Guo Shier briefly explained what had happened. Luo Zhan cursed angrily, "I can't believe there's such a bastard. I'm not doing it either."
Nan You grabbed Luo Zhan's sleeve and said, "Brother Luo, Uncle Luo, please help persuade him. Don't add oil to the fire, sigh …"
Luo Zhan said, "That Nan Zhiren from your clan must be sick in the head. I've never seen such an idiot before."
Nan You was also helpless. "He's used to being arrogant," he said. "I can't do anything about it. He's the ancestor of another branch."
Guo Shier knew what was going on. He understood that this was a conflict within the clan, and he was just a victim. He had wanted to leave at first because it was too dangerous here. Aside from the conflict between the two ancient clans, there were also internal conflicts within the clan. He didn't want to get involved at all.
At this moment, the Nanqiang Ancestor walked in shakily with the help of his walking stick. "Shier, Shier!" he called.
Guo Shier knew that this guy was pretending to be old and pitiful. He had seen the dispute between the Nanqiang Ancestor and Jin Longqing with his own eyes. At that time, the Nanqiang Ancestor didn't look old at all. He was full of energy and looked terrifying.
"Ancestor, why are you here?" he asked, playing dumb.
The Nanqiang Ancestor gently patted his waist and said, "Sigh, I'm old now. My waist and legs can't take it anymore. Shier, I've come to apologize to you."
Guo Shier felt a headache coming on. He said, "Not really, not really. I just want to leave here for my own reasons."
The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "I know, I know. Sigh, Shier, it's our Gunan Clan's fault this time. Whether you stay or leave, it's all our fault."
Guo Shier's head hurt even more. The Nanqiang Ancestor had lowered himself and apologized profusely. Guo Shier couldn't be too arrogant and could only say, "Ancestor, can I think about it?" He had no choice but to stall for time.
The Nanqiang Ancestor was a sly fellow. He nodded. "Alright, alright. Right, I've prepared some materials for you. Yes, Nan Zhiren will pay for them …"
Guo Shier was taken aback. "Damn, there's such a good thing? Since they've delivered themselves to our doorstep … should we extort them? "
A Handsome Old Man wasn't interested in other things, but when it came to materials, he would jump out. The handsome old man said, "Brat, take a look and see what materials you have … If there are any good things that are hard to find, then just agree." He used his soul fluctuations, so outsiders couldn't hear him.
Guo Shier couldn't help but ask, "Are you kidding me? A few materials can buy you over?"
The handsome old man said, "Bullshit! "What do you mean by some materials? Don't you know how rare they are? Go ask around and see what they have!"
"A Handsome Old Man," Guo Shier laughed bitterly. "You're even more of a money-grubber than I am." He had been cornered by A Handsome Old Man and could only say, "Yes, I just happen to need some materials. Ancestor, can you help me gather some?"
The Nanqiang Ancestor heaved a sigh of relief. "As long as you need the materials, it'll be easy in the future." He agreed immediately. "No problem, no problem. Why don't you give me a list?"
Nan You was dumbfounded. He had tried to persuade Guo Shier for a long time but to no avail. The Ancestor had convinced Guo Shier with just a few words. The Ancestor was mighty! The Ancestor was worth two!
Guo Shier grinned, and the Nanqiang Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, This guy better not ask for too much.
A Handsome Old Man immediately tossed out a talisman. It appeared above Guo Shier's head and flew in front of the Nanqiang Ancestor. Guo Shier was flabbergasted. He knew that this was A Handsome Old Man's doing. He couldn't help but grumble to himself, This old man's table manners are too unsightly.
The Nanqiang Ancestor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy wasn't humble at all and had just tossed out a list. He picked up the talisman and examined it. His brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly smiled. "Alright, I'll go back and gather some … you can stay here and wait for my news."
Guo Shier didn't even know what was written on the talisman. He could only bow and say, "Sorry to trouble you, Ancestor."
The Nanqiang Ancestor added, "Nan You, take good care of the elder." Then he turned and left.
A Handsome Old Man popped his head out and said, "Oh, he actually accepted the list … amazing! As expected of an ancient family! "
Guo Shier's heart skipped a beat. "A Handsome Old Man, what materials did you list?"
Only then did Nan You realize that the list wasn't made by Guo Shier, but by his Guardian Spirit, A Handsome Old Man. He couldn't help but sigh. If I had such a caring Guardian Spirit, how wonderful would that be … Ah, forget it, this is a dream. It's impossible. He was so envious that he could die. He had never seen such a clever guy before.
The handsome old man smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just want a few natural runes … Oh, that's right, it's not a copy …"
Guo Shier stumbled and stammered, "A … a few? Damn, A Handsome Old Man, you're too ruthless … "
The handsome old man said indifferently, "Little fool, you've underestimated the ancient clan. An ancient clan that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years has a foundation that you can't imagine. Do you think that everyone is as poor as you, with nothing … Don't worry, since he's willing to take my order, he'll definitely be able to gather the materials."
