Shortly after they left, the Zhong family appeared at the Jiuze Temple and carried out a major purge of the people there. Regardless of whether you were a member of the Gong family or not, as long as you were confirmed not to be a member of the Zhong family, you were replaced.
This move was no small matter; in an instant, the entire city of Jiuze knew that the Gong family was no longer the managing family of the Jiuze Temple in Shenzhou.
In fact, in order to eliminate the Gong family, they even replaced everyone in the entire Jiuze Temple.
Many families felt that the Zhong family was about to rise again, so they started thinking about how to improve their relationship with the Zhong family.
Gong Chengying, the head of the Gong family, paced back and forth in the council hall, his face grim. "Have you found out who killed Cheng Xiong and Yu Fu?"
The elder from the Gong family sitting below shook his head. "No, the people we sent down didn't find anything."
"Third Master and Second Young Master went down in secret, so virtually no one has seen them."
"Although it is unknown whether the young master of the Zhong family left first, he came up with Lian Sheng."
Lian Sheng had brought Zhong Yuxi with her to warn them, and the moment they arrived at the Gong family, Yu Fu's soul tablet shattered, which is why they didn't suspect that they were the ones who killed him.
Although Gong Chengying had two sons and was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, how could he truly remain indifferent to the death of his second son?
"Send more people to investigate." The coldness in his eyes was almost palpable. Thinking of how the Gong family had been expelled from the Jiuze Temple by the Zhong family, his face turned fierce again. "Why has Lian Sheng started getting involved in the affairs of the Jiuze Temple? Didn't the Divine Child say anything?"
Gong Chengying's face darkened when she thought about how the Zhong family had uncovered all the informants she had planted in the Jiuze Temple.
Those people were all his informants whom he had planted for a long time, and they all disappeared in an instant.
He still doesn't know that it was his own goalkeeper who exposed him, otherwise he would be furious.
The elder shook his head and said, "The Divine Child is in seclusion, and the Divine Lord has gone to the Upper God Realm. It's really hard to ask or investigate why Lian Sheng is involved."
Gong Chengying thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the back hall. "Have someone keep an eye on the Zhong family, no, on the people currently living in the Zhong family mansion."
"The Zhong family must be of extraordinary status to be willing to give up their ancestral home."
“I’ll send a message to ask what happened and why they’re making us leave the Jiuze Temple.”
The higher-ups promised that as long as he did things for them, they would help the Gong family rise to prominence, but what happened now?
The Gong family had just begun to improve when they were brought back to square one, and may even be worse off than before.
The elder thought for a moment, then immediately got up and went out to instruct people to keep an eye on the Zhong family's ancestral home.
He was also very curious about who had moved into the Zhong family home. It was not something an ordinary person could do to get Zhong Qingkeyin to move out of the ancestral home completely.
At least the Gong family couldn't do it, Lian Sheng couldn't do it, and even the God Lord and the others couldn't do it.
There was no doubt that the Gong family had their eyes on them, so Chongjiu and the others didn't take it to heart.
They strolled slowly through Jiuze City and found that apart from being quieter and having more beautiful scenery up there, there were no other differences.
There were shops around the road, including a tavern and a teahouse.
However, none of the items are of the ordinary quality.
Shu Jianyue lost interest after browsing for a while. Seeing that Yu Chuan and the others were having a great time, she and Chong Jiu went back to the Zhong family ancestral home first.
As soon as the two reached the door, they saw two people suddenly appear there.
Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu, "Who?"
Chong Jiu pulled her over and said, "Wei Sheng Nan Lan."
When Wei Sheng Nan Lan saw them approaching, she was taken aback at first, then immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Nan Lan greets the Divine Lord and the Madam."
Chong Jiu nodded and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Wei Sheng Nan Lan glanced at the people behind her and followed them inside.
The three of them sat down directly in the flower pavilion in the front yard. Chong Jiu took out the spiritual elixir, poured a cup for Shu Jianyue, then poured one for himself, and then for Wei Sheng and Nan Lan.
Wei Sheng Nan Lan respectfully accepted it, "Your Majesty, why didn't you inform Nan Lan of your arrival? Nan Lan could have prepared a better courtyard. This courtyard is too old and dilapidated."
As soon as he came out of seclusion, Lian Sheng told him about Chong Jiu, but didn't go into details. She only said that Chong Jiu and his wife had arrived and were staying at the Zhong family's house.
Therefore, he was unaware of what had happened to Chongjiu, and without asking what Chongjiu was doing in Shenzhou, he rushed over immediately.
However, he was very curious about this lady.
The fact that the first cup of spiritual elixir poured out by Chong Jiu was for her made her take another look, and she became even more curious, but she didn't dare to look any longer.
Shu Jianyue's eyebrows twitched. Such a large courtyard, which had obviously been meticulously renovated, was still old and dilapidated!
Chong Jiu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I won't be here for long."
"Where is the Fuli Stone that I gave you?"
Wei Sheng Nan Lan paused for a moment, then immediately took it out.
The Fuli Stone lit up the moment he took it out.
Wei Sheng Nan Lan looked at Chong Jiu, puzzled. "What's wrong, Divine Lord? Are you going to take it back?"
Chong Jiu shook his head, "I gave it to you, so naturally I won't take it back."
The reason he wanted to see the Fuli Stone in Wei Sheng Nan Lan's hands was because he had Rong Jin investigate and found that the Fuli Stones in Chong Yao Palace were not missing.
If that's the case, where did those people get the Fuli Stones from?
Wei Sheng Nan Lan looked at the Fu Li Stone in her hand, "What is that?"
"It's nothing, put it away." Chong Jiu lowered his eyes. Could that person replicate his Fuli Stone?
Wei Sheng Nan Lan put away the Fu Li Stone. "Divine Lord, have you and your wife come to Shenzhou for some business? Do you need any help?"
Chong Jiu raised his hand and said, "It's nothing, just playing with the kids."
"Bringing children here to play? Has the God Venerable taken on disciples?" Wei Sheng Nan Lan didn't dare to think about sons and daughters, and a feeling of jealousy arose in her heart.
He had really wanted to become a disciple of the God, but unfortunately the God did not accept disciples.
If it really was a deity who took in a disciple, how outstanding must that person be to be chosen by the deity and accepted into their fold?
"No, they are my children." Upon hearing this, Wei Sheng Nan Lan was so surprised that she stood up immediately.
"Children of the gods?"
"You, me, we haven't seen each other for only a few years, and you already have children?"
If he hadn't used honorifics and was a man, his words might have been misunderstood.
Chong Jiu glanced at him and said, "It's been almost twenty years. Is that strange?"
"They are all over ten years old."
Wei Sheng Nan Lan looked at Shu Jian Yue, her mouth slightly agape.
Shu Jianyue smiled and asked, "Do you find it strange that Chong Jiu got married and had children, or are you surprised that he actually married me?"
Wei Sheng Nan Lan shook her head, "No, it's the speed of the God Venerable that's surprising."
It is well known that it is not easy for cultivators to have offspring, and it is even more so for deities.
Chong Jiu glanced at him indifferently, what did he mean by being surprised by his speed? Did he even know how to speak?
