Chapter 97

Nantian Qi said, "This matter still depends on Young Master Ye's own will."

The man in the golden robe nodded, "Naturally."

Nantian Qi said, "I will ask him later."

After saying this, she turned and left.

The group of Tianlong Clan experts also hurriedly followed her out. In the grand hall, Nanyuan dismissed everyone, leaving only Nantian Temple and Nantian Qing.

Nanyuan looked at Nantian Temple and Nantian Qing, "Our ancient civilization needs unity."

Nantian Temple smiled, "Father, don't worry. The two of us are not so petty. If we still fight internally at this time, we truly deserve to be destroyed by the Guanxuan Universe."

Nanyuan nodded, his face full of relief.

As a father, many times he was afraid that his children would not be excellent, but he was also afraid that they would all be too excellent, because if they were all too excellent, it might lead to a situation where they would harm each other.

Nanyuan said, "What do you think of that Young Master Ye?"

Nantian Qing suddenly smiled, "Sister Qi and he don't really have a marriage contract, right?"

Nanyuan nodded.

Nantian Qing frowned slightly, "Then this matter is dangerous."

Nanyuan and Nantian Temple looked at Nantian Qing. Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Nantian Qing smiled slightly, "You don't think Sister Qi can really achieve a happy ending with this Young Master Ye, do you?"

Nanyuan said, "Qier is very excellent."

Nantian Qing said, "That's the biggest problem. Because she is too excellent and too smart, her purpose in approaching this Young Master Ye is not pure. To put it simply, she is investing in him."

Nantian Temple suddenly smiled, "I think I understand."

Nantian Qing nodded, "Men are often very strange, especially those excellent men. They often deceive themselves, thinking that women approach them because of their money, but they themselves hope that women follow them not because of their money, but because they like them as a person..."

She smiled and continued, "Without a doubt, this Young Master Ye will be very clear-headed. He will know that the relationship between him and Sister Qi is just a transaction. Sister Qi might pretend to be genuine for the sake of profit and really get married, but this Young Master Ye might not, and even if he does, they might not get along well in the future."

Nanyuan frowned.

Nantian Qing continued, "Therefore, I suggest Father talk to Sister Qi. This marriage contract should only be a surface-level one, for show, without a real marriage. This respects Sister Qi and also respects that Young Master Ye, so he won't think we are using favors to coerce him."

Nanyuan said solemnly, "This person is very excellent. If he can join our ancient civilization, it will be..."

"Father!"

Nantian Qing suddenly interrupted Nanyuan, "The more we respect him and do not coerce him, the more he will feel guilty and grateful. In other words, for a valuable and good person, we can treat him 'without purpose.' The more we do this, the more he will feel uncomfortable and try to repay us!"

Nantian Temple glanced at Nantian Qing, shaking his head. These two sisters, one is more cunning than the other.

Nanyuan also looked at Nantian Qing in surprise. Nantian Qing remained calm, "This is good for us, good for him and Sister Qi, a win-win situation."

Nanyuan nodded slightly, "You make a good point. If we now use the marriage contract to coerce him, it might make him uncomfortable, and if that happens, it would be counterproductive."

Nantian Qing said, "There is one more thing. We cannot publicize the matter of the Guanxuan Universe, especially about Young Master Ye defeating Yang Jia."

Nanyuan said, "What do you mean?"

Nantian Qing said, "If our ancient civilization does this, it will undoubtedly anger the Guanxuan Universe. At this time, we should not provoke the Guanxuan Universe. Of course, we cannot let the Guanxuan Universe off easily. We can let other cosmic civilizations publicize this matter. This way, we can both strike the Guanxuan Universe and build momentum for Young Master Ye Tianming."

Nanyuan said solemnly, "Doing so will put that Young Master Ye in a difficult position."

Nantian Qing said, "That's the point, Father. You must understand that from the moment he defeated Yang Jia in the Guanxuan Universe, the conflict between him and Yang Jia has already begun. This is their destiny, and they will eventually face each other again."

Nanyuan nodded slightly, "Do as you see fit."

A moment later, Nantian Qing and Nantian Temple left the grand hall.

The siblings stood at the entrance of the grand hall. Nantian Qing suddenly smiled, "What do you think about that ancient divine tower submitting to Sister Qi?"

Nantian Temple said, "She earned it with her life. It's what she deserves."

Nantian Qing turned to look at Nantian Temple and smiled, "What's your real opinion?"

Nantian Temple laughed, "What else could it be?"

Nantian Qing asked again, "What do you think of that Ye Tianming?"

Nantian Temple said, "What else can I think? He could defeat Yang Jia in the same realm, which already proves his strength and talent. I don't have the confidence to defeat Yang Jia in the same realm, ha ha!"

Nantian Qing smiled, "Old Brother, you are deeply hidden."

Only someone who is absolutely confident in themselves would not envy others.

Nantian Temple chuckled, "Mutual respect."

Nantian Qing suddenly said seriously, "From what I know, he could defeat that Yang Jia for two reasons: one is the sword in his hand, and the other is the 'Law of All Beings' created by his teacher..."

Nantian Temple's smile gradually faded. He turned to look at Nantian Qing, "Do you have any ideas?"

Nantian Qing said, "Not just me, Father and everyone else should have ideas. Don't you have any?"

"No!"

Nantian Temple said, "Ninth Sister, you previously said that Xiao Qi is too smart. Actually, you are too. I advise you, for your own sake and for our ancient civilization, never have those dangerous thoughts again."

Nantian Qing looked at Nantian Temple. Nantian Temple said seriously, "First, his teacher could create such a heaven-defying law, which is not something an ordinary person can do. We can't be sure they don't have any backup plans. Second, I don't know what sword Ye Tianming has, but I know what sword Yang Jia has. It's the Qingxuan Sword, which is called the first sword of the Guanxuan Universe, but even in the entire universe, there is no divine weapon that can match it. However, the sword in that Young Master Ye's hand suppressed that sword. Third..."

He suddenly laughed, "In life, it's better to be sincere and not play too many tricks. Ye Tianming has not harmed our ancient civilization, so we shouldn't have any evil thoughts."

After saying this, he walked away.

Nantian Qing stood there for a moment, then smiled and quickly disappeared into the distance.

...

When Ye Tianming woke up, he found himself in a room. The room was not very large but was very cozy, emitting a faint fragrance. Looking at the room's decor, it seemed to belong to a woman.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Tianming said, "Come in."

Nantian Qi walked in and approached Ye Tianming, "Feeling better?"

Ye Tianming nodded slightly.

Nantian Qi looked at Ye Tianming, hesitating to speak.

Ye Tianming looked at Nantian Qi, "Is it about my family?"

Nantian Qi nodded slightly. She did not choose to hide it and told him about his family. The news she received was that his entire family had been exterminated...

When he heard that his entire family had been executed, Ye Tianming's face remained expressionless, with no trace of emotion in his eyes.

Nantian Qi was a bit worried, "You..."

Ye Tianming said, "Miss Qi, I need some time alone."

Nantian Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."

She turned and left.

After Nantian Qi left, Ye Tianming slowly got up and sat down on the stone steps outside the room, remaining silent.

After a long time, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he whispered, "Grandfather, teacher, Senior Sister, Big Brother, Ye Zong, and Big Sister are all dead... I have no more family in this world."
