Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 13 Snow Emperor's Mark

The outskirts of Lingdou City.

The mountains are shrouded in mist and clouds, giving them an ethereal feel.

The cloud is deep and unknown.

A magnificent hall stands tall.

Several small black beasts, resembling tortoises and snakes, sit upright on the eaves of the palace. Although they are not large, they are full of power and are the mythical beast Xuanwu.

This place is the Xuanming Sect, a hidden sect with a history of ten thousand years in the Douling Empire.

Inside the main hall.

The atmosphere, however, was very somber.

A handsome middle-aged man dressed in black, exuding an air of elegance, sat at the head of the table, his eyes burning with anger.

Below them knelt a pale-faced man dressed in black.

"Tell me! What exactly happened?"

"Why is San Shi so badly injured after just a trip to Lingdou City?!"

"As his guard, didn't you fulfill even the slightest duty of protecting him?"

"metropolitan!"

"Your subordinate is guilty! Please punish me, Master!"

"I'm asking you to tell me exactly what happened!!!"

The man in black recounted the past events surrounding Xu Sanshi's injury in Lingdou City, like spilling beans.

Meanwhile, the Xuanming Sect Master at the head of the table grew increasingly gloomy.

"How is that possible?"

"An ice-attribute martial soul indicates an unknown powerhouse at least at the Super Douluo level?"

"When has my Xuanming Sect ever offended such a powerful figure?"

"Having reached this level, you still don't know about the connection between my Xuanming Sect and the Douling Empire?"

"And another thing! A mere third ring of energy that can break through the Three Stones Defense head-on?!"

"And he possesses three thousand-year-old spirit rings?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Sect Master, everything I said is true."

"Unless you are a Super Douluo, there is absolutely no way you could freeze me without even giving me a chance to make a move."

"snort!"

"I will send someone to investigate this matter!"

"As for you!"

"It's normal to be unable to resist such a powerful opponent."

"But since you're working for San Shi, you should advise him to be careful!"

"This is your dereliction of duty!"

"However, considering your years of hard work, and the difficulty the sect went through to train you to become a Soul Douluo, you will be allowed to serve on Quanya Island for ten years!"

"Thank you, Sect Master."

The man in black immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Although Quanya Island, the easternmost part of the Douling Empire, is a notoriously desolate place, powerful sea spirit beasts roam everywhere.

But just surviving is already quite an achievement.

The man in black kowtowed and then left the hall.

Then a middle-aged woman rushed into the hall.

"Xu Xuanya!!!"

"What's wrong with my son?"

"What's wrong with you?!"

"I've only been at the palace for a month, how did I end up like this!"

"Who hurt my son?! I will make them tear me to pieces!"

"Alright! Stop howling!"

A hint of annoyance flashed in the eyes of Xu Xuanya, the current sect leader of the Xuanming Sect.

The person who came was Xu Sanshi's mother, Princess of the Douling Empire, and the aunt of the current emperor of the Douling Empire, Xue Lingxun.

"San Shi is seriously injured."

"Comminuted fractures of the ribs, hand bones, and scapula; severed meridians throughout the body."

"Huh? That heavy? How come you can still sit here so comfortably?"

"Aren't you going to save your son? Don't you care about the child that wasn't born of you?"

"Xu Xuanya! You bastard!"

"I told you to stop howling!"

"I have already sent people to seek out rare and precious materials for bone regeneration, marrow repair, and meridian restoration!"

"The important thing now is! Your precious son has somehow offended someone who is at least at the Super Douluo level!"

"Super Super Douluo?"

Xue Lingxun's eyes narrowed sharply.

His previously manic expression froze for a moment, but then returned to normal.

"I don't care about any Super Douluo!"

"He hurt my son! I will make him pay!"

"Xu Xuanya, you're scared? Then I'll go to Lingdou City! My nephew will stand up for me! He'll stand up for his cousin!"

"I'll leave San Shi with you for now!"

"If anything happens to him, I'll hold you responsible!!!"

