Shen Yu remained silent for a long while before finally not asking the question.
What she wanted to ask was, if one day, Su Mu truly reached the final step, mastering the River of Ti and ruling everything, would Nannan be his only vulnerability?
That question, in fact, didn’t need to be asked, the answer was definitely yes.
The Empress once told her sothing that left a deep impression on her, which is—"When you stand at a certain height, you should not have any vulnerabilities or emotions."
This sentence, she herself took a long, long ti to understand...
Later, she seed to sowhat comprehend...
If you stand at a certain height, at a true pinnacle, your vulnerability becos the vulnerability of the entire Ten Thousand Realms. Your every move, any emotional fluctuation, becos a storm for the entire realms, and that’s a terrifying thing.
This is why Lady Houtu, who has been in charge of Reincarnation for so many years, has never shown any emotion, even though she favors Shen Cha, it’s the kind of favoritism within controllable limits. If anyone in the Reincarnation Realm makes a mistake, the Empress would punish them.
Shen Cha is an example, even if she is favored, if punishnt is due, the sa, she would cast her into Reincarnation.
But the one thing she couldn’t understand was why did the Empress get involved?
She knew very well, the war between Su Mu and those powerful beings, given the Empress’s personality, she shouldn’t have gotten involved.
Not only did she get involved, but she also stood completely on Su Mu’s side.
From the mont the Empress handed over the Reincarnation Ship to Su Mu, the Reincarnation Realm was entirely bound to Su Mu, because with the Reincarnation Ship, Su Mu could command the entire Reincarnation Realm, including herself.
Su Mu’s every move can now affect the entire Reincarnation Realm.
Her only worry was, she feared that Su Mu could not abandon all vulnerabilities, although it was their first eting, she had so understanding of the person Su Mu was.
Very calm, ancient and placid, giving off an unassailable, shrouded-in-mist feeling.
But she also saw Su Mu’s only vulnerability, which is his daughter....
If one day, the enemy used his daughter to threaten him, what would he do....
She dared not ask, no matter how Su Mu answered, she felt it wouldn’t be the best answer.
She didn’t want anything to happen to Nannan, nor did she want Su Mu to give up the entire Reincarnation Realm because of Nannan.....
So, this question should be left to ti to answer....
For now, the most important thing is to protect Nannan, to hide her well, not to let the enemies know of her existence, not to drag her into this chess ga.
Nannan’s safety, to so extent, affects the entire Ten Thousand Realms and the entire Reincarnation Realm.
At this thought, she clenched the Three-Child Heart Lock in her hand.... Once sothing happens to Nannan, she would go to any lengths to save her, seemingly not just for the safety of the Reincarnation Realm, but because she really worried about Nannan’s safety, not wanting her to co to harm....
She didn’t know why either, from the first glance at Nannan, she had liked her from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps because she looked so much like Shen Cha....
"If what?" Su Mu’s words pulled Shen Yu’s thoughts back to reality.
"Nothing." Shen Yu still didn’t voice the doubt in her heart.
....
Su Mu and Shen Yu spent the whole day playing with Nannan in the Ancient City.
"Papa, ti’s up, shall we go ho?" Nannan held Su Mu’s large hand, acting coy.
"Alright." Su Mu replied with a smile.
"I’ll see you out." Shen Yu said to the two, after spending a day together, Shen Yu’s attitude towards Su Mu had softened considerably.
"No need, we know the way out." Su Mu politely declined.
Because before leaving, he wanted to take Nannan to see Lady Houtu.
....
"Alright."
Shen Yu nodded slightly.
Right, she almost forgot, Su Mu had the Reincarnation Ship, allowing him to freely enter and exit the Reincarnation Realm without any hindrance.
Then, she bent slightly, smiling at Nannan, "Nannan, if you want to co play next ti, I’ll bring you out again."
"Okay!" Nannan nodded firmly.
.....
With a grand wave of his hand, Su Mu summoned the black ship, and the two sat on it, sailing along the small river in the Ancient City towards a certain direction.
"Aunt Yu, goodbye!"
Nannan stood at the stern of the ship, waving to Shen Yu on the shore.
Soon, as the black ship sailed, the surrounding scenery began to change, the voices around them gradually softened, slowly turning from noisy to quiet....
They sailed on the Black River, surrounded by darkness, and absolute silence.
"Papa, aren’t we going ho?" Nannan observed her surroundings, tilting her head to ask.
Nannan had a good habit of observing and morizing the road wherever she went.
"No, before we go ho, we’re going to et soone."
"Don’t be afraid, she’s Papa’s friend, a... good person."
For a mont, Su Mu didn’t know how to describe Lady Houtu to Nannan.
"Okay." Nannan nodded.
"She’s the highest-ranked person in the Ancient City, and also your Uncle Du and Aunt Yu’s superior." Su Mu briefly introduced Lady Houtu’s position.
Upon hearing her father’s words, Nannan’s expression also grew serious, she could sense that the person her father was taking her to et was surely soone very important.
....
Soon, a stone bridge appeared before their eyes.
On the stone bridge, a mist of primal chaos rose, within which stood a silhouette, only the outline could be seen, the face was unclear.
The black ship docked beneath the stone bridge, and Su Mu, holding Nannan’s hand, leaped onto the bridge.
Once on the bridge, the figure in the mist waved a jade hand, dispersing the fog, revealing the full appearance of the stone bridge.
Only then did Nannan see the important person her father had ntioned.
When Nannan’s gaze fell upon the woman in the mysterious robe, she was montarily stunned.
She was not astonished by the mysterious woman’s cultivation, because she could not see her cultivation level.
Instead, it was her appearance and aura.
Nannan had seen many beautiful won, like her fourth sister, like Aunt Yu, but this was the first ti she felt so different, indescribable... more than beauty, it should be said... powerful, ethereal, dreamy, noble....
For a mont, Nannan was stunned, and entranced.
A child’s emotions are incapable of being concealed; they’re all written on their face.
Moreover, when a child sees sothing beautiful, all those emotions are evident in their eyes.
When Lady Houtu’s gaze fell upon Nannan for just a mont, her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"What’s your na..." An ethereal voice lingered in Nannan’s ears, pulling her thoughts back to reality.
Nannan was startled, and timidly replied, "My na is Nannan..."
With those words, Lady Houtu’s gaze remained on Nannan, not shifting away, as if seeing sothing....
