If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 138: Yi Bo Yun Tian Yu Feng Xian

"Xiao Fengxian, you are here~~"

Jinlian, holding up a lotus-green silk skirt, twisted and turned in front of the full-length bronze mirror, examining herself.

She didn't even have time to look at Xiaoyu, who was brought in by Chun'er.

"Where are Young Master Gongsun and the others?" Xiao Yu asked.

There were still Gongsun Gongzi's guards and servants in the Yihong Courtyard, but there was no banquet or guests.

"They are in the Cuifang Pavilion next door. It's summer now and the weather is hot, so the Cuifang Pavilion is cooler."

Jinlian replied casually, then picked up a silk shirt from the hanger beside the screen and asked, "Xiao Fengxian, come over here and help me take a look.

Is this new 'lotus leaf skirt' from Four Seasons House more beautiful, or is the lotus silk shirt and willow flower skirt more suitable for me? "

Xiaoyu thought that the lotus silk shirt and willow flower skirt looked more beautiful, but she didn't want Jinlian to continue to make trouble, so she pointed at the lotus leaf skirt she was wearing and said, "This one is so beautiful, it will definitely make people swoon - uh, sister Jinlian, who are you dressing up for? Master Wen or Master Gongsun."

"It must be prepared for Young Master Gongsun. Is there any need to ask?" Jinlian said as a matter of course.

Xiao Yu said with a strange expression: "You haven't gone out these days, and have been staying with Master Gongsun.

I thought you dressed up nicely because you finally got to meet Master Wen.

After all, wouldn't it be boring to be with Gongsun Gongzi every day? Do you still need to prepare clothes carefully?"

Jinlian finally turned around and looked at her like a fool, saying, "I wish I could stay with Master Gongsun for the rest of my life, spending every day and night with him, how could I possibly get bored?

You are really a stupid girl who knows nothing."

Xiao Yu said: "At least I understand that Master Gongsun is with you every day, so he is an old friend, and Master Wen is barely a new friend after not seeing him for many days.

Especially when he takes the initiative to look for you at a time like this, it shows how deep our friendship is."

Jinlian sneered, "What kind of newcomer is he? He shouldn't have come at all."

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Sister, are you sure you want to leave with Master Gongsun?"

Didn’t Jinlian ask her to learn the Nine Flower Sword in order to marry into the Wen family and become Wen Ruyu’s concubine?

To say such things now would only mean climbing to a higher branch.

"Hehe, even though I didn't say it explicitly, I have already given my heart to you. Even if I have to eat coarse food, I will follow Master Gongsun for the rest of my life.

Thank you Feng Gan Niang for reading my fortune. When the day of my departure comes, I will definitely give her a big gift. "

Jinlian's face was flushed, showing shyness but also strong anticipation.

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Mr. Gongsun is probably going to marry a young lady from a Western family."

"Really?" Jinlian was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "That's right, when he came to Xisha, he must have settled down and established a career. If he doesn't marry a lady from a noble family, will he marry a cousin?

Haha, Xiao Fengxian, don’t worry, I know it clearly.

With my background, being able to serve you as a slave for my whole life is a blessing earned from my vegetarian diet and Buddhist practice in my previous life. How dare I ask for more?"

Now that she has this realization, Xiaoyu has nothing to say.

"What does Master Gongsun want me to do?"

"I'm asking about your use of the Investiture of the Gods to deify others." Jinlian said with a complicated expression, "You are really amazing, just like the gods in the legends.

Canonize ghosts as gods!

There were dozens of them at once. I felt a little regretful.

If I hadn’t met Master Gongsun, I would probably have been drinking with guests in the lobby that night.”

Xiao Yu sighed, "Don't even mention you. I feel like it's a dream myself. But the real 'immortal figure' is not me, but the Investiture of the Gods.

Without the treasure of the world like the Investiture of the Gods, I would have been chopped in half by the immortal assassin."

Jinlian turned around and continued to fiddle with her skirt, saying, “Master Gongsun heard about Jingui, Bitao and the others coming back to say goodbye to their sisters last night.

He is curious, so he asks you.

You can choose to say what you can say, and say you don’t know what you can’t say.

Just like you said, without the Investiture of the Gods, all fantasies are in vain."

Xiao Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "What are Master Wen, Master Xiao, and Baldy Miao doing here?"

Jinlian said calmly: "Wen Ruyu came to see me. He smells good from a distance but stinks up close. After not seeing him for a few days, he has fallen in love with me.

Xiao Big Nose and Miao Bald Man did not come today.

