According to Third Lady Gongsun, Nie Fenghua was simply a good man. In that kind of situation, he actually dared to say such things. In the end, he even ran away from the marriage and took all the blame, all for the sake of her happiness.
For Nie Fenghua to be able to do this, it was really amazing!
Nie Tian asked himself if he could do this.
After all these years, Third Lady Gongsun must have felt very guilty. Hence, after she met Nie Tian and learned of Nie Tian's identity, she tried her best to help Nie Tian. She hoped that she could repay what she owed Nie Fenghua with Nie Tian.
Third Lady Gongsun nodded and said to Nie Tian, "I know that I let your father down. No matter how you look at me, I won't be angry."
"Aunt, this is between you and my father. I won't say anything. Since my father chose to do that, he must have his reasons. I don't have the right to say anything." Nie Tian smiled faintly. He didn't blame Third Lady Gongsun. After all, it was something that happened a long time ago. He had no right to comment.
In fact, Nie Tian was a little embarrassed because he had never seen his father before in his life.
He really didn't know what kind of person would run away from a marriage.
After a while, Nie Tian completely calmed down. After thinking for a while, he finally asked, "Aunt, so many years have passed. Why don't you tell us the truth? Do you want to see the Gongsun and Nie families always be enemies? "
Since there was a hidden story, Nie Tian was very curious. Why didn't Third Lady Gongsun tell the truth? That way, at least the Nie and Gongsun families could have a chance to reconcile.
What made Nie Tian even more curious was that Third Lady Gongsun said that she met other men, but he didn't see any men by her side. Moreover, if Third Lady Gongsun's heart belonged to someone else, shouldn't she be with that person? Yet she was still in Shenwu City. This was a little strange.
"I can't say." Hearing Nie Tian's words, Third Lady Gongsun couldn't help but become nervous. She looked at Nie Tian and said: "Nie Tian, can you promise me that you won't tell anyone about this?"
Nie Tian frowned. His expression became strange as he asked, "Why?"
Looking at Third Lady Gongsun's current reaction, she was actually very flustered, as if she was worried about something.
After so many years, Third Lady Gongsun obviously didn't care about her reputation. She had been hiding the truth for so long, so there must be another reason.
"I can't tell you. Please promise me that you won't tell anyone else about this, okay?" Third Lady Gongsun was flustered and on the verge of tears.
Nie Tian couldn't help but feel even more baffled, but he still nodded and said, "I promise you, I won't reveal this matter."
"Yes, yes, thank you." Third Lady Gongsun nodded her head repeatedly, and her nervous expression eased a lot.
Nie Tian thought that it was even more strange. He really couldn't understand why Third Lady Gongsun would be so secretive about this matter.
"Could it be because of the man she met?" Nie Tian frowned and guessed.
He guessed that there was something wrong with the man who was with Third Lady Gongsun back then. Perhaps his identity wasn't ordinary, so she couldn't say it.
However, he was very puzzled. Just who was this man that Third Lady Gongsun didn't dare to mention?
"Auntie, you just said that you met a man. How is he now?" Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he looked at Third Lady Gongsun and probed.
"Nie Tian, I know you're very puzzled, but I really can't tell you. Please don't ask anymore." Third Lady Gongsun was very sensitive. Her delicate facial features were twisted together with an awkward expression.
"If Auntie says so, then I won't ask anymore." Nie Tian had no choice but to let out a faint smile.
He was now basically certain that the reason why Third Lady Gongsun was so secretive about what happened back then was because of the man she met.
Back then, Nie Fenghua ran away from the marriage in order to let Third Lady Gongsun be happy. However, in the end, she didn't get to be with that man.
Nie Tian was very curious. Just what kind of man could actually snatch Third Lady Gongsun from Nie Fenghua's hands?
After a moment of silence, Third Lady Gongsun suddenly asked, "Nie Tian, why did you bring forward the Evil Edge Sword Competition?"
"To save someone." Nie Tian nodded lightly.
"Save someone? Save who? " Third Lady Gongsun was stunned. She didn't know who was so important to Nie Tian that he was willing to risk his life for them.
Moreover, she also didn't understand what the Evil Edge Sword Competition had to do with Nie Tian saving someone.
Nie Tian didn't hide anything and told her about the Elder Sword.
Third Lady Gongsun was stunned and only reacted after a long while. She said, "Nie Tian, if you had known me earlier, perhaps I could have begged Father to get Lord Jiang Lai to hand over the Ink Jade Dragon Sword that imprisons Lord Jian Qingchi's soul."
"Auntie, it's not that simple." Nie Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. "How could Sword Master Gongsun offend Jiang Lai for me when he doesn't know me at all? He's the leader of the Xingtian Alliance."
"I'll beg Father. He'll definitely agree," Third Lady Gongsun insisted.
However, Nie Tian shook his head again and said, "Although Sword Master Gongsun is Auntie's father, he represents the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda. If he asks Jiang Lai to hand over the Ink Jade Dragon Sword without any reason, how can he not be suspicious?"
"Sword Master Gongsun has to consider the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda in everything he does, so he won't easily clash with Jiang Lai."
Third Lady Gongsun looked at Nie Tian in shock. She didn't expect him to be so thorough at such a young age.
Third Lady Gongsun thought for a moment and continued asking, "Nie Tian, even if you become the sword champion of the Evil Edge Sword Duel, will Father offend Jiang Lai for you?"
"Perhaps," Nie Tian said with a faint smile. "The Evil Edge Sword Duel is a way for me to prove myself. I believe that as long as I'm strong enough and Sword Master Gongsun sees enough potential in me, he'll negotiate with Jiang Lai for me. "
"You've already proven yourself." Third Lady Gongsun was stunned as she looked at Nie Tian in shock.
Back at the Shura Sword Duel, Gongsun Sheng had seen Nie Tian's insane strength and had been shocked multiple times.
"That's not enough," Nie Tian said with a faint smile, "I'll show even more of myself at the Evil Edge Sword Duel. Also, I'll join the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda after that. I'll bring up my request to Sword Master Gongsun, and I believe he'll agree. "
Third Lady Gongsun looked at Nie Tian in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
To her, Nie Tian was already insane at the Shura Sword Duel, but he was going to be even more powerful at the Evil Edge Sword Duel.
Didn't that mean that Nie Tian didn't go all out at the Shura Sword Duel and was conserving his strength?
