1933 Inscription
All kinds of voices sounded. It seemed that everyone was angry and resentful about this matter and wished they could go to Peach Blossom Dock immediately to take revenge.
However, was that really the case?
Nan Yifan lowered his eyes to hide the sneer in them.
He knew these people too well. On the surface, they looked like they shared a common enemy, but in fact, some people might already be overjoyed!
Nan Yiyi’s death didn’t have a huge impact, but Nan Yuxing was also dead! This time, there was no suitable candidate in Nan Yifan’s lineage who could become the heir of the Nan family!
The Nan family seemed to be harmonious, but the competition between the branches was intense. A few years ago, it was only because of Nan Yuxing’s outstanding talent and Nan Yifan’s strength that the situation was stabilized.
But it was different now. Nan Yuxing was dead, and Nan Yifan was visibly haggard.
His grief was so great that it almost broke him.
He couldn’t spare so much attention to other things, but he didn’t want to care anymore.
So much had happened recently. One blow after another had almost crushed him.
Everyone thought that he was grieving because he had lost two beloved children. Who knew the true torture in his heart?
He had paid such a huge price and even personally sent Nan Yiyi to her death in exchange for Nan Yuxing’s life.
What happened in the end? Not long after, he died at Peach Blossom Dock!
Nan Yifan knew that many of these people below had ulterior motives, but he could no longer be bothered. The only thing he wanted to do now was take revenge!
I will definitely make Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue pay with their lives! Anyway, I have nothing to lose. Why should I be so afraid of them?
He nodded. “Then, the blood debt and reputation of the Nan family will depend on you this time!”
…
The meeting quickly ended.
Only Nan Yifan was left in the huge room.
Nan Hetian walked over and said worriedly, “Master, it’s late. You haven’t closed your eyes for a few days and nights. You should rest first.”
Previously, Nan Yifan had rushed to the Yi family overnight and asked him to stand guard here. He thought Nan Yifan would stay there for a few days, but the latter returned quickly.
Calculating the time, Nan Yifan had only stayed in the Yi family for a few hours. After returning, he didn’t even have time to catch his breath before summoning everyone from his clan to discuss this matter. He had decided to suppress Peach Blossom Dock!
Even an iron man couldn’t withstand such continuous torture!
Nan Yifan shook his head. “I can’t sleep.”
The moment he closed his eyes, Nan Yiyi’s appearance before she died and Nan Yuxing’s face would appear in his mind.
These images kept flashing in his mind like sharp blades stabbing into his heart again and again, dripping with blood. How could he sleep?
Nan Hetian sighed.
He had followed Nan Yifan for many years and knew him the best. Although Nan Yifan hadn’t explicitly mentioned this matter to him, he could more or less guess.
Nan Hetian paused for a moment and comforted him. “Don’t worry. Although that person isn’t to be trifled with, since the Yi family is willing to help this time, our chances of winning are still not small…”
Nan Yifan’s lips suddenly twitched. His expression was stiff but ironic. Yes, we’re not to be trifled with!
The Nan family members are either dead or injured this time. The combined efforts of several legendary warriors were actually annihilated. Not a single person has escaped yet. They haven’t even been able to send back any news. One can imagine what kind of situation Luo Yan and the others are in at Peach Blossom Dock!
This—this is Rong Xiu’s warning to me!
In the past, he wouldn’t have taken things so hard and fought Rong Xiu head-on. But now, he really had no choice.
“At this point, even if we don’t make a move, he won’t let us off.”
Most people in the Nan family didn’t know that Nan Yifan was actually very afraid of Rong Xiu. In their opinion, although Rong Xiu was somewhat famous, he was only the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace.
They had nothing to fear from a first-rate family.
Nan Yifan deliberately didn’t say so much because the more they knew, the more they would definitely worry.
Nan Hetian’s frown deepened. He was actually very worried, but just as Nan Yifan had said, they had no way out now.
“I wonder how Luo Yan and the others are doing…”
Nan Yifan frowned. This was actually what he was worried about.
If Luo Yan and the others were instigated to defect and said something they shouldn’t have, it would be very disadvantageous to them.
If the Nan family knew the truth… they would definitely not let him off. At that time, his situation would probably be even more difficult.
Not only would he not be able to take revenge, but he would also be implicated.
Apart from that, he was also worried about the Flying Cloud Painting.
Nan Yuxing was dead. That thing was most likely in Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue’s hands!
Thinking of this, Nan Yifan felt even worse.
“You can go down first. I’ll be alone.” He waved his hands.
Nan Hetian opened his mouth but hesitated.
Seeing Nan Yifan’s tired and haggard expression, he finally lowered his head. “Yes.”
He stepped back and quietly left.
Nan Yifan let out a long breath. Now, I can only hope that everything will go smoothly.
…
Peach Blossom Dock.
At Yue Manor.
The cool moonlight flowed in through the window.
Chu Liuyue was standing alone in the room. In front of her, the black shield floated quietly.
After the previous baptism, the rust on it had completely peeled off, revealing its bright and new appearance.
The complicated and mysterious inscriptions on it exuded some ancient aura.
It was still dark and dull, but it looked deeper and heavier. It was very hard to describe such a feeling, but she could indeed feel the huge difference.
After the blue crystals fused into it, they quickly hid.
At this moment, other than the dense and complicated secret text, she couldn’t see anything else.
She stared at the secret text for a long time.
It was so quiet that she could clearly hear her heart beating. There seemed to be waves surging in the depths of her clear and bright eyes.
After a long moment, she reached out and slowly brushed her hand across the black shield.
An indescribable throbbing came from it.
“Celestial Shield…” muttered Chu Liuyue softly.
As if sensing something, light flashed under the inscriptions on the black shield in front of her.
Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly.
That day, after the last blue crystal was perfectly embedded in this shield, this name appeared in her mind.
This thing had followed her for years, but only now did she know its real name.
She had read countless ancient books, but she had never heard of this name. However, this wasn’t what Chu Liuyue cared about the most.
At this moment, what made her feel complicated was the inscription on it because… When she completely saw the inscription, she realized that her previous notebook used the same language!
