188: Nangong Yan's embarrassment

Within the Beichen Family.

Beichen Lintian, who was meditating and cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes.

Her noble golden hair danced in the wind, and a look of confusion appeared in her cold, noble double pupils.

Just now, she had actually felt a ripple of power very close to her Human Emperor’s power.

Was it an illusion?

Beichen Lintian looked at the long, water-blue skirted woman beside her and asked,

“Master, just now, I seemed to have felt a power fluctuation very close to the Human Emperor’s aura within my body…”

Not far away, the stunning woman in the long, water-blue dress also opened her eyes.

Facing Beichen Lintian’s question, her eyes showed no ripple, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with her.

She did not speak, but her clear, cold voice still reached Beichen Lintian’s ears.

“That’s right, I had already sensed it earlier; a strong Human Emperor fluctuation erupted in the direction of the Xiao Family.”

Hearing the blue-skirted woman’s words, Beichen Lintian’s brows furrowed slightly.

The direction of the Xiao Family, the fluctuation of the Human Emperor’s aura…

What the Xiao Family had said several years ago was actually true.

There was indeed a Human Emperor within that Xiao Family as well.

However, as she pondered, the woman’s voice beside her rang out again.

“Lintian, when that aura first erupted, I had already comprehended it. Although that aura is strong, compared to your Human Emperor’s inheritance, it is far inferior…”

“When two Emperors meet, the stronger one becomes the Emperor, the weaker one either submits and kneels…”

“Or dies…”

“You just need to cultivate in peace. That Human Emperor of the Xiao Family is merely a stepping stone on your path to growth…”

Hearing the words of the water-blue skirted woman, Beichen Lintian finally nodded.

Her eyes were bright and her gaze firm, not showing the slightest fluctuation due to sensing another Human Emperor’s aura…

Because she had her pride; her goal was far beyond the Beichen Family, and even far beyond the Ancient Domain…

However, neither of the two women had expected that a Human Emperor, who was difficult to appear even once in hundreds of thousands of years, would appear three times simultaneously within one domain.

And the Human Emperor fluctuation they felt was not Mu Wuchen’s, but Chu Qing’s.

Or rather, the one erupted by the Nineteenth Human Emperor Taia before his death…

Within the Nangong Family.

By this time, a considerable amount of time had passed since Nangong Hao and Southern Palace Yan visited the Beichen Family and the Xiao Family, and both Nangong Hao and Southern Palace Yan had returned one after another.

At the same time, both of them brought back the information they had gathered.

In the main hall of the Nangong Family Patriarch, there were only three figures.

Nangong Zhan sat high in the main seat, looking at the man and woman below.

“Father!”

“Father!”

Both Nangong Hao and Southern Palace Yan knelt on one knee, respectfully saluting their father.

Seeing the two below, Nangong Zhan nodded slightly, waved his hand towards them, and spoke indifferently.

“Both of you, rise. This time it’s a family matter, so there’s no need to mind these formalities.”

Having received Nangong Zhan’s approval, the two then rose and sat to the side.

“Your trip to the Beichen Family and the Xiao Family this time yielded very important gains, not shaming the prestige of my Nangong Family. But today, the time has come to make a choice…”

Hearing Nangong Zhan’s words, both Southern Palace Yan and Nangong Hao below straightened up a bit, looking up with solemn expressions.

“Hao’er, you speak first, and let Yan’er listen as well.”

Hearing Nangong Zhan’s words, Nangong Hao immediately rejoiced. He quickly rose and spoke loudly.

“Father, the Beichen Family’s strength far exceeds our previous expectations!”

“The Beichen Family’s old ancestor, Beichen Shou, had already half-stepped through the ninth level of the Emperor Realm several years ago, reaching the Half-Step Supreme. With such strength, he is almost unrivaled in the Ancient Domain!”

“Moreover, according to my observations, there is likely a mysterious strong individual behind the Beichen Family, and the strength of this mysterious strong individual is very likely even more terrifying than Beichen Shou’s!”

“This child has already discussed the terms with the Beichen Family. As long as my Nangong Family chooses to submit, after unification, my Nangong Family’s status will remain unchanged, and we will also have a share of the Xiao Family’s industries!”

Nangong Hao’s voice was loud and clear, and the conditions he stated were very inciting.

After speaking, Nangong Hao stepped forward and handed a book radiating a water-blue glow to Nangong Zhan.

Nangong Zhan took the book, sensed it slightly, and his eyes immediately revealed a look of shock and surprise…

He nodded at Nangong Hao with satisfaction, as if he had already made a decision.

Nangong Hao was overjoyed to see his father’s expression.

He understood his father well; he had always been calm and unruffled when facing matters. For him to show such an expression, it must be a major event…

The book the Beichen Family gave him must have been very significant!

Nangong Zhan closed his eyes slightly, as if deep in thought.

Then he opened his eyes again and looked at Southern Palace Yan.

“Yan’er, tell me your thoughts.”

Hearing Nangong Zhan’s words, Southern Palace Yan quickly stood up.

To be honest, the benefits and intelligence she gained from the Xiao Family were not as much as Nangong Hao’s…

Moreover, looking at her father’s expression just now…

But she still calmed herself slightly and spoke slowly.

“Father, this daughter also obtained a lot of information from her trip.”

“This daughter believes that the Xiao Family is also not simple.”

“The Contemporary Human Emperor of the Xiao Family is very likely real. He is…”

Southern Palace Yan instinctively wanted to say he was a mysterious White-Robed Man, but before the words could leave her mouth, her buttocks felt a chill…

At the same time, a cold sensation emanated from her wrists and ankles…

The words she was about to utter came to an abrupt halt.

Then her face flushed slightly, and her toes curled, embarrassed beyond words…

The person opposite was her father.

But if she didn’t say it, she would immediately turn into a human ring and then be spanked in public…

“He is…”

“Uncle Mu…”

Southern Palace Yan was a very straightforward person, but these words, she spoke them hesitantly.

Hearing this, the air in the hall suddenly fell silent.

Nangong Hao was stunned.

Even Nangong Zhan was stunned.

What was going on?

Southern Palace Yan, in front of her father and brother, called someone from the Xiao Family, whom she had only met a few times, “Uncle”?

Nangong Hao looked at Southern Palace Yan with a strange expression.

Nangong Zhan, however, suddenly sensed something unusual.

He knew his daughter’s personality; Southern Palace Yan was straightforward, frank, and strong-willed, her character even surpassing many men.

Now that she was acting so hesitant, with a flushed face, like a young girl, there must be some story behind it…

“Yan’er, your…”,

“Uncle… Mu…”

“Is he in the Emperor Realm?”

In Nangong Zhan’s opinion, he would have to be at least in the Emperor Realm to be worthy of his daughter’s address of “Uncle”…
