Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 357. Surprising News

Concubine Shi opened the door of Fang Yin's room and was shocked when she saw a servant standing right before her. The waiter also did not know that someone would open the door because he did not hear footsteps.

The waiter immediately retreated with a bow of respect. Behind him was a familiar person to Consort Shi, Xiao Chang.

Earlier this morning he had indeed asked the maid to deliver Xiao Chang to Fang Yin's palace. However, their arrival was unknown as the maids did not make a sound.

"You surprised me. Next time you talk, don't shut up! There's no need to be afraid to tell you about your arrival."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chang and the waiter walked up to Concubine Shi into Fang Yin's room. Seeing the maid coming in, Consort Shi sighed to breathe in a breath of patience. The new servant did not understand anything about the job.

"You stay here." Concubine Shi pointed at Xiao Chang then pointed at the waiter and said again, "You can go."

Despite being extremely upset, Consort Shi tried to speak softly to them. It took boundless patience to teach the new servants and new bodyguards because Fang Yin had deliberately chosen an inexperienced person. New people tend to be more loyal and have no tendency to betray.

Fang Yin smiled at the patient manner of his mother. Then a moment later he looked at the man standing before him and showed it carefully. It was no stranger to his face.

Their distance was far enough that Fang Yin felt he had not seen it clearly. He moved and walked closer to her. Getting closer, he could see Xiao Chang's face similar to Gu Tian Feng's.

"Are you not from here?" fang Yin asked to start the conversation by standing up.

Xiao Chang put his hands together to pay his respects and introduced himself.

"My name is Xiao Chang. Right, Your Majesty, I am from Qiong City the state capital of the same name."

Fang Yin nodded.

"I heard you're looking for a job here, is that true?" Fang Yin again asked for certainty.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Yin did not want to make a decision quickly. Who Xiao Chang was was still a mystery. Only Gu Tian Feng could answer this riddle considering that the Old Chief and Sect Leader had returned to the Golden Lake Mountain.

"Sit down! I'll think of what job you deserve."

It was only Fang Yin's reason alone, the truth was that he wanted to wait for Gu Tian Feng to see the clarity of Xiao Chang's bloodline status. There was no way he would hire his clan sibling as a servant or a bodyguard.

Concubine Shi sat beside Fang Yin facing towards Xiao Chang. They were silent in each other's minds. This state lasted for a while until the bodyguards guarding the front of the room informed Gu Tian Feng of his arrival.

Fang Yin and Consort Shi welcomed her arrival and asked her to sit down. Gu Tian Feng sat beside Xiao Chang.

Before Fang Yin said anything, Gu Tian Feng already had a premonition. Even though his eyes were blind, his heart eyes were extremely sharp. Ever since his arrival he had continued to pay attention to Xiao Chang like he had found something interesting.

"Yin'er, do you know this young man?" gu Tian Feng asked turning his body around looking at Fang Yin.

"I just met him today. He was from Qiong City in Qiong State. I felt that he had a face similar to uncle's but I didn't dare to speculate without proof" Fang Yin explained.

Gu Tian Feng looked back at Xiao Chang. His curiosity made him want to read Xiao Chang's bloodline through his body and the smell of his blood.

"Uncle, did uncle not recognize his body like when we first met?" Fang Yin urged Tian Feng to immediately investigate about the Xiao Chang bloodline.

Fang Yin's nature did not have patience. He wanted everything to go his way as long as it did not bother others.

"Wait a minute, Yin'er. Even though I felt it, I still had to ask her permission. Not everyone is willing to open up their past like it did for you. You're resisting the time I'm gonna touch your shoulder, aren't you?"

Tian Feng's reply made Fang Yin grimace. The beginning of their meeting was indeed tinged with ridiculous things that were hard to forget.

"Uncle still remembers it apparently. Time has passed for a long time, uncle still keeps on remembering her."

"Where might I forget my brave and a little foolish niece."

Tian Feng's words made Fang Yin glare. His mouth prepared to reply to his uncle's words but Tian Feng spoke again.

"But that was before. I wanted to ask this young man. What's yourname?" Tian Feng did not want to argue with Fang Yin which would be endless.

Xiao Chang's face was a little panicked but he tried to calm down. He did not expect that it would be like this. Everything that happened was far beyond his shadow.

