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

Chapter 392: Reforging the Sword Bone
Wang family's main hall.

Mr. Wang sat in the master chair at the bottom of the hall.

Cui'er was separated from him by a coffee table.

The two sons and two daughters-in-law sat on the left and right sides respectively.

It was the coldest time of the year in winter, and the weather was gloomy. There was a copper basin with charcoal fire at Wang Chushi's feet.

"Big brother, second brother, you wanted to see me yesterday. Now I'm free, tell me, what do you want to see me about?"

The two brothers looked at each other first, both with conflicted expressions, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Mr. Wang looked at his two daughters-in-law one by one and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Zhang lowered her eyebrows and said, "I will follow the instructions of my father-in-law and husband in everything."

Nie glared at her mockingly and raised her head to say something, but when she met the old man's eyes which were as calm as a deep pool, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her throat.

Mr. Wang sighed and said, "Since you won't tell me, I will tell you.

My father, your grandfather, was just an ordinary farmer.

It took all our family savings to raise me and send me to school.

The Wang family’s sudden rise to prominence in my generation is related to an experience I had when I was young.

My respect and humility won the favor of the immortal in the game.

The immortal took pity on my miserable life and granted me a little blessing.

If I were lucky enough and you guys weren't around anymore, I would just go to the mountains and become an immortal.

Unfortunately, my fortune is only to be content with a small fortune. "

Everyone in the room, including Cui'er, looked surprised and suspicious.

Cui'er had just learned the story of Mr. Wang's encounter with a fairy when he was young.

Wang Dalang and Wang Erlang were surprised that their suspicions were confirmed.

Nie and Zhang were surprised that the old man would speak frankly about the old story of Xianyuan.

Mr. Wang took in everyone's looks and expressions. His mood became more complicated, but his face became calmer.

He continued, “The immortal was kind-hearted, and before we parted, he casually picked a lotus and gave it to me.

The lotus is not some magic treasure, it is just a breath of magic blown by immortals, which can protect the house from being invaded by ghosts.

Now, rumors are spreading that the Wang family has a magical treasure, which is so powerful that it can even make people become immortals. "

Mrs. Nie, Mrs. Zhang, and even the two princes' eyes lit up.

Mr. Wang said calmly, "Po Feng is good at raising ghosts. She raised a vicious creature that almost killed your deceased mother. Because your mother once warned the family in a dream."

"Ah, mother, how is she now?"

The vague expectation and joy on the faces of the two princes turned into worry and panic.

Nie also looked panicked.

Cui'er was simply worried.

Mr. Wang waved his hands and said, "I asked you to speak just now, but you didn't. Now I'm going to start talking, so you all should listen carefully and don't interrupt."

The king wanted to say, "But——"

"After listening to me, there will be no more 'buts'." Mr. Wang glared at him, silencing the king.

"Feng Nipo herself is a demon, and she has found eight companions to plot against the Wang family. They are all evil gods and monsters, full of evil and murderous. The weakest one is stronger than Chen Taiping, the guardian of the country of our Western Shu."

"Ah~~" Nie covered her mouth and exclaimed, her face pale.

After hearing this, no matter how stupid or greedy she was, she should now wake up and realize that Feng Nipo would never let the magic treasure fall into her hands.

"The day before yesterday, Cui Er went to the temple to burn incense and was hit in the stomach by a ghost on the way. It was the ghost raised by Feng Nipo.

That night, a group of evil demons gathered together, ready to slaughter the Wang family completely, leaving no one alive."

Now all the members of the Wang family were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.

“The night before yesterday, Shuiyue Temple was burned to the ground, and the neighbors were talking about it.

After the fire was extinguished, many bodies were found in the rubble.

They died, killed by Xiao Fengxian.

Xiao Fengxian saved the lives of our entire family. You and your descendants should never forget this great favor.

But Xiao Fengxian can help us once, but she can’t help us every time.”

Nie couldn't help it and shouted, "Dad, you have a fairy treasure, and the Wang family has a fairy treasure!"

Mr. Wang said calmly, "There is no magic treasure, you have been deceived by Feng Nipo.

The Wang family has only one lotus flower, which supports the Dharma Realm and blocks ghosts and gods, but cannot block human immortals. "

"I didn't. I haven't seen Aunt Feng Ni for a long time." Nie shook his head vigorously and denied it hurriedly.

Mr. Wang sighed, “The immortal gave me the lotus to ensure my prosperity, not to allow the Wang family to dominate the world.

