Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 2069: Chapter 1854

"Song Yun, where is my daughter? Hand over my daughter!"

Gu Dou shouted angrily, his eyes as big as bronze bells glaring at Song Yun, almost grabbing Song Yun by the collar.

This is bad, I got fooled by Gu Zi.

Song Yun suddenly understood, Gu Zi said she was going to the Azure Dragon Villa, but she probably didn’t discuss this with her family; it was her own idea.

No wonder she ran so fast, it turns out she was afraid of her old man catching up.

She ran, but her old man, no, it should be my future father-in-law, came looking for me instead.

Song Yun looked at the furious Gu Dou and explained, "Uncle, I haven’t hidden your daughter. You ask me to hand her over, but how can I?"

Gu Dou said angrily, "My daughter said she’s already done that with you, she’ll follow you from now on. You still say you haven’t hidden my daughter?"

Hearing this, Song Yun almost spat out blood.

This Gu Zi, you’re joking too much. When did I do that with you?

Gu Dou’s voice was so loud that even though the participants of the four-gate tournament had left, the Changshan Sect disciples passing by couldn’t help but look over.

The admiration in their eyes for Song Yun suddenly turned into disdain.

It felt as if they were saying, "You little lecher, you did that to someone else and still won’t admit it."

"Uncle, I, Song Yun, dare to accept responsibility for my actions. But nothing really happened between Gu Zi and me."

Song Yun said with a mournful face.

Gu Dou, who was single-minded, didn’t believe Song Yun’s words and said through gritted teeth, "Song Yun, if you don’t hand over my daughter, don’t blame me for being impolite. Don’t think that just because you killed Shen Wenguang, I’ll be afraid of you!"

Looking at Gu Dou’s demeanor, Song Yun was really afraid he would make a move.

Fortunately, at this moment, an elder hurriedly came over with big strides; it was Gu Hong.

Finally, someone who understands reason has come, Song Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Hong came over, glared at his son, and said sternly, "Gu Dou, why are you shouting? Gu Zi is just talking nonsense, why do you believe everything she says?"

Gu Dou scratched his head, "Nonsense?"

Gu Hong said unhappily, "Of course it’s nonsense. That girl is infatuated with the outside’s frivolous world and doesn’t want to return to Gu Village. She’s deliberately deceiving you."

Gu Dou drooped his head, looking clearly a bit fearful of his old man.

"You go back first; I need to say a few words to Song Yun."

Gu Hong glared at Gu Dou. Gu Dou looked depressed and turned away.

"Song Yun, let’s talk inside."

Gu Hong glanced at the surrounding Changshan disciples coming and going, then stepped into the courtyard where Song Yun and Yaksha lived.

"Where’s your master?"

Seeing Yaksha wasn’t there, Gu Hong asked.

Song Yun couldn’t figure out what Gu Hong’s intentions were, so he respectfully replied, "The old man is cultivating and might need another two or three days before finishing."

"Hmm."

Gu Hong nodded, looked at Song Yun, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Song Yun asked, "Is there any trouble, senior? Please speak directly. If this junior can help, I will do my utmost."

"It’s because of that child, Gu Zi." Gu Hong sighed and said, "She has been mischievous since she was a child and caused a lot of trouble. Later, we trapped her in the village with the Hidden Flood Dragon Formation, so she calmed down. But since she went with you to Yanjing, it seems she hasn’t caused any more trouble. I guess this is what they mean by every person has their nemesis."

Gu Hong looked at Song Yun meaningfully, then continued, "I think Gu Zi has grown up, and it’s better to let loose than to restrict too tightly. So, I’ve decided to let her be with you. You can also help us look after her."

Seeing that Gu Hong was so reasonable, Song Yun said, "Don’t worry, senior, I will definitely take good care of Gu Zi."

"Yes, treat her well."

Gu Hong nodded solemnly. After speaking, he stepped away before Song Yun could respond.

With several flickers of his figure, he was already a thousand meters away, and Song Yun couldn’t catch up.

Treat her well!

Song Yun silently recited the phrase, thinking to himself, it seems Gu Hong is entrusting Gu Zi to me.

In the next few days, Song Yun met again with the higher-ups of Gu Village, the Lin Family, and Changshan.

This time, the discussion was about the map of Taoyuan.

Song Yun didn’t hide anything and shared details about the entrance to Taoyuan with everyone.

When they learned about the Nine Palace Illusion Array and the Reverse Locking Array, the leaders of the Hermit Realm’s community all looked bewildered.

Even they had never encountered such formations.

Now, they were even more curious about Song Yun.

This guy seems to know everything.

Knowing they would only meet their demise if they went, they didn’t ask Song Yun for the map but agreed to go together if the Taoyuan gate opened.

Song Yun readily agreed to this.

He believed he couldn’t monopolize the resources in Taoyuan.

Besides, the situation inside was still uncertain.

Having these allies go together would actually be beneficial.

After discussing matters concerning Taoyuan, the next day, Gu Village and the Lin Family left Changshan.

In the end, apart from Song Yun and Yaksha, everyone who came to Changshan from outside had left.

What puzzled Song Yun was that during this time, Dongfang Yun never came to see him.

On this day, Yaksha told Song Yun he was going back to Azure Dragon Temple.

The two went together to visit Huang Jinseng to say goodbye.

"Yaksha, you should stay."

Upon hearing Yaksha was leaving, Huang Jinseng urged him to stay.

Yaksha waved his hand, "If Changshan needs help, I will surely lend a hand. But living here just doesn’t suit me. Living independently in the Green Dragon Sect is more pleasant for me."

Huang Jinseng felt regret at Yaksha’s determination to leave, but he didn’t try to persuade him further.

He knew that persuading him was futile.
