Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 5: Gratitude, Life, and Bottom Line
"I'm going to call the police!"

Call the police!

Call the police!

Yan Huan's powerful voice still echoed in the Guan family compound.

Deng Youfu's face darkened and he straightened his glasses. "What do you think of our Ma Xian lineage?"

"Hehe." Yan Huan smiled helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Brother Youfu, a senior like my aunt who is so hidden, once he gets serious, the pressure is too great. I'm so scared that I always want to give myself a bottom line."

"I'm alone in a foreign country, and there aren't many people I can trust. At least the country and the organization won't cheat me."

Guan Shihua sat up straight in the armchair and began to look at the young man wearing a loose military coat.

Yan Huan's face was calm, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was neither trembling nor shaking. He did not look afraid at all.

After a moment's silence, the little old lady grabbed a handful of peanuts and started peeling them.

"My dear Yan, you followed your parents north when you were young, so you probably don't have much affection for the Sichuan Liangshan lineage. It's really difficult to be alone out there. Do you want to consider joining my Ma Xian lineage?"

After these words were spoken, all the disciples of Ma Xian who were still qualified to stay in the main hall were stunned.

Guan Shihua raised his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm.

Seeing Yan Huan looking embarrassed and hesitant, she began to clarify the pros and cons and patiently persuade her.

"The Northeastern Maxian lineage is now a big family. In addition to Hu, Huang, Chang and Mang, there are also people with the same surname. My last name is Guan, too. You don't have to worry about being ignored or treated unfairly."

"With the support of the Ma Xian family, as long as you do not violate the laws of nature and human ethics, you can even walk around the Northeast without restraint. Isn't this much better than guarding that poor little house?"

"My aunt is right." Yan Huan could not deny this.

Before coming here, he did consider the possibility of the Ma Xian family trying to win him over. As long as he nodded now, he would undoubtedly have a huge backer, and there would be no need to hide anything in the future, whether he was practicing or collecting elves.

"Thank you for your kindness, my aunt. But please refuse it, my young master." Yan Huan refused firmly.

Some six-year-old children understand the truth, so there is no reason for him who has lived a second life not to understand it. There is no free lunch in this world, and the pie that falls from the sky is most likely poisonous. The most deadly thing in this world is those unclear human relationships.

Especially after embarking on the path of Qi refining and cultivation, Yan Huan became extremely cautious towards cause and effect. This thing is extremely mysterious and it is easy to suffer eternal damnation if one touches it lightly.

Being involved with the Ma Xian lineage, he is destined to be caught in the vortex of the struggle between the Feng and Wang families in the future.

Wang Ai from the Wang family is ruthless and cruel to the extreme, while Feng Zhenghao from the Tianxia Group is patient and tough, and has a meticulous mind. He can be described as a great hero. Neither of these two Yan Huans wants to provoke each other.

Apart from this, there was another biggest factor that forced Yan Huan to refuse.

Yan Huan was scared.

Yan Huan was afraid that Guan Shihua would think too much about the turmoil in Changbai Mountain, and even try to pin the revival of the Northeastern Ma Xian family on him, an outsider.

The weight of that hope was too heavy, so heavy that Yan Huan was simply unable to bear it.

"Auntie, I'm sorry!"

Guan Shihua closed her eyes and chewed the peanut in her mouth with difficulty.

On someone else's territory, you ruthlessly rejected the invitation of the representative of the Ma Xian lineage and one of the ten great men in the alien world?

There wasn't even a hint of negotiation.

This boy is full of courage!
Crunch, crunch...

The only sound left in the Guan family's main room was the sound of peanuts being chewed. The subtler and smaller the sound, the more uneasy Yan Huan felt.

He stepped forward and bowed, "Auntie, if you have something to say, just let me know. If you need help from a junior, just let me know. Beating around the bush is not like you at all!"

Guan Shihua stopped talking and opened her slightly narrowed eyes.

"Okay, okay, okay! You are alone, but you dare to put yourself and the entire Northeast Ma Xian family on the same scale. You have some courage. Today, I, an old woman, beg you."

"The spirits near Changbai Mountain are in turmoil. In the past few years, more and more children have been haunted by the immortals. We cannot decide their future for them, nor can we influence the thoughts of the immortals."

"So, my friend, no matter what you took from Changbai Mountain, please put an end to this matter. We can't suppress the spiritual vein anymore."

Guan Shihua straightened his posture, knelt on the armchair, and bowed to Yan Huan in the hall.

Deng Youfu and other disciples of Ma Xian closed their eyes, said nothing, and bent down silently.

It turned out to be the case.

