“Master Ma, I’ll visit you again later…”
Wan Yunting, along with his parents, personally saw off Ma Jianguo and Ma Zhendong’s family, as well as Pang Yuan and Kang Hongwen’s families.
“Alright, come to my place another time…”
Ma Jianguo said as he got into the car. Wan Yunting waved goodbye to Ma Zhendong and the others, watching them leave…
“Yunting, Brother Zhixin, we’re heading back too.”
Gu Yingbo, with his foreign wife Ella, and his father Gu Yuanbai also came. Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao were also returning with them.
Since Gu Yingbo and the others were returning home, Gu Luotang hadn’t had a proper reunion with her father and his family yet. She planned to go back first and then visit Wan Yunting with Qi Miaomiao during the New Year.
“Okay, be careful on your way…”
Wan Yunting saw them into the car, reminding the driver, and then watched them depart…
“Yunting, don’t you have an Elder Jiang who’s indebted to you? Why didn’t he come tonight?”
Ou Yangzhixin, who was following Wan Yunting inside, asked.
Wan Yunting replied, “Elder Jiang and his family have returned to their hometown for the New Year. I only found out today.”
“So that’s how it is. After the New Year, we’ll see if there’s a chance to invite him over for a gathering again.” Ou Yangzhixin nodded.
“Mm…”
Wan Yunting nodded and entered the living room with his parents. His father-in-law, Fang Guowen, and Du Xiumei were still in the living room playing with their granddaughter, who was about to fall asleep. Grandfather Fang Shoushan had already gone upstairs to rest.
Fang Guowen and his wife were staying overnight and would return the next day.
“Third brother, we’ll take Wan’er back to rest first.”
Second brother carried the exhausted and sleepy Wan’er, while second sister-in-law Wang Chulin held their son, preparing to leave.
“Alright, second brother, second sister-in-law, I’ll see you out…”
“No need, it’s just a short walk…”
After second brother and second sister-in-law left, Wan Yunting continued to chat with his father-in-law, Fang Guowen, about the changes in Hua Du City over the past six months. He got so interested that he even wrote a few more calligraphy pieces, and Wan Yunting wrote a few couplets for him…
The next morning.
Wan Yunting woke up at six o’clock and went to the summit of the Sacred Hall to meditate and practice. By nine o’clock, he returned home and had breakfast with his family before enjoying his leisure time.
In two more years, it would be the New Year, and everyone had already taken time off, so they were all idle.
Around noon, Su Ke’er was personally brought over by her elder brother, Su Xing’an.
“Brother Yunting…”
Su Ke’er threw herself into Wan Yunting’s arms, overjoyed.
Wan Yunting looked at Su Xing’an, his brother-in-law, and smiled after letting Su Ke’er go, “Why are you here too?”
Su Xing’an helped carry Su Ke’er’s luggage and smiled at Wan Yunting, “I’m in Hua Du City on some business, so I brought Ke’er to you.”
“Business?”
Wan Yunting looked at him suspiciously, which made Su Xing’an smile embarrassedly and say, “Don’t worry, I’m definitely not here to ask for your help.”
“Alright, then you can go back.” Wan Yunting took the suitcase from his hand and waved him away.
Su Xing’an was stunned and couldn’t help but say indignantly, “Hey, I’m Ke’er’s elder brother. Can’t you at least invite me in for a cup of tea?”
“Oh, brother, hurry up and go.”
Su Ke’er turned and gave him a glare, then linked her arm with Wan Yunting’s and went inside.
“Fine, a daughter who marries out is like spilled water…”
Su Xing’an sighed in dejection and turned to leave.
“Just kidding, come in.” Wan Yunting smiled back at him.
Su Xing’an’s eyes lit up, and he cheerfully followed.
“Ke’er, you’re here…”
Xia Xiangyun, who was taking care of her granddaughter in the yard, smiled happily and greeted Su Ke’er.
“Auntie…”
Su Ke’er also ran over happily. Looking at the baby girl in the stroller, she couldn’t help but tease her chubby, cute little face and say, “Her eyes are so big.”
“Heh, just like yours, both have big eyes.” Xia Xiangyun said with a smile, looking at Su Ke’er’s big eyes.
“Hee hee.”
Su Ke’er laughed happily, crouched down, and teased her daughter, “Say ‘Godmother’…”
This scene was seen by Fang Yanxi, who had just come out. She said softly, “She can’t even call me ‘Mommy,’ and you want her to call you ‘Godmother.’ If you like her so much, have one of your own.”
“Hee hee, Sister Yanxi…”
Su Ke’er smiled shyly, then turned her head to glance at Wan Yunting, who was bringing her elder brother Su Xing’an in, her big, beautiful eyes staring at him intently…
“Cough…”
Wan Yunting, how could he not feel the fierce gaze of this girl? He immediately took Su Xing’an to the tea pavilion. He saw his father, Ou Yangzhixin, brewing a pot of tea, drinking it, and video chatting with some family elders on his laptop, discussing family business matters.
“Yunting, come and greet your Uncle Zhihui and the others.”
Ou Yangzhixin saw Wan Yunting approach and waved him over with a smile. He glanced at Su Xing’an but said nothing.
“Uncle Zhihui…”
Wan Yunting went over and greeted the family elders connected via video, then chatted and laughed with them.
As for Su Xing’an, he sat awkwardly to the side. Ou Yangzhixin picked up the teapot and refilled his teacup. Su Xing’an was flattered and smiled, “Thank you, President Ou Yang…”
Ou Yangzhixin’s expression was calm, and he asked, “I have a general understanding of your family’s situation. After the New Year, have your father come to the capital!”
Su Xing’an was stunned by these words, but his heart was instantly filled with joy. He repeatedly nodded and smiled obsequiously, “Yes, yes, yes, thank you, President Ou Yang.”
