Chapter 293 - 151: Gong Ning’s Undying Obsession; Xiaoning Accompanies the Elders to Meet Lord Lu

Chapter 293: Chapter 151: Gong Ning’s Undying Obsession; Xiaoning Accompanies the Elders to Meet Lord Lu

Back in the day, those foreigners strutted around Yun Port City, insufferably arrogant. No one could do anything about them.

But when Lord Lu took action, those who stood against him either died or fled. He took back, one by one, the foreign concessions that had been occupied for decades.

As for the riffraff and villains lurking in every street and alley, they wouldn’t dare let out a peep in the presence of Lord Lu.

Gong Yuanshan was right. Yun Port City had become the safest place in the Daxia New Country, all thanks to that very same Lord Lu.

Now that they had all arrived on this legendary figure’s turf, families in tow, they had to pay him a visit, whether out of courtesy or respect.

Gong Jue nodded. "Yuanshan, I happened to bring some Immortal Flesh with me. You should come with the rest of us old-timers to pay a visit to this Lord Lu."

Immortal Flesh was not a gift an ordinary person could offer; it was one of the Gong Family’s most prized treasures.

But to use it for a visit to Lord Lu, Gong Jue felt not the slightest bit of regret. In fact, she was more worried that even a gift of Immortal Flesh wouldn’t be good enough for him.

In truth, Gong Jue and the other two elders had long wanted to meet this Lord Lu. It wasn’t just them; the line of people waiting to see Lord Lu could probably stretch from Yun Port City all the way back to their hometown in the Eastern Province.

Which of the Martial Arts experts in the Daxia New Country wasn’t fighting tooth and nail for a chance to meet Lord Lu?

If it weren’t for Gong Yuanshan, the three of them would have had to get in line and wait like everyone else.

At this thought, Gong Jue couldn’t help but feel fortunate. Sending Yuanshan to Yun Port City had truly been the right move.

Just then, Gong Jue, the other two elders, and Gong Yuanshan suddenly sensed something. In perfect unison, their gazes shifted to the open ground outside the main hall.

A slender, graceful figure with light steps walked in at a leisurely pace.

After her breakthrough to Grandmaster of Huajin, Gong Ning was like a whole new person. If before she was a rare beauty of refined temperament who made people take a second glance, now she was a breathtaking woman with a natural allure. She exuded a charm that made it impossible to look away; her every smile and gesture held an indescribable magnetism.

Seeing that it was their favorite junior, smiles finally graced the faces of Gong Jue and the other two elders. Grand Elder Gong Jue, in particular, beamed with affection and said, "Oh, it’s Xiaoning!"

Gong Yuanshan looked at his daughter, whose aura had changed so drastically, and his brow furrowed slightly. ’Why do I feel this indescribable sense of unease?’

Gong Ning had indeed changed a great deal. Her face was the same, but her aura was completely different.

The old Gong Ning had been valiant and sharp, but the Gong Ning before him now was bewitching and alluring, a captivating beauty like a rose with thorns.

It was plausible that such a change could be caused by her breakthrough, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

"Xiaoning, you broke through?" Gong Yuanshan’s voice was tinged with uncertainty.

Gong Ning nodded slightly and spoke with a hint of flirtatious charm, "Yes, Father. And the three Elders. I succeeded."

Upon hearing this, Second Elder Gong Shouchen’s face lit up with elation. "HAHAHAHA, excellent! Truly the most outstanding junior of our Gong Family! I, Gong Shouchen, was right to believe in you!"

Gong Jue and the female Fourth Elder also shared a smile, their eyes filled with gratification.

The Gong Family now had another Grandmaster of Huajin, and one who was not yet thirty years old at that.

What did this mean? It meant that before she reached one hundred, Gong Ning had ample time to strive for the legendary Realm of a Grandmaster of Divine Intent.

One must understand, the Realm of Grandmaster of Divine Intent was something their two clan ancestors hadn’t even come close to touching before they died.

Those two clan ancestors had been prodigiously talented and had cultivated bitterly their entire lives. Yet in the end, they stalled at the Peak of Huajin Grandmaster, never even touching the threshold to the Realm of Grandmaster of Divine Intent.

But Gong Ning? She had become a Grandmaster of Huajin before the age of thirty. Such innate talent was practically unheard of in the entire Daxia New Country.

Yet as her father, Gong Yuanshan looked at the familiar sight of Gong Ning and couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Although Gong Ning’s expressions and movements were the same as before, she gave him an inexplicable sense of distance.

’Sigh... could it be that I’ve just been too busy lately, and my mind is playing tricks on me?’

Gong Yuanshan shook his head, forcefully suppressing his unease. He sighed inwardly, cursing himself for being so suspicious.

’My daughter finally became a Grandmaster of Huajin. This is a monumentally joyous occasion. What am I doing, being so paranoid? It’s completely unbecoming.’

’Perhaps the changes from the breakthrough were simply too great, and she just needs some time to adjust.’

Gong Yuanshan waved his hand. "Xiaoning, since you’ve made your breakthrough, you should accompany the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Fourth Elder to the Lu Family to meet Lord Lu."

A perfectly measured smile touched Gong Ning’s lips. "Yes, Father."
