Two treasure maps

There was silence in the hall, as if even the air had frozen.

Guo Feipeng wanted to say, "Feng Li was originally from our family?" Later, he was relieved. After all, the treasure map is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages. He took a deep breath and broke the oppressive silence: "Since it has fallen into Uncle San's house, we don't want it..." Although his voice was calm, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, Guo Feimo frowned, stood up abruptly, and said with a hint of excitement: "Why shouldn't we want it? Since it belongs to us, it should be returned to us!" His movements were powerful and firm, and it was obvious that he held a strong stance on this issue.

Guo Liuli could not suppress her dissatisfaction. She glared and said indignantly, "I remember that Fengli was raised in our home at the beginning. Didn't mother have any selfish thoughts?" There was a hint of questioning in her tone, as if she doubted Zhao Ying's actions.

Guo Feimo's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, and he asked anxiously: "Could it be that their mother swapped them when they were young? That's why she doesn't care about Lingli?" His speculation shocked everyone, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.

Zhao Ying looked at the children's reactions and felt helpless. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "God is watching us. We must act in accordance with our conscience." Her voice was soft, but it revealed a firm belief.

However, Guo Feimo did not buy it. He retorted angrily: "If their consciences have been eaten by dogs, how can we still live up to our consciences?" His emotions were obviously out of control, and his tone was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Guo Feipeng looked at the people arguing and felt annoyed. He frowned and tried to calm himself down: "Except for the so-called prophecy, we have no evidence that Feng Li should be reincarnated into our family." His words made everyone fall into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the venue became solemn again.

In this fierce quarrel, it seemed that everyone had forgotten the existence of Guo Lingli. She sat quietly aside, watching the scene in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart. She raised her head, met Guo Lin's inquiring eyes, and said lightly: "If it's not yours, it's not yours. Even if you get it by calculation, it will slip away." Although her voice was calm, it revealed a deep insight and indifference.

Guo Lin listened to Guo Lingli's words, nodded, and raised his hand to stop the quarrel: "Okay, everyone calm down." Although his voice was not loud, it had an unquestionable majesty. With his stop, the atmosphere in the venue finally calmed down.

Guo Xiu heard their words clearly through the little seedling on his finger. He originally just wanted to eavesdrop on the family secret and know the question he has always been concerned about: Who is the girl of heaven's punishment? He didn't expect to hear such a fierce quarrel. At this time, he heard Guo Lingli's words, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

"Will it slip away once you have it in your hand? But if you don't plan, can you still get it?" Guo Xiu pondered this sentence over and over in his mind, frowning, with a hint of confusion and unwillingness in his eyes. He didn't understand why Guo Lingli was so indifferent to fame, wealth and power. Did she really believe in the mysterious saying "If it's not yours, it's not yours"?

Guo Xiu has always been a shrewd and capable person. He believes that only through calculation and planning can he get what he wants. In his opinion, power and status can be obtained through hard work and means, not by prophecy or destiny.

He frowned, his heart full of doubts and puzzlement. How could something that he had calculated slip away so easily? He had always believed that only through calculation and planning could he gain a foothold in this world full of competition and struggle. He constantly fought against the sky and fate, regarded the Jade Emperor as his target, and even did not hesitate to fight and play chess with the Jade Emperor in secret.

However, Guo Lingli's words made him start to reflect on his own approach. Was he on the wrong path all along? He felt a struggle in his heart. On the one hand, he did not want to give up his beliefs and goals; on the other hand, he was touched by Guo Lingli's words and began to doubt whether his approach was correct.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He told himself that the world was cruel, and if he didn't plan and act, he would be devoured by others without leaving even a bone. He couldn't give up his beliefs and goals so easily because of a little girl's words.

However, he also understood that what Guo Lingli said was not without reason. Sometimes, if you are too calculating and scheming, you will lose something more important. He began to think about whether he could learn to let go of some unnecessary struggles and calculations while sticking to his beliefs and goals, and find a more peaceful and real way of life.

Guo Feipeng did not dwell on the previous topic, but changed the subject and looked firmly at his father Guo Lin. "Father, why did you change your mind and re-worship those so-called ancestors? This is totally beyond our expectations." His voice revealed confusion and persistence.

Guo Feimo, Guo Liuli, and Guo Lingli also turned their eyes to their father, their eyes full of doubt and inquiry. Obviously, they did not agree with their father's approach and hoped to hear a reasonable explanation from him.

Guo Lin looked at the children, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his eyes. He sighed deeply, his voice a little heavy: "The thing is, three days ago, when my second uncle's family came, we did discuss it. But at today's family meeting, you all contracted your own guardians, and their strength is obviously extraordinary. And Lingli..." He paused and turned his eyes to Guo Lingli, "She didn't participate, and she lacks a guardian. If the clan requires her to go to the Wild Wolf Valley in a month, who among you can guarantee her safety? When your grandmother mentioned those things, I had already compromised."

Hearing this, Guo Feimo frowned. He stared straight at Guo Lingli, and his voice revealed a hint of determination: "Then replace her and bring Feng Li back."

Guo Feipeng glared at him, with a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach in his tone: "Do you think you are still playing house as a child? In this situation, how can you easily change back? You are too naive!"

Guo Liuli stood aside. She looked at Guo Lingli with a firm look in her eyes. "No matter what, Lingli is our biological sister. I only recognize her."

Guo Lingli was deeply touched by her father's words. She never thought that her father's compromise was because of her. Thinking of how she was angry at the time and did not help him kneeling, she couldn't help but feel guilty and self-blame. She raised her head and looked at her father, her eyes full of gratitude and determination: "Father, I understand. I will work hard and try not to be a burden to you."

Guo Feipeng sighed, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "No matter what, we are still not strong enough. If we had enough power, we wouldn't need to compromise."

Guo Lin nodded, his voice revealing a hint of determination: "Fei Peng is right. We still need to work hard to improve our strength. There is one more thing. If we want to return to the capital, we must pass the imperial examination. We have already discussed this matter. Fei Peng wants to take the imperial examination and go all the way to the capital. But in order to gain the support of the clan, we also need to maintain a good reputation. So based on these two considerations, I have to make such a compromise."

The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became heavy and depressing, and everyone was immersed in their own thoughts.

Contract guardian? This is possible. Guo Xiu is full of expectations for his future life in Guojiazhuang.