The lotus has only the function of driving away evil spirits and ghosts.

I understand, you don’t want to believe it, you want more.”

He reached into his sleeve and fumbled for a while, and when he took his hand out, there was a lotus flower as big as a fist in his hand.

The lotus petals are white with pink, and the stems are green, as if they had just been picked from the pond.

There are no dewdrops on the petals, but they reflect a little golden light, giving people an extremely magical feeling.

"Alas, it's been almost thirty years."

Mr. Wang stared at the lotus with complicated eyes, then suddenly raised his hand and threw the flower into the brazier in front of him.

It is strange to say, the lotus looks extremely tender, with pink petals and green stems, as if it had just been picked from a pond, but when it is thrown into a charcoal brazier without an open flame, two-foot-high flames immediately rise, and the petals and stems begin to burn.

A golden light burst out from the flames, which was very gorgeous.

The mysterious and noble aura was dissipating quickly, and even mortals could sense it.

"Ah, Dad, are you crazy?!"

Nie and Zhang were stunned for a moment, then screamed, ran quickly to the brazier, and reached into the basin to fish something out.

They actually caught the burning lotus.

"Get away and don't compete with me." The two sisters-in-law started pushing each other.

"Aren't you afraid of being burned?" Cui'er couldn't help but remind her, "The lotus is still burning."

"Ow~~~"

Nie and Zhang regained some sense, and the severe pain immediately spread from their palms to their whole bodies, "It's burning me to death~~"

They screamed miserably, but held on tighter with their hands.

But the lotus was still burning, burning their palms until the skin was torn and the flesh was charred red. The flames were completely extinguished only when the petals and stems were completely burned to ashes.

"Ah, my fairy treasure~~~" Nie's howl even shook the tiles on the beams.

"Shut up!" Wang Chushi shouted, "The things of the immortals never belonged to me, let alone you. The lotus comes because of fate, and it will go away when fate is over. Forcing it to stay will only bring endless disasters."

"Dad, you are a brain-damaged person. Even if you didn't want the lotus, you gave it to me and I would still remember your kindness. Now it's all over, and only resentment is left." Nie shouted excitedly.

"How can you talk to your father like that!" The king finally reacted and stood up to pull his wife away, "Lotus can only protect against ghosts, but not evil spirits like Feng Nipo.

Dad burned the lotus to eliminate the hidden danger that could destroy the Wang family. It’s a good thing!

If I really gave you the lotus, and a pervert like Feng Nipo came to kill you, how many blows could you withstand?"

"Feng Nipo is dead. She was killed by Xiao Fengxian." Nie shouted.

The king said angrily: "Idiot! Even if one Feng Nipo dies, there are still thousands of 'Feng Nipo'. Xiao Fengxian sacrificed herself to help us, and only saved our family once.

Do you still expect that there will be thousands of 'Yi Bo Yun Tian Yu Feng Xian' in the future to stop 'Feng Ni Po' for you?"

The burn on her right hand made Nie sweat profusely, but she still gritted her teeth and shouted, "Even if the lotus can't stop the evil ways, give it to the king, or sell it to a rich businessman——"

Mr. Wang could no longer bear it and shouted, "Shut up! That is not your lotus, nor is it the Wang family's lotus. Forget it, if you want to resent it, then resent it.

I will move to Wangjiazhuang later and live next to your mother's grave."

"Ah, how could you leave at this time, father?" Dalang and Erlang both cried out in worry.

Mr. Wang gave them a deep look and said, "It's time for me to leave."

Mr. Wang has a strong ability to take action.

After the family meeting, I immediately returned to my own yard and began to organize my clothes and books.

"You want to use yourself as bait to lure those people out?" Xiaoyu appeared behind him silently.

Mr. Wang raised his head first and glanced at the small courtyard through the window.

Two sons and an old servant were standing in the yard, and Cui'er was outside the gate.

He whispered, "If I don't leave, they will find the Wang family.

Anyway, the lotus is indeed gone. Did you get the lotus seeds I placed next to the water tank?"

Xiaoyu spread out her right hand, and a emerald green lotus seed lay quietly in her white palm.

“Eat it quickly. No matter who comes to me, I will say that I burned the lotus, but it is inevitable that someone can read my mind like Chijuro.

You eat the lotus seeds and put an end to it. Reading my mind will only make them give up completely." said Mr. Wang.

Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth, and threw the lotus seeds into her throat.

