Nangong Duwo glanced at Nie Tian. He didn't say anything, but there was a strange look in his eyes, as if he understood something.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to Nie Tian. Instead, he looked at Nie Dao and said, "Patriarch Nie, the marriage can't be delayed any longer. We must abide by the agreement set by our ancestors."
"Patriarch Nangong, you don't need to remind me. I know what to do," Nie Dao replied coldly.
"It's good that you know." Nangong Duwo sneered. After that, he didn't stay any longer and left.
Nangong Lin looked at Nie Tian and smiled. "Nie Tian, we'll meet again."
Nie Tian smiled, but didn't say anything.
The Nangong father and son left the Wind and Cloud Grand Hall and disappeared into the sky.
Nie Dao frowned as he looked in the direction where the two of them had disappeared. His expression was ugly.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Nie Tian asked, frowning when he sensed Nie Dao's disappointment.
"I'm fine. Let's talk inside." Nie Dao forced a smile and walked into the Wind and Cloud Grand Hall.
The three of them entered the hall and took their seats.
"Nie Tian, who is this young lady?" Nie Dao's gaze swept over Jun Aoqing, and he could not help but laugh as he asked.
"She's my friend, Jun Aoqing." Nie Tian smiled, but didn't introduce her in detail.
Nie Dao smiled faintly as he scanned Jun Aoqing with his Divine Sense. His aged face stiffened.
After a dozen seconds, Nie Dao finally reacted. His expression softened and he said in a trembling voice, "She, she's a late-stage Paramount God."
Nie Tian nodded with a calm expression. "Yeah."
It was normal for Nie Dao to be shocked by Jun Aoqing's strength.
After all, according to the martial dao of the Nine Realms, Jun Aoqing shouldn't exist.
Even Nie Tian was a freakishly talented genius.
Nie Dao was already shocked by Nie Tian's increase in strength.
Now that he knew Jun Aoqing's strength, he was even more shocked.
He didn't expect that there was someone more monstrous than Nie Tian in this world.
After a while, Nie Dao calmed down and let out a long sigh. "Nie Tian, you've suffered a lot these past few years."
He knew that the reason why Nie Tian's strength could rise so quickly was not only because of his extraordinary talent, but also because of his extraordinary willpower. He dared to do what others did not dare to do.
Most of the martial artists in this world relied on cultivation to increase their strength.
However, there was an extremely small number of people who relied on continuous training to improve their strength.
Nie Tian was one of these people, and he was the one who had the most successful in his training.
To be able to get to where he was today, the life and death struggles that Nie Tian had experienced were not something that ordinary people could imagine.
"I'm fine." Nie Tian faintly smiled. Then, he thought of something and asked, "Grandpa, why did the Nangong father and son come to see you? I heard Family Head Nangong mention marriage, what do you mean? "
"Sigh!" Hearing Nie Tian's question, Nie Dao let out a long sigh and said with a serious expression, "Nie Tian, there are some things that I can't tell you."
"I can only tell you that Nangong Dudu and I came here for Nangong Lin's marriage."
Nie Tian's gaze focused and he frowned, "Could it be that the Nangong family wants to unite with the Nie family through marriage?"
He knew that the Nangong family should be biased towards the Holy Parliament. After all, Nangong Duxiu was the Vice President of the Holy Parliament.
On the other hand, the Wind and Cloud Alliance and the Holy Parliament were on opposing sides.
Therefore, it was very strange for the Nangong family to unite with the Nie family through marriage.
"Yes." Nie Dao nodded and said, "Nangong Lin is engaged to a girl from the Nie family. The Nangong father and son came today for this."
"Grandpa, is this a difficult matter?" Nie Tian saw Nie Dao's frown and continued to ask.
Nie Dao sighed again and said, "The girl who was engaged to Nangong Lin ran away and disappeared half a month ago. I sent many people to find her, but they couldn't find her."
"Ran away from the marriage?" Nie Tian's gaze focused and he suddenly thought of something. His eyes trembled and he asked, "Grandpa, is the girl who ran away from the marriage called Nie Qingwan?"
"How did you know?" Nie Dao's eyes trembled and he shouted in surprise. He looked at Nie Tian in disbelief.
The girl who ran away from the marriage was called Nie Qingwan!
But the strange thing was, how did Nie Tian know about Nie Qingwan?
Nie Tian looked at Nie Dao and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He said, "Grandpa, a few days ago, I met Nie Qingwan in the Demon Sealing City."
"Ah?" Nie Dao was stunned and immediately stood up in excitement. He said, "Then where is she now?"
"Stay by my side," Nie Tian said and took out the Nine Extremities. With a thought, he released Nie Qingwan.
"Nie Tian, you bastard!" Nie Qingwan cursed as soon as she came out. But when she steadied herself, she suddenly saw a familiar old face. Her whole body froze.
"Little Wan!" Nie Dao looked at Nie Qingwan. His old face darkened and tears seemed to flow out of his eyes.
"G-grandpa." Nie Qingwan looked at Nie Dao in a daze. It took a long time for her to react. Her little face instantly turned pale and she looked very embarrassed.
Nie Tian looked at Nie Qingwan and confirmed the latter's identity.
It seemed that Nie Qingwan was indeed Nie Tian's sister. Moreover, she was his cousin.
In the next moment, Nie Qingwan immediately reacted. Her figure moved and she turned around to run.
"Nie Qingwan, stop right there!" Nie Dao suddenly roared. His voice was like thunder and resounded throughout the hall.
Nie Qingwan's figure froze. Her legs seemed to be filled with lead sand and she could no longer take a step.
"Grandpa!" She immediately turned around. Her eyes were already full of tears. She bit her lips and said, "I will not marry Nangong Lin!"
Every word was very resolute.
Nie Dao's old face darkened. He froze on the spot and could not speak.
Seeing this, Nie Tian could not help but frown. He looked at Nie Dao and said, "Grandpa, since Qingwan is not willing to marry, why do you have to force her?"
"Even if Nangong Lin and Qingwan are engaged, we can just break the engagement."
"With the Wind and Cloud Alliance's strength, do you think the Nangong family would dare to attack us?"
The Wind and Cloud Alliance's strength far surpassed the Nangong family. Even if they broke the engagement, it should not be a problem.
However, Nie Dao looked very solemn. This made Nie Tian very confused.
"Nie Tian, things are not as simple as you think." Nie Dao let out a long sigh. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
Nie Tian had a puzzled expression and said, "Grandpa, what are you worried about?"
Nie Dao was stunned. He thought for a long time before saying, "The engagement between Nangong Lin and Qingwan was decided by the ancestors of the Nie family. Even if I am the Nie family's patriarch, I cannot change it."
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's gaze froze. He could not help but be stunned.
The ancestors of the Nie family should be people from hundreds of thousands of years ago or even earlier. However, Nie Qingwan was only in her twenties.
How could the ancestors of the Nie family decide Nie Qingwan's marriage?
Nie Dao's words made Nie Tian even more confused.
"Grandpa, what is going on?" Nie Tian could not help but ask out of curiosity.
