The three men, Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Yuze, remained silent, which clearly indicated their stance.
Baili Yuechan glanced at her and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. If her father were here, he certainly wouldn't have gone against the entire South China Sea Glazed Palace for her sake. Nangong Ziyan was truly a blessed person. Her parents had gone to such lengths for her, which was truly enviable.
"Madam Nangong is joking. My master's words only represent his individual stance and do not mean that my Qihe Dynasty is going against the South Sea Glazed Palace. Miss Nangong is destined to be this way, and Madam should not vent her anger on the Qihe Dynasty."
After Baili Yuechan finished speaking, she walked back to her seat. There was no point in arguing with them now; she had something very important to do today: Nangong Ziyan had to die.
"Hmph!" Sima Jiaorong snorted coldly as she looked at Baili Yuechan's back and sat back down in her seat.
"Jiaorong! Where is Yan'er? I heard from Fei'er that Yan'er is also coming to participate in the competition today."
Once Nanmaning saw that Baili Yuechan had left, she naturally wouldn't bring up what had just happened. If this matter were to be investigated, then it would be a different story.
"Yan'er will be there soon."
Sima Jiaorong didn't have a pleasant expression; she knew perfectly well why Nan Manying had come.
Looking at her distant and indifferent expression, Nan Manying had a bad feeling.
Their conversation was overheard by Baili Jun'ao and Ximen Ruiyun, who were standing not far away.
Baili Jun'ao was deep in thought, while Ximen Ruiyun looked at Baili Yuechan, his narrowed eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.
Sitting to the side, Ximen Chunxue stared intently at Tian Haoze and Hua Rujin. Seeing the two whispering to each other, she really wanted to kill Hua Rujin.
At this moment, more and more people arrived at the arena. Nangong Ziyan, Beiming Haotian, and Hua Nongying arrived, and their arrival caused a great commotion among the people in the arena. This was the Demon Lord's first Island Storm Tournament, which made people from several continents look at him with a mixture of excitement and fear.
Bei Ming Haotian was dressed in black. He was tall and imposing, and his stunning features were hidden by a mask. His dark and deep icy eyes were wild and unrestrained, charming and sexy. He exuded a kingly aura that could shake the world. At this moment, a carefree smile was on his beautiful lips.
"Young Master Tian, Zi Yan and the Demon Lord have arrived." Hua Rujin nudged Tian Haoze, who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Let them come! We knew they were coming back anyway, what's so strange about that?" Tian Haoze still didn't open his eyes.
Hua Rujin could only make a face at him.
What was most unbelievable was that he was holding Nangong Ziyan in his arms, her face beaming with a happy smile, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Beiming Haotian's domineering act seemed to be declaring to everyone that Nangong Ziyan belonged only to him, Beiming Haotian. Wasn't he a demon feared by the world? Wasn't it said that his eyes were red? The appearance of the two of them today instantly overturned the rumors about Beiming Haotian.
Seeing all this from a distance, Bei Ming Yaowei's eagle-like eyes were fixed on Bei Ming Haotian's grinning face. He was so angry that he wanted to strangle Bei Ming Haotian on the spot, but he didn't have the ability. He finally understood what it meant to raise a tiger to cause trouble. His momentary negligence back then had let him go, and all his careful planning over the years had been in vain because of Nangong Ziyan.
Yu He smiled as he looked at Bei Ming Haotian. He truly lived up to his reputation as their young master; his mere aura was enough to overwhelm the entire scene.
Sima Jiaorong stood up, looking at them with a displeased expression.
"Haotian, my father, mother, and brothers are over there. Let's go over there."
Nangong Ziyan pointed to Sima Jiaorong's location, her excitement radiating an unusual glow. She missed them terribly after being away from them for so many days.
"Hmm!" Bei Ming Haotian nodded gently, glanced at Sima Jiaorong, and suddenly, Bei Ming Haotian's eyes widened in surprise, a sense of familiarity spreading throughout his body.
"Yan'er, is that lady standing there your mother?"
The serious tone of his voice surprised Nangong Ziyan slightly.
"Yes! Haotian, isn't my mother very beautiful?"
Nangong Ziyan smiled smugly. She had completely inherited her mother's beauty, but in her opinion, among the three siblings, the eldest brother was the most outstanding.
“It is very beautiful.” A trace of sadness flashed in Bei Ming Haotian’s eyes. His mother looked very much like her, and his mother was also very beautiful. At first glance, this figure actually had the shadow of his mother. Was he seeing things, or was he missing his mother too much?
Hua Nongying followed quietly behind them, without saying a word, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
The Dongfang family members were even more displeased, especially Dongfang Yifei, who glared at Nangong Ziyan with hatred, as if she had cheated on him. When he saw Nangong Ziyan's appearance, he was momentarily stunned; she seemed even more beautiful. Was it because of Beiming Haotian? Dongfang Yifei was consumed by jealousy. He was determined to succeed today; Nangong Ziyan could only marry him, Dongfang Yifei…
The moment Baili Yuechan and Ximen Chunxue saw Nangong Ziyan, they were both startled. Was it really Nangong Ziyan they were seeing?
"How could this be done in public?"
As soon as Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian approached Sima Jiaorong, Sima Jiaorong suppressed her longing for her daughter and spoke in a low but stern voice.
"Mother...?" Nangong Ziyan suddenly thought of something. Then she smiled, knowing what her mother was worried about.
"Mother, Father, this is Haotian."
Bei Ming Haotian didn't speak, but nodded to Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze.
