Divine King of Honour-Chapter 476: Leng Yanran Visits

Xu Nian's appointment as the Divine River Palace Master quickly spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.

This caused a great sensation across the Imperial Capital.

Various powers sent gifts, seeking an audience.

However, Xu Nian rejected all of them.

Xu Nian knew that these powers were flattering him not to win him over or because of the Divine River Palace, but to curry favor with Zhang Tiansheng behind the scenes.

What these people didn't know was that Zhang Tiansheng had already left this continent and would never return.

If they had known, they probably wouldn't have been so eager to court Xu Nian.

Thus, Xu Nian didn't bother to involve himself too deeply with them.

These people were all driven by self-interest, and once they realized there were no benefits to be gained from Xu Nian, they would definitely turn against him immediately.

Xu Nian closed his doors to visitors.

He spent his time either with his mother and sister or on cultivation.

There were about ten days left until the Crown Prince's grand wedding.

And ten days later, there would likely be another great battle.

...

Inside a grand hall of the Divine River Palace.

Xu Nian was currently chatting with his mother and sister.

"Nian'er, you're not getting any younger, do you like any girl? Let mother arrange a marriage for you," Xu Xiuxue said adoringly as she looked at her son.

These days were some of the happiest times of her life.

Having both her daughter and son by her side, being able to sit down together to talk and eat was always her dream.

"Right, brother, do you like any girl? You are now the Divine River Palace Master and a Saint-level expert. I bet there are quite a few girls who like you," Xu Xin also joked.

Xu Nian just gave a wry smile.

His mother and sister had been asking him this question for the past few days.

He always dodged the question haphazardly.

But his sister and mother didn't believe him and kept pressing him repeatedly.

It got to the point where, every time Xu Nian heard this question,

he could only keep his eyes on his nose, and his nose on his heart, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

But the more he acted this way, the more his mother and sister sensed Xu Nian's evasion and pressed even harder.

"Brother, you wouldn't happen to like Princess Ice Spirit, would you? Princess Ice Spirit looks good and has a gentle temperament; I think she's quite suited for you," Xu Xin said with a laugh.

Xu Xiuxue also nodded in agreement.

She had met Xia Bingling and could tell from her womanly intuition that Xia Bingling also had a fondness for Xu Nian.

So, she was actually in favor of Xia Bingling becoming her daughter-in-law.

After all, her son's talents and status were certainly worthy of an Imperial Princess.

Seeing his mother and sister so in agreement, Xu Nian helplessly shook his head.

He really had no interest in Xia Bingling.

His emotions were somewhat complicated; Murong Xue wasn't here.

Leng Yanran's identity was a bit special, and he was afraid of startling his mother if he spoke out.

So on this matter, he could only choose to evade.

"Palace Master, a lady outside requests an audience with you."

Just as Xu Nian was feeling a bit troubled by this, a servant's voice came from outside the hall.

"A lady? Is she pretty? Young? Which family's girl is she?"

Before Xu Nian could even ask, Xu Xin bombarded him with a myriad of questions.

Despite appearing calm and gentle, even somewhat cold on a regular basis, in the presence of Xu Nian and Xu Xiuxue, that suppressed whimsical spirit of hers would reveal itself.

Xu Nian was rendered speechless upon hearing Xu Xin's barrage.

The attendant, aware of the relationship between Xu Xin and Xu Nian, truthfully responded, "Replying to the Hall Master, the young lady is very beautiful, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Judging by her Identity Token, she appears to be from the Leng Family."

"The Leng Family? A bit old at twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but for cultivators under forty there are no issues. If she's indeed quite beautiful, taking her as a concubine wouldn't be bad," Xu Xiuxue muttered.

Xu Nian's face was lined with frustration.

But soon, his expression turned serious.

Who could that woman mentioned by the attendant be, if not Leng Yanran?

It was completely unexpected for Leng Yanran to seek him out at this time.

Initially, Xu Nian had been considering looking for Leng Yanran, but unexpectedly, Leng Yanran had taken the initiative to come to him.

"Have this young lady brought to the side hall. I will go there immediately," Xu Nian hastily instructed.

"Yes!"

The attendant responded and then withdrew.

Xu Xiuxue and Xu Xin on the side started to become suspicious.

"You're not being honest. What exactly is your relationship with Leng Yanran? Don't tell me it's something as simple as a teacher-student relationship. Leng Yanran is getting married in ten days, and her coming to you now is clearly no ordinary matter," Xu Xin rapidly interrogated.

Xu Xiuxue also adopted an expression of intense interrogation.

Clearly, Xu Nian asking Leng Yanran to wait in the side hall meant he was avoiding them.

How could this not arouse their suspicions?

"Well, I'll explain to you when I get back," Xu Nian quickly said, turning on his heels and deploying the Thunderclap Flash, slipping away.

Upon reaching the side hall and making sure Xu Xin and his mother hadn't followed,

Xu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief as he walked into the side hall.

Upon entering, Xu Nian saw a stunning figure standing inside the main hall.

At the sight of this figure, Xu Nian's heart trembled.

Since their last separation at Qinglin Academy, this woman's image had frequented his mind.

Now, they could finally meet again.

The woman turned around, facing Xu Nian; her eyes too seemed somewhat distant.

"Are you alright?"

Xu Nian and Leng Yanran spoke simultaneously, uttering the same words.

Hearing each other's questions, both faces turned awkward.

"Yanran, don't marry the Crown Prince. He cultivates the malevolent Yin Yang Replenishment Technique. If you marry him, it could cost you your life," Xu Nian blurted out to ease the awkwardness.

However, to his surprise, Leng Yanran's face showed no signs of agitation.

It was as if she already knew about it.

"You know about this?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

Leng Yanran shook her head, "No, I've only met the Crown Prince once. How could I possibly know which Cultivation Technique he practices? But marrying him was an order from the Leng Family, a marital grant from the Emperor. Even if I disagree, it's useless."

Xu Nian's brows furrowed deeply.

Although he had suspected as much, hearing Leng Yanran articulate it made his heart sink profoundly.

"What was your purpose for coming to see me today?" Xu Nian asked.

He had a feeling that Leng Yanran's visit was particularly suspicious today, and seeing her expression now, he felt even more uneasy.

It was at that moment Leng Yanran said, "My purpose today is to persuade you to leave the Imperial Capital. I know what you intend to do, but I still want you to give it up."

As Leng Yanran spoke, her voice choked up, her lips even trembling slightly.

Even her eyes dared not meet Xu Nian's directly.
