469: Chu Nan understood again
Shu Miaohua's crescent-moon eyebrows furrowed together. After a moment of thought, she said, "Let the clan elders receive him."
"Madam, is that appropriate?"
Shi Minghui looked troubled.
Long Tianyu sent people daily to deliver gifts and inquire about their well-being, his intention of having both mother and daughter was already clear.
Now, he had even condescended to visit in person, clearly wanting to see Shu Miaohua and Shi Jingqiong, the mother and daughter.
If they didn't meet him, wouldn't that be a blatant slap in Long Tianyu's face?
One must know that Long Tianyu was a late-stage Immortal King, a supreme magnate in the Immortal Realm. Even if their ancestor hadn't passed away, they wouldn't dare offend Long Tianyu, let alone now that he had.
"What's inappropriate? I am a woman; how can I show my face? You go!"
Shu Miaohua's eyes slightly chilled, and she waved her hand, displaying noble authority in every gesture.
For her, the sky falling was a minor matter; fulfilling Gu Qing's instructions was the top priority.
Chu Nan was a hidden Immortal King; without her present, these subordinates couldn't possibly keep an eye on Chu Nan.
Moreover, Long Tianyu might not necessarily be coming to see them, the mother and daughter; he was probably here for another reason.
"As expected of Mother-in-Law..." Chu Nan gazed dazedly at the domineering Shu Miaohua.
He had always known that Shu Miaohua was noble and proud, yet also pure and lovely, unfamiliar with social niceties and the treachery of human hearts.
She was like a white lotus emerging from the mud unstained, noble and sacred.
Even an Immortal King magnate visiting wouldn't elicit a change in her expression.
"However, Mother-in-Law is rejecting Long Tianyu's face. With Long Tianyu's ruthless and vicious nature, he definitely won't let it go. But so what? I, Chu Nan, am no longer the Chu Nan of yesteryear. I am also an Immortal King; no one can harm a single hair on Mother-in-Law's head." Chu Nan's gaze gradually firmed as he secretly vowed.
"Yes, yes!"
Shi Minghui's voice trembled. How could he, a mere Profound God, be qualified to meet Long Tianyu?
However, Shu Miaohua had always been a woman of her word, allowing no one to disobey her.
Shi Minghui led a group of high-ranking officials out to receive Long Tianyu with solemn etiquette.
Before long, Long Tianyu, accompanied by two eunuchs, walked over with a leisurely expression. Although he had restrained his aura, he exuded an inherent imperial presence.
"We respectfully greet Your Majesty Tianyu!"
Everyone bowed, their expressions extremely tense, their backs drenched in sweat.
They were not people of the Tianlong Dynasty, so they could respectfully address Long Tianyu by his Daoist title.
"No need for formalities!"
Long Tianyu smiled warmly. Even without seeing Shu Miaohua and her daughter, his expression remained unchanged.
He made a gesture to help them up and walked directly into the Shi family residence, heading straight for Shi Jingqiong's abode.
Since the mother and daughter refused to come out, it was the same if he went to see them. He wanted to see who this Qing Gongzi truly was.
And also, how deep the relationship between the Shi family and the Boundless Divine Sect truly was.
If their relationship wasn't deep, then this mother and daughter pair were of no use to him.
From beginning to end, he only wanted to establish a connection with the Boundless Divine Sect and reconcile with Gu Qing.
Years ago, Gu Qing had killed his son, Long Jue. He wanted to kill Gu Qing, but was stopped by Immortal King He Guang.
Until this hidden danger was resolved, Long Tianyu could not rest easy.
As for this pair of peerless beauties, the mother and daughter, he was somewhat moved, but not overly so. He had no interest whatsoever in the vast industries of the Shi family.
The Supreme Great Dao was his only pursuit in this life.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap!"
"Mother-in-Law... listen to me... Ugh!"
Before Chu Nan could finish speaking, a withered old hand covered his mouth, and he was subjected to severe punishment.
"This humble woman greets Your Majesty Tianyu."
Upon seeing Long Tianyu arrive, Shu Miaohua curtsied, her expression neither humble nor arrogant, but noble and proud.
She secretly sighed, Long Tianyu indeed wasn't here for them, the mother and daughter. Gu Qing had just arrived at the Shi family, and Long Tianyu followed right after; the answer was obvious.
"No need for formalities. I have long heard of Madam Shi's peerless beauty, as if she were an ancient goddess. Seeing her today, it is indeed true." Long Tianyu said with a smile, not even glancing at Chu Nan.
"Your Majesty Tianyu overpraises me. This humble woman is of humble beauty; how can I bear the face of a goddess?" Shu Miaohua said, then continued to instruct the four nannies to continue torturing Chu Nan.
Chu Nan: "..."
Couldn't they let him catch his breath? Although with his cultivation as an Immortal King, these nannies couldn't harm him at all.
In fact, if he didn't allow it, these ants couldn't even get close to him.
But Shu Miaohua's ruthlessness truly suffocated him.
"No..." Chu Nan secretly shook his head. Shu Miaohua definitely wasn't genuinely trying to torment him; she was just trying to protect him through the means of torment.
He knew that Long Tianyu had always wanted to eradicate him, and even if he became a useless son-in-law, Long Tianyu still wouldn't let him go.
"Madam Shi, I heard that a disciple of the Boundless Divine Sect has visited. I wonder if you could introduce him to me?" Long Tianyu's lips curved into a smile, giving off a refreshing feeling.
His divine sense had already swept towards the room, and the profound restrictive divine patterns made his heart solemn.
To be able to block even his Immortal King divine sense, this so-called Qing Gongzi's identity and strength were definitely not simple, perhaps another Divine King.
Long Tianyu suspected that Qing Gongzi might be a disciple of the Peerless Twins, as powerful as Gu Qing.
As for whether Qing Gongzi was Gu Qing, Long Tianyu had not dismissed the thought. But as soon as the idea surfaced, he rejected it.