I heard that Master Gongsun lived in Yihong Courtyard. They were like cats that smelled fish. They begged me again and again, saying that they were willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, and asked Madam Jinlian to show mercy.

"So, Master Gongsun is still willing to meet them?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.

"It's not just a meeting, I've asked them to accompany me for drinks several times in the past few days.

It is bound to be wishful thinking to expect Xiao Dabi and Miao Tuzi to achieve great things.

But it is quite convenient to let them do some small things in Tianmen Town, such as running errands and gathering information.

Yesterday, when the two of them asked Master Gongsun for help with their future, Master Gongsun agreed with a smile.

Hehe, this is a good thing.

If I run into trouble in the future, I will have at least two acquaintances around me who can help me out." Jinlian said with a smile.

Just as Jinlian said, as soon as Master Gongsun met her, he eagerly asked about the List of the Gods.

But she was not the only guest, and apparently, Master Wen was the guest with the most noble status.

So before asking about the List of the Gods, Master Gongsun exchanged some pleasantries with Master Wen.

"I have long hoped to meet Han, but never had the chance to meet Li. Today I have the honor to meet your wise man in Hongxiufang!" said Master Gongsun.

Master Wen stood up and said, "Brother, you are a noble from the upper state, while I am an idler from the lower state. Brother, you are soaring high into the sky, while I am a mediocre person. I cannot bear such praise from you!"

Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. She heard that "Zhan Han" and "Yu Li" should be famous Chinese allusions, which probably meant to praise Wen Ruyu as an outstanding talent and that it was an honor to meet him.

But she really didn't understand these two allusions.

——Hongqiu is right. Reading is not only about reading Taoist scriptures, nor is it about learning rare characters.

Many allusions are hidden in various books, and you cannot understand them unless you read them.

If you don’t understand the allusions, you won’t even understand what others are saying and will be like an illiterate.

What made her even more ashamed was that even Xiao Big Nose and Miao Bald, the two "second-rate guys in Tianmen Town", spoke in a flowery way and quoted from classics to flatter her.

After greeting, Master Gongsun continued to be polite, saying: "I have something to say, it comes completely from my heart, Brother Wen, please don't take it as a courtesy.

I have been staying in Yihong Courtyard for many days, enjoying the blessing of appreciating the moon and clouds, and being blessed by the flowers and willows.

My brother and Jinlian have always been close friends, and they have not seen each other for a long time. It is only natural that they can become a couple, talk about their feelings at night, and indulge in the joy of flying.

My brother and the servants can move out of Yihong Courtyard and find another place to live temporarily.

I wonder if Brother Wen would be willing to grant me this favor and fulfill my wish?"

This sentence has no allusion, but Xiaoyu understood it completely and could describe it in four words: I want to give it to a girl!

She immediately saw Jinlian's face change color.

Wen Ruyu was not ecstatic, but instead looked hesitant and thoughtful.

He was still thinking about how to refuse. After all, the noble young man from the upper state was so polite and gave him so much face. He was also from a noble family and could not lose his manners.

Miao Tuzi spoke before him and said in a hurry: "Our Yingxiang Mansion's Master Wen has never been a playboy! He only has the interest in chasing the moon and clouds occasionally.

Besides, this is Hongxiufang in Qingshui Bay, so it is the easiest to get close to the beauties.

Besides, you are from the Wen family, you are under the supervision of the old lady, and you are busy with your own affairs, so you can't stay here for too long. You have to go back to Yingxiang Mansion in the afternoon!"

Jinlian smiled charmingly and gave Miao Tuzi an admiring look out of the corner of her eye.

Wen Ruyu was furious!
He didn't intend to accept Gongsun Gongzi's act of giving up his daughter.

It is a courtesy for a noble man in a state to give his daughter to him.

He declined politely, which was also a courtesy.

But who the hell are you, Miao Baldy, to dare to speak for Master Wen! !
There is another important reason for Master Wen's anger: before Master Gongsun came, Miao Tuzi and Xiao Dabizi also flattered him through Jinlian, and had been trying to please him for the past few months. They said they would be his loyal dogs before, but now they are helping other men to play with his women. How unreasonable!

In his heart, he wanted to draw his sword and chop Miao Tuzi, but Wen Ruyu was polite and said with a smile, "Brother Miao has said everything I was thinking.

Brother Gongsun, don't put all your attention on me, after all, the guest of honor today is Miss Fengxian."

"That's right, that's right. We are all curious about how Miss Fengxian uses the Book of Conferred Gods to confer gods. Please tell us about it!" Xiao Dabi nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Yu first exchanged a few polite words with them, and then "told the truth", saying that by chance, the List of Gods was activated, and he took away the soul of the immortal assassin in a daze. He couldn't bear to see what happened to Jingui and Bitao, so he made them gods in a daze.

