“Miss Nangong?

When did you arrive?

I had no idea, and I’m truly sorry for not greeting you personally.”

“Now, you even had to witness such an embarrassment, but don’t worry, I will quickly resolve this trouble, and then our selection meeting can continue.”

Nangong Lingya hurriedly explained, “Yang Tianqi, I’m telling you to let it go, don’t make a move.

If you continue, you will be the next one to die!”

Nangong Lingya said very earnestly.

“Miss Nangong, do you distrust me that much?”

“Rest assured, dealing with an ignorant youngster is something I have experience with, you can just enjoy the show.”

Nangong Lingya sighed helplessly and continued, “If you insist on fighting, then the next one to die will be you!”

Yang Tianqi looked at Nangong Lingya curiously and asked, “Miss Nangong, what’s with you today?

Don’t you trust my strength anymore?

Do you really think that I’m no match for this young man?”

“Of course, don’t blame me for speaking the truth, but you are absolutely no match for him!”

Yang Tianqi furrowed his brows and followed up, “Miss Nangong, why would you say that?

Why are you so certain?”

“Yang Tianqi, you are only Grade 3 of the Martial Emperor Realm, and I know your strength.”

“Although your swordsmanship is exquisite, it ultimately cannot cover up the vast gap in true power.”

“During this trip outside, I brought many strong individuals with me, but none of them lasted more than a few minutes against him.”

“In fact, he doesn’t even need to take action himself; sending out a subordinate is enough to handle them all.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianqi found it hard to believe.

“That’s impossible, Miss Nangong, each of your guards is top-notch.

How could they not be a match for him?”

Nangong Lingya continued, “Because the strong individuals by my side have already been killed by him, even Uncle Qin, whose strength is in no way inferior to yours.”

“You have to understand the situation we’re in.

If you persist in your stubborn ways, then I won’t stop you anymore, and you’ll pay the price for your decision.”

After speaking, Nangong Lingya stood to one side, making way for Yang Tianqi.

Yang Tianqi was caught in a dilemma and fell silent.

He lowered his head in deep thought, occasionally lifting it to glance at Lu Chuan.

Although he was seething with anger, he had to listen to Nangong Lingya’s words.

He sighed helplessly and said, “Miss Nangong, thank you for your kind reminder.

I understand that you are trying to help me.

If what you say is true, then perhaps I really am no match for him.”

Having said that, he turned back to look at Lu Chuan, feeling a mix of emotions.

He trusted Nangong Lingya’s words, yet the person before him didn’t seem like a strong practitioner of the Martial Emperor Realm at all.

He shook his head helplessly and gave a wry smile, looking at Lu Chuan in a very friendly manner, careful not to offend him.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh.

This old fellow sure knew how to act appropriately when it counted.

“I think there may have been some misunderstanding between us.”

He smiled awkwardly, walking towards Lu Chuan.

“What misunderstanding?

Weren’t you about to teach me a lesson just now?

How did it turn into a misunderstanding?”

Yang Tianqi’s face was full of unease and embarrassment.

He looked at Lu Chuan and offered a helpless smile, “I truly apologize, I wasn’t aware of your identity.

If I had known, I would have certainly treated you with the respect due to a distinguished guest.”

“As for my disciple, he was a fool who couldn’t see the situation clearly, it’s his bad luck, so he deserved to die.”

“Let’s not talk about that matter anymore, let’s just pretend it has passed.”

Lu Chuan raised his hand to block Yang Tianqi’s attempt to throw an arm around his shoulder.

“You just spoke to me rudely, and I’m thinking about how I should punish you.

How about this, I’ll let you reunite with your disciple to save him from being too lonely on the road to Huang Quan.”

“Ah!!”

Yang Tianqi shouted in alarm, quickly turning his head, “Young master, what I said just now was complete nonsense, please don’t take it to heart.”

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples all lowered their heads, not daring to look Lu Chuan in the eye again.

In their eyes, if their highly respected master could submit, what choice did they have as disciples but to do the same?

Many looked regretfully at the pile of charred remains on the ground, lamenting the unlucky Zhao Kai, who had picked a tough nut to crack.

Perhaps it really was his fate to die this way.

Lu Chuan turned to Yang Tianqi and Nangong Lingya, asking, “You two seem to be quite familiar with each other, did you know each other before?”

“Yes, that’s right.

I said earlier I came as a judge, not to participate in the competition.

Our Nangong family indeed has some history with the Fiery Sword Sect.”

Yang Tianqi hurriedly continued, “It’s more than just some history, we’re practically family!”

“We at the Fiery Sword Sect wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of the Nangong family.”

“Calling the Nangong family our saviors wouldn’t be an overstatement for us in the Fiery Sword Sect!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but become curious, “It seems your two families are very close.”

Lu Chuan looked at Yang Tianqi, urgently asking, “Do you know Nangong Qianying?

We’re looking for him for some business.”

Yang Tianqi had opened his mouth to say something when suddenly Nangong Lingya interrupted him.

“Young Master Lu, as I have already made very clear, Nangong Qianying is dead.

He died three years ago; he no longer exists in this world.”

Lu Chuan stared at Nangong Lingya, beginning to feel that she was lying.

The first time she mentioned it, Lu Chuan hadn’t felt anything and believed that Nangong Lingya was telling the truth.

But the second time, Lu Chuan wasn’t asking her, but Yang Tianqi, and just as Yang Tianqi was about to speak, he was interrupted by Nangong Lingya.

This inevitably made Lu Chuan start to doubt.

“Have you truly never seen Nangong Qianying?

Not even recently?”

Lu Chuan asked again, and this time, Yang Tianqi’s mouth was tightly sealed, not willing to utter an extra word, leaving everything to Nangong Lingya.

“Young Master Lu, there is no need to ask again.

This matter is set in stone.

I am not lying—Nangong Qianying is indeed dead.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I can choose to believe you, what you’re saying is true.”

“However, I plan to further explore the Kunlun Domain in the future.

Perhaps I’ll come across someone from the Nangong family.”

“If by that time I happen to meet you and need to stay at your home for a few nights, I hope you won’t mind too much.”

“How could I mind, of course not.

If you come to the Nangong Residence, I’ll definitely welcome you warmly, even throwing you a celebration party.”

Nangong Lingya forced a stiff smile.

“These are your words, if I come to your city, I’ll come looking for you.”

Nangong Lingya nodded helplessly, “No problem… you’re always welcome…”
