Chapter 464 Dad, I'm Not Old
Patriarch Shangguan closed his eyes and nodded with a sad expression.
In fact, he is a little older than Shangguan Zhenhua. When that incident happened, he was still a young child. He only learned about it after he took over the position of patriarch.
The elders of the clan also knew about this matter from their fathers.
The matter of that collateral genius had long since faded from the memory of the Shangguan clan due to the passage of time. The older generation of the Shangguan clan had already decided not to tell the younger generations about that matter. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Zhenhua actually told it out in front of everyone today.
If they had known this would happen, they should not have gone to find Shangguan Zhenhua and his son.
Seeing that the clan leader nodded, all the Shangguan clan members present were shocked.
The Shangguan clan has always respected the direct lineage. Over the years, although the direct lineage has not tortured the collateral lineage as it did in the past, they still look down on the collateral lineage. More than once, they have mocked the collateral lineage for not being able to produce talents.
But it turns out that not only can the side branch produce talents, but those talents are more powerful than all the geniuses in the direct branch!
For their own selfish desires, the direct descendant actually framed the genius from the collateral branch, not only expelled him from the Shangguan clan, but also sent people to hunt him down.
Their direct descendants actually did such a shameless thing?
If those people from the side branches knew about this, they would probably rebel.
Shangguan Zhenhua and his son looked at the Shangguan clan members coldly: "What collateral branch, what direct branch, we are of the same origin, why are we so anxious to fight each other? If the direct branch had not been so ruthless back then, how could the Shangguan clan become what it is now!"
Shangguan Peng spat: "Serves you right!"
Shangguan Zhenhua retracted his foot and let go of Shangguan Ruiguang: "The direct descendant of the Shangguan family is only so powerful. Even my seven-year-old great-grandson is not as good as him!"
The Shangguan clan members felt they were being bullied. This collateral descendant had gone too far. He actually said that their direct descendant with divine powers was not as good as a seven-year-old child. This was simply too much.
Seeing their angry faces, Shangguan Zhenhua snorted coldly: "Are you not convinced? How about another contest? I will beat you until you are convinced!"
Patriarch Shangguan waved his hand and said, "No more comparisons, no more comparisons. We are all family. Comparisons will only hurt the harmony."
Shangguan Zhenhua and his son were stunned. Shangguan Zhenhua laughed out loud: "You old man, are you deaf or mentally ill? When did my father and I become a family with you? Since my father left the Shangguan clan, he is no longer a member of the Shangguan clan. Our family will have nothing to do with the Shangguan clan!"
The faces of the Shangguan clan members all looked very ugly.
Shangguan Zhenhua continued, "It's good enough that I didn't kill you all. You actually have the audacity to try to establish a relationship with my father and son. You are so shameless. You want to establish a relationship with my father and son like this, isn't it because you are attracted by our current status and divine power? I tell you, my father and son have no relationship with the Shangguan clan. We never had a relationship before, and we won't have any relationship in the future. The Shangguan clan is the Shangguan clan, and our Shangguan family is the Shangguan family. Don't even think about trying to get close to us!"
Shangguan Peng looked at the Shangguan clan members coldly: "Today is the first and last time that my father and I will meet you. In the future, whenever there are people from our Shangguan family, please stay away from us, so that we don't get upset. If we are not happy, we will kill you and no one will say a word."
After saying that, the father and son left the Shangguan clan without looking back.
Everyone in the Shangguan clan was furious.
"Chief, they are too arrogant. We can't let them leave like this!" Shangguan Hu shouted.
Shangguan Ruiguang glared at him: "Can you keep them? Can you beat them? If you don't want the Shangguan clan to be exterminated, then stop!"
He really couldn't believe that their direct ancestors were such despicable villains.
Over the years, the power of the Shangguan clan has weakened, and everyone has been looking for someone with great strength to continue their bloodline power. However, he only realized that the Shangguan clan's current fate is the result of their own evil deeds.
It was our ancestors who killed the genius in our clan!
If it weren't for the evil things done by their ancestors, the Shangguan clan would never have become what it is today.
Shangguan Ruiguang has always been proud of being a talented descendant of the family, but now he finds it so ironic.
"Clan leader, don't look for people from the Shangguan family anymore." Shangguan Ruiguang said in a deep voice.
Patriarch Shangguan glanced at him indifferently. Shangguan Ruiguang was the younger generation he most promising, but now he had suffered such a huge blow and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to recover in the future.
There are other younger generations who possess divine powers. After this incident, I am afraid they will lose their fighting spirit just like Shangguan Ruiguang.
Patriarch Shangguan sighed and said, "Okay, I won't go!"
On the way back, Shangguan Peng asked, "Dad, are we just going to let them go like that?"
Shangguan Zhenhua said calmly: "What else do you want? Destroy the Shangguan clan? Don't bother with it. The Shangguan clan is already much weaker than before. They will fall without us doing anything."
Killing the Shangguan clan members would not only not bring the satisfaction of revenge, but would also offend the emperor of Penglai. After all, Penglai still needs the Shangguan clan members very much. The Shangguan clan members have made many contributions to Penglai. The Nalan royal family will not sit idly by and watch the Shangguan clan members being killed.
However, if the Shangguan clan were to experience internal strife and decline, no one would be to blame.
When the father and son returned to their residence, they said goodbye to Nalan Xu. The supplies had been delivered, the crisis in Penglai Kingdom was resolved, and it was time for them to return to the Yuan Dynasty to report!
Three days later, the Yuan Dynasty team returned to the Yuan Dynasty.
On the Shangguan clan side, a conflict broke out between the side branch and the main branch.
The people in the side branch knew that there was a genius in their side branch, who was more powerful than anyone else in the clan. The main clan, out of jealousy and unwillingness, killed the genius, and later suppressed the side branch in every way. After the people in the side branch knew the truth, they were furious and began to rebel against the main clan, fighting openly and secretly. The side branch even threatened to break away from the current Shangguan clan and become a clan of its own.
How could the direct lineage tolerate the arrogance of the collateral lineage? They began to suppress them ruthlessly, and both sides suffered losses.
Shangguan Zhenhua and Shangguan Peng were unaware of these things. They were eager to return home and just wanted to arrange Shangguan Ping'an's wedding.
But unexpectedly, when they arrived in Haicheng, a letter was delivered to them.
It was sent by Shangguan Tang, and the letter mentioned the story of Shangguan Ping'an and Guo Jiaojiao.
Upon learning that Shangguan Ping'an and Guo Jiaojiao were married and that the couple were not in Beijing at the moment, but had gone to Qingquan Village with Shangguan Tang's family of three, Shangguan Zhenhua and his son were furious.
"How come you're getting married? You don't even bother to wait for me!" Shangguan Peng was furious.
Shangguan Zhenhua blew his beard and glared, "It's fine that he was in such a hurry to marry a wife, but he also ran off to Qingquan Village with Tang'er. After we returned to Beijing, let alone seeing our grandson's wife, we couldn't even see our great-grandson. How could they be so cruel as to leave us two old people alone in the capital."
Shangguan Peng corrected: "Dad, I'm not old, not an old man!"
Shangguan Zhenhua chuckled: "You are already a grandfather, aren't you old?"
