I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 453: Chapter 453: The Nangong Family of Luocheng

Nangong Ling’s family is located in the secondary base city of Luocheng, and is among the most influential families there, wielding immense influence.

The Holy Knight Nangong Su, at the peak of the Ninth Transformation, serves as the Deputy Director of Luocheng’s Education Department and the City Lord. Thanks to Nangong Su’s extraordinary power, status, and position, nearly no one in Luocheng dares to provoke someone from the Nangong Family.

With various accolades, the Nangong Clan acts with utmost discretion in Luocheng and has never oppressed the weak. The family’s reputation in Luocheng is quite good.

While on the way, Nangong Ling roughly introduced the situation at home.

Apart from her father, who is at the peak of the Ninth Transformation, the family also has two uncles with Ninth Transformation level strength. Besides these, the family has a total of twelve Eighth Transformation level professionals, all of whom are elders.

No wonder the Nangong Family holds such a position in the secondary base city; their strength, looking across the entire Xia, is, without exaggeration, a terrifyingly strong power.

As for the Ninth Transformation expert the family introduced, his name is Zhang Tiao. He comes from a small family and only achieved the Ninth Transformation in his early forties through relentless effort.

The Nangong family regards Zhang Tiao highly; in this world overflowing with power and desire, to achieve so much through individual capability is surely the mark of a talent.

Shenxiao’s setup is quite impressive, with direct teleportation arrays to various cities.

The two of them arrived in Luocheng, where the Nangong Family is located, after less than an hour of conversation.

Luocheng lives up to its status as a secondary base city; its urban infrastructure is excellent, clean and tidy, with an orderly arrangement, slightly inferior only to the Imperial Capital.

Just after exiting the Teleportation Hall, a young man exuding an air of nobility approached them.

”Cousin, you’re back~”

”I didn’t expect you could actually get leave, huh?”

Xia’s foremost academic institution, Shenxiao, is a gathering place for geniuses.

Studying at Shenxiao comes with tremendous pressure, and graduating is no simple task.

As for vacations, they are extremely scarce.

If not for teaming up with Lin Yi and earning a lot of rewards and credits, Nangong Ling wouldn’t have had the time to come home.

No wonder the younger-generation members of the Nangong Family were so astonished.

”Yeah, if I didn’t come back, your uncle would nag me into seclusion.”

”Let me introduce, my boyfriend, Lin Yi~”

With a serene demeanor, Nangong Ling introduced the handsome young man behind her amidst the shocked gazes of Lin Yi and Nangong Luan.

”What on earth, sis, you this....”

Nangong Luan clearly didn’t expect such a situation, so much that his jaw nearly dropped.

”What ’you this’, call him brother-in-law!”

After getting a light smack on the back of his head, Nangong Luan came back to his senses, extending his hand awkwardly towards Lin Yi: Hello, brother-in-law. I’m Nangong Luan, you can call me Xiao Luan~

There’s quite a distance from the Teleportation Hall to the Nangong Family. Along the way, Nangong Luan asked many questions.

What he cared about the most was how his cousin and her ”brother-in-law” got together.

Lin Yi, with a serious face, pondered carefully and gave a response that made Nangong Ling grit her teeth in anger.

”Xiao Luan, this matter needs to be traced back to the second week after I enrolled. As you know, your sister and I are both students of Shenxiao.”

”I recall that day, inside the Shenxiao Arena, my skills amazed everyone. My handsome form, just in a fleeting glance, completely captivated Senior Sister Nangong Ling, and then.....”

Listening to Lin Yi’s exaggerated description, Nangong Ling, sitting in the passenger seat, turned green in anger.

Thinking this junior was trying to make everything seem more legitimate with good intentions, she had to hold back.

The Nangong Family is located in the Beihui Mountain Range, at the northernmost part of Sucheng.

The entire mountain range is enveloped in a thin mist, concealing the Nangong Family within. The partially visible cluster of buildings gives off a sense of mystery and transcendental elegance at first glance.

The Nangong Family’s architectural style is very old, following classic designs from thousands of years ago.

Somewhat out of tune with this technologically advanced era, it also highlights the Nangong Tribe’s long history well.

As soon as the car reached the foot of Beihui Mountain, the Nangong Family’s dedicated enforcement team advanced for identity verification.

Upon learning that the eldest daughter had returned, several middle-aged men of the enforcement team smiled joyfully.

Nangong Ling’s admission to Shenxiao and achievements at such a young age make her, without exaggeration, the pride of the entire Nangong Tribe.

After some pleasantries, Lin Yi and the other two successfully advanced deeper into Beihui Mountain.

Near the mountain top of Beihui Mountain, there is a spacious open area.

The tribe members of significant family status and the family ancestral hall are located there.

”Hehe, Zhang, you are too modest.”

”To have achieved so much shortly after forty years of age, your future prospects are limitless.”

”Don’t worry, this marriage is something I can decide on. Though my girl is a bit naughty, she won’t dare go against me.”

Nangong Ling’s home is filled with quaint and classic old furniture.

The Sect Leader donned a moon-white robe, his posture resembling a pine, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, deep eyes, and a face with chiseled, stern features, exuding a presence of authority without anger.

At this moment, he is smiling in the living room, entertaining Zhang Tiao from afar. This person, apart from Nangong Su, the Patriarch of the Nangong Family, who else could it be?

The young man sitting opposite, wearing a neat suit, has bright and sharp eyes, and after several exchanges, appears even more composed and respectful.

Adding a reasonably good appearance, Nangong Su is very satisfied with this future son-in-law.

”Uncle Nangong, you’re joking. This matter depends entirely on Miss Ling. In this era, free love is valued. If my ability falls short and Miss Ling doesn’t fancy me, it will only be because my fate is thin and fortune shallow.”

These remarks are not entirely sincere.

Yet they sound quite pleasing to Nangong Su.

How could Zhang Tiao easily give up on Nangong Ling?

The Nangong Family in Luocheng, with a legacy of thousands of years, holds how many resources?

Nangong Ling is both talented and beautiful in Luocheng. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a grand lady as a wife?

”Indeed, your fate is thin, and we indeed are not meant to be.”

The harmonious atmosphere was broken by a crisp, melodious voice.

Looking over at the voice, a stunning figure in a light pink gauzy dress entered with an air of pride.

The slight wisp of resentment on her face made her look even more enchanting.

”Child, you’re back?”

Seeing the arrival, a loving expression immediately appeared on Nangong Su’s face.

”Come, this is....”

Nangong Su hadn’t even had time to introduce the promising young man beside him when, in an unbelievable turn of events, Nangong Ling pulled out the handsome young man behind her and playfully entwined her arm around his.

”Hello, uncle. I’m Lin Yi~”

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, politely extending his hand to Nangong Su.

The demure and dependent look of his daughter is the first time Nangong Su had seen.

The relationship between the two needed no further explanation; even a fool could see through it.