Ou Yangzhixin waved his hand at him and said, “Call me Uncle Xin. Don’t be so formal from now on.”
“Okay, Uncle Xin, I’ll substitute tea for wine, thank you…”
Su Xing’an cupped the teacup with both hands, his face beaming with unconcealed joy. He raised it to Ou Yangzhixin and drank it in one gulp…
Although the Su family in Shenzhen was considered a first-class group before, and could overlook Shenzhen.
However, after the incident with the Gao family’s Gao Zhe, the Su family was implicated and suppressed in various ways, causing their group to fall to a third-class group, or even worse.
Wan Yunting had previously helped the Su family out of consideration for Ke’er.
Now, their group was also steadily rising, aiming to return to the ranks of first-class groups.
However, Wan Yunting was not fond of the Su family!
It could be said that Su Ke’er’s father, for the sake of their family’s interests, had forcefully pushed Ke’er into a marriage alliance with Gao Zhe of the Gao family, which led to so many events.
Although Su Ke’er said nothing, Wan Yunting knew that the Su family had been pushing for it, all in an attempt to latch onto the Ou Yang family and make their Su family flourish.
Therefore, Wan Yunting disliked interacting with Su Ke’er’s family. Fortunately, Ke’er, this girl, didn’t have so many ulterior motives. His help to the Su family was all because of his relationship with Ke’er.
And Ou Yangzhixin’s willingness to help the Su family was also due to his son’s relationship with Su Ke’er.
Knowing that Su Ke’er was already his future daughter-in-law, he should still help where he could…
Su Xing’an didn’t stay long and got up to leave.
After a simple lunch, since Fang Yanxi, Gu Luotang, Su Ke’er, and Qi Miaomiao had arranged to go shopping for New Year’s goods, and had also invited Jiang Peipei, Huang Yuqing, and Ya Nan, Wan Yunting naturally had to accompany them.
During this period, the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult had been too quiet. Wan Yunting had a bad premonition, so he didn’t want any accidents to happen during the New Year.
H country, behind the headquarters of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult, there was a grand hall built on a cliff, which was the Main God’s sleeping quarters.
Boom!
A loud noise startled all the followers in the headquarters, and they rushed towards the Main God’s sleeping quarters.
“Ah, why did it fail?”
The Main God, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, with a head of wild white hair, erupted with a terrifying and intimidating aura, smashing everything in the sleeping quarters.
Because his self-created secret technique had not allowed him to open his Heavenly Eye and break through to the realm of Invincible Divinity.
He was angry, unwilling that the secret technique he created would fail. Not only that, but it also caused his cultivation to regress.
“Main God, please calm your anger…”
The new priest and the high-ranking followers of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult all knelt down, trembling.
“Ah…”
The furious Main God lost his mind. With a roar, he grabbed forward with his large hand. Immediately, three kneeling followers’ faces were filled with terror. They were lifted by an invisible internal force that formed a large hand, choking their necks.
“Main God, no…”
The priest and the others cried out in alarm, not expecting the Main God’s self-created secret technique to fail and make him so enraged.
“Bastards, it must be a problem with the sacrifices you selected that caused my secret technique to fail. I will kill you useless trash…!”
The Main God was furious and tore apart the three followers on the spot. The terrifying internal energy shattered their blood into mist, and the air was filled with a strong scent of blood.
“Ah! Main God, don’t…”
The new priest screamed and was grabbed by the neck from a distance by the Main God’s hand, his face filled with extreme terror.
“Godfather…”
At this moment, Jian Shisan rushed in. Seeing this scene, his heart trembled, and he became fearful. But he still mustered the courage to shout at the Main God, “Godfather, isn’t there still Wan Yunting’s Thirteen Ghost Needles? As long as we get the Thirteen Ghost Needles, we can definitely let you open your Heavenly Eye and cultivate divine power. Godfather, please calm your anger…!”
The masked Main God’s terrifying eyes stared directly at Jian Shisan, and his body exuded a terrifying aura, like a great mountain, pressing Jian Shisan to his knees. He trembled and said, “Also, Godfather, the people from the Demonic Cult have appeared! Their current leader, Ye Qianqian, is at our headquarters and wants to cooperate with us to obtain the Demonic Pool and the Demonic Heaven Skill of the Demonic Cult!”
As soon as he said this, the Main God’s uncontrolled emotions were brought back. He let go of the priest, stared at Jian Shisan, and said, “Isn’t the Demonic Pool of the Demonic Cult lost ages ago?”
“Yes…”
Jian Shisan lowered his head and first narrated how the major sects besieged the Demonic Cult during this period, then the峨眉派 (Emei Sect), how the people of the major sects forced the leader of the Demonic Cult to death, and the speculation that Yin Baisu had accurately informed Wan Yunting of the location of their Demonic Pool to the Main God.
“Wan Yunting!”
The Main God flicked his sleeve, turned around, and sat on the main seat of the hall. The priest and the others knelt beside him, trembling, not daring to breathe.
“Godfather, people from the major sects all believe that Wan Yunting knows the exact location of the Demonic Pool.”
Jian Shisan knelt in the middle, slightly raising his head to look at the Main God seated above. He said excitedly, “Also, the current leader of the Demonic Cult, Ye Qianqian, has always believed that Wan Yunting knows the location of the Demonic Pool, so she came to me, wanting to cooperate with our Heavenly Eye Main God Cult to deal with Wan Yunting and find out the whereabouts of the Demonic Pool from him!”
The Main God narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Legend has it that the Demonic Pool of the Demonic Cult was formed by the blood condensed after the divine dragon fell. If one bathes and cultivates in it, they can achieve unparalleled divine power and reach the realm of Invincible Divinity!”
