Chapter 733: Entering the Academy Together
Lan Ning and Lan Yi, aware that Ye Nanxin came from a humble place, still didn't scorn her but respected their daughter's choice.
Just this alone was enough for Lin Qian to hold them in high regard, deeming their character to be exceptional.
Such people deserved to be family; otherwise, Lin Qian would have long concealed his own extraordinary abilities and would never have helped the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan enhance their strength.
Furthermore, what pestered Lin Qian was that many things on Xuanhuan Star were valued quite differently from this outside world.
For example, the antidote for the Netherworld Poison was simply concocted by Huasheng's subordinates without much effort, and was considered of little value, hardly worth mentioning.
Yet in the eyes of Lan Ning, Lan Yi, and others, it was extremely valuable, provoking unexplainable amazement and scaring them to the point of uncontrollable emotions.
At this moment, the two looked at Lin Qian with complex expressions. Although they considered him one of their own, the gift he had brought was simply too generous.
Both felt that Lin Qian didn't seem like someone who came from a remote and isolated place.
"Lan Yi, you must quickly take some people to Lanyun Mountain to see if the Netherworld Clan is still there. If they're gone, see if any clues can be found," Lan Ning, having snapped back to his senses, hastily instructed his son after a while. "Handle this matter in secret; don't make a fuss and alarm our people."
Lan Yi nodded and turned to leave, acting according to his father's orders.
Still, as he departed, Lan Yi kept looking back, frowning at Ye Nanxin, unable to associate her with any Immortal Realm Bloodline Power.
Seeing that his granddaughter had escaped from danger, Lan Ning also breathed a sigh of relief. It was then that he curiously turned towards Ye Nanxin.
"So you're Little Ye. My precious granddaughter often speaks of you," Lan Ning said, looking at Ye Nanxin with an approving expression, carefully scrutinizing her. "Indeed, a talented individual. Initially, Fenger mentioned your qualifications and background were not particularly impressive. However, her father and I share the same thought—we're happy as long as Fenger is happy. Since you two truly love each other, of course, we wouldn't interfere."
"It's just that, after your arrival, the reality is quite different from what Fenger described," Lan Ning said with a wry smile, then his face showed curiosity, "I wonder what your Immortal Realm Bloodline Power looks like. Could you show this old man?"
Lan Ning's kind demeanor instantly narrowed the distance between them, causing Ye Nanxin's mood to relax substantially.
At this point, Ye Nanxin felt that his wife's grandfather was not difficult to get along with.
Since he had spoken in such a manner, it would be out of place for her to be reluctant, so she nodded in agreement, "As Grandfather commands, I shall comply."
As her voice fell, Ye Nanxin took a deep breath; the Soul Energy hidden deep within surged to the surface, enveloping her entire body.
After gathering her energy, the imposing strength of the Soul Energy made it incomparable to mere Soul Power.
The manifested Soul Energy burned fiercely, emitting terrifying high temperatures.
If it weren't for the fact that everything in the room was specially made and the Giant Wutong Wood itself was resistant to flames, it probably would have already caught fire.
Even so, smoke began to rise from various spots around the room as if they might ignite at any moment.
Enveloped in flames, Ye Nanxin looked like a Fire Emperor incarnate, her aura dramatically changed, like a sovereign of fire, gazing down upon the world.
Lin Qian's imperial aura and majesty naturally emerged due to his father-in-law's presence, enveloping his mother-in-law on the bed to prevent her from being affected by the latter's aura.
Beside him, Ye Xin, with the will of an empress, also effortlessly dealt with her own father's oppressive force.
This method was something that Ye Xin had just barely managed to master under the tutelage of Zhuge Ming in the past few days.
Lan Ning inside the room was utterly stunned, staring at Ye Nanxin with furrowed brows. To his surprise, Ye Nanxin's aura had exerted a tremendous pressure on him.
"Immortal Realm Bloodline, impressive!" In front of him stood Ye Nanxin, dignified and imposing. Lan Ning certainly wasn't blind and could easily discern the exceptional nature of the other. Indeed, he felt himself being suppressed by Ye Nanxin's presence.
The Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan, though aligned with the Starry Sky Power, also had a Fire Attribute, being a branch of the Phoenix lineage.
Yet it was Ye Nanxin's aura that steadily suppressed his own.
Lan Ning understood that this suppression was not a matter of Realm but of Bloodline.
The other's Bloodline Power was far superior to that of the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan, hence the suppression.
Lan Ning guessed that even the strongest Bloodline of the Phoenix lineage – the Fire Phoenix clan – would likely be completely suppressed in Ye Nanxin's presence.
Then, Lan Ning's gaze shifted to another pair – Lin Qian and Ye Xin. The aura of these two also astonished him greatly.
At this moment, Lin Qian and Ye Xin, in Lan Ning's eyes, were no longer mere children but lofty wielders of power, holding life and death in their hands.
Especially the one named Lin Qian – the aura emanating from him was utterly terrifying.
In the Sea Spiral Star Domain, Lan Ning had seen many Human Emperors and Great Emperors, and he had encountered numerous Emperors and sovereigns of other races.
But the sensation that Lin Qian gave off was entirely unprecedented.
For some reason, a thought suddenly flitted through Lan Ning's mind: ordained by the heavens, a Son of Heaven!
As this notion surfaced, Lan Ning felt his heart constrict as if struck by lightning, and he dared not ponder further.
When he looked up again, his heart was tumultuous, struggling to calm down.
Turning his gaze to his granddaughter's daughter, he could distinctly feel the essence of an empress within her. However, this aura was dependent on the Imperial intent and Imperial aura of Lin Qian, complementing and inseparable from one another.
Their mutual compatibility only enhanced their power.
At the same time, Lan Ning also understood why his granddaughter's aura had changed so rapidly, surpassing both himself and Lan Yi, and even stronger than the princess of the Fire Phoenix clan.
"It seems that Fenger has found herself a good husband," Lan Ning thought, taking a deep look at Ye Nanxin. The changes in his granddaughter were undoubtedly linked to Ye Nanxin.
Lan Ning suddenly realized that his granddaughter's family was far from ordinary.
Then, Lan Ning grew curious about what Lin Qian's parents might be like, whether they were also extraordinary?
After demonstrating her Talent, Ye Nanxin also retracted her Soul Energy, looking somewhat nervously at Lan Ning.
"I have to say, Fenger is truly fortunate," Lan Ning stepped forward, patting Ye Nanxin's shoulder, "We were worried that with your low Realm and weak talent, you wouldn't be able to stay long by Fenger's side. Now, those worries have vanished into thin air. From now on, I trust her to you."
"How about this, why don't you consider enrolling in the Sea Spiral Holy Institute as well? Fenger is also a student there, and if you could get in, you could be by her side."
Lan Ning's sudden suggestion left Lin Qian and the others stunned: "The father-in-law can go too?"
"Anyone below a hundred years can join, and your father-in-law is only seventy years old, isn't he?"
"..." Lin Qian was speechless, and Ye Xin blinked, unable to utter a word.
For them, going to the academy to study with their father-in-law, their own father, felt somewhat strange.
