supervision Office and would not be in trouble for the time being.

As for the evening, with Shangguan Yuexi and Aunt Shen, two Spirit Venerable Realm experts, guarding them, Nangong Yu and the others should be fine.

...

Supervision Office.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Xingmeng also stopped trying to Cultivate the Cultivation Technique.

But her expression at this moment was somewhat dejected, only because after such a long time, she still hadn't been able to find a suitable Cultivation Technique for herself.

She shook her head slightly, took a deep breath, and walked over, saying: "Little Prince, I see that it is getting late. How about we head back first?"

Nangong Yu closed the book and raised his eyes slightly. "Sister Xingmeng, did you find any suitable ones?"

Hearing this question, Nangong Ruoxue and Qing Ling also raised their heads slightly and looked at Su Xingmeng.

Su Xingmeng shook her head slightly. "Thank you for your concern, Little Prince and Your Highness, but I haven't found one yet."

"It's fine, coming back tomorrow is also fine!"

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Since Sister Xingmeng has a Spiritual Root, you will definitely find a suitable Cultivation Technique one day."

"Then I will take your kind words, Little Prince!" Su Xingmeng smiled slightly, but she couldn't help feeling dejected inside.

The group walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Nangong Ruoxue glanced at the sky. "It is now the fifth quarter of the You hour. Under normal circumstances, the gates of the Supervision Office open at the fourth quarter of the You hour, allowing students to leave."

"Today's combat teaching requires quite some time; it usually lasts until around the fourth quarter of the Xu hour before it ends, and only then can the students leave."

"Of course, those under the age of six who need their elders to pick them up can leave early!"

Nangong Ruoxue said this, then turned to look at Nangong Yu. "Yuer, you can contact Second Imperial Aunt. I don't know if she has arrived yet?"

"No need!"

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, looked at the others, and smiled. "Eldest Imperial Sister, let's go directly to the main gate and wait. I have a faint feeling that Mother will be waiting for me there."

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue was slightly stunned, but she also smiled. "Alright, then let's go there first!"

The group walked outwards, and before long, they arrived at the main gate of the Supervision Office.

At this moment, Nangong Yu's expression froze slightly, as if he had seen something he didn't want to see.

The others followed his gaze and couldn't help but frown.

They saw Nangong Jinglin standing in the distance, looking at them with a cold gaze.

And what made them feel surprised and suspicious was that they actually saw a strange look in Nangong Jinglin's eyes, which seemed to be a kind of...

A look at a dead person!

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but frown, feeling faintly that something was wrong.

At this moment, Su Xingmeng's heart was pounding wildly; she had a feeling that she was about to face death.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment and then disappeared completely.

Moreover, she had a faint feeling in her heart that the disappearance of this feeling of facing death seemed to be related to the person beside her. This feeling was somewhat inexplicable, yet it truly existed!

Su Xingmeng took a deep breath, glanced slightly at Nangong Yu beside her, and her mind was filled with many thoughts.

At this time, Nangong Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Eldest Imperial Sister, Sister Xingmeng, I see Mother and the others. Let's go over first!"

The group turned to look outside the Supervision Office and saw Shangguan Yuexi and Aunt Shen already waiting outside.

Seeing this, Nangong Ruoxue also smiled slightly. "Let's go over first!"

"Alright!"

The group nodded and walked over together.

"Mother!"

Nangong Yu walked out of the Supervision Office, ran over quickly, and threw himself into Shangguan Yuexi's arms.

Shangguan Yuexi caught him and smiled. "Yuer, how do you feel today?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu frowned slightly, glanced at Nangong Jinglin in the distance, and said: "Not very good, I met someone I didn't want to see."

Shangguan Yuexi followed his gaze and also saw Nangong Jinglin, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Did something happen?"

Nangong Ruoxue stepped forward two steps and said softly: "Ruo Xue pays respects to Second Imperial Aunt. Let me tell you about this matter."

"Oh?" Shangguan Yuexi looked at her in surprise and smiled. "Then Ruo Xue, you must tell me properly!"

Nangong Ruoxue nodded. "Second Imperial Aunt, let's talk as we walk."

"Alright!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded, and the group walked towards the West Xuan Gate.

On the way, Nangong Ruoxue recounted what happened on the martial arts practice platform and finally said: "Although Yuer won the argument, it is also true that his good mood was ruined."

After listening to Nangong Ruoxue's account, Shangguan Yuexi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. "Nangong Jinglin's character is indeed not very good. Now that he has been pointed out by Yuer, and even had those words said to him, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy with anger!"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yuexi couldn't help but reach out and pick up Nangong Yu, smiling. "Not bad, worthy of being my son; this skill of not sparing others with your tongue is truly excellent!"

"Mother!"

Nangong Yu rolled his eyes, seemingly dissatisfied with her reaction of watching the fun.
