"Wrong?" Patriarch Guo was stunned, unable to react.
"Yes, you are wrong. Even though the smell of blood was extremely strong that night, no ferocious beast came near. The second half of the night was very peaceful and everyone rested for the night."
"That's impossible."
Patriarch Guo stood up, with his hands behind his back, and said, "Not to mention in the dark, even in the daytime, the strong smell of blood in a place like that would attract beasts to attack. You didn't leave that night, so how could there not be even one beast approaching you? This doesn't make sense."
As Patriarch Guo spoke, he stomped his feet as he walked in the courtyard. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he paused, turned around and looked at Guo Xinning, and asked, "Did you send anyone to patrol that night? Who patrolled the night?"
Hearing this, Guo Xinning admired him from the bottom of his heart. No wonder his father could dominate the entire Guo family and become the head of the Guo family. His insight was truly beyond the reach of others.
"It's me and Fengjiu." Having said this, he believed that with his father's wisdom, he must have thought of the reason.
"The wolves attacked but no one was hurt. You didn't leave that night and went on patrol. A thought formed in his mind. He looked at him in disbelief: "Is it Fengjiu? Is it because of Fengjiu that no beast dared to approach you that night? Is this possible? His strength..." His voice paused and hesitant.
Is the blue-clothed youth really only at the foundation-building stage? Impossible. If he was at the foundation-building stage, how could he protect the Xie brothers and sisters? And how could he be safe and sound in such a dangerous situation
"Yes, it was because of Fengjiu. Unfortunately, none of us knew about it at the time."
He sighed and said, "Not only did they not know that he was protecting us from the beasts, but our Guo family members also spoke deceitfully and contemptuously to them because they were injured while they were not injured at all. In the end, they even shouted at them to get out."
Patriarch Guo was stunned and shocked. He didn't know what to say. He just listened to him talking and told him what happened next. At the end, he just shook his head and sighed: "You guys!"
"If he hadn't come back to save us, I'm afraid we wouldn't have come back alive." Guo Xinning said.
Hearing this, Patriarch Guo glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "That's because you just spoke contemptuously and ignored him. If you had the intention to kill him, he would probably kill you even before the beasts attacked."
As a person who had been in a high position for a long time, he could more or less guess what the other party was thinking. Even if it was him, if they had the intention to kill him at that time, he would definitely not show mercy.
"At that time, the Great Elder's life was hanging by a thread, and I promised him that as long as he saved the Great Elder, I would give him something in return when he returned to the family. However..." He looked at his father, "I didn't know what to give him."
"Since this is the case, I will take care of this matter myself." Patriarch Guo said, pausing for a moment, "Since he said he doesn't want it to be publicized, then tonight's banquet should be low-key and there shouldn't be too many people."
"Father, I don't think he will attend the banquet." Guo Xinning said.
"Not going?"
"Yes, and they won't stay in our house for long. They should be in a hurry to go back."
