Chapter 209 Could He Be a Time Traveler?
Ye Sinan nodded slightly and motioned for them to stand up.
"Elder Nan, I hope you can forgive me for coming here rashly."
The old man said respectfully: "Palace Master, you are joking. We are looking forward to your arrival all the time."
Ye Sinan knew that they were not looking forward to him, but the person standing next to him.
He introduced them: "This is the new head of the Nangong family, Nangong Jiayao."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately looked towards Yao Jia. When he saw Yao Jia's familiar eyes and brows, he immediately burst into tears.
Previously, a disciple came to report that Palace Master Ye was playing in the hot spring with a woman. He just thought that Palace Master Ye was just young and couldn't stand the loneliness.
Who could have imagined that this woman was the head of the family they had been waiting for for nearly sixty years.
He excitedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Yao Jia, choking with sobs, "Nan Zhui has finally waited for the return of the Patriarch in his lifetime. Welcome the Patriarch!"
Seeing this, the other Nangong family's secret disciples also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the head of the family!"
Yao Jia was somewhat bewildered by this scene. Although she knew about the existence of the Nangong family's secret system, she had never had any contact with them.
He hurriedly helped the old man who was kneeling in front of him up, "Get up quickly, everyone get up quickly, get up quickly."
Nan Zhui stood up, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Yao Jia excitedly.
When the others saw him stand up, they also stood up.
"Master, Nan Zhui finally got you back."
Yao Jia looked at the old man's aged face and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
He knew that these people were the dark forces guarding the Nangong family, but he never thought that they would be looking forward to his arrival so much.
It was all her own fault that she didn't learn her skills well enough and didn't inherit the position of Pavilion Master at the age of sixteen like her mother.
He bowed deeply to Nan Zhui and said, "Elder Nan, I am late."
Nan Zhui lifted Yao Jia up with both hands, his eyes full of tenderness and relief, "The master of the family can return while I am still alive, which is worth my sixty years of waiting."
Yao Jia: ...? ...
What does that mean? Sixty years of waiting. Does that mean her mother and grandfather never set foot here when they were alive?
Nan Zhui saw Yao Jia's confusion and explained, "The head of the family doesn't know that the Nangong family can only follow one head of the family throughout their lives. The two previous heads of the family never entered the Butterfly Valley for the sake of their descendants."
Yao Jia nodded in understanding. So that's how it is.
Since the curse on the Nangong family three hundred years ago, all subsequent heads of the family have died young.
Grandfather wanted these dark elements to work for mother, while mother wanted them to follow her.
The love of the parents is far-reaching.
Yao Jia instantly burst into tears.
Ye Sinan looked at Yao Jia's red eyes, his heart softened. He raised his hand, held her in his arms, and whispered a few words of comfort.
He turned back to Nan Zhui and said, "Elder Nan, please take Yaoyao to Qianku Cave."
Nan Zhui smiled and nodded, "Master, please come this way."
A group of people followed Nan Zhui and walked deeper into the cave.
The Butterfly Valley has picturesque scenery, with flowing water, shady trees and fragrant flowers.
The buildings in the valley are simple and elegant, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, like a fairyland on earth.
Along the way, Yaojia asked Nanzhui many questions.
How do people here eat, wear, and use things? How do they intermarry?
Nan Zhui answered them one by one.
Only then did Yao Jia realize that Butterfly Valley had its own ecological environment and was completely self-sufficient.
As for intermarriage, most of the people here are orphans picked up from outside. If they find their soulmate in the valley when they reach a certain age, they can get married. If they cannot find their soulmate, they can leave the valley. However, once they leave, they cannot come back.
Yao Jia suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked, "Since he is an orphan, do all the people in the valley have the surname Nan? Have you heard of this person named Nanshan, elder?"
Nan Zhui shook his head. “In the valley, only the direct and secret descendants of the Nangong family are qualified to have the surname Nan. The person the patriarch is talking about probably just has the same surname as us.”
Ye Sinan knew that Yao Jia thought Nan Shan was the one who left from here, so he asked Nan Zhui like this and gently pulled Yao Jia's hand.
"The Nanshan you mentioned did not leave the valley at all, but as we have investigated, there is no such person in his life."
Yao Jia was speechless, thinking to herself, could it be that Nanshan was someone who really appeared out of nowhere?
