Hearing the feedback from his system, Jiang Xuan’s face went dark as a board.
By the time this person came in front of him, the System finally provided feedback. Way too unreliable.
He wasn’t blind, did he need feedback at a time like this?
At that moment, seeing Nangong Liu Yun appear, Jiang Xuan’s heart panicked like crazy.
Back when he was stuck in that barrier, he could clearly remember her saying that if he tried to escape, he’d start with three months.
Now seeing Nangong Liu Yun, Jiang Xuan instinctively felt his legs go weak.
On the other side, Nangong Liu Yun moved, leaping right over Nangong Xin Wan and landed in front of Jiang Xuan in an instant.
She immediately started inspecting him.
“Husband, looks like I arrived just in time. Lucky you, you didn’t get hurt.”
As she spoke, Nangong Liu Yun glanced at Nangong Xin Wan, who looked miserable.
“Xin Wan, you owe me an explanation. Why didn’t you contact me using our family’s communication jade when you met your brother-in-law? You even brought him into danger.”
Nangong Xin Wan: “!!!!!”
“Sister, I…”
“Alright, after you return to the Nangong family, bring Mother along, and come back to the Great Jiang Imperial City. My wedding with my husband should be on the schedule. You’ll return just in time for it.”
Hearing this, Nangong Xin Wan’s eyes widened slightly as she froze.
Over on the other side, Nangong Liu Yun scooped up Jiang Xuan without any hesitation.
Before leaving, she decided to say:
“Xin Wan, you’re much stronger now than before. I saw you save someone; keep practicing. I hope that one day, you’ll surpass me completely.”
It wasn’t until Nangong Liu Yun left with Jiang Xuan that Nangong Xin Wan remained there, stunned.
She muttered to herself,
“My sister…actually praised me…can I really surpass her?”
Before her words faded, Mo Han’s voice echoed gently.
“Little girl, your sister has quite the reputation. She seems to have noticed me. I thought if you couldn’t handle those remaining Sky Blue Snakes, I’d protect you and Young Master even if it cost my soul. Turns out, she flattened them with one stroke. Preposterous! Even though she’s only a third-rank Martial Ancestor, her combat power is probably on par with a half-step Martial Saint. I’m even starting to think she might be a reincarnation of some ancient powerhouse. Uh, guess I went off-topic. Good disciple, I don’t mean to discourage you, just stating my assumptions. By the way, what about Young Master? Have you given up on him already? Are you planning to take him back from your sister?”
“I can’t, what can I do then? I used to think my sister was just some spoiled, good-for-nothing. Turns out she’s a deep cover genius and boss. I can still have some confidence facing others, but facing my sister, I feel utterly powerless. She’s too strong, and the only recognized young master of the Nangong family besides me.”
Mo Han: “……”
“Looks like my good disciple’s spirit is breaking down. Not a good sign, there’s nothing left to do. To help you recover, I’ll give you something special.”
“Master, what are you implying?”
“Disciple, do you remember how you felt after the holy-level Secret Realm was transmitted?”
“Ahhh…I think I felt a bit weak or something…”
“That’s right, it’s because you lost part of your memories.”
Nangong Xin Wan: “??????”
With Mo Han’s nudge, Nangong Xin Wan realized it and replied:
“Master, now I recall. After seeing you, I didn’t remember acquiring the legacy or escaping from the Secret Realm.”
“Yes, that part of your memory was sealed by me. Let me help you recover it.”
Mo Han’s remnant spirit emitted a strand of white light toward Nangong Xin Wan’s sea of consciousness.
In the next second, a small portion of memory appeared in Nangong Xin Wan’s mind.
This memory contained only images, no dialogue.
Just these images alone caused a massive impact, instantly making her flush with embarrassment.
“These…these are real? Xuan Brother actually acted so humbly… I did this to him…
Oh, I actually did something like this…”
The memories Mo Han shared were the original experiences that Nangong Xin Wan’s body had gone through, from a first-person perspective.
“Disciple, you remember now, right?
Back then, you passed out from excitement. To prevent any mishaps, I chose to temporarily seal this memory.
Now, with your spirit a bit shattered, I can only help you unlock it again.
Now that you’ve seen the memory, are you ready to make a decision?”
After hearing Mo Han’s question, Nangong Xin Wan’s determination grew.
“Master, I want to become strong…”
“No problem. I understand your resolve. Don’t worry, I’ll train you to be a top-notch fighter.”

On the other end, having passed just half a day later, Nangong Liu Yun brought Jiang Xuan to the Nangong Mansion within the Great Jiang Imperial City.
When Jiang Xuan witnessed Nangong Liu Yun bring him from the imperial city gate to the Nangong Mansion in just around three seconds, only then did he realize he had misunderstood the System.
Such a short-distance teleportation skill couldn’t be blamed on the System for not detecting it in time.
Especially since he hadn’t noticed it either.
At that moment, inside the courtyard,
Nangong Liu Yun smiled at Jiang Xuan.
“Husband, your body has traces of several different types of energy. It looks like you’ve been up to no good while I wasn’t around.
Sigh, must be due to my lack of sufficient care for you. No worries, I will compensate adequately.
Tell me, how was your experience sneaking out of the barrier? Be open, and I promise leniency.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!”
