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

Chapter 462 The Wind Rises

Xiao Yu overlooked one thing: there was no fluctuation of divine power from Old Ghost Chen, but he was indeed listed as the City God in the past.

To put it simply, when he retired and returned to his hometown, the Great Qin Heavenly Master had already written his name in the "Investiture of the Gods".

Therefore, he could live in Tianmen Town for more than ten years without any fear, living a carefree and unhurried life.

Even today, he has no Book of Life and Death, no Seal of the City God, no power of incense and vows, and no power of the City God, but he still has a part of the "authority of the land god" bestowed upon him by heaven and earth.

Not to mention Cuiping Mountain, even if he went to other places, as long as he was within the territory of Yingxiang Prefecture, he could still blend into the earth and be in harmony with the natural environment. He had strong concealment and perception.

And some things had already happened when Xiaoyu was unaware.

After all, she killed He Xuan in the street early yesterday morning.

Back to yesterday morning, in Yingxiang Prefecture and Tianmen Town, the people of the entire city were discussing the heroic, righteous, and crazy act of "Yu Fengxian killing He Xuan in a rage" without regard for the consequences.

Yingxiang Mansion, Guan family.

"Mom, have you heard? That little bitch Sha Manyu killed the Great Qin Sword Immortal He Xuan!"

Guan Tianfeng, wearing a bright red riding suit, rushed into the house.

He didn't care that his mother was discussing New Year gifts and banquets with several housekeepers, and started shouting loudly at the door of the main hall.

Wen Danxia's already dignified face showed a fierce look, and she shouted at her daughter: "You are yelling and shouting, which is not decent. Get out now."

Guan Tianfeng didn't get out.

The housekeepers, however, lowered their heads and put away the account books, abacus and other items swiftly. They said timidly, "Madam, we will go down and calculate again and report to you later," and then quickly left the hall.

The head maid in the house and the maids and old women who cleaned the house outside also left the yard and helped to close the door.

"Mom, you can't just focus on the little piece of land at home. The word has spread outside that Sha Manyu has recast the sword bone!" Guan Tianfeng's expression seemed excited, unwilling and angry.

Wen Danxia was calm and composed, and said calmly: "Who told you that Yu Fengxian recast the sword bone?"

"It's Sha Manyu, not Yu Fengxian!" Guan Tianfeng raised his voice and corrected.

"Isn't Yu Fengxian the same as Sha Manyu?" Wen Danxia said.

Guan Tianfeng's beautiful face, which resembled her mother's, became distorted and hideous, and her voice was filled with hatred.

"There is only one 'Phoenix' in Yingxiang Mansion, and that is me, Guan Tianfeng!"

Wen Danxia said calmly: "I understand, before Yu Fengxian came to Tianmen Town, you were very popular in Yingxiang Mansion, and all the young men respected you, surrounded you, and flattered you.

But Yu Fengxian's resounding reputation is due to her righteousness, courage and strategy.

There is no conflict between you and the noble men and ladies of East Shu."

Guan Tianfeng's beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to be smoldering with fire, and she said sharply, "Why are you deceiving yourself, mother?
Because of Sha Manyu, how many people looked at us strangely when they saw us; and when they were behind our backs, they talked about our Guan family, and about us mother and daughter, in a strange tone?
Moreover, after the failure of digging for the Shamanyu Sword Bone in Longtou Town, our ancestors have always told us to stay away from her.

Wherever Sha Manyu is, we should not get close to her, we should not see her, and we should not appear where she is.

We live like mice.

I just want to ask, who is the lowly Shaman and who is the noble Miss Guan?"

The Prince of Qinghe once commented on Guan Chenghuang: He was cautious throughout his life.

Very accurate.

Guan Chenghuang is indeed very cautious.

He said that he wanted to completely cut off the connection between the Guan family and Sha Manyu. Not only did he remove Sha Manyu from her status as the Guan family's adopted daughter, he even told the Guan family not to have any contact with Sha Manyu again.

We can't even meet or talk.

Therefore, in the six months that Xiaoyu had been in Tianmen Town, he had hardly seen any living people from the Guan family.

Well, the Guan family’s ghosts and gods don’t count, we see them almost every day.

Of course, there were other reasons why she had never met the owners of the first and second branches of the Guan family.

When Wen Danxia heard her daughter's screams, she felt the same frustration in her heart, but she was definitely more cunning than a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Although our ancestors have given instructions, we don't need to do anything special. Our whole family has been in Luodu for some time."

