Chapter 62: The Wind and Rain Are Coming

  That thunderous roar was filled with an aura of majesty and dominance that shook the heavens, causing Guo Ming's soul to reel in turmoil as his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

  Zi Yu waved her hand and a purple light enveloped Guo Ming's body, then vanished before his eyes.

  He reached out to touch the thin, paper-like True Yuan shield, and a strong sense of envy flashed in Guo Ming's eyes. The opponent had casually set up this True Yuan shield, which would be difficult for him to surpass even if he practiced for another hundred years. There was a fundamental difference between the two.

  Guo Ming didn't worry about the girl's life or death. In his opinion, if she could survive in this place for so many years, she must have some means to do so.

  He dispersed his divine sense, quietly analyzing the distribution pattern of the girl's true yuan cloak. Even if he could get a glimpse of this girl's heart, it would bring him unimaginable benefits.

  That girl returned after a moment, and her breathing was slightly disheveled. Her first glance fell on Guo Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and she exclaimed in surprise: "This little scoundrel is indeed carefree; I'm toiling away outside, while he's sneaking in to steal our secrets."

  With a stroke of her finger, a golden lotus appeared in the void. The girl stepped lightly on it, and with one step, she was standing on top of the golden lotus. She turned back to look at Guo Ming, and for an instant, a warm light flashed in her eyes. She sat down cross-legged, and in that moment, the golden lotus emitted a dense spiritual energy that rapidly surged into her body.

  The Guo Family

  Guo Ming has been missing for three days, and Guo Zheng is finally getting anxious. He used all his connections, but still didn't get any news about Guo Ming.

  Outside the door, a haggard-looking Shui Mengyao stared blankly at the large door, which could be opened with just a slight push. But she didn't dare to, as she had been secretly paying attention to Guo Ming's parents' situation and knew they were now anxious like ants on a hot pot.

  Guo Ming's fate she knew, after repeated consideration she still decided to tell the Guo family everything. She felt there was no reason to let them make useless efforts.

  She took a deep breath, and it seemed that Water Dream Jade had mustered up enough courage to touch the familiar large door once again with her fingertips.

  Just then, a hand pressed down on Shuimeng Yao's hand.

  Shui Mengyao was taken aback and turned around to take a clear look at the person who came, and couldn't help but be surprised. The person who came was actually her grandfather Dongfang He.

  As soon as she thought that the other party might force her to leave, Shui Mengyao's face changed, and she tried hard to open the other party's palm. Dongfang He said softly, "Mengyao, don't be afraid, Grandfather didn't come with malicious intentions this time." As he spoke, he released Shui Mengyao's hand.

  Shui Mengyao hastily ran to knock on the door, Yu Xia was in the house with a gloomy and wounded spirit, suddenly hearing someone knocking on the door, her eyes shot out with a surprised expression, she quickly stood up, took a small run, and pulled open the door, still calling out Guo Ming's name.

  It wasn't Guo Ming at first glance. The excited look in Yu Xia's eyes quickly calmed down and was replaced by a dull, lifeless grayness.

  Shui Mengyao hastily retreated behind Yu Xia, grasping Yu Xia's hand and exclaimed in terror: "Auntie, he wants to catch me."

  A hint of expression finally flashed in Yu Xia's eyes, and she furrowed her brow, saying: "Who are you?"

  Dongfang He is, after all, a high-ranking official in the Central Government. Now that his own granddaughter treats him like an enemy and avoids him, it's already bad enough. But now, he even speaks ill of himself in front of outsiders, so naturally, his face doesn't look good. In an icy tone, he says: "This is my family affair, you'd better not interfere?"

  "What's it to you?" Yu Xia sneered, "I've never seen you before? Meng Yao has been my neighbor for over a decade, when have I ever seen you once?" Yu Xia was already in a bad mood, and the other person's tone was chilly, so she also spoke coldly.

  Dongfang He almost didn't get angry to the point of choking, let alone her, even a high-ranking official from a province wouldn't dare speak to him like that.

  Kuo Cheng-tzu also arrived at the entrance at this time, looking at the elderly person at the entrance felt somewhat familiar, thought for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise: "You are Tung Pi-wu of the Central Politburo?"

  Finally, someone who understands. A surge of excitement he had never felt before welled up in Dongfang He's heart, and he nodded: "That's right, she is my granddaughter, I'm taking her with me."

  Meng Yao is his granddaughter, Guo Zheng was surprised, and looked at Shui Meng Yao with a puzzled gaze.

  Shui Mengyao took a look and hastily shook her head: "I don't know him, he's deceiving people."

  Dongfang He's face flashed with anger, and Shui Mengyao's words severely wounded his self-esteem. It was as if he had been slapped in public. He suppressed his anger and said, "Mengyao, don't be ridiculous. Grandfather has come to discuss important matters with you this time. Come back home with me quickly."

  "No, I won't go back with you," Shui Mengyao trembled. The events of that day had become her nightmare, and in her subconscious mind, she regarded her grandfather as a devil-like person, so how could she follow him?

  "You little girl, how can you not know what's good for you? Seeing the other party and not surrendering, Dongfang He couldn't bear it anymore. He dodged Yunxia and grabbed Shuimeng Yao's hand in a flash, taking her to retreat five or six meters away calmly. All of this happened in an instant, by the time Yunxia reacted, it was already too late."

  Shui Mengyao's face turned pale with fright, staring at her grandfather who was just a step away from her. Her eyes were pleading for help as she looked at Yu Xia and shouted: "Auntie, save me."

  Yu Xia was also frightened by this strange scene, she hurriedly wanted to pounce on it, but was caught by Guo Zheng who was beside her.

  "What's wrong with you grabbing me?" Yu Xia asked anxiously.

  "The Dongfang family is incredibly powerful, and Dongfang He is the Tai Shan Bei Dou of the martial arts world. What can you, a mere woman, possibly do? Guo Zheng then said in a deep voice."

  Yu Xia was taken aback, immediately stopped struggling, lowered her eyelids, and her eyes kept rolling. After a moment, just as Dongfang He was about to take away the crying Shui Mengyao, Yu Xia raised her head, with a confident smile on her face, and said loudly: "Let go of Mengyao."

  "Are you ordering me?" Dongfang He frowned and said in a low voice.

  "Do you think you're nobler than me?" Yu Xia sneered, as if the person in front of her wasn't a powerful central official, but just a common street urchin.

  In this way, how can Dongfang He answer, in fact, it is indeed so in his subconscious.

  "I'll say it one last time, this is my family's affair, you have no right or reason to stop me," Dongfang He said with a menacing glint in his eye.

  Seeing the other party's hair standing on end, seemingly on the verge of furious anger, Guo Zheng hurriedly wanted to stand in front of Yu Xia. Yu Xia pressed down Guo Zheng's hand and stepped forward, staring straight at the opponent, saying "Then let me tell you, Meng Yao is my designated daughter-in-law, so this is my family affair."

  "Hum, do you know what you're talking about? Meng Yao is the treasured daughter of my Eastern family, how could she possibly marry into your family?" Dongfang He sneered coldly.

  "I'm not joking with you, let go of Meng Yao right now, or I'll make you regret it," Yu Xia said, her smile gone.