Mr. Wang stared at her with wide eyes, wanting to ask her how she felt, but held back.

"If you stay at the Wang family, I can still take care of you. If you go to Wangjiazhuang, I will be too busy to take care of both the Wang family and you at the same time." Xiaoyu used a little trick and did not swallow the lotus seeds immediately.

Now is not the right time.

"No, you don't have to look after me. Sooner or later, someone from the Wang family will have to face them personally. It's either me or someone else from the Wang family. It's better for me to solve the hidden danger completely." Mr. Wang shook his head.

Xiao Yu thought about it and nodded, "Well, I will live in Xiao Jing Xuan from now on, at least outsiders won't disturb your family."

"Thank you!" A relieved smile bloomed on Mr. Wang's old face.

Mr. Wang didn't even have lunch at home.

After packing a box of winter clothes and a box of books, he got on the old servant's donkey cart and drove slowly towards the north city gate.

"Xiao Qiang, you stay in Sister Cui'er's yard and protect them. I'm going to Wangjiazhuang."

"Master, I think Xue Cui'er needs your protection more. Without the magic treasure, Mr. Wang is nothing, and the bad guys may ignore him. But Xue Cui'er is still pregnant with the fairy fetus." Xiaoqiang said.

Xiao Yu said, "Aren't you at Wang's house? You will definitely risk your life to protect Sister Cui'er."

"If some ruthless characters like Poisonous Monk, Fairy Luochen, and True Lord Dufeng come, I won't be able to protect them even if I give my life!" Xiaoqiang said.

Xiao Yu said: "You sacrificed your life, so at least I can know."

Xiao Qiang looked at the jade bone bell on her waist and understood what she meant.

If it is killed by the enemy, it will return to the Goubao Paradise and wait for resurrection.

The owner holding the jade bone bell immediately knew that something had changed in the Wang family.

"Will you be back in time?"

Xiao Yu sighed: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

She won't always follow Mr. Wang.

However, in recent days, the possibility of someone asking Master Wang about the fairy treasure is much higher than asking Cui'er.

When the storm has passed and everyone is sure that the Wang family has indeed lost the magic treasure, no one will keep an eye on Mr. Wang anymore.

At that time, Cui'er was the only one in the entire Wang family who was still guilty of possessing a treasure.

"Why not the other way around? I'll go and look after Mr. Wang, and you stay in Xiaojingxuan. You should care more about Xue Cuier." Xiaoqiang said.

Xiao Yu said: "It is certain that Mr. Wang has lost his magic treasure. There is no point in murdering him, and it will only anger the immortal who gave him the magic treasure.

If the visitor only wants to ask Mr. Wang about the magical treasure, I will not show up and let Mr. Wang tell the truth.

Although you know how to sneak around, you can't do it as well as I can."

This was somewhat beyond Xiaoyu's expectations.

In the following days, Mr. Wang was busy repairing a house at the foot of the barren mountain, and no one disturbed him at all.

No one approached him directly to confirm whether the fairy treasure was really burned.

Even the people who spy secretly are very few.

Most of the people who spied on him were ordinary warriors or even ordinary people.

"It seems that I have underestimated the deterrent effect of the 'Shuiyue Temple Massacre' on the 'gangsters' of Yingxiang Mansion."

Xiaoyu glanced at the Guan family in the distance and seemed to realize something.

At first she hid it from the Guan family.

Even if she quietly returned to Tianbaoju during the day to find Shaoyao to catch up on an hour's sleep, the Guan family would not have noticed her.

But two days later, Guan's family found her hiding place - in a deep ravine halfway up the mountain.

The old monk’s tomb is at the top of the mountain, and Mr. Wang lives in a hut at the foot of the mountain.

Xiaoyu was halfway up the mountain, hiding in a small but extremely deep mountain stream.

Most likely, the Guan family was able to find her only after receiving a reminder from Guan Chenghuang.

Guan Chenghuang knew that she was hiding beside Mr. Wang, so would he alert other people who were ready to make a move?
Or, did Guan Chenghuang already know that the lotus seeds fell into her hands?
Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still chewed the lotus seeds in her mouth into pieces.

She has not been idle these days.

After using the magic thought to take away the soul of Taoist Wu, she has replenished her mental strength.

With sufficient mental strength, one will naturally continue to create sword techniques and comprehend sword intent.

Now you can try to reforge the sword bone.

Xiaoyu wants to use the pure yang energy in the lotus seeds as the "foundation" for recasting the sword bone.
