South Vietnamese Empire.
Meditation Water Pavilion.
This huge loft is built on the mountain, surrounded by green water, with beautiful environment and pleasant climate.
Not long ago, Nangong Shuo brought Lin Xuan to live here.
Before he left, he gave the palace to Nangong Yi, so now, Nangong Yi has become the new head of the entire South Vietnam Empire.
Except for some maids and servants who take care of their daily life, there are no guards or soldiers in the Jingxin Water Pavilion.
It's very safe here. Of course, Nangong Shuo and Lin Xuan won't worry that Nangong will have the idea of eradicating the roots, because he doesn't dare!
After seeing the amazing strength displayed by Hong Juan before, Nangong Yi finally understood the problem that Nangong Shuo once told him.
Mortals can never be truly free!
However, he didn't care about this, because Nangong Shuo had completely given up the supreme royal power of the South Vietnam Empire and handed over the entire empire to him.
The South Vietnam Empire may not be worth mentioning to practitioners like Hong Juan, but for Nangong, it is the world he dreams of.
Now, he finally got what he wanted, and Nangong also knew very clearly that as long as he could follow his heart, his throne would be stable forever.
After Nangong Shuo brought Lin Xuan to the Jingxin Water Pavilion, he became much more relaxed. During these years in the palace, although he enjoyed supreme treatment, he never truly relaxed for a day.
He has been working hard to be a good leader. However, when he found that he could not surpass his brother Nangong Zhen no matter what, he realized that he should probably give up this position.
Nangong Yi's appearance made him feel a little relieved, so he deliberately trained Nangong Yi secretly. In the end, he completed his plan in a "rebellion" carefully designed by himself.
However, in his entire plan, the only surprise was that his and Lin Xuan's two children were also involved.
Although their "third child" was also involved, the two of them had been plunged into endless worry and pain ever since Hong Juan suddenly showed that shocking scene in the palace that day.
However, it all passed after all, because at this moment, Hong Juan and Nangong Yun had returned to the South Vietnam Empire from the Western Regions.
They came to the gate of this quiet attic courtyard and looked up. They saw endless pink walls and black tiles, and well-proportioned pavilions and pavilions.
Lush flower trees protrude over the wall, revealing sparse flower branches, and the faint fragrance of flowers spreads, making people intoxicated.
Stepping into the courtyard, the garden in front of the attic is full of exotic flowers and plants in bud, and the flowers of various colors swaying in the wind in the sun are dazzling.
Hongwen has liked these brightly colored flowers since she was a child, so now she has become one with the colorful flowers in the garden.
But Nangong Yun just followed her with a smile. He knew that the senior sister was very happy now, because the senior sister was the most charming when she was happy.
Nangong Yun liked to see his senior sister smile very much, so he didn't want to ruin this intoxicating scene before he had seen enough of her incomparable beauty.
However, they were eventually discovered after entering without the owner's permission.
Just seeing the two of them enjoying themselves here without any scruples, none of the maids and servants dared to step forward to stop them.
Because they couldn't imagine how there could be such an intoxicating scene in the human world. The girl in red among the flowers was like a fairy descending to earth, which made people so imaginative that they even forgot to report to their master that a visitor was coming!
Nangong Shuo and Lin Xuan in the Jingxin Water Pavilion noticed something strange under the pavilion, and they immediately went downstairs to the garden in the courtyard.
When she saw the girl in red among the flowers, Lin Xuan's eyes instantly became moist. She slowly walked to Hong Juan, raised her trembling hands and gently stroked her daughter's cheek.
Nothing made her feel more happy than seeing that Hong Juan was fine. Feeling the warmth from her mother's palms, Hong Juan smiled and hugged Lin Xuan's arms...
After a while, Hong Huan and Lin Xuan's emotions gradually returned to calm. Nangong Yun slowly stepped forward and knelt gently in front of Lin Xuan.
"My child meets his mother!"
Then he turned to Nangong Shuo who was aside.
"My child meets his father!"
Lin Xuan wiped away the tears on her cheeks, stretched out her hand to lift Nangong Yun who was kneeling on the ground, and said happily.
"Thank God that I didn't lose you two!"
Seeing that both children were safe and sound, Nangong Shuo, who was standing aside, had his eyes a little red at the moment. He walked forward happily and said to Lin Xuan.
"The children are all fine, you can finally rest assured!"
Then he turned to Hong Juan and Nangong Yun and said with a smile.
"Since your accident, your mother has been crying all day long and can't sleep at night. I was really worried that she wouldn't survive. Now that we see that you are all fine, we are finally relieved."
Hearing Nangong Shuo's words, Hong Juan felt uncomfortable. She mistakenly thought that Xiaoyun was killed that day, and she was so dejected that she became like that. This must have made her mother and father extremely worried.
At this time, Nangong Yun said to Nangong Shuo and Lin Xuan very remorsefully.
