Chapter 1915 “Nangong Zhun’s Will (1)”
“Milady,” then amid Bai Yan’s momentary daze of watching the two people leaving, a maid hurried over and spoke, “the palace’s people have come.”
“The palace?” Bai Yan’s curves her lips into a great smile, “Aside from Her Highness the Dowager and Nangong Zhun, the others can stay outside.”
Once they know that she’s back, it’s unavoidable those from the court would come seeking an audience. However, there’s only two who would be granted an audience. As for the rest? They could get lost for all she cares.
But obviously this time the demon queen was wrong in her guess. Aside from the mentioned two people she’s willing to meet, no one else came including the previous king. They’ve been firmly warned to stay away by Nangong Zhun who has become the new king.
Bac then when Bai Yan accepted the bullied young orphaned prince as her student, his life had gone through heaven and earth. No longer was he a disdained child, he was prized as the only connection to the great powers. On top of that, the previous king abducted the throne in haste and installed the boy as the new ruler!
But time wasn’t without its difficulties for Nangong Zhun. At the beginning he knew nothing, nor did he want to use the Lan House and others to his own benefit. Of course, Bai Zhanpeng of the Medicine Sect knew of the boy’s troubles and secretly moved things, but that didn’t change the efforts of the young lad who had no experience.
Fortunately, he survived the great difficulties and earned his own place in life…..

Front courtyard.
The afterglow of the sunset poured down and fell upon a young man who stood stoically along the leading path. He was accompanied by the dowager who was clearly younger and alive than a few years ago.
“Majesties, the lady wants to see both of you now.” The maid respectfully reports.
Nangong Zhun nodded to the young maid and took his grandmother’s arm to head inside. Immediately after they entered to the back area, they were welcoming with the sight of that dazzling female in the pavilion.
Just like in his memory, that reddish figure was a shining beam of hope, bringing warmth to his world at first glance. Even if Bai Yan never taught him anything but was his teacher only in name, she’s given him way more than he could ever ask for.
“Dowager, little Zhun, you’re here?!” Bai Yan stood up to welcome the two familiar faces where she fell into a momentary trance after seeing the old queen’s sleekish black hair.
It’s been a while since I met the dowager, but it appears she’s gotten younger looking like my grandmother here. They are probably using my Dan pills like instructed before.
Flushing red in the eyes due to the emotions running through his vein, Nangong Zhun was full of attachment towards this benefactor: “Shifu, I did not fail to live up to your hopes. Right now, the Liu Huo Kingdom has become the leader of the four kingdoms.”
Blinking after hearing those words, she promptly turned towards the youngster who has grown by leaps and bounds. He’s no longer a young kid, but a mature young man who’s quite handsome in his own right.
“Little Zhun, you’ve grown magnificently. Also, you do need to address me as so. I took you as my student because I fancied your talent, but I failed as your teacher since I couldn’t teach you anything over the years due all the circumstances.”
