Chapter 619 - 619 The Li Familys Illegitimate

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: The Li Family’s Illegitimate Child [The 26th Update] Chapter 619: Chapter 619: The Li Family’s Illegitimate Child [The 26th Update] “It is said that the mysterious woman may very well come from an Ancient Sect.”

“I’ve heard the same, and if you think about it carefully, it seems quite possible.”

“With such powerful cultivation and being so young, only an Ancient Sect could produce such a formidable powerhouse.”

Nangong Tuo didn’t make any remarks; whether the mysterious woman was from an Ancient Sect, no one could be certain. But whether she was from an Ancient Sect or not, there was no doubt that she possessed powerful cultivation.

…

The plane landed at Athens International Airport, and as soon as Li Xiaoyao and Nangong Ling’er stepped out, a group of people immediately came up to greet them.

Li Xiaoyao looked over and recognized them as people from the Nangong Family.

...

“I am Nangong Tuo, the Fourth Elder of the Nangong Family. You must be Young Master Li, right?” The leader, Nangong Tuo, saw Li Xiaoyao and Nangong Ling’er disembarking and glanced curiously behind them, but didn’t see any other members of the Li family clan, which inevitably raised some doubts in his mind.

“I am,” said Li Xiaoyao in a detached voice, showing little enthusiasm.

And this attitude of his also displeased some of the Nangong Family members.

In terms of status, all the eight factions of Xuan Country were on the same level; no one was higher than the other.

In terms of respect, Nangong Tuo, the Fourth Elder of the Nangong Family, had personally come to greet him, yet he responded with such an indifferent expression, which was disrespectful to the entire Nangong Family.

Nangong Tuo wasn’t particularly bothered by his demeanor and looked away to the back, asking, “Hehe, I wonder which members of the Li Family have come this time?”

“Just me alone,” said Li Xiaoyao.

“Just you alone?” Nangong Tuo was clearly incredulous. The Hui Country Secret Realm was such an important matter, and the Li Family had only sent Li Xiaoyao? This seemed too frivolous.

Nangong Tuo looked at Nangong Ling’er, who had been on the plane all along, and she should know.

Nangong Ling’er nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s only Brother Li alone.”

Nangong Tuo became somewhat unsettled. He had assumed that the mysterious woman would come along with Li Xiaoyao. At the very least, the Li Family would send a few Elders with a strong cultivation level.

Now, however, not only had the mysterious woman not come, but those Elders didn’t either, leaving only Li Xiaoyao?

This… What was the Li Family thinking?

“Hehe, the Li Family really has some nerve, this being the Hui Country Secret Realm, and they’ve just sent one person?”

Someone finally found the opportunity to start mocking.

Li Xiaoyao wasn’t angered. After all, back when he was outside the Human Realm, the Nangong Family had lent him a helping hand in his time of crisis. He had to acknowledge this kindness from the Nangong Family.

“If there is nothing else, I’ll be going now,” Li Xiaoyao said politely before preparing to leave.

Nangong Tuo hastily said, “Young Master Li, you must be here for the Hui Country Secret Realm as well. Since that’s the case, why don’t we go together? It’s also good to have company. What do you think, Young Master Li?”

“Yes, yes, Brother Li, let’s go together,” Nangong Ling’er said, shaking Li Xiaoyao’s arm back and forth.

Li Xiaoyao had originally intended to act alone, which would have been much more convenient for him, without so many concerns. However, faced with the invitation from the Nangong Family, it was difficult for him to refuse outright, lest he appear ungracious.

After much thought, Li Xiaoyao eventually nodded and said, “Then I will trouble Elder Nangong Tuo.”

“Heh, it’s no trouble at all,” Nangong Tuo forced a smile, his heart filled with speechlessness. The Li Family had only sent Li Xiaoyao this time, a number that he found quite frustrating.

But at least there was Li Xiaoyao. After all, Li Xiaoyao’s formidable cultivation level was unquestionable, and he could act as half an Elder.

Nangong Tuo comforted himself in this way, but the clan members below didn’t think the same. They felt that Li Xiaoyao’s involvement with the Nangong Family was just taking advantage of them.

Nangong Feng didn’t give Li Xiaoyao any friendly looks throughout, as anyone who saw the woman they liked hugging another man wouldn’t feel pleased.

The group exited the airport where the luxury limousine arranged beforehand was waiting to transport them to Athens’ most luxurious five-star hotel.

After flying for more than ten hours, even though cultivators didn’t feel fatigued, they all understood what they were about to face, so they chose to rest well the night before heading to the Hui Country Secret Realm.

Upon arrival at the hotel, they checked in.

After staying in his room for a while, Li Xiaoyao picked up the phone and dialed Nangong Tuo’s room.

“Elder Nangong Tuo, do you have a moment?”

Nangong Tuo was surprised to receive the call. He didn’t know what Li Xiaoyao might want with him. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “Meet me in the lobby’s lounge area in ten minutes.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao immediately headed out. Just then, the door next to his opened, and Ling’er emerged from her room.

Their eyes met, and Ling’er hurried over, saying, “Big Brother Li, I have something to tell you.”

“Hmm? What is it?” Li Xiaoyao replied. “Let’s talk downstairs. I have something to take care of as well.”

The two took the elevator down to the lobby.

The lounge area in the lobby was not crowded. Those seated and resting there were all foreigners, whose eyes widened in awe at the sight of Ling’er, unable to look away.

Li Xiaoyao asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ling’er twisted her hands together nervously and said cautiously, “Big Brother Li, I heard that Uncle Li might have run into some trouble.”

Li Xiaoyao’s palm trembled slightly as he asked nonchalantly, “Who did you hear that from?”

“I overheard their conversation. They said that the Hui Country Secret Realm is particularly dangerous. The sea area is usually very calm, without even a trace of a wave, but as soon as it feels threatened, it becomes very violent. It’s as if there’s a huge demon beast lurking beneath the sea.”

“The Hui Country Secret Realm is definitely fraught with danger; otherwise, it wouldn’t attract so many powers. But what it’s actually like, we’ll naturally find out when we go there tomorrow,” Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.

Ling’er had thought that Li Xiaoyao would be furious and agitated upon hearing the news. Seeing him so composed, she let out a long sigh of relief.

“Ling’er.” Nangong Feng appeared from nowhere, walking briskly towards them and casting a disdainful glance at Li Xiaoyao.

Ling’er frowned slightly and asked, “Do you need something?”

“How can you be with someone like him?” Nangong Feng verbally attacked. “You are the pride of Nangong Family, and he’s just an illegitimate child of the Li Family. How can you be friends with someone like that?”

“Nangong Feng, shut your mouth!” Ling’er angrily rebuked, unable to believe that Nangong Feng would utter such a personal attack.

Li Xiaoyao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his palm unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Unperturbed, Nangong Feng sniffed and said, “Ling’er, my words might be unpleasant, but everything I said is true. If you befriend this illegitimate child, you’ll be looked down upon by many of our clan members.”
