Chapter 177 The City Lord's Mansion's Devastation
After obtaining the spiritual vein, Xu Qingman and her group did not go towards the stone cave, but instead chose another direction.
Whether or not we can find something good is secondary; the most important thing is to avoid attracting attention. After all, what they obtained in the Demon Cave is something most cultivators may never get in their entire lives.
As for the idea of rushing back after obtaining the spiritual vein, that's even more unacceptable.
While others take the opportunity to search for treasure in the Dragon Hidden Mountains after the beast tide, you're rushing back in a hurry. It's no wonder you attract attention.
It would be better to stay in the mountains for a while longer, and leave together when most of the cultivators are ready to leave, so that others won't notice anything amiss.
To prevent the news from being overheard, Xu Qingman also warned the younger ones that no one was allowed to mention anything about the cave again.
It's not that she's timid; if it were just about spiritual veins, they wouldn't mind being a little careful.
The matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is not to be underestimated. If the people of the major sects know that this matter is related to their own, no matter how much you prove that you do not have any demonic items, they will not believe you.
They will only take direct action to nip the problem in the bud, and they won't care about accidental injuries.
The loss to the cultivation world ten thousand years ago was too great. Now, everyone who hears about the Myriad Demon Cave will show no mercy.
The group wandered around the Dragon Hidden Mountains for nearly a month. As they encountered fewer and fewer people, they took the opportunity to leave.
Upon returning to Dragon Hidden City, they were shocked to learn that the city lord, Ji Hanzhou, and his family had been expelled from the city.
Before leaving, aside from the items in his personal storage magic treasure, almost everything in the manor, including several spirit stone mines and shops, was forced to be compensated to the few businesses that suffered the greatest losses eighty years ago.
After this, Dragon Hidden City will no longer have a city lord, but will be jointly managed by the five major sects.
From then on, Dragon Hidden City will be guarded by the five major sects on a rotating basis, changing every ten years.
All the resources left behind by the City Lord's Mansion, as well as the taxes from Dragon Hidden City, belong to whichever family is stationed there.
Of course, the five major sects also promised that if the Dragon Hidden Mountains launch another beast tide in the future, they would no longer force the residents of the city to take action, but would instead have the people of the five major sects take turns to intercept them.
After hearing this, Xu Qingman and her husband reminded themselves that if they wanted to have a good and long-lasting career in the cultivation world, they had to be more careful about every detail, because a moment of carelessness could lead to the extermination of their clan.
Even a family like the Ji family, which had been the leader of Dragon Hidden City for thousands of years, was driven out like a stray dog because of a wrong decision.
As for where the Ji family went afterward, no one knows. It is only said that after being expelled from the City Lord's Mansion, they left Dragon Hidden City through the teleportation array on the same day.
Although the people from the five major sects said that the Ji family could live in the city, they would only be able to live like other ordinary residents.
Having dominated the city for thousands of years, how could the Ji family possibly accept suddenly becoming an ordinary family overnight?
Although most of the wealth has been seized by the five major sects, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and they certainly don't lack resources such as spirit stones.
Finding a slightly remote place is always better than staying in Dragon Hidden City and living in constant fear. After all, it wasn't just the five major sects that suffered losses eighty years ago; they haven't received any compensation yet.
Seeing how unreliable the Ji family's patriarch was, Yu Jinchen felt that his own father, Ding Changchun, was alright. Apart from disagreeing with his marriage to Manman, he hadn't done anything unforgivable.
As for saying he didn't acknowledge himself back then, it was just something he said in a fit of anger.
None of what happened in his childhood was caused by Ding Changchun. In a way, he was also a victim. It can only be said that fate played a cruel trick on him.
The biggest mistake Ding Changchun made was that he couldn't bear to part with his daughter, Ding Xuefang.
Although he didn't understand it, Yu Jinchen thought that if Ding Changchun had seen his own son succeed instead of his adopted daughter, he might still have some resentment.
Furthermore, although Ding Changchun had come to Lingchuan Continent with Zhan Guang and accepted the things he was given, he never asked for any benefits, nor did he try to go back with him because of his father's status.
Ding Changchun had already met the two older ones, but he had never met the twins before. Yu Jinchen still wanted to take them to meet him before leaving.
"Slowly, before I leave, I want to take the children to meet their grandfather."
Yu Jinchen didn't ask Xu Qingman if she agreed, because he knew that as long as he brought it up, his wife wouldn't object, and asking again would only make it seem like he didn't trust her.
Xu Qingman smiled at him, "Oh, I thought it was something important. You've been preoccupied with this these past few days, is it because of this? Go ahead and go, I won't object."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jinchen immediately laughed, "Thank you, wife. You're so kind. I promise I'll only take the children to see him, and at most give him some gifts. I definitely won't take him to our house."
Xu Qingman snorted coldly and said, "If I agree, I'm a good person; if I don't agree, then I'm a bad person."
Although he knew she was just joking, Yu Jinchen quickly flattered her, "No, no, how could that be? In my heart, my wife has always been the best wife in the world."
"Alright, if you're going, then hurry up and go. Aren't we planning to leave Dragon Hidden City tomorrow?"
Despite being pushed out the door by his wife, Yu Jinchen wasn't angry at all. Instead, he went to find his two sons with a smile on his face.
He didn't ask Xu Qingman to go with him, after all, Ding Changchun had really angered her back then. He not only wanted to lay a hand on her, but even said things like "divorce her on behalf of her son."
Yu Jinchen thought that if he were treated like that, he definitely wouldn't be willing to forgive.
Yu Jinchen was already very touched that his daughter-in-law was giving him face and agreeing to let the children meet their grandfather.
Xu Qingman, of course, could not object. As a parent herself, she could fully understand the feelings between parents and children.
Xu Qingman thought to herself that over the years, her husband had always treated her parents as his own, and whether it was cultivation resources or anything else, he had always treated them better than most people would treat their own parents.
Her husband treats her parents so well, she can't possibly object to such a small request, otherwise what kind of person would she be?
As for seeing her, Xu Qingman never even considered it. In Ding Changchun's eyes, she was just an outsider, so there was no need for her to rush to see him.
"Dad, where are you taking me and my brother?" Xu Shunuo asked.
"Yes, Father, why didn't you call Mother?"
Xu Shuyang also found it strange that his father and mother were always inseparable. Unless there was absolutely no other way, his father would take his mother with him wherever they went.
"Your father will take you to see your grandfather. As for your mother, your grandfather didn't like her before, so there's no need for you to see her."
Xu Shuyang exclaimed in surprise, "Grandfather, Dad, so we have a grandfather too?"
Yu Jinchen laughed and scolded, "You child, do you think I sprang from a rock and became a monkey? How could I not have a father?"
dong dong dong...
As they talked, the father and his two sons soon arrived at Ding Changchun's courtyard and gently knocked on the gate.