Then he remembered that he had read in the Nangong family's classics that there seemed to be a kind of people who could come from different time and space. These people were collectively called time travelers.
There are two types of crossing: soul crossing and body crossing.
One of his ancestors was a soul traveler and made great contributions to Daxia.
Nanshan has no life story, so he might be a time traveler, which is why the emperor looks at him differently.
While they were thinking, Nan Zhui had already brought them to a cave.
There are many mechanisms at the entrance of the cave. Unless you are familiar with the art of mechanisms, it is impossible to enter.
Nan Zhui walked to the mechanism and pressed a few buttons skillfully. After a slight sound, the stone wall at the entrance of the cave slowly moved away, revealing a deep passage.
"Master, inside is the Nangong family treasure that has been guarded by the Dark System for generations."
Yao Jia looked at the cave in front of her, her heart full of curiosity, wondering what a great treasure this must be that it required such a strict mechanism to protect it.
Ye Sinan reached out and held her hand, then walked into the cave with her side by side.
The cave was dark and quiet, with only the faint light of a candle coming from afar.
The group followed Nan Zhui and walked deeper and deeper inside. On the surrounding rock walls were carved many portraits of the Nangong family's successive patriarchs.
Ye Sinan looked at it curiously and found that the portrait of one of the family heads was somewhat similar to Yao Jia today. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Yao Jia noticed his gaze and also saw the portrait. When she saw the signature next to the portrait, "Nangong Changnian", she frowned instantly.
"Why is her portrait here too?"
As far as Yao Jia could remember, Nangong Changnian's name was not on the list of all the previous Pavilion Masters.
When Nanshan heard Yaojia's doubts, he stopped, turned around and looked at the portrait on the stone wall, his eyes full of respect.
"The Patriarch may not know that although Patriarch Chang Nian did not inherit the Tianxing Pavilion, he made great contributions to the Nangong Family."
Yao Jia was stunned when she heard this, "What contribution?"
Nan Zhui walked to the portrait, pointed at the inscription on it, and said slowly: "It was Patriarch Chang Nian who founded the Nangong family's dark system to protect the Nangong family's treasures."
Yao Jia: …………
He looked up at Nan Zhui and asked, "What exactly is the treasure?"
Nan Zhui showed a mysterious smile on his face.
"Master, please be patient, we will be there soon."
As he spoke, he continued walking forward, and soon he arrived in front of a huge stone gate.
There is a palm-sized groove in the center of the stone gate.
Nanshan turned around and smiled at Yao Jia: "Master, inside is the treasure guarded by my dark clan. Only the orthodox bloodline of the Nangong family can open this door."
Yao Jia became even more curious about what this treasure was, so she walked to the huge stone door and placed her palm in the palm groove on the stone door.
I suddenly felt a warm sensation in my palm, as if an electric current was running through it.
Yao Jia was startled and wanted to retract her hand, but found that her palm seemed to be sucked onto the stone door and could not move.
Seeing this, Ye Sinan immediately stepped forward and held her hand, trying to pull her back.
However, as soon as his hand touched Yao Jia's hand, he was bounced away by a powerful force.
"Ye Sinan!" Yao Jia exclaimed and tried to break free, but found that her own strength was so insignificant in front of this power.
After being bounced away, Ye Sinan immediately stood firm, looked at Yao Jia anxiously and said, "Yaoyao, don't panic, I will find a way to save you right away."
A dazzling light suddenly appeared in the groove on the stone door, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.
Yao Jia only felt that her body was being sucked by a powerful force, and she flew into the stone gate uncontrollably.
"Ye Sinan——" she screamed in horror.
I wanted to grab his hand, but I could only watch my hand slip from his grasp.
Ye Sinan watched Yao Jia disappear behind the stone gate, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand, drew out the soft sword from his waist, and slashed hard at the stone gate.
There was a loud "bang", but the stone door was intact.
Ye Sinan didn't believe it and chopped the stone gate several times in succession, but it remained motionless.
Nan Zhui saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Palace Master Ye, no!"
Ye Sinan stopped and looked at him coldly, "The treasure you are guarding is to trap Yaoyao here? If anything happens to her, I will make sure that no one will be left alive!"
Nan Zhui said with a smile: "Palace Master has misunderstood. How dare we harm the head of the family? Shimen is just testing whether she is really the person we are waiting for."
Ye Sinan was furious, "What do you mean? Are you doubting that the person I brought is fake?"
