Divine King of Honour-Chapter 424: Leng Yanran’s Father

Heavenly Thunder descended.

The tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed.

The oppression that weighed heavily on everyone's hearts also diminished.

Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief.

"Big brother!"

"Master!"

At the same time, two voices echoed from afar.

Xu Nian looked towards the source of the voices and saw two young men approaching from a distance.

"Are you Xu Yu and Black Wind?"

Xu Nian gazed at the young men flying towards him, surprise evident on his face.

One of the youngsters was very handsome and bore a slight resemblance to Xu Nian.

However, his pupils were golden, giving him a somewhat eerie and mystical appearance.

Without a doubt, this was Xu Yu.

As for the other one, he appeared more robust.

Clad in a black robe, his hair flowed like black satin.

A wild aura emanated from his entire being.

And there was a crescent-shaped mark on his forehead.

Indeed, this was Black Wind.

Xu Nian had thought that Black Wind was no longer young, but surprisingly, he was also a teenager.

"Big brother, do I look handsome after my transformation?" Xu Yu asked with a smile.

Xu Nian helplessly chuckled.

It was evident that Xu Yu had intentionally transformed to resemble his own appearance.

To the unobservant, they might think the two were twin brothers.

"Hmph, shameless, copying the master's appearance," Black Wind said, clearly unconvinced.

"Black Wind, are you not convinced? When I was with big brother, you didn't even know where you were. If you dare, let's have a fight?" Xu Yu said, lifting his head proudly.

"Let's fight then, who's afraid? I've always been hiding my true strength. Did you really think I'm no match for you?" Black Wind declared, equally unconvinced.

The two glared at each other, ready to come to blows.

"Alright, stop bickering. Black Wind, how old are you?" Xu Nian quickly intervened.

These two had always argued over his barbecue.

Even now, after transforming, they continued to bicker.

If he hadn't intervened, they might have actually started fighting.

"Reporting to master, I am eight years old," Black Wind responded.

"Eight years old? Then you are older than Xu Yu, who is only three years old! From now on, don't call me master. Just call me big brother. You can be the second elder, and Xu Yu the third, the three of us as brothers," Xu Nian said.

"Alright, big brother!" Black Wind promptly replied.

"Why should I be the third? I'm stronger than Black Wind; I should be the second," Xu Yu immediately protested.

"Hmph, simply because I was born earlier," Black Wind said, smugly.

"No way, we must rank by strength. If you're not convinced, let's fight it out. Whoever wins will be the second," Xu Yu insisted.

"Let's fight then, who's afraid!" Black Wind countered.

"Enough, Xu Yu, stop it. According to our human customs, since you're the youngest, you ought to be the third. If anyone continues to fuss, forget about eating the meat I roast in the future," Xu Nian declared.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, Xu Yu and Black Wind finally shut their mouths.

To them, not eating Xu Nian's roasted meat was more unbearable than death.

So, rather than fighting their own stomachs, they immediately accepted Xu Nian's arrangement.

Seeing the two calm down, a smile spread across Xu Nian's face.

It seemed this method really worked.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, two saints from the Leng Family flew over.

"Xu Nian greets the two seniors," Xu Nian said respectfully.

He had always been this way.

Others respect him one foot, and he respects others ten feet.

Since the Leng Family had chosen to support him when others looked down on him,

this alone was worthy of Xu Nian's respect.

It must be manifold better for the Xu Family with whom he shared blood relations.

"Senior? We can't bear such a title, given your current status, it wouldn't be too much for us to call you 'Lord'," said Leng Qingfeng with a smile.

Xu Nian was now an Alien Minister Elder at the Divine River Palace, a position just below one and above tens of thousands.

Indeed, they should be calling him 'Lord.'

"Considering both age and seniority, I should be calling you 'Senior,' so you needn't be so formal with me," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Indeed, I was not wrong about you. Well, Xu Nian, we should be going. Do visit our Leng Family when you have time, there's actually a connection between our families, Leng Yanran is indeed my daughter," Leng Qinghe said with a laugh.

"Eh?" Xu Nian was startled.

Leng Qinghe was Leng Yanran's father?

This made Xu Nian suddenly feel awkward.

As it was known, the relationship between him and Leng Yanran was not just a simple mentor-disciple relationship.

Discovering at this moment that Leng Qinghe was Leng Yanran's father left Xu Nian not knowing how to respond.

However, Leng Qinghe didn't notice Xu Nian's strange expression, but Leng Qingfeng's face revealed a knowingly deep smile.

After bidding farewell to Xu Nian, the two of them left the Divine River Palace directly.

"Big brother, what do you think about Xu Nian as your son-in-law?"

On the way back, Leng Qingfeng suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Leng Qinghe was startled.

Then after pondering for a moment, he answered, "This child, regardless of his temperament, talent, or character, is a dragon among men. I would certainly like such a son-in-law. However, Yanran is my only daughter and she's already bound by a marital arrangement, designated as the Crown Princess Consort by the emperor himself. The Crown Prince is the future emperor, and in that regard, he is not inferior to Xu Nian. Besides, Xu Nian is younger than Yanran and given her temperament, she would not fancy someone younger."

Hearing this, Leng Qingfeng laughed.

It seemed his elder brother still did not understand his own daughter.

Leng Yanran had originally agreed to be the Dean of Qinglin Academy for three years but then suddenly requested an extension of two more years.

Additionally, considering Xu Nian's earlier strange expression,

if there were no secrets here, he would be unwilling to believe it.

"It looks like when we return, I'll have to sound out Yanran about this matter," Leng Qingfeng said to himself with a smile.

Leng Qinghe was baffled, not understanding why his brother would ask such a question.

But he knew that he could never fully understand his younger brother's mind, even after so many years.

...

Not long after the two Leng Family Saints departed,

a Saint from the Xu Family approached in Xu Nian's direction.

Xu Nian frowned slightly.

Truthfully, he had been dissatisfied with the Xu Family.

The Xu Family's twice sitting idly by had utterly eroded any good feelings he had for them.

Just like the Qin Family, they were a cold, profit-driven family with no trace of compassion.

"How is my mother doing now?" Xu Nian directly initiated the conversation.

The Xu Family Saint was startled by Xu Nian taking the lead, hastily replied, "Rest assured, Lord. Our Family Head has already lifted the confinement on your mother, and she has now moved in with Xu Xin."

Hearing this, Xu Nian's expression finally softened somewhat.

The Xu Family Saint seemed about to say more,

but was directly interrupted by Xu Nian.

"You need not speak further; I know what you want to say. Tell your family that Xu Nian shall visit the Xu Family in three days," Xu Nian said coldly.

"Yes," the Xu Family Saint responded, sighing inwardly.

He could sense Xu Nian's dissatisfaction with his previous non-involvements.

Now, all he could hope for was that the relationship between the Xu Family and Xu Nian could be mended in the days to come.

After exchanging a parting word with Xu Nian, he then left directly.

Xu Nian watched the direction in which the Xu Family Saint had departed, his gaze firming.

"Three days, Mother, in three days I will see you, and I will make them repay for all the grievances you suffered in the Xu Family."

Xu Nian clenched his fist, his gaze as determined as iron.
