Chapter 1248: Not an Outsider

Lu Yurong also heard Jiang Yun's voice transmission in her ear: "Miss Lu, would you please use your Taoist eyes to see if there is anything wrong with these ghosts or nearby"Ginger Yun's divine awaren...The appearance of the light caused Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai's faces to change at the same time.

They naturally knew what this light meant, but they didn't expect it to shine at this time.

The Guan family, father and son, also turned their gazes to the figure that appeared in the light. Only Zong Bai remained with his eyes closed, completely unmoved.

Guan Peng sneered coldly: "Your Kong family is truly skilled. I didn't expect that there would be a teleportation array hidden in this hall. Could it be that you want to take advantage of our inattention and assassinate us"

Kōng Xuèhǎi's face was ashen, he didn't respond to Guānpéng's words at all, but looked at the figure rushing out from the light and shouted loudly: "What are you doing, you're making a fool of yourself, get out of here!"

While Kong Benchu was frowning, he silently scanned the wall of the hall with his eyes.

Then, naturally, it was Kong Meng!

Kong Meng's face was flushed red at the moment, his body trembling slightly. He didn't even look at his father and ancestor, but stared intently at Guan Peng and his son.

In the darkness, Kong Meng heard every word clearly. He had long been filled with anger at Guan Jia and Zong Bai's shamelessness.

Especially seeing both her father and ancestor fall into embarrassment, this made her unable to bear it anymore. She just couldn't help but rush out recklessly.

“Turns out it’s Meng'er girl!” Guan Peng’s sneer transformed into a friendly smile and said: “I thought your father was going to send someone to assassinate us in secret!”

"However, since Miss Meng'er has appeared, she must have already heard our conversation. As the only daughter of the Kong family, you can represent your family. Why don't you tell us which path you plan to choose"

Kǒng Mèng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Let's choose the first path!"

Upon hearing Kong Meng's words, everyone couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Only Kong Benchu, in his moment of stunned silence, cast another glance at the wall opposite the hall. A glimmer of realization flickered in his eyes.

"Haha!" Guan Zhifei suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Dream Girl, you chose the first path Could it be that you want to fight me"

Kǒng mèng bù guò shì dì hù jìng de xiū wéi, gēn běn bù kě yǐ shì Guān Zhì Fēi de duì shǒu.

This translates to:Kong Meng is merely a cultivator of the Earth Protector realm, he could never be a match for Guan Zhifei.

Kōng Xuèhǎi hurriedly spoke again: "Mèng'er, what nonsense are you talking about! Family matters are none of your concern!"

"Brother Kong, your words are mistaken!"

Guan Peng took over the conversation with a smile and said: “Like father, like daughter. Since Meng’er is choosing the first path, she must be confident in her abilities. As her father, how could you not trust your own daughter!”

Then, Guan Peng suddenly changed the subject and said, "Let's set a time, three days from now, and have Meng'er and Zhifei have a match."

As for the location, let your Kong family decide. That way, outsiders won't say that our Guan family is bullying people with our power!

After he finished speaking, Guan Peng had already stood up, apparently preparing to leave, but Kong Meng suddenly spoke again, "Wait, I didn't say that I wanted to fight Guan Zhifei!"

"Oh" Guan Peng stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Kong Meng and said, "Could it be that another expert has emerged among the younger generation of the Kong family"

However, before Kong Meng could speak, Zong Bai on the side suddenly stood up as well and coldly said: “That's settled then. After the Kong Family decides on the location for the trial, they will simply inform the Guan Family.”

"But let me be frank with you, no matter who from the Kong Family fights Zhifei, it must be someone from your Kong Family!"

If you dare to ask outsiders for help, don't blame old man for being impolite then!

After dropping that sentence, Zong Bai said nothing more. He turned and strode out. Guan Peng had a look of sudden understanding on his face and gave a sinister smile. He clasped his fists together and said to Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu, "The two of you, farewell!"

Guan Zhifei then leered at Kong Meng and said, "Meng'er, see you in three days!"

