On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!
Chapter 835 Confrontation and Situation
"Thirty-sixth Sister, you went to travel the continent and have been gone for decades. What, are you thinking of coming back today?"
Suddenly, several figures blocked Lin Xuan and the others' path.
The group consisted of four men and two women, with a woman in the lead who bore a slight resemblance to Nangong Qingyi, but whose overall appearance and demeanor were far inferior to Nangong Qingyi's.
Of the other five, four of them look somewhat alike, clearly indicating that they are siblings, probably descendants of Brother Ma and Nangong Douluo.
"Nangong Yu, I don't need to report to you where I go or when I'll be back, right?"
When Nangong Qingyi faced her half-sister, she didn't mince words.
Nangong Yu wasn't angry; she was clearly used to Nangong Qingyi like this.
However, the people behind Nangong Yu were not so good-natured.
"Nangong Qingyi, show some respect for her. This is your older sister!"
Nangong Xiang pointed at Nangong Qingyi and shouted.
"Heh, what? Nangong Xiang, you want to teach me a lesson too?"
Nangong Qingyi looked at Nangong Xiang coldly.
Nangong Xiang was about to say something when Nangong Yu stopped him.
"Hehe, Nangong Qingyi, your mother has been dead for a hundred years. You'd better listen to your elder brother and get married. That's the best place for you."
Looking at Nangong Qingyi's face, Nangong Yu felt a deep jealousy in her eyes.
Although everyone's faces have a slight resemblance, it's clear to anyone with eyes that Nangong Qingyi's appearance is far superior to Nangong Yu's.
Nangong Yu said nothing on the surface, but she was extremely jealous.
Nangong Qingyi's mother was chosen by her father because of her stunning beauty, and then gave birth to Nangong Qingyi, who was even more beautiful than her mother, truly a case of the student surpassing the teacher.
"You're already thinking of kicking me out as soon as I get back? Twenty-one, you really are my good sister."
Nangong Qingyi was not angry at Nangong Yu's mockery, but only coldly retorted.
Nangong Yu narrowed her eyes slightly; she could clearly sense that Nangong Qingyi seemed different.
At this moment, the group also noticed Lin Xuan and his companions standing behind Nangong Qingyi.
"Nangong Qingyi, what's going on? Are you bringing all sorts of shady characters into my Nangong family? What should we do if they are spies from opposing forces?"
As Nangong Yu's loyal follower, Nangong Yin immediately stepped forward to accuse Nangong Qingyi of being a traitor.
Nangong Qingyi gave a disdainful sneer.
"Nangong Yin, you truly live up to your name, Yin Yin Yin, it's utterly despicable! Besides licking people's boots, what else can you do?!"
Nangong Qingyi's words were like a sharp thorn piercing Nangong Yin's heart.
However, Nangong Qingyi was right. Although Nangong Yin's appearance was not bad, she was not outstanding among the Nangong disciples. Her face even looked somewhat harsh, which is why Nangong Douluo didn't care about this daughter at all.
Nangong Yin was also very self-aware, knowing that he was not favored by his father, so he immediately became Nangong Yu's lackey. Among his brothers and sisters, Nangong Yu was considered one of the more favored ones.
Nangong Yin's boss, Nangong Yu, immediately defended Nangong Yin angrily.
"Nangong Qingyi, Nangong Yin is still your sister. How can you talk to your sister like that? Where is your manners? As a member of the Nangong family, your words are truly unbecoming!"
"Manners? I'm sorry, I can't talk about manners with you guys."
After Nangong Qingyi finished speaking, she was about to lead Lin Xuan and the others to take a detour.
Lin Xuan remained silent throughout, not because he didn't support Nangong Qingyi.
Instead, from beginning to end, Nangong Qingyi seemed to have the upper hand, verbally suppressing his older sisters and brothers.
Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi, who was so sharp, and felt a little curious. He didn't expect that the usually gentle Nangong Qingyi would have such a strong side. It was quite a contrast.
Nangong Yu and the others were clearly unwilling to let Nangong Qingyi and the others leave just like that, and continued to block them.
"What? Are you planning to attack us?"
Nangong Qingyi looked coldly at Nangong Yu. They had never gotten along before, and now she was even more annoying.
"Hehe, how could I possibly lay a hand on you, my little sister? Otherwise, it would break the rules of our Nangong family. As your older sister, I am very clear about these rules."
