monster beast. If this got out, from now on you'd probably just be a laughing stock," Xia Yiy said, not at all politely."If you dare to spread the word about today's events, then we shall be enemies..."Besides, the head of the Duanmu family has been in seclusion for a long time and hasn't come out. It's really strange. He is the one who values the face of the Duanmu clan the most."
Xiaoren said again.
“A man who cares about face suddenly stopped caring, only when the other party suddenly lost power.” Fang Chen said.
"Fang's meaning is"
"I'm afraid there might be something amiss within the Duanmu family."
Xiao Ren nodded: "Indeed, the person in charge of the Du Mu family recently is the eldest son, Duan Mu Yaocheng. However, the head of the Du Mu family also often appears and doesn't seem like there is a problem."
Hearing this, Fang Chen frowned. This Mu family was full of oddities.
"Forget it, I'll know everything once I see Bai Xue." he said.
Wang Jinfu also had to nod in agreement.
"Miss White Snow Wanting to see her is not difficult. She's not under confinement and often leaves the Dumu Manor to go to the nearby Bai Xiang Lou to enjoy delicacies," Xiaoren said.
"Food"
The two of them fell silent for a while.
Fang Chen chuckled wryly. He recalled the first time he met Duan Mu Bai Xue and Duan Mu Xing. The two of them ate as if they hadn't eaten in days, devouring their food ravenously.
After that, Mu Bai Xue also had a poem in her hand, and she was clearly eating everything. This girl is undoubtedly a glutton.
"Then it'll be easy to see Sister Shi." Wang Jinfu said happily.
Xiao Ren said: “But she has two maidservants following her at all times. They don’t seem to be protecting her, but rather keeping an eye on her. Young Master, you should still be careful.”
Wang Jinfu sneered, "Two maidservants only, they're nothing. Is there any other news"
"Yes."
Xiao Ren reported all the recent actions of the Duanmu family to him. This talk lasted for half a day, and he recounted every move they made.
Wang Jinfu nodded and said, "Continue to investigate the news, and report any developments."
"Yes!"
Xiaoren respectfully nodded, then immediately exited the room.
Wang Jinfu said: "It seems that the Du family has been very active recently, I'm afraid there is something going on."
Fang Chen nodded without hesitation, saying, "Regardless of what happens, let's see Bai Xue first."
"I'll take care of it."
Wang Jinfu said.
On the other side, Dumus' residence.
Du Mu Bai Xue arrived at the door of a study, but was stopped by two guards guarding the entrance.
"
One person said coldly, “Miss, you can’t go in.”
"
"I want to see my grandfather!" Du Mu Bai Xue said coldly. "Do I need your permission"
The bodyguard did not relent, saying faintly, "Miss, please don't make things difficult for us."
"If I really want to go see Grandpa" Dumu Bai Xue's voice grew colder and colder.
Then we have no choice but to take it.
The guard said, his tone laced with a hint of threat.
Du Mu Bai Xue's eyes turned cold, and she was about to make a move.
"Sigh."
Suddenly, a long sigh echoed through the study, followed by a weary voice: "Bai Xue, come in."
The voice belonged to Duanmu Nian, the current head of the Duanmu clan and renowned as a divine fortune teller.
It is rumored that his divination skills are unparalleled! He can even use heaven and earth as his board, calculating the overall situation of the world.
And this feng shui treasure land was personally arranged by him, ranking among the top three in the history of the Duanmu family!
The guard hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but ultimately still opened the study.
Du Mu Bai Xue also saw their hesitation just now, snorted coldly and walked into the study.
The study was dim, with only a few rays of sunlight penetrating the room.
Dumu Nian lay reclining on the Taishi chair.
It is rumored that he has an ethereal appearance, majestic aura, and even surrounded by fairy mist. He stands nine feet tall, looking like a true immortal at first glance.
But now Duanmu's frame was as thin as a stick, skin stretched taut over bone, his height reduced to just five feet and five inches, looking like he could die at any moment.
Even Endymion’s grandfather, his eyes were filled with love and concern.
But Duanmu Nian was clearly impatient, saying, "What is it again, Bai Xue The things your elder brother did in the Heavenly Realm have brought misfortune to our Duanmu family."
"The other party has already shown great benevolence and righteousness by agreeing to this condition in exchange for the safety of our Duanmu family. Since our Duanmu family raised you, you must make sacrifices for our Duanmu family, do you understand"
Listening to her grandfather's scolding, Duanmu Bailu's delicate body trembled slightly, and a flicker of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
She trembled as she spoke, "Grandfather, my family raised me. I should repay them."
But didn't you promise me to Fang Gege He is now at the Ti Jiao Pavilion! And he's even one of the top five geniuses!
Everyone knows I'm Fang Gege's fiancée! Now they want to marry me off to the Spirit King as a concubine. What does this make of Fang Gege
She doesn't care about her future, don't be fooled by her carefree demeanor. Every action she takes is like a whirlwind, stirring up chaos wherever she goes.
But she was grateful and didn't want her family to fall into a crisis of extinction because of her, nor did she want her elder brother's reputation to be harmed.
"Fang Chen Disciple of Tian Yangzi Back then, grandpa betrothed you to him not because he favored Fang Chen, but because he favored Tian Yangzi."
Dumu Nian sneered and continued, "But what did Yangzi do that day Not only did he lose his own life, but he also implicated his disciples."
"Whether it's the Yun family or Tian Yangzi's previous enemies, as long as they know Fang Chen's identity, they will definitely not let him go! Do you really think he can survive"
"What about five talented prodigies Even the most powerful prodigies are still only prodigies. Do you think those people would let Fang Chen live to that time"
He stared at Duanmu Bai Xue and said, "So, go in peace."
"So, even if I'm taken and tortured to death, used as bait to lure out my brother, it wouldn't matter"
Duanmu Baixue looked at Duanmuyuan in disbelief. Could this man truly be the loving grandfather she knew
Why did Grandpa change so much after she went to the Tianjiao Pavilion
Or perhaps people only reveal their true nature when they are about to die. Could this really be her true grandfather
Du Mu's face was even more impatient: "Can you blame me You can only blame your elder brother for doing such a thing! Pushing our Du Mu family to the brink!
Since you are siblings, it is your duty to repay this debt.
Listening to his grandfather's words, Du Mu Bai Xue felt utter despair.
After a long time, she finally spoke. "I understand."
After finishing her words, she turned and prepared to leave.
"What You came here just to tell me this Hmph, Grandpa has really wasted his years on you. You wouldn't even be willing to make a sacrifice."
Dumu Nian said coldly.
Duanmu Baixue stopped her steps and said, "I only came to see my grandfather. Since my grandfather is fine, I will take my leave."
"Grandpa, please rest assured. Your granddaughter knows what to do. These years of love for your granddaughter, I will repay."
She no longer lingered and left.
Dumu Nian watched Dumu Bai Xue's departing figure and coldly snorted, "Truly a good actress. Even if you don't want to go, you have to!"
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the peace, but a crease between his brows betrayed that his mood was not good at present.
Du Mu Bai Xue had just stepped out of the study when she saw a figure she loathed standing not far away, looking at her with mockery.
It was her cousin, Duanmu Qin Feng.d remain steadfast. Truly, this is beyond my expectations."Hearing this, Fang Chen was taken aback. Could his previous words have been a test The path of gods and demons wasn't a dead end."You shouldn...