After the Thousand-Handed Thief stole the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Master Talisman and fled to Yingxiang Mansion, in order to force Guan Chenghuang to take sides - to help them hunt down the Thousand-Handed Thief, rather than slacking off (for fear of offending the Eight Immortals of the West) - the Prince of Qinghe County specifically asked the King of Shu to issue an order, allowing Guan Wenlong and Wen Danxia to lead the Guan family members from the first and second wives to Luodu.

What the Prince of Qinghe meant was: Luodu has lost the protection of the Bagua Tianshi Talisman. If a big monster attacks, your Guan family will perish along with Luodu, so you should be careful to find the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint as soon as possible, and don't think about not offending the "Eight Immortals of the West".

In November, after the birthday celebration of King Shu, Guan Wenlong, Wen Danxia and the Guan family returned to their hometown.

Guan Wenlong also resigned from his official position in Western Shu because of his leg disability.

In the past six months, the Guan family's life has indeed been rather depressing, even a bit miserable.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. You only need to know three things. First, Sha Manyu recast the sword bone!

It’s the immortal bone forged with the Wang family’s immortal energy.

He Xuan possessed the aura of a sword immortal, but he still couldn't cut off her sword bones.

Even when He Xuan unleashed the 'Sword Immortal Killer Move' hidden in his body by his master, it only left superficial injuries on Sha Manyu.

She activated her sword bones, and her body became like a sharp sword. She used the sword of her body to counter the sword immortal's 'hiding the sword in the body'. She won completely, and He Xuan and his sword immortal master were completely defeated.

Sha Manyu's sword bone is flawless and has unlimited potential, it is even more powerful than a real natural immortal bone.

Secondly, Sha Manyu is about to leave Tianmen Town, and she is also going to Daqin to seek a bright future. "

When saying this, Guan Tianfeng's expression became complicated and even more distorted.

Because she subconsciously thought of her "second uncle father" Guan Huchen who had gone to Daqin to seek a bright future.

Now, not to mention Guan’s family, the common people of Yingxiang Prefecture and Luodu also know that her mother has been cheating on her and that Guan Huchen has been framed by his brothers. On the surface, she is Huchen’s daughter, but in fact, she is her uncle Wenlong’s biological daughter.

Fortunately, her mother did not steal from an outsider.

Huchen and Wenlong are both members of the Guan family.

She was still the legitimate daughter of the Guan family, but her reputation was not very good. Her status in the family was even higher - with Guan Huchen running away from home, she was the "eldest lady" in both the first and second houses and no one could control her.

"Mother, once Yu Fengxian leaves, there will really be no chance!"

Wen Danxia's face changed slightly, and she just opened her mouth to say something. Guan Tianfeng's face showed a strange look, and she said in a faint voice: "Finally, and most importantly, mother, once you do something, you can't pretend it never happened.

Even if it didn't work out at the time, the cause and effect were still established.

Now everyone in the city knows what kind of person Sha Manyu is.

For the sake of a whore from Hongxiufang, she did not care about He Xuan's identity as a noble of the Great Qin and a disciple of the True Immortal.

Hehe, for her own sake, do you think she would care about the City God family?

Don't be naive. The grudge between our Guan family and her will not be resolved so easily.

Today we play ostrich, and tomorrow when she has mastered her magical powers and can kill the ancestor with one sword, do you think she will swing that sword?
Do we dare to bet? If we lose the bet and she really swings the sword at us, we will lose our heads.

I heard that He Xuan’s soul didn’t even escape.”

Wen Danxia narrowed her eyes slightly, "Tianfeng, who did you meet this morning?"

Guan Tianfeng was startled, turned his head, and said unnaturally: "I have seen many people, in the streets, teahouses and taverns, countless people are talking about Sha Manyu.

Many people also lined up at Jixiang Street to pay tribute to the "No. 1 Bitch in East Shu".

I also went to take a look, and sure enough, there were huge crowds of people and a huge scene.

Almost everyone was praising Sha Manyu.

Even the street thugs gave him a thumbs up and said with admiration that Sha Manyu was a man of great integrity and fearlessness of power, and that he was a role model for their knights.

Wen Danxia sneered, "Those scoundrels who praise Yu Fengxian and the common people who are just watching the fun, will analyze with you one by one the reasons why Yu Fengxian cannot be let go?"

Guan Tianfeng stiffened her neck and said, "Mom, you just need to answer me, is my analysis correct?"

