After all, Nangong Wenjian is a man and has never been married.
Mu Qingyan and Nangong Ruoxue are both girls, so there is inevitably some gossip.
For the sake of Nangong Wenjian’s reputation, and for Xiao Ruoxue’s healthy growth.
Mu Qingyan, who was eighteen years old at the time, lied to others that she was twenty-five years old and married Nangong Wenjian.
It was announced to the public that Nangong Ruoxue was their daughter.
On the surface, the two were husband and wife, but behind the scenes, Nangong Wenjian treated Mu Qingyan like a girl and a sister.
Mu Qingyan had implicitly mentioned it to Nangong Wenjian many times.
She is willing to be his woman and give birth to a boy and a half girl so that he can have a wife.
However, this idea was sternly rejected by Nangong Wenjian!
He told Mu Qingyan that although the two of them were now called husband and wife, it was for Xiao Ruoxue's growth.
In order to avoid those rumors and to protect Mu Qingyan.
He has always regarded her as his apprentice, niece, and even daughter.
I will never and will never do anything to disgrace my sworn brother Mo Jun and their family.
In fact, Nangong Wenjian agreed to establish the Qinglian Sword Sect not only because of Lu Changfeng, but also to pave the way for Mu Qingyan.
He originally had the character of a wandering cloud and wild crane, and was very bad at managing a sect.
He knew that he was much older than Mu Qingyan, and his many years of bloody wandering in the world had left him in poor health.
If they really die one day, such a sect can also provide shelter for Mu Qingyan and Nangong Ruoxue.
After listening to Mu Qingyan's narration, Nan Yanxi was stunned for a long time.
How many stupid things did my dad do back then? No wonder he's like this now.
I think I deserve it...
Then he asked again: "Sister Mu... I still have something unclear."
"Since this sect was left to you and Ruoxue by Master, his old man, then why do you trust me so much?"
"I have only been on the mountain for such a short period of time, and I am still leading the art profession. Why did I become an inner disciple so easily?"
"Moreover, you trust and support me so much that you even put the entire sect in my hands?"
After listening to his post, Mu Qingyan smiled and explained: "Actually, in the beginning, your master just cherished his talents."
"In addition, since you saved Xue'er, I thought of asking you to go up the mountain and just give me an outside deacon."
"It wasn't until you said your surname was Nan and your name was Yan Xi that your master became suspicious."
"When you were living overseas, we were actually paying attention to you all the time."
"You know, the surname Nan is originally a minor surname, and it is also called Yanxi. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
"So I thought of letting you into the inner gate and keeping you by my side to observe you carefully."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ever since I was a child, I have never understood why my father's surname was Lin and my own surname was Nan.
Maybe back then, my adoptive parents didn't consider how promising I would be.
Hiding in this mountain village, even if you call yourself emperor, you won't attract anyone's attention.
Following Mu Qingyan's explanation, Nan Yanxi gradually understood the whole story.
Nangong Wenjian and Mu Qingyan had actually always wanted to test Nan Yanxi's true identity.
Mu Qingyan simply wanted to find out, because although he was living overseas, he was the son of his enemy after all.
Therefore, he has very complicated feelings towards Nan Yanxi.
It wasn't until he saved himself, who was almost defiled by a thief, and saved the entire Qinglian Sword Sect that Mu Qingyan had the slightest affection for him.
But Nangong Wenjian was different. He wanted to find out Nan Yanxi's identity simply for the sake of Mu Qingyan and Nangong Ruoxue.
After all, he is old, and his second-year apprentices are all Lu Changfeng's.
Although he and Lu Changfeng were sworn brothers, they were still outsiders after all.
The eldest apprentice and the second apprentice were focused on their official career and were not interested in the world.
Then what will the two women do in the future a hundred years from now?
How many people covet such a large mountain gate? After all, they are both female prostitutes. How can they ensure their own safety?
It wasn't until he saved the entire Qinglian Sword Sect and openly rebelled against Nanhai that Nangong Wenjian felt relieved about him.
After all, the old emperor is already crazy and probably won't live for a few more years.
His own Qinglian Sword Sect was the first to support Nan Yanxi.
Nangong Ruoxue fell in love with him, and Mu Qingyan was his fiancée.
Nangong Wenjian just wanted to find time to find an opportunity to chat with everyone.
Explain clearly what happened back then.
After handing Mu Qingyan and Nangong Ruoxue into Nan Yanxi's hands, Nangong Wenjian felt relieved.
He had taken care of Mu Qingyan for so many years for his sworn brother Mo Jun, and now he was finally free.
I finally had the nerve to go see my wife, children, and adopted brother's family.
He can tell them with his chest raised and his head raised, I am taking good care of your daughter.
And handed her completely into the hands of her husband.
Those who harmed you will also receive the punishment they deserve.
"So...it turns out to be like this..." Nan Yanxi listened blankly.
It turns out that this is the real reason why he was so trusted not long after he went up the mountain.
"So... when you met me?"
"Yes..." Mu Qingyan nodded: "When you were born, I was nine years old, and my mother-in-law took me to see you."
Then he smiled playfully: "Dark and thin, like a monkey, ugly!"
"I didn't expect that now... I look like a human being."
Nan Yanxi suddenly sweated profusely and curled her lips helplessly: "How can a newborn baby be pretty?"
"You were born like that... cut!"
The two of them exchanged words with each other and chatted for a long time.
Feeling that their bodies were gradually recovering their internal strength, the two stood up and walked out of the cell.
This should be a prison in Hulan State, located in a valley.
It shouldn't be very far from the mountain gate of Tianyun Pavilion, because the towering mountain peaks can be vaguely seen.
Looking around, the valley is full of birds and flowers, and the environment is very beautiful.
Not far away from the two of them, there was a giant black tiger lying on its back.
I was lying lazily on the open ground basking in the sun when I saw Nan Yanxi and two people walking out, and I suddenly got up alertly.
He bared his teeth and roared at the two of them.
As soon as this guy stood up, Nan Yanxi and the two saw its complete figure.
I saw that the front body of this black tiger was thick and powerful, while the hind body was thinner than the front body.
A short tail, only half the length of an ordinary tiger.
The most terrifying thing is the two long fangs growing out of the mouth.
Like two long daggers.
The above characteristics can confirm that this guy is definitely different from a tiger.
Moreover, this reminder was indeed huge, much bigger than the eye-catching white-fronted tiger that he and Li Jingmo encountered that night.
Seeing Nan Yanxi and others coming out, the black tiger bared its fangs and slowly pushed towards the two of them.
Upon seeing this, Nan Yanxi protected Mu Qingyan behind her back and slowly backed away.
I thought to myself where the old monster had gone. If he wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to control this big guy...
