On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!
Chapter 836 Conspiracy, Family Feast
"I heard that Nangong Qingyi brought a man back with her this time, is that right?"
Inside a main hall of the Nangong family, more than thirty people sat together, including Nangong Yu and Nangong Yin.
Nangong Yu remained silent, but Nangong Yin, being his lackey, immediately sneered.
"That bitch Nangong Qingyi used tricks to seduce the Seventh Prince back then. Humph, what a despicable woman who willingly fell into depravity!"
Nangong Yin's attitude represents Nangong Yu's attitude.
Everyone knew that Nangong Yu disliked Nangong Qingyi; to put it bluntly, she was jealous.
The group of over thirty people was led by a man named Nangong Jue, the eleventh among his siblings in the Nangong family. He possessed the strength of a Celestial Immortal and enjoyed high prestige among his brothers and sisters.
Nangong Jue was indeed a man of great skill. Although his maternal clan was of average strength and not particularly favored by the clan leader, he still managed to win over many of his brothers and sisters with his extraordinary personal charm, who were willing to serve him wholeheartedly.
Nangong Jue sat in the main seat, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Yin'er, Qingyi is our younger sister after all. It's not appropriate to say certain things like that."
Nangong Yu was somewhat displeased by Nangong Jue's words.
Nangong Jue sensed something was wrong and immediately changed his story:
"Of course, as the older brother, I strongly disagree with some of Nangong Qingyi's actions, but as brothers and sisters, we can't fight each other. How about this, in half a month, at the family banquet hosted by the eldest brother and third sister, let's test the level of the man Nangong Qingyi brought back."
Nangong Jue's words softened Nangong Yu's expression considerably.
She didn't want to hear anyone say a good word about that bitch Nangong Qingyi, not a single word!
Nangong Jue was furious inside, but on the surface he still had to maintain his persona, appearing gentle and refined.
“Then let’s try the man next to Nangong Qingyi in half a month. Isn’t Nangong Qingyi very discerning? Let’s see what kind of man he brought back this time.”
"Hehe, I wonder where Nangong Qingyi found that wild man. He's probably only at the level of a Third Tribulation Earth Immortal."
Sitting next to Nangong Yu, Chen Yiheng crossed his arms and spoke casually, his words brimming with a sense of superiority.
If it were my former self, even with the strength of a Celestial Immortal, I would still have to treat these members of the Nangong family's main branch, who were at the Earth Immortal or even Profound Immortal level, with utmost respect.
But now he doesn't need to do that at all. He can talk to them on equal terms, and because of Nangong Yu's favor, he can even look down on many people when he speaks.
"Oh? Brother Chen, has he revealed his level of skill?"
Nangong Jue looked at Chen Yiheng and asked.
Everyone else also looked at Chen Yiheng.
At this moment, Chen Yiheng became the focus of the entire event.
Chen Yiheng remained expressionless, but inwardly he was extremely pleased with himself.
"Yes, I encountered their group with Yu'er earlier. When we got close to that wild man, I sensed the power in his body. It was at most at the level of a third-tribulation earth immortal, nothing to worry about."
Chen Yiheng waved his hand, extremely confident.
After all, among the more than thirty people present, there were only four people at the Celestial Immortal Realm, and Chen Yiheng was one of them.
Nangong Jue breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this. He didn't want to offend a powerful figure. If it was just a mere Earth Immortal, then offending him wouldn't be a problem.
"In that case, let's wait until the family dinner and find a reason to properly humiliate that guy."
"agree."
"I couldn't be happier to have this kind of fun."
"Haha, that's fantastic! This is going to be a good show."
"..."
Lin Xuan followed Nangong Qingyi back to Nangong Qingyi's detached courtyard.
Although it's called a small courtyard, it's practically a miniature palace, with an enormous area. In the Tianyuan Small World, only the most famous and powerful forces on the continent would have such a large territory.
As for its exact size, Lin Xuan was too lazy to measure it, but he roughly estimated that the courtyard was several miles apart from north to south.
The courtyard has everything, including all the internal organs!
"Wow, is this your room, Sister Qingyi? It's practically a palace!"
Huang Yimei and Huang Rui looked around, their eyes widening at the sight of this so-called small courtyard.