"My name is Xiao Chang, sir. I am an orphan. All this time I was living with my maternal grandfather" Xiao Chang explained.

Actually Tian Feng did not need an explanation from Xiao Chang as he would know a more complete thing than that as he touched his shoulder and stared at the depths of his soul.

"May I look deeper into the flesh and blood of your descendants?" tian Feng asked for permission.

"Please, Sir. As long as it doesn't make me die, I won't mind."

Xiao Chang's innocent answer made Tian Feng and Fang Yin laugh. The young man apparently had a humorous nature.

"will not. Unless you have a problem with your heart. Are you ready?" ask Tian Feng again.

"Ready, Sir."

'After this I will know the true origin of my father. The name written on the cloth and pendant I was wearing was not strong enough to be proof that I was a descendant of the Gu Clan. Whatever the outcome, this is a truth that I must accept.' Xiao Chang prepared to accept a reality.

Tian Feng touched Xiao Chang's shoulder then started to feel his body. Tian Feng's strength brought Xiao Chang away from entering his subconscious. There he was like seeing a bad event where a group was dealing with a herd of bandits.

"I'm where is this? No. .. no. This is like a dream. I don't know all these people. They look so foreign."

Xiao Chang watched the ruthless bandit slaughter the entire entourage brutally. They took away the property they owned and left.

A blind boy inching backwards left the place and survived. That child was Tian Feng who back then was still very weak and crybaby.

Xiao Chang's gaze turned to a servant holding a baby. Seeing the bandit walking towards him, he hid the baby behind a big tree. Luckily the baby was asleep and not crying so the bandits didn't kill him either.

The waiter who was carrying her did not intend to leave her. He did run but he would come back to pick her up once it was safe. However, fate said otherwise, the servant was caught by the bandits and was finished off by them right then and there.

The poor baby was alone in the woods. When feeling thirsty the baby cried loudly and made Xiao Chang's grandfather who was looking for firewood around the place find it. He brought the baby home.

At home he also has a baby who may only have a few months younger than the baby he found. Lin Juan's wife died while giving birth to her daughter Lin Hua. When she left, she left the baby to her mother who lived not far from her home.

"Whose baby are you carrying, Juan'er?" ask mother.

"I don't know, Mother. I found it in the woods. Seeing him so thirsty I felt pity. Let him be my adopted son, Mother. I'll work even harder to raise them."

"The handsome baby. You're correct. As long as you're alive, you'll help you raise her. Does this baby have a name?" ask Lin Juan's mother.

Lin Juan shook his head. He deliberately hid the baby's personal belongings. He did not want to use it but to give it to the baby after he grew up.

The baby was given the name Xiao An remembering in the embroidered cloth written the name Gu Tian An. The more days Xiao An grew the more rapidly. Xiao An and Lin Hua entered the academy together.

They have incredible achievements in martial arts. At a very young age Xiao An and Lin Hua were already the best graduates.

Xiao An fell in love with Lin Hua, and vice versa. However, they did not dare to establish a relationship with each other considering that the two were brothers. Lin Juan finally told the two that they had no blood relation at all.

The news made Xiao An feel both sad and happy. Sad as she did not know where her origin was and happy that she could marry Lin Hua after this.

Carefully Xiao An spoke to Lin Juan to look for the whereabouts of his parents. He just wanted to know without any other intention.

Lin Juan let Xiao An go. Armed with a jade pendant and a cloth bearing the name he went on an adventure to find his family. The clue led him to the Empire of the Eastern Continent, which was still ruled by Emperor Gu, Fang Yin's father.

Xiao An did not necessarily reveal his identity which was a descendant of the Gu Clan. He devoted himself to being a soldier while searching for information about his family.

For five years he lived in the palace as a chosen warrior. In the fifth year he had just discovered the sad facts about his family who had died in the entourage due to the robbery of the Iron Mask Bandit.

After finding out that there was no longer any family there, Xiao An chose to return to Qiong City. Until his death no one knew if he was Gu Tian Feng's cousin Gu Tian An. Xiao An then married Lin Hua and owned Xiao Chang.

Although no one knew that he was of the Gu family, he was secretly helping Emperor Gu when the rebellion was about to be carried out by Emperor Ning. Actually he already knew earlier about the plan but did not have the courage to fight back.

