Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Sovereign’s Arrival

The Gu Family of Southern County was a renowned and prestigious family with a hundred-year history.

However, in recent years, the family business had suffered setbacks. After several failed investments, they were already showing signs of decline.

Thus, the Gu Family hoped to use a marriage alliance to restore their former glory.

At first, they had their eyes on Han Biwei, hoping to use the funds of the nouveau riche Han Family. But who would have guessed that Han Biwei would turn out to be a sickly disappointment? The Gu Family hastily broke off the engagement. After several more years of scheming, they finally latched onto a new sponsor.

After Qin Tianxuan gave the order, the Prince from the God of Wealth Hall immediately investigated the matter.

"According to the investigation, the Gu Family’s eldest son, Gu Yue Xuan, is desperately pursuing the eldest daughter of the Shen Family of Su City. It looks like he has his sights set on the multi-billion-dollar investment fund behind the Shen Family!"

Qin Tianxuan just snorted.

The Prince continued to report, "And now, it seems the Shen Family has heard some rumors and suspects that Gu Yue Xuan has an illegitimate daughter. We haven’t confirmed the details yet!"

Qin Tianxuan sneered. "Fine, I get it. They’re suspecting Niannian!"

What?!

The Prince nearly exploded with rage. "How outrageous! Sir, I’ll take action at once!"

"What action?" Qin Tianxuan said coolly. "I’ll go meet the Shen Family first and find out where these rumors are coming from. Arrange it at once!"

After hanging up, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside, Han Biwei was comforting Niannian, while Han Qian Jun and his wife were extremely anxious.

When they saw him enter, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s good that you drove them away. Don’t stoop to the Gu Family’s level," Jiang Wan Jun sighed. "And they call themselves a renowned family. What a disgusting thing to do!"

But Han Qian Jun’s expression was grim. "Tianxuan, we can’t just let this go! They humiliated Weiwei and scared my granddaughter. I’m not done with the Gu Family!"

Han Biwei put Niannian down, hurried over to pour tea, and patted her father’s back. "Dad, what are you talking about? Do you want Tianxuan to go make trouble with the Gu Family? They’re powerful and well-connected. I say we just let it go! If things get too bad, we can just move!"

Her eyes were rimmed with red, her heart filled with unspoken grievances, but more than anything, she didn’t want to see Qin Tianxuan take such a risk.

Han Qian Jun smiled. "Don’t you worry, my dear daughter. Our Tianxuan has a way!"

Han Biwei was speechless. "Dad, you’re being ridiculous. It was already a struggle for Tianxuan just to drive away those thugs."

At this, even Jiang Wan Jun laughed. "Weiwei, dear, that’s enough. My son-in-law can definitely handle the Gu Family!"

’What has gotten into my parents?’

’Are they treating Qin Tianxuan like some kind of savior?’

Han Biwei felt ashamed.

She pulled Qin Tianxuan outside and apologized in a low voice, "My parents have been bullied by the Han Family for years. They’ve always dreamed of finding a powerful and influential son-in-law to finally give them a reason to be proud. That’s why they’re asking so much of you. Please don’t take it to heart."

But Qin Tianxuan looked completely serious. "It’s rare for Uncle Han to ask me for a favor. I’ll be sure to handle it well for him! Besides, this is about you and Niannian. How could I possibly stand by and do nothing?"

Han Biwei stomped her foot. "Fine, you can all be ridiculous! I wash my hands of it!"

She turned to go back inside but paused at the doorway. "I forbid you from taking this risk. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the Gu Family myself and make things clear. I can handle whatever they want to do to me!"

Qin Tianxuan silently watched her tired retreating figure, his heart aching. ’This silly girl... she endures everything herself! She insists on carrying every hardship alone! Fine. Before tomorrow, I’ll deal with the Gu Family once and for all. I won’t let you suffer another moment of injustice.’

He checked the time and turned to leave.

