Chapter 1210: Directly Use Him to Exchange for Nan Gong

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Since Nan Gong is wrongfully accused, our Nan Family cannot let Nan Gong be subject to legal punishment by the Dragon Chief. How about this, the Mortal World is a legal society, and Gonggong’s case still needs investigation, evidence collection, court trials, and given that he belongs to our Nan Family, it probably won’t be resolved within a year.

So, Heavenly Elder, do you agree if I go out with Second to capture Nan Xiao and interrogate him? If we determine that he wrongfully accused Nan Gong, we can use Nan Xiao to exchange for Nan Gong."

The Supreme Elder listened to the Great Elder and slightly frowned at the mention of "capture."

He contemplated for a moment and said, "It’s good for you to go out, but you must not rashly capture anyone. Start with an investigation. If the investigation reveals discrepancies with the Dragon Team’s knowledge, then submit the findings to the government. After all, Nan Gong joined the Dragon Group and holds a position; we cannot simply bring him back."

He didn’t mention submitting to the Dragon Group, instead referring to the government. This indicates he believed the Nan Family Head’s words and had some reservations about the Dragon Group.

Meanwhile, a cold glint flashed in Nan Yun’ao’s eyes.

After exiting the Supreme Elder’s cave, Nan Yun’ao pulled the Great Elder to his own residence, set up an isolating restriction, and asked the Great Elder, "After you leave, what’s your plan for the investigation?"

Great Elder responded, "Naturally, the Dragon Team in the Mortal World."

Nan Yun’ao shook his head, "I’m afraid the Dragon Team has already been bribed by Nan Xiao. I’ve taken a Heart Demon Oath; is my word still not credible? Besides, Nan Xiao’s power might be difficult for the two of you to handle."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"When you see Nan Xiao, don’t engage in too much conversation. Immediately surprise him and cripple his power; take him to the Dragon Group to exchange for Gonggong."

As Nan Yun’ao said this, he shoved a bottle of Stone Marrow into the Great Elder’s hand.

The Great Elder hesitated briefly, then agreed, "Alright!"

At this moment, Nan Xiao, inside the Space House within the cave, was unaware he was wrongfully accused and even prepared to be used to exchange for Nan Gong. If he knew, he wouldn’t be able to focus on his isolation to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing her father activate his cultivation mode, Mengyu exited the Space House.

Initially, she thought about returning home, as her heart was concerned about Hai Xue and her daughter still residing at her family’s house on Yang’an Alley. She didn’t know if Gu Ming had persuaded Hai Xue to bring them back to the main courtyard.

But then she thought that it’s better not to disturb them as they are a family of three there.

Perhaps staying here to cultivate would be better.

This intention to stay was further fueled by the attraction to the Golden Lotus in the boiling spring.

She found it curious indeed, why her father wasn’t intrigued by this mysterious Golden Lotus?

Yet, while her father showed no curiosity, Xiao Tao was puzzled. "Master, there’s an Abnormal Fire here. Why aren’t you collecting it? With an Abnormal Fire, you can practice Alchemy in the future."

Mengyu asked in surprise, "Abnormal Fire?"

Xiao Tao replied, "Yes, the Abnormal Fire is precisely that Golden Lotus."

It turned out the Golden Lotus was an Abnormal Fire.

Mengyu thought it strange, "Xiao Tao, since this Golden Lotus is an Abnormal Fire, it should be a rare treasure. Why didn’t that Demon Cultivator collect it?"

You must know, that Demon Cultivator was suffering from Cold Poison. Rather than risk capturing a Fire Attribute Cultivator to resolve the Cold Poison and end up being hunted by Righteous Cultivators, wouldn’t it be better to use the Abnormal Fire to resolve the Cold Poison?

Xiao Tao pouted, "Master, the Golden Lotus is merely the manifestation of the Abnormal Fire. It shows itself only to those it chooses. Neither that evil path Demon Cultivator nor Nan Gong, even your father Nan Xiao, could see the Golden Lotus."
