Chapter 1162: Chapter 1151: Ninth Great Aunt – Nalan Jiuhuang
“Yes, Family Head.”
The mbers of the Nalan family seed sowhat reluctant, but they still obeyed the command and retreated.
After they left, the Nalan Family Head imdiately walked out of the back door, entering a serene small courtyard.
Birdsong filled the air, surrounded by pavilions and terraces. Although not large, the facilities were complete, like a classic ancient garden.
Colorful koi fish swam around in a clear small pond, happily wagging their tails.
Coupled with the unique vegetation around, the air was fresh, making it seem that those living here must be extraordinary figures like immortals.
As soon as the Nalan Family Head entered the courtyard, his expression beca extrely solemn, respectfully calling out loudly, “Nalan Family’s descendant Family Head, requesting to see Aunt Nine!”
“…”
However, there was no sound from the room at the back of the courtyard, as if nobody was living there.
“Requesting to see Aunt Nine!”
Yet, the Nalan Family Head showed no impatience, calling out loudly once again.
“Such noise!”
Perhaps the woman living here was annoyed and shouted sharply.
Next, the door to the room opened, gracefully stepping out was a woman dressed in classical attire.
It was none other than the Nalan Family Head’s Aunt Nine, Nalan Yanfeng’s Granny Nine—Nalan Jiuhuang.
Nalan Jiuhuang!
She was truly the treasured figure of the Nalan family.
This woman looked as if a charming young matron, her lips red, teeth white, and facial features delicate. Her phoenix eyes were bright and piercing, her nose elegant, her lips crimson, and her forehead flawless. Despite her beauty, there was a coldness to her, further enhanced by her bright red classical attire like a distant Princess, with the ability to command kingdoms with her re smile and conversation.
“Boy, didn’t I say already, there’s no need to disturb with trivial matters, interrupting my peaceful cultivation, that’s quite a sin!”
“Aunt Nine.”
The Nalan Family Head stood there with fists clasped, his body bowed, not daring to lift his head, expressing utmost respect, “It’s not that the junior is ddling, but my daughter was unjustly murdered, even her husband was killed in advance. This is a slap to our Nalan family’s face, leaving us with no dignity, hence I must ask you to teach them a lesson.”
“Hmph!”
Yet Nalan Jiuhuang casually waved her sleeve, dismissively saying, “The Nalan family has undergone a century of great developnt, incomparable to the past, filled with masters. Who in Jianghu dares to provoke our Nalan family? Forcing to take action, it seems you might as well step down as Family Head and let soone more capable take over.”
“Not so, not so! Aunt Nine, please listen to my detailed explanation.”
Then, the Nalan Family Head elaborated on Ning Fan’s entire background, exaggerating and embellishing the facts, detailing the conflicts between Ning Fan and Ning Qingfeng, Nalan Yanfeng, among others, not missing a long discourse.
The more Nalan Jiuhuang listened, the angrier she beca, her expression ultimately cold as ice, angrily exclaiming, “What can be tolerated cannot be tolerated, such a young age and yet daring to call himself the great Duke in mighty Huaxia, overestimating himself.”
Then, she sharply asked, “Such a youngster, and it takes so much effort from you all?”
“Indeed, back then when Ning Family’s eldest young master Ning Jianyang died, the Bi Family went to demand justice. Bi Lietu personally went forth, only to be severely injured by this Ning Fan. His son Bi Hongtu also had his cultivation crippled, showing that although Ning Fan is young, he is a monstrous figure in the Martial Arts World, not to be underestimated.”
The Nalan Family Head spoke truthfully, not daring to conceal anything.
“Even Bi Lietu, a True Origin Realm expert, was severely injured by a twenty-sothing Ning Fan, how ridiculous.”
Nalan Jiuhuang lightly pressed her lips, ridiculing with a mocking smile.
However, she then realized the gravity of the situation, sternly questioning, “So you’re saying, this little Ning Fan is actually a True Origin Realm expert? Exactly which minor realm has he reached?”
“Not clear, either in the Interdiate Stage of the True Origin Realm or at the Peak Stage of the True Origin Realm. It is said he severely injured Bi Lietu with a single move, causing him to vomit blood and faint, possibly reaching the Peak of the True Origin Realm.”
The Nalan Family Head cautiously analyzed, speculating.
“What?”
Nalan Jiuhuang squinted her eyes, inhaling sharply, “Are you saying Ning Fan, just twenty-five or six years old, is already a True Origin Realm Peak expert? Among the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World, such achievents can be counted on one hand throughout history, and in nearly a century, a freak like this has never erged.”
“Indeed, Aunt Nine. If it weren’t for the compelling circumstances, we wouldn’t ask you to co out. After all, you are an Aerial Mastery Realm expert, able to fight aerially, surely killing a re Ning Fan wouldn’t take much effort.”
Nalan Jiuhuang beca intrigued, nodding and smiling, “Interesting, truly interesting. I, Nalan family’s Granny Nine, will et this Ning Fan from the Ning family and see exactly what he is capable of, what rits and abilities dare let him be called a Duke!”
“Once Aunt Nine takes action, surely heaven and earth will darken, the sun and moon will lose light, victory assured, success imdiate.”
Flattery works wonders, and the Ning Family Head’s words, sweetened like honey, were frighteningly flattering.
He knew, although Nalan Jiuhuang appeared glamorous and charming, reminiscent of a longing young matron.
But her true age was over one hundred, her ageless appearance connected to her cultivation technique and cultivation level.
As the highest cultivation and the eldest elder in the entire Nalan family, Nalan Jiuhuang stomping her foot would be enough to shake the Nalan family thrice.
Nalan Jiuhuang smiled slightly, “Rest assured, once I take action, the impact will be astonishing. After decades of closed cultivation, who knows what changes have taken place in the outside world, for such a monster to erge. It’s ti to set an example, to show Huaxia’s young and old boys that our Nalan family’s foundation isn’t sothing any random cat or dog can trample.”
“Aunt Nine’s words are quite right.”
The Nalan Family Head clasped fists again, respectfully retreating.
With a gentle breeze brushing the face, Nalan Jiuhuang watched his figure leave, once again sealing the small courtyard.
She glanced at the koi fish in the pond, so grew over a ter, terrifyingly large. With a slight movent in her expression, she chuckled, “After being closed off for so long, it turns out you have grown so much, truly monstrous. I wonder how monstrous that Ning Fan will be.”
“Achoo!”
Perhaps soone out there was thinking of him, Ning Fan suddenly sneezed.
He awoke slowly, sat up, and looked out the window.
Outside, the moon was full over the Western Tower, its light reaching into his room like a maiden’s hand, seemingly trying to caress Ning Fan’s face.
At that mont, a servant of the Ning family hurriedly ran over, delightedly and anxiously saying, “Third Young Master, the old master has awakened, he has woken up.”
“Really?”
Ning Fan’s face lit up with a smile as he stood up, heading out towards the backyard.
