Chapter 10: Visitors from the Nangong Family

Murong Qingyan did not stay in the space for too long. Although she was very interested in the "Medical Canon," especially the recipes for refining pills, she had no way to start refining them yet. For one, she had not yet learned how to refine pills, and for another, she lacked a suitable pill furnace and a source of fire.

Returning to her small room, a sharp glint flashed in Murong Qingyan’s eyes. Although she could cultivate now, she knew she was still very weak. And—

Murong Qingyan touched her thin, frail shoulders. She had to admit that besides being unable to cultivate, this body was also not very agile. It seemed she would have to find a way to train this body first. While the use of profound energy was important, physical strength could not be underestimated either.

"Murong Qingyan, Murong Qingyan—"

Just as Murong Qingyan was planning to devise a training regimen, a series of shouts came from outside. The voice sounded exceptionally shrill, and the tone carried a hint of contempt.

The person who came to deliver the message truly looked down on Murong Qingyan. No, perhaps it should be said that within the Murong family, there was no one who looked up to Murong Qingyan. A piece of trash who could not cultivate could not bring any glory to the family, and instead brought endless shame.

Murong Qingyan pushed the door open and walked out. Frowning, she asked, "Is something the matter?"

"The young master of the Nangong family is here." The person delivering the message, the Murong family’s steward, Lin Guangxiong, had a face full of contempt when he saw Murong Qingyan. "The Patriarch said for you to go to the main hall immediately."

Faced with Lin Guangxiong’s attitude, Murong Qingyan did not get angry. She would not waste her emotions on unimportant people or matters. Therefore, after hearing these words, she walked straight past Lin Guangxiong and left the courtyard.

Watching as Murong Qingyan left without even glancing at him, Lin Guangxiong’s expression turned sour. As the steward of the Murong family, although he was a servant in name, many young masters and misses treated him with courtesy. Now, this piece of trash, Murong Qingyan, actually dared to ignore his existence.

"Does she really think she’s some kind of young lady?" Lin Guangxiong looked at Murong Qingyan’s retreating back and cursed disdainfully, "Hmph, daring to give me attitude? You’ll have your share of embarrassment later."

Although it was not yet clear why the young master of the Nangong family had come, it certainly wouldn't be for anything good.

One had to know that this young master of the Nangong family—Nangong Ye, who was also Murong Qingyan’s fiancé—was a renowned figure among the four great families. Unlike Murong Qingyan’s reputation as trash, Nangong Ye was a famous genius. He had awakened his profound energy at the age of three and reached the Qi Refining stage by the age of five. By the age of twelve, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, at eighteen, he had already reached the middle stage of the Light Opening stage.

Such achievements made him a leader among his peers.

Furthermore, this Young Master Nangong not only came from a noble background but also possessed a handsome and elegant appearance.

For a long time, Murong Qingyan had been a disgrace to Young Master Nangong. A cultivation genius, yet saddled with a trash fiancée. There was no need to think twice; the Nangong family’s visit today definitely wouldn't be for anything good. They might even be here to call off the engagement!

Thinking of this, Lin Guangxiong felt much more satisfied.
