Tan Tao also knew what he did was inappropriate, sighing slightly, “If the prince and little miss want to blame me then I have no choice. I know that I must be a scheming and vicious elder in your eyes. That is the truth, and I won’t argue. I just want the prince to know that all hearts in the world will lean towards something. Even the most righteous people are the same. They will be willing to let their family and friends have a better life. They don’t want them to face trouble. For example, little miss, if you had a bun and your mom and a stranger were starving would you give it to your mom or the stranger?”

Xuanyuan Yiren kept silent and didn’t speak, her expression not changing. However, the arm that she grabbed Zong Shou with had tightened. When Tan Tao saw that he laughed, “as expected from a pedantic person. If you said that you are going to be righteous and use the bun to save him I will kill you right here. If you don’t even care for the people close to you, why right do you have to talk about kindness and righteousness?”

Zong Shou’s brows raised up. Tan Tao was such an interesting person. Tan Tao continued, “in the past, I made enemies due to my rashness and was saved by the city lord who was roaming the central continent. A few years ago, with the help of the Gantian Mountain monster king, I was able to escape. In my eyes, the city lord saved me from his heart with no selfishness. Your father saved me with a reason. The difference between the two was obvious. The Gantian Mountain situation was chaotic. One might die if one wasn’t careful. Even the city lord might end up badly.

So I understood why the current Xuan Mountain City relied on Gantian Mountain for help and also why they stopped at nothing to let city lord and the city get out of that whirlpool. Even if I get scolded for forgetting kindness, I wouldn’t care.”

Zone Shou’s doubts were answered. However, even though he understood his reasoning, he still didn’t really like this person. He didn’t speak much and didn’t like to have close relationships with people.

The 2 of them didn’t stay for long here before moving to zhu Junhou’s residence.

However, at this place where he was most unlikely to be shut out, he was stopped from meeting Zhu Junhou.

Based on the explanation from general Zhu’s butler, the master was in secluded cultivation and said that if he couldn’t win a stupid brat and beat his ass he wouldn’t come out. As for who that brat was the butler didn’t mention.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but rub his nose and laugh bitterly. So Zhu Junhou, the general of Xuan Mountain City actually had such a bad temper, more than that of Luo Xian.

However, looking at the situation he wasn’t that angry.

Following which Xuanyuan Yiren led him to the front of the city lord manor and into the inner garden.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but think to himself, was this girl going to less him to see his mother in law, that would be a little awkward.

Although Li Sina didn’t say many bad things in front of him, he could see that she was arrogant and didn’t want to lose. After he stabbed her with a few words yesterday she might not be able to put down her face and meet him.

However, after they walked around a majestic looking fake mountain and stepped onto a lake of unknown scale, his eyes constructed.

Only to see that within the lake, in a really exquisite looking wooden pavilion, a young-looking robbed man sat beside the stone and looked excitedly at the scenery.

That face was one that Zong Shou was really familiar with. Not only was it in his 13 years of memory, but he also talked to him yesterday. Wasn’t it the Xuan Mountain City lord, the guy he scolded as someone trying to act young, his future father in law Xuanyuan Tong?

He couldn’t help but feel awkward and nervous, he could smile towards those life and death battles and not bat an eye, surging through the blades and knives. However, at this moment he suddenly felt like backing out, of fleeing. However, Xuanyuan Yiren stared deadly at him such that he couldn’t do so.

Thinking that going forward was a knife, backward was a knife, he gritted his teeth and walked over from the wooden corridor on the water.

Walking in front of Xuanyuan Tong, he bowed. Only to see him turn around and smile friendlily, waving his sleeves, “Sit down!”

Once Zong Shou sat down unceremoniously, he personally filled up 2 cups with a copper flask. One of which he personally pushed in front of Zong Shou. The liquid in the cup was amber in color, giving off a nice fragrance that would increase one’s appetite.

However, when Xuanyuan Tong raised the cup, Zong Shou said awkwardly, “Father in Law. go ahead, I can’t drink today.”

When Xuanyuan Tong heard that, he was happy. He shook his head, “Don’t you think I know that? Even if you want to drink, I wouldn’t let you. You might really beat up all my subordinates once more. Don’t worry, it’s just fruit juice!”

Zong Shou slightly relaxed, finishing it all in one mouthful. As expected although the taste was really sweet and delectable. It didn’t have the strength of alcohol from beer.

He sighed to himself, those days of drinking loads were far away from him now.

To think that he had searched for so much monkey wine that could become celestial brew to use to wash and train his body and clean out his meridians. But today he could only let Chuxue benefit from it.