Xiao An, who was known as the Eastern Swordsman, received an invitation from King Qiong to join him in a coup. Xiao An refused. This refusal led to an assault by some strong cultivators and got himself and his wife killed.

Xiao An's story ended up here.

The shadow about Xiao Chang's past stopped. However, this memory already showed something obvious where he was the son of the cousin of the person currently beside him.

Xiao Chang's tears fell without excuse. To a man this looks very embarrassing. Actually he was already trying to hold it back but those tears were stronger than the storm.

"Xiao Chang's. You are the son of Tian An!" screeched Tian Feng who directly hugged Xiao Chang.

They dissolve in novelty. Their mouths did not utter words but their hearts revealed a deep sadness.

"We are still the three of us as the Gu Clan" Fang Yin said.

Hearing Fang Yin's words, Tian Feng and Xiao Chang let go of his embrace. They try to control themselves and act calmer.

"Yin'er, we still have one more family member from the Gu Clan." Tian Feng was delighted.

"Xiao Chang, what happened to you until you were separated from your family?" fang Yin asked, only Xiao Chang and Tian Feng knew the true story of the lives of Xiao Chang and Gu Tian An.

Tian Feng recounted the image that flashed in Xiao Chang's subconscious as he read the air of his body. The difficult and miserable life that the two lived was not much different. Xiao An had been orphaned since infancy and Xiao Chang had been orphaned since childhood.

Fang Yin's tears fell apart hearing their life story. He is still a little lucky because he still has a mother even though he previously suffered not much different from them.

A difficult life teaches them how to fight to be strong. All the luxuries and power gained today will not make them become arrogant and forget themselves. They can feel life from before it becomes anything to being someone who has everything.

"Xiao Chang, I want you to strengthen the power that I will form in a moment. It is time for the Gu Clan to rise from its decline after all this time we are at a low point and almost wiped out."

"I'm ready to take orders, Your Majesty. But I still have a grandfather who lives in Qiong City."

"Just bring it to this city" Fang Yin said.

Xiao Chang shook his head. Grandpa wouldn't want to. His love for my grandmother and parents made him not want to leave his home.

This answer made Fang Yin think. It was not that he did not want to hold Xiao Chang to stay but his adab and habit would certainly make it difficult for him to adjust to the new environment. The power of the Qiong State was still empty, he wanted Xiao Chang to hold it.

"Xiao Chang, I'll get you into the government academy. The Qiong State is currently empty. I want you to lead and be king there. That way you can still work and take care of your grandfather as well."

Xiao Chang looked down miserably. He remembered a few days ago that he had left home without saying goodbye to his grandfather. His grandfather had no idea if he had gone to this palace to find out about his family.

"I'm guilty of my grandfather. He doesn't know where I'm going because I went quietly from home to here."

Fang Yin shook his head. He realized his mischief in the past. It seemed to have become a bad habit of the Gu Clan who always felt right and liked at will.

"Not to be afraid. I also make mistakes often. Your grandfather only had you, he must have forgiven you. After this, you can go home and tell me who you are. It takes at least two knowing you have to learn about statecraft and government in the academy. Your grandfather would not mind."

Fang Yin's explanation made him feel happy. Now he feels he has a sister who always guides him.

Xiao Chang was very grateful. The next morning Fang Yin asked a few bodyguards to drive him home to Qiong City. For today, he was free to wander around with the guards to see every corner of the palace.

Inside the room Fang Yin now lived herself, her mother and uncle. They enjoyed a warm drink and some cakes provided by the waiter.

Since earlier his mother had looked awkward whenever she had a look with Tian Feng. The attitude that Fang Yin thought was different from his habits all along. His mother was usually very friendly with his uncle.

"I feel like I'm sitting in the middle of a statue," Fang Yin annoyed as she looked at her mother and uncle alternately.

"Ah, sorry, Yin'er. Mom doesn't have anything to talk about. So ... I'm silent if I'm not asked to speak."

Fang Yin's violent breath sounds sounded like a snort. It was like he was blowing everything on his mother but it was impossible. There was no way he would get angry at the gentle-hearted woman who always loved him sincerely.

