Dashing Student-Chapter 1193: Wavering and Hesitant

After resolving the matter of the Blood Pool, Chen Nan parted ways with Zhang Yunyi and Chong Xiao, returning to Xuanmo State. He reported the Wang Family’s secret of crafting Blood Life Pills to Yama Hall.

Yama Hall has always been neutral in the Nine Provinces, belonging to neither side and never participating in any conflicts. Thus, even with the Wang Family crafting Blood Life Pills, Yama Hall remains indifferent.

At most, they would send people to plunder opportunistically, as the Wang Family is such a colossal force that even a small portion is enough to be substantial.

In Lin Rou’s little courtyard, Chen Nan and Lin Rou sat opposite each other, with a table of clear tea between them.

"This time the Wang Family is finished. Crafting forbidden items like Blood Life Pills, there’s no place for them in the Nine Provinces. Are you comfortable with that?" Lin Rou asked with a smile.

He knew, of course, Chen Nan’s deep-seated hatred toward the Wang Family, which was unending and relentless.

"Of course, since they’ve offended me, I will show no mercy. This outcome is entirely of their own making." Chen Nan replied slowly.

"Help me send a message out, saying the Wang Family crafted many Blood Life Pills but haven’t had the chance to consume them yet."

Lin Rou paused upon hearing this: "Are you trying to completely annihilate the Wang Family?"

Blood Life Pills are not only useful for the Wang Family’s ancestors but also for those nearing the end of their lifespan in other top forces. One pill can prolong life by ten years, granting a decade more for family growth.

Just because others don’t craft Blood Life Pills doesn’t mean they don’t want them. Once Chen Nan spreads this message, it surely will incite top forces to unite and besiege the Wang Family.

"Don’t worry, I’ll spread this message at the right time," Lin Rou hurriedly left, as disseminating a message via her channels was simple, especially considering this news is wanted by everyone except the Wang Family.

In the following period, Chen Nan remained in the Forget Sorrow Secret Realm, listening to the news Lin Rou brought from outside.

Although currently, the Wang Family is being condemned by everyone, engaging in war with a top force requires immense cost, and thus no one wants to initiate it, only condemns verbally.

The Wang Family also became unusually discreet, causing outsiders to have no idea what they were doing.

At such a time, a secret message spread like the wind: the Wang Family still possesses many Blood Life Pills.

This incited many top forces similar to the Wang Family to make plans, as Blood Life Pills are undoubtedly essential to them.

Thus, the Righteous Sects finally resolved to jointly oppose the Wang Family.

"Ah, this group of people hem and haw. By now, the Wang Family might have already fled; what can they find?" Chen Nan was quite disappointed.

If the Righteous Sects had instantly united to raid the Wang Family upon first knowing of their Blood Life Pills, the rewards gained would be tremendous.

But now, over half a month has passed without a word from the Wang Family, suggesting they might be on the run, thus the joint efforts of other sects yield little advantage.

Chen Nan sighed deeply, a chance to annihilate the Wang Family squandered just like that.

"I also want to go and see. The Wang Family had sent people to hunt me. Now let them taste being hunted."

After bidding farewell to Lin Rou and Lin Jian, Chen Nan first visited Green Water City, yet Yun Gu still hadn’t returned, stirring his concern.

He then quickly arrived at a small information collection outpost of Yama Hall, investigating Yun Gu’s origins.

"Jizhou, the Yun family? Returning home for a marriage?"

Upon seeing Yama Hall’s investigation results, Chen Nan was startled by the findings.

It turned out Yun Gu hailed from the Yun family in Jizhou, merely a third-rate family, whose lineage involved the secret technique of manipulating papermen. And this time, Yun Gu had claimed family matters, in fact, to attend a marriage alliance!

"Alright, I was worried for nothing, turns out you’re going back to get married; what am I then?"

Chen Nan clenched his fists, recalling the days with Yun Gu, feeling a subtle heartache, realizing he held so little significance in her heart.

He turned and walked out of the outpost, wanting to completely forget Yun Gu, yet considered the two children entrusted to Yun Gu.

"Since she’s getting married, surely she won’t treat those two children well. I should take them back, yes, that’s it!" Chen Nan consoled himself.

But actually, he wanted to face Yun Gu directly to clarify matters; if there’s no love, they should just part immediately, why deceive?

Anyway, there’s still time, Chen Nan doesn’t mind making a trip to Jizhou first.

...

Phecda City, a small city in Jizhou, situated in a remote area, has not produced any notable figures except for the Yun family, merely a third-rate family.

The strongest cultivator in the family is only at the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer, with only a handful of Golden Core Cultivators.

Recently, however, the Yun family welcomed great news: the second-tier Gu family of Jizhou prepared to marry their eldest daughter, accompanied by a generous betrothal gift.

Townsfolk commented it’s the Yun family’s fortune, as linking with the Gu family might just elevate the family further, a truly wonderful affair.

Others said the eldest daughter of the Yun family and the young master of the Gu family were a perfect match, practically made for each other, the wedding is set for tomorrow, and the streets are now lined with red silk.

When Chen Nan arrived in Phecda City, all he heard were such statements, making him want to rush to Yun Gu for clarity; yet he restrained himself.

That night, in the room of the bride-to-be in the Yun family, Yun Gu sat before a bronze mirror, lacking any bride’s joy, instead looking full of melancholy.

Two little ones sneaked in when the servants weren’t paying attention, each hugging Yun Gu’s leg.

"Mom, don’t you want dad anymore?" Zhang An asked naively.

Zhang Ning, with two bun-like hairstyles, was almost in tears: "Mom, why don’t you want dad?"

Seeing the two little kids, Yun Gu’s eyes welled up with tears too, she held them closely: "It’s not that I don’t want your dad; it’s just something I must do."

"No way, we just want dad."

The two kids began to cause a scene, leaving Yun Gu quite helpless.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the copper mirror on the table; it was Chen Nan who had sneaked into the Yun family, hearing everything Yun Gu and the kids had said.

"Yun Gu, you really..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yun Gu abruptly turned, tears flowing instantly, and she dashed into Chen Nan’s arms, as if burdened with endless grievances.

All the words Chen Nan prepared got stuck in his throat, for he knew full well Yun Gu must have a compelling difficulty to act as she did.

"What exactly happened? Is someone threatening you? Tell me who it is, and I will definitely kill them!"
