I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

He retreated unwillingly.

The Patriarch looked at her and said, "From now on, your position as Young Patriarch will be restored."

Seeing his condescending eyes, she said, "No! I'd better concentrate on my cultivation."

The Patriarch stared at her with wide eyes, unable to believe that she didn't care about the position of Young Patriarch. Wasn't she doing all this just to get the position back?

A light bulb went off in my head, and I remembered that the rumors had not been dealt with yet.

"I'll help you deal with the rumors. You can just focus on being the Young Master."

He thought Dongfeng Xiyue was just worried about the rumors. Dongfeng Xiyue did not argue. It needed to be dealt with anyway, and he didn't want to do it himself.

The patriarch's eyes flickered, and he coughed and said, "Is Gu Liyue in Suzaku City? Find a time for her to meet me!"

He thought of Gu Liyue's extraordinary cultivation and the power of her contracted beast, and his interest in her grew.

He thought that recruiting her into the Dongfeng family was something he had asked for, given the Dongfeng family's reputation, and there was no way Gu Liyue would refuse.

Dongfeng Xiyue asked, "Why does the Patriarch want to see her?"

"Just think of it as me thanking her for her help tonight!" he replied indifferently.

"There's no need. I can help you convey my gratitude to her." Dongfeng Xiyue said.

The patriarch thought Xiyue wanted to say that as the patriarch, there was no need for him to meet Gu Liyue, a small figure, and his expression eased a lot.

But he really wanted to meet her, to meet this amazing granddaughter.

The patriarch made the final decision: "Tomorrow, I will let Dong Fengwen handle it, and you will still be the young patriarch. Please find a time when you can, and I can go see Gu Liyue."

He thought that this arrangement was the biggest concession he had made.

Unexpectedly, Dongfeng Xiyue remained unmoved.

"I don't know if I can ask her out, but I'll try."

When the head of the family heard Xiyue's words, he realized that he had misunderstood her. She thought that Gu Liyue didn't want to see him.

"Okay, you can go down." The head of the family looked at Xiyue's stubborn look and said tiredly.

Since he failed to control Xiyue last time, he no longer dared to speak in a condescending manner, for fear that she would really quit.

Dongfeng Xiyue walked out.

The next day, Dongfeng Xiyue came to the Xuantian Sect store to see Gu Liyue.

In the backyard, several people sat together.

Aunt Yu said happily, "This morning, I went out on the street and didn't hear the old rumors. Instead, someone was talking about the battle in the sky last night over the Dongfeng family. Xuanhuo was really powerful. Miss, have you regained your position as the young master of the family?"

"I guess so. It's just a little more work every day." Dongfeng Xiyue said to Gu Liyue, "Xuanhuo was injured last night. I don't know how serious your injury is."

Gu Liyue recalled Xuanhuo's return last night. He had only told her that he had only suffered minor injuries and that they shouldn't be serious. "He said they were just minor injuries."

Dongfeng Xiyue asked again: "The Dongfeng family leader wants to see you, what do you think?"

Gu Liyue said indifferently: "I'll listen to you. If you ask me to go see him, I will go see him."

Dongfeng Xiyue said, "I guess he wants to win you over to the Dongfeng family."

"I will not join any aristocratic family. I am doing well in Xuantian Sect. I will not join the Dongfeng family." Gu Liyue said.

Dongfeng Xiyue: "I also know that you won't enter the Dongfeng family, and I don't want you to enter the Dongfeng family."

Gu Liyue said, "I came here in a hurry this time because I wanted to help you deal with the rumors. Now that this matter is over, I also want to return to the sect as soon as possible."

Dongfeng Xiyue said, "Since he wants to see you, go meet him. This will save him from having to worry about it. If there's anything, explain it to him face to face so he won't remember it later. If you want to return to the sect early, then we can arrange to meet in the afternoon at a teahouse in the city, okay?"

Dongfeng Xiyue instinctively didn't want to set the location at Dongfeng's house, for fear of meeting too many people, and also afraid that once she entered Dongfeng's house, it would be difficult to get out, which would only cause trouble.

Gu Liyue nodded: "Okay."

In the afternoon, Dongfeng Xiyue booked the entire teahouse in the largest teahouse in Zhuque City. The teahouse owner knew that the Dongfeng family was wealthy, and the time he booked was also a period when the teahouse's business was slow, so he was happy with it.

However, Dongfeng Xiyue requested that everyone in the restaurant must leave during that hour. The boss thought about it and agreed.

He thought that the Dongfeng family was wealthy and would never treat him unfairly. In fact, he also earned a generous income.

At noon, Gu Liyue and the head of the Dongfeng family arrived at the teahouse one after another.

Dongfeng Xiyue set out tea and fruits in the private room upstairs.

There were only three of them in the entire teahouse.

The three of them sat down. Gu Liyue looked up and found that the person sitting opposite her was a middle-aged male cultivator. He was wearing an exquisite robe embroidered with intricate array patterns and runes.

His black hair was half tied up in a jade crown, half left loose, and some white hairs were mixed in with the black hair at his temples. His facial features were handsome, but there were deep nasolabial folds. His eyes were majestic and calculating, and it was obvious at a glance that he had been in power for many years.

While Gu Liyue was looking at the head of the Dongfeng family, the head of the Dongfeng family was also looking at her.

He felt that Gu Liyue did bear some resemblance to Dongfeng Xiyue. She had delicate features that gave her a bright and beautiful appearance, yet her temperament was somewhat aloof, carrying an air of nobility and inviolability.

Facing a strong man like herself, she was not afraid and looked at him with a straightforward gaze.

He sighed in his heart, he is indeed a young talent!

Dongfeng Xiyue looked at the two people looking at each other without saying a word.

The Dongfeng Patriarch had no choice but to ask, "Is this Gu Liyue?"

Gu Liyue said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Meeting Master Dongfeng, I am indeed Gu Liyue."

"I heard that you are my daughter's daughter. I wonder where you have been living all these years?" asked the head of the Dongfeng family tenderly.

"Just stay in the corner. We've been through all these years, and I don't want to say much." Gu Liyue didn't want to talk about her so-called father.

Seeing her expression, the Dongfeng family head guessed that those years had been tough for her. He agreed with her and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the past. Thank you for letting your contracted beast help last night."

As he said that, he took out a Qiankun bag and handed it over. This was a thank you gift.

Gu Liyue glanced at Dongfeng Xiyue and said, "No need to thank me, I'm helping my mother."

Seeing Dongfeng Xiyue nod, she put it away.

The head of the Dongfeng family looked at her attitude and felt that she didn't care about his thank-you gift.

He said, "I can acknowledge you. Do you want to enter the Dongfeng family as my granddaughter?"

Gu Liyue said: "No."

The head of the Dongfeng family didn't expect that she would refuse without hesitation, which made him not know what to say.

"why?"

"I'm living a good life in Xuantian Sect now. I have my friends and teachers there. I don't think my mother is happy in the Dongfeng family either, and people have spread such rumors about her." Gu Liyue's tone was filled with disdain for the Dongfeng family. "I don't want to be on guard all the time."