Nangong Yu looked at Nangong Qingyi with a cold smile.
Although he was favored, fighting was forbidden within the family, and there was also a rule that siblings were forbidden from killing each other.
If Nangong Yu were to attack Nangong Qingyi here, he would be violating two major rules of the Nangong family, which would be severely punished. Although Nangong Yu disliked Nangong Qingyi, he would not take the risk of attacking her here.
But Lin Xuan and his group were different.
“These people are not from our Nangong family. As the elder sister, it is my duty to eliminate danger for the family. I will interrogate these people!”
Nangong Yu revealed his true intentions, pointing coldly at Lin Xuan and the others.
As soon as Nangong Yu finished speaking, Nangong Xiang, Nangong Wei, and Nangong Shan immediately surrounded Lin Xuan and his group.
From beginning to end, Nangong Yu's target was always Lin Xuan and his group.
Since these people were brought back to the family by her good younger sister, it's enough to show that they are quite important to her. If they were captured and tortured by these people, it would be a heavy blow to her!
"You dare!?"
Nangong Qingyi immediately stood in front of Lin Xuan, her eyes fixed on Nangong Yu.
Seeing the angry look in Nangong Qingyi's eyes, Nangong Yu became even more determined in her mind, and the smug look on her face became even more pronounced.
"This is the Nangong family home, not some random street or alley where you can come and go as you please. You must not disobey the rules of our Nangong family, little sister."
Nangong Yu walked slowly toward Nangong Qingyi, each step seeming to tread on Nangong Qingyi's dignity.
Nangong Qingyi gripped her soft hand tightly, wishing she could rush up and fight Nangong Yu immediately.
Lin Xuan suddenly reached out and gently grabbed Nangong Qingyi's shoulder.
As Nangong Qingyi felt the warmth emanating from Lin Xuan's hand, her body, which had been trembling with anger, gradually calmed down.
"The Nangong family doesn't allow outsiders to enter, but we shouldn't be considered outsiders, right?"
Lin Xuan stepped forward and walked to Nangong Qingyi's side, a mysterious smile on his lips.
Nangong Yu couldn't see through Lin Xuan, but she didn't think much of it.
How strong can a guy be, if he can get entangled with his own sister?
"What? You're all surnamed Nangong too?!"
Nangong Yu glanced at Lin Xuan and his group of five, a hint of smugness and mockery deep in his eyes.
"This person doesn't seem to be from your Nangong family, does he?"
Lin Xuan pointed to a man next to him and said.
Lin Xuan could sense that the blood in this person was very different from that of the other members of the Nangong family, clearly indicating that they were not from the same family.
The person Lin Xuan pointed at had a smug look on his face. He slowly took a step forward and stood next to Nangong Yu, very close to him.
Nangong Yu also took the opportunity to reach out and put her arm around the man's arm.
"Thirty-sixth Sister, let me introduce you. This is my Daoist partner, Chen Yiheng. He is currently at the Third Tribulation Celestial Immortal Realm. Father will officiate our wedding."
Nangong Yu proudly introduced his Daoist partner to him.
Chen Yiheng also involuntarily raised his head, and his eyes revealed a hint of arrogance that he did not try to hide.
Nangong Yu was proud that his Daoist partner was a genius who had already reached the Three Tribulations Celestial Immortal Realm before the age of 50,000. At this rate, reaching the Golden Immortal Realm was highly possible, which was enough to demonstrate his excellence and unique vision.
Chen Yiheng was proud that although he didn't come from a very good family, he managed to marry into the Nangong family through his own efforts and become the Nangong family's son-in-law. Power, status, women, and resources all came to him.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qingyi merely gave a forced smile. While the Three Tribulations Celestial Immortal Realm was indeed impressive, compared to those around her, it was like the difference between a beggar and a prince—utterly incomparable.
Even now, Nangong Qingyi is unaware that Lin Xuan has successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal realm.
"That settles it then. If the son-in-law of the Nangong family can enter the Nangong family, then Lin Xuan can certainly do the same!"
Nangong Qingyi skillfully took Lin Xuan's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
Lin Xuan then took the opportunity to put his arm around Nangong Qingyi.
Tianjue and Roger, standing behind him, were already used to this; it was a secret that wasn't really a secret.
Huang Rui and Huang Yimei exchanged a glance. Their guess was actually true: the fairy in green had indeed become a Daoist couple with Senior Lin Xuan.
