"I just don't know why Miss Nangong has traveled so far this time?" By the time Lin Xiao had brewed the tea, Luo Qinghan had already taken the children upstairs, and Luo Buyu and his wife had gone to the study to rest.
This space was left to Lin Xiao.
They all knew what had happened to the Lin family back then. By all rights, Lin Xiao and the Nangong family were on terms of blood feud. Although that matter had ended... the memory should have been permanently etched in Lin Xiao's mind.
Nangong Wushuang also knew that everyone had cleared their schedules for the two of them to have a proper talk. She looked at her teacup, feeling a little awkward.
"Speak, what brings you here?" Lin Xiao had managed to suppress his other side for a good while in Shashi these past few days, but upon seeing Nangong Wushuang, his mind flashed back to everything he had seen at the old Lin family mansion when he first returned to Shashi, recalling all the documents that had been placed on his desk.
Killing intent slowly seeped from his body.
Even a sliver of killing intent caused Nangong Wushuang's face to turn pale. She hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Dragon King, I have come to your doorstep this time to express my apologies. It was my negligence in managing the family before that led to the tragedy. This time, after clearing out those people from the Nangong family, I have come to beg for punishment."
As she spoke, Nangong Wushuang instinctively knelt on the ground.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "If you hadn't come, I might have buried everything in the past. But... your arrival has successfully stirred my memories."
"Do you know the consequence?"
Lin Xiao's voice was incredibly icy, and the temperature in the living room dropped to freezing.
The central air conditioning in the room seemed to have lost its function.
"I... I know."
Nangong Wushuang's face was deathly pale. She no longer dared to meet Lin Xiao's gaze.
It was too terrifying...
This time, Lin Xiao was a thousand times more terrifying than when she last saw him!
In her eyes, the current Lin Xiao was like a god descended to earth...
A god...
Could it be?!
A possibility suddenly flashed through Nangong Wushuang's mind.
Could it be that Lin Xiao, as the ancestor had said, had entered the legendary Divine Realm?!
If this news were to be released...
Lin Xiao would undoubtedly be one of the most esteemed figures in the Dragon Country... no, in the entire world.
Simply as Lin Xiao, without any titles or achievements, he was enough to stand at the pinnacle of the world.
This was a realm that even those old seniors had strived for their entire lives without truly reaching.
"Since you know," Lin Xiao said, leaning forward and raising a finger to lift Nangong Wushuang's chin, "then you've come to court death?"
"Your Highness the Dragon King!"
Nangong Wushuang was forced to look up and meet Lin Xiao's eyes. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "I came this time actually to tell you one more thing."
"I managed to extract some information from them, something related to the extermination of the Lin family back then."
"Hmm?"
Lin Xiao's eyebrows shot up, and he directly grabbed Nangong Wushuang by the neck, lifting her up. "You, is there anything else you want to say?"
Nangong Wushuang desperately tried to regulate her tone and spoke with immense difficulty, "My Nangong family was not the mastermind behind it."
