After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 109 Guo Cong
"Hey, isn't this the Mu brothers? You've actually returned to Purple Leaf City!"

Just as they were about to reach Yongyang Tower, someone saw them and spoke up.

The tone was high-pitched, but the intonation was strange; it was definitely not a word of surprise.

The Mu brothers stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, then their expressions changed.

"Hmph, what bad luck." Mu Xue tugged at the corner of her mouth, then immediately turned her face away, her tone disdainful.

"Ignore him, let's go eat." Mu Xue said, and was about to enter the restaurant first.

"Stop! Don't run away. I know you're living in poverty and regret your past ignorance, but you're too ashamed to admit it... How about this, if you kneel down and call me master, then I'll reluctantly take you in and let you live in my Guo family."

The young man who spoke raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and looked quite pleased with himself.

Guo Cong knew that the two brothers were proud and arrogant, and even if they regretted it in their hearts, they would never bow down to him openly.

I said that just to provoke them!

"Give up your idea. Even if you knelt down and called us 'master,' we wouldn't accept it, let alone the other way around." Mu Xue sneered. "A spoiled brat getting all smug? What, the Guo family has no one left, so it's your turn to be the head of the family?"

Guo Cong comes from a minor aristocratic family, and is a direct descendant of the Guo family.

The Mu brothers were once recruited by the Guo family. As long as they agreed, they could go to the Guo family to serve as "bodyguards" for Guo Cong.

A companion guard is a guard who grows up alongside the master's children. Many families would hire guards when their children are young in order to foster a bond between master and servant. The guards would be of similar age to the master.

Guards trained in this way are more loyal to their master and will not hesitate to give their lives when needed.

However, the Guo family's recruitment failed because the Mu brothers ultimately did not choose the Guo family, but instead joined the Xianlai Sect.

This angered the Guo family, who felt that the two were ungrateful. Guo Cong, who was old enough to remember things, also harbored resentment about this, believing that the two were blind and that they had chosen to suffer at the Xianlai Sect instead of staying with the Guo family.
It's an honor for the Guo family to want people, but they not only don't cherish it, they also chose a bad place for them... Doesn't that mean that in their eyes, the Guo family is not even as good as the fallen Xianlai Sect!
This is really unreasonable!

The Mu brothers were quite talented, but the reason they were chosen by the Guo family head and who went to great lengths to recruit them was because the two brothers were of one mind and had learned the family's "Double Shadow Sword" since childhood.

If these two brothers were present, their seamless cooperation would surely surpass that of any other two, and Guo Cong's safety would be greatly enhanced.

After the defeat, the head of the Guo family was quite bothered by it and mentioned it to his son Guo Cong several times. So he remembered it and even kept an eye on the Mu brothers and the Xianlai Sect for the next few years.

This attention was hilarious, because the Immortal Sect was so poor they were almost starving!

It is said that the Mu brothers also left Ziye City and went out to make money.

Tsk, two people earning money that costs the entire sect, how pathetic!
This made Guo Cong feel both amused and smug—

See? We asked you to come, but you wouldn't. Now you regret it!

Seeing the two of them unexpectedly today, I naturally had to mock them to vent my anger.

Little did he know that before he could vent his anger, Mu Xue's words made him even angrier!
"How dare you! What kind of trash are you, to dare curse my father!" Guo Cong roared.

[Tsk, why are some people so eager to be insulted?]

[This thing looks disgusting and it's ruining my appetite!] Mo Jiuwei turned her face away, not wanting to look at the ugly thing.

Guo Cong was dressed in gold, with rings on at least seven of his ten fingers, yet he was short and fat.

Others look good wearing rings, but he looks like he's being tortured!

“Fellow Daoist Guo must have misheard. No one cursed the Guo family head.” Chen Lan immediately stepped forward when she heard that Mo Jiuwei was upset. “Although I know that Fellow Daoist Guo is just too worried about my two junior brothers who haven’t seen me for a long time, unfortunately, we still need to eat. It’s not appropriate for us to block the door like this.”

"Of course! I'm starving. What's with all this crowding at the door?"

Get out of the way!

"Eat? You mean this Yongyang Tower?" Guo Cong chuckled upon hearing this. "No way, your Xianlai Sect has the guts to dare enter the Yongyang Tower?"

Yongyang Tower is one of the most prestigious restaurants in Ziye City. A meal there costs at least 100 crystal stones, and if you dare to order more dishes, it can easily cost over 500.

This amount of money is enough to buy a lot of pills or even small magical artifacts!
Guo Cong didn't believe that the impoverished Xianlai Sect could have this kind of money, unless... this group of people were really craving something delicious, so they scraped together some crystals to come and order one or two dishes to satisfy their cravings.

"It's just a place to eat, why are you afraid to go in?" Yi Xingyun scoffed. "Or is it that Fellow Daoist Guo is afraid to go in himself, so he's judging others by his own standards?"

"Nonsense! Do you think I, Guo Cong, can't afford to eat at Yongyanglou?" Guo Cong laughed angrily. "Fine, I'd like to see what kind of good dishes you can prepare. Didn't you say you were coming? Then please come."

He said "please," but his feet didn't wait for anyone and he went in first.

[He's getting all smug just from eating a meal. What's he thinking?]

[Sigh, Xuechu, please don't get angry over someone like that; it's really not worth it.]

Mu Xuechu and Mu Xuequ couldn't help but chuckle.

They were initially a little upset, but hearing their junior sister's mature tone made them want to laugh.

I wonder how Guo Cong would feel if he knew that they were looked down upon by their junior sister, who is just a little baby.

No, it's his honor to be looked down upon by his junior sister!
The group followed Guo Cong into Yongyang Tower.

"Young Master Guo, is it still the Plum Blossom Room today?" the waiter asked Guo Cong with a smile as he greeted them.

As one of the most prominent families in the city, the waiter knew the Guo family well, especially Guo Cong's father, and he also knew Guo Cong.

In the past, when the Guo family came, they usually stayed in the plum room, so he asked one more question.

"No way, we're going to sit on the third floor by the window today. If we sit in a private room, how will we see what delicious dishes the people from the Immortal Sect have ordered?" Guo Cong said with a smile, then glanced back at the people from the Immortal Sect.

The members of the Immortal Sect ignored him and continued climbing the stairs on their own.

Guo Cong didn't take it seriously, thinking that he had hit their weakness, which was why they couldn't speak.

"Okay," the waiter replied.
