As the thought crossed his mind, a wave of bitterness and unease washed over him.
"Governor, who exactly was that Daoist Nie we just met...?"
Even though the Celestial Book had already revealed Nie Xiangjun's identity, Chen Sheng had to feign complete ignorance.
"She is a truly formidable figure."
Nie Xuanfeng's expression grew solemn, his voice tinged with clear reverence.
"She is of the Nie Family's Direct Lineage, the biological younger sister of the current Patriarch. What's more, eighteen years ago, she entered a Daoist Sacred Land to pursue her cultivation..."
Nie Xiangjun's status in the Nie Family was far beyond what the likes of him, a scion from a branch family, could ever compare to.
Although she was slightly younger, he would never dare presume to be her elder.
Nie Xuanfeng also clarified the twofold purpose of Nie Xiangjun's visit.
First, to support Chen Sheng and intimidate the Vast Sea Sect.
And second, to genuinely assess him.