"With your hot temper and muddled brain, you can't even analyze one thing." Wen Danxia said in a deep voice: "Now you can speak so clearly in front of me, there must be someone instigating you.

Idiot, don't you understand?

He is using you, my Guan family, and our ancestors to deal with Yu Fengxian!"

Guan Tianfeng was stunned. "He is just an ordinary old monk. I whipped him so hard that he rolled on the ground seven or eight times, howling miserably. How could he use me?"

Wen Danxia pressed her temples, completely despairing of her daughter's IQ.

"Where is the old monk?"

Guan Tianfeng said: "He is lying in the stable in the backyard, groaning all the time. He should not be dead."

Wen Danxia's anger surged, her voice rose several degrees, and she cursed: "You stupid pig, how dare you bring that evil child into the house?"

Guan Tianfeng is not actually a complete fool, she is just spoiled. At least at this time, she knows that her mother is really angry.

She shrank her neck and whispered, "Didn't my daughter tell me that I whipped him.

He whined and begged me to have mercy and help him find a doctor.

I thought he was still of some use, so I asked Guan He to take him to the backyard to recuperate.

I didn't let him into the Guan family's front door, but carried him directly through the back door into the stable to live with my 'Fiery'."

Wen Danxia's expression changed several times and she was struggling inside.

Her reason told her that it was time to call Guan He in again, give the old monk a few gold bars, and then see him off respectfully.

Not to mention going to see him, even the three reasons why Yu Fengxian couldn't be let go that he told her through Tian Feng's mouth had to be forgotten immediately, or at least pretended that she had never heard them.

Afterwards, Tianfeng had to be sternly warned to stay at home obediently, not to go out, and not to think or say anything random.

Finally, they went to the ancestral temple to burn incense and inform the ancestors of everything.

But Wen Danxia's reason told her that those three reasons were too good and too reasonable.

She was not really oblivious to what was happening outside and only focused on being the mistress of the Guan family.

This morning, at the intersection of Jixiang Street and Lushui Lane, Yu Fengxian openly used her "Invincible Sword Bone" to counter Gu Jianxian's "hiding the sword in the body", and she knew it.

She also knew that Yu Fengxian used the Wang family's spiritual energy to recast the sword bone in Jianquan Mountain.

At that time, she felt hot in her heart and had the same thoughts as her daughter Tianfeng.

It’s just that she is more rational than Tianfeng and understands Guan Laozu’s character better.

Patriarch Guan cares about the Guan family, but he cares more about his position as City God.

Patriarch Guan cares about the Guan family, but her daughter Tianfeng is far from representing the entire Guan family.

Not to mention her daughter Tianfeng, now even the head of the family Guan Wenlong has almost been abandoned by the ancestor.

Probably the only member of the Guan family that the ancestor cares about is that damn Guan Huchen!

For the sake of a mere girl from the Guan family, the entire Guan family and Guan Patriarch himself would be at risk of destruction. Guan Patriarch would definitely not agree and would severely reprimand her and Tianfeng.

Even if she told the ancestor the third reason: Yu Fengxian will definitely be jealous of our Guan family when she knows the truth about "Song Changqing destroying her sword bone" in the future.

She believed that Master Guan would not be moved at all.

Because she understood Guan Laozu's plan very well: if Yu Fengxian really came to attack in the future, she, her daughter Tianfeng, her lover Guan Wenlong, and even their closest friends could all be sacrificed to appease Yu Fengxian's anger and truly eliminate the cause and effect between Yu Fengxian and the Guan family.

As long as Patriarch Guan is around and as long as the Guan family members are not all dead, no matter how heavy a blow they have suffered, in just twenty years, the Yingxiang Guan family will still be the most powerful in eastern Shu, and the family status and interests will not be affected in the slightest.

He, Guan Laozu, has firmly sat on the position of City God and watches the changing situation with a smile.

As for her, her daughter Tianfeng, and even her cousin Wenlong who were sacrificed, no one cared.

Just like Guan Laozu never cared about the Guan family members who were reincarnated after death.

——She and the Guan family, she and Grand Ancestor Guan, are different after all!

They have huge differences in fundamental interests.

Now she is faced with a choice: choose to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Guan family's ancestor and the Guan family, and gain nothing, or choose to sacrifice the Guan family's ancestor, fulfill her daughter, and also fulfill herself and her cousin Wenlong?

——I’m sorry, ancestor. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I am also learning from you!

Wen Danxia sighed and said in a hoarse voice that didn't sound like she was speaking it herself: "Tianfeng, go to the stable and ask the old monk to come over."
