As Ximen Ruiyun watched Nangong Ziyan's retreating figure, various speculations arose in his mind, especially regarding the letter from last night. Who had delivered it to Chunxue's room? And why would they want him to know about the existence of the Shennong Scripture?
For a time, everyone had different thoughts and was considering their own affairs.
In Bei Ming Haotian's private room, a servant served tea and then quickly withdrew.
Bei Ming Haotian said nothing, waiting for Nangong Ruichen to speak.
"Big brother, did you call Yan'er and Haotian over because of something?" Seeing that the three grown men didn't speak, she had no choice but to ask first.
"Yan'er, your elder brother only hopes that you can be happy. I have seen your resolute attitude regarding your relationship with Yifei. However, this matter must be resolved first before you can peacefully seek your own happiness. The East Sea Continent will definitely not let this matter rest. You have been with the Demon Lord for some time now, and I just want to know what the Demon Lord is thinking."
After speaking, Nangong Ruichen quietly looked at Beiming Haotian. Yan'er had said many times that she wanted to marry him, which made him take it seriously. Moreover, there were many negative rumors about him. He didn't know why Yan'er had fallen in love with him.
Bei Ming Haotian raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Ruichen.
"I will marry Yan'er, and that is my true intention." A simple sentence, without much embellishment, clearly expressed his sincerity.
“Since it comes from the heart, then I, the young master, do not wish for rumors about you and Yan’er to spread outside. As for the matters between the South China Sea Continent and the East China Sea Continent, we will handle them ourselves.” Nangong Ruichen did not want Beiming Haotian to be involved in resolving this matter, after all, the South China Sea Continent and the East China Sea Continent were old friends, and their relationship should not be made too strained.
Bei Ming Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I can ignore the affairs of the East Sea Continent and the South Sea Continent, but if the East Sea Continent does anything outrageous to Yan'er, I will not stand idly by."
“That’s right! Brother, now is not the time to worry about the relationship between the two continents. You know Nan Manning’s personality. She takes Yan’er and Yifei’s matter very seriously. Every year she brings Yifei to the South China Sea Glass Palace to see Yan’er. She has treated Yan’er as her daughter-in-law since she was born. In my opinion, Nan Manning will not give up easily.” Nangong Jingqi said with some concern.
Things haven't gotten to that point yet.
Nangong Ruichen thought that if things really came to that point, they would have no choice but to break off all pretense of civility.
"Brother, don't worry. I will handle Madam Dongfang's matter personally. Taking advantage of their visit to the South China Sea Glazed Palace, I can make Madam Dongfang go back speechless and ensure that she never mentions me and Dongfang Yifei again." Nangong Ziyan was not concerned about Nan Manying's problem. What she was worried about was Dongfang Yifei. Dongfang Yifei was cunning and often only showed his true colors.
"By the way, eldest brother, second brother, you must be careful when you see Yifei in the future. Although he only comes to the South China Sea Glazed Palace once a year, Yan'er knows his personality very well. Yifei often only shows his true colors. He is extremely cunning..."
“Yan’er, you must be overthinking it. Second brother and Yifei have been playing together since they were little. How could second brother not know his bad temper?” Nangong Jingqi disagreed with his sister’s words.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ziyan didn't say much. Her second brother was simple-minded and often only saw the surface. There were many things that Dongfang Yifei wouldn't dare to do in front of his thoughtful eldest brother. This was also why she believed that her eldest brother would reconsider her marriage with Yifei.
"Yan'er, in short, until this matter is resolved..."
“Brother, don’t worry. Yan’er has always been sensible in her actions, and she knows what she wants.” Nangong Ziyan knew what he wanted to say.
"Alright! I've watched you grow up since you were little, and I know you've always been very steady in your actions." Nangong Ruichen didn't press the matter. He understood that Yan'er was very opinionated, which was why they weren't like other families where marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, forcing her to marry someone she didn't like. On the contrary, they believed that Yan'er could find someone she liked on her own. However, Yan'er chose the Demon Lord, which made him even more worried.
"Alright, big brother, don't worry too much." Nangong Jingqi felt that this matter wasn't too difficult to resolve.
"By the way, Yan'er, when your second brother came, he went to the back mountain. The back mountain is full of spring colors, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. At this time of year, you would already be preparing to make peach blossom wine. The only wine that the three men in our family can drink is peach blossom wine. Moreover, your second brother even went to the wine cellar to check, and there was only a small jar left. Father has been reluctant to drink it lately." Nangong Jingqi's expression was cute, and her eyes lit up when she talked about peach blossom wine.
“That’s right! Yan’er, all three men in our Nangong family only drink the peach blossom wine you brew. Over the years, you’ve really spoiled our palates. The wine outside is bitter and astringent, and we can’t even drink a drop.” Speaking of this, Nangong Ruichen also thought of his own interests.
"Yan'er, you know how to brew wine?" Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan with shining eyes.
"Demon Lord, Yan'er knows so many things. The peach blossom wine I brew is very smooth, without any bitterness. The wine is mellow and has a faint peach blossom fragrance in the aftertaste. It is a truly good wine." Nangong Jingqi winked at Beiming Haotian. Actually, this Demon Lord is not as terrible as the rumors say.
Bei Ming Haotian gave a wicked smile. He would slowly discover her good qualities.
"Don't worry, big brother. Even if Yan'er isn't at the South China Sea Glazed Palace, Yan'er will still make sure all the wine for the three men in our family is ready." Nangong Ziyan knew they loved her peach blossom wine. She would brew about twenty jars every year, but since the peach blossom season was short, she could only brew it once a year, and at most, she could only brew about twenty jars.