“That’s right, Lin Xuan is the Daoist partner I chose. Of course I can bring him here, sister. What’s wrong with that?”
Nangong Qingyi looked at Nangong Yu and curled her lips into a slightly provocative smile.
Nangong Yu squinted, and through the narrowed slits, a sharp glint shot out.
"What about the rest of them?!"
Nangong Yin pointed at Tianjue and the others and roared.
"I am the son-in-law's servant."
Roger was the first to stand up and speak.
"I'm just one of the son-in-law's servants," Tianjue immediately replied.
Huang Rui and Huang Yimei exchanged a glance and spoke in unison:
"We are the new recruits from our seniors."
In this way, they all have an identity.
Chen Yiheng looked at Nangong Qingyi, a mixture of amazement and lewdness flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that this legendary fairy in green would have such a beautiful face and such an outstanding temperament; seeing her in person truly makes all the difference.
While Nangong Yu beside him was indeed a great beauty, she paled in comparison to Nangong Qingyi.
Of course, Chen Yiheng felt much better when he thought about Nangong Yu's considerable status in the Nangong family. What use is being good-looking if you're not favored in the Nangong family? That means you have no status, power, or resources.
"Little sister, you're really something, finding a random guy outside so easily. What, aren't you angry enough with Father already?!"
Nangong Yu carefully examined Lin Xuan. He was good-looking and had a decent temperament, but his cultivation level seemed to be quite average.
After arriving at the Nangong family, Lin Xuan did not want to be too conspicuous. After all, it would be easy for a Golden Immortal to cause unnecessary misunderstandings if he came to the Nangong family. Therefore, Lin Xuan directly hid his cultivation level at the Third Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm, a level that was neither too high nor too low.
The Earth Immortal Realm is not considered a high level within the Nangong family.
"So you're allowed to find men, but I'm not allowed to find a Daoist partner?"
Nangong Qingyi retorted without hesitation, and before Nangong Yu could reply, she immediately continued:
"Now that my explanation is clear enough, can you please move aside?"
Nangong Qingyi walked up to Nangong Yu without fear and asked the question without any politeness.
"Yes, of course!"
Nangong Yu was indeed helpless against Nangong Qingyi at this moment. If they were outside, he could kill Nangong Qingyi and the others and dump their bodies in the wilderness without anyone knowing. However, within the Nangong family, their actions could not escape the watchful eyes of the family's holy spirit.
Nangong Qingyi took Lin Xuan's hand and walked around Nangong Yu and the others to the left.
Tianjue, Roger, and the others immediately followed behind.
"Oh, right, Thirty-Six Sister."
Nangong Yu suddenly spoke again.
Nangong Qingyi turned around and looked at Nangong Yu.
"It's really a coincidence that you've come back. Eldest brother and third sister are back, and they're planning a family banquet just for us brothers and sisters, our partners, and our children. It's scheduled for half a month from now. You absolutely have to come."
Nangong Yu glanced coldly at Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi, then left with Chen Yiheng and the others.
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head. These so-called Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals in the Immortal Realm may have lived for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, but their temperaments may not necessarily be as profound as those in the mortal realm who have lived for thousands of years.
These people really can't keep their tempers to themselves.
That makes sense. In the Immortal Realm, a few hundred years might just be a matter of going into seclusion. Although they live for tens of thousands of years, most of that time is probably spent cultivating and in seclusion.
"It seems your situation in the Nangong family is worse than I imagined."
Lin Xuan and Nangong Qingyi walked side by side, Lin Xuan smiling as he looked at Nangong Qingyi.
Nangong Qingyi pouted and sighed helplessly.
"There's nothing I can do about it. My mother's status was just average, and she didn't have any siblings. Plus, she's already passed away, so my position in the Nangong family has naturally become very awkward. Especially Nangong Yu, she's always liked to compete with me since she was little, and she won't let go of any opportunity to hurt me."
As Nangong Qingyi spoke, she shook her head helplessly.
Lin Xuan roughly understood Nangong Qingyi's situation.
But it's not too bad.
Although Nangong Douluo may show favoritism, he sets very strict rules. Conflicts are inevitable everywhere, so at least he will hold back, which is still relatively good.
"Do I need to accompany you to the family banquet in two weeks?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile, looking at Nangong Qingyi.
"of course yes."
"Then you have to make it up to me."
"……it is good."
