Nangong Yuze knew his son was right. They couldn't keep Yan'er locked up in the South China Sea Crystal Palace forever. If Yan'er didn't go out and travel, she would never know how high the sky was or how big the earth was.
"In that case, let's find a way to break off Yan'er and Yifei's engagement!" Sima Jiaorong was no longer worried. They had only said it casually back then, but Nan Manying had taken it seriously. With what Venerable Yunxiao had said, how could Nan Manying give up?
“Madam, this matter is quite difficult to resolve, after all, it is a marriage alliance between two great families. But since Yan’er doesn’t want to marry, we can only mediate.” Nangong Yuze sighed inwardly, deeply worried about his daughter who was away from home.
"Father, Mother, this matter will come to an end here. Knowing Yifei's personality, he should be going to see his mother now. He will only bring this up again after they come up with a solution. We should come up with a plan then," Nangong Ruichen comforted him. To resolve the matter, they would have to see how things developed.
"That's all we can do. You two brothers have been traveling for days and must be tired. Go and rest!"
"yes……."
"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!" the servants in the mansion shouted loudly.
Nangong Yuze's eyes narrowed slightly. In broad daylight, how could anyone dare to blatantly break into the South China Sea Glazed Palace?
"What assassin? You bunch of little bastards, do I look like an assassin? When my disciple comes back, I'll make sure he poisons you all!" Tian Nanxing said, turning back as he ran away. He had come all this way to see his disciple's house, but what had he done to deserve being mistaken for an assassin?
Just as Nangong Ruichen was about to make a move, he heard Tian Nanxing muttering to himself.
"Stop!" Nangong Ruichen shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes! Stop it now, or I'll poison you all with this poison!" Tian Nanxing turned around and yelled at the guards chasing him, hands on his hips, glaring at them.
“Young Master, but he…” Qi Wei, the steward of the South Sea Glazed Palace, pointed at Tian Nanxing.
"You can go down first."
"Yes, young master." Qi Wei waved his hand, and the people behind him left with him.
"Hehe! Kid, you're the most sensible one. This old man came all this way, do you think it was easy for me?" Tian Nanxing chuckled as he pointed at himself and walked up to the father and sons.
"May I ask what brings you to the South China Sea Glazed Palace?" Nangong Yuze asked respectfully.
"Haha! What could this old man possibly have to do? Nothing much, I just wanted to come and see my old apprentice's house." Tian Nanxing walked towards Nangong Yuze and the others with his hands behind his back, looking around smugly.
"May I ask who your disciple is...?"
However, Tian Nanxing was only focused on admiring the beautiful scenery around him and did not answer the question. Just as everyone was wondering, Tian Nanxing said leisurely, "My old man's apprentice is of course your daughter, Xiao Yan'er!" Tian Nanxing said without much concern.
"Yan'er?" The group looked at Tian Nanxing in shock.
"Who are you...?" Nangong Yuze had some idea of Tian Nanxing's identity, but he wasn't sure.
"No problem, no problem. I am the Ghost Doctor Tian Nanxing, your Yan'er's master. I was just visiting my disciple's house for a bit when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect those little brats to mistake this old man for an assassin." Tian Nanxing looked unhappy as soon as he mentioned this.
"Oh! So it's Venerable Nanxing. I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner," Nangong Yuze said politely.
"Greetings, Venerable Nanxing." Upon hearing this, Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi also greeted him respectfully.
"Venerable Nanxing, please come this way!" Sima Jiaorong said with a smile. "I wonder when Venerable Nanxing took our Yan'er as his disciple."
"Was Xiao Yan'er really self-taught a few days ago?"
“That’s right, Venerable Nanxing. Yan’er has searched all the pharmacists in the South China Sea Glazed Palace, but none of them were to her liking, so she taught herself from books.” Nangong Yuze replied proudly.
"Haha! Not bad, not bad. It seems I, this old man, was right. You don't need to worry about her outside. She won't be harmed. Someone will protect her well." Venerable Nanxing said with a meaningful smile...
After traveling for three days, Nangong Ziyan and her companions finally saw signs of human habitation. Seeing the bustling streets, Nangong Ziyan was overjoyed. She curiously examined the various items on the stalls. After a few days of living in the wilderness, she, who always loved crowds, was actually quite unaccustomed to it.
"Haotian, where in the Netherworld Continent is this? This place must be under your rule, right? It's so prosperous and lively!" Nangong Ziyan walked backwards, smiling as she looked at the silent Beiming Haotian.
Tian Haoze answered first, "Sister Yan'er, this is the Netherworld Capital, the most prosperous place in the entire Netherworld Continent. Of course it's lively. Besides, these shops all belong to Haotian. He's very rich." Tian Haoze spoke the last sentence very softly.
"Wow! Haotian, you're really amazing." Nangong Ziyan gave Beiming Haotian a thumbs up, her eyes softening as she looked at him. She was determined to win his heart.
Bei Ming Haotian smiled calmly. All of this was because of her appearance. If it weren't for the day she was born, which gave him hope and anticipation, why would he have thought of doing all this? Seeing her praise him, he felt that all the waiting was worthwhile.
"How about it? Marry Haotian, and you'll be a little rich woman. All of this will be yours." Tian Haoze looked at Bei Ming Haotian with a bewitching smile.
"Brother Haoze, even if Yan'er wants to get married, someone has to want to marry her first!" Nangong Ziyan said with a smile, as if she was joking, but anyone could hear the seriousness in her tone.
Bei Ming Haotian suddenly stopped in his tracks, his heart pounding. Every time he saw her affectionate eyes, he couldn't control his heart. That day in Ziyan Valley, he had taken a step forward with his heart, but he still had reservations.
"We're here, Sister Yan'er. This is the most famous restaurant in the Netherworld Capital, Zui Xian Lou. Do you know what they serve the best food here?" Tian Haoze pointed to the magnificent three-story restaurant with the three gilded characters "Zui Xian Lou" on its walls. Tian Haoze licked his lips, making a swallowing sound. Yan'er's cooking was comparable to that of Zui Xian Lou! It almost made his mouth water.
"What dish?" Nangong Ziyan's eyes gleamed. It was her favorite dish! Not only did she love eating it, but she also loved cooking it. It would be great to learn a thing or two.
The smile on Nangong Ziyan's face froze the moment she stepped into Zuixianlou.