Jian Heng came to enter the room and saluted Fang Yin's mother and uncle before taking his seat. She felt something strange with the sour face of her lover.

"It looks like I came at an inopportune moment. My heart ached when I saw that sour face of yours, Yin'er," said Jian Heng who disliked Fang Yin's attitude.

Fang Yin only realized that others could see his attitude change. He immediately fixed his expression by putting on a smile. However, that forced smile instead made him look even stranger.

"You didn't eat anything wrong, did you?" jian Heng asked.

Not wanting Jian Heng to increasingly feel misunderstood, Fang Yin brought his mouth closer and whispered, "I was astonished by the attitude of Tian Feng's mother and uncle. Are they angry or what. They've been quiet since."

Jian Heng rounded his eyes and moved his head around to look towards Concubine Shi but Fang Yin pulled her head to keep her facing towards him. Fang Yin's blinking eyes beckoned for him to feign ignorance.

"What are you guys doing?" tian Feng asked.

"Nothing." Fang Yin pushed Jian Heng's body away.

"I'll marry you soon. There's nothing more to wait for" Consort Shi added.

"Jie'er, don't be. Once things are really set, they get married too. We as parents just support."

Tian Feng's call to his mother sounded very strange. It was only the first time that Jian Heng and Fang Yin heard him call out so. The two were also rarely seen chatting in front of them.

Fang Yin's hand pinched Jian Heng loudly and made him shout. Again the two became the center of attention Consorts Shi and Tian Feng.

"Did I miss something about you guys?" fang Yin asked looking at Concubine Shi and Tian Feng.

Concubine Shi lowered her head in embarrassment while Tian Feng was suddenly nervous. During his stay at Silver Mountain the two became familiar, moreover Tian Feng had more experience than Consort Shi. They often exchange their minds.

"Come, Uncle!" fang Yin exclaimed again urging Tian Feng to be honest.

That short sentence was quite understandable to Tian Feng. Sooner or later they'll find out, maybe it's time he expressed his desire to keep his cousin's widow engaged.

"I hope you don't feel misunderstood, Yin'er. All this just flows. I didn't expect that at this age of mine I would have feelings for a woman," Tian Feng honestly said.

Tian Feng's statement made Fang Yin gaped. Until a while he was unconscious of himself until Jian Heng patted his shoulder gently.

"A .. I don't .. don't mind if you're together. Em, I mean married." Fang Yin spoke nervously.

"Don't be like that, Yin'er. I'm so embarrassed." Concubine Shi felt bad for Jian Heng.

This news was too shocking for Fang Yin and Jian Heng. Everything could have happened. The togetherness that they have lived all this time grows the seeds of love between them. There is no one to blame because this is not a bad thing.

They were silent for a while and made the room covered in silence. Fang Yin would not have stopped their relationship if the two indeed wanted to live it in earnest.

"Uncle, Mother, this news does surprise me but trust me that I welcome everything with joy. My only request is one, don't make a relationship a mess. I don't like that."

"No way, Yin'er. Your mother was my first and last love."

'Jeez, Uncle Tian Feng is so sweet. Those who are in love why I blushed, yes. So, who should marry me and Brother Heng first or mother and uncle first, Fang Yin murmured inwardly.

"Yin'er, wakeup! You're okay, aren't you?" Jian Heng again patted Fang Yin's shoulder gently.

"Sister Heng, ah, yes. I'm fine." Fang Yin inching to correct his sitting position.

Consort Shi still looked awkward.

"Yin'er, what do you think if I propose to your mother to her family. I want to marry her simply." Tian Feng asked Fang Yin for his opinion.

"I've always supported what's best for you. Don't worry, I'll help uncle to talk to grandpa and grandma. I will also ask Grandpa Wu to help uncle," Fang Yin explained.

"I'm actually very embarrassed. I hope no one will laugh at me." Tian Feng lowered his head sadly considering he was going to get married at his fairly old age even though his face did not look old.

"Don't worry, Uncle. Marriage is not a bad thing. I support you both. Restore the Gu Clan's glory by giving me many brothers."

Fang Yin's words again made Consort Shi and Tian Feng blush.

Outside Fang Yin's room stood Emperor Xi and Consort Tang who had accidentally heard their conversation. The two looked at each other and did not know what to say.