Then, he judged Xuanyuan Tong, thinking that since his Father in law could walk out of that Tiegang Hall, did it mean that his hidden injuries and cultivation mistakes were clearer?

Speaking of which when Xuanyuan Tong sat within the pavilion he was actually one with the lake and heaven and earth, with no signs of sticking out.

Now in front of him, the energy he gave out wasn’t strong or weak, but really humble and gentle, stable and calm.

His true qi even without being suppressed by the Tiegang Hall was being hidden until it was unnoticeable.

Looking at the situation it seems like he had great improvement in the martial paths.

Taking another close look, only to see that his body didn’t have any injuries Nor any swelling. Only his 2 sleeves for some reason were really wide. He couldn’t help but took a sigh of relief, Xuanyuan Yiren, as expected, was just scaring him.

That Xuanyuan Tong had obviously comprehended heaven and earth, being able to step into the ascended in just tens of days more. How could he beat him?

“Your father didn’t like to drink. This fragrance cooling liquid was what he liked the most. I also heard that your Mother loved it a lot. Is it good?”

Seeing Zong Shou nod, Xuanyuan Tong smiled in satisfaction, going straight to the point, “The first reason I told Yiren to get you here is about her. I only have one daughter and I love her like a pearl. In the future she is yours, don’t wrong her. If not I’ll go all out to chop your head off!”

Before he finished, Zong Shou interrupted him, “Father in law doesn’t need to instruct me on this matter. I am a man, why would I wrong my own woman?”

Xuanyuan Tong broke out in a laugh, seeing that although Zong Shou didn’t swear, and was sitting quietly he gave off a sense of peace. It was like one could rely on him for anything, as though if the heavens collapsed, he could hold it up. His eyes lit up, his tone changing, “Let’s talk about another matter. Does the prince know about the Yin Dragon canyon?”

Zong Shou’s eyes constructed, looking right at Xuanyuan Tong, not knowing what he was getting at.

He naturally heard of Yin Dragon Canyon, and it was like thunder to his ears. When he was the sword emperor Tanqiu, he too had made a trip there.

In the God-Emperor game, it was a massive extension with a series of quests. It was also connected to tens of ancient treasures.

Xuanyuan Tong didn’t look at his expression, calmly describing, “Roughly 2 years ago, there was some news that spread from who knows where that there were treasures left by martial saints of the Cloud desolate era. Inside were many ancient martial art legacies. There were rumors that the book of universal eon life was inside. It caused an uproar with many of the Donglin Cloud Continent sects. All the cities west of it all…”

Zong Shou’s heart was raging, a book of eon extreme life?

In the last life, in the virtual world, he had obtained that book but suddenly fell unconscious.

Actually, during these few days, he had doubts. A spiritual technique book in the game, how could it make him appear in this era? Or were there other reasons?

“When the news was spread out it appeared a little strange. Weiran and I all sent people to investigate, choosing a specific date to avoid the Yin Dragon within to go deeper. We realized that there were indeed traces of ten thousand years ago. The rumors of that book of eon extreme life are most probably force but those treasures are there. And they should have appeared in the past few years.”

When Xuanyuan Tong said that, he laughed helplessly, “following which the other cities and sects all explored. All forces started to surge towards Gantian Mountain. The defeat of your Father was because of his expansion. He made enemies with many sects, and also this Yin Dragon Canyon.”

Zong Shou frowned slightly, he wasn’t so dumb to ask Xuanyuan Tong about what Zong Weiran being forced into Oblivion Cloud Ocean has to do with Yin Dragon Canyon.

The Yin Dragon Canyon was located at was 1300 miles south of Gantian Mountain. If Zong Weiran was still there and Gantian Mountain was at their peak—9 provinces working together—even Lingyun Sect had to take a step back. As the owner of the land, it could decide how most of the treasures are split. Even today, Gantian Mountain had a huge part to play, being preyed on by others was to be expected.

“The heavens really aren’t blessing your father, if he could have 10 more years to solidify the 9 provinces—swallowing Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain,—commanding tens of millions of Monster race to build a dynasty might have been possible. However, at such a crucial moment, a change occurred, making it tough for him to deal with it.”

Xuanyuan Tong sighed slightly, filled with unlimited empathy, continuing, “However your father was really decisive. When he saw that things didn’t work out, he gave up decisively. Half a year ago he found 3 formation breaking talismans and personally entered the dragon canyon. He was prepared to go all out to either find some treasures or remove the danger of the canyon. If he lacked ability he was ready to give up his position and avoid the attacks of the sects…”
