Today's fourth update! Finally completed … I didn't expect to be able to sleep early today …
Bai Qi Feng and the rest of the Holy Emperors may have high Xuan Qi cultivation, but they would forever be lone wolves. Although this situation ensured that their cultivation would increase very quickly, it also meant that they would never understand the power struggle between the large families.
That was a form of politics!
The Misty Mansion was actually a very different country!
Once politics was involved, then unless they were charged with treason, it was impossible to completely wipe out a family like the Zhan Family that had lasted for close to ten thousand years!
In fact, even the owner of the Misty Mansion might not be willing to let the Zhan Family disappear just like that. Because if one party suddenly disappeared, it would definitely break the balance of power that had been maintained for thousands of years. Then, the Misty Mansion would need a very long time to recover. In fact, it was not impossible for there to be a transfer of power because of this …
But these were all things that only the upper echelons of the ruling class would consider!
Compared to Bai Qi Feng and the rest of the Holy Emperors, these things were more profound. It was understandable that they did not understand!
After breakfast, it was almost late in the morning when Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng walked in with a dark expression on his face. With one look, it was obvious that this matter did not achieve the good results that he had originally hoped for …
"Those old bastards from the Zhan Family! This is really infuriating! Despicable, shameless, and filthy to the extreme! He actually pushed all the responsibility onto those guards who carried out the assassination … saying that those guards refused to comply with the Zhan Family's rules, and that their family members had also been severely punished by the Zhan Family because of their mistakes. This time, they acted on their own out of dissatisfaction and attempted to kill Jun Ye, framing the Zhan Family to achieve their goal of revenge … "
"What a clean explanation! How did they come up with it? According to their logic, the Zhan Family had turned into an innocent family! Even the victim! Who would believe such words? " Cao Guo Feng blew his beard until it was straight. "Confusing right and wrong, inverting black and white, calling a deer a horse, this family can actually reach such a level of shamelessness! This old man has really broadened my horizons! No wonder they can become the number one family of the Misty Mansion! "
"What a f * cking fart!" Bai Qi Feng exploded. "If those guards are really disobedient, would they still dare to entrust the safety of the two most important disciples of their family to them? The six of them were all Venerable experts, yet they didn't listen to him? Who the hell would believe such bullshit! Are you trying to fool a three-year-old? "
"But the truth is as such. Because the Zhan Family claimed that they were not strict in their upbringing and management, such a huge matter happened. The Manor Lord ordered Zhan Wu Yun to go back and reorganize the family, and to strictly discipline the family … In the end … the matter was left unsettled …" Cao Guo Feng was a little puzzled and depressed. He slapped his thigh fiercely …
Bai Qi Feng was even more indignant. "I'll go find the Manor Lord right now! He couldn't let this matter go just like that! If he doesn't give us a satisfactory explanation, this old … I'll just barge into the Zhan Family's mansion. I can't play tricks, but can't I beat people up? "
"Calm down, if you continue to cause trouble like this, even if we're in the right, we won't be in the right anymore … Actually, the Manor Lord has also compensated us. He allowed Jun Ye to enter the Inner Pavilion's library twice a month to browse through the books. Other than that, the Manor Lord did not wait for the Zhan Family to request for permission to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. He even allowed the seven of us to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens together … Also, he ordered the Zhan Family to take out a divine weapon as compensation for Jun Ye …"
As he spoke, Cao Guo Feng's interest waned.
"This is what the Free and Natural Physique deserves! What kind of compensation is this? The only good thing is that the seven of us can enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens … This old man would rather not go in! What's so good about entering that broken place? To actually treat it like a treasure, what kind of joke is this? Those Zhan Family bastards are nothing, and the Manor Lord doesn't even know what's right and wrong. How disappointing … "Bai Qi Feng said angrily.
"Just be content with what you have! It's not easy for the Manor Lord either. Actually, speaking of this matter, the most unlucky ones are still not us. Our Jun Ye still received quite a few compensations, but the Manor Lord's family is even more depressed than us … "
Cao Guo Feng sighed. "We've all heard from Jun Ye that Jun Ye was not the only one who suffered an assassination attempt last night. Old Miao's precious daughter also happened to be there, and her shock was no less than Jun Ye's. But that lass did not get anything, and did not even mention it … "
"Not easy my ass, how could he mistreat his own granddaughter?"
Bai Qi Feng glared at him, revealing an aura of a hoodlum. "Big Brother, aren't you a little too … stupid? You just believe whatever the Manor Lord says? Who knows, many of the benefits that originally belonged to Jun Ye were kept by that old thing and given to his own granddaughter. It's hard to know a man's heart, you … "
"Nonsense! Shut your mouth! "Cao Guo Feng's face turned fierce." What are you saying? How can the Manor Lord be that kind of person? Furthermore … wasn't that brat the one who seduced the Manor Lord's daughter? Even the Manor Lord could do nothing about it. Right now, the Miao Family is also in a mess. How would they have the time to ask the Zhan Family for compensation? "
"Seduced someone's granddaughter? That Miao Xiao Miao? The number one beauty of the younger generation in the Misty Mansion? " Bai Qi Feng's eyes widened even more. Seeing Cao Guo Feng nodding with a black face, Bai Qi Feng burst into laughter after a long time, slapping Jun Moxie's shoulder.
