Chapter 189 Iron Blood Loyal Heart

An hour later, the three Supreme Great Ancestors sat side by side in the big residence for the Ni family’s great ancestors.

He Liangce entered from the outside with steady footsteps and a face that looked like jade. Even when he was presenting himself before three Supreme Great Ancestors, he did not panic at all.

Ni Jingshen and the other great ancestors nodded and praised, ‘Sure enough, he’s a clever child from the He family—this behavior of his alone is enough to show how unordinary he is.

He Liangce greeted respectfully with a deep bow, “Greetings, Great Ancestors.”

“You have a letter from Brother He? Hand it over,” Ni Jingshen instructed with a nod.

He Liangce retrieved the letter without hurry, but before he could present it to the great ancestors, a strong wind wrapped up the letter and blew it away.

The young master looked up as he was taken aback. When he realized that Ni Jingshen was the one who took the letter away through telekinesis, he could not help but look surprised.

Among the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors, Ni Jingshen was known for being experienced and prudent, so what he just did was unusual.

Ni Jingshen took the letter at once, but he subconsciously paused when he sensed He Liangce’s gaze. Being a Supreme Great Ancestor, he was extremely sensitive to looks from outsiders, hence he quickly sensed the strange look from He Liangce.

The great ancestor flushed and cleared his throat before he opened the letter.

Since he had just come out of comprehending the integration of Heaven and man, he, including his mental state, was still in an unsteady state.

After all, instead of fathoming the state through his years of power, Ni Jingshen was forcefully pushed into it by Ou Yangming. Besides, the great ancestor was not gifted like Big Yellow, who could directly communicate with Ou Yangming through their consciousness.

Therefore, once Ni Jingshen left the state of the integration of Heaven and man, it was inevitable for his spirit to be slightly defective, and he was doing things as he wished.

Ni Jingshen read the letter by just browsing through for a brief moment. His face suddenly changed as he questioned, “You want to marry Yinghong from our clan?”

“Yes, please fulfill my wish, senior,” He Liangce answered and bowed again.

“No way!” Ni Jingshen uttered without any hesitation. “That’s impossible. You may leave!”

He Liangce looked at the great ancestor in shock because he did not expect to be rejected so easily.

Nonetheless, he had no idea that the situation would have been entirely different if he had arrived a day earlier.

He Liangce bowed and voiced out after a moment of hesitation, “Senior, according to the promise between our clans in the past…” “I don’t care about the promise.” Ni Jingtong glared and said, “We’re not going to agree to this no matter what!”

He Liangce opened his mouth. He suddenly felt like he could not reason with someone who had a completely different view from him, which was unreasonable.

The young master was puzzled, but he knew Ou Yangming must have done something to influence the great ancestors, or they would not have turned him down so resolutely.

Ni Xuetian furrowed his eyebrows and suggested, “Uncles, how about we hear him out first?”

“Xuetian, do you not understand our standpoint? Don’t forget, you gained something too!” Ni Jingtong shook his head.

He was displeased with Ni Xuetian’s att.i.tude because Ou Yangming had truly made a huge contribution. Ni Jingtong and Ni Jingshen apprehended the way of nature and arrived at the doorstep to the integration of Heaven and man. Although their foundation was still not solid enough, the door was already opened for them.

As long as the brothers cultivated for a year or so, they would become Supreme Great Ancestors who really perceived the integration of Heaven and man.

It seemed like nothing they did would be enough to repay Ou Yangming for the favor.

Moreover, Ni Xuetian acquired a magic military saber!

It was a generous gift that was enough to move anyone. The three great ancestors knew very well why Ou Yangming spared no effort in helping them.

They benefited tremendously because of Ou Yangming, so if they became ungrateful by marrying Ni Yinghong to someone else, even if other people said nothing about it, how could they live with it?

Ni Xuetian smiled bitterly. “Uncles, I remember it very well, but it was the wish of our deceased ancestor…”

.

“The wish of our deceased ancestor? No, impossible!” Ni Jingshen suddenly stood up with fearsome eyes, but the other great ancestors, who knew him very well, noticed an intense cold-intent from the depth of his eyes.

A hint of fear could also be seen.

Ni Jingtong gasped and looked at He Liangce with a grave expression on his face.

“It isn’t mentioned in this letter…” Ni Jingshen stopped abruptly and mumbled, “Yes, it can’t be mentioned in the letter…”

Ni Xuetian cleared his throat and asked, “Liangce, are you aware of the real relations.h.i.+p between our clans?”

He Liangce answered loudly, “My clan has been staying in Linlang County for a long time while yours has been keeping watch in Changlong County. Everyone thinks our clans are only friendly on the surface but a deep friends.h.i.+p was already built between our clans by our first ancestors from the first generation. In fact, the great ancestors from both sides are as close as brothers.”

Ni Xuetian could not help but laugh. “That’s right, looks like you already know the truth. Ah, based on your current age and cultivation base, it’s not surprising that you know. This was also why we didn’t say anything when you wanted to walk the Testimony Path.” “Thank you for being so generous, great ancestors.” He Liangce bowed. “You’ve only seen Yinghong once, am I right? Why do you suddenly want to marry her?” Ni Xuetian asked with a smile.
