Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1018 - 1017: Unfathomable Emotions

"Come in."

Su Han spoke, extending a hand towards Nangong Yu, but did not personally go to greet her.

Nangong Yu seemed not to notice any of this. She lifted her steps, slowly walked forward, step by step, and finally came to stand before Su Han.

"It really is you, you’re not dead..."

"They all said you were dead, fallen under the siege of the Five Great Super Sects, dead at the hands of the Imperial Ancestor of the Sect of the Battle God. I never believed it, always thought you wouldn’t die, but on the day the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal opened, you did not appear either..."

"I was heartbroken, despaired, even thought of avenging you. But I never imagined that you would still be alive, really still alive..."

"I thought you had become just a passerby in my life, thought I could forget you, thought your appearance wouldn’t stir much in me, but all of this... was just what I thought."

"Do you know? When I heard the news of your survival, I didn’t hesitate at all, I came directly from the Central Domain to here."

"But the distance from the Central Domain to here is really too far, I didn’t pause for a moment, and when my Dragon Power was exhausted, I used pills to sustain myself. If the pills ran out, I would have someone from One Slash Palace take me forward. During this long time, I never stopped, just to see, if you were really still alive!"

"Now, I see it, and I’m satisfied, you’re still here, always been here."

Listening to Nangong Yu’s murmurs, seeing the sorrowful smile on her face, Su Han’s heart was a mix of emotions, not knowing how to speak.

At this moment, Nangong Yu reached out her hand as if trying to touch Su Han’s face.

But just as she was about to reach it, Su Han slightly moved, shifting his face away.

Nangong Yu was taken aback, and her actions paused, then she smiled bitterly and withdrew her hand.

"You’ve been back for so long, you must have heard all the rumors on the Dragon Martial Continent. I, Nangong Yu, indeed fell in love with you, it’s true, and cannot be changed."

Nangong Yu took a small step back, rested her delicate hand, and said: "If the person standing here right now isn’t truly you, then I have nothing to say; but if it is truly you... then I understand."

"The reason I came today is just to confirm if you really are still alive. Now that I’m sure, I won’t stay any longer."

With those words, Nangong Yu turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Su Han suddenly spoke up.

Nangong Yu paused her steps, turned back: "Is there something else?"

Su Han pondered for a moment, then said: "You came all the way from the Central Domain, traveled tirelessly; even if you wish to leave, you should rest and regain your strength first."

"No need."

Nangong Yu’s eyes, once full of hope, quickly dimmed. She forced a smile: "A place to rest should be home, and this is not my home."

"I was planning to go to One Slash Palace myself, why don’t you stay here for a few days and we can leave together?" Su Han suggested.

"Forget it, there’s business waiting for me to handle at One Slash Palace, I won’t stay long."

Nangong Yu left, and Su Han couldn’t stop her.

To be honest, regarding Nangong Yu, at least for now, Su Han only had friendship.

He never thought Nangong Yu would fall for him, just like how he never thought the Second Miss of Xiao Family, supposedly ugly according to rumors, Xiao Yuran, could be so beautiful.

This news shocked Su Han and was something he couldn’t accept.

He couldn’t just embrace Nangong Yu because she liked him. Su Han wasn’t the type to lust after beauty, nor was he one to toy with emotions. Before he began to like Nangong Yu, it was best for them to maintain some distance, after all, he had a wife and a child now.

After Nangong Yu left, another person entered the great hall.

A Phoenix Sect disciple attempted to stop him, but to no avail. This person was too powerful, at the peak of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, appearing as an elder. freēwēbnovel.com

He was wearing the attire of One Slash Palace, with an imposing aura. After entering the great hall, the Phoenix Sect disciple who stopped him looked embarrassed, while Su Han waved his hand, saying: "You may withdraw first."

"Yes."

The two disciples immediately withdrew.

After they left, the elder immediately said: "I am Elder Fui Lin of One Slash Palace, greeting Sect Master Su."

"Please have a seat, Elder Fui," Su Han responded politely.

"No need to sit, I came here just to say a few words."

Fui Lin said: "Yu’er is the Young Palace of One Slash Palace, her beauty is unparalleled, there are few on the Dragon Martial Continent who can compare to her. Her background is high, her status is high, her identity is high, few can compare to her on the Dragon Martial Continent. Regarding aptitude, many feel Yu’er’s aptitude is lacking, at this age only reaching the Dragon God Realm Early Stage, but in reality, Yu’er has a special constitution. Once this constitution is activated, her cultivation speed will be unimaginable."

"Considering all this, Yu’er has countless admirers. From the moment Yu’er came of age, numerous Grand Powers sought for marriage, but all were rejected."

"When everyone was speculating what kind of man Yu’er would favor, she fell in love with you."

"Logically, since you’re believed dead, anyone with sense wouldn’t offend the Sword Immortal Tomb. Yu’er isn’t foolish, being nurtured by the Palace Master, she has a deep understanding of the bigger picture."

"Yet, she still, in front of countless people, forced Chang Yuege to kneel and apologize, and the reason was not because Chang Yuege insulted Yu’er, but because he insulted you!"

"At the time, Chang Yuege said nothing further, and the Sword Immortal Tomb endured it, but Chang Yuege’s resentment was visible to all. These accumulated grievances will inevitably erupt, bringing One Slash Palace to the center of controversy."

"Upon hearing you’re alive, Yu’er first confirmed with Nan Qing, and then without hesitation, rushed towards here."

"During this near-year, I’ve sensed Yu’er’s cultivation base becoming unstable, as if it would collapse at any moment. I’ve advised her numerous times, but she just wouldn’t listen. You should know why this is."

"I know you have a wife, a child, and your own emotions. I can’t force you."

"But as an outsider, I must say a few words, not taking sides, nor claiming anyone is right. I just want you to know how deep Yu’er’s feelings for you really are."

"How you choose is up to you, but if you truly have no intentions, I hope Sect Master Su will quickly make a clear statement, so as not to delay Yu’er’s youth and affection."

"That’s all, I bid farewell."

After speaking, Elder Fui clasped his hands in respect, and without waiting for Su Han’s response, left the great hall.
