Chapter 6: Genealogy Controversy (Part )

Facing Guo Feipeng's radical attitude and the support of his two younger brothers and sister, Grandfather Guo Yun knew that he couldn't force it. Guo Feipeng had already made some achievements in both civil and martial arts, and had even learned simple immortal arts. If he took tough measures at this time, once the situation got out of control, Guo Feipeng might summon the divine fire to burn the family tree, which would really be a loss.

Guo Yun looked at his second brother Yun Xin, hoping to get his support or advice. Although Yun Xin did not speak, he glanced at his sister-in-law, and Guo Yun immediately understood. He realized that this matter was not only for men like them to decide, but also needed to listen to the opinions of the women in the family, especially his wife.

Guo Feipeng saw this scene and couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart. He clearly remembered that the reason why his family was expelled from the house was just because of a dream of his grandmother. In that dream, his grandmother insisted that Guo Feipeng's father ordered two tigers to kill her, so she asked the twins who were born in the year of the tiger to be raised separately. However, Guo Feipeng knew very well that he only had one sister, Guo Lingli, and the so-called Guo Fengli was actually the child of his third uncle. He didn't understand why his grandmother made such a decision in the name of his father.

Now, Guo Feipeng is worried that if his grandmother speaks again, other members of the family may side with her again, and his own and his family's efforts may go to waste. He is well aware of his grandmother's influence in the family, and he knows that he must be careful not to make the situation more difficult for himself and his family.

Sure enough, my grandfather just said, "We also need to get your grandmother's opinion on this matter."

The grandmother who was good at pretending to be confused and making trouble was sitting in the middle of the main room at this moment, with a firm and stubborn light flashing in her eyes. Although her voice was a little hoarse, every word revealed unquestionable majesty.

"Guo Lin, you are the legitimate son and the bloodline of the Guo family. You must be the one to worship this family tree!" Xia's voice echoed in the ancestral hall with an unquestionable firmness.

Guo Lin knelt in front of Xia, with an embarrassed look on his face. He glanced at his wife Zhao, who was kneeling beside him. Zhao lowered her head and clasped her hands together, obviously feeling uneasy.

"Mom, I know the importance of the family tree, but Feipeng and the others think that the task of offering sacrifices should be distributed according to the family's population and contributions..." Guo Lin tried to explain, but was interrupted by Xia before he could finish his words.

"What do Feipeng and the others think? What do they know! They are the younger generation and should obey the arrangements of their elders!" Xia's tone became increasingly severe, her chest heaving, and she was obviously angry.

Seeing this, Zhao summoned up the courage to defend herself, "Mother, Feipeng and the others are doing this for the good of the family. They think this way of allocating family tree offerings is fairer..."

"Fair? What fairness?" Xia suddenly stood up and raised her voice by eight octaves. "I am your grandmother, and what I say is fair! You are being unfilial!"

As soon as Xia's words fell, the ancestral hall fell into silence. Zhao was so scared that she dared not speak anymore and could only stand aside silently. Guo Lin also had a bitter smile on his face. He knew his mother's temper and knew that it was futile to explain at this moment.

If she fainted, things would become even more troublesome, so she had to remain silent and signaled to her sons to stop talking.

Xia began to cry, her voice trembling with indescribable sadness and sorrow: "I worked hard to raise you. When you were little, you were hard to feed, so I offered sacrifices to Zhang Xian and asked him to beat the dog to prevent it from taking you away. Now you have grown up and become independent, and your children have grown up too, so you can no longer be unfilial. This genealogy is the root of my Guo family, how could you be so careless!"

She clapped her hands and cried loudly, tears streaming down her wrinkles. Guo Lin felt unusually heavy-hearted, and dared not look at his wife and children. He just couldn't help crying and said, "I confess!"

It is said that men do not shed tears easily, only because they are not deeply sad. Guo Lin secretly made up his mind that this was the last time to compromise.

Kneeling, Guo Feipeng closed his eyes, knowing that the beatings he and his brothers and sisters had received were in vain. He hated his father's compromise and foolish filial piety, and his mother's kindness and weakness. A strong sense of anger and helplessness surged in his heart. He clenched his fists, as if he could feel the sweat in his palms and the tension in his muscles.

When Guo Feimo and Guo Liuli saw how sad their second brother was, they forgot the pain in their bodies, knew that this struggle had failed, and knelt there dejectedly.

Guo Lingli walked over and tried to help his second brother up, but his grandmother, Xia, shouted, "Kneel down! No one can get up without my permission!"

Guo Lingli ignored her, holding her second brother with one hand, pointing to the sky with the other, and looked at her and said, "God is watching what you do. Don't think that God has no eyes. It's just a matter of whether he cares or not!"

She didn't know if it was because of these words that scared them. She only knew that they didn't stop her until she helped up her second brother, third brother, eldest sister, and mother. She didn't go to help her father. In her eyes, it was her father's indulgence that led to her grandparents' bullying.

As soon as they reached the door, their younger sister Guo Meili came over, held by her adoptive father Chang Tianshuo, as if she had just been found.

She didn't know what was going on, so she stretched out her hands for her mother to hold her. Her third brother, Guo Feimo, took her and said, "Let's go home."

Guo Feipeng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that in order to change the fate of his family, he needed more preparation and effort. He believed that as long as he and his family were united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties one day and make the family shine again. However, the family in his heart had already excluded his grandparents.

Emperor Guo Xiu of Xiu State had never expected that he would encounter such a good show as soon as he arrived here. Originally, he learned that the son of the Jade Emperor had come down to earth to experience tribulations, and in order to make things difficult for the Jade Emperor, he bestowed a surname called Guo on the father of the Jade Emperor's son. However, Emperor Guo Xiu had clearly announced that only the Guo Yun branch could enjoy the honor of the national surname Guo, and the rest of the brothers were not allowed to use this surname.

However, the current situation surprised the emperor. Yuan Mu Enbo's ambition seemed to exceed the emperor's expectations. Not only did he use the national surname for himself, he also tried to use the genealogy to make the entire family surname Guo.

He sneered in his heart: Do they all want to be related to the Jade Emperor and be ranked together with him?

No! How did they know Guo Lin's origins? And they even prepared a family tree and designated him as the one to be worshipped?

Emperor Guo Xiu could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He realized that this was not only a blatant provocation to his imperial order, but also a serious trampling on the dignity of the royal family. He understood that there must be a master behind this, inciting and planning, trying to take advantage of the opportunity of the Jade Emperor's son coming down to earth to experience tribulations, to expand their own power.

But is this master behind the scenes targeting the Jade Emperor or him? Or is the Jade Emperor making fun of himself, just to temper his reincarnated son?

This matter is complicated and confusing. We can't act rashly. We should wait and see. Life! Finally, there is some fun.

Guo Xiu instructed Chang Tianlong beside him, "Find me a position in Guojiazhuang. Set the character as amnesiac, mute, and surnamed Mo." He could not forget the scene when the little girl trembled with fear when she heard his voice. He was also worried that someone would recognize his voice, so he decided not to speak.

Chang Tianlong was very interested in the folded blanket in his master's hand. Judging from the pattern, it seemed to be used by girls. How did it end up in his master's hands?

He naturally said respectfully to his master's order: "No problem, I'll do it right away."
