Chapter 208 Sunflower Ancestor

Due to their temperaments, Murong Fu did not teach Tie Xinlan and Zhang Jing the Mingyu Skill, but instead taught them the Nine Yin Manual, which led to significant progress for both women.

Gu Renyu witnessed the relationship between Murong Jiu and Murong Fu, and was heartbroken. However, because of her good relationship with Xiaoyuer and her desire to broaden her horizons, she did not leave.

However, the matter of the engagement was never mentioned again, and Gu Xiaomei was no longer by Murong Jiu's side.

After the battle with Yaoyue, the house was so badly damaged that the sounds could not be concealed. With so many people around, the news kept spreading.

There are all sorts of rumors, but the one that no one believed the most—that Murong Fu and Yaoyue clashed hands—was actually true.

On that day, many people thought it was impossible to practice medicine today, or even in the future.

Unexpectedly, that very evening, Murong Fu treated the remaining patients from that day.

After that, everything went as usual.

Within a few months, Murong Fu's reputation as a "miracle doctor" spread far and wide.

Murong Fu looked at the exploration points that had increased over the past few months:

[Peerless World: Exploration Progress 22%] (100% Charge)

Then, a portal opened, and they returned to the world of Tianlong.

For some reason, no matter which world Murong Fu went to, he only felt at home when he returned to the Tianlong world.

After thinking for a moment, Murong Fu felt that it was time to seize the family property, marry Murong Jiu, and truly make Jiuxiu Manor his own home. Staying there would be quite nice.

The main reason for returning to Tianlong World this time was to keep track of the dates, as Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju are all about to give birth, so naturally I had to come back early to be with them and make preparations.

Moreover, after fighting Yaoyue a few months ago, I discovered that I had a deeper, albeit subtle, understanding of the Mingyu Skill.

However, Murong Fu did not have that feeling when he was talking to Lianxing.

It's probably because Lianxing's strength isn't enough, and she doesn't have the same level of transformation as Yaoyue.

Unfortunately, since his battle with Yaoyue, there has been no news of him. It is likely that he went into seclusion to cultivate after discovering Murong Fu's strength.

For the past three months, Murong Fu had been pondering the Mingyu Skill, and he vaguely sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Previously, Murong Fu's breakthroughs were always without any obstacles, but upon closer reflection, from the fifth level of Mingyu Gong to now, although he has improved by two levels, he has only broken through from near-innate true qi to innate true qi. The subsequent realms are merely the accumulation of quantity.

The Grandmaster level represents a huge qualitative leap. I've only been in this world for a little over four years, so perhaps my time hasn't come yet.

However, based on his own strength, he was already no less than a grandmaster, so Murong Fu was not in a hurry.

Taking care of children, practicing martial arts, and accompanying mothers in labor—Murong Fu's life was filled with leisure and tranquility.

It was during this time, in Bianjing, that Tong Guan looked at the mountain of documents and papers before him, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

He said to the young eunuch in front of him, "The Emperor has ordered me to deal with Murong Fu."

At first, I thought he was just a greenhorn.

But if we don't investigate, it's fine; once we do investigate, it's completely impossible to find anything!

The Murong family, possessing the Canhe Manor and protected by the Qingyun Manor, Chixia Manor, Jinfeng Manor, and Xuanshuang Manor, owns most of the property in Gusu City. The prefects and governors there are all in cahoots with them, a corrupt and powerful clique. This is what makes a good official in our Great Song Dynasty.

The young eunuch said, "Father, no matter how powerful Murong Fu is, he only owns a few estates. We, on the other hand, have the talented and extraordinary people of the Song Dynasty, as well as cannons, cavalry, and sailors..."

Dealing with Murong Fu is as easy for you as it is for the Buddha to crush Sun Wukong.

Tong Guan, pleased with the young eunuch's flattery, closed his eyes and said with some satisfaction, "Not bad, you still listen to me, lad."

You've looked at quite a bit of that kid's information, haven't you?

But don't spend all your time reading storybooks.

Look at this.

Then, Tong Guan casually tossed out a booklet and said:

"Murong Fu has a large following. In addition to those people in Suzhou, he also has several hundred adopted sons who are skilled in martial arts. They are now distributed in escort agencies and shops all over the country."

Even the Great Song Dynasty wasn't enough for him; he also conquered Dali and the Great Liao.

"Wow, this Murong Fu... he really knows how to fight."

The young eunuch flipped through the booklet that Tong Guan had given him and was quite surprised to hear these secrets. He hadn't expected Murong Fu's power to have reached such a level.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dear father, how about we... to deal with these martial arts bastards, our Sunflower Guard's methods are not bad either."

As the young eunuch spoke, he made a chop gesture towards Tong Guan. Tong Guan squinted at the young eunuch and coldly said:

"How could we not know? But this Murong Fu is the leader of the martial arts alliance."

He once caused trouble at Shaolin Temple and escaped unscathed; his martial arts skills are unfathomable. He must be a master of innate martial arts.

Even we're not confident we can win him over.

After hearing this, Xiao Tai was also anxious. He had been promoted all the way because of Tong Guan's appreciation.

Although his martial arts skills were lacking and his professional abilities were mediocre, he was first-rate at flattery and coming up with ideas, and Tong Guan even praised him for his quick wit.

