If Tong Bao Zhai really withdrew all their shops from Ling Empire, Ling Empire would be in a complete mess.

"Why did they do that?" Ling Emperor was feeling confused. Why did those people join in the fun? Shouldn't everything be fine if they just remained as they were?

"I was told that the wife of Xiao Empire's Great General is the owner of Tong Bao Zhai. Young Master Yue and the others had caused her to be injured, and she's still currently unconscious," Those were news that was just freshly received.

Ling Emperor's expression changed drastically. He had previously heard Nangong Che mention that Ning Meng Yao might be related to Nangong Yan. As such, he had instructed them to bring her back while disregarding the cost. In the end, something like this happened. No news about their status had been sent back in time and he was now told they had offended the owner of Tong Bao Zhai and even harmed their people. It was simply the same as having a nightmare.

"I recall that the eldest daughter of Mei Family makes the decision of Tong Bao Zhai, immediately invite her over to meet me," Ling Emperor suddenly thought of Mei Ruo Lin from the Mei Family.

However, that person laughed bitterly: "After this incident, she had already spread the news that unless Ning Meng Yao is given an explanation, nothing can be done, even if it were the head of Mei Family."

"This"

The Ling Emperor was really having a headache now. Why did he have to be dragged into this mess.

However, he did not wish to compromise so simply. Could it be that Ling Empire would be ruined in his hands?

If there were problems in Ling Empire's economy, the commoners would openly voice their discontent. At that time, even if Xiao Empire did not attack, Ling Empire would inevitably be in chaos.

Ling Emperor gritted his teeth: "Send people on a diplomatic errand to handle this matter. Go find the Regent as well, it's best if he steps out."

The person rolled his eyes speechlessly. Who didn't know about the Regent, Nangong Yan, who was not in Ling Empire all year round and never interested in dealing with Ling Empire's issues? To have the Regent take action? It would be very difficult.

"Tell him that Ning Meng Yao might be his daughter. He'll definitely go," Ling Emperor directly said after he narrowed his eyes in thought.

The person frowned, he wanted to advise but did not know how to.

"Your majesty, this matter"

"Isn't it what he's been searching for after so long? Provide him this news and he will go," The Ling Emperor said without much care. As to what would happen when the time comes, he did not believe Nangong Yan would completely ignore Ling Empire.

However, Ling Emperor had ignored a key point, they had injured Ning Meng Yao, if the Regent found out about it, how would he react?

"Yes," After knowing he was unable to advise the Ling Emperor, the person could only helplessly bring the imperial edict to the Regent's Residence.

The Regent was not around when he arrived at the Regent's Residence. He could only announce the imperial edict to a servant.

Nangong Qi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person reading the imperial edict, that person seemed to make his blood run cold. He had just left without waiting for him to respond.

Seeing that person leave, Nangong Qi turned around and returned to the inner courtyard, he wrote a letter and passed the message to the Regent who was away.

Two days later, Nangong Yan who was dressed in black received the servant's message.

After reading the contents, Nangong Yan's eyes flashed with brutality and bloodthirstiness. Trying to make use of him? That would depend on whether he was willing to be made use of.

He had already investigated Ning Meng Yao's incident. She had been injured by the Gu worms of the useless fool by Nangong Che's side. She was still unconscious right now, yet instead of worrying whether he would still help them, they told him that Ning Meng Yao might possibly be his daughter.

Could it be that the Ling Emperor does not know that he, Nangong Yan, was someone who shields those he cared about? Especially if the person was someone he had been looking for a long time.

"Regent?"

"We will go back now."

One day later, the Regent, Nangong Yan, returned to his Royal Residence while covered in dust. The Ling Emperor let out a complacent laughter after receiving the news, but he was unable to laugh soon after. It was because Nangong Yan had only brought his own men along and ignored the men he arranged and directly left for Xiao Empire.

The Ling Emperor had an ugly expression towards that matter, he was even enraged.

Nangong Yan hurriedly rushed towards Xiao Empire, and the news of his arrival quickly arrived at Xiao Empire.

Xiao Qi Feng frowned deeply after obtaining the news.

"Tian Chang, what do you think is the reason the Ling Emperor sent Nangong Yan?"
