717 Bring Dabao Home, The Duel Begins (1)

Nangong Yan was not in the mood to care about Nangong Li’s emotions. Three days would pass in the blink of an eye. That would be her last chance. She had to focus all her energy on the duel with the Eldest Princess.

She knew that the Eldest Princess had an expert in her hands. She had let her guard down many times and would not do it again. She took a deep breath and suppressed her restless emotions. She looked down at Dabao, who was on the stool.

Dabao was still looking at her with his big black eyes. She sighed and reached out to rub his bald little head. “It’s good if they’re as obedient as you.”

On the other hand, after Nangong Li walked out angrily, he sat down on the steps outside the house alone.

!!

He could not understand who that man was and what his relationship with his mother was. He could not understand why she would protect Yan Jiuchao’s child when Yan Jiuchao had already done such a heartless thing to his mother.

Yes, he was a good hostage. But it was enough as long as he was alive, right? What did it matter if he tortured him? They had suffered so much at Yan Jiuchao’s hands. Wasn’t it only right and proper for their sons to repay their father’s debt?

Nangong Li would not admit that his jealousy of Yan Jiuchao had increased. It was not only because of him, but also because he had given birth to a few outstanding children, the seventy-feet Gu Elder, the Little Prince of Nanzhao!

He still remembered that when he was five years old, he had accidentally entered the throne room. He saw his grandfather sitting on a golden throne. He walked up the steps curiously, but after taking a few steps, he was carried down by his grandfather’s eunuch.

He still remembered his grandfather’s expression.

His grandfather frowned, as if he had done something he shouldn’t have.

What about this child? What right did he have to walk up? What right did he have to sit on the throne? What right did he have to use the heirloom seal as a toy?

Grandpa was too biased!

“Li’er.”

Just as Nangong Li was so angry that his eyes turned red, an extremely gentle voice suddenly came from behind him.

Nangong Li’s thoughts stopped abruptly. He restrained the anger in his eyes and a cold expression appeared on his face. “What are you doing here?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He could guess who it was without looking back.

Bai Qianli sat down beside him and looked at him dotingly. “What are you thinking about, Li’er? Why are you so distracted?”

Nangong Li said bluntly, “What does it have to do with you? I’m warning you, you better stay away from the Princess. She’s not someone you can provoke!”

Bai Qianli was not angry at being scolded. He lowered his head and smiled gently. “Alright, I won’t provoke her.”

His obedience made Nangong Li’s expression improve slightly. Nangong Li added, “You better leave this place now and don’t appear in front of us again!”

Bai Qianli said, “I’m afraid I can’t do this.”

Just as he felt that this person was quite tactful and dared to disobey his orders, Nangong Li said unhappily, “Why?”

“You know why,” Bai Qianli said.

There were some things that he might as well not know. Even if he guessed it, he had to pretend not to have guessed it. Bai Qianli’s words completely angered Nangong Li. He stood up, pulled out the sword at his waist, and pointed it at Bai Qianli. “Who do you think you are! How dare you serve my mother!”

The smile in Bai Qianli’s eyes finally disappeared bit by bit. He raised his head and looked at Nangong Li steadily. He enunciated each word clearly. “I’m your father.”

Nangong Li was furious. “Nonsense!”

“I didn’t,” Bai Qianli said.

Nangong Li was so angry that his body was trembling. “Shut up! You’re not my father! My father is Prince Yan of the Great Zhou! He’s not a gigolo who’s hiding in the mountains and forests!”

Although he had long guessed that his reaction would be like this, he could not help but be disappointed when he really saw him. Bai Qianli’s heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. He did not say anything else and calmly stood up to return to his room.

Nangong Li gripped the sword in his hand tightly and looked at his back. “Stop dreaming! You’ll never be my father!”

“What are you arguing about!” Nangong Yan walked out of the room and looked coldly at Nangong Li.

Nangong Li also looked at her, his eyes filled with resentment. Then, he gritted his teeth, threw away the sword in his hand, and rushed into the night without looking back.

“Li’er…” Bai Qianli, who had just entered the room, heard the commotion and turned around to chase after him.

Nangong Li stopped him. “Don’t worry about him. If he wants to be willful, let him be.”

Bai Qianli said worriedly, “It’s so late. Will it be dangerous for him to wander in the forest?”

Nangong Yan frowned and said, “With Asura secretly protecting him, he’ll be fine.”
