Yang Tianni

Seeing the stunningly beautiful White Clad Woman proactively invite Qin Guan, everyone seemed to suddenly understand something.

Anyone with eyes could tell tonight that the White Clad Woman was the real Big Shot. Since she had proactively invited Qin Guan, she clearly knew him, and their relationship was obviously far from ordinary.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had agreed to Qin Guan's terms entirely because of that White Clad Woman.

On the Other Side, the two walked for a while before stopping. The White Clad Woman smiled at Qin Guan. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Lianyue."

Qin Guan nodded. "Does Miss Jiang need something?"

"I would like to cooperate with Young Master Qin." Jiang Lianyue went straight to the point.

"Cooperate? For what?" Qin Guan frowned.

Jiang Lianyue said, "Has Young Master Qin heard of Yang Tianni?"

At those three words, Qin Guan's expression shifted. "Miss Jiang knows this Senior?"

Jiang Lianyue nodded. "Five days from now, an Ancient Secret Realm will emerge in Myriad Monster Valley. According to the information I have, this Secret Realm is very likely connected to Yang Tianni."

Hearing Jiang Lianyue's words, Qin Guan immediately grew excited inside.

He had heard his Master mention Yang Tianni before. This man was an extraordinary figure who cultivated both sword and martial arts, the only Martial Cultivator in tens of thousands of years who could cultivate the Sword Dao without a Dantian.

It was said that he had created a unique cultivation technique that allowed one to gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and cultivate even without a Dantian.

Sword Dao!

This was the pinnacle of martial arts Qin Guan had dreamed of since childhood. Influenced by his Master, he had always wanted to become a Sword Dao Strong Expert who stood above heaven and earth like his Master.

To roam beyond heaven and earth, to travel mountains and rivers afar—who would not wish to ride a sword through the skies, free and unrestrained? Yet he had been born without a Dantian and could only be a miserable Martial Cultivator stuck to the ground.

Over the years, his Master had continually searched for traces of Yang Tianni, hoping Qin Guan could obtain Yang Tianni's martial inheritance and cultivate the Sword Dao. But the years were too distant. Yang Tianni had vanished without a trace more than twenty thousand years ago, leaving behind not even the slightest clue.

When Jiang Lianyue had mentioned Yang Tianni just now, Qin Guan had truly been stirred.

Seeing Qin Guan's moved expression, Jiang Lianyue continued:

"Many forces have already learned of this matter. That is why I wish to cooperate with Young Master Qin and explore the Secret Realm together. As for the treasures, we can each rely on our own fortune when the time comes. What do you think?"

Qin Guan nodded after hearing this. "Sure."

"Young Master Qin, do not publicize our cooperation for now. When the time comes, we may be able to catch the various forces off guard."

"Mm, understood." Qin Guan nodded.

"Young Master Qin, may I ask you a question?" Jiang Lianyue asked with a slight lift of her Beautiful Eyes and a smile.

"Go ahead," Qin Guan said.

"With your strength, why would you come to such a tiny Nan Family to become a live-in son-in-law?"

"Do not misunderstand, Young Master. I am simply curious!"

"Fate." After thinking for a moment, Qin Guan gave those two words.

Hearing this, Jiang Lianyue glanced at Nan Rou in the distance and found that Nan Rou was looking at her as well. However, Nan Rou soon lowered her head.

"Your fiancée is very beautiful." Jiang Lianyue laughed softly and turned to leave.

Soon after, the people from Heavenly Treasure Pavilion followed her away.

Qin Guan, meanwhile, turned back.

Seeing Qin Guan approach, Nan Shunda suddenly came forward with a smiling face.

"Haha, as expected of the Nan Family's son-in-law! Not only is your strength outstanding, but your connections are extraordinary as well!"

Nan Yuantong hurriedly nodded too.

"Indeed! With just a slight move, you earned our Nan Family a hundred bottles of Qi Refining Powder. Now our Clan Members will no longer lack Cultivation Resources!"

"Heh."

Qin Guan gave a contemptuous laugh and glanced at the two as though they were idiots.

Nan Shunda and Nan Yuantong smiled awkwardly.

Qin Guan walked up to Nan Rou, then took her hand and led her toward Nan Yunqi and Yang Hongmei. "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, it is getting late. We will head back first."

"Haha, walk slowly!" Nan Yunqi threw back his head and laughed, his smile incomparably bright.

"Yes, yes, the roads are hard to see at night. Walk slowly!"

Yang Hongmei's gaze darted away. All her former arrogance and disdain had vanished, replaced by a face full of shame and fear.

"Mm." Qin Guan nodded and left with Nan Rou.

Watching the two figures in the distance, hand in hand and pressed close together, Nan Qiao bit her red lips lightly.

In terms of appearance, she did not think herself inferior to Nan Rou. In terms of talent, Nan Rou was far beneath her. Since childhood, she had always looked down on Nan Rou.

A sickly weakling with a timid nature who never dared say no had now been reborn, and had even found the man of her dreams, a man whose eyes were filled only with her.

And that man of her dreams was the very man who had once been engaged to Nan Qiao, the man she had discarded like trash.

As she thought on it, Nan Qiao suddenly laughed at herself. She raised her head and Looked At the Starry Sky. When she saw the stars filling the sky and the bright moon hanging among them, her eyes suddenly brightened, as though she had gained some insight.

Stars and the bright moon!

One's gaze had to reach farther; one could not let the fog before one's eyes throw one's mind into chaos. So what if he was a Third Realm Martial Cultivator? Martial Cultivators were destined to find it difficult to attain Righteous Fruit, and their futures were shrouded in mist!

Yet she possessed a rare Special Physique and limitless potential. One day, she would surely become someone these people could only look up to.

At this thought, Nan Qiao's entire body trembled. Then, with firm steps, she turned and left.

At this moment, Nan Shunda and Nan Yuantong moved close to Nan Yunqi, intending to say something. Yet Nan Yunqi did not give a damn about them. He snorted coldly and turned away.
