Chapter 25

She only wanted one small opportunity.

She had tried too many places, and what she got in return was mockery, disgust, and even beatings and humiliation.

She had never given up.

"Little beggar, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear?"

"Are you looking for death?"

"What are you all doing?" Jiang Nan walked over.

"Senior Brother." Several outer sect disciples saw Jiang Nan and hurriedly bowed in salute.

The disciples guarding the mountain gate were also outer sect disciples; if they didn't improve in a few years, they would be kicked down the mountain.

Their status was far from that of inner sect disciples.

Under normal circumstances, no one dared to forcibly break into the mountain gate of a regional hegemon's cave heaven, and the few outer sect disciples guarding the gate were enough.

If someone was truly confident enough to break through the formation, the inner sect disciples watching wouldn't be able to do anything either.

"Girl, come with me." Jiang Nan said.

The few people didn't dare to stop him anymore.

They recognized Jiang Nan; he used to be an outer sect disciple just like them, only Jiang Nan was in the spiritual herb garden.

Now that he was an inner sect disciple, he could bring a servant.

"Pfft, what's so great about him? He just got lucky and entered the inner sect." After the two walked away, a mountain gate disciple snorted.

"Keep your voice down. The status of an inner sect disciple is far different from ours; even if he killed us, we would have died in vain." Someone said, feeling envious.

They also longed to be like Jiang Nan and enter the inner sect.

But in reality, those who hadn't entered the inner sect in a year or two usually had no chance.

They had all entered during their youth, and now they were all adults; the chances were slim.

Jiang Nan was the same; they didn't know how he got lucky enough to enter, and they were all very envious.

"Girl, are you..." Jiang Nan looked at this girl.

Was this the Empress as a child?

Many places were very similar, but there were also places that weren't.

Or perhaps there was very little information about the Empress's growth period, and some things weren't known.

"Do you have a name?"

The girl's large eyes were like black gemstones, just looking at Jiang Nan.

As if to see if this person was good or bad, or what.

But this was also an opportunity, the only opportunity, although she had been deceived countless times by similar ones before, it was still an opportunity.

She didn't want to let it go.

"None?" Jiang Nan smiled.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions."

"Little Nannan?" Jiang Nan said suddenly while walking, looking into the girl's eyes.

What made him feel strange was that the girl didn't have any reaction.

Was it not her? Or had her state of mind been trained to be so firm that it wasn't affected by external objects?

Jiang Nan felt it was truly the latter.

What had she experienced?

"It seems I can't call you Little Nannan anymore." The girl had already grown up a lot.

She was just very thin, appearing a bit small.

Her back was also exceptionally thin.

In fact, she was already quite tall.

If it was the Empress, had she not started cultivating yet at this time?

No wonder she was called the most talented woman in history.

Among all the Emperors and Supremes throughout history, she was the only one who achieved it with a mortal body.

Peerless demeanor, peerless elegance.

Jiang Nan looked at the girl, and the girl was also looking at him, guarding against him, never hiding it.

She had no strength, and some thoughts couldn't be hidden, so she simply didn't hide them.

Seeing Jiang Nan looking at her body, the girl's expression changed slightly for the first time, and she frowned slightly.

As if to say, he wouldn't be a weird uncle, would he?

"What uncle? I'm at most a brother." Jiang Nan blinked.

Cold light appeared in the girl's eyes, and she actually exploded with killing intent.

She only had one brother; no one else was worthy.

She had once been a kind little girl, willing to treat everyone politely.

Over these years of wandering the Jianghu, her heart had long since gone cold countless times.

"Understood." Jiang Nan nodded; it was nine out of ten that she was truly the Empress as a child.

What she cared about most was her brother.

Not to become an immortal, but just to wait for you to return in the red dust.

Defying the heavens to live one life after another.

It was just for the happiest time in her childhood, in the small mountain village, relying on each other with her brother.

Hoping it could be reproduced.

It was just the simplest expectation.

During his free time these days, Jiang Nan had also read some basic information about the sect.

Nanling, a remote corner, seemed to indeed be in the direction of the Empress's suspected birthplace.

Of course, it was only suspected; it was too long ago, and he didn't remember much, so he couldn't judge anything.

"You're really not Little Nannan anymore, you've grown up a lot. How about Big Nannan?"

"Cough, is it not funny?" ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
