The moment he said this.
The area below fell deathly silent.
Countless astonished gazes turned toward Nangong Qingtian.
They wanted to confirm whether he was joking or serious.
They had been completely unprepared.
There had been no word of this beforehand.
It was far too sudden.

And Nangong Qingtian had participated in that expedition as well.
Therefore, Nangong Mu'er truly might be Nangong Qingtian's biological daughter.
Their gazes turned toward an elderly man seated at the front.

However, after taking a deep breath, he still chose to reveal it. "Mu'er truly is Qingtian's biological daughter. Back then, because of some... blah blah blah."
As Ling Lieshan recounted certain past events,
