I went down the mountain to hide from my senior sister, but my stunning fiancée took advantage of he

The study room in the back room of the main courtyard of the Situ family.

An old man wearing an off-white robe was sitting at the desk, leaning on the chair.

He is well-kept, and despite being nearly seventy years old, he is still in good health, and his beard is not completely white.

Situ Ningguang sat at the bottom of the table, drinking tea calmly.

"Ningguang, you are my biological daughter. I believe you have never doubted this."

Situ Ningguang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You should ask my mother about this. But I believe that my mother would not dare to do anything sorry for you."

"That's fine."

Situ Wunian, the head of the Situ family, sighed, "You really want to be the head of this family so much that you would not hesitate to push your biological father to this level just for this position?"

"Dad, I don't understand what you are saying." Situ Ningguang smiled lightly, "Have I done anything that goes against the interests of the Situ family, or is it something that I'm sorry for you?"

"Inviting the Dark Emperor to threaten and intimidate me, does this count as sorry for me?" Situ Wunian stared closely at his precious daughter.

Situ Ningguang was unmoved and put down the tea cup leisurely, "You are overthinking. Nan'er came back to ask his grandfather."

"There's already a commotion over there in the second room. Do you really think that my old father is blind and deaf?" Situ Wunian sighed helplessly.

"Situ Huaqiu humiliated Grandpa Nan'er. Nan'er seeks justice. It's natural. As long as you don't protect the second wife, what does this matter have to do with you?" Situ Ningguang said every word.

Situ Wunian was speechless.

After a long while, he sighed again, "For the sake of becoming the head of the family, are you willing to kill off all the competitive branch candidates?"

"My daughter has no such idea." Situ Ningguang remained expressionless, "I don't know what Nan'er thinks."

These words already revealed the meaning of threat.

Ye Nan wants to kill someone, who can stop him?

But he, Ye Nan, had to listen to Situ Ningguang and Yue Ying's opinions on whether or not to kill someone, right?

"Are you so persistent about the truth back then?" Situ Wunian suddenly looked a bit old and tired, "I admit, I shouldn't have treated Ye Nan like that back then. But his parents Your death, as well as your husband’s death, is something that must be buried forever and never be brought to light again!”

"I need a reason." Situ Ningguang was very forceful.

"I've said everything I can." Situ Wunian stared deeply into his daughter's eyes, "If you feel that I, as a father, am sorry for you, then it will be my responsibility alone. Don't think that I am sitting here as the head of the family. In my position, I can decide everything.”

"Life in this world is boundless, and who can be truly free..."

Situ Ningguang narrowed his eyes, feeling a little shocked.

He heard a very important message from these words.

"Are you trying to say that the death of Nan'er's parents and Yueying's father had nothing to do with you?"

Situ Wunian shook his head and refused to say another word about this matter. He changed the subject and said, "I can promise you that for the position of head of the family, you will compete with all the direct descendants. As long as you can convince them all, I There will be no interference and no comments.”

"The condition is, don't go on a killing spree!"

Situ Ningguang's face was stunned, and a wave of anger rushed to his forehead, "Don't go on a killing spree? Did you ever have such thoughts towards Nan'er's parents and Yueying's father back then?!"

"Now you advise me not to go on a killing spree?"

"Okay, I can promise you. Go and ask Nan'er yourself if he agrees!"

Situ Ningguang stood up suddenly, turned around and was about to walk out.

Halfway through, Situ Wunian's old voice suddenly came from behind.

"Son, I am using my identity as a father, not as the head of the family, to tell you my last sincere words."

"Listen to my advice, don't cling to the position of head of the family, take Yueying with you, treat Ye Nan well, and compensate the Situ family for what they have owed him for so many years."

Situ Ningguang's whole body trembled, his eyes were moist, and his expression was extremely complicated.

In the end, he didn't say anything and walked out of the study resolutely.

The study suddenly became silent, leaving only an old man sitting there.

After a while, Situ Wu Nian gathered his emotions, stood up, walked to the bookcase behind him, reached into a hidden compartment in the middle, touched a mechanism, and twisted it slightly.

The bookcase slowly opened, revealing a secret door.

The classic study secret passage.

Situ Wunian walked in. The lighting facilities along the way were complete and brightly lit.

After walking for a long time, we came to a huge underground secret room.

The layout here is very luxurious and all kinds of living appliances are available.

On the bamboo bed, five old men were sitting cross-legged, doing exercises with their eyes closed.

These five people all have white beards and hair. They are all at least a hundred years old. They are haggard and look half-dead.

However, in fact, anyone who has the right sense can detect that there is huge vitality in these five people!

Situ Wunian pays homage to several ancestors!

Situ Wunian came to a few people and knelt down respectfully.

These people are actually the ancestors of the Situ family, five in total!

The Situ family's background is not even a bit better than that of the Dongfang family!

If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar.

In recent years, the Situ family has been deteriorating day by day, becoming the last of the five wealthy families.

But in terms of background, there is such a strong capital.

Several old men opened their eyes at the same time, and the man sitting in the middle spoke slowly. His hoarse voice was different from that of a night owl, "You came just in time. We are waiting for the mastery of the 'Life and Death Lock' to be completed. We have reached the most important pass. This provides The 'sacrifice' of the source of anger must not be in short supply! Can we get it together now?"

Dongfang Wunian's face was troubled, "I'm reporting to my ancestors, I wonder if we can extend some time... Nowadays, it's increasingly difficult to find people whose birth dates meet the requirements. Moreover, there are many things happening in the capital, and some changes have occurred. I'm afraid..."

"Huh?!" The faces of the old men turned gloomy, and the entire secret room was suddenly filled with powerful and terrifying pressure.

This pressure was like the weight of a mountain, making Situ Wunian unable to straighten his waist and breaking into a cold sweat.

"If you can't do this well, what use is you, the head of the family?"

The old man in the middle said in a cold tone.

"Forgive me, ancestor! I don't know...I don't know if I can use an adult instead. This child is really..."

"presumptuous!"

The old man in the middle yelled angrily, "I told you many years ago that the initial stage of the life and death lock can only be used by adults. Now that it has reached the Dacheng Pass, it must be of appropriate age! You still dare to bargain with us?"

"Wu Nian don't dare!" Situ Wu Nian quickly kowtowed and apologized, the back of his robe almost wet with sweat.

"Okay, we won't embarrass you."

Suddenly, the old man sitting on the far right said calmly, "You do have your difficulties as the head of the family, but you have to understand that when we complete the life and death lock, it is also related to the revitalization of the Situ family. If it is difficult to find the capital, spend some time Let’s go somewhere else, but as soon as possible!”

Situ Wunian finally relaxed a little, breathed a long sigh of relief, and quickly scratched his head to express gratitude, "Thank you, ancestor, for your consideration, Wu Nian understands!"

After so many years, several old men with pale faces and red faces sang separately, controlling Situ Wu Nian so tightly that the head of the family was like a puppet.

"You just said that the capital is not peaceful now. What's going on?" The second old man on the left suddenly asked, "Is it that the Dark Emperor you said a few days ago has returned?"

Situ Wunian's heart was moved, and for some unknown reason, he replied in a strange way, "No, it's just that there are some conflicts of interest between several wealthy families. Although it is a small matter, it involves a wide range of things and is quite complicated."

"Yes. You can deal with these worldly things by yourself. Next time you come, be sure to bring qualified 'sacrifice'!"
