Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 64: If it does not sound, it is fine

That night, the events at the Yang City Gambling Stone Field shocked many people. Reporters were present in the valley and had witnessed things rarely seen by ordinary people, but the twists and turns of this night were unprecedented. The young man who was supposed to be taught a harsh lesson by Nalan Feng had instead turned the tables on him.

And Nalan Jie was helpless against him.

Furthermore, this young man was extraordinary. He successfully selected three valuable raw stones, establishing his reputation as a master in the Gambling Stone Circle overnight.

The reporters hurried away, returning to their news agencies to report to their editors-in-chief.

The editors-in-chief of Yang City’s major news agencies were initially incredulous, suspecting their subordinates were playing a joke on them. But once the video footage and photographs came out, they were all stunned. They had never anticipated such a dramatic event.

They rushed the story to press, striving to be the first to publish the news.

One of these editors-in-chief had a daughter named Bing Hong. At that moment, she was helping her father, Lin Fa, with his paperwork.

As a reporter was making his report, Bing Hong exclaimed, "You’re saying that young man is from Qin Corporation?"

"Yes," the reporter said. "I heard some people talking about him, saying he was from Qin Corporation."

"I know who it is!" Bing Hong said with great joy.

"Daughter, who is it?" her father asked.

"Nangong Yi," Bing Hong replied.

The editor-in-chief was overjoyed. "Good daughter," he said with a laugh, "you’ve really helped your dad out. Looking at these blurry photos and videos, I’d wager the other agencies don’t have anything better."

"It’s not my fault, sir," the reporter said, his eyes brimming with amazement. "He was too fast, and he seemed to know we were taking candid shots. He always kept his back to us, and his movements were very clever. We just couldn’t get a clear shot. He was like a martial arts expert."

The editor-in-chief nodded and looked at Bing Hong. "So it’s confirmed."

"Absolutely," Bing Hong assured, patting her chest. "Within Qin Corporation, only Nangong Yi could be that skilled."

The editor-in-chief nodded and turned to the reporters, his voice commanding, "Now that you know, what are you waiting for? This is exclusive material that only our agency has. We must publish it immediately and get ahead of the others!"

"Yes!" the reporters voiced in unison.

...

In the car, Xiao Liang spoke apologetically, "Nalan Jie isn’t actually a bad person. I hope you can be magnanimous. I invited you here to have a good time, so I never expected something like this to happen. Please forgive me."

"It’s nothing," Wu Tian said indifferently.

To Wu Tian, the matter with Nalan Jie was trivial. When he first arrived in the Immortal Emperor Realm, he joined a sect where an elder discovered his special physique and wanted to capture and eat him. Wu Tian was refined in a cauldron for a long time. If it weren’t for his special physique, he would have been devoured long ago.

Incidents like that were common. Compared to them, Nalan Jie was nothing.

"If he causes trouble again, I certainly won’t spare him. He will die a miserable death," Wu Tian stated calmly.

Nalan Jie was not an easy man to kill. Moreover, killing someone in the bustling mortal world was no simple feat. But Xiao Liang knew a person like Wu Tian would have no problem at all. Those who had offended him in the past all met inexplicable fates.

Xiao Liang had investigated this himself.

If a man like Wu Tian said the sky would fall, Xiao Liang would believe at least part of it.

"Don’t worry. If he dares to cause trouble again, then he’ll deserve to die," Xiao Liang responded. He hoped Nalan Jie wouldn’t do anything foolish.

Finally, the car arrived at a modest residence on the outskirts of Yang City. It was a crude bamboo hut, yet it was patrolled by a group of bodyguards. Such a scene was rarely witnessed in the city.

"These are the Wei Guards," Xia Qian explained with a smile. "The Xiao Family obtained the ancient troop training methods of Wu Qi and used them to train these men." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Wu Tian nodded. He could naturally tell these guards were different. Nearly every one of them possessed skills on par with Nangong Yi, and they were all capable of being a King of Soldiers.

Led by Xiao Liang and Xia Qian, he entered the bamboo hut. It was empty except for a single bookshelf. Xiao Liang walked over to it, reached out, and twisted one of the books. Suddenly, the bookshelf slid aside, revealing a secret underground passage.

"Please," Xiao Liang said.

Wu Tian nodded and followed Xiao Liang and Xia Qian down into the passage.

The passage was filled with countless rare and exotic treasures.

"I went through a great deal of effort to collect all of these," Xiao Liang began to explain. "Great rulers of the past all possessed famous swords. Shaokang forged the Eight-Directional Bronze Sword; Zhuanxu had Huaying and Tengkong; Taijia owned the sword Wenguang; and Wuding had the sword Zhaodan. Look, this one right here is Zhaodan."

"And look over there, that’s the legendary treasure basin of Shen Wansan."

"And this is the compass of the Ming Dynasty feng shui master, Wang Canghai."

"Furthermore, this is..."

The collections here were vast. If any one of them were to be auctioned, it could transform a pauper into an international celebrity overnight.

Xiao Liang gave Wu Tian a detailed introduction, but he couldn’t see even a hint of interest on Wu Tian’s face. This surprised him. "Mr. Wu Tian," he asked, "is there anything here that catches your eye?"

Wu Tian glanced around. "These are just mundane objects."

What?

Hearing Wu Tian’s words, Xiao Liang and Xia Qian were stunned. How could these items be mundane? These treasures could cause countless people to fight to the death and bankrupt their families.

"They’ve lost their original owners and their vitality. If they aren’t mundane, what are they?"

Wu Tian’s eyes, focused with Spiritual Power, could see what ordinary people could not. To him, these objects had already lost their life force; they were mere lifeless things.

Wu Tian’s statement left Xia Qian puzzled. How did he know these things were lifeless?

Xiao Liang, however, believed him and immediately asked, "Among all these collections, is there truly not a single one that isn’t lifeless?"

"That cauldron over there isn’t bad," Wu Tian said, pointing toward a corner.

It was a bronze cauldron that looked very old and worn. Among the priceless treasures, this cauldron looked plain and unremarkable. Xiao Liang had carelessly shoved it in a corner, where its mouth was now covered in cobwebs.

"I really can’t see anything special about this cauldron," Xiao Liang said, his eyes filled with confusion as he sought Wu Tian’s guidance.

"I can’t see it either," Xia Qian chimed in. She secretly wondered if Wu Tian could be mistaken. Even Saints make mistakes, let alone him.

"Ordinary? I wouldn’t be so sure." Wu Tian chuckled noncommittally. He extended a finger and pointed it at the distant bronze cauldron. Suddenly...