"Hehe, as expected of the Nangong family, the number one clan in the Haori Immortal Realm, they truly live up to their reputation."
Tianjue couldn't help but gasp when he saw the material of the stone table in the courtyard.
That stone table could be exchanged for 100,000 source stones!
This kind of extravagance is utterly devoid of humanity.
"It seems your situation is better than I thought."
Lin Xuan looked at the so-called "courtyard" and said to Nangong Qingyi with a wry smile.
Nangong Qingyi simply smiled and shook her head, then slowly stood up.
"These are all useless things. I can't sell the things in the courtyard. As for the size of the courtyard, it's not of much reference value. Besides, my courtyard is only considered average in the Nangong family. If you have the chance, you can go and see the courtyards of my eldest brother Nangong Changhe or my third sister Nangong Qingqiu to see what a real palace is like."
Nangong Qingyi brought out a bowl of sliced immortal fruit from the room and placed it on the stone table.
"Everyone, have a taste. This is something I left here a hundred years ago. I forgot to take it with me, so everyone can try it."
Nangong Qingyi smiled and waved her hand.
Upon receiving the signal, everyone slowly sat down.
"It's all thanks to Sister Qingyi."
Huang Rui and Huang Yimei were only at the True Immortal Realm level, so the effect of this immortal fruit on them was obvious. After putting two pieces into their mouths, they felt their bodies filled with Origin Qi, as if they were about to break through!
"Huang Rui's realm was originally at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, not far from the Profound Immortal Realm. After eating these few pieces of immortal fruit, it seems that he is close enough and should prepare for his breakthrough."
Lin Xuan looked at Huang Rui and said.
Huang Rui felt incredibly excited. He had been stuck at a certain realm for hundreds of years, and he was about to break through just because of two slices cut from a celestial fruit.
“I do have a secluded place in my courtyard. I’ll have someone take you there. You can break through to your goal with peace of mind in our Nangong family. No one will disturb you.”
Nangong Qingyi smiled and raised her hand. Several beautiful maids came over and immediately led Huang Rui toward the secret chamber where he had broken through.
Huang Yimei is almost at the late stage of the True Immortal Realm. If she follows the steps steadily, she should be able to break through to the peak of the True Immortal Realm in about half a year.
"At the family banquet in half a month, without a doubt, Nangong Yu will target me, or rather, target us."
Nangong Qingyi spoke very directly, knowing all too well just how insanely jealous her older sister was of her.
"Your Nangong family even has this kind of family banquet?"
Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi.
Nangong Qingyi shook her head.
"These family banquets are all random. This time it should be because my eldest brother and third sister have returned. They are both the pride of our Nangong family. This time, the family banquet was probably arranged by our father to encourage us brothers and sisters to cultivate immortality."
Nangong Qingyi saw things very clearly and quickly figured things out.
"Your eldest brother and your third sister, it seems that neither of them are simple characters."
Although they are only Nangong Qingyi's eldest brother and third sister, they might be hundreds of thousands of years older than Nangong Qingyi.
After all, Nangong Douluo is a well-known stud in the entire Haori Immortal Realm, and he recently had another son.
"My eldest brother is named Nangong Yang. He is hundreds of thousands of years old. I don't know his exact age because I have only seen him a few times in all this time. He is not in Haori Immortal Domain most of the time."
"As for my third sister, her name is Nangong Yue. I don't have much interaction with her. I only know that she and my eldest brother are not in Haori Immortal Domain most of the time."
Nangong Qingyi had no feelings for her eldest brother and third sister, and they were not much different from strangers; at most, there was only a slight bond of blood.
However, for cultivators, this kind of blood ties is the least reliable and meaningless.
"Not in the Haori Immortal Realm? Did you go to cultivate in another, more powerful immortal realm?"
Lin Xuan noticed this.
Within the Hao Ri Immortal Realm, the Nangong family is already considered a leading power, and the talented disciples of the Nangong family must have enjoyed the best resources and guidance in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm.
However, Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue went to other immortal realms, which means that there are better opportunities and resources there.
