In the meeting hall, Yan Qinxi, who came after hearing the news, saw Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi sitting in the hall. She paused slightly, then put a smile on her face, and said with a smile from a distance: "Ten sisters.
, Old Thirteen, what kind of wind brought you two here together today?"
Compared to Yan Qinxi's smiling face, the expressions of Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi looked much more solemn at this time.
The two stood up to greet Yan Qinxi. After the three Taoist cultivators of the Yang family took their seats, Yang Junhao said: "Is the fourth sister-in-law pretending to be calm or something? I don't believe that the fourth sister-in-law has not heard of it because of her well-informed information.
This matter!"
Yan Qinxi slightly suppressed the smile on her face, glanced at Yang Junqi next to her, and asked harmoniously: "Old Thirteen, what on earth are you talking about?"
Yang Junhao said angrily: "What else could it be? It has been nearly ten years since the fourth brother went to the outside world. Last time, several great masters of the Lingxiao Palace secret sect have returned to their lives, except for the fourth brother and a deceased person.
For the monks outside the territory, the news has spread throughout Guanghan Palace, and many people think that the fourth brother has died outside the territory!"
Yan Qinxi's face darkened and she said: "It's nonsense. Old Thirteen, do you believe it when others say this? What a cultivation level your fourth brother has. If he wants to go outside the territory, he will be able to stay for at least ten years. You should know this.
, Now let alone less than ten years, even if it reaches ten years, he can stay for a longer time, how can you be so impatient? "
Yang Junhao shook his head and said: "Fourth sister-in-law, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. After all, the fourth brother was entrusted by a certain being in the Immortal Palace. He should be like other people and return to life as soon as possible after the incident. Now the fourth brother has been delayed.
If I haven’t returned yet, I’m afraid those monks who are on the same mission as Fourth Brother may know something.”
Yan Qinxi interrupted: "But all of this is still just a rumor, isn't it? If your fourth brother really encountered something unexpected, why didn't anyone dare to confirm it?"
Yang Junhao sighed: "Sister-in-law's words are not unreasonable. However, although the news is only circulating in Guanghan Palace now, it will not be long before it spreads. If the children of the family know about it, even if I don't come to ask today,
, I’m afraid we won’t be the only ones coming to this meeting hall in the coming days.”
Yan Qinxi looked unswerving and said in a deep voice: "Old Thirteen, what exactly do you want to do here today?"
Yang Junhao's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Please also ask Fourth Sister-in-law to bring Fourth Brother's soul lantern out for the clan to see. This way, Ten Sister and I will have confidence in our hearts, and we will be able to explain things to the clan in the future in the council hall."
Yan Qinxi's expression changed when she heard this, and she refused almost without thinking: "This is impossible. Your fourth brother's soul lantern is the top secret of the family, but I can tell you that the soul lantern is safe and sound!"
When Yang Junhao saw Yan Qinxi's refusal, he frowned and said, "Wouldn't it make people more suspicious if Fourth Sister-in-law doesn't take it out?"
Yan Qinxi sneered: "Do you have no confidence in your fourth brother? What's more, he is outside the territory and is blocked by a world barrier. The soul lamp is high and low, strong and weak, which is normal. Now,
It's not like this has never happened before, but if you let people who don't know know about it, they may not have such knowledge. If you go to any place with closed space, your fourth brother is safe and sound, I'm afraid it's not that soul.
Deng is dying even under the isolation of double barriers. Is it possible that the tribe should think that he is on the verge of death?"
Yang Junhao felt that Yan Qinxi's words were a bit unreasonable, but he was anxious and didn't know how to refute.
At this time, Yang Junqi, who had been sitting in the meeting hall without speaking, suddenly said: "The fourth brother's soul lantern is of great importance, and it is indeed not suitable for too many people to see it, but what if it is just for the two of me to see it?"
Yang Junqi's suggestion is very reasonable. Although the Yang family is called "the first family in the world of cultivation", in fact, there are only a few Dao realms that truly belong to the Yang family, and Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi are undoubtedly
The two of them, the most representative figures among them, asked to see Yang Junshan's soul lantern. This was indeed not an overstep, and they indeed had the qualifications.
However, Yan Qinxi still refused without hesitation.
The three of them broke up unhappy in the meeting hall. Yang Junqi and Yang Junhao left separately, but Yan Qinxi stayed in the meeting hall, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Mom, I think it's inappropriate for you to do this!"
At some point, Yang Qinyu appeared in the meeting hall and said to Yan Qinxi who was deep in thought.
Yan Qinxi seemed to have known that Yang Qinyu was near the meeting hall for a long time, and was not surprised that he knew what the three people had just discussed.
"Oh, why is it inappropriate?" Yan Qinxi asked with a smile.
Yang Qinyu did not answer her mother's question directly, but instead asked again: "Mother, do you want to test whether the tenth aunt and the thirteenth uncle have any dissatisfaction with the family?"
Yan Qinxi did not deny it, saying: "There is such a plan, but it is not the whole story and it is not the focus."
Yang Qinyu frowned and thought: "Well, the two elders are members of the Yang family after all. It would not be so unwise to cheat and cheat. So, mother, what you want to test is whether they want to take the opportunity to advance in the family.
