Chapter 469: Chapter 265: The Last Tripod Cauldron

Gu Zheng didn’t know how Yu Yijun would explain losing the Divine Weapon to the Yu Family, nor did he care to find out.

The Yu Family wouldn’t decline immediately just because they’d lost a Divine Weapon.

After all, they still had three King’s Body experts presiding over them.

News of this incident wouldn’t spread for some time, either.

Although Feng Wuji and Feng Wuwo knew what had happened, they weren’t fools. If word got out from them, it would be a direct betrayal of Yu Yijun, and they would undoubtedly face retribution the next time they met.

Not to mention, it would also expose Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng wasn’t one to gossip, either.

Having snatched the Phoenix Feather, laying low was the wisest course of action.

But a thing like this couldn’t be hidden for long.

The members of the Yu Family had always relied on Divine Weapon Power and rarely cultivated Body Technique and Lightweight Skill True Skills.

Now that the Divine Weapon was gone, it wouldn’t take long for their weakness to show when they were chasing or fleeing an enemy, and the truth would eventually come out.

Gu Zheng had no interest in what would happen to the Yu Family afterward.

The day of the Yang Family Ancestor’s 800th birthday was fast approaching. Gu Feng, Gu Wan’Er, Gu Xue, and Zhou Dingding had completed their mission of exploring the new district and recording information.

Gu Pan’Er graded the four of them individually, while Gu Sihai joined in on the fun, supervising from the side.

In the end, Gu Wan’Er and Zhou Dingding had the same high score, tying for first place.

"How is that possible!"

Gu Xue refused to believe it. She rushed over, snatched the information Gu Wan’Er had recorded, and quickly flipped through it.

One look, and she was left speechless.

Although Gu Wan’Er was the youngest, she was even more meticulous and careful than Zhou Dingding.

Therefore, even though she had recorded the least amount of content, her score was very high.

"See now? You’re always so rash and careless. Try to learn from this," Gu Sihai said, glaring at Gu Xue.

"I..." Gu Xue opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.

"Hehe~" Gu Wan’Er smirked smugly. But then she remembered something and looked at Gu Zheng. "Big Brother, there’s only one family spot. What do we do now that Dingding and I have the same score?"

"That’s right!" Gu Xue chimed in with a mischievous grin. "Since your scores are the same, you and Dingding should compete one more time..."

"There’s no need."

Gu Zheng interrupted. "If their scores are the same, then they’ll both go."

"Huh? Isn’t there only one spot?" Gu Xue was stunned.

"There is only one spot, but the Yang Family won’t say anything if I bring two people with me," Gu Zheng said calmly.

Gu Xue was speechless.

"Haha, Big Brother is mighty! Big Brother is a badass!" Gu Feng gave him a thumbs-up.

"Right, right, Big Brother is the best!" Gu Wan’Er clapped her hands, then huffed at Gu Xue.

"Ping’an, will that really be okay?" Gu Pan’Er asked worriedly.

Gu Sihai chimed in, "If it causes any trouble..."

"It’s really fine."

Gu Zheng raised a hand to cut them off. "It’s just one extra person. Don’t worry."

In fact, even if Gu Zheng brought Gu Feng, Gu Xue, and even Gu Pan’Er along, the Yang Family wouldn’t say a word. On the contrary, they would be more than welcoming.

It was just like when the Zhong Family had sent a group of Princes and Crown Princes to Qingshi County to pursue Gu Pan’Er and Gu Xue.

The Yang Family was the same; they were eager to get in touch with Gu Zheng’s sisters, form a connection, and unite their families through marriage.

It was just that Gu Zheng wasn’t willing.

...

He stayed in Qingshi County for another day.

The next morning, Gu Zheng took Zhou Dingding and Gu Wan’Er with him, soaring into the sky and flying west.

They first left the borders of Fengzhou, then crossed the Celestial Gate River. Gu Zheng activated the invitation, and a route guided by a stream of qi burst forth from it, leading him to the central-western region of the Shang Country, where they descended before the gate of a large estate.

The entrance to the Yang Family Ancestral Land was, in fact, inside one of the buildings within the estate.

Or rather, for ease of management, the Yang Family had built the estate centered around the entrance to the Ancestral Land Space.

This estate was enormous, only slightly smaller than the county seat several dozen li away.

As Gu Zheng landed at the open main gate with Gu Wan’Er and Zhou Dingding, Yang Sanyue sensed his arrival. She flickered and teleported out of the estate, cupping her fist in a salute before the steward could even ask. "Sanyue greets the Gu King," she said with a smile. "Gu King, please, come inside!"

"Eldest Princess, you are too kind. This is a humble gift for the Ancestor. I hope you will accept it."

With a wave of his hand, Gu Zheng materialized a large pile of iron ore on the ground, which emanated a sinister and frigid aura.

"Thousand-year... no, Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron?"

Yang Sanyue was visibly moved. She cupped her fist again and bowed. "Thank you, Gu King!"

"The Master of Qingshi, Gu King, presents one portion of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron!" the steward at the side announced loudly, his voice empowered by the Divine Wondrous.

’Master of Qingshi?’

’The master of Qingshi County?’

Gu Zheng found it strange. ’When did I get that title?’

Without letting any of this show, Gu Zheng followed Yang Sanyue into the estate.

Zhou Dingding and Gu Wan’Er hurried to keep up.

Zhou Dingding followed Gu Zheng closely with a cold expression on her little face, not saying a word.

Gu Wan’Er, on the other hand, was much more lively. As she walked inside with Gu Zheng, she looked left and right, constantly surveying her surroundings.

"Gu King, who might these two young ladies with such compelling Spiritual Qi be?" Yang Sanyue had noticed Zhou Dingding and Gu Wan’Er earlier and asked casually as they walked.

"The taller one is my young apprentice, Zhou Dingding," Gu Zheng replied casually. "The shorter one is my youngest sister, Gu Wan’Er."

"Wan’Er greets the Eldest Princess!" Gu Wan’Er quickly called out sweetly, smiling at Yang Sanyue.

"Dingding greets the Eldest Princess," Zhou Dingding added quietly.

"Hello to you both. A little gift for you. Come, Dingding, Wan’Er." Yang Sanyue responded with a gentle smile. Two pairs of Protective Jade Bracelets, whose auras were concealed, appeared in her hands. She placed one pair in Zhou Dingding’s hands and the other in Gu Wan’Er’s.

"This..."

Gu Wan’Er looked up at Gu Zheng, and Zhou Dingding looked at him as well.

"Go ahead and take them," Gu Zheng said with a nod.

"Thank you, sister Princess!" Gu Wan’Er finally broke into a grin and happily accepted them.

"You don’t have to call me Princess." Yang Sanyue smiled even more brightly, pleased that Gu Zheng hadn’t objected.
