Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan fiercely drove everyone else out of Guan Songtao's Fortune Teller's Shop, closed the door, and then mockingly said to Guan Songtao, "Do you have a son named Guan Yue?"
"If you say he is my son, then he is my son. Because right now, I don't even know who my son is," Guan Songtao replied.
Miao Fang acknowledged Guan Songtao's words: "Of course, he left home at two years old, so you probably wouldn't recognize him now. But he must have some distinguishing marks, right? Like a mole? Or a birthmark? Or a scar?"
Seeing Miao Fang ask such questions, Guan Songtao immediately thought she was a very cunning woman who needed to be dealt with carefully; otherwise, he would end up in a terrible situation.
So he said, "Actually, who looks at their child's marks all day long? You haven't been a mother, so you wouldn't know that many childhood marks gradually disappear, while marks that weren't there in childhood can suddenly appear. For example, moles and red spots usually show up towards the end of puberty."
Miao Fang coldly smiled and said, "That's right; everything you said is correct. But your son must have some differences compared to other children, right? What do you think?"
"Yes, there are many ways in which he is different from other children, which often confuses me. For instance, he has never wet the bed and never cries at night; he's very easy to take care of. It has made things much easier for me. Perhaps he knows he doesn't have a mother and is looking out for me."
Guan Songtao's response angered Yin Dongnan: "Sister Miao, why waste time talking to him? Just…"
"Don't speak carelessly. Haven't you heard that Futian Shangren declared that if anyone bullies Guan Songtao, they will face annihilation?" Miao Fang still spoke softly without showing any signs of urgency.
"We're not afraid of Guan Yue; why should we care about Futian Shangren?" Yin Dongnan didn't understand.
Miao Fang ignored him and continued to ask Guan Songtao: "Do you know that Guan Yue is currently very prominent? He is already a Senior Cultivator in the Miraculous Realm. He is quite powerful, but he can't always stand in our way and make us look bad. We really dislike him. That's why we came to find you. Do you know why?"
Guan Songtao realized that this girl was not lying and couldn't help but feel resentful: Guan Yue is now a Great Power in the Miraculous Realm; why hasn't he come back to let me see him?
Guan Songtao felt a surge of happiness inside, but what came out of his mouth was: "I don't know if what you're saying is really my son. I also don't understand your intentions for coming here. My son hasn't returned since leaving home at two years old; I've completely forgotten about him. If you had gone through what I did, you would forget too. It's been so long that it feels like it happened ages ago; I can't remember anything at all."
Yin Dongnan immediately shouted loudly: "Stop pretending to be crazy and talking nonsense. If you don't honestly confess, we'll take you to meet your son; don't you want to see him? We'll make it happen for you."
"Alright then, I'll go meet him. If I recognize him as my son, I'll have him pay your way back; if he's not my son, then you need to be responsible for bringing me back. We need to agree on this first. I'm a poor man; I can't afford any trouble," Guan Songtao quickly agreed and stood up as if ready to leave immediately, leaving Yin Dongnan unsure of how to respond next.
Miao Fang finally couldn't hold back anymore and began to sneer: "Guan Songtao, I know a bit about you. Like your son, you're tough as nails—nothing can get through to you. It seems we have no choice but to get serious."
"I am doing exactly what you asked for, what more do you want? To be honest, killing is just a matter of time. Twenty years later, it will all be forgotten; who is afraid of whom? Killing? You probably can only kill, so go ahead." In his thirties, Guan Songtao was also a man of spirit, and he immediately shouted angrily, making sure those outside the room knew someone was about to be killed.
Yin Dongnan could no longer tolerate Guan Songtao's actions. He quickly pulled out his Ruyi Stick, intending to strike Guan Songtao. Miao Fang stopped him, saying, "Don't move; at least don't do it here. Guan Yue and his master are..."
Before Miao Fang could finish, Yin Dongnan swung his stick and knocked Guan Songtao to the ground, complaining to Miao Fang, "You’re afraid of wolves in the east and tigers in the west; why did you practice martial arts in the first place? You should have stayed home quietly learning embroidery instead of coming out here swinging weapons."
Yin Dongnan's strike directly broke Guan Songtao's back, leaving him unable to stand as he collapsed. Guan Songtao's expression was one of great pain, but he did not cry out; he endured the excruciating pain and forced himself not to groan. He could not embarrass his son in front of his enemies!
Miao Fang sneered at Yin Dongnan, saying, "You're impressive; even if you kill him, what will that accomplish? Did we come all this way just to kill him? Has your brain been chewed by a dog until only the waste remains?"
