Inside the Nangong Mansion.
Jiang Xuan was brought to a little courtyard.
Then, Nangong Liu Yun activated a communication jade pendant.
“Deputy Pavilion Master Xiao, come see your Pavilion Master. I’ve brought him back; he has something to discuss with you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure appeared in the sky above the Nangong Mansion.
It was none other than Xiao Hong Xin, the Deputy Pavilion Master of Xuantian Pavilion.
Upon seeing Jiang Xuan in the courtyard, her eyes slightly widened, and before she knew it, she rushed right in front of him.
“Pavilion Master, I… I finally see you again…”
As she spoke, Xiao Hong Xin couldn’t help but move forward to embrace Jiang Xuan.
However, Nangong Liu Yun was quicker and hugged Jiang Xuan first, then slowly sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard.
“Deputy Pavilion Master, it’s good to see you. Your Pavilion Master is now my husband…”
At this moment, Xiao Hong Xin’s gaze darkened as she looked at Nangong Liu Yun.
“Pavilion Master, is this marriage something you were forced into by this young master of Nangong? I want to know your true feelings. Your will is the will of everyone in Xuantian Pavilion. Don’t worry, our overall strength has significantly increased. Even if the young master of the Nangong Family is involved, he has no right to force you into marriage.”
Hearing this, Nangong Liu Yun said with interest, “Husband, it seems this Deputy Pavilion Master harbors quite a bit of hostility towards me. And she’s displeased with our upcoming wedding. You better explain it to her.”
Jiang Xuan, who was being held in an embrace, felt a bit uncomfortable, but looking at Xiao Hong Xin in front of him, he finally spoke up:
“Deputy Pavilion Master, long time no see… This marriage is my own wish. From now on, you’ll take full responsibility for the matters of Xuantian Pavilion. Starting now, you are the new Pavilion Master. I… I need to stay by… my wife’s side to serve her… By the way, this storage ring contains a hundred million superior spiritual stones. Consider it my final gift to Xuantian Pavilion…”
Once Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he handed over a storage ring, placing it on the stone table in the courtyard.
The main reason he established Xuantian Pavilion back then was because his cultivation talent was too weak. Jiang Xuan thought, since I can’t improve myself, I might as well create a powerful force to serve as support.
But now, with his current talent, as long as he doesn’t d*e, he will definitely become a top expert.
To Jiang Xuan, Xuantian Pavilion wasn’t as important as it once was. However, he still hoped it would continue to thrive. Maybe when he became a top expert, he could provide for Xuantian Pavilion.
But for now, the best situation would be to leave it entirely to Xiao Hong Xin. After all, she was the Deputy Pavilion Master he trusted the most.
On the other hand, Xiao Hong Xin hesitated, not reaching for the storage ring on the stone table. After hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, she was rooted to the spot, unable to process it.
She couldn’t believe and grasp what was happening. The Pavilion Master, who had always cared for the common folk, was actually abandoning the Xuantian Pavilion he had personally founded.
And the reason for this? To serve a woman? How ridiculous!
The most critical part was… that woman was not her…
Originally, Xiao Hong Xin had treated Nangong Liu Yun with courtesy, all to confirm her own Pavilion Master’s safety before taking action. She believed once she saw the Pavilion Master, he would surely seek the protection of Xuantian Pavilion.
At that point, she would lead the powerful members of Xuantian Pavilion to personally destroy this marriage that should never have happened.
But the result was completely unexpected. The Pavilion Master not only had no intention of seeking protection but even wanted to abdicate.
In that moment, Xiao Hong Xin lost all rational thought, slowly drawing out her long sword.
“It’s impossible! The Pavilion Master would never abandon Xuantian Pavilion. You must have used some kind of trick!”
“Oh? It seems you, Deputy Pavilion Master, have some feelings for my husband that you shouldn’t have. He made it quite clear just a moment ago…”
At that moment, Jiang Xuan quickly interjected:
“Deputy Pavilion Master, I’ve said everything I needed to. Take that storage ring, gather the members of Xuantian Pavilion, and leave the Great Jiang Imperial City. In the future… if fate allows, we will meet again…”
“It’s impossible! Today, I will take you away, Pavilion Master. No one can stop me! Don’t worry, I recently returned to the Divine Martial Dynasty’s Xiao Family and received the Emperor’s legacy. With my current power, no one can stop me from taking you!”
Hearing this, Nangong Liu Yun teased, “Deputy Pavilion Master, you have quite the confidence in your own strength, but at least I’m an exception. You won’t be taking my husband in front of me.”
“Is that so? Then let’s see! I’ve been wanting to find out if the rumored young master of Nangong is really that powerful!”
Just at that moment, Nangong Liu Yun slowly stood up and pulled Jiang Xuan behind her.
“Sigh, I was planning to subdue Xuantian Pavilion altogether, after all, some bad women might come to crash the wedding in a couple of days. The more hands we have, the easier it is to find those bad women and prevent any surprises. But now it seems, Deputy Pavilion Master, you and those bad women can be categorized together.”
As those words left her mouth, Nangong Liu Yun instantly unleashed her sword domain, covering the entire courtyard.
“Husband, wait a moment; this battle will be over quickly.”
At this time, Jiang Xuan ducked to the side, secretly thinking:
“Am I finally going to witness Liu Yun’s true power? Perfect, I need to observe just how big the gap is between us…
Although the System’s scan indicated that Deputy Pavilion Master has broken through to the Martial Master Sixth Realm, and Liu Yun has only advanced to Martial Master First Realm…
Still… somehow Liu Yun feels like she far surpasses the Deputy Pavilion Master.
After all, she mentioned that after breaking through to Martial Master, she awakened memories from a million years ago, and something about a chess player…”
Just as Jiang Xuan pondered how the two of them would battle, the next scene left him completely dumbfounded.
Xiao Hong Xin unreservedly gathered her spiritual power in her long sword. Behind her, a black lotus flower phantom slowly bloomed.
Then, the phantom of the lotus merged into the long sword.
In an instant, Xiao Hong Xin’s figure already appeared before Nangong Liu Yun.
The long sword mingled with terrifying spatial power, slashing toward her opponent.
However, just before that terrifying attack could reach Nangong Liu Yun, Xiao Hong Xin suddenly collapsed to the ground.
On the other side, Nangong Liu Yun skillfully sealed Xiao Hong Xin’s cultivation and stuffed her into a black sack.
With a bewildered expression, Jiang Xuan asked, “Uh… Liu Yun, what… what did you just do? Why did the Deputy Pavilion Master just fall down all of a sudden?”
“Husband, after all, she is your subordinate. If I had used a weapon, she might not have been able to take even one of my moves. If she died, you’d be sad, right? So, I simply gave her a gentle chop.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!!!”
At that moment, Jiang Xuan thought to himself:
“I could slightly see the Deputy Pavilion Master’s move, but I couldn’t even catch Liu Yun’s chop. It seems… there’s no way for the Deputy Pavilion Master to test Liu Yun’s strength…
At this point, it seems Liu Yun is nothing short of a monster.”
…….
When Xiao Hong Xin slowly woke up, she found herself in a dark secret room.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
“Husband, that Deputy Pavilion Master… oh no… I guess she’s the new Pavilion Master of Xuantian Pavilion now. What do you think I should do with her?”
As the voice trailed off, Xiao Hong Xin turned her head toward the sound, only to witness a scene that pushed her to the brink of despair.
