Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1028 - 1028 1014 Courtesy Before Force

Chapter 1028: Chapter 1014: Courtesy Before Force Chapter 1028: Chapter 1014: Courtesy Before Force Nangong Yan suddenly said, “That’s right, Father, their Carefree vessel is by the seashore; we should go and destroy it now.”

“You needn’t bother with that matter,” Nangong Yao said.

Realizing that her father was already angry, Nangong Yan hurriedly lowered her head.

Guan Xun led people to get food, and suddenly the room was left with only two people.

Nangong Yan sat on the other side, not daring to speak anymore.

“Father is afraid you might be in danger, that’s why he didn’t bring you here,” Nangong Yao explained. “Because Father also doesn’t know what will happen next. If it were truly a fun affair, how could Father possibly not bring you along?”

Nangong Yan continued to peel her orange.

“Killing Shao Hengjiang is our affair. If you, a girl, really get into trouble, how would I explain to your mother, how would I have the face to meet your mother?”

Nangong Yan wrinkled her nose and said, “I know, I’ll protect myself.”

“The martial world is treacherous, extremely dangerous.”

Nangong Yan didn’t really want to hear this and asked again, “By the way, Father, what do you plan to do to rescue sister Ouyang Yue?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. We have our own ways of rescue,” answered Nangong Yao, who wouldn’t tell her these things. He had just arrived at Sacred Spirit Island and had yet to meet Si Nanyu. To rescue Ouyang Yue, he’d need to meet Si Nanyu first.

“Father wouldn’t just watch sister Ouyang Yue get killed, right?”

Having heard this, Nangong Yao said, “Rest assured, if your father really had the heart to watch Ouyang Yue in trouble, he wouldn’t have come.”

“That’s for the best. I thought Father was like them, only after the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Is your father that kind of person?” Nangong Yao looked at his daughter.

Only then did Nangong Yan nod slightly.

Ouyang Yue was the daughter of his Junior Sister, Ouyang Meng. If he didn’t try to rescue her, no one else could. Therefore, he must rescue Ouyang Yue.

Nangong Yao said, “But to rescue someone, there are ways to do so; it can’t be done recklessly.”

Suddenly, Song Yi flew in and said, “Sect Leader, Qiandu Xiang has come, he’s on the first floor.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan jumped up and exclaimed, “What does this devil want, how dare he come here? This Smiling Tiger really thinks we don’t know what happened.”

As a result, Nangong Yao waved his hand. He didn’t want to clash directly with Qiandu Xiang just yet. His purpose for coming here was Ouyang Yue and the key. At least for now, clashing with Qiandu Xiang would be extremely foolish.

“Master, shall we meet this person?”

“We still have to see what he has to say.”

“He’s definitely going to spout nonsense. Father, I am very clear about the rubbish this person speaks,” said Nangong Yan.

“Yan’er, you stay in the room, don’t come out,” Nangong Yao said as he stood up and walked downstairs.

Qiandu Xiang, who was on the first floor, respectfully stood up.

With his hands clasped together, Qiandu Xiang said, “Ah, it really is my senior’s visit, I thought those people were deceiving me.”

Not expecting him to come so quickly, Nangong Yao said, “Such a major event has happened in the Sacred Spirit Sect, how could I not come? Although I have left the Sacred Spirit Sect to become the Sect Leader of Immortal Medicine Island, in my heart, the Sacred Spirit Sect will always be my first homeland.”

From upstairs, Nangong Yan opened the window and looked down.

Seeing this, Qiandu Xiang spoke again, “So sister is also here, why not come down?”

Nangong Yan cracked sunflower seeds disdainfully, not giving him a pleasant look, yet wanting to hear what this fellow had to say.

Qiandu Xiang said, “There’s too much going on in the sect because so many things have happened suddenly, so I haven’t had the opportunity to pay my respects to my senior.”

“That’s all right,” Nangong Yao knew what really happened in the Sacred Spirit Sect and didn’t want to pursue the matter further. If he did, conflict would be inevitable. What mattered most now were Ouyang Yue and the Sacred Spirit Stone. Besides, the sect was under Qiandu Xiang’s control, and they were on Immortal Medicine Island. Clashing with the opposition, he had no assurance whatsoever.

Qiandu Xiang had already invited Nangong Yao over.

Nangong Yao said, “What exactly happened in the Sacred Spirit Sect, outsiders may not know, but you and I do. Although I have no evidence, don’t even think about deceiving me.”

“Heh, saying so makes me bewildered. You better not listen to that traitor Si Nanyu spouting nonsense. He’s the real culprit. Using Ouyang Yue’s feelings for him, he conspired to kill the Sect Leader and even aimed for his position. Despicable indeed,” Qiandu Xiang poured a cup of tea.

Truly a shameless man, that’s the classic case of a thief crying ‘Stop thief!’. Nangong Yao said, “I’ve seen too much of this ‘thief crying stop thief’. Right now, I’m not concerned with that. You’ve already got the Sect Leader’s position you wanted. What I want to know is whether you can let Ouyang Yue go.”

