Chapter 249 Send Her To Me
“We can spend time with them for the next ten years or so. When they head to Archean Mountain, we won’t get to spend much time with them,” Liu Qiyue said softly, feeling unwilling to part with them.
“When the children grow up, they will ultimately have to walk their own paths,” said Meng Chuan. “After reaching the Mortal Shedding realm, they will know that we are both Marquis Godfiends. Although they will be very excited, they still have to keep it a secret at the Dao Academy. They won’t be able to bully others because of their power. Both of them have good temperaments. Our two children are truly outstanding.”
“Okay.” Liu Qiyue nodded. As their children grew up, the couple realized that they had less time to spend with their children.
“I’m going to practice my archery.” Liu Qiyue stood up.
“Let’s go together. I want to practice my saber arts too,” said Meng Chuan.
The couple left the small manor. There were usually only two servants inside.
After returning to Meng Manor, they cultivated next to Starmoon Lake.
No matter how much he theorized about saber arts, it wasn’t as good as actual practice! After practicing over and over again, Meng Chuan knew that his talent in saber arts was considered at the genius level. However, he was inferior to Xue Feng, Yan Chitong, and the others. He naturally needed to put more effort into it and didn’t dare slack
off.
In the evening, at Green Elm Dao Academy.
Meng You, Meng An, and the other disciples walked out of the Dao Academy together. At that moment, a multi-colored bird was flying in midair and looking down. It was another third Firmament avian demon monarch that Meng Chuan and his wife had exchanged for from Archean Mountain. It was secretly following the twins and was responsible for protecting them. It was also stronger than the gray bird Meng Chuan and his wife had exchanged for previously. The gray bird took human form. It took on the identity of Liu Qiyue’s personal female attendant, Aunt Hui. Aunt Hui was the one responsible for relaying information to her.
The multi-colored bird took human form and acted as Uncle Hua. Occasionally, it would use the identity of the twins’ elder to deal with Green Elm Dao Academy.
“Junior Sister Méng, Junior Brother Méng, we are having a gathering at Rotten Stone Garden tonight. Are you guys going?” asked a blue-robed youth at the entrance of the Dao Academy.
“We still have to return. Father and Mother are very strict with us,” said Meng An with a smile. The siblings followed their parents’ instructions and had used the names Méng You and Méng An to cultivate in the Dao Academy. The Skydemon Sect was everywhere. The couple had done their best to protect the two children by making them use a different surname-Méng.
“The two of you are still too young. You don’t understand how things work.” The blue-robed youth had a sword by his waist as he boarded a luxurious carriage. A carriage driver and six guards escorted the departing carriage.
“Junior Sister Méng, let’s spar again tomorrow,” said a red-robed girl with a smile. Following that, she boarded a carriage. It, too, had a carriage driver and guards.
In front of the Dao Academy’s entrance, many descendants of ancient Godfiend family clans were escorted by an entourage.
Jiang State Capital had two Marquis Godfiends— Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuanpresiding over it. Liu Qiyue could unleash the strength of an ordinary Regis Godfiend by casting Phoenix’s Nirvana. Meng Chuan was known to be the fastest Godfiend in the world. Thus, Jiang State Capital was favored by many large family clans. They arranged for their families to reside in Jiang State Capital. Many children from Godfiend family clans were in Green Elm Dao Academy.
“Let’s go back.” Meng You and Meng An did not mind the blue-robed youth’s words.
The descendants of Godfiend family clans were just that—descendants. As immediate children of powerful Godfiends, Meng You and Meng An had much higher status. Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue even had to think of ways to keep their identities a secret because the Skydemon Sect might assassinate them!
A bustling crowd of disciples still lingered at the entrance of the Dao Academy as they left. As they walked home, the number of disciples accompanying them decreased. “Senior Sister Méng, Senior Brother Méng, see you tomorrow.” On the limestone streets, a young girl smiled and walked towards her house.

“Junior Sister Ning, see you tomorrow,” said Meng You and Meng An with a smile.
“What are you doing?” exclaimed a young girl suddenly. Huh? Meng You and Meng An exchanged looks and walked over. Their parents guarded Jiang State Capital, so it was a very safe city. “Stop, stop!” Junior Sister Ning shouted anxiously because quite a number of people were moving items out of her home.
