189: I have a stupid daughter.

Feeling that her father had no unusual expression and wasn't angry, Southern Palace Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Actually, it wasn't that Nangong Zhan had no unusual reaction; he simply knew his daughter's personality well.

For her to willingly call someone "Uncle," it proved that the other party was extremely extraordinary.

Moreover, that person was not from the Nangong Family, but from the Ancient Domain Xiao Clan...

Facing Nangong Zhan's question, Southern Palace Yan slightly lowered her head before speaking.

"Father, he..."

The moment the word "he" left her lips, Southern Palace Yan shivered.

She felt as if a large hand was subtly raised behind her backside, about to fall heavily to discipline her...

Southern Palace Yan was on the verge of tears.

"Father, Uncle Mu's cultivation... daughter cannot discern it!"

Only when Southern Palace Yan said this cleanly and clearly did she let out a breath.

The large hand behind her backside seemed to have lowered...

Nangong Hao's expression towards Southern Palace Yan grew even more peculiar.

But due to his father's presence, he didn't say anything out of line.

However, Nangong Zhan was clearly an old fox; he instinctively sensed something unusual.

"Yan'er, is your Uncle Mu very strong?"

Southern Palace Yan lowered her head, recalling how she had presumptuously attacked Mu Wuchen, then was subdued by a single blow from Mu Wuchen, her wrist seized, a strange bracelet placed on her, and made to perform such embarrassing actions. Southern Palace Yan's face immediately flushed.

"Yes, Father, he..."

"Uncle Mu's strength far surpasses your daughter's!"

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Nangong Zhan's expression showed a hint of inexplicable meaning as he continued to inquire.

"He..."

"Is he very young?"

Southern Palace Yan's head dropped even lower.

"Yes."

"His appearance is outstanding, and his status in the Xiao Family is very high?"

Nangong Zhan was persistent.

Southern Palace Yan buried her head directly into her chest.

"Yes, he..."

"Uncle Mu... he is the most handsome man I have ever seen. His status in the Xiao Family..."

Southern Palace Yan secretly glanced at Nangong Zhan's expression, and finding nothing unusual, she finally spoke her inner thoughts.

"Daughter vaguely feels it's even higher than Xiao Clan Leader Xiao Qian; Xiao Qian is very respectful to him..."

Hearing Southern Palace Yan's words, Nangong Zhan was even more surprised.

Southern Palace Yan was clearly not lying, and something had definitely happened between her and the "Uncle Mu" she spoke of, otherwise, she would never be like this.

Furthermore...

Nangong Zhan keenly caught something unusual.

A young genius, exceptionally handsome, even Xiao Qian had to be respectful to him, and his own daughter, after only meeting a few times, looked like she was ready to give herself away...

Nangong Zhan was an old fox, and in his youth, he was a playboy, leaving behind many romantic entanglements. Nangong Hao and Southern Palace Yan, whose talents were no weaker than his, were naturally able to see Southern Palace Yan's unusual behavior.

He had long noticed Nangong Hao's secret affection for Beichen Lintian, but it was nowhere near Southern Palace Yan's current level...

And who was Xiao Qian!

A powerful expert whose strength was on par with his own!

A top expert at the ninth level of the Emperor Realm!

He actually had to be respectful to the person Southern Palace Yan spoke of?

Looking at Nangong Zhan's eyes full of inexplicable expressions, with a hint of curiosity and gossip mixed in, Southern Palace Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It's over.

It's Barbie Q'd.

Her father must have misunderstood!

She and that...

She and Uncle Mu really didn't have that kind of relationship!

The more Southern Palace Yan thought about it, the more embarrassed she became; the more embarrassed, the more she thought; the more she thought, the redder her face got; and the redder her face got, the more peculiar Nangong Zhan's expression became!

Then Southern Palace Yan suddenly thought of something.

"Father!"

Southern Palace Yan finally couldn't hold back, suddenly stepping forward and speaking loudly.

If she didn't interrupt this strange scene, she wouldn't be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Ancient Domain Yellow River!

"He..."

"Uncle Mu gave me something before he left, and he told me to give it to you!"

Nangong Zhan and Nangong Hao both looked at Southern Palace Yan curiously.

Southern Palace Yan quickly walked to Nangong Zhan's side, reached into her clothes, fumbled around, and then pulled out a pink spherical object, placing it into Nangong Zhan's hand.

Nangong Zhan curiously examined the pink sphere as he took it.

However, the moment it entered his hand, he felt an extremely vast and peculiar power instantly envelop his entire body. Facing that power, he actually felt as insignificant as an ant!

Nangong Zhan was greatly alarmed, his eyes suddenly widened, and he instinctively took a few steps backward. At the same time, the terrifying power belonging to the Emperor Realm instantly permeated the entire area, directly Pressure Southern Palace Yan and Nangong Hao gasped for breath!

Feeling this sudden change, Southern Palace Yan and Nangong Hao quickly rose and knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling violently, not daring to speak!

They.

Had never seen their father like this before!

However, in just a few breaths, Nangong Zhan returned to normal.

The aura around him began to slowly recede, and his eyes regained their usual calm, but the shock in his expression still lingered for a long time...

"Father, it's daughter's fault..."

Southern Palace Yan trembled as she quickly prepared to apologize.

Nangong Zhan had become so furious only after receiving the sphere she gave him, so it was very likely that the pink sphere had a problem!

Her actions this time might have completely ruined things...

Nangong Zhan, however, waved his hand, interrupting her words.

"Both of you, get up."

At this moment, Nangong Zhan's expression suddenly became more solemn than ever before.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly walked to Southern Palace Yan's side and slowly spoke.

"Yan'er, tell Father, where did you get that sphere just now?"

Seeing her father's appearance, Southern Palace Yan was stunned. She dared not conceal anything and quickly replied.

"Father, it was..."

"It was given to me by Uncle Mu."

As soon as she spoke, she seemed to remember something and added another sentence.

"It was..."

"It was condensed by a little maidservant next to Uncle Mu who has no cultivation but is very obedient to him."

Hearing Southern Palace Yan's words, Nangong Zhan slightly closed his eyes and slowly exhaled the turbid breath, seemingly calming his inner emotions.

His daughter just said that it was from a little maidservant next to Uncle Mu, who had no cultivation, and was very obedient...

A little maidservant...

Oh my goodness.

My foolish daughter.

Why didn't I realize before that my daughter was so foolish?

After calming down for a while, Nangong Zhan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Southern Palace Yan with an inexplicable expression and slowly spoke.

"Yan'er, you're not young anymore. When you go out in the future, dress more beautifully."

As if still not reassured, he continued to add.

"When you meet a man you like, be gentle, considerate, and sensible. Learn to act spoiled, and don't always think about wielding swords and fighting."

Hearing this, Southern Palace Yan's face instantly flushed.

Her old man never taught her this way before, okay?

What Nangong Zhan used to tell her was—

"Yan'er, you are my, Nangong Zhan's, daughter! No man in the Ancient Domain is worthy of you!"

"Even if you find someone you like in the future, they will marry into our family! You must learn excellent skills and make them completely obedient!"

How could this attitude suddenly change like this now?!