After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "Dear father, how about we send someone to poison him?"

The information I read said that Murong Fu liked to eat this, so they poisoned him to death.

Tong Guan sighed and said, "This Murong Fu is no ordinary person either."

A few years ago, before it had become a force to be reckoned with, our Sunflower Guard sent people to work as cooks and servants, hoping to infiltrate and become spies.

In the past few years, only two servants have managed to infiltrate the ranks, and both of them were from the outer courtyard.

They didn't even manage to sneak into the kitchen.

Moreover, neither of them had martial arts skills. At Murong Fu's level, there were many capable people under his command, and anyone with martial arts skills could be easily identified.

On the contrary, his escort agencies and shops that require martial arts skills are easy to place—heh, you can leave now, I need some peace and quiet.

After the young eunuch left, Tong Guan sat alone for a long time.

He then left the mansion and went to the inner palace, but instead of going to see Emperor Zhao Xu, he went to a secluded study.

There was only one eunuch guarding the place, and it was extremely deserted.

Although Tong Guan was a powerful eunuch who had gained the emperor's favor, he was extremely respectful to the young eunuch.

"Third Master, our family wishes to see the Ancestor. Could you please inform him?"

When the third eunuch saw Tong Guan arrive, he immediately stood up and, upon hearing the purpose of the visit, respectfully said, "Yes, Eunuch Tong."

They then walked slowly into the depths.

After a while, the young eunuch slowly walked back and said, "The Master invites Eunuch Tong in."

Tong Guan knew the rules, so he slowly followed the little eunuch inside.

After turning several corners, we finally arrived at a quiet room. Upon opening the door, we saw two large red lacquered pillars on the opposite side, and in the middle was a large white wall with a magnificent landscape painting hanging on it.

Below the painting is an old eunuch with white hair and eyebrows, dressed in a crimson robe adorned with fine gold thread, exuding extreme luxury.

A small tea table was set up in front of him, and tea was being brewed.

Although he was a eunuch, there was one thing that made him stand out: he had a thick beard around his chin, which was quite inconsistent with his status.

Tong Guan was moved to tears when he saw that the patriarch had grown a beard. He called out to the patriarch and then kowtowed repeatedly.

This old eunuch, named "Sunflower Ancestor," was the ballast stone of the Song Dynasty imperial palace.

No one knows his exact age, but Tong Guan knows that when he first entered the palace, this old ancestor was already sitting here, and the place has remained unchanged for decades, except that the old ancestor has grown a beard.

As a eunuch, Tong Guan studied the "Sunflower Manual" passed down by his ancestor, so he naturally knew what it meant for his ancestor to grow a beard.

I had heard from my fellow disciples that if a eunuch cultivated martial arts to the highest level, he could reshape his physical body, grow that precious treasure, and become a complete and real man.

This is the realm that all eunuchs dream of.

Over the years, Tong Guan has gradually gained experience. All the eunuchs around him, regardless of rank, have left one by one, but he has never seen any eunuchs grow back.

So he abandoned that idea and only thought about serving the country and relieving the emperor's worries, so that he could be promoted and bring glory to his family.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw the ancestor's beard, as if he had seen an iron tree bloom and water flow backward, and the distant hope in his heart suddenly ignited.

That's why I was so excited.

"Get up, good boy."

"What brings you here this time?"

Tong Guan suppressed his excessive joy, stood up respectfully, and said:

"Grand Ancestor, His Majesty has ordered me to deal with Murong Fu, but I've investigated his background... I'm afraid it won't be easy to do anything about him. What do you say...?"

.

The Sunflower Ancestor opened his narrow eyes, but they seemed to squint. He raised his delicate fingers and scooped up the freshly brewed tea from the table, holding it gracefully between his thumb and middle finger. He then took a small sip and said:

"Don't touch him for the next two years, step down."

Tong Guan immediately took his leave without lingering.

After the young eunuch took his leave, he closed the door and led Cai Jing out the way they had come from.

After a long pause, the Sunflower Ancestor said softly, "Little Xuanzi, do you know why I wouldn't let him touch Murong Fu?"

Then a childish voice came, "The Ancestor naturally has his reasons. Little Xuanzi is not as smart as the Ancestor, so naturally he can't guess it."

The old ancestor, hearing this crude flattery, made no further comment and calmly said:

"Hehe, that Murong Fu is quite something. I wonder what kind of extraordinary encounter he's had. He defeated that old monk at Shaolin a few years ago, and now..."

He possesses the strength of a grandmaster.

In two more years, I will be able to break through to a level above the Sunflower Manual, and my martial arts will reach a new level, crushing ordinary grandmasters. Naturally, there is no need for me to fight to the death with Murong Fu at this moment.

It would be unwise to offend a grandmaster when you're not confident.

"Our ancestor is wise. Once the divine skill is fully mastered, we will surely be able to wipe out those worthless scoundrels in one fell swoop."

"Hahaha."

After Tong Guan left, his face was gloomy. He could not disobey His Majesty's orders, nor could he ignore the instructions of the Ancestor.

After returning to his residence, he brewed a pot of hot tea, took a sip, and then let out a long sigh.

He realized that he only had one option left: stall.