Guo Shier was speechless, but he was still very happy. After going to so many continents and secret realms, he now knew that the secret realms near the low-level continents had many rare materials. In contrast, the high-level continents or the continents occupied by the ancient families had very few rare materials. This was similar to some places in his previous world — poor, remote, and undeveloped, but there were many good things.
The camp became more and more lively, and a large number of disciples returned every day. Because they had to evacuate, all the disciples had to retreat from their respective camps. Later, Guo Shier found out that the Gujin family had allied with another ancient family. The two families fought against the Gunan family, and many experts died, forcing the Gunan family to retreat and give up on this secret realm.
All the disciples of the Gunan family retreated into the Great Hidden Fortress and returned to the camp in batches. In other words, they had left Yamata Heaven. Of course, there were still many altar level experts left in Yamata Yamata Heaven.
Five days later, the Falconer successfully came out of his seclusion. He had successfully constructed his illusory altar. As a result, Guo Shi 'er's strength soared. With a professional of the Illusory Altar following him, not only did he have one less burden, but he also had a helper.
Guo Shier's group followed the disciples of the Gunan family back to the Great Hidden Fortress.
Three days after returning to the Great Hidden Fortress, the Nanqiang Ancestor came with the Nanqin ancestor. This time, he didn't summon Guo Shier to see him. The strength Guo Shier had displayed was enough to make these ancestors look at him in a new light.
The place where Guo Shi 'er lived was a very large courtyard, and there were many disciples of the Gunan family serving as servants. One day, a servant came in and reported, "Elder, the ancestors of the family are here to see you." He still didn't understand why the two ancestors would come to see a guest elder.
Guo Shier said lightly, "Oh, invite them in."
The attendant bowed and left, muttering in his heart, "This clan elder is really arrogant." He didn't know that the Nanqiang Ancestor was trying to curry favor with Guo Shier.
The Nanqiang Ancestor and the Nanqin ancestor walked in. Guo Shier smiled and went up to them, saying, "Greetings, ancestors."
Nan Yu followed behind the two old ancestors. Behind him was a little girl, Nan Jiao, whom he had met before. Beside her was the Snow Wolf King. Nan Jiao loved the Snow Wolf King to the bone, so she also had a good impression of Guo Shier. When she heard that the ancestors were coming to Guo Shier's place, she insisted on coming.
The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "Don't stand on ceremony. These are the materials you wanted and the family's reward."
Guo Shier didn't expect the Nanqiang Ancestor to really agree to these materials. He asked, "The family's reward?"
Nan You explained. "You captured a group of disciples of the Gu Jin Clan in the Eastern Grasslands that day, and you used them to exchange for many disciples of the clan this time. Besides that, you even saved a group of disciples, and all of these are rewards from the clan."
The Nanqiang Ancestor took out a dozen talisman pouches and placed them in front of Guo Shier.
Guo Shier was shocked. He communicated with A Handsome Old Man telepathically and asked, "A Handsome Old Man! How many materials did you ask for? A dozen talisman pouches! "
A Handsome Old Man replied, "Haha, you really brought them? Damn, the Gujin family is really powerful. Haha, kid, you're rich. I didn't expect them to really give you these … Ah, haha. "In his excitement, he even learned Guo Shier's words.
Guo Shier said, "A Handsome Old Man, if we take these things, we won't be able to leave. We might even have to participate in the family's struggle. Do we really want to take them?" He was very hesitant.
A Handsome Old Man shouted, "Rascal, hurry up and take them. You little idiot, if you collect them yourself, don't even think about it for a few decades … It's worth it even if you stay here for a few more years. There are some materials that you can't collect even if you find them. Hurry up and take them!"
Guo Shier knew that he couldn't agree too quickly, but he was confused by A Handsome Old Man's argument. He reached for the talisman pouches. Every pouch was full. He didn't know how A Handsome Old Man had written the list. It was like a robbery.
The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "Fortunately, the family was able to gather them. Some materials … haha, most professionals today don't know how to use them. Only ancient professionals do. It took a lot of effort to find them in the family's storage." He was also very curious.
Guo Shier didn't know what to say. He also didn't know what ancient professionals needed. Those were the things that A Handsome Old Man wanted. However, he had once said to A Handsome Old Man, "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine." Therefore, what A Handsome Old Man wanted was what he wanted. There was no contradiction.
Guo Shier nodded. "Alright, I'll take them."
Nanqiang Ancestor smiled. "Most of them were taken from Nan Zhiren's family. Consider it as compensation and apology."
Guo Shier chuckled. "If that's the case … then I won't stand on ceremony." He swept away all the talisman pouches in front of him, causing Nan You's eyelids to twitch.
The Nanqiang Ancestor smiled. "That's good."
Guo Shier thought, There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. After giving so much, it's time to state his conditions. Let's hear what he has to say.