Qiandu Xiang said, “Letting Ouyang Yue go? How could I, even though I feel sorry for her? But after all, she is the murderess who killed our master. If I don’t have her executed, what would others think of me? Would they still listen to me?”

“Heh, whether she is really the murderer of your master, that’s still up for debate.”

“I don’t understand that.”

“I know you do. Ouyang Yue is after all your master’s foster daughter, and you’ve already got what you wanted. If you could let her go, I would be extremely grateful.”

“Fine, since my senior uncle has spoken, if senior uncle can persuade Si Nanyu to hand over the key and save it, I will immediately release my junior sister and also let Si Nanyu go.”

“You…” Nangong Yao knew he couldn’t hand the key over to someone like him. If the Sacred Spirit Stone were in his hands, it would spell disaster. The world would fall into chaos, an impossibility.

Qiandu Xiang seemed to also know that he would never agree, and said with a laugh, “Senior uncle, I advise you to stay out of this matter. Don’t get involved. The reason I’m speaking to you like this is precisely because you’re my senior uncle. We don’t want to make an enemy of the Immortal Medicine Sect.” He leisurely sipped his strong tea, clearly unable to release Ouyang Yue just yet, although he had no desire to kill her. But to get the Sacred Spirit Stone, he must do so.

Song Yi said, “Do you think your deeds are flawless? You might fool others, but not us.”

“Ha, what evidence do you have? Just Si Nanyu’s words? You should understand, the victor becomes the hero, the loser a laughing stock. Black can be turned white, as long as people are willing to believe.”

“For all the evil you’ve done, beware the wrath of heaven,” Song Yi pointed at his nose.

But he was pushed away by Hai Jingtian, who said, “Watch where you’re pointing. This is Sacred Spirit Island, not Immortal Medicine Island.” The thugs behind him were itching for a fight.

Qiandu Xiang suddenly stood up and said, “Alright, I’m trying to reason with you because you are my senior uncle. I came to see you because I don’t want to ruin our relationship. It would be best if you don’t help Si Nanyu, or else don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

It was clear this guy was here to threaten them.

Nangong Yao stood up and said, “My Immortal Medicine Sect isn’t easily frightened. We may not be as powerful as your Sacred Spirit Sect, but that doesn’t mean we can be threatened.”

Qiandu Xiang glared fiercely at him. Nangong Yao’s men had all stood up. Qiandu Xiang pondered for a moment; securing the key was most important right now, and he didn’t want to clash with them just yet. After all, with so many watching, a good reason was needed to justify a conflict, for the sake of legitimacy.

“Your sister grows more beautiful by the day, but be sure to take good care of her.” Qiandu Xiang turned and left after speaking.

Hearing this, Song Yi wanted to draw his sword and strike, but was stopped by Nangong Yao who knew it would be of no use and would not save Ouyang Yue.

Qiandu Xiang sneered and left the inn with Hai Jingtian and his men.

“He’s clearly threatening us. Why is he so brazen?” Song Yi said, fuming.

The more Nangong Yao thought, the more certain he became that the key could not end up in Qiandu Xiang’s hands—the consequences were too grim to consider. “Song Yi, find Si Nanyu, and Guan Xun, look after Yan’er,” he said.

Song Yi said, “That guy’s too arrogant. Who does he think he is!”

Nangong Yao didn’t care about that.

Nangong Yan came downstairs, knowing they must find Si Nanyu without delay.

“We should expose his deeds to everyone,” Song Yi said.

“That’s only if people believe it,” Nangong Yao replied.

Nangong Yao felt he had been impulsive earlier, regretting having provoked Qiandu Xiang. It was hard for anyone to hold back after being directly threatened and spoken to so rudely.

“Dad, are you alright?”

Nangong Yao looked back and shook his head.

Qiandu Xiang was very angry.

Hai Jingtian said, “It seems Nangong Yao would rather face penalties than toasting courteously.”

“One must offer civilities before resorting to force,” Qiandu Xiang said.

“I think they will definitely help Si Nanyu. These guys want to oppose us,” said Hai Jingtian. “We must give them a taste of our strength.”

Qiandu Xiang hadn’t expected things to turn out this way and cursed, “Shao Hengjiang, that useless fool, couldn’t even stop the Jinglong ship.”

But at that moment, he couldn’t blame Shao Hengjiang for nothing. Shao Hengjiang had acted, having destroyed even the Cangqiong ship, so there was nothing more to say.

“I think we should capture his daughter,” Hai Jingtian said.

Qiandu Xiang looked over, considering that if they captured Nangong Yan, they could keep Nangong Yao in check and see if he would dare to make a wrong move then.

“We should show him some color, or he might really think we have no way to deal with them.”

After hearing this, Qiandu Xiang said, “Leave this matter to Gu Feng.”
