The Otherworldly God

Chapter 298

"Auntie, drink the soup."

Nangong Haoyue stopped what he was doing, walked over and took a look at the soup she was cooking.

"Let others do these things. If you have time, you might as well practice more."

"Don't worry, aunt. I've been practicing for two hours. I might as well take a break. Brother Lin just caught some fish, which is good for health. I'm afraid others might waste it."

Jinque'er handed the soup over, and Nangong Haoyue saw that she was filial, so he took it without saying anything.

Just as she was about to drink it, she paused and looked at Jinque'er, "What's wrong? I see you seem absent-minded. Are you worried that you won't be able to see Lin'er after he goes back?"

"Aunt, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not true."

"How can I not see what you are thinking? This Lin'er is the child of the head of the family. Although in the Taoist family, the inheritance of the position of the head of the family is based on virtue and ability, having status can also gain a lot of support. Besides, Lin'er does have the talent to be the head of the family. If he returns to Lezheng and becomes the head of the family, and you are the head of Donghai Pavilion, it will be impossible." Nangong Haoyue drank a mouthful of soup and continued: "Unless you give up Donghai Pavilion."

Thinking of this past event, Jinque'er shed tears, because she understood that Nangong Haoyue was just giving her a suggestion. If she couldn't let go of her personal feelings, she could only give up Donghai Pavilion.

At that time, she thought Nangong Haoyue wanted her to give up Donghai Pavilion, and felt that she did not have the ability to become the Pavilion Master. She even wondered why it was not Le Zhenglin who gave up the position of Patriarch, and why she should compromise.

She was still hesitant and wanted to persuade her to give up the fish soup, but in the end she watched her drink it all.

Yes, Jinque'er had also been secretly poisoning Nangong Haoyue because she thought it was Nangong Haoyue who had taken away her father's position as Pavilion Master and expelled her parents, causing her to suffer an unfortunate childhood.

What Jinqueer didn't know was that the culprit behind all this was her mother.

Back then, the old Pavilion Master Nangong discovered that her thoughts were impure, so he showed mercy and only expelled her from the Donghai Pavilion and ordered her to never set foot in the Donghai Pavilion again.

She used deception to trick Nangong Haoyue's brother into eloping with her. She chose him because he was easy to deceive, but most importantly, he was recognized as the next Pavilion Master.

She thought that through this relationship she could return to Donghai Pavilion and become the mistress of Donghai Pavilion, so she couldn't wait to devote herself and gave birth to Jinqueer.

She hated that Jinque'er was a girl. She asked for sex despite her body not having recovered yet, but was rejected. Nangong Haoyu began to feel disappointed in her.

But she thought that Nangong Haoyu disliked her fat body and haggard face, and even more so Jinque'er's female body. If it weren't for Nangong Haoyu's protection, Jinque'er would have died long ago.

Later, she heard from others that some women's temperaments would change after giving birth, so she used this as an excuse to deceive Nangong Haoyu into forgiveness. She also pretended to accept Jin Que'er, but only asked her to dress like a boy.

Nangong Haoyu was worried about her condition, but he didn't stop her because he saw that she was sincerely teaching Jinqueer.

When she heard that the Young Pavilion Master might be replaced by someone else, Nangong Haoyu looked indifferent. In desperation, he brought Jinqueer to the old Pavilion Master.

The old Pavilion Master saw through her tricks at a glance and ruthlessly exposed her lies.

"You are still narrow-minded. My Taoist family does not value gender, but talent. Haoyu's ability and talent in magic cultivation are unquestionable, but he does not have the ability to judge people. If you had not trapped him, he might have been a future Taoist master. As for the master of the East Sea Pavilion, it is impossible."

Her dream of becoming the Pavilion Master's wife was completely shattered, so when Nangong Haoyu asked her if she had been to the Donghai Pavilion, she told him everything. Only then did Nangong Haoyu realize that he had been deceived.

Nangong Haoyu turned and left, never to return. Jinqueer only remembered her mother crying hysterically.

"Nangong Haoyu, you will never be able to become the Pavilion Master in this lifetime. Did you hear me? It's impossible in this lifetime."

She changed Jinque'er's name, not allowing her to have the surname Nangong, and said that she would never be able to become the leader of the East China Sea Pavilion like her father.

Later, news came that Nangong Haoyu died of illness while inspecting the 72 islands in the East China Sea. Not long after, Nangong Haoyue became the young master of the East China Sea, which was somewhat unbelievable.

Coincidentally, another favored candidate for the position of Young Pavilion Master also fell ill. She thought that this was done by Nangong Haoyue for the position of Young Pavilion Master and blamed Nangong Haoyue for Nangong Haoyu's death.

In order to deceive Jinque'er, she took the risk of taking poison and framed Nangong Haoyue, telling her a false truth, but she never thought that she was weak and the dose of medicine would kill her.

Jinque'er believed that Nangong Haoyue was responsible for her parents' deaths. Thinking of her mother's coveted position as Pavilion Master, she vowed to take it back.

"You said that we are not good enough as father and daughter, but I want to become the leader of the East Sea Pavilion to show you."

She returned to Donghai Pavilion and achieved her goal step by step.

She had planned to take action against Nangong Lin, Nangong Haoyue's adopted son, but Nangong Lin saw through her plan. Nangong Lin instead told her about his life experience to reassure her, and Jinque'er gave up her plan.

Later, she found that Nangong Haoyue was sincere to her and trained her to be the young master. However, she was discovered by the spies when she secretly poisoned Nangong Haoyue, and was threatened by them to become their helper.

"Aunt, I was wrong."

The water curtain dispersed, like stars in the night sky, and Nangong Haoyue's figure appeared beside her, with his hand on her head.

"I never asked you, Que'er, do you really want to become the leader of Donghai Pavilion?"

"Aunt? I..."

“Whether it’s the head of a family or the head of a pavilion, this is never a status that is worth boasting about, because the word ‘head’ contained in it represents more of an extremely heavy responsibility and commitment.

Those who are in charge of the family must have a far-sighted vision and a broad mind; they need to always pay attention to all matters big and small within the family and make wise and decisive decisions at critical moments.

At the same time, you must have strong leadership and coordination skills, and be able to unite and lead everyone to move forward and grow together.

In addition, as the head of the family, he or she must shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the family's honor and interests, handle various complex relationships, and respond to various challenges and crises that may exist from the outside world.

You may gain something from it, such as status, glory, and wealth, but this is just a small reward after you have paid a lot. If you only see this small reward, you will never become a qualified Pavilion Master.

Jinqueer, do you know that if Donghai Pavilion is lost, as the Pavilion Master, I will live and die with Donghai Pavilion."

"Pavilion Master..."

Nangong Haoyue raised his hand to stop them, "Let me ask the head of a family, if your family is gone, what is the point of living?"

"Aunt...don't worry, I will never let Donghai Pavilion fall into the hands of the Tuoba clan."

"Stop! I am still the Pavilion Master, and I still have the final say here."

"aunt!"

"Have you two quarreled enough?"

Jinque'er looked behind Nangong Haoyue and saw that the woman was lying openly in the Pavilion Master's seat, with Jinque'er pointing a sword at her.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"Que'er, don't be rude."

Mu Xin sat up, leaned forward, and supported her chin with her hand. On her face was a funny mask that matched Le Zheng Yuhua's.

"Of course... he's my savior."

Mu Xin's eyes changed, and he stood up and roasted the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that jumped up.
