Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gu Tiannan coldly, "The reason you brought this woman to the Ancestral Land today, is to flaunt your might at me, Shangguan Wan'er?"
"Wan-Er, listen to my explanation!" Gu Tiannan glared at Yun Shu, his expression anxious as he took a step forward, and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "The main reason I'm here today is to obtain the Sky Water Lingzhi!"
Heavenly Water Lingzhi?
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes twinkled again.
Thinking back to what Yun Shu had just said, he sneered, "According to our ancestor's teachings, Sky Water Lingzhi can only be picked once a year. This year's share was a few days ago, and the elders have already used it to cure your illness. "
Yun Shu's words were light and precise, but she had already made it clear to both the outside and the inside that it was absolutely impossible to obtain the Sky Water Lingzhi!
"Shangguan Wan'er! The old master humbly said this to you because he wanted to give you face. Don't speak nonsense and don't talk nonsense, quickly open up the ancestral land and let us obtain the Heavenly Water Ganoderma. "
Yun Shu simply did not like Shangguan Wan'er's look. Furthermore, she was afraid that if Yun Chenjing disagreed, she would kill Gu Liubai.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Yunshu dexterously. "It's not up to you to interrupt when I speak to the Patriarch!" Furthermore, even if it is something that goes against our ancestor's teachings, the Patriarch has no right to take it for granted. "
Yun Shu pointed at Shangguan Wan'er, trembling with anger. "You …"
Jun Lingyan and Yun Chenjing looked at each other.
No matter if it was appearance or intelligence, Yun Shu was not a match for Shangguan Wan'er. It was only because Gu Tiannan was blind that he would fall for a brainless woman like Yun Shu.
"What is it? Could it be that the current Patriarch is strong enough to go against the teachings of our ancestor? " Shangguan Wan'er indifferently looked at Gu Tiannan, his face still expressionless.
Gu Tiannan's expression instantly became awkward, "Wan'er, why do you have to be so overbearing?"
Shangguan Wan'er's gaze paused for a moment as her lips curled up into a cold smile.
Gu Liufeng raised his head, turned around and looked at Gu Tiannan with eyes full of hatred, "Father, you're saying that my mother is being overbearing? Then who was it that forced my mother to guard the ancestral grounds personally? Who was it that forced me and mother to not see each other for nine years? "
With that, Gu Liufeng took a step forward.
With that, he walked to the front of Gu Tiannan and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
Gu Liufeng's words caused Gu Tiannan to fall silent.
"Why do you have to be so harsh? Why do I hear that you are criticizing your father? "Do you have such an unfilial son?"
Just as Gu Tiannan was rendered speechless by Gu Liufeng, Yun Shu stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Tiannan, scolding him coldly, "If you want to talk about this, I'm afraid it's your mother who will interfere! If it wasn't for her, the one sitting in the main seat of the Gu family's mother would be me! "It's not her!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the whole hall quieted down.
No one spoke.
Yun Shu looked even more pleased as she continued to speak.
"Tiannan and I truly loved each other back then. It was the Old Master of the Gu family who wanted to marry the Shangguan family and separate us alive! Now you still have the nerve to blame us? If you want to blame someone, blame your Old Master Gu for following the Old Master of the Shangguan Family and being too heartless! "
"Why are all of you mute? Say it! " Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er and Gu Tiannan did not speak, Yun Shu became even more cocky.
"Yunshu!" After a long while, Gu Tiannan frowned and stopped Yun Shu.
"What is it? Do you have feelings for this woman? " Yun Shu pointed at Shangguan Wan'er, her face flushed red as she roared at Gu Tiannan.
"You … Why is it so incomprehensible! " Gu Tiannan slapped Yun Shu's face in anger.
After being disrupted by Yun Shu's actions, their goal in coming to the Gu family's ancestral grounds had become more and more different.
"Gu Tiannan, you actually hit me for this woman!" Yun Shu covered her face in disbelief.
"Shut up!" Gu Tiannan glared at Yun Shu, and then turned to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, it's all my fault! This time, my Gu Clan owes Ling Yan the Heavenly Water Lingzhi, just give it to me! "
The shamelessness of the two had refreshed the surrounding crowd's impression of them.
Yun Chenjing and Yue Shan stood by the side with their arms crossed. Watch this play.
Shangguan Wan'er's gaze paused on Gu Tiannan for a moment, her eyes filled with unspeakable disappointment and sorrow. Sighing, she turned around and walked towards the praying mat, speaking as she walked, "You all can go! The Heavenly Water Lingzhi will not be given to you! "
"Bam!"
When Shangguan Wan'er was about to sit down on the praying mat, Gu Tiannan's expression changed drastically. In the end, his expression became fierce and he kneeled on the ground.
"Patriarch!"
"Old master!"
"Father!"
"What are you doing?"
The elders, along with Yun Shu and Gu Liubai, all stared wide-eyed at the kneeling Gu Tiannan, in disbelief.
This move of his was beyond their expectations.
"Wan'er!" "Please give me a chance!" Gu Tiannan raised his head, looking at Shangguan Wan'er's back, his face was filled with unyielding determination.
Shangguan Wan'er's body froze. After a long while, she sighed and said, "What's the point of you!"
