Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2026: Chapter 2070: Assessment

The eight pairs of golden wings behind the noblewoman moved automatically without wind, and streaks of golden light began to flicker.

Her gaze suddenly turned cold, murderous intent swirling.

Xia Chaoge saw this and became anxious.

Could it be that her uncle-master is here looking for her?

"Mother, don’t make things difficult for them."

The noblewoman glanced at her and said, "So anxious, could it be you’re worried Jiang Fan is among them?"

Her gaze shifted, and a circle of golden flames appeared beneath her feet, burning upward and enveloping her whole body.

Once the flames dispersed.

The noblewoman had transformed into a woman in her twenties, dressed in a refreshing moon-white long dress, her demeanor serene, her appearance delicate.

The eight pairs of wings behind her vanished, the cultivation of the Great Angel completely withdrawn.

Two little angels appeared, floating up and down above her head.

In an instant, she changed from an Eight-winged Archangel to a Two Qi Angel Commander.

"I wonder what this Champion Marquis has that makes you so reluctant to part."

The noblewoman casually waved her hand, releasing Xia Chaoge’s restraints, and said:

"Now, I am your sister, Linglong."

"If you don’t want them to die, cooperate with me."

Xia Chaoge stared at her, her mother intended to assess uncle-master, killing him if she noticed any ill intent.

A thought flashed through her mind to secretly warn uncle-master.

But she extinguished that thought immediately.

Once her mother’s disguise was torn apart, uncle-master would be in danger.

She nodded lightly and reached out, "Give me back the Moon Realm, you slipped earlier."

Oh?

Linglong surprisedly took out the Moon Realm Fragment, quickly discerning the anomaly from the dialogue still wafting from it.

"This ’Take a Good Name’ is an alias, right? Do you need to label yourself before speaking?"

"No wonder they sensed you were in trouble, Mother was indeed careless."

"Alright, I’ll remember, I won’t make the same mistake next time."

She casually threw the Moon Realm Fragment back to Xia Chaoge.

Xia Chaoge caught it with two hands, joyfully showing her regained possession.

This was one of the few things uncle-master had given her, she would be very sad if she lost it.

Swish, swish, swish—

Shortly afterward.

Led by the Big Black Dog, Jiang Fan and five sages arrived.

Seeing Xia Chaoge unharmed, Jiang Fan finally relaxed his long-held worry, then warily looked at the young woman beside her.

She was neither pretty nor ugly, but had a very distinctive charm.

At first sight, she leaves a deep impression, hard to forget.

Discovering her cultivation was only that of a Two Qi Angel Commander, Jiang Fan glanced towards the Nine Nether Demon Venerable and the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable.

Both were employing their own methods to secretly probe this woman’s cultivation.

Moments later, they nodded successively, confirming she only had Two Qi Angel Commander cultivation.

Thus Jiang Fan eased slightly, but for safety’s sake, he still asked Xia Chaoge, "Chaoge, who is this?"

Xia Chaoge dared not show any hint of unusualness, saying, "It’s my sister, she’s here to take me back to the Northern Heavenly State."

Sister?

Jiang Fan was surprised.

Could it be Xia Chaoge wasn’t taken away forcibly, but left willingly?

Seeing Jiang Fan still doubtful, Xia Chaoge had no choice but to leap beside Jiang Fan, indicating she wasn’t being coerced.

And upon seeing Xia Chaoge coming and going freely, Jiang Fan fully relaxed.

The soft voice of the Nine Nether Demon Venerable carried a tint of dissatisfaction:

"Little girl, even if you leave, you should notify us, almost had the Central Earth Sages mobilize entirely for you."

Xia Chaoge looked at Jiang Fan in front of her, eyes filled with joy.

The sages of Central Earth wouldn’t stir for her, it was uncle-master who invited them to act.

"Uncle-master cares for me this much!"

Xia Chaoge’s heart felt sweet, but thinking she would soon be taken back to the Northern Heavenly State, she grew increasingly reluctant.

She turned to her mother, hesitantly, "Uncle-master, let me introduce my... sister Linglong."

Linglong instantaneously moved beside Xia Chaoge, closely gazing at Jiang Fan.

Amidst a subtle fragrance, her probing eyes cut like knives deeply into Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan wondered internally, the Two Qi Angel Commander before him leaving a marked impression.

Like a crowd in the fog, everyone’s form was notably vague, except the woman named Linglong before him, she was extraordinarily clear.

However, with two Two Calamities Realm investigations and Chaoge’s evidence, Jiang Fan temporarily shelved his temptations.

With hands respectfully raised, he chuckled, "So it’s Chaoge’s sister, I’m Jiang Fan, her uncle-master."

"Fairy Linglong, could you allow her to continue staying in the Southern Heavenly Realm? I surely won’t mistreat her."

Linglong crossed her arms behind her back, smiling faintly, "It’s not me taking her, it’s her wish to return with me."

Chaoge wants to leave?

Jiang Fan looked into Xia Chaoge’s eyes, where she dared not reveal she was coerced.

She presented an apologetic expression, "Uncle-master, I’ve disturbed you for a long while, I think I should return to the Northern Heavenly State."

Hearing the answer directly from Xia Chaoge’s mouth, Jiang Fan felt an inexplicable pang of pain in his heart.

It’s Xia Chaoge’s own wish to leave.

Was it because he wasn’t good to her, lacked care?

Reflecting on his relationship with Xia Chaoge, after departing the Continent, they rarely had exchanges, it was always Xia Chaoge considering him, repeatedly giving him what he needed.

Yet he didn’t even know Xia Chaoge was an angel, never concerned for her.

Now, Xia Chaoge is leaving, aside from the Void Feather Robe, he had nothing Xia Chaoge needed to offer.

Watching Jiang Fan’s eyes subtly shimmer with sadness, Xia Chaoge’s heart trembled slightly.

She made uncle-master sad.

But she couldn’t show reluctance, otherwise, her mother might genuinely kill uncle-master.

She tugged Fairy Linglong’s arm, "Sister, let’s go."

Linglong surveyed Jiang Fan, internally remarking:

"After all, he is a man capable of becoming Champion Marquis, indeed extraordinary. If I perceived correctly, his Divine Ring seems unique?"

"Moreover, he exudes numerous Hell Realm Device auras."

"A man both powerful externally and internally."

"I can understand my daughter’s affection for him."

"Given he only regards Chaoge as a niece out of bounds, I’ll spare him."

"No need to jeopardize the mother-daughter bond over a stranger."

She nodded gently, saying, "Jiang Dao You, we bid farewell."

She took Xia Chaoge’s arm, ready to teleport away.

"Wait!" Jiang Fan called to stop them.

Hmm?

Linglong turned back, her gaze intensified slightly, "Young Master Jiang, don’t want to let Chaoge go?"

Jiang Fan suppressed his reluctance, saying, "Since it’s Chaoge’s own wish to leave, I certainly won’t stop her."

"Just before she departs, please allow me to prepare a farewell gift for Chaoge."

Gift?

Linglong waved her hand dismissively, "No need."

Xia Chaoge, however, was tempted, uncle-master wanted to give her a gift?

And since it involves preparing a gift, it could delay the Northern Heavenly State’s invasion, offering a chance to leave uncle-master a warning for them to prepare.

"Sister, I want to receive uncle-master’s gift before leaving."
