Chen Ye's uncle.

Nangong Bo looked at the eight tokens in the gift box, a little surprised.

This fellow… the son-in-law’s gift is quite valuable.

Inside the gift box, eight profound and heavy tokens were neatly arranged.

The front of the tokens was engraved with the words “Sacred Hall,” and the back was inscribed with an indescribably wondrous “Dao” character, which made one feel vast just by looking at it.

With Nangong Bo’s discernment, he could naturally recognize this item: it was actually a token that allowed one to listen to a Saint of the Sacred Hall preach the Dao, and there were eight of them.

Each of these things was priceless.

He actually gave eight at once?

Nangong Bo stared blankly at this scene, still finding it hard to believe, as if it were a dream.

“He…”

“Why are you spacing out? Let me see.”

Shangguan Yanxi snatched the gift box, wanting to see what it was that could surprise him so much.

She also looked a little lost in thought.

Besides the eight tokens, there were also nine Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm fruits, and ten fragments of a Sacred Artifact.

Compared to Nangong Bo’s disbelief, Shangguan Yanxi, besides being shocked, was more joyful.

I knew Xiao Fan, this young man, was excellent and valued my Xi Meng.

“Look, he came with such sincerity to wish you a happy birthday, yet you’re putting on a sour face. Control yourself. If you mess up our daughter’s marriage, I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”

“Did you hear me?”

Nangong Bo was speechless, feeling that this son-in-law seemed quite pleasing to the eye.

When a person encounters a happy event, their spirits are refreshed.

Shangguan Yanxi held the little Fang in her hands and said with a beaming smile.

“Little Fang, where do you want to play?”

Little Fang shyly rubbed her small hands and said, “I want to bring my little white crane and little tiger, and then we can play anywhere.”

Shangguan Yanxi said softly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Little Fang felt Shangguan Yanxi’s kindness and rubbed her face against hers, very affectionately.

Shangguan Yanxi also responded with a smile; she was truly a well-behaved and adorable child.

Nangong Bo looked at this scene and also wanted to hug Little Fang to feel her obedience, but Shangguan Yanxi directly slapped his hand away.

“Don’t scare the child. Get lost.”

Nangong Bo: “…”

I didn’t do anything, okay?

…………

Xiao Fan strolled around the mansion with NanGong XiMeng, enjoying a quiet moment of leisure.

“Don’t mind him; my father is just like that.”

“Of course, how could I get angry with him?”

Xiao Fan said indifferently.

NanGong XiMeng felt a little relieved; her father was indeed a bit neurotic.

As the two chatted, Xiao Fan recalled the malicious gaze that had spied on him.

He asked, “Does your family have any mortal enemies?”

“Like, you annihilated someone’s entire family, but not thoroughly enough.”

NanGong XiMeng was puzzled, wondering why he suddenly asked this question.

“Probably not. Our Nangong Family has been able to continue to this day, so we naturally wouldn’t leave behind any trouble.”

“Moreover, even if we had enemies, they wouldn’t dare to show their faces.”

“Our Nangong Family still has some heritage; even Primordial Great Luo Cultivators have to bow their heads.”

NanGong XiMeng said this very naturally.

There was no boasting; it was like stating a fact, which was the confidence of a Saint’s lineage.

“Is that so?”

Xiao Fan nodded slightly. So what was going on with that guy at the gate today?

One could only say that he truly lived up to being a Child of Destiny, still able to jump around lively.

Based on NanGong XiMeng’s understanding of Xiao Fan, he would never speak idly; he must have meant something.

“Did you find something?” she asked.

“Indeed, today at the main gate, I found some rats and cockroaches hiding in the gutter,” Xiao Fan said.

“Do you want me to send someone to deal with them?”

“No need; he shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.”

Xiao Fan didn’t want to tip his hand; if a Child of Destiny wanted to cause trouble, ordinary people going would only be sending themselves to their deaths. It was better for him to handle it.

………………

Chen Ye returned to his group and continued to act as their attendant.

Recalling the eye contact he had with that person today, he always felt a bad premonition.

Was it danger? He wasn’t sure.

No matter how dangerous the situation, he could always turn peril into safety and even grow in adversity.

So he didn’t feel that he was in danger; at most, he would experience some hardships, as good things often come with twists and turns.

“Forget it, I won’t think about these things. The top priority should be to find a way to rescue my mother.”

He asked his good friend to inquire about the detailed arrangements for the Nangong Family Head’s birthday celebration this time.

Taking out a Jade Slip, he carefully observed the detailed arrangements for the birthday banquet to see if there was an opportunity.

“When the banquet begins, arrange for everyone to enter the main hall and present their congratulatory gifts in turn.”

“Take your seats, wait for the banquet to begin…”

Chen Ye read word by word, fearing any omissions.

Suddenly, he saw a line of text.

“To provide a stage for the younger generation present to showcase themselves, a martial arts competition will be specially held to allow young people to display their brilliance.”

“Participants must be within 100,000 years of age, with no restrictions on cultivation Realm.”

“The winner can obtain a Fire God Crystal Eye and also make one request to the Nangong Family.”

Make a request!

Chen Ye’s eyes lit up; everything he wanted was coming true. Wasn’t this giving him an opportunity?

“As long as I win against everyone there, I’ll make a request to him: release my mother.”

“If he refuses, he will be breaking his word in public, and the Nangong Family will lose all face. If he agrees to my request, then I won’t have to bother thinking about those Evil Path methods.”

“However, it’s more likely that he’ll only agree to half of it, making me go and split the mountain myself.”

Chen Ye thought a lot, but he never considered that he would come in second, being beneath others.

After all, since the day he was born, whenever there was a competition, he always took first place.

While he was pondering, a middle-aged man wearing silver armor and golden boots, with a purple-gold hair crown, a cold and handsome face, and a profound aura, walked in.

Behind the middle-aged man followed a group of people.

They were the people from the faction that brought Chen Ye in.

“Senior Nangong, why have you come? This is too much honor for me. If we were to meet, it should be us visiting you.”

The people from this faction saw Nangong Hengwu disregard them and walk directly towards Chen Ye’s residence, feeling very worried.

Could it be that Chen Ye’s identity was exposed, and Nangong Hengwu was coming to apprehend him?

But that didn’t seem right either.

Nangong Hengwu held a very high position in the Nangong Family, second only to the Nangong Family Head, and was the leader of a main branch of the Nangong Family.

Even if he wanted to arrest someone, he wouldn’t need to come in person, would he?

Never mind, I’ll speak louder; Chen Ye should be able to hear my voice and hide.

Those people from the faction were on good terms with Chen Ye, and even though they had arrived at the door, they still wanted to conceal it and cover for Chen Ye.

However, before they could speak.

Chen Ye opened the door himself and met Nangong Hengwu face to face.

“This…”

Chen Ye’s friend was about to explain but was stopped by Chen Ye.

Chen Ye: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. You all may retreat first.”

Since Chen Ye had spoken, they had no objections and consciously retreated.

Nangong Hengwu and Chen Ye looked at each other without speaking.

However, one side was fearless.

One side carried a faint smile.

“What are you doing here?” Chen Ye said indifferently.

“What, aren’t you inviting me in to sit?” Nangong Hengwu smiled.

Chen Ye stepped aside, allowing Nangong Hengwu to enter.

The reason he was so bold was because of his outstanding strength; even when facing a Primordial Great Luo, he showed no fear.

Chen Ye’s emotionless voice sounded.

“Now you can state your purpose, my… good uncle.”