"It's all my fault that I didn't visit you two again before leaving the South Vietnam Empire. Otherwise, senior sister wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to the Western Regions, and she even almost lost her life because of it!"
"But if I didn't come to the Western Region, I don't know what stupid things you would do. You won't be allowed to do this again. You won't be allowed to die at any time, you know!"
Hong Juan glanced at Nangong Yun with her beautiful eyes, and blamed her shyly.
This was of course because she knew that Nangong Yun had thought of seeking death when he and Lan Yue faced Wan Zhentian.
Faced with the sympathetic reproach from his senior sister, Nangong Yun nodded and replied with a smile.
"Follow Senior Sister's teachings!"
"Haha... let's all go upstairs first. I'll have someone prepare something to eat. You're all back safe and sound. We should be happy!"
Nangong Shuo was very satisfied when he saw the close relationship between the two children, and then took them back upstairs.
Not to mention how happy Lin Xuan was now. As soon as she went upstairs, she went to the kitchen to cook for them herself. Hong Juan also followed her mother to help.
Many maids and servants were all dumbfounded. They had never seen their master so happy before, so much so that even if they wanted to step forward and interfere with Lin Xuan, they wouldn't let him!
The mother and daughter were happily busy in the kitchen, while the "father and son" outside were also chatting happily.
"Father is really willing to hand over the entire South Vietnam Empire to Nangong Yi?"
Nangong Yun asked curiously.
"What? You don't believe that I have such courage and ambition?"
Nangong Shuo smiled and looked at Nangong Yun with interest.
However, Nangong Yun still said somewhat incredulously.
"If my father was a cultivator, he might not attach too much importance to the royal power of the South Vietnam Empire. However, you were born into an imperial family, but you can look down upon this coveted supreme throne. The child is still a little confused."
After Nangong Shuo heard this, he still said calmly.
"Actually, I haven't had much enthusiasm for royal power since I was a child. I originally just wanted to be a Jin King and live a stable life. But I never thought that after he ascended the throne, Brother Wang would ask the Lin clan to let you Mother enters the palace!"
Nangong Yun didn't know about these things, but when he heard Nangong Shuo talk about this, he naturally understood the general outline of the matter.
However, these things have passed, and it is good that they can live happily together now, let alone those unbearable past events.
Then, he smiled at Nangong Shuo and said.
"My father's mind and courage are beyond the reach of some practitioners!"
"Haha, really? Then do I have the talent to become a cultivator?"
Nangong Shuo also asked Nangong Yun with a smile.
Nangong Yun thought carefully for a moment, and then said seriously.
"If my father wants to enter Taoism and practice now, although it is a bit late, there is still hope, because the bloodline of the South Vietnamese royal family has some natural cultivation advantages."
"Oh? What is it?"
"I heard the master once say that it is a kind of Tianfeng bloodline, and I can also feel that my father's bloodline is indeed different from ordinary people!"
Nangong Yun answered Nangong Shuo's questions seriously. He did not notice that Nangong Shuo's expression was always very calm, and he always had a calm smile on his face.
Because he was simply curious about cultivation and did not really want to practice, so he continued to ask curiously.
"If you really practice it, besides being able to have power beyond mortals, is there anything special about it?"
Nangong Yun thought for a while and said.
“If there’s anything special about it, I think it’s its ability to extend people’s lifespan!”
"Oh, cultivation can extend a person's lifespan?"
"Yes, as long as an ordinary cultivator does not die accidentally, his life will be extended to hundreds of years due to cultivation. If he is a powerful person with advanced cultivation or martial arts, he may have a long life of thousands or tens of thousands of years. !”
Hearing this, Nangong Shuo's expression was touched. These things about the world of cultivation really surprised him.
Therefore, he couldn't help but sigh after Nangong Yun finished speaking.
"It turns out that spiritual practice is such a magical thing!"
However, before Nangong Yun could answer, he heard a scolding sound coming from outside the door.
"You are already quite old and you still want to practice Taoism and become an immortal. Don't you want to live a good life with me?"
After spotting Lin Xuan walking slowly from outside the door, Nangong Shuo immediately stood up and went to meet her, took the plate of food from her hand and said with a smile.
"I'm just asking, how dare I really leave you to cultivate immortality alone! Besides, I'm afraid I won't get any results with my qualifications, so I'll just stay in the Jingxin Water Pavilion and live with you. !”
Seeing the playful look on Nangong Shuo's face and the intimacy between his words, Lin Xuan suddenly blushed and said coquettishly.
"We are already an old married couple, and you still say these shameless words in front of your two children. You really don't look like the leader of the country at all!"
"I am indeed no longer the leader of the country, I am just an old man who lives with you!"
Nangong Shuo continued as if there was no one around.
However, Nangong Yun and Hong Guan on the side were so amused by their singing that they could hardly stand up straight.
"Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!"
Lin Xuan ignored Nangong Shuo and spoke directly to Nangong Yun and Hong Juan.
The four finally spent a wonderful time of family reunion amidst laughter and laughter...
