Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016: Nangong Yu Arrives

”Report—”

The meeting ended, and just as everyone was about to leave, a disciple ran in from outside.

”Speak,” Su Han said.

The disciple remained silent but first glanced at Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran before looking at Su Han again, as if seeking permission to speak.

Su Han was taken aback and also turned to glance at Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran, both of whom were equally stunned.

”What’s the matter?” Su Han frowned.

Hearing this, the disciple sighed inwardly, understanding that the Sect Master had not understood his intention.

Since he didn’t understand, it was only right for him to be tormented by the two Sect Master’s Wives...

”Reporting to the Sect Master, Young Palace Master of One Slash Palace, Nangong Yu, requests an audience,” the disciple said loudly.

As soon as he said this, a sudden silence fell over the entire hall.

All eyes were now on Su Han, Xiao Yuhui, and Xiao Yuran.

What a joke, ever since Su Han was besieged by the Five Great Super Sects, who didn’t know Nangong Yu had fallen in love with Su Han?

Back then, for Su Han’s sake, Nangong Yu directly insulted the Heavenly Talent of the Sword Immortal Tomb, Chang Yuege. In the end, it almost escalated to Nangong Chenfeng taking action, and forced Chang Yuege to kneel and apologize.

This matter quickly spread across the Dragon Martial Continent, and everyone knew about Nangong Yu’s love for Su Han.

Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran naturally also knew.

However, everyone initially thought Su Han was dead, so this matter was not taken seriously.

Later, when Su Han returned, Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran were overjoyed and naturally ignored the matter.

Subsequently, Su Han was always busy organizing the Phoenix Sect’s affairs, and Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran felt heartache for him. Even if they remembered the matter, they never brought it up again.

But at this moment, the disciple’s report instantly reminded them of this issue.

”Ahem...”

Lian Yuze was the first to cough lightly and awkwardly said, ”Sect Master, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave first?”

”Mhm.”

Su Han nodded, but that ’mhm’ was entirely uttered from his nose.

Seeing this, Lian Yuze awkwardly chuckled again, signaled the others with a glance, and then turned to leave the hall.

Moments later, only Su Han, Xiao Yuhui, Xiao Yuran, and the disciple were left inside the hall.

Seeing the silence in the hall, the disciple’s forehead began to sweat, and he immediately said, ”Sect Master, may I also take my leave now?”

”What is your name?” Su Han suddenly asked.

The disciple’s body shuddered, and he replied bitterly, ”Disciple An Xiangzuo...”

”Very good, you have guts.”

Su Han said, ”Your pay will be docked for a year, now leave.”

”I...”

An Xiangzuo felt aggrieved and thought to himself, damn it, is this my fault too? I clearly signaled to you, can’t blame me if you didn’t understand, right?

He wanted to argue, but upon seeing Su Han’s expression, he turned and left without another word.

After An Xiangzuo left, Su Han then turned to look at Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran, revealing a big white smile.

”This... don’t misunderstand, rumors are just rumors, not to be believed,” Su Han said.

”Is that so?”

Xiao Yuhui glanced at Su Han and snorted, ”Anyway, I’m well aware of those rumors. Nangong Yu offended other Super Sects for your sake, such a grand love? The key is, you were already dead back then, and she still did it, showing her deep affection for you!”

Su Han rolled his eyes, showing a resigned expression, think what you want, the more I explain, the worse it sounds.

Seeing he wasn’t explaining anymore, Xiao Yuhui was even more furious, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Su Han was utterly helpless; women are like this—if you explain, they won’t believe, if you don’t, they get even angrier.

After Xiao Yuhui left, Su Han looked at Xiao Yuran again: ”Don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense, you know what kind of person I am, don’t you?”

”Yes, I know very well.”

Xiao Yuran smiled while staring at Su Han, ”Without my knowing, you and my sister turned fake into real, acting first and reporting later. Perhaps with Nangong Yu, both my sister and I are unaware, aren’t I right?”

Hearing this, Su Han completely admitted defeat.

His relationship with Xiao Yuhui wasn’t exactly hidden but happened while Su Han was aware. Fundamentally, this was a betrayal of Xiao Yuran, and her feeling aggrieved was understandable.

Towards Xiao Yuhui, Su Han might feel a bond of love, but towards Xiao Yuran, it was genuine affection.

”But it doesn’t matter.”

Xiao Yuran turned to leave, saying as she walked, ”Dragon Martial Continent is like this; strength rules, and men having multiple wives is common. From the moment I fell for you, I didn’t care how many disciples you might have in the future, as long as there’s a tiny place for me in your heart.”

With those words, Xiao Yuran gradually disappeared at the hall entrance.

Su Han remained silent, knowing that although Xiao Yuran spoke casually, she was certainly deeply aggrieved inside.

Reflecting back, since being with Xiao Yuran, he barely showed her care, even having a child with Xiao Yuhui first instead of her.

Sighing, Su Han shook his head in frustration, then turned and said loudly, ”Bring Nangong Yu to see me, and I’ll cancel the pay deduction for the year.”

”Alright!”

An Xiangzuo had been waiting outside the hall for Su Han to say this because he hadn’t mentioned letting Nangong Yu inside earlier.

Upon hearing Su Han’s words, An Xiangzuo immediately ran outside eagerly.

Moments later, a slender figure stood outside the hall.

Upon seeing Su Han, this figure shivered violently, and two streams of tears slowly slid down her eyes.

”It’s really you...”

Nangong Yu spoke in disbelief, her beautiful eyes widened, and her whole body trembled.

She reached out her hand, still far away, but seemed to want to touch Su Han’s face.

”You’ve lost weight...”

Looking at Nangong Yu’s expression, Su Han sighed again.

Now Nangong Yu looked much thinner than before, and she no longer had that vibrant and cheerful demeanor, appearing as if her state of mind had aged over ten years.

Su Han had only heard others say Nangong Yu had fallen in love with him, but he couldn’t imagine if this woman really ended up like this because of her feelings for him?

If not, he would be at ease.

If so, he would feel guilty.

But based on Su Han’s understanding of her, it seemed evident; with Nangong Yu’s background, status, and identity, apart from Nangong Duanchen, no one else could make her like this.

If anyone could, perhaps it was him.
