Guan Xilin and Ye Jing were resting in the Qiao family’s small courtyard that night. Patriarch Qiao went around the courtyard after the banquet, his hands clasped behind his back and a faint frown on his face.
“are you looking for , Father?” When Qiao Yinuo entered, he was surprised to see his father walking about the courtyard.
‘When Patriarch Qiao saw him approaching, he sat down at a table in the courtyard and asked, “Think again. When you were on your way, did Young Master Guan say anything about his identity or make an unintentional reference to soone?”
Qiao Yinuo was taken aback. “Why are you questioning in this manner, Father? What kind of person is Brother Guan? What’s his identity? It shouldn’t have anything to do with us, should it?”
For a long ti, Patriarch Qiao remained silent. “Seeing him tonight reminds of soone, but I’m not sure.”
“Who?” Qiao Yinuo was curious.
“Did you know that Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu has an adoptive brother?” Patriarch Qiao asked, casting a gaze at him.
“I think I’ve heard of it.” Qiao Yinuo gave a nod. “They are said to have a very good relationship.”
“Do you know what her adoptive brother’s na is?” Patriarch Qiao inquired once more.
“It appears that the surna is Guan, but I have no idea what his na is.” After all, it’s a long way away, and they’d never t before. Even if he had heard of it, he had dismissed it.
“Guan Xilin, the brother of Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, is known as Guan Xilin.” Patriarch Qiao stated, his eyes gleaming. “He is said to be holding a long sword, a rare divine weapon.”
Qiao Yinuo was taken aback. “Father, are you saying that Brother Guan is Guan Xilin, Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu’s brother?”
“That’s correct.” He nodded. “After seeing him tonight, I sensed that this man has extraordinary montum and is a mystical energy cultivator. He can also fight a large number of powerful exponents at the Celestial rank on his own.”
He stood up and spoke with his hands behind his back. “Your grandfather has been unconscious since he t danger abroad a year ago. The news has been blocked. The outside world does not know. He is the pillar of our Qiao clan, if people outside know that he fell, our Qiao clan will be suppressed.”
His voice paused, he turned to face Qiao Yinuo, and said, “I also went to Heavenly PIll Tower and asked Ghost Doctor to treat your grandfather, but I didn’t even see her face. If Young Master Guan, who ca to our house today, is indeed Ghost Doctor’s brother, we cannot let such a good opportunity pass
us by.”
‘When Qiao Yinuo heard the news, he was taken aback. “Is Grandfather unconscious? You never ntioned it to , Father…”
“Only several clan elders and I know about this, and I told you today because I saw a glimr of hope.”
Qiao Yinuo paused for a mont after hearing his reply and then said, “Il go to the North Courtyard and inquire. If Brother Guan is indeed Ghost Doctor’s brother, I’ll request that he intercede on our behalf and allow Ghost Doctor to et us.”
“Twill go with you. ” Patriarch Qiao said and motioned to him to go with him.
So, the father and son went to the North Courtyard.
Guan Xilin, who had returned to the North Courtyard, sat down in the courtyard, letting the cool breeze wash away his tipsiness. After Ye Jing twisted a towel and gave it to him to wipe his face, she sat down at the table. “Why do I have the impression that Patriarch Qiao has been trying to find out about
your identity tonight?”
Guan Xilin smiled. “It’s not just your impression. He indeed wanted to inquire, but it’s not a good idea to ask directly.” The feeling of drunkenness vanished after he wiped his face..
