Chapter 669: Benefits Make People Jealous
Jian Xiaocao had a fortuitous encounter and completed the seal script that he was born with. On the same day, he returned to his ancestral home and returned to the Gong family of Licheng.

It was a double happiness, and the matter could not be concealed, so Gong simply announced the existence of Jian Xiaocao to the world.

The fate of this female martial artist changed dramatically, and she became the most distinguished member of a noble family in Licheng.

Qianmian Hall immediately updated the beauty list, listing her in the top three, pushing her sister Gong Wanyue down to fifth place.

The peculiarity that she was born with the ability to write seal characters also made many people think of Liu Fengji, and they regarded Jian Xiaocao as the second Liu Fengji.

Of course, there were some minor incidents during this period.

A young man from a branch of the Gong family cried and shouted like crazy, "That was my chance, it should have been me."

"Please, let her find another expert to help me, help me!"

That’s right, it was Gong Xiaoxie. He was completely crazy. He missed such a great opportunity, and the opportunity fell on Jian Xiaocao.

However, his delusion was doomed to fail and no one paid any attention to him.

And the mysterious tattoo artist has also been noticed by many interested people.

Although the Gong family could easily weaken the existence of the mysterious old man, seeing the presence of many wandering warriors that day, a quick calculation showed that the turning point in Jian Xiaocao's fate was due to that old man.

In Chongguang City, Guo Liuhe looked at his eldest grandson, "Well, is this really the Ji you mentioned?"

"Yes, it's the senior. Only he has this method!"

After Guo Bu'ran returned home and talked with his grandfather, he realized how outrageous Zhou You's methods were.

Guo Liuhe is an old man and knows more about tattoo artists than young people.

A tattoo artist needs to do a lot of complicated work before he or she starts writing, including marking nodes, making drafts, drawing lines, and sorting out the trajectories of qi, blood, tendons and bones. It takes a long time to make a plan and you must think carefully before you start.

Every stroke must be made with extreme caution, for fear that a mistake might cause lifelong hidden dangers.

Therefore, in order to complete the birthmark, Liu Fengji hired more than a dozen tattoo artists and spent several decades on the process.

The tattoo artist who called himself "Ji Mou" did not even need to make a draft when he first met Guo Bu Ran. He just took half a day to complete it.

With this kind of strength, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the best master in the world. How could he possibly change his name and give away benefits?

Guo Liuhe was puzzled and could not think of which expert met the requirements.

The answer is no.

If we talk about the old man's identity, he is the best at "painting on parchment" among the four southern families. Mo Bugong meets the requirements. He is also a top figure among tattoo artists.

But it couldn't possibly be her, because although Mo Bugong was an old man, he was not an old man, but an old woman.

That’s right, Mo Bugong is the only female painter among the Four Southern Masters.

The master of the Western Hall of the Buddhist Sect is also a tattoo master, but it is impossible for him to condescend to complete the seal script for Guo Bu'ran. Even Liu Fengji does not have the face to do so.

As for the other famous masters, they were eliminated one by one.

Guo Liuhe was puzzled and thought about it with his eldest grandson after hearing about the turmoil in the Licheng Gong family.

It turns out that the mysterious tattoo master 'Ji Mou' did not 'favor' Guo Bu Ran alone, but rather spread his influence widely to benefit everyone.

What is the purpose?

If it was just for showing off skills, the price would be too high. The labor cost of a tattoo artist is so expensive that even the top families feel the pain. Over the years, the Liu family in the capital city has only produced one Liu Fengji.

Although the ink used by Ji Mou was made from local materials, it took him a lot of effort. "Otherwise, you must remember that this master has given you a new life, and you must find him to thank him."

Guo Liuhe warned earnestly.

The child was ignorant and missed the master because of his caution, and the Guo family also regretted it.

Guo Liuhe knew in his heart that he would not be able to meet Ji in the future, but he still asked Guo Bu'ran to teach him a lesson in his future life: he could be cautious, but not too cautious.

After a few more days, the incidents caused by the mysterious old man became more and more serious.

The Cao family and the Gao family were fighting over the ownership of a clan member, causing a lot of uproar.

The Gao family of Yingjue City is also one of the famous and prominent families in the north. It is located in the neighboring Caoshu Prefecture and originally did not have much dealings with the Cao family.

Now, they are fighting over one person.

The cause was that a young man named Cao Mo'ang from the Cao family fainted in the wild. After waking up, he found that his birthmark had been completed into a seal character.

He lost patience and revealed the matter. Combining it with what happened to Licheng Gong, outsiders quickly concluded that he had also met the mysterious old man and discovered the natural seal script.

Now it's no longer possible to keep a low profile.

Cao immediately sent someone to escort him home, and after careful questioning and inspection, he confirmed the integrity and preciousness of the seal.

Cao Mo'ang was originally from a marginal branch. His mother remarried from another place and married his father, a mediocre and unsuccessful member of the Cao family, for the second time.

With this opportunity, he became a core member of the Weinan Cao family, enjoying unlimited glory. His mother became more honored because of her son, and his father's status in the family was also promoted.

If the story ended here, it would be a happy ending.

Then something happened. Cao Mo'ang's mother's ex-husband was also a member of an aristocratic family, and was from the Gao family of Yingjue City, Caoshuzhou.

The strength and status of the Gao family were in no way inferior to those of the Weinan Cao family.

It just so happened that someone from the Yingjue Gao clan came to Beixuanzhou to join the war. When he heard the news, he refused to give up.

It was claimed that Cao Moang's biological mother was once a daughter-in-law of the Gao family. After she married into the family, she gave birth to Cao Moang. It was very likely that she had been pregnant for a long time. Cao Moang was originally a descendant of the Yingjue Gao family.

Although Cao Mo'ang's family repeatedly provided evidence and even listed the time points, the evidence was irrefutable, proving that Cao Mo'ang was definitely not a member of the Gao family.

However, the Gao family of Yingjue would not give up. They stopped fighting and went straight to Weinan City to launch an attack.

This confusing lawsuit between the two families involved relatives and friends of both sides, causing a lot of uproar.

Some people said, noble families all have the means to check bloodlines, so why can't they even settle such a small matter?

Alas, the two families were fighting for the son, ostensibly for Cao Moang, but in reality they were fighting for the distribution of benefits in this matter.

Yingjue Gao took advantage of the situation and forced Weinan Cao to share the profits and give up their interests.

After all, Cao Mo'ang had been in the Weinan Cao family since he was born, and his identification with the family was deeply rooted. Even if he was abducted by the Yingjue Gao family, it would be impossible for him to return home and change his mind to work for the Gao family.

It can be said that the Cao family is not one to suffer losses. How can you take a bite on their own territory? This is outrageous!

Regardless of his bloodline, Cao Mo'ang is destined to be a descendant of the Cao family. All the benefits of his natural seal script will remain in the Cao family. As for the damn Gao family, go home and have fun, get out!
This matter continued until the end of the war without any result, and there were endless bloody plots.

After this incident, the other children of noble families who were complemented by "Ji Mou" all remained silent.

Like Jian Xiaocao and Cao Mo'ang, they are all unpopular branches of the aristocratic family. Once exposed, they will surely cause endless troubles. It is better for them to develop themselves first.