Seeing that, happiness flashed past Gu Tiannan's eyes. He wanted to say something, but was cut off by Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er chuckled, her laughter contained disdain and relief, "Gu Tiannan, do you remember the last time you knelt before me?"
Gu Tiannan's face changed.
"Do you think that I, Shangguan Wan'er, am still the same Shangguan Wan'er?" Shangguan Wan'er turned around abruptly, and looked at Gu Tiannan coldly: "Last time you kneeled before me, it was you who wanted to bring her into the palace!"
As Shangguan Wan'er said this, she raised her hand and pointed to Yunshu. "At that time, you said that you owed her a lot! That's why you can't let her be an outsider without a name! Isn't that right? "
Gu Tiannan lowered his head, his entire face hidden in the shadows.
"At that time, when you said that, I believed you! for you to bring them home and take good care of them. "
At this point, Shangguan Wan'er sneered again, "The second time you knelt to me was on the morning after this woman brought her three children into the Gu family. You forced me to give up the power of the internal affairs of the Gu family with your kneeling! Forced me into this ancestral land! Forced me to be separated from my flesh and blood! "
"Now, this is the third time you have kneeled to me. Gu Tiannan, do you really think that my Shangguan Wan'er is so weak that she can be bullied? "
Shangguan Wan'er's words caused an uproar among the crowd. They all turned to look at Gu Tiannan, their faces filled with disbelief.
No one had thought that the truth would turn out to be like this!
In response to Shangguan Wan'er, Gu Tiannan remained silent.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the silent Gu Tiannan as he staggered two steps back. The expression on her face became even more desperate, and eventually, the despair on her face retracted and turned into indifference.
"Gu Tiannan, oh Gu Tiannan! If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for being blind back then! " Shangguan Wan'er shook her head with a bitter smile and sighed.
"Master, you, you … "Really …" Yun Shu covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, covering her exquisite face.
Everyone was shocked and completely silent.
Their gaze swept across Gu Tiannan, Shangguan Wan'er and Yun Shu. Their expressions became complicated, the elders looked at Shangguan Wan'er with looks of love.
Jun Lingyan glanced at Gu Tiannan who was kneeling on the ground, and the corner of his mouth raised into a sneer.
Yun Chenjing raised his head and looked at Jun Lingyan, a strange luster flickering in his eyes.
"Mother!" Just at this time, Gu Liufeng spoke. He first looked at Gu Tiannan with a complicated expression, then looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was looking at him, "I want the Heavenly Water Lingzhi this time, it's my friend. If it's convenient, can you help me open up the Ancestral Land? "
Shangguan Wan'er's gaze paused on Gu Liufeng for a moment, but she did not say a word. Instead, her gaze focused on Gu Tiannan and Yun Shu.
"Wan'er, just help the Gu family!" Sensing Shangguan Wan'er's gaze, Gu Tiannan raised his head and looked at his pleadingly.
Hearing Gu Tiannan's father and son's pleas, Yun Shu's face was filled with anticipation.
Shangguan Wan'er had a faint smile on her face as she met with Yunshu's gaze. "You owe someone else, why would you want me to repay you?"
Yun Chenjing and Jun Lingyan looked at each other and laughed again.
Gu Tiannan's face changed.
After a moment of shock, Yun Shu's face turned malevolent, "Shangguan Wan'er, what qualifications do you have to reject the Patriarch's request!?" Husband and wife, aren't you afraid of committing seven crimes? "
"Isn't this just what you want?" Shangguan Wan'er laughed without a care and turned around, her voice resolute. "Since my Shangguan Wan'er is guarding this Gu family ancestral residence, then my Shangguan Wan'er's rules shall be the rules of the ancestral residence!"
"The Gu Clan Ancestral Mansion does not welcome you, scram!"
The moment Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, the doors to the ancestral residence closed with a wave of her sleeve.
"Shangguan Wan'er, how can you be so vicious!" The instant the door to the ancestral residence was closed, Yun Shu jumped and scolded loudly.
"Duke Yun, Miss Ling Yan, look, this …" Gu Tiannan stood up, walked in front of the two of them, and turned around to look at the closed main entrance of the ancestral residence with an awkward expression.
"Patriarch Gu, we already said it earlier, we will definitely obtain the Sky Water Lingzhi!" Of course, if the Gu Family cannot hand over the medical fee, I don't mind letting you return to your original state! " Jun Lingyan folded her arms across her chest and laughed coldly.
The Gu family members broke out in cold sweat.
Yun Shu anxiously blocked in front of Gu Tiannan, staring at him angrily, "You dare!"
"What, you want to attack my wangfei?" Yun Chenjing squinted his eyes, nine white swords appeared above his head. As the second lotus flower of the Spirit Seat, its aura suddenly exploded, pressing down on Yun Shu's body.
"Pah!"
Yun Shu plopped down onto the floor with a thud.
"Misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! " Gu Tiannan immediately walked forward, blocking Yun Chenjing's pressure, "Duke Yun, don't be in such a hurry to make a move!"
With that, Gu Tiannan looked at Jun Lingyan, "Miss Ling Yan, how about this, if you are not in a rush, I will personally deliver the Sky Water Lingzhi to you next year, how about it?"
Jun Lingyan glanced at Yun Chenjing and sighed in her heart. She could wait, but Yun Chenjing couldn't.
