Chapter 3043
"Ah?" Father Zhang and the Gu parents were stunned. They looked at Ouyang Tianyun and Yan Xiwan, their eyes shining with excitement.
"Moreover, the elder said he would take our young people to the Magic Forest when he has time, to find us magical beast pets," Gu Cheng continued.
As Gu Cheng spoke, the eyes of Father Zhang and the Gu parents grew brighter. By the end, the shine was so intense that Yan Xiwan felt they looked like they had seen a treasure vault. It was too dazzling.
Ouyang Tianyun coughed lightly. "Actually, this is nothing. It is just a small favor. But don't you think the mother and son have been playing for too long?"
She pointed to Zhang Tian and her mother nearby.
"Ignore them," Father Zhang said directly. "Since that boy could walk, they have interacted like this. One runs, one chases. It has been over twenty years. I am used to it."
Hearing this, Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun knew the Zhang and Gu families were truly harmonious. Otherwise, how could a mother and son be so intimate?
It looked like one was running and the other chasing, but wasn't this just a way to show their closeness?
"Elder, Madam, I will take you to your residence," Gu Cheng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Elder Ouyang and Madam must be tired. Rest well. Xiao Cheng, take the elders to Qinhua Courtyard," Father Zhang said.
Then Father Zhang looked at Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun again. "Qinhua Courtyard is an independent small yard with nice scenery. The two elders will surely like it."
"Then we will trouble you," Ouyang Tianyun nodded slightly.
Just as Father Zhang said, Qinhua Courtyard was truly excellent. The atmosphere was quiet, the environment beautiful, and it was an independent small yard. It showed the Zhang and Gu families had put heart into the arrangement.
Yan Xiwan looked at Ouyang Tianyun, who was reading a book. "Tomorrow is the day the Zhang and Gu families fight the Heavenly Dao Sect. Will you intervene?"
"Let them handle it first. We will observe," Ouyang Tianyun said seriously. "We will intervene, of course, but we need to clarify some things first."
Yan Xiwan hummed. "Indeed, we must clarify things first."
Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun did not know the specific situation of the Heavenly Dao Sect, so they naturally needed to be careful.
The next day, the Heavenly Dao Sect came again. Of course, many people in Honghe Town came to watch. The arena was surrounded by people, some sitting, some standing.
"Master Zhang, Master Gu, are you ready?" A person came out from the Heavenly Dao Sect. He looked handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, seeming very straightforward.
But Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun saw clearly that this person was actually a puppet.
Yes, a puppet. Because this person had long lost his vitality. Instead, black qi wrapped around his body. Ordinary people could not see this black qi.
Yan Xiwan transmitted a voice to Ouyang Tianyun: "It seems the Heavenly Dao Sect has big ambitions."
The appearance of a puppet here was not normal. Even if there were mystics and martial artists here, it did not mean black evil qi would appear. The so-called Heavenly Dao Sect was full of evil aura.
"Did you see that much of this black qi is surrounded by a faint aura of fortune? It seems they are truly a fortune-stealing organization," Ouyang Tianyun said.
"But this is a puppet. Soul-searching techniques probably won't work," Yan Xiwan sighed.
"Wife," Ouyang Tianyun looked at Yan Xiwan with a mix of amusement and helplessness. "This is the mortal realm. Even if there are magical and martial features, this is still the world of mortals. Soul-searching techniques cannot be used casually."
"Oh," Yan Xiwan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Then what do you plan to do?"
Yan Xiwan was curious about how Ouyang Tianyun would handle it.
Ouyang Tianyun smiled. "Don't worry. Is your husband the type to fight unprepared battles?" Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile. "It is just a small fortune-stealing organization. Dealing with them is simple. Just destroy this organization, and the mastermind will naturally appear."
Ouyang Tianyun laughed. "Our lives are too long. Sometimes we get bored. So having some toys like this is not bad."
The mastermind behind the fortune-stealing organization might be a great power from some faction. But so what? In the mortal realm, he had made a deal with the Heavenly Dao. He could intervene at any time. In the cultivation world, he was a Mahayana Venerable. If a fortune-stealer appeared, dealing with them would not be difficult.
As for the Immortal Realm or God Realm, the Immortal Emperor and the Black Emperor were not mere decorations. As long as he had the ability, he was not afraid of offending them. He would just pull the tiger's whiskers.
So Ouyang Tianyun did not think this matter was difficult at all.
Yan Xiwan understood Ouyang Tianyun's meaning instantly. "Then we will intervene later. Let the Zhang and Gu families suppress their arrogance first."
Ouyang Tianyun hummed in agreement. The couple sat aside, watching the upcoming arena with great interest.
"I wonder which two magical beasts you will use for today's duel?" Gu Cheng and Zhang Tian asked as they went on stage.
Such sect duels usually involved cooperation between magic and martial arts. Gu Cheng and Zhang Tian had always been partners. They were good brothers since childhood. Plus, their magical beast pets were the best of the Zhang and Gu families. As the future heirs of the two families, their participation was inevitable.
The puppet on the opposite side did not care about Gu Cheng and Zhang Tian's participation. He waved his hand, and two more puppets appeared. Each of these two was accompanied by a Great Strength Rhino.
"Two Great Strength Rhinos. The Heavenly Dao Sect is too powerful," someone in the crowd said. "The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect are too good."
"I wonder how the two young masters of the Zhang and Gu families will deal with this. We have never heard that the Zhang and Gu families have second-tier magical beast pets."
"Yes."
…
Various discussions quietly unfolded, but they did not affect the people about to duel in the arena.
"Two Great Strength Rhinos. I didn't expect the Heavenly Dao Sect to respect us so much," Gu Cheng and Zhang Tian smiled at each other, then raised their hands.
Everyone saw two beams of light appear. Then, a Seven-Colored Peacock appeared beside Gu Cheng, and a One-Horned Snake appeared beside Zhang Tian.
"Wow! The Zhang and Gu families actually have a Seven-Colored Peacock and a One-Horned Snake. We didn't know," the spectators couldn't believe they were seeing such a spectacular scene.
"Isn't that obvious? The Zhang and Gu families have been rooted in Honghe Town for a hundred years. It is understandable that they have some heritage."
"But in the past, the Heavenly Dao Sect provoked the Zhang and Gu families so much. These two families seemed to always be at a disadvantage."
"That is good. Absolute counterattack. I think the people of the Zhang and Gu families are very cunning. If they had let people know earlier, there would not be such a shocking scene today."
"You are right."
