3309 Visit “Who has the nerve to forcibly occupy and settle in Feng Manor!” Just as Guan Xilin was about to take a rest, he heard this and laughed. This person was most likely from the Shao family since he arrived rather quickly. Guan Xilin collected his thoughts, turned around, and walked outside. Outside, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire standing in the front courtyard with his hands behind his back, closely followed by several guards. Based on his imposing aura, he should be the Shao family’s patriarch. “Are you the Shao family’s patriarch?” Guan Xilin asked. Even though he asked this question, he felt rather certain about the answer. He just didn’t expect Patriarch Shao to care so much about this place that he came here right away. Patriarch Shao’s expression changed when he heard Guan Xilin’s question, and he asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? Why did you enter Feng Mansion? Are you aware that Feng Manor has an owner?” Guan Xilin broke into a smile. “Patriarch Shao, please have a seat inside!” He gestured as if he were the host. Without waiting for Patriarch Shao, he had already stepped into the building. Patriarch Shao frowned and stared at the person’s back for a moment before finally following him inside. When Patriarch Shao entered the hall and saw Guan Xilin seated on the main seat, his eyebrows twitched and a glint of anger appeared in his eyes. “You consider yourself to be the owner of this place!” Guan Xilin smiled and said, “There’s no need to be angry, Patriarch Shao. Let me first introduce myself.” He looked at him with a smile. “My surname is Guan and my name is Xilin. I am Feng Jiu’s brother.” Patriarch Shao was startled when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and snorted. “You’re telling lies without even finding a reasonable excuse,” he said with a gloomy expression to Guan Xilin. “What do you mean by Feng Jiu’s brother? The surname of Feng Jiu is Feng, while yours is Guan. How can you say you’re her brother!” Guan Xilin wasn’t angry and simply smiled. “I am indeed her brother, but we are sworn siblings, not biological.” Do you really think I’ll take your word for it just because you say so?” Patriarch Shao said calmly, his cold eyes staring at him in apparent disbelief. “Why would I lie to you?” Guan Xilin shook his head and smiled. “I just recently went up the Immortal Ascension Ladder from the world of mortals. Since I haven’t heard from them, I’ve been asking around for information during my few days in this city. I only decided to visit Feng Manor today.” Patriarch Shao furrowed his brows and stood there looking at Guan Xilin without saying anything. “I’m not trying to make you believe me, but since you’re here, I want you to know that I’m here to wait for them to come back.” “How can I believe that you are Feng Jiu’s brother?” Patriarch Shao asked after staring at him for a long time. Guan Xilin smiled. “What does Master Shao want to know? The people around my sister? There are probably some things you don’t know, so there’s no need to mention them. However, soon, even if my sister doesn’t show up, her subordinates should arrive, and Patriarch Shao will know that what I said is true.” When Patriarch Shao heard this, he thought about it and then said, “Alright, I’ll believe you for now, but this place has been empty for five years. I told my subordinates to clean this area, but there are no servants here. If it’s inconvenient for you to stay here, why don’t you spend a few days in my Shao family’s residence?” Guan Xilin smiled. “No, I’ll just stay here.” When Patriarch Shao saw this, he remained silent and said nothing further. While he was talking to him, he couldn’t help but notice this other person. He secretly examined this person and, impressed by his natural and uninhibited demeanour, decided to put his trust in him.
