"Yes, I came out of seclusion and received your letter, so I immediately went to the Black Wood Prison to meet her." Guan Qingyun nodded.
"But I remember the teleportation formation was clearly closed. How did you get in?" Guan Xiu Jin said in surprise and curiosity.
"With the magic sword my master gave me, the barriers of the laws of the Black Wood Prison cannot stop me." Guan Qingyun drew out the long sword from his waist and said with a conceited look on his face.
This sword has an ancient shape. Once it is unsheathed, it looks like a pool of clear autumn water under the moonlight. It is obviously a rare and good sword.
"Your master?" Guan Xiu Jin was even more puzzled. Although he and his son seldom met, they often exchanged letters, but he had never heard him mention the matter of becoming a disciple.
"The head of the family may not know yet, but the young master is very talented and has been noticed by Lord Dou Nanshan and accepted as his disciple." The servant also looked proud.
Although he was just a servant, as the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. He also felt proud that the young master could have a wise master, and he felt as if he was superior to others.
"Dou Nanshan, which Dou Nanshan?" Guan Xiujin was shocked and asked in disbelief.
"My lord father, is there another Dou Nanshan in Xiaoshentian? My master is Dou Nanshan, one of the twelve blessed priests of the main temple, Lord Dou." Guan Qingyun tried hard to act as if nothing had happened, but he was unable to reveal the pride in his eyes.
"Good, good, you are worthy of being my, Guan Xiu Jin's, son." Guan Xiu Jin finally believed that the Dou Nanshan they were talking about was the Dou Nanshan he knew.
The Twelve Blessed Priests, they are the twelve most powerful men in the Continent of Gods, second only to the Lord God. If Guan Qingyun can become his disciple, the Guan family’s prosperity is just around the corner. Guan Xiujing was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
"Father, I saw that you were anxious just now. What happened?" Guan Qingyun asked.
"Alas." As soon as he said this, Guan Xiujin's joy was immediately diluted. He sighed deeply, "This matter is related to Mu Hanyan..."
Guan Xiu Jin did not hide anything and told him about Zhao Xinghong's death, the whereabouts of the more than 200,000 five-colored soul beads, Kong Renhe's suspicion of Mu Hanyan, and the previous incident in Qianlong Valley.
"So, that batch of five-colored soul beads is most likely on Mu Hanyan's body?" After hearing Guan Xiujing's words, Guan Qingyun asked thoughtfully.
"Although Kong Renhe targeted Mu Hanyan out of selfish motives to avenge the Zhao family, his analysis does make some sense. I also suspect that the batch of five-colored soul beads is in her hands." Guan Xiujing said.
"So what is father going to do?" Guan Qingyun asked.
"I'm in a dilemma, aren't I? Mu Hanyan is the head priest of a hall, after all. Kong Renhe has repeatedly made things difficult for her before, and it seems like he's taking revenge on her. But he hasn't found out anything, and he was beaten badly by Mu Hanyan. If we take action against him again, it would be unacceptable.
Besides, Kong Renhe's technique for detecting magical artifacts is unparalleled. Even he found nothing, so even if we take action, the result will be the same. If things get too serious, even if it reaches the Lord Divine, we will be in the wrong." Guan Xiujin said with a frown.
"Let me handle this matter. Father, you don't have to worry. Just wait for my good news." Guan Qingyun said after thinking for a while.
"What do you want to do? Qingyun, you must not act recklessly about this matter!" Guan Xiujin said nervously.
Guan Qingyun's admission to Dou Nanshan's fold was a blessing earned by the Guan family over several lifetimes, and he didn't want his precious son's bright future to be ruined because of Mu Hanyan's situation. Torture and forced confessions might be used on others, but they absolutely couldn't be used on Mu Hanyan, given her status.
"Father, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter?" Guan Qingyun smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Then what are you going to do?" Guan Xiu Jin felt a little relieved when he heard him say that, but still asked worriedly.
“What is love in this world? It makes people promise to be together for life and death. Some things may not be revealed even under torture, but if it were someone else, it would only take a few words to reveal it.” Guan Qingyun produced a goose feather fan like a magic trick, and shook it slowly, speaking with confidence.
"You mean, you and Mu Hanyan..." Although Guan Qingyun's words sounded mysterious and profound, Guan Xiujing still understood what he meant and said in surprise.
Guan Qingyun smiled but said nothing. He certainly knew what his father meant. Although it had not actually come to that, in his opinion, with his family background, talent, strength, and elegant demeanor, it would not be difficult for him to win Mu Hanyan's heart.
At worst, the batch of five-colored soul beads could be considered her dowry. However, with such a generous dowry, what should she do if she wanted the position of the principal wife? Should she give it to her or not? Guan Qingyun was a little conflicted.
If Mu Hanyan knew what he was thinking, she'd probably spit out blood on the spot. He hadn't even started thinking about whether to be the principal wife or the concubine. He was so self-righteous, it was probably unparalleled.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you to make the trip. I'll welcome you back when you come back." Guan Xiu Jin was overjoyed to see that his beloved son agreed with his guess.
How could he know that all this was just Guan Qingyun's self-righteous thinking, and that Mu Hanyan didn't even take him seriously.
"Okay, father, just wait for my good news." Guan Qingyun activated the wind-controlling magic weapon and flew away with the servant, leaving behind only a graceful figure like an immortal.
"He is worthy of being my son, Guan Xiu Jin. Even with such a big trouble, he solved everything as soon as he came back." Guan Xiu Jin sighed with both relief and pride.
"Master Chief Priest, have you thought of a solution? If we can't find that batch of five-colored soul beads, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for a year." Soon, the other priests came back and looked at Guan Xiu Jin anxiously.
The main reason why so many powerful people are willing to give up their status and position to join the Temple of Life is for the cultivation resources. If they cannot find this batch of five-colored soul beads, the Temple of Life can only last for a year at most. By then, people's hearts will be demoralized and the Temple of Life will be finished.
"Don't worry, my lords. I have handed this matter over to Qingyun." Guan Xiu Jin waved his hand and said calmly.
"Young Master Guan is back?" a priest said in surprise.
"Yes, Qingyun is back. I also think what Lord Kong said before makes sense. Those five-colored soul beads are most likely in Mu Hanyan's hands. I have asked Qingyun to check it out." Guan Xiujin nodded and said.