"Good lad! You're really something! It's only been a few days, and you've already taken down the Manor Lord's granddaughter! This kind of super speed, as expected of the Free and Natural Physique ah … "
Jun Moxie's face darkened. What has this got to do with the Free and Natural Physique? Besides, what have I done? I didn't even make any moves! And, was it me who took her down? She was the one who took me down! Do you think I did it willingly? Who am I going to complain to?!
"Alright, alright. The few of you hurry up and pack up. The Manor Lord and the rest of the aristocratic families heard that there was a miracle here and insisted on coming over to take a look. They should be arriving soon." Cao Guo Feng hurriedly instructed.
Actually, there wasn't much to tidy up here. Apart from the bamboo forest and grass that had been purposely left out, the rest had already been trampled flat by the few brothers …
However, the effect of the Power of Wood didn't seem to be over yet. Who knew when a bamboo shoot would pop up from the ground. If there was someone sitting on the ground, and it just so happened to be a good spot, it would be quite lively …
Sure enough, it didn't take long before a group of old fellows in white clothes arrived together as if they were riding on the clouds.
The Miao Family, the Zhan Family, the Li Family, the Gu Family, the Meng Family, the Qiu Family, the Yun Family, the Zhang Family, the eight aristocratic families of the Misty Mansion. Together with the Manor Lord of the Misty Mansion, Miao Jing Yun, there were a total of nine people. In addition to the seven Holy Emperors, the entire courtyard was filled to the brim.
Although Miao Jing Yun was also a member of the Miao Family, apart from being the Manor Lord of the Misty Mansion, he could no longer be the Miao Family Head. In fact, he could not even consider himself a member of the Miao Family. Thus, the Miao Family Head was someone else.
Seeing the Scarlet Jade Ginseng and Purple Ganoderma Green Essence that the few Holy Emperors took out, everyone clicked their tongues in wonder. Any one of them was a knowledgeable person. If there was anything fake, it naturally wouldn't be able to hide from their eyes. Furthermore, these heavenly treasures that Holy Emperor Cao and the rest had taken out were all good stuff, and definitely not something that could be easily obtained. Looking at the quality of the items, it was easy for them to determine the foundation!
Looking at the courtyard full of Xiaoxiang Phoenix Tails, many of them revealed looks of envy in their eyes. This kind of pure rural scenery was definitely not something that could be created by artificial cultivation …
Speaking of which, these nine old men were all old friends that frequently came here for a stroll or two. It could be said that they were not unfamiliar with Cao Guo Feng's courtyard at all. Previously, a few of these old fellows had thought that Cao Guo Feng was just exaggerating, purposely exaggerating about his precious disciple with the Free and Natural Physique, creating some sort of 'miracle' so that it would be easier to promote his disciple.
But now that they saw it with their own eyes, they instantly believed it.
There was no other reason. No one had the ability to make a small patch of bamboo grow into a bamboo forest in a single night. Just this fact alone was enough to convince everyone! Not to mention those freshly baked Heavenly Treasures!
The evidence was not limited to these. The vines surrounding the walls had thickened by several layers in a single night, and the ones in the innermost area had already withered. If one counted carefully, there were at least a hundred layers of vines. A hundred years in a single night was probably the most conservative estimate …
The walls of Cao Guo Feng's original courtyard were completely bare, and these things were definitely not allowed to exist. After all, they were too much of an eyesore …
All these facts pointed to the fact that this place had indeed received the blessings of the gods last night!
Understanding this point, three old men instantly had complicated expressions on their faces.
One of them had a sharp glint in his eyes, a thin and somewhat cold old man. He looked at Jun Moxie with a conflicted look in his eyes. This person was the Zhan Family's Clan Head, Zhan Wu Yun.
Another old man looked at Jun Moxie with a complicated expression. His stature was not much different from Zhan Wu Yun's, just that there were many more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. This old man was the Gu Family's Clan Head, Gu Yun Yang. He was also the biological grandfather of Gu Fei Yu who had been ravaged by Jun Moxie! He had met Jun Dashao once before, although that fate could not be considered as a good one!
As for the last old man, he had a head of long, black hair that flowed behind his head. His expression was elegant, and his face was rosy. He exuded an imposing aura without being angry. Just by standing there, it was as if the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers were beneath his feet, and everything in the world was in his hands!
This sort of aura could only be cultivated by someone who had been in a high position for a long time, wielding the power of life and death in their hands!
This person was naturally the current Misty Misty Mansion's Lord, and also Miao Xiao Miao's biological grandfather, Miao Jing Yun!
