Chapter 1267

In Hillside Villa, in the next few days, many people came to visit to congratulate the new year. This was the treatment of the Heavenly family in the past, but now, the object of everyone's flattery had become the Hannigan family. The Heavenly family didn't have any complaints about this. They were even part of the main army that sent gifts, and it was Tian Changsheng who personally brought gifts to them. However, the Heavenly family still had different treatment from others. Others could not even enter the gate of the villa. At most, they would leave a gift and leave after a few casual greetings. The Heavenly family, however, would be invited to the villa. After all, inside of the Hannigan family, there was a mischievous girl like Tian Ling'er. Needless to say, Tian Ling'er would bring her family to the villa. The thing that was supposed to happen on the fifth day of the new year had finally arrived. When Elder Yi and Fang Zhan appeared, even though Yvonne had tried her best to control herself, her face still changed a lot. She knew that what she had been unwilling to think about was going to happen in the end. "Have you arranged everything at home?" Elder Yiasked Samuel . Samuel glanced at Yvonne subconsciously, only to see that Yvonne lowered her head and remained silent. He knew that Yvonne must be very reluctant to part with him at this moment. In fact, he was the same. However, Samuel could not escape from the Tianqi. "Tomorrow. Give me one more day," Samuel said. Elder Yi nodded. He walked up to Han Nian and took out a jade pendant. It was transparent and one could tell at a glance that it was a high-quality jade pendant. "This is a gift for my nominal granddaughter. I hope to avoid some disasters for her with this safe jade pendant," said Elder Yi. Samuel did not refuse. The gift that the old man gave him must be very valuable. Since he wanted to be the god-grandpa, he had to pay something. "Is there any news about my daughter?" Fang Zhan asked Samuel. "The Nangong family is doing their best to investigate this matter. Although there is no news for the time being, you can rest assured that as long as she is alive, the Nangong family will definitely find her," Samuel said. Fang Zhan nodded and didn't make things difficult for Samuel, because he knew how difficult it was. After all, he didn't have much information. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find his daughter. "I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain." After saying this, Elder Yi and Fang Zhan left. Yvonne walked to Samuel silently and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." Samuel nodded. Since it was inescapable, he could only face it. And it was the greatest luck for him to get Yvonne’s support. "Don't worry; I will come back as soon as possible." At the foot of the mountain, Fang Zhan couldn't help asking Elder Yi, "Elder Yi, are you sure you want Samuel to participate in the fourth round of the ranking contest? Isn't this decision too rash? Samuel is now being watched by countless people. Once he fails, he will become a joke in Tianqi. This is a big blow to him." "Are you worried that his mentality can't bear the failure?" Elder Yi said. Fang Zhan nodded. He did have this kind of worry. After all, Samuel was too important for Tianqi. Once he joined the competition, he would definitely attract everyone's attention. It would be best if he could stand out in the ranking contest, but if he failed, he would be laughed at and even be rejected by Tianqi. Therefore, in his opinion, it was not appropriate to arrange such an arrangement for Elder Yi. At least he should give Samuel some time. A year, only a year, was enough for him to advance to the Heaven Class. He didn't need to be in such a hurry. "In fact, as long as he is given enough time, it will be very easy for him to do this," Fang Zhan said. "If he wants to shock everyone with a single brilliant feat, now is the best time. He needs to use his own abilities to prove himself, or else how will he be able to take on the heavy responsibility of four sects in the future, how will he make others feel convinced?" Elder Yi said. The heavy responsibility of four sects? He was just a newcomer to Tianqi. What did the heavy responsility of four sects have to do with him? Suddenly, Fang Zhan's eyes became extremely shocked. He even looked at Elder Yiin a slightly frightened way and said, " Elder Yi. Are you going to hand the four gates over to him?" Fang Zhan couldn't believe this idea. Tianqi was jointly controlled by the four gates and three halls, and the power of the four gates was almost supreme. However, the Elder Center for self-cultivation was actually going to give the four gates to Samuel. This was very incredible in Fang Zhan's view. Elder Yi nodded and said, "You know very well what's going on in the Tianqi forbidden area. It's fluctuating again, and no one knows what's going to happen next. I plan to..." Speaking of this, Elder Yi took a deep breath and continued, "Go in and have a look." Fang Zhan stood stunned on the spot, as if he had been struck by lightning. "Go in and have a look?" The Tianqi Sect had sent hundreds of people, but there was no return without exception. That was almost a dead end. As long as one went there, he would never have a chance to come back. It was not a wise choice for Elder Yi to choose to go there personally by himself, even though he was an important figure inTianqi. "Elder Yi, you can't do this. Since the establishment of Tianqi, we have sent more than a hundred people in, but no one can come back alive. How can you die?" Fang Zhan said nervously. "I will die without regret if I am able to see what kind of place it is before I die. If you want me to have this regret, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die," Elder Yi said firmly. Obviously, this was a plan that he had made a long time ago, which could not be changed by Fang Zhan's words. Fang Zhan let out a heavy sigh of bad luck. If other people in the Tianqi era knew this decision and he wondered what they would think, perhaps everyone would be shocked. "Elder Yi, have you ever thought about the infighting among the four sects and three halls over the years? Once you have an accident, the three halls are likely to annex the four sects and dominate the world. In the future, the Tianqi era is likely to change because of this." Fang Zhan reminded him. "That's why I've been testing Samuel’s character all this time. His performance made me very satisfied. Other than him, I can't think of anyone else who is more qualified to take over the four gates," Elder Yi said. "You think too highly of Samuel, but he doesn't have the strength to control the four gates now. Besides, Lin Tong is one of the four gates. He won't let Samuel easily take over the position of the leader of the four gates," Fang Zhan said. Lin Tong's repeated actions against Samuel showed that he wanted Samuel to die badly. Once Lin Tong found an opportunity, he would definitely step on Samuel tightly. Take the ranking contest for example. Once Samuel lost, Lin Tong would definitely incite all the people in the four sects to laugh at Samuel. In this way, Samuel would have even less prestige. Who would want him to be the leader of the four sects in the future? Elder Yi smiled faintly and said, "I heard that Lin Tong has been very close to the people of the three halls recently. It seems that he has already planned to betray the four sects." Betray the four gates! These four words made Fang Zhan's face flash with a trace of ferociousness. Although the four gates and three halls belonged to Tianqi, many years of internal strife had drawn a line between the four gates and three halls. The two groups didn't like each other, and there were even some disputes. If Lin Tong chose to betray the four gates and go to the three halls, it would be a great humiliation for the four sects. "This guy, how can he do this? Isn't he humiliating us?" Fang Zhan gnashed his teeth and said. "So, I have to ask Samuel to save his face. Everyone in the three halls is waiting to see me make a fool of myself," Elder Yi said. Fang Zhan let out a sigh of bad luck and said, "I hope Samuel won’t let you down. Otherwise, the whole four gates will lose face because of him." Elder Yi had such high hopes for Samuel, but Samuel didn't know anything. He was chatting with Yvonne in private. There was only one day left. Except for Yvonne, Samuel didn't want to talk to anyone else. In the evening, the family of three slept together. Han Nian slept soundly, but Samuel and Yvonne did not close their eyes. This was the last night they hugged each other, and no one was willing to sleep. It was not until dawn that Yvonne got up to make breakfast for Samuel. Over the years, as his wife, Yvonne had never made a formal meal for Samuel. This time, Samuel was about to leave, Yvonne hoped to fulfill her duty as a wife.
