Chapter 221: He is the Night Emperor

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: He is the Night Emperor

The military dagger gleamed under the brilliant lights, the three words inscribed on it, "Unrivaled National Hero," shocking all who saw them.

The man in the black military uniform carried the highest glory from the battlefields of the Northern Domain.

The invincible War God, worshipped by thousands of soldiers—Night Emperor Tianxuan!

Qin Tianxuan appeared with his daughter.

He hadn’t wanted to bring Niannian, but his daughter insisted on coming out to play.

Qin Tianxuan doted on the child far too much, so he immediately brought Niannian aboard an armored vehicle, escorted all the way by his Personal Guard, and made a stylish arrival.

He now looked at the people in the hall, a cold smile on his lips. "Qin Tianxuan is here! Chu Xinyue was my mother. Since she was already expelled from the Chu Family’s records, I’ll take this opportunity to make one thing clear: the Chu Family and I have nothing to do with each other!"

As he spoke, he picked up his daughter and casually walked toward the Heaven-Suppressing King. "All of you had better remember this clearly. From this day forward, if anyone from the Chu Family claims to know me, Qin Tianxuan, they are lying through their teeth!"

Chu Qianqiu stood on the stage, grinding his teeth. "Bastard! You think the Chu Family needs your approval? Don’t think you can scare me just because you’re holding a military dagger and wearing a uniform! Qin Tianxuan, look closely! The man standing before you is the Heaven-Suppressing King of the Southern Domain!"

The Southern Domain’s Heaven-Suppressing King was once considered an equal to the Northern Domain’s Night Emperor.

They were known as the Twin Jades of the North and South.

Chu Qianqiu and Chu Sihai were already standing behind the Heaven-Suppressing King, and they pulled the dazed Chuchu over as well.

The members of the Chu Family held their heads high, their faces filled with pride!

’With the Heaven-Suppressing King as our backer, what can Qin Tianxuan possibly do?’

’He’ll probably be so scared he’ll have to kneel and kowtow on the spot, right?’

But Qin Tianxuan was actually amused by the Chu Family’s antics.

He continued forward until he was standing right in front of the Heaven-Suppressing King.

"Well, Heaven-Suppressing King, what do you have to say?"

The Heaven-Suppressing King said nothing. He was tongue-tied, his face deathly pale.

Chu Qianqiu and Chu Sihai shouted in unison, "Insolent! How dare you be disrespectful to the Celestial King? Is there no respect for hierarchy? Remember the rules of the Battle Department!"

Qin Tianxuan’s eyes flashed like lightning. "You two clowns can shut up now! As long as I’m standing here, what hierarchy matters? Heaven-Suppressing King, you talk!"

Everyone turned to look at the Heaven-Suppressing King.

The Heaven-Suppressing King finally snapped back to his senses, absolutely furious inside.

’The Chu Family has ruined me!’

The corner of his eye twitched. He spun around, gritting his teeth. "Get these members of the Chu Family away from me! Since when have I been so familiar with them?"

The Celestial King’s guards immediately came forward and viciously dragged Chu Qianqiu and the others away.

This...

This...

Chu Qianqiu’s mind went blank. He was utterly dumbfounded.

At that moment, the Heaven-Suppressing King composed himself, walked a few steps over to Qin Tianxuan, and gave a slight bow. "Night Emperor, it’s been a while. After our last sparring session, it took me a long time to recover."

He... he actually bowed!

But even more shocking was the name he had just spoken.

Night Emperor!!

The entire hall was thunderstruck. Everyone’s skin crawled!

All the elites of Jinling had heard that the Night Emperor was in Jinling City.

But a rumor was just a rumor. No one had ever actually seen him!

Who would have thought that at the Chu Family’s matchmaking banquet today, they would actually meet the legendary Night Emperor in person!

Across the room, Chuchu also let out a gasp of surprise.

Covering her mouth with her hand, she suddenly understood.

No wonder!

All of her questions were answered.

Although she had long suspected it, she was still frozen to the spot now that she knew her cousin’s true identity.

CRASH! Chu Qianqiu was so shocked that he stumbled backward, knocking over a table.

Just then, groups of people began striding into the hall from outside.

Members of the Jinling Military Supervision Office and the Battle Department all appeared. They walked directly up to Qin Tianxuan and bowed in unison. "Greetings, Lord Night Emperor!"

Qin Tianxuan waved his hand dismissively and gestured toward the Heaven-Suppressing King. "Come and greet the Heaven-Suppressing King."

The members of the Battle Department bowed again.

The Heaven-Suppressing King was actually a little moved. ’I can’t believe Qin Tianxuan is looking out for my reputation.’

The Heaven-Suppressing King pulled over a nearby chair and invited the Night Emperor to sit down.

Qin Tianxuan glanced at him. "Not yet. Let’s make one thing clear first. Chuchu is my cousin. I don’t care about anyone else in the Chu Family, but I do care a great deal about her."

Saying this, he set his daughter down and beckoned to Chuchu. "You, come over here."

As if in a drunken stupor, Chuchu swayed as she walked over.

"Cousin, I’m here for you. You can tell the Celestial King the truth. If you don’t want this marriage, all you have to do is say the word."

Chuchu was shaken to her very core.

A warmth spread through her. Qin Tianxuan had finally acknowledged her.

At this, the Heaven-Suppressing King became flustered and waved his hands frantically. "There’s no need, Miss Chuchu doesn’t need to say a thing! I withdraw from this marriage. I will absolutely never disturb her again."

Qin Tianxuan smiled faintly. "Thank you for being so understanding. From this day forward, the Canglan Family is a friend of mine!"

The Heaven-Suppressing King was both shocked and overjoyed.

He couldn’t help but bow deeply again. "With your words, this trip has not been in vain!"

Qin Tianxuan clapped his hands lightly.

From outside, Wang Hou and the other leaders of the Night Emperor’s Five Palaces and Nine Armies slowly emerged.

Following them were the Governor of Jinling and other local high-ranking officials.

Qin Tianxuan spoke slowly to Wang Hou, "The Canglan Family has encountered some financial problems. Order the four major Silver Alliances to support them. Then, take thirty billion from my personal account and give it to the Heaven-Suppressing King for his use."

My god!

The Heaven-Suppressing King was on the verge of tears.

Tears of gratitude.

’His family’s business was on the verge of collapse. For the sake of some capital, he, a mighty Celestial King, had to go around begging anyone and everyone, yet he hadn’t managed to secure a single cent in investment.’

’And yet, with a single sentence, Qin Tianxuan had just given him thirty billion!’

’Such decisiveness, such incredible generosity!’

’How could he possibly compare?’

The Heaven-Suppressing King’s heart surged with emotion. He gripped Qin Tianxuan’s hand, his voice thick with tears. "The Canglan Family will never forget the friend we have in you!"

Qin Tianxuan smiled faintly, then finally picked up Niannian and took a seat.

Niannian thought this place was boring. Her daddy was always talking, and there was nothing fun to do.

But then she remembered what her mommy had told her, and she asked in her bright voice, "Daddy, is this Grandma’s house?"

Qin Tianxuan’s heart skipped a beat.

He didn’t know how to answer.

He could not let go of the grudges and hatred he held for the Chu Family.

But this place was, undeniably, the home of his mother’s family, the family of Chu Xinyue.

Across from them, Chuchu could no longer hold back her tears. She came over and hugged Niannian. "I’m your auntie. You have the blood of the Chu Family running in your veins, too."

"That’s enough!" Qin Tianxuan shot to his feet, his eyes fierce. "All uninvolved parties may leave now. Tonight is about the personal score between me and the Chu Family!"
