Qian Duoduo's words were roared.
Nangong An raised his hand and froze.
'His Direct Lineage status was restored?'
'Impossible!'
Everyone in the Imperial City knew Qian Duoduo's talent had vanished. The Qian Family had stripped him of his Direct Lineage status long ago. How could it suddenly be restored?
But if it hadn't been, how could he explain the several thousand Void Realm experts he had summoned?
"Old coot, I'll stand right here and won't move an inch. Go on, try and hit me. Don't make me lose all respect for you!"
Being called "old coot" repeatedly by Qian Duoduo made Nangong An so furious he wanted to slap the boy dead.
But reason kept reminding him: he absolutely could not make a move.
If Qian Duoduo hadn't regained his Direct Lineage status, even as Qian Juduo's son, it would be no big deal for a Grand Elder like Nangong An to strike him.
But times had changed. The Direct Lineage represented the future and face of every family.
