"Sanniang, what are you doing?" Gongsun Sheng was surprised to see Third Lady Gongsun suddenly standing in front of Nie Tian. "He's a member of the Nie clan. Why are you protecting him?"
"Father, it's all in the past. It's no longer important whether he's a member of the Nie clan or not," Third Lady Gongsun said calmly.
Gongsun Sheng was confused. He didn't understand why Third Lady Gongsun would suddenly act like this.
Guiwu Kuang Sha and Xuan Zangfeng were also shocked. They couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Little brother, are you alright?" Third Lady Gongsun turned to look at Nie Tian. Her expression was calm and even showed a hint of concern.
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me, Miss Gongsun." Nie Tian nodded slightly. His body had recovered, and his pale face was rosy.
If Third Lady Gongsun hadn't appeared in time, Nie Tian would have been in danger.
Nie Tian now knew the relationship between Third Lady Gongsun and Gongsun Shengji. He couldn't believe that a man like Gongsun Shengji could have given birth to such a beautiful daughter.
He also wondered why Third Lady Gongsun would save him.
Moreover, he felt that the way Third Lady Gongsun looked at him was very strange. It gave him an indescribable feeling, as if Nie Tian was a very important person to Third Lady Gongsun.
"What's your name?" Third Lady Gongsun looked at Nie Tian and suddenly asked using Sound Transmission.
"Nie Tian." Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, then replied using Sound Transmission.
Third Lady Gongsun's eyes trembled. She asked again using Sound Transmission, "Nie Fenghua is your father, right?"
Nie Tian's eyes narrowed. He hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
"You, you're really his son!" Third Lady Gongsun was stunned. She exclaimed in her heart. Her body trembled, and she took a few steps back, almost falling.
Gongsun Sheng stepped forward and supported Third Lady Gongsun. He asked nervously, "Third Lady, are you alright?"
Third Lady Gongsun was stunned for a long time. She shook her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Father, can you please not kill him?" Third Lady Gongsun glanced at Nie Tian and said to Gongsun Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he finally nodded.
"Nie Tian, you should leave. Don't ever come back to the Godly Martial City again." Third Lady Gongsun looked at Nie Tian with a strange expression.
"Nie Tian, let's go." Guiwu Kuang Sha immediately went to Nie Tian and got ready to leave.
Third Mother Gongsun had pleaded on Nie Tian's behalf, and Gongsun Sheng had agreed to let Nie Tian go.
Gongsun Shengji stared at Nie Tian, a complicated look in his eyes as he marveled at Nie Tian's incredible recovery ability.
Just now, he had almost killed Nie Tian. Nie Tian's flesh and bones had suffered a great deal of pressure, yet he had been able to recover in the blink of an eye. It was truly terrifying.
"No." Unexpectedly, Nie Tian didn't plan to leave. Instead, he looked at Gongsun Shengji with a burning gaze and said word by word, "Lord Divine Sword Master, you haven't agreed to the Evil Edge Sword Competition. I can't leave."
As Nie Tian said that, the atmosphere suddenly changed. It was oppressive and silent.
Xuan Zangfeng and Guiwu Kuang Sha looked at Nie Tian in shock. They did not expect that Nie Tian would still dare to say such words under such circumstances. This was simply challenging Gongsun Sheng's endurance limit.
They had to admit that Nie Tian was courageous. He wasn't afraid of death and wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal.
"Huh?" Gongsun Sheng's relaxed face darkened again. He thought he heard wrong. He looked at Nie Tian in disbelief and asked coldly, "What did you say?"
Nie Tian didn't avoid Gongsun Sheng's gaze. He said, "I can't leave. You haven't agreed to the Evil Edge Sword Duel."
"You're courting death!" Gongsun Sheng's pupils shrank. Killing intent was released from his body. He was like an enraged beast. He wanted to kill Nie Tian directly.
"Father!" Third Lady Gongsun's voice sounded again. She stopped Gongsun Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng's eyes widened. He didn't understand why Third Lady Gongsun wanted to save Nie Tian.
Third Lady Gongsun stopped Gongsun Sheng, then looked at Nie Tian and asked, "Nie Tian, what is the Evil Edge Sword Duel you mentioned?"
Nie Tian thought for a while and said, "I want to bring forward the Evil Edge Sword Duel."
Third Lady Gongsun's eyes trembled. She didn't expect Nie Tian to ask for this. No wonder Gongsun Sheng was so angry.
"Brat, you're from the Nie family. I'm already making a big concession by letting you go. Don't be so ungrateful!" Gongsun Sheng was enraged and roared, "You want to bring forward the Evil Peak Sword Competition with just one sentence? Impossible!"
"Father!" Before Gongsun Sheng could finish speaking, Third Lady Gongsun's voice suddenly sounded. Then, she turned around and knelt in front of Gongsun Sheng.
"Third Lady, what are you doing?" Gongsun Sheng was stunned by Third Lady Gongsun's sudden action. He exclaimed in surprise and went forward to pull her up.
"Father, I have a request. If you don't agree, I won't get up." Third Lady Gongsun raised her head and looked at Gongsun Sheng. She was unwilling to get up.
"Third Lady, I'll agree to your request. Hurry up and get up." Gongsun Sheng was surprised. He didn't know what Third Lady Gongsun wanted to do.
Third Lady Gongsun's beautiful eyes flickered. She said in a deep voice, "Father, I want you to agree to Nie Tian's request."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it caused the entire hall to fall into a deathly silence.
No one expected Third Lady Gongsun to kneel for Nie Tian!
Nie Tian's expression also changed. He was extremely shocked.
"Third Lady, do you know what you're doing?" Gongsun Sheng was stunned for a few seconds. When he came back to his senses, he roared furiously.
"Father, I know I'm putting you in a difficult position, but I only have one request. Please agree to it." Third Lady Gongsun raised her head and looked at Gongsun Sheng with determination.
"Third Lady!" Gongsun Sheng's expression was complicated. His face seemed to have aged a lot. He said sorrowfully, "Why are you doing this? Haven't the Nie Clan done enough harm to us? Nie Fenghua's escape from the marriage made you the laughingstock of the Nine Realms. Our Gongsun Clan couldn't hold our heads up high. Have you forgotten all that?
"If I bring forward the Evil Peak Sword Competition, how will the people of the Nine Realms view us? Where will the dignity of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda go? Have you thought about all that? "
Gongsun Sheng's heart was pained, and he was like an irascible beast.
"Father, I know all that you're saying," Third Lady Gongsun said with determination. "But please let me be stubborn this time. Promise me."
"Why? Why? "Gongsun Sheng looked at Third Lady Gongsun with a pained expression and roared almost crazily.
Third Lady Gongsun didn't say anything. She said inwardly, "Because I owe Nie Fenghua. I must pay him back."
Third Lady Gongsun didn't speak, and Gongsun Sheng didn't nod. The situation immediately fell into an impasse.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, Gongsun Sheng suddenly asked, "Xuan Zangfeng, what do you think about this?" He looked at Xuan Zangfeng.