"Miss Fengxian is so righteous!"

Xiao Dabi's face was full of admiration. He raised his glass to toast Xiao Yu, praising her repeatedly, "Holding the List of Gods, you don't seek benefits for yourself, but only think about the sisters in the building.

She also used her own achievements to exchange for a bright future for her sisters.

Miss Fengxian is truly the most loyal and affectionate person I have ever met in my life."

Uncle Xiao was a thin scholar with a monkey face, but because of drinking, he had a rosacea as big as a plum.

After drinking a glass of wine, his big nose began to glow red and ooze oil.

"As the saying goes, there are many heroes among the world, and Miss Fengxian is exactly what I'm talking about!" Miao Tuzi not only toasted, he also stood up and bowed to Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu declined and drank two glasses of water.

Jinlian used water instead of wine on the grounds that she was young.

If they encountered a similar situation outside, Jinlian would take the initiative to block the wine for her and drink it for her.

When Xiaoyu was talking about the Conferred Gods, Wen Ruyi kept his eyes glued to Jinlian.

Seeing Jinlian constantly flirting with him and focusing all her attention on Master Gongsun without paying any attention to herself, he felt both sad and angry.

That day, behind the City God Temple in Yingxiang Prefecture, she gave him the purse containing her hair, expressed her attachment to and love for him, knelt on the ground, hugged his legs, and begged him not to let her down.

It's only been a few days and this cousin has changed his mind!

Seeing Master Gongsun again, who was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, he felt even more bitter and lonely.

"Ding!" He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then put it down heavily, attracting everyone's attention.

Wen Ruyu laughed and said, "Miss Fengxian's loyalty is not just to use the List of Conferred Gods to confer deities upon her former sisters!

Do you know why Taoist Qingsong came to Hongxiufang and why he wanted to find Xiao Fengxian alone? "

Jinlian's face was leaning against Gongsun Gongzi, but her hands moved very skillfully and she quickly peeled a handful of roasted sunflower seeds.

The melon seed shells were thrown on the ground and the melon seed kernels were piled in a small plate on the side.

Then he picked up a big meatball with chopsticks and placed it on another small plate. He then inserted the melon seeds into the meatball one by one, put the meatball into the wine glass, poured in the wine, and finally handed the wine glass to Gongsun Gongzi's mouth.

He never even looked at Wen Ruyu.

On the contrary, Master Gongsun happily chewed the melon seed meatballs while mumbling, "Could it be that Taoist Qingsong wanted to visit Xiao Fengxian for more than just a reminiscence?"

Wen Ruyu forced a smile and said, "Of course we talked about the past, but the main purpose was to help Miss Fengxian register for the position of the City God of Jinyang."

"Hiss, Jinyang City God?"

Not to mention Xiao Big Nose and Miao Baldy, even Jinlian was surprised.

Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, he glanced at Wen Ruyu, and said nothing.

Everyone knew that she had met Taoist Qingsong and had seen the Investiture of the Gods. But she had never told anyone other than Li Dan about the City God of Jinyang, and only said that Taoist Qingsong was an old friend.

I didn't mention it before because I was worried that unexpected things would arise and ruin Uncle Duan's position as City God.

Uncle Duan was officially canonized as a god only last night, so she had no time or opportunity to tell anyone.

The key is that she had no intention of publicizing this matter at all.

Regarding the matter of the City God of Jinyang, the only thing she wanted to say was what she had already said to Uncle Duan last night: Be a good god!
"Marquis Lieyang once publicly offered a reward for the heads of the Eight Immortals of the West. The reward was the position of the City God. Miss Fengxian killed Kong Zan and should have become the City God of Jinyang, but she gave the position to the two ghosts of Sanchaling."

Wen Ruyu told Xiaoyu's story in detail, which she had never told anyone else.

The look in Xiao Big Nose and Miao Bald's eyes when they looked at Xiao Yu was no longer admiration, instead they only saw incomprehension of a fool's stupid behavior.

Jinlian even shouted, "Xiao Fengxian, are you stupid? When you deified Jingui and Bitao, you didn't know the result and effect, and you didn't dare to risk your life, which is understandable.

But the position of City God was clearly placed in front of you, and you were so stupid that you gave the position of City God to two dead ghosts. It was not them who buried your remains, but you who collected their remains and built their tombs.