Just like that, Zong Bai and his two companions swaggered out of the Kong family home, leaving behind a dumbfounded Kong Meng in the hall, along with Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai who wore expressions of helplessness!

Kōngxuěhǎi stamped his foot angrily, pointing at Kōngmèng and saying: "Mèng'er, what can I say to you You, how could you come out and make a fuss about such a big matter Don't you think our Kōng family is already chaotic enough"

Kǒng Mèng's face was covered in tears, she stood there with her head bowed, her lips moving but not a single word came out.

Still, Kong Benchu sighed and said, "Actually, Meng'er meant well, and choosing the first path she did indeed have a chance of success."

But unexpectedly, Bai Zong was truly formidable. He likely discovered the presence of Daoist Jiang and intentionally left that remark before departing.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, don't hide anymore, come out!"

Kong Benchu's words left Kong Xuehai completely bewildered, unable to grasp what his ancestor was trying to say.

And just then, another beam of light shone in the hall. From within the light walked a strange young man whom he had never seen before.

Naturally, what came out was ginger clouds!

At this moment, Ginger Cloud's face no longer held its usual calmness, instead, it was tinged with a hint of embarrassment. He bowed to Kong Benchu and Kong Xuehai, saying, "I'm sorry!"

Kong Benchu smiled wryly and shook his head. "This has nothing to do with Jiang Dao-you."

Speaking of this, Kong Benchu turned to Kong Xuehai and said: “Because we returned in a hurry, we haven't had time to tell you about our experiences along the way. This is Jiang Yun, Jiang Daoyou.”

"Thanks to Elder Jiang's help, we probably wouldn't have been able to return!"

Although Kong Xuehai had doubts in his heart because Jiang Yun seemed too young, since Kong Benchu said so, he naturally didn't dare to have any more suspicions. He hurriedly bowed to Jiang Yun and said: "My name is Kong Xuehai, the head of the Kong family. Thank you, Daoist Jiang, for your help."

"Jiang Yun returned the courtesy and said, "Master Kong, you don't have to be so polite. My family and the Kong family have some history, and it is only right for me to help."

"What's the origin" Kong Xuehai couldn't help but be startled again.

Kong Benchu opened his mouth and said, "Ginger Daoist friend, he and Wu Shang are from the same school!"

"What!"

Kǒngběn chū's face changed drastically in an instant, and his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He staggered backward, staring fixedly at Jiāng Yún with wide eyes.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and asked in a trembling voice, "Is he unharmed Is he still alive"

Kong Benchu said, "Wu Shang is still alive, don't get too excited first. This isn't a place to chat, let's go somewhere else, and then I'll tell you everything."

……

After listening to Kong Benchu's narration, Kong Xuehai's face was truly filled with tears. Although he had always believed that his son was still alive, it was ultimately just his hope.

Now, from Jiang Yun's mouth, his hope finally became more real.

Especially Jiang Yun also firmly believes that Wu Shang is definitely still alive, which naturally makes him even happier.

However, after the happiness, we still have to return to reality.

"Kong Benchu said to Jiang Yun, 'Jiang Daoist, we appreciate your kindness, Kong family is very grateful. However, this time, you definitely can't help us. And to avoid implicating you, under any circumstances, you mustn't show your face.'"

In the beginning, Kong Ben thought that Kong Meng chose the first path to challenge Guan Zhifei because of Jiang Yun's suggestion, but in reality, it was Kong Meng's own idea.

Although Ginger Cloud agreed to help the Kong family, as an outsider, he couldn't possibly make such a major decision for them.

However, Jiang Yun wouldn't say the truth outright. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "Although my strength isn't high, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Guan Zhifei."

Kong Benchu shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. Just now, fellow Daoist also heard that Zong Bai requested that no outsiders be allowed to help."

"Stranger!"

Jiang Yun smiled slightly, and suddenly a cloud of mist rose from his body. As the mist dissipated, he looked at the three stunned people in front of him and said, "Now, am I not an outsider anymore"