The woman turned and walked away.

Xu Xuanya was not given a single chance to speak.

Not long after she left.

An angry roar came from inside the hall.

Border of the Douling Empire.

On a field near the Starry Sky Forest.

A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white sat on the grass with a handsome young man with black hair and purple eyes.

Naturally, it was Xue Di and Ye Xuanxin.

"It's rare to see Xuanxin act so impulsively."

Xue Di laughed.

"Is Sister Xue thinking I'm too reckless?"

"Of course not. What is the Xuanming Sect? Even if you kill someone, I can cover for you."

She said it with a touch of domineering.

"It was just a momentary feeling."

A gentle light flashed in Ye Xuanxin's eyes.

Being with a woman like Xue Di gives me a real sense of security.

This woman may appear cold and ruthless, and she is indeed cold and ruthless, but once you enter her heart, she will do everything in her power to protect you.

I have to say, it feels really good to be a kept man.

"I did act a bit impulsively this time."

"I'm really unhappy with that young master of the Xuanming Sect, and I'm holding a grudge."

"Oh? Why is that? You're clearly meeting him for the first time."

Ye Xuanxin shook her head.

He certainly couldn't say that it was because he had read the original story in his previous life and was unhappy with Xu Sanshi.

At least for now, we can't be honest with Xue Di.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Xue Di did not ask any further questions.

Without realizing it, she reached out and pinched his cheek.

He sighed with some emotion.

"When I first saw you in the snow, you were just a tiny little thing."

"But in the blink of an eye, he's grown up so much."

"Soon I'll be able to leave me, my older sister, and stand on my own."

"You humans really know how fast time flies."

"Sister Xue, don't worry about whether time flies or not."

"Although the human lifespan is at most three to five hundred years, many people live wonderful lives."

"I also want to live a wonderful life, and I also want to live a wonderful life with Sister Xue."

"I want to experience the most beautiful scenery in the world with Sister Xue."

Ye Xuanxin looked at Xue Di's cool and delicate face with a burning gaze.

Xue Di deliberately ignored him, her cheeks slightly flushed, and turned her head away, saying with a hint of reproach.

"Why did we get onto this topic?"

"I've raised you for so many years, don't think I don't know your little schemes."

Ye Xuanxin opened her mouth as if to say something.

The Ice Emperor, dressed in a green robe, descended from the sky with Jiang Nannan.

"Sister Xue, the little girl's mother has been settled."

"I left her a sum of money, enough for her to live on for a long time!"

"Huh? Ye Xuanxin, what are you doing?"

She immediately glared at Ye Xuanxin. This kid was way too close to the Snow Empress; they were practically glued to each other!

Ye Xuanxin gave her a disdainful look, feeling that the other party had come at a very inopportune time.

"Young master, and two seniors, thank you for taking care of my mother. I am deeply grateful."

At this moment, Jiang Nannan also spoke with gratitude on her face.

"It's alright. If I leave Auntie in Lingdou City, the things I did before might implicate her."

"I must take responsibility for the disaster I have caused."

"Regardless, I must thank you, young master and the two seniors."

Jiang Nannan's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of fear.

She is not a fool.

Right now, she has witnessed Ye Xuanxin's extraordinary talent, and she can also sense the abilities of these two seemingly young but actually incredibly powerful seniors.

She doesn't even dare to think about the true identities of these people now.

It's probably not even human.

"Don't be afraid, you've probably already guessed who we are, right?"

Xue Di looked at Jiang Nannan with a calm gaze.

"Hmm, Senior Xue, I can roughly guess a little bit."

Actually, you're slightly wrong.

"Xuanxin is a genuine human being."

Jiang Nannan's eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

No, that terrifying strength, is it really something a human could achieve? Is it really not a transformed soul beast?

"Miss Jiang, I am indeed human, not some kind of transformed soul beast."

You really don't need to be afraid.

"We didn't mean any harm. We were just passing by Lingdou City on our way to school."
