However, after Guo Nan caused such a ruckus in the Dugu Family and both Dugu Hong and her son had completely abandoned the Tianwu City, Dugu Kong naturally wouldn't drag down her sister and son by any means.

The Nanshi Mansion was poor, something Dugu Wuji looked down upon, and was still under the control of the meridian system. The entire Nanshi Mansion did not have as much money as a county in the Southern Cyanwood Forest Mansion.

The difference was enormous.

The Nanshi Mansion was too poor, and the people here often could not eat their fill. As the city lord, there was no point in wanting to revive the Nanshi Mansion, to find a way to mine more mines, at the very least, he had to let the people of the Nanshi Mansion eat their fill, so that when winter came, they would not starve to death.

Dugu Kong had no ambition, and this was his greatest wish.

He had never thought that the appearance of an incomparably large primeval vein would disrupt his plans.

The more critical a situation was, the more one would test one's courage. In order to protect her secret, Dugu Kong killed the people who followed him to search for the mines. Among them was the previous City Lord, a cousin of Dugu Kong.

The reason of their deaths was publicly announced, the Demonic Beast made a surprise attack, and those people, in order to cover Dugu Kong's retreat, were killed by the Demonic Beast.

The arrival of Guo Nan, Dugu Hong and Dugu Mei also gained a reputation, and was publicly announced that they were here to help kill the Demonic Beast, and could disrupt Dugu Wuji from arranging spies in the Southern Rock City.

Dugu Kong had already calculated everything and kept it a secret. Tianwu Academy came over to help and found a suitable reason.

At that critical moment, Dugu Kong displayed such boldness that was worthy of praise.

Even Guo Nan secretly admired the Dugu Kong that he had yet to see.

It had to be known that a decadent person, who was addicted to alcohol, could still remain calm and analyze the consequences when encountering a primeval vein. That kind of spirit was not something that ordinary people could possess.

Just from this matter, Guo Nan knew that Dugu Kong was definitely not a simple person.

The reason he stayed in Tianwu City and lived his days in such a stiff manner, was probably to deceive people. He was just trying to find the right opportunity.

The decadence and sloppiness he displayed allowed his life to be at ease, tricking both Dugu Wuji and Dugu Long.

If he was able to show off, would Dugu Wuji and Dugu Long be able to let him live?

It would be a wonder if such a strong and patient person didn't have a major problem to deal with.

Upon arriving at Southern Rock City, Guo Nan was suddenly filled with anticipation. He wanted to see what kind of person Dugu Hong's father was.

The size of the City Lord's Mansion was not very big. After entering the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, after walking for a few tens of meters, Guo Nan saw a three-storey building, which was the residence of the Southern Rock City's City Lord.

Dugu Kong walked out of the house, looked at Guo Nan, Dugu Mei and Dugu Hong who had just alighted from the carriage, and the corners of her mouth raised into a smile.

”Dugu Hong, you brat, finally willing to come visit daddy!” When Dugu Kong saw Dugu Hong, her eyes showed relief. The matter regarding the One Line Sky had already spread to the Southern Rock City. As Dugu Hong's father, he felt proud.

”Mei Er, you too, why haven't you come to visit your big brother?”