"Yes, that's right. My eldest brother, Nangong Yang, went to the nearest Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and joined the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, becoming a core disciple with a very high status. My third sister, on the other hand, went to the Eight Immortal Sects of the Eight Immortal Realms and is said to be a steward of one of them."
Nangong Qingyi said this.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly; everything about the Immortal Realm was completely unfamiliar to him.
Lin Xuan had never heard of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace and the Eight Immortal Sects before.
Nangong Qingyi had clearly considered this point as well, and immediately continued to explain:
"The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is extremely famous throughout the Immortal Realm. Their Palace Master is a super powerhouse known as the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor. The Eight Immortal Sects are not much different. The Eight Immortal Emperors once had the feat of fighting three Evil Emperors alone, which is extremely terrifying. These two Immortal Sects are both first-class sects in the Immortal Realm."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. No wonder these two wanted to leave the Nangong family. After all, it was a force established by a Celestial Emperor-level expert, which was naturally several levels higher than the Nangong family.
The difference between a Celestial Emperor and a Celestial King is like heaven and earth. Even someone as powerful as Nangong Jie, the ancestor of the Nangong family, would have to kneel if he encountered a Celestial Emperor.
"It seems that your eldest brother and third sister really do have some strength."
Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Nangong Qingyi curled her lips upon hearing this.
“I’m not familiar with my eldest brother or my third sister at all. My eldest brother has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and is not very familiar with any of us brothers and sisters. But my third sister is different. She is more familiar with Nangong Yu’s mother and doesn’t get along with me. I’m afraid she will target me this time I’m back.”
Nangong Qingyi felt helpless; this was the result of having no one to rely on in the Nangong family.
If Nangong Yue really wanted to target her, she, a mere Earth Immortal, could only endure it.
After all, Nangong Yue possessed the strength of a Golden Immortal, which was two whole realms higher than her.
"I see, but it's okay, I'm here, she can't bully you."
Lin Xuan held Nangong Qingyi's soft hand and comforted her with a smile.
Looking at Lin Xuan, Nangong Qingyi felt a sudden surge of security.
"Then I'll have to rely on you to protect me."
Nangong Qingyi winked at Lin Xuan.
"Let's wait half a month. I'll take this opportunity to witness the family banquet of your Nangong family."
Lin Xuan stood up with a smile, a calm expression on his face.
half a month later.
Time flies, and time seems to pass even faster in the Immortal Realm.
For a cultivator, a seclusion can easily last for several years, so a few days really doesn't feel like much time; it might just pass by in the blink of an eye.
The Nangong family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations today. The two prides of the Nangong family have returned, so naturally, a grand celebration is in order.
Lin Xuan had prepared well in advance and participated in the Nangong family banquet together with Nangong Qingyi.
Tianjue and the others stayed at the accommodations that Nangong Qingyi had found for them, since their identities were not suitable for participating in this Nangong family banquet.
Nangong Qingyi brought Lin Xuan to the scene, where hundreds of people had already gathered.
More than half of them are the children of Nangong Jie, this stallion.
“I can tell from this that your father really liked having children. If I count them roughly, he must have had sixty or seventy.”
Lin Xuan looked at the crowd and said to Nangong Qingyi with a smile.
"My father is good in every way, except that his womanizing behavior is notorious throughout the entire Hao Ri Immortal Realm. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only a few people involved. Some of my father's children have died, some were too young to participate, and some of his brothers and sisters did not return to the Nangong family. Otherwise, I think there would be twice as many people involved!"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at Nangong Qingyi's words. It seemed that Nangong Jie was indeed a complete child-creating robot.
"Brothers and sisters, is everyone here?!"
Suddenly a voice came, and a tall figure appeared above, his body filled with the power of Origin Qi, making him unfathomable.
"This is my older brother; he's truly a remarkable person."
Nangong Qingyi didn't look at Lin Xuan, but she was introducing him to him verbally.
"Hehehe, big brother, you've really arrived too early."
Another figure descended upon the plaza; this person was none other than the Third Miss, Nangong Yue.
"Third sister, you're late. Consider it a punishment to drink a cup."
Nangong Yang looked at Nangong Yue and said with a smile that was not polite at all.
Without any hesitation, Nangong Yue picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother, drinking is too easy for me. Let's try something else instead."