Yan Huan thought that the Changbai Spiritual Vein was closely connected with Ma Xianer's family, and there were even elders in the mountain who they worshipped as family gods. From an emotional point of view, they did not handle this matter properly.

When it comes to the matter of "elves", Ma Xian'er's lineage is the most powerful and authoritative. If they ask outsiders with some strength for help, it would be embarrassing, both in terms of reputation and money. So they can only ask themselves, a hermit without any sect or school.

"You guys..." But this scene made Yan Huan a little at a loss. "Auntie, I've already told you to let me know if there's anything wrong. Isn't this shortening my life?"

Yan Huan quickly stepped forward and respectfully helped Guan Shihua up.

"It's just the spirits near the Changbai Mountain spiritual vein. If the Ma Xian family has any concerns, I can go there. Your gift is too big, and I really can't afford it."

"Will you help?"

"Help, of course! Just because of what I said, we will do our best. No matter what, I have to live up to this military coat!"

Yan Huan smiled and agreed to the matter.

As long as she doesn't covet her own sister Qingming and doesn't try to pull him into Ma Xian's family, he is willing to help with this little favor.

"Look, when should we start? Or now? Uncle Si Xi's Subaru is still outside, running in the snow, very neat!"

"Xiao Si, I have something else to ask you. Please go with Youcai."

“Okay!” Yan Huan responded, and the rat-like face of Deng Youcai appeared in his mind. This kid is Deng Youfu’s younger brother, and the immortal he worships is the Hui family.

"Aunt, wait for my good news. I'll take my leave now." After paying his respects, Yan Huan jumped out of the Guan family compound in two steps.

Only Xia Guan Shihua, Deng Youfu and a group of younger people were left in the main hall.

"Blessed, what do you think of this man?"

"I can't get along with people who are slick and cynical," Deng Youfu said bluntly.

“I think he’s quite courageous.”

Courage?

Guan Shihua peeled the peanuts and took big bites. "If he accepted the invitation from my Ma Xian family, I would treat him as a distinguished guest, but from the bottom of my heart, I wouldn't cherish this kid as much as I do now."

"Why?" Deng Youfu asked puzzled.

Guan Shihua patted the Eight Immortals Square Table, "You, stupid!"

"If that guy had accepted the invitation from my Ma Xian family, then his helping me would be an exchange of benefits, but in the end, he refused. After turning me down, he agreed to the Changbai Mountain matter. From this perspective, it is our Ma Xian family that owes him a favor."

"A teenager who has not experienced much in the world dares to suppress the entire Northeastern Horse Immortal lineage on the scale. If it were you who was standing there today, would you have the courage?"

Deng Youfu was speechless. If he asked himself honestly, he really didn't have that kind of courage.

Guan Shihua raised her head and looked up at the simple chandelier hanging from the beams. "What makes me happy the most is not his courage."

"It's true that we've been keeping an eye on him for three years. After all, we can't figure out his character, so we can't act rashly. We have to follow the law in everything, right? In order to figure out the cause and effect of what happened in Changbai Mountain, we have to spend a lot of effort, but he has indeed been hiding for three years, and he has been leak-proof for three years."

"If you give him another three years, he can still act like this, and even act perfectly. But Youfu, do you know why he would rather risk being exposed today to warn Xiao Si?"

Deng Youfu shook his head awkwardly, "I don't know."

“Bottom line.”

Guan Shihua said two very weighty words.

"In the past three years, you can be curious about me and test me. I can tolerate that. But you can't test me with human beings. You can't test me with matters involving human lives. This is my bottom line."

Guan Shihua glanced at Hu Sixi standing beside her.

"The mountain is covered with snow, the weather is freezing, and Xiao Yan'er is haunted by an immortal and has a high fever. Why don't you come to my place, but use Xiao Yan'er to test him?"

"You really want to show off in front of me? Xiao Si, you have done a great job today."

Snapped!
Hu Sixi slapped the table and knelt down tremblingly, "Auntie, I was wrong, I know it's wrong!"

"Hmph." Guan Shihua snorted coldly, "You didn't do this right, and neither did our Ma Xian lineage. After the incident at Changbai Mountain, he will be our Ma family's benefactor. You don't need me to teach you what to do in the future."

"I know, I know! I will definitely go to Master Yan's house to apologize. I... I... yes, yes, yes! I know that Master Yan likes some of the classics of the 'Immortal Family'. I will give him several treasured books passed down in my family as an apology..."

"Go and do your work." Guan Shihua waved her hand.

After everyone in the hall had left, the little old lady sat cross-legged on the armchair with her eyes closed, meditating.

Something was wrong. Something was wrong.

Strange!
This guy gives people a very weird feeling.

Guarding over several immortals, I felt a little uneasy.