If you have achieved a higher status in the country, you will have more say?"
Yan Qinxi smiled slightly when she heard this, obviously appreciating Yang Qinyu's inference.
But Yang Qinyu immediately changed her tone and said: "It's just that the child still doesn't agree with the mother's actions. The father's soul lamp is intact and will definitely return in the near future. What's more..., mother, you don't need to be so careful.
"
"Mom, didn't I do all this just for you?"
Yan Qinxi's eyes suddenly became stern: "With your father here, the entire Yang family is naturally in peace, but if your father is not here, how much do you think you can control the entire family?"
Yang Qinyu was most afraid of Yan Qinxi's words "I'm not doing everything just for you", so she could only smile bitterly and said: "Mom, don't worry, dad always makes plans before doing anything. He will definitely be able to cross the threshold of the Golden Body Immortal."
Past.”
"I also believe he can cross it!"
Yan Qinxi looked at her son seriously and said, "But you also said that your father always acts carefully and always has a precaution for everything."
"What's more, even if your father successfully crosses that threshold, do you think he will still show some favor to this family in the future? Immortal people are like doctors. It's not that they are indifferent, but that they have become accustomed to it over time.
Too many lives and deaths. The infinite starry sky is too big and too vast. Only he can see and touch the things your father pursues, but for us, those things are too elusive. A small family may not be able to survive at the moment.
Okay, but it’s far from enough to be his bond in the future. Do you understand what mother said?”
Yang Qinyu said helplessly: "Mom, what I want to say is that you deliberately didn't show your father's soul lamp to others, but you were suspected of deliberately seducing the tenth aunt and the thirteenth uncle. Maybe they didn't have much thought in the first place.
What you did instead caused their thoughts to change..."
"If you really don't have any objections, then why should you accept this temptation?" Yan Qinxi said coldly.
Yang Qinyu smiled bitterly and said: "My mother's words are a bit heartbreaking..."
Seeing Yan Qinxi's unfazed expression, Yang Qinyu quickly added: "No matter what, cultivation and strength are the key. Don't worry, mother, my child's cultivation strength will eventually surpass the two seniors."
Yan Qinxi nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are right, your own cultivation and strength are the key, but when your cultivation and strength are not enough to suppress everything, these methods are defense."
Yang Qinyu knew that it would be useless to say anything, so she could only sigh secretly and retreat——
After Yang Junhao came out of the meeting hall, he went straight down the mountain. After leaving Xishan Village, he set up the escape light and went all the way to Yuanci Mountain in Jinyu County.
After the Shaking Sky Sect was destroyed, Yang Junhao once sat in Yuanci Mountain for several years out of consideration for stabilizing the newly annexed area.
After that, although the family began to send monks to guard the area on a rotating basis, and Yang Junshan was sent by the Immortal Palace to go outside the territory, experts were also needed on the Western Mountain, so he left Yuanci Mountain.
However, although he is no longer stationed at Yuanci Mountain, he has been operating here for several years, and there are still many family monks who have worked under him. In addition, his two sons have been working in Jinyu since he left.
He had practiced in two towns in the county and had already married and started a business. Therefore, when Yang Junhao got tired of staying in Xishan, he would come to Jinyu County to relax and entertain his grandchildren.
When Yang Junhao came to the home of his second son An Qinjin in Jinse Town, his third son Sang Qinli was also here, and he didn't seem surprised by his father's arrival, as if he had already known about it.
"Dad, how is the situation on the Western Mountain? What did Fourth Aunt say? Did you see Fourth Uncle's soul lamp? Is it still on?"
The third daughter, Sang Qinli, was obviously impatient and asked questions about everything in a barrage of questions.
Yang Junhao glanced sideways at his third daughter and said, "Do you think it's better for your fourth uncle's soul lamp to be on or off?"
Sang Qinli obviously didn't expect that her father would suddenly ask this question, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, An Qinjin smiled and took over the conversation and said: "Whether it lights up or goes out, we should be prepared now. If it lights up, it means that the fourth uncle is safe and sound. Those rumors outside are not to be believed, so naturally everyone is happy.
We don’t have to worry anymore; if it is destroyed..."
At this point, An Qinjin and Sang Qinli had just exchanged a look when they heard Yang Junhao say in a deep voice: "What if it is destroyed?"
An Qinjin composed herself and said, "Dad, if Fourth Uncle is serious about something unexpected happening, then you should have made preparations in advance!"
"Second brother is right!" Sang Qinli agreed.
Yang Junhao said calmly: "Oh? How should I prepare?"
An Qinjin's eyes flashed and said: "Dad, if something unexpected happens to Fourth Uncle, the main line of Xishan will definitely decline in power, and dad, with your Huagai Realm cultivation strength, you will be the real number one master of the Yang family, and the family will be even more powerful."
Relying on your support, you may wish to acquire the entire Jinyu County as your fief when the time comes. In the future, your son can help you rebuild the An family and fulfill your grandfather's last wish."
Hearing this, Sang Qinli also said: "Yes, yes, second brother is right, and don't forget that your grandfather will support you when the time comes. When it comes to a critical moment, the real backbone of the entire Yang family will still be
