Chapter 221 The Princess Arrives
"We are not good enough in cultivation, there is really no other way. We hope you can save the children of our clan for the sake of being the descendants of the same ancient times. From now on, the whole Long clan will follow your lead."
As Long Zungui spoke, he pretended to kneel down again, but he just couldn't kneel down.
Wang Nan roughly understood what he had heard. Long Zungui had not only come here to ask for his help, but also to find a backer for his people.
But think about it, even if Wang Nan can help this time, as long as the evil soul master is still there, the children in their family cannot be safe.
"Where were those children taken?"
"You agree?" Long Zungui asked in surprise.
"Let's talk about the specifics first, and we'll talk about other things later."
"This... is fine..." When Long Zungui saw that Wang Nan did not agree directly, his expression suddenly darkened, but he was worried about the children and did not waste time on this matter. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Dozens of footsteps were heard in perfect unison, and it was clear that it was a well-trained team. Soon, the footsteps came closer and closer, and Xu Jiujiu, dressed in a bright yellow palace dress, appeared at the door of Wang Nan's house.
The princess's trip was of course extraordinary, with all the necessary carriages and ceremonial guards. She attracted a lot of attention along the way, and many passers-by on the roadside leaned out to see where the princess was going with such a big entourage.
It was not until the team arrived at Wang Nan's house that Xu Jiujiu got off the carriage, walked up and knocked on the gate.
"Sorry, I'll take my leave of absence for so long."
Although she was a princess, Xu Jiujiu did not stay in the palace all year round. On the contrary, her many trips to the battlefield made her more heroic. However, perhaps because she was concerned about the war, her brows were always slightly furrowed.
"your Highness."
"I will never forget your life-saving grace two years ago. Just call me Jiujiu." Xu Jiujiu smiled, glanced at Long Zungui and the other man standing beside him, then turned his gaze back to Wang Nan, "I have also heard about the Long family's affairs. If you need help, I can send someone to help you."
"I don't want to trouble Your Highness Jiujiu." Wang Nan looked up at the door. Although there were many soldiers brought by Jiujiu to maintain order, many people still gathered. "Princess, please come inside and talk."
"No need." Xu Jiujiu shook his head gently. "I see you are busy, so I can't keep you too long. I came here to thank you for saving my life last time, and to invite you to the Xingluo Empire Worship Hall."
"I heard that you left Shrek Academy before, and I wanted to come find you at that time, but I didn't hear from you for a while. It was only just now that I received a report that you entered Xingluo City..."
Wang Nan listened quietly and understood where all those overt and covert looks came from when he returned home just now.
Xu Jiujiu was talking to Wang Nan with a smile on his face when an old man behind him suddenly stepped forward and whispered something in Xu Jiujiu's ear.
There was an imperceptible change across Xu Jiujiu's face. He looked at Wang Nan with slightly widened eyes, but suddenly, as if he thought of something, he quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
"Sorry, I was rude."
It is self-evident what the old man said that made Xu Jiujiu, the princess of the Xingluo Empire, apologize.
Titled Douluo, Xu Jiujiu didn't expect that Wang Nan had already broken through to the Titled Douluo level after not seeing him for two years. In the Douluo Continent, even if she was a princess, she had to show some respect to the Titled Douluo, not to mention looking at a Titled Douluo like she did just now.
"No problem." Wang Nan withdrew his gaze from the old man. Even if they were both Titled Douluo, ordinary spirit masters would not be able to easily see through his cultivation. It seemed that this man had the ability to detect spirit power fluctuations.
It wasn't just Xu Jiujiu, even Wang Nan himself was not used to the fact that he had become a Titled Douluo, let alone put on the airs of a Titled Douluo.
However, given his own personality, no matter what level of cultivation he has reached, it would be difficult for him to be as arrogant as other Titled Douluo.
The two brothers Long Zungui were already dumbfounded. The Long family had been declining year by year, so they were naturally respectful to a royal family member like Xu Jiujiu. They had never seen the princess take the initiative to apologize.
On the other side, although Wang Xing was also surprised, he quickly calmed down. This was not the only time that Wang Nan had surprised him since he was a child.
Xu Jiujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his mind racing. Ever since Wang Nan led Shrek Academy to win the championship in the Xingluo Empire Fighting Spirit Competition, many people have noticed him.
The reason they originally approached Wang Nan was because they saw his talent and his status as a Shrek Academy disciple, so they invited him to join the Worship Hall in advance. It was originally considered an investment and a gesture of goodwill, but they did not expect Wang Nan's cultivation to improve so quickly. He was already a Titled Douluo after not seeing him for two years.
Xu Jiujiu glanced around, his smile still on his face, and continued what he had just said, "According to convention, Titled Douluo who join the Temple of Worship will always be granted a title, and the Empire will not force you to do anything."
Wang Nan also understood that the spirit masters of the Worship Hall were different from the Protector of the Nation Douluo like Tiansha Douluo. The Protector of the Nation Douluo was completely loyal to the royal family, but the Worship Hall only did things for money and could even leave at any time.
"You have other things to do here, so you can take your time to think about it. It won't be too late to discuss it in detail after you're done."
Before Wang Nan could even speak, Xu Jiujiu helped him to shirk the responsibility. In fact, it was not just Wang Nan who needed to consider. Inviting a Soul Douluo and a Title Douluo were completely different. She also had to reconsider the conditions she had prepared in advance.
Speaking of other things, Long Zungui also looked at Wang Nan. The children of their clan were still in the hands of the evil soul master.
"Okay." Wang Nan nodded, "Then we'll talk about these things when I get back."
"Then I won't bother you any more."
The team disappeared quickly on the street, and along with them, several pairs of eyes that were secretly watching Wang Nan disappeared. Even the Soul Douluo next door was nowhere to be seen.
"Nan'er, you have already..."
Ever since Wang Nan helped him obtain the sixth spirit ring, Wang Xing knew that it was Wang Nan's turn to take charge of the family affairs, so he had not asked until now. Just now, Xu Jiujiu mentioned the matter of the title, and although he did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear.
"Well, I gained something from this retreat." Wang Nan nodded.
"Okay, okay." Wang Xing looked at Wang Nan for a long while, then patted his arm gently, "Go do what you want to do, and be careful."
"Good dad."
Wang Nan laughed and then turned around to look at Long Zungui and the other person.
The two of them regained some radiance on their faces. They had only come here to ask for help out of desperation, but they had not expected that Wang Nan in front of them would not only readily agree, but was also already a Titled Douluo, which immediately gave them confidence.
