Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 220: Guan Family

The Shenzhen pills and formations shop opened as usual the following day.

However, the Guan family was not calm.

"What did you say?" An angry voice resounded in the room.

Hearing the voice and feeling the accompanying pressure, a middle-aged man swallowed.

"Ancestor, the sixth child’s soul lamp has gone out." The middle-aged man repeated his words.

This middle-aged man was Guan Cheng, the twelfth elder of the Guan family.

Guan Cheng was in charge of the ancestral hall and consequently, the clan’s soul lamps.

"When did the lamp go out?" The ancestor asked.

"Two shichen ago."

"How did it go out?"

"It first flickered and then began to fade. It went out within one incense stick."

Guan Gang hit the table when he heard that.

"Who is it? Who is it that dares to kill a descendant of my Guan family?" The ancestor roared in anger.

At the same time, several people rushed into the hall.

These people were a middle-aged couple and several youngsters including Guan Ying.

"It’s Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen. These bastards killed my older brother." Guan Ying angrily shouted.

"Father, Peng’er can’t die like this. We must avenge him." A man said.

This man was Guan Fan, and he was Guan Peng and Guan Ying’s father.

"Grandfather, Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen don’t take our Guan family seriously." Guan Ying said and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

She still remembered what happened more than one hundred years ago.

At that time, she wanted to put the two in their place so she pitted them against Master Wang.

But what happened?

Not only did she lose her army; but she also lost her wife.

Most importantly, the two hid in the Myriad Treasures Pavillion for one hundred years so she couldn’t relieve her anger.

Thinking about it now, Guan Ying gritted her teeth and her hands clenched into fists.

’I won’t let you go.’ She thought.

"Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen? Who are they?" Guan Gang asked, looking at his eldest son.

"Father, Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen are a Taoist couple who came to the Formation Tower City more than one hundred years ago. Xu Zhen is a formation master and Yuan Shen is an alchemist." Guan Fan said and Guan Gang couldn’t help but frown.

"Do they have a grudge against my sixth grandson? Why would they kill Peng’er?" Guan Fan asked.

Hearing this, Guan Fan, his wife, and their children subtly looked at each other.

They knew Guan Peng went to rob the Xu couple.

Unexpectedly, the couple wasn’t robbed but Guan Peng lost his life.

"Grandfather, my elder brother went to avenge me but who knew the Xu couple would be so vicious?!" Guan Ying cried and Guan Gang narrowed his eyes.

"Avenge you? What is going on?"

After that, Guan Ying explained what happened more than one hundred years ago.

However, her story was more fiction than reality.

According to her, Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen insulted the Guan family and then cheated hundreds of millions of spirit stones.

When he heard this, Guan Gang almost rolled his eyes.

After all, he was a void refining realm cultivator and not a naïve youngster.

That said, he didn’t care about the truth of the matter.

All that mattered was that Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen had killed one of his most talented grandchildren.

"Find an opportunity to kill them when they leave the city." He said, looking at Guan Fan with vicious eyes.

"Grandfather, why do we have to wait until they leave the city?" Guan Ying complained and quickly continued.

"They are just bumpkins without a prominent background. We can just kill them and no one will care about it."

"Now is not the time to stick our heads out." Guan Gang sighed.

"Father, what do you mean?"

"The Yunshan secret realm is about to open and the big families are looking for opportunities to undermine each other. We will pay a heavy price if we touch the city lord’s bottom line at this time."

"Grandfather..." Guan Ying started but Guan Fan stopped her.

"I understand." He said.

As the eldest son, he had to put the interests of the Guan family above everything else.

If his lineage messed up and caused the family to lose a valuable token, his father would not spare him.

"Our Guan family has six tokens which means sixty descendants can enter the Yunshan secret realm. None of the tokens can be lost." The ancestor emphasised, looking at Guan Fan with a serious face.

"Don’t worry, father. We are working hard to find more tokens."

"Mmh." Guan Gang nodded.

After that, Guan Fan’s family left Guan Gang’s residence and returned to their courtyard.

"Father, are we really going to wait for those bastards to leave the city?" Guan Ying asked.

"Husband, we can’t let Peng’er die in vain." Li Yan also argued and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

The Li family was one of the four prominent families in the Formation Tower City.

Coming from such a background and after giving birth to a good son, Li Yan’s position as the main wife should have been stable.

Unfortunately, one of Guan Fan’s concubines gave birth to a better son.

As a result, Guan Peng was overshadowed and Li Yan had to always work hard to maintain her position.

Now that her son was dead, she couldn’t help but feel angry when she thought of the hardships she would soon face.

At the same time, she felt resentful towards Guan Ying.

In her heart, she felt Guan Ying was a failure for failing to secure a powerful son-in-law.

How could her position be so unstable if Tan Cheng had chosen Guan Ying instead of Zhao Fei?

Thinking of this, Li Yan gritted her teeth and a sudden anger filled her heart.

She hated Guan Fan for marrying one concubine after another.

Also hated Guan Peng for being worse than a concubine’s son and hated Guan Ying for losing against the Zhao girl.

But at the moment, she most hated Xu Zhen and Yuan Shen.

’I won’t let them go.’ She decided.