Outside, the Prince was already waiting in the car.

After getting in the car, the Prince spoke in a low voice, "Everything for the visit to the Shen Family is arranged. It turns out they’re somewhat related to Sister Lingsu, and she’s already there. But, if I may ask, in what capacity will you be attending, Sir?"

Qin Tianxuan’s expression was placid. "As a father."

The car started, heading straight for the Shen Family’s residence!

In Su City, a place of great wealth and luxury, the Shen Family’s residence was built halfway up a mountain amidst a dense forest, overlooking the entire city skyline at night.

At that moment, the entire Shen residence was brightly lit and bustling with activity, as they were hosting a very important guest!

That guest was the Shen Family’s most illustrious relative, the Divine Doctor Lingsu!

Lingsu had stepped out of the bustling main hall, and attendants from the Celestial Medicine Hall immediately secured the surrounding area.

She took out her phone and sent a voice message to the Prince.

"What’s the situation? Why is the Sir coming to the Shen Family? Did they do something wrong?"

The Prince replied with a single text: "The Sir and I are about to arrive. He is furious, and it seems to be related to the Young Master. I’m afraid this will be a disaster for the Shen Family! A terrible one!"

Lingsu put down her phone, her heart filled with shock.

She spun around, marched straight back into the hall, and called out to her uncle, Shenyuan Shan, "Quick! Get the whole family ready for a reception! My Sir is arriving!"

The Sect Leader of the Shen Family, who was holding a cup of tea, froze. "Lingsu, who is this Sir of yours?"

Lingsu’s face darkened. "Night Emperor Celestial Profound!"

CRASH! Shenyuan Shan dropped his teacup, his lips trembling. "My heavens! That... That Sir is coming here? Ah! Lingsu, is this a good omen for our Shen Family, or a bad one?"

Lingsu shook her head grimly. "I don’t know the details yet, but it doesn’t look good. Uncle, you need to prepare yourself. When he arrives, I won’t have any chance to plead your case!"

Shenyuan Shan’s legs started to shake.

Thanks to his connection with Lingsu, he understood the status and power of this Night Emperor Celestial Profound better than anyone.

A single Shen Family was nothing; even all the prominent families in the entire Jiangnan County combined couldn’t withstand a flick of his finger.

’What should I do?’

In a panic, Shenyuan Shan immediately summoned everyone in the household.

"Clear the banquet! Open the gates! All of you, go stand outside and wait! When that Sir arrives, no one is to show the slightest disrespect!"

The entire Shen Family lined up outside the main gate in the cold wind, waiting with fear and trepidation.

The eldest young lady, Shen Meng Jun, stood at the very back, holding Lingsu’s hand. "Cousin, is it really *the* Night Emperor who’s coming?"

Lingsu was speechless. "You seem happy about this?"

Shen Meng Jun’s eyes were shining. "But he’s my idol! The elder I admire most in the world!"

’E-Elder?’

Lingsu rubbed her head with a wry smile. "Who ever said our Sir was an elder? He’s quite young, you know."

Shen Meng Jun’s eyes sparkled. "How can that be? Isn’t he your commander, cousin? The one who defeated a hundred thousand Celestial Demons, like a War God descended to earth? He has to be a venerable senior."

Just as she was speaking, the Prince’s car arrived.

The Marquis, looking like a noble scion, stepped out and respectfully opened the back door.

At that moment, every member of the Shen Family held their breath, not daring to raise their heads.

Only Shen Meng Jun secretly peeked from her position at the back.

She saw a young figure emerge slowly from the car.

He was tall and slender, with eyes as deep as the sea, sword-like brows, and a piercing gaze. Though he wore only a simple white shirt and black trousers, he carried the aura of a sovereign looking down upon his realm.

Shen Meng Jun’s eyes instantly filled with stars. "Oh my god, he’s so handsome! Unbelievably handsome! That’s Night Emperor Celestial Profound?"