You have done them a favor!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Master Wen didn't tell the whole story. I was able to survive Kong Zan's Qimen escape formation thanks to Uncle Duan's guidance. Killing Kong Zan will only take a-"

Xiao Yu wanted to say that most of the credit went to Duan Yuhan, but when she caught a glimpse of Wen Ruyu across from her and vaguely felt Guan Qiong's gaze on the roof, she changed her words and said, "A small part of the credit goes to Uncle Duan, and most of the credit goes to Yi, or General Guan Huchen."

"Godfather" said halfway and then changed his words. It was her intentional act again.

She even paused for a moment deliberately, with a look of disappointment on her face.

"General Guiguan?" Wen Ruyu was stunned.

Xiao Yu nodded and said in a complicated tone: "Uncle Duan helped me find the direction in the Qimen Escape Formation, and General Guan Huchen gave me a precious Nine-Transformation Bone-Changing Pill, which enabled me to achieve the ultimate sword bone ability and possess the power to kill Kong Zan.

It’s a pity that General Guan Huchen left the West.

I understand his great ambition. He has the eyes of an immortal and aspires to become an immortal.

So after much hesitation, I handed over the position of City God to Uncle Duan.

As for myself, well, people should be content and not be too greedy.

How many people died at Feixiandu that day?

Being able to survive in the Qimen Escape Formation is my greatest blessing. I should not enjoy any more blessings."

Wen Ruyu's mood at this moment was like an overturned color palette. Each color was an emotion, and all the emotions were mixed together and difficult to distinguish.

He knew about the City God of Jinyang because both the Guan and Wen families were talking about it.

The reason why the Guan and Wen families talked was because of anger and unwillingness.

The unwilling "Guan Yu" of the past actually has the opportunity to become the City God.

When Kong Zan was killed at Feixiandu, she was still Guan Yu, the adopted daughter of the Guan family!

What made them angry was that the position of City God, which the Guan and Wen families had longed for and were extremely unwilling to accept, was given away by her so easily.

And gave it to an insignificant wild ghost in the mountains.

Now we know that "Guan Yu" actually agrees that the Guan family has made greater contributions, and is obviously willing to give the position of the City God to Guan Huchen. However, because Guan Huchen has left Xisha and gone to the East to seek a bright future, he has missed the opportunity. If Guan Huchen left a few days later, if Guan Huchen gave the position of the City God to the Wen family.
Even though he knew he was just daydreaming, Wen Ruyu was almost pissed off at this moment.

But he understood that he was definitely not the most angry person.

If the son-in-law (Guan Wenlong) knew that he had missed the position of Jinyang City God (before the Green Head Case broke out, if Hu Chen refused the position of City God, Wenlong would definitely be the first heir), he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood, or even die.

Wen Ruyu was speechless. Gongsun pushed Jinlian away, bowed solemnly, and said, "Miss Fengxian has a noble character and great righteousness. Gongsun Wujiu admires her!"

Xiao Yu quickly stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I just know myself well and understand that the title of City God is not only a reward, but also a heavy responsibility.

I am a barbarian, and obviously cannot take on the responsibility of governing the underworld affairs of a country."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Gongzi showed even more respect on his face, and said with emotion: "Miss Fengxian, please don't say words like 'barbarians' again. Your righteous deeds and character are rare even in the Central Plains.

The ancient sages recorded in books are no more than this.

If you are considered a ‘barbarian’, then 99% of the people in the world are beasts, or even worse than beasts.”

Xiaoyu was moved in her heart that Master Gongsun was so polite and graceful, and had such an extraordinary demeanor, he was worthy of being a nobleman in the upper state!

Well, before Master Gongsun gave him the evaluation of "ancient sage", she had been cursing him as a fool in her heart, and was hoping that he would suffer from the "Great Dad-Destroying Curse" and die sooner or later (ps).

PS: As explained before, being worshipped as a foster father by Xiaoyu will reduce your luck. Good fortune is only useful when you are in crisis, and you will not encounter undue misfortune because of the loss of good fortune.

But we have a God’s perspective and know.

Xiao Yu didn’t know, nor was she sure about the loss of Da Mie’s fortune. She could only analyze through big data - many of the people she adopted as her godfather had unknown fates.

But she also had doubts. Many bastards seemed to have bad luck, but they were still living well, such as Gongsun Wujiu, Xiao Dabizi and Miao Tuzi, and the "parents" she met with Jinlian.

Although she didn't know the principle of reducing blessings, Xiaoyu deliberately avoided calling some people "Dad and Mom", and deliberately called some people she thought were bastards "Grandpa and Mom", even if they obviously didn't have very powerful immortal weapons.
