Chapter 553: Too Perfect

peror's body continues to weaken gradually and there's no way to reverse it.With a sigh, Lian Yi said after hearing the full diagnosis from the head physician:"Everything is in the emperor's hands. We...Connor Rodman was looking at the message in his hand. It was a record of Nana's life, sent by a clansman specializing in intelligence gathering.

The parchment detailed Nana's entire history. Born into a small family, she possessed talent for cultivation. However, her family fell on hard times. To support herself, she formed hunting parties to slay monsters even as a minor, earning resources for her cultivation and gradually progressing towards becoming a knight. She was only a year younger than Emilio.

After becoming an adult and obtaining her contract phantom beast, Nana formed her own squad and became active in the western continent. She saved people and also killed those who coveted their squad. She does things with her own principles and bottom line, so she is considered a fairly well-regarded task squad.

I met Emilio because he escaped the guards Connor arranged and went to the Beast Cave alone, wanting to hunt a high-level monster to show off. As a result, his abilities were insufficient, he killed a small monster, and attracted an old monster.

He was all alone, with no guards or attendants to help him. As a result, he was chased by high-level monsters. Even when he released his Earth Ox Beast, it was overpowered by the high-level monsters and directly beaten back into its contract mark. Just as he was about to be devoured by the monster, Nana descended from the sky and saved Emilio.

NANA's fantasy beast is a white flying tiger, a little proud but the master of the sky. It's also half of NANA's combat power. The duo saved Emilio and even killed a high-level lightning eagle.

From then on, Emilio fell head over heels for the strong, beautiful, and intelligent Nana, and immediately began to pursue her.

At that time, Nana didn't have a good impression of Emilio. She thought he was weak and foolish for entering the Beast Lair alone. She figured someone like that must be lonely and had bad social skills. Besides, he wasn't very strong and lacked self-awareness, daring to venture into the Beast Lair on his own. She thought he was probably not very bright either, so she simply ignored him.

This instead aroused Emilio's desire for conquest. He used the influence of the Rodman family to create many coincidental encounters, gradually approaching Nana. He used the excuse of repayment, and Nana was not strong enough to refuse, so the two slowly started dating.

When Nana learned that Emilio was the eldest son of the Rhodemans, she immediately led her team away from their usual base and went to the other side of the Beast Lair, avoiding Emilio.

Nana's teammates chimed in and said:

“You saved the young master of the Rhodemans, and he has a good impression of you. If you marry into the Rhodeman family, you wouldn't have to work so hard hunting monsters anymore, wouldn't that be great Why are you deliberately avoiding him”

"He's just one of the many people I've saved. Just because he's high-ranking, should I treat him differently Besides, there are more conflicts within noble families themselves. As a knight with no background and ordinary status, I don't want to get involved. Who knows how I'd die if I did."

Nana shook her head, clearly unwilling to have any further interaction with Emilio.

"That young master Emilio has been by your side this whole time. You can tell he truly likes you. As long as he likes you, he'll naturally be able to protect you. There's no need for you to be so pessimistic."

Another teammate said.

“Not necessarily! I heard that the Rhodenman family has another young master, Lian. He is very favored by the head of the Rhodenman family. In the past two years, Young Master Lian discovered the threat of phantom beasts and decisively took action to cut off a passage built by foreign invaders. In terms of reputation and ability, he surpasses Emilio.”

The future homeowner will definitely be Lian, so this young master is in an awkward position. He can't even secure his own status, how could he possibly protect me

Members of the family are the most adept at watching under-the-table dealings. A powerless young master naturally wouldn't be taken seriously. I have no powerful connections to back him up, so it's best we go our separate ways!

Nana's words reveal both regret for Emilio and dejection over her own weakness.

But these words happened to be heard by Emilio, who had just arrived. While he was angry about his situation, he also felt Nana's honesty and straightforwardness. It was unlike those girls who only fawned over him, so he became even more determined and began to pursue her more aggressively.

In the end, his sincerity touched Nana, causing her to relent and agree to date him for a while. If it didn't work out, they wouldn't pressure each other any further.

As the two spent more time together, Emilio grew increasingly fond of Nana. He felt that Nana was like the missing rib he had lost, perfectly fitting with him. As a result, he told her everything and generously shared his resources to help her improve her knight level.

This included Raul's investment in Breakthrough Pharmaceuticals, allowing Nana, who had been stuck as a Silver Knight, to break through to Gold Knight. She became closer to Emilio, and the two quickly fell into a sweet romance, inseparable and openly affectionate.

At the bottom of the parchment, there are annotations from the intelligence gatherers, stating that this Nana is too perfect for Emilio. She seems tailor-made as a lover for the young master, too unreal. They hope the head of the house will treat this with caution.

Connor's purple eyes flashed after he finished reading, he let out a cold snort and cursed, "Fool," then said to the guard captain beside him:

"In the future, the resources provided for Young Master's cultivation will gradually decrease, and his access to certain places will be restricted. Especially when he invited that Nana home, she could only go to Emilio's own residence, and was not allowed to step into any other places."

Yes, Master!

The captain of the guard respectfully bowed, his expression unchanged.

Is there anything else

Connor asked in a low voice.

"I just received a message from Young Master Lian. He followed the White family's trading caravan directly to the Eastern Continent and even unexpectedly caught the invaders lurking there."

The young master was capable, he caught eight of them in one breath, all alive, and sent them to the mages' association on the Eastern Continent. The association is currently studying these invaders and has given the young master quite a few rewards.

The guard said with pride,

Upon hearing the guard's words, Connor's face immediately softened, and he smiled faintly:

It certainly wasn't the work of one person. His companions, as well as the people from the White family, must have all helped too.

"The young master must have also put in effort, otherwise it wouldn't be spread like this! The young master is quite famous in the Eastern Continent."

He had said before that his harvest in the Silver Wheat City was plentiful, and this trip to the Eastern Continent was also for training. He would return before he turned eighteen, and it wouldn't be long.

"That's what the old master taught me, but should I let Lian know that young master is in the Eastern Continent"

The guard whispered.

"No! Lian can go if she wants to, and not go if she doesn't want to. There's no need to tell Lian's family."

When it came to the Lian family, Kona's expression lost a couple of degrees of indifference.

While the ripples that Konner had been thinking of had already reached the city where Lian resided, Ripples went to visit Lian with Lala.

When Lian Jia's gatekeeper saw the ripples, he was surprised. After Ripples introduced herself, he immediately informed the head of the family and then respectfully invited Ripples into the mansion.bers of the family lived together, and there was no division of households. Only after marriage, the household registrations of Yu Meifeng and Li Juan were transferred to the Song family's large house...