At this moment, Miao Fang was truly furious. She felt deep resentment towards Yin Dongnan because she believed that both Dongfang Yu and Yin Dongnan had caused her suffering, forcing her to seek misfortune from this innocent father. She did not want to act this way, but for the sake of a stable future, she felt compelled to do so, leading to a profound inner conflict.
Yin Dongnan insisted, "If we’re going to hit him, then let’s hit him! If we keep beating him every day like this, maybe he’ll eventually talk."
"Then you do it; I won’t say another word." Miao Fang truly fell silent and coldly stared at Yin Dongnan.
Yin Dongnan raised his Satisfaction stick again and struck Guan Songtao once more. Guan Songtao convulsed in pain that pierced his heart and lungs, yet he still held back any sounds of suffering; he needed to maintain his dignity and not embarrass his son.
However, the intense pain was unbearable for an ordinary man like him. He had spent his life struggling in the town and had never experienced such agony before. The pain felt like it was tearing him apart; cold sweat poured down as his breathing became labored until he soon lost consciousness.
Yin Dongnan said sullenly, "We’ll wait until he wakes up before continuing to beat him until he submits."
Miao Fang snorted coldly and turned to walk out the door.
Outside the door were many people eavesdropping on their conversation. As Miao Fang pushed the door open, they immediately scattered in all directions.
Miao Fang realized that staying here would surely lead to trouble, so she decided to take Guan Songtao and leave immediately. After Yin Dongnan's attack, their own safety was no longer guaranteed. After all, they were merely at the Guardian Realm level; although this was a remote area, there was no assurance that someone above Guardian Realm wouldn’t appear.
From now on, she had completely offended Guan Yue and had only one path left—walking into darkness. Miao Fang felt a pang of sadness but knew she had chosen this path and had no choice but to continue down it.
At Chunhua Academy, Zihongfang had successfully entered Spring Blossom Academy for Female Cultivators based on her own abilities.
One day, Ouyang Shaohua accidentally ran into Zihongfang on the academy's path. Zihongfang was overjoyed to see Ouyang Shaohua and quickly asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't Guan Yue go to Dragon Lake Academy?"
In fact, this was intentional on Zihongfang's part.
Ouyang Shaohua replied casually, "It's a family matter," and turned to leave. However, Zihongfang tightly grasped Ouyang Shaohua's hand and wouldn't let go. "Ouyang, we used to share everything in one room; why are we acting like enemies now? I know I was wrong in the past for liking that jerk Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, who specifically targeted Guan Yue, resulting in Guan Yue getting severely injured. I've realized my mistakes and won't associate with him anymore. Let's go back to being sisters; let's be family again. Please give me a chance to make amends. Ouyang, I'm begging you."
Ouyang Shaohua was momentarily speechless. Zihongfang continued, "Our meeting here is fate. From now on, let's treat each other like everyone else and get to know each other again. We will definitely become good sisters again. Are there any other disciples from Qilin Academy here at Chunhua Academy?"
Ouyang Shaohua had no choice but to respond, "Huangfu Jiayun and Naiqian are also here."
"Great! Take me to meet them; I will show them that the current Zihongfang is different from before. We will definitely become good sisters. Let's go!" Zihongfang's enthusiasm left Ouyang Shaohua no room to refuse, so she took Zihongfang to find Huangfu Jiayun and Naiqian.
Upon meeting the two older sisters, Zihongfang immediately displayed great enthusiasm and presented very expensive gifts to both Naiqian and Huangfu Jiayun. Naiqian was very familiar with Zihongfang because her sister had once shared a dormitory with her, so she was suspicious of Zihongfang's enthusiasm and remained deeply cautious.
However, Huangfu Jiayun had known Zihongfang back at Qilin Academy and was very warm upon seeing a familiar face in the same academy. The two chatted happily together. She firmly believed that Zihongfang would correct all her past misunderstandings; after experiencing many things, it was evident that she had learned from her mistakes and should be much better now.
From then on, Zihongfang successfully integrated into Ouyang Shaohua's circle and became well-acquainted with her lifestyle! She then relayed this information to Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui. Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui secretly mocked Zihongfang: "This silly girl! What’s so great about Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian? He’s far inferior to Guan Yue; how could she possibly like him? Being a concubine for Guan Yue is better than being a wife to Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian."
However, she took the information from Zihongfang very seriously. From the intel, she learned that Ouyang Shaohua's reasons for leaving the academy were primarily to buy fabric and snack food. Wherever there were delicious treats, Ouyang Shaohua would definitely try them out; if they were good, she would become a regular customer—she could be considered someone with very high brand loyalty.
With this information in hand, capturing Ouyang Shaohua would be as easy as pie! Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui laughed heartily, thinking about how Guan Yue would handle this situation!
