It can be seen that he really likes this niece and treats her like his own daughter.
"Ming'an, didn't I ask you to contact the Liu and Xu families? Why did you come back so soon?" Gu Qingyang asked after they had almost finished their greetings.
"Alas, both Patriarch Liu and Patriarch Xu said they had something to do and asked me to wait for a while. I waited for a whole day but didn't see them. I guess they don't want to see me." Gu Ming'an sighed.
"Forget it. Asking you to do these things is already embarrassing for you. If you don't want to see them, then don't go. Don't beg them." Gu Qingyang said indifferently. Even the three families of Zhou, He, and Xie had rebelled against the Gu family. How many others would be as steadfast as Patriarch Tang and Patriarch Feng, who would not forget their old favors?
"Then what should we do next?" Gu Mingan said with a bitter face.
"You don't have to do anything. Just wait and see. I want to see if they have the ability to bring down our Gu family. I also want to see if anyone still remembers the support I, Gu Qingyang, gave them back then." Gu Qingyang said calmly. His confidence had returned, and he also had a bit more of the dignity of a patriarch.
"Waiting any longer isn't a solution," Gu Ming'an said hesitantly. He could see the old man was furious, but there were some things he couldn't do after seeing them; it only added to his frustration.
"Take a look at what this is first?" Gu Qingyang said as he took out the Phoenix Nirvana Pill.
"Father finally succeeded in refining the Phoenix Nirvana Pill!" Gu Ming'an was stunned at first, and then said ecstatically.
"Thanks to the help of Master Mu, otherwise I might not be able to succeed in refining it in my lifetime. With this Phoenix Nirvana Pill, you should have nothing to worry about." Gu Qingyang said.
"Don't worry anymore, don't worry anymore." Gu Ming'an calmed down after a while, and said with a relaxed look on his face. Then he realized what his father said. This Phoenix Nirvana Pill was made with the help of Mu Hanyan, and hurriedly thanked her.
"Don't let the news about the Phoenix Nirvana Pill leak out beforehand. Just keep it to yourself." Gu Qingyang reminded.
"I know. Not a single word will leak out," Gu Ming'an nodded. Although he was honest, he wasn't stupid. He knew his father was trying to gauge people's hearts, to see if anyone would be willing to help the Gu family in their plight. Once he took out the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, he would teach those who had betrayed the Gu family a lesson, a slap in the face.
"By the way, I heard a piece of news when I came back." Gu Mingan then remembered something and said to Gu Qingyang.
"What news?" Gu Qingyang asked.
"I heard that a temple came to Tianyang City to participate in the worship ceremony, but was harassed and humiliated by the Long family. It couldn't even enter the gate of Tianyang Temple. The Long family also announced that no matter whether it is an inn or a major family in the city, anyone who dares to refuse to take them in will be an enemy of the Long family." Gu Mingan said.
"Oh, there is such a thing. Since others have come to participate in the ceremony of worshiping the gods, the chief priest should lead the team. How dare the Long family go so far?" Gu Qingyang and Tang Feng said in surprise.
"I also think it's unlikely. Maybe it's just a rumor," said Gu Mingan.
"It's not a rumor. Second uncle is talking about us, the Huayu Temple." Shen Yuhe said.
"This is really too much. I'm going to find the Long family to argue with them." Gu Qingyang was furious. He knew that the Gu family was in danger, but he still dared to ask the people of the Long family to get out. He was proud and not afraid of the people of the Long family.
At this time, he was full of gratitude to Mu Hanyan, so how could he bear to see them suffer?
"Master Gu, don't worry about it. Have you forgotten that you still have to slap some people in the face?" Mu Hanyan persuaded Gu Qingyang.
With her experience as a playboy, it was easy for her to guess what Gu Qingyang's intention was in concealing the successful refining of the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. After being upset for so many years, she naturally wanted to find an opportunity to slap those people in the face and vent her anger.
If Gu Qingyang took out the Phoenix Nirvana Pill now, it would make the Long family fearful. Knowing his relationship with the Long family, they would not continue to make things difficult for him. However, his purpose of slapping him in the face would not be achieved. Mu Hanyan did not want him to miss the opportunity to vent his anger.
As for the Long family, she would make them pay the price sooner or later, so there was no rush to vent her anger.
"But even if the Flower Rain Temple has fallen into decline, as the head priest, I shouldn't be humiliated like this," Gu Qingyang asked, somewhat unwillingly. He was grateful to Mu Hanyan, and to him, humiliating the Flower Rain Temple and Mu Hanyan was more painful than humiliating himself.
"Don't worry, I will return it sooner or later." Mu Hanyan said with a sneer.
Looking at the sneer on Mu Hanyan's face, Gu Qingyang vaguely understood something.
This High Priestess wasn't as harmless as she appeared. Judging by the divine arts she had previously displayed, she was definitely no ordinary person. The Long family must be regretting humiliating her like this. She probably didn't react because, like herself, she wanted to give the Long family a good slap in the face.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang didn't say anything more. He was actually looking forward to what was going to happen.
Since Mu Hanyan had her own ideas, Gu Qingyang gave up the idea of speaking up for her.
"Master, something terrible has happened. Something terrible has happened." At this moment, a woman rushed in in panic and shouted at Gu Qingyang. It was Chen Yuhe's snobbish second aunt, Zhu Yulan.
"What's the big deal? Is the sky falling? Why are you so panicked?" Gu Qingyang scolded unhappily.
"No, it's..." Zhu Yulan hurriedly explained. Before she could finish her words, she saw Shen Yuhe and the others. She was slightly startled, then pointed at them and shouted angrily, "Why are you here? Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Are you deliberately trying to kill our Gu family?"
"Magnolia!" Gu Mingan's face changed.
He had witnessed Gu Qingyang's gratitude towards Mu Hanyan with his own eyes. Wasn't Zhu Yulan deliberately trying to make things difficult for the old man by speaking to Mu Hanyan in this manner?
Fearing that Zhu Yulan would get into trouble, Gu Mingan quickly signaled to her.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yulan was already brooding over the "glass beads" incident, and later heard some rumors, which made her hate Shen Yuhe and others even more, so she didn't notice Gu Mingan's expression at all.
"Yulan, Yuhe is a descendant of our Gu family. How can you, as an elder, say this to her? Master Mu and the others are guests coming from afar. You must not be rude!" Gu Qingyang frowned and shouted heavily.
"What descendants of the Gu family, what guests? It's obvious that they want to kill our Gu family." Zhu Yulan said unconvinced.
Gu Qingyang hasn't been in charge of anything for more than ten years. Although Gu Mingan is said to be in charge of all the affairs of the family, in fact, they are all controlled by her. Although Gu Qingyang knows that this woman is short-sighted and a bit snobbish, he also knows that it is not easy to manage a family, so he is usually kind to her and never says a harsh word. This is the first time that Zhu Yulan has been scolded by him like this, and she is naturally dissatisfied.