“Get lost!” roared a black-robed man angrily as he swung his hand towards the girl.
The girl immediately dodged but was still sent flying. Meng You and Meng An immediately went forward to help Junior Sister Ning
“Junior Sister Ning, this is your house, right?” Meng You asked curiously. “I don’t know who these people are. They came and started moving things out of my house,” said Junior Sister Ning anxiously.
“Your house?” The man in black frowned and looked at Junior Sister Ning. “You’re Ning Donggu’s daughter?” The black-robed suddenly said, “Capture her. That old man will repay his debt if we capture her.”
A voice sounded from the courtyard. “Stop, stop!” A middle-aged man with a bruised face rushed out and shouted, “You guys have foreclosed my house and my shop. Isn’t it enough to capture me? Why are you capturing my daughter?”
“Ning Donggu.” The black-robed man sneered. “The money you owe my young master has already reached 30,000 taels of silver because of the interest. Your house and shop might not even be enough. Besides, once your shop is sold to repay the debt, you will probably owe more than 30,000 taels of silver. That’s why we will be holding your entire family captive so that you will obediently work to repay the debt.”
“You did business with my business partner and plotted against me, forcing me to give my palm print.” The middle-aged man was ferocious. “You deliberately stalled for time, disappearing when I was trying to return the debt. Now that you have appeared, you have turned 3,000 taels of silver to 30,000 because of the interest? And the debt will keep increasing? When will it end?”
“You’ll have to talk to my young master.” The man in black smiled and said, “Take Ning Donggu and his daughter away.”
Even Ning Donggu and his wife were caught. In despair, his wife said, “I knew we shouldn’t have done business with Young Master Wang, but you didn’t listen. We are doomed.”
Two muscular men walked towards Junior Sister Ning with cold smiles on their faces, wanting to take her down.
Bam! Bam!
Meng An stepped forward and kicked out twice, sending the two Marrow Cleansing strongmen flying. Meng An—who was at the Mortal Shedding realm-had a robust Godfiend foundation. In terms of strength, he could match a Impervious realm expert. Naturally, he could defeat the two goons easily.
“I heard that there are some people in Jiang State Capital who deliberately scheme and force others into bankruptcy. It’s all a scheme to take their homes.” Meng An looked at the group of people in front of him and scoffed. “You’ve seized the Ning family’s residence and store?”
The man in black looked at the pair of siblings and frowned slightly. “Kid, there are things that you can’t and shouldn’t interfere with.”
“I’ll be interfering in this matter for sure.” Meng An pulled out his bag from behind him and retrieved a spear. He spun the spear, and it immediately reached nine feet long. With the spear in hand, he looked at the group of people in front of him.“Senior Brother Méng!” Junior Sister Ning was starting to panic. “You sure have guts.” A thin man sneered and stepped forward, instantly drawing his saber. Clang! Clang! Clang! However, Meng You suddenly drew her sword. With a flash of her sword, the thin man let out a tragic cry as he retreated. A bloody hole was left in his arm as he glared angrily at Meng You. He immediately said, “This lass is very powerful.”
“Who are you? How dare you meddle in our affairs?” The black-robed man frowned as well.
“Brother, this pair of siblings are from another house a quarter-kilometer away. They are called Méng You and Méng An,” said one of his subordinates softly. “I’ve seen their father before. He’s not famous, but from the looks of it, he should be at the Impervious realm.”
“Méng You, Méng An?” The black-clothed man nodded slightly. His subordinates knew almost all the families in the vicinity. They had their own judgment on which families were fat sheep to be fleeced and which ones they could not touch.
Suddenly, a luxurious carriage escorted by guards came over. The curtains on the carriage were lifted slightly. A pale-faced youth looked outside and asked, “Guard Yu, is everything done?”
“A pair of siblings suddenly interrupted us,” said the black-robed man softly.
“Siblings?” The pale-faced youth looked over and his eyes lit up when he saw Meng You. As Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s daughter, Meng You had inherited their extraordinary looks. She had been nurtured since she was young, and she had a robust Godfiend foundation. Her eyes held a spirited look.
“What a stunning little beauty.” The pale-faced youth instructed, “Be careful. Don’t damage her flesh. Send this little beauty to my place. Let’s go!” He lowered the curtain after he spoke.
