Chapter 733: Joining the Academy Together

Lan Ning and Lan Yi had known that Ye Nanxin came from a small, humble place, but they never looked down on him. Instead, they respected their daughter’s choice.

This alone was enough for Lin Qian to view them in a positive light, believing that they had noble characters.

Such people were worth having as family. Otherwise, Lin Qian wouldn’t have revealed his extraordinary abilities, nor would he have helped the Sky Blue Phoenix Clan improve their strength.

What troubled Lin Qian the most was the stark difference in value between the resources of Xuanhuan Star and the outside world.

For example, the antidote for the Netherworld Poison was something Hua Sheng had casually ordered his subordinates to concoct. It was cheap and not worth mentioning.

However, in the eyes of Lan Ning, Lan Yi, and the others, it was a priceless treasure. They were so astonished by it that they couldn’t contain their emotions.

At this moment, both of them looked at Lin Qian with complicated expressions. Although Lin Qian was technically family, the gifts he gave were far too extravagant.

They couldn’t help but wonder how someone like Lin Qian could have come from such a remote place.

"Yi'er, quickly take some people to Blue Cloud Mountain and see if the Netherworld Clan is still there. If they’ve left, try to find any clues," Lan Ning instructed his son urgently after regaining his composure. "Keep this matter quiet; we don't want to alarm the clan."

Lan Yi nodded, turned, and left to carry out his father's orders. However, as he departed, he kept glancing back at Ye Nanxin, still struggling to reconcile the man in front of him with the idea of someone possessing an Immortal bloodline.

Seeing that his granddaughter was out of danger, Lan Ning finally sighed in relief. Turning to face Ye Nanxin, he smiled warmly.

"You must be Xiao Ye. My precious granddaughter often talks about you," Lan Ning said, his gaze filled with approval as he carefully observed Ye Nanxin. "You’re certainly a fine-looking young man. Feng’er once told us about your modest background and limited potential, but both her father and I agreed that as long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters. We wouldn’t be the kind to stand in the way of true love."

"But I have to say, the situation is quite different from what Feng'er described," Lan Ning chuckled softly before looking at Ye Nanxin with curiosity. "I’m quite interested in your Immortal bloodline. Would you mind showing this old man a glimpse?"

Lan Ning's friendly attitude instantly eased the tension, and Ye Nanxin felt much more relaxed.

Since the elder had asked so kindly, it would be rude to refuse. Nodding, Ye Nanxin replied, "Grandfather, as you command."

With that, Ye Nanxin took a deep breath, and the soul energy deep within him surged out, enveloping his entire body.

As his soul energy condensed, it ignited into fierce flames, radiating a terrifying heat.

If the furniture in the room wasn’t made from specially treated materials, such as the fire-resistant wood of the giant phoenix tree, everything would have already gone up in flames.

Despite the protection, wisps of smoke began to rise from the furniture, as though they were on the verge of catching fire.

Surrounded by blazing flames, Ye Nanxin looked like the reincarnation of a Flame Emperor, his aura transforming as if he were the sovereign of fire, ruling over all.

Lin Qian’s Imperial Aura naturally flowed out to shield his mother-in-law, ensuring she wouldn’t be affected by her husband’s powerful energy. Meanwhile, beside him, Ye Xin effortlessly resisted her father’s oppressive aura, her Empress’s will manifesting clearly.

This technique was something Ye Xin had only recently learned under the guidance of Zhuge Ming, barely mastering it in the last few days.

Lan Ning was left speechless, staring at Ye Nanxin in disbelief, his brows furrowing. What shocked him most was the immense pressure he felt from Ye Nanxin’s aura.

"An Immortal bloodline... so powerful!" Lan Ning marveled, gazing at the awe-inspiring figure of Ye Nanxin. He could clearly sense the overwhelming force of Ye Nanxin's presence, and even more so, he felt himself being completely suppressed by it.

The Sky Blue Phoenix Clan, being aligned with fire due to their Phoenix ancestry, would normally not be easily suppressed by any fire-type aura.

But Ye Nanxin’s aura completely overpowered Lan Ning’s, not because of cultivation, but because of bloodline superiority.

Lan Ning estimated that even the mightiest bloodlines within the Phoenix Clan, such as the Fire Phoenix lineage, would be thoroughly suppressed by Ye Nanxin.

Lan Ning then shifted his gaze toward Lin Qian and Ye Xin. The aura emanating from these two also shocked him deeply.

In Lan Ning’s eyes, Lin Qian and Ye Xin were no longer just two young individuals. They now seemed like supreme rulers, holding life and death in their hands.

Especially Lin Qian—the aura surrounding him was simply terrifying.

Lan Ning had met countless emperors and rulers across the Hai Xuan Star Domain, yet none had ever given him the feeling that Lin Qian now did.

Out of nowhere, a thought crossed Lan Ning’s mind—ordained by heaven, the son of heaven.

This thought jolted him to the core, as though struck by lightning. He dared not dwell on it any longer.

When he looked up again, his heart was in turmoil, waves of disbelief crashing through his mind.

Staring at his granddaughter, Lan Ning could feel the unmistakable aura of an Empress radiating from her. It was intertwined with Lin Qian’s Imperial Aura, the two complementing each other perfectly.

Together, their combined presence was even more powerful.

Lan Ning now understood why his granddaughter’s strength had surged so dramatically, surpassing even his own and that of Lan Yi, making her stronger than the Fire Phoenix Princess.

"It seems that Feng'er has found herself a remarkable husband," Lan Ning thought, casting a deep glance at Ye Nanxin. His granddaughter’s transformation clearly had something to do with him as well.

Lan Ning suddenly realized that his granddaughter’s entire family was far from ordinary.

He found himself wondering what Lin Qian’s parents must be like. Could they be just as extraordinary?

After showing his talents, Ye Nanxin retracted his soul energy, feeling a little uneasy as he awaited Lan Ning's reaction.

"I must say, Feng’er is truly fortunate," Lan Ning said, stepping forward to pat Ye Nanxin on the shoulder. "We were initially worried about your low cultivation and limited potential, thinking you wouldn’t be able to stay by Feng’er’s side for long. But now, all those worries have vanished. She’s in good hands."

"How about this? Why don’t you join her at Hai Xuan Academy? Feng'er is a student there, and if you enroll as well, you can stay by her side."

Lan Ning’s sudden suggestion caught Lin Qian and the others off guard. "Father-in-law can go too?"

"As long as you’re under a hundred years old, you can enroll. Your father-in-law is only seventy, isn’t he?"

"..." Lin Qian was speechless, and Ye Xin blinked in surprise, momentarily at a loss for words.

For both of them, the idea of attending the academy alongside their father felt a bit… strange.
