"Oh! Yan'er, where are you going?" Sima Jiaorong was very worried as she watched Nangong Ziyan angrily trying to leave.
"Mother, don't worry, Yan'er is going to see someone and will be back soon."
Nangong Ziyan ignored everything and hurriedly walked out.
"Auntie, don't worry! Tian'er will go and check it out."
Bei Ming Haotian knew who she was going to see, and he wouldn't let her go alone, so he hurriedly chased after her.
"Alas! Tian'er..."
"Hey! Girl, don't go! Tell this old man what ADHD is!"
Tian Nanxing shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Oh dear! I'll go with her and see. Yan'er must be going to Wuguzi..."
"Jiaorong, let them go! Yan'er has her own path to walk," Nangong Yuze said quickly, pulling Sima Jiaorong along.
"Then why didn't you tell Yan'er the truth?" Sima Jiaorong looked at Nangong Yuze reproachfully. Didn't he feel bad for making his daughter run around like this?
"Wow! Father, Mother, so you knew about the Seven Jade of Eternity! You're so cunning! You knew but didn't tell Yan'er. Look how angry Yan'er is."
"Shut up, brat. If you dare tell Yan'er about this, I'll break your legs." Nangong Yuze warned Nangong Jingqi.
Nangong Ziyan and Jingqi scratched their heads. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. What's the big deal?" Nangong Jingqi said softly.
"Wow! So you two are just as cunning as this old man! Neither of you dares to tell that girl the truth?"
Tian Nanxing jumped up, looking at the couple in shock. So they knew.
“Venerable Nanxing, don’t talk about us, you’re quite cunning too. Don’t you also know the truth? Why don’t you tell Yan’er?”
Sima Jiaorong said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"
"Likewise, likewise, we too must keep our secrets to ourselves."
Nangong Yuze smiled and said.
"You can still laugh? Aren't you worried about that girl?" Tian Nanxing looked at Nangong Yuze strangely. Shouldn't he be crying his eyes out, "My daughter! Your fate is so hard... How can your father help you!" and so on? But he seemed so calm.
“Venerable Nanxing, there is nothing to worry about. I have watched my daughter grow up, and I have witnessed her strength and courage firsthand. The Holy Venerable has chosen Yan’er, and as Yan’er’s father, I am very proud.”
Nangong Yuze smiled and said that this was a test for Yan'er. His daughter would grow up during this arduous journey.
He originally thought it would be Chen'er or Qi'er, but to his surprise, it was Yan'er.
"It seems you're quite open-minded. That's right. Your Nangong family are descendants of the Holy Venerable, so it's not surprising that you were chosen to be from your Nangong family. Just like you said, this old man also believes that my disciple is extraordinary and should be able to unravel the mystery left behind by the Holy Venerable."
"Heavenly secrets? What heavenly secrets? And what are you talking about? How did a Saint Venerable suddenly appear?" Nangong Jingqi became more and more curious. Was there some secret that he couldn't know?
"Alright, Qi'er, you don't need to be too curious about this anymore. You'll find out later."
"Oh dear! Mother, aren't you just teasing Qi'er? Knowing a little bit is even more intriguing than not knowing at all!"
Nangong Jingqi stomped her foot like a child; this half-baked understanding was what made it so irresistible!
"Alright, Qi'er, it's no use telling you now. Besides, you'll only get anxious after hearing it. We're just like you, only having a vague understanding. Only Yan'er can solve the mystery. Only then will we know the truth." Sima Jiaorong patted Nangong Jingqi's shoulder. This matter... she didn't know how to bring it up, because it was just a prophecy.
"Fine! You're treating me like an outsider. If my older brother were here today, you would definitely have told him." Nangong Jingqi looked disappointed and turned to walk out the door. He was feeling hurt; he felt that his mother and father were being biased.
"Qi'er, go check on your older brother and Haoze. Where did they go today? We haven't seen them all day. The South China Sea Glass Exhibition is in a month and a half, we need to go back and prepare!"
Tian Haoze shouted at Nangong Jingqi's retreating figure.
"Okay, I'll go check it out. You two can continue your secret conversation; it'll be easier for you to talk once I'm gone."
"Sigh! Look, this child is still sulking." Sima Jiaorong shook her head. It wasn't that they didn't want to talk about it, but that they couldn't.
