Chapter 159 Kneeling as punishment
Nangong Min did not respond directly to Nangong Yun's words, but smiled and said to her: "Grandma, let me introduce someone to you."
After saying that, Nangong Min stood up and walked to Mu Jin with a smile. In front of everyone, he grabbed Mu Jin's hand and walked in front of Nangong Yun.
When Bai Ling'er saw Nangong Min holding Mu Jin's hand tightly, her face turned pale.
When Nangong Yun saw this, the smile on his face seemed to fade a little, but no one noticed.
Nangong Min and Nangong Yun introduced Mu Jin.
"Grandmother, this is Mu Jin, the daughter of the General's Mansion of Dongyue State. My grandson was chased by Nangong Ce and fainted on the road. Fortunately, I met A Jin and her eldest brother General Mu. They saved me and took in my homeless grandson during the time when I lost my memory. Without them, I am afraid that my grandson would never see you in this life."
Mu Jin bowed to Nangong Yun and said, "Hello, old lady."
Nangong Yun smiled and nodded at Mu Jin, and said to Bai Ling'er beside him: "Ling'er, bring the things up and give them to Miss Mu."
Bai Ling'er handed a brocade box to Mu Jin, who nodded and took it.
Nangong Yun stood up and saluted Mu Jin. Seeing this, Mu Jin hurried forward to support Nangong Yun.
"Madam, you can't do that."
Nangong Yun said: "Thank you Miss Mu for saving Min'er's life. On behalf of Nangong Shenzong and his deceased parents, I would like to thank you."
Mu Jinlian said he didn't dare.
Nangong Yun said, "The brocade box contains the sacred object of our Nangong Divine Sect - the longevity pill. Our ancestors passed it down to Min'er, and there are only ten pills in total. Nine of them were stolen by that evil creature Nangong Ce, and the only remaining pill was saved because I wanted to take it in advance and placed it in the room."
"Miss Mu, there is no need to refuse. You can afford this longevity pill. If you and General Mu hadn't saved my grandson, the foundation of my Nangong Divine Sect over the past few hundred years would have been completely destroyed. It would be useless to ask for this longevity pill."
Mu Jin had just heard about the miraculous effects of the longevity pill from Su Yi last night. Nangong Yun giving her this pill was like giving her an extra life. She certainly knew how valuable this gift was.
Mu Jin hurriedly said, "Madam, there is no need to do this. Min has saved me many times. No matter how great the life-saving grace is, it has been offset. I really feel unworthy of this longevity pill."
Seeing Mu Jin refusing, Nangong Min smiled and said to Mu Jin: "Ah Jin, please accept it. Grandmother will never take back anything she gives."
Nangong Yun listened to Nangong Min's words and nodded at Mu Jin with a smile.
"Miss Mu, you don't have to be polite. I think you can bear it, so you can bear it!"
Mu Jin was not a pretentious person, nor did she like this kind of push-and-pull drama. She did feel unworthy of it, but it was not an option to refuse it now. She thought to herself that she had no choice but to accept it first, and then return it to Nangong Yun when the opportunity arose.
Since he thought so, Mu Jin could only thank Nangong Yun again and temporarily accept the longevity pill.
Nangong Yun looked at Su Yi behind Mu Jin, narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and asked Nangong Min: "Who is this? Why does he look so familiar to me?"
Without waiting for Nangong Min to introduce him, Su Yi stepped forward and saluted Nangong Yun.
"Old Madam, how could you forget about me? I, Su Yi, once stayed at Nangong Divine Sect with my master Yan Xiu when I was a child."
Su Yi finished speaking, then touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and continued: "I will also give you a piece of the best medicinal field~"
Nangong Yun seemed to suddenly remember Su Yi. She smiled happily and said, "So it was you, the naughty one. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. That time, you were severely punished by your master. Speaking of your master, has he been doing well these past few years?"
Su Yi smiled and replied, "Master has been traveling around for the past few years, and I haven't seen him for a long time. I'm afraid he has forgotten that he has a disciple like me."
Nangong Yun burst into laughter at Su Yi's words.
Nangong Yun then jokingly told everyone about the interesting things that happened to Su Yi in his childhood in the Nangong Divine Sect, and everyone else laughed along when they heard it.
After reminiscing for a long time, Nangong Yun called the servants and took Su Yi and Mu Jin to the guest room to rest. She also sent the rest of the people away, leaving only Nangong Min.
Bai Ling'er saw that everyone had left, but she still looked at Nangong Min reluctantly. However, she also knew that she could not disobey Nangong Yun's orders, so she walked out of the hall, looking back every few steps.
After everyone left, Nangong Min asked Nangong Yun, "Grandma, do you have anything to say to your grandson?"
"Your Majesty!"
Nangong Yun ordered Nangong Min to kneel down. Nangong Min was stunned. He looked at Nangong Yun with a cold face, which was completely different from the kind and amiable look he had just shown in front of everyone.
Nangong Min was just stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly knelt down.
Nangong Yun said: "This is the first time I have made you kneel down since you were a child. Do you know why?"
Nangong Min’s back stiffened and he dared not make a sound.
"Why didn't you return to Nangong Divine Sect immediately after you recovered your memory to shoulder your responsibilities? Instead, you chose to escape. If Su Yi hadn't sent a message to Elder Chen, I would have thought you were dead!"
Nangong Min knelt down and lowered his head, but did not directly respond to Nangong Yun's words: "My grandson likes Mu Jin. This time I came back, firstly to avenge my father and mother, and secondly to ask my grandmother to help me and Mu Jin."
Nangong Yun was not surprised at all: "You didn't come back just for her? I tell you, it's impossible!"
Nangong Min begged, "Grandma, why not? Don't you love your grandson the most?"
Nangong Yun said sternly: "Because you are the future leader of Nangong Divine Sect, you can only marry Miaogong Spirit Girl! If you tell me that Mu Jin is Miaogong Spirit Girl, then Grandmother will agree that you two can be together."
Nangong Min kowtowed: "My grandson will not marry anyone other than Mu Jin in this life, I beg grandma to grant my wish!"
Nangong Yun sighed: "Silly child, grandma can see that you really like Mu Jin, but how long can the love in this world last? Day after day, year after year, no matter how deep the friendship is, it will eventually become dull. It doesn't matter who you are with!"
Nangong Min couldn't listen to Nangong Yun's advice, he continued to beg Nangong Yun.
"Min'er, listen to your grandmother's advice. When you come back this time, you must choose a date to inherit the position of the leader of the Nangong Divine Sect. On the day of the succession, you must marry Ling'er together with you!"
Nangong Min said anxiously: "Grandma, I don't want to inherit the position of sect leader. There are so many good disciples in this sect..."
"Evil creature!" Before Nangong Min could finish his words, Nangong Yun slammed the table, and the cups and plates on the table shattered to the ground, and the broken porcelain pieces mixed with tea splashed all over Nangong Min.
