As Lin Tianxue got closer to the reception room, she felt her legs growing weaker and more tired.
Even though she was in her own home, it felt as if she were about to step into the jaws of a ferocious beast, where even life and death were no longer under her control.
The title of the guardian god of Beijing was indeed grand. Yet beneath this grand title lay the unparalleled strength of the celestial god.
Perhaps compared to characters like Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, the celestial god seemed weak and insignificant, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the celestial god rightfully deserved the name!
No matter how much havoc Lin Tianxue stirred in the Beijing gathering place, she could not deny one fact—that these matters were merely trivialities. Not to mention Wen Yu, even if the celestial god took a stand, it could instantly resolve the minor disputes between Lin Tianxue and Lin Haifeng.
The so-called candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Beijing gathering place was likely seen as a minor dispute in the eyes of such powerful beings...
Lin Tianxue’s eyes were dazed. In that moment when the thunderbolt struck, she thought of countless things.
“Perhaps my perspective is indeed too small…”
Lin Tianxue gave a self-deprecating smile, then sighed softly until she reached the door of the reception room and saw the celestial god inside.
At this moment, the celestial god was standing in the reception room, his eyes fixed on the family portrait hanging in one corner.
In the photo, Lin Haifeng had not yet grown white hair, while Lin Kuangliu and Lin Tianxue still had a youthful radiance. The three of them were embracing each other with bright smiles, and the entire picture was warm and harmonious, as if narrating the bond between father and son, father and daughter.
“Celestial Lord.”
Lin Tianxue calmed her emotions and deliberately pretended that nothing had happened, simply bowing her head to greet the celestial god. Then she stood beside him, following his gaze to the family portrait on the wall.
“That’s my brother.”
Lin Tianxue pointed at Lin Kuangliu in the photo and said.
The celestial god remained silent, maintaining his original posture while Lin Tianxue continued to speak.
“My brother and I have a very good relationship. The Celestial Lord may not be aware, but my mother passed away early, and my father has always been busy with work. Ever since I was about six years old, apart from the nanny, it has just been my brother and me relying on each other. There is a saying that an elder brother takes the role of a father; my brother is not only someone I have admired since childhood, but also my guardian god… um, much like the Celestial Lord to Beijing.”
After Lin Tianxue finished speaking, she stole a glance at the celestial god beside her, who remained silent...
Lin Tianxue felt a bit anxious and could only continue, “The Celestial Lord has heard of my brother’s name, right? Lin Kuangliu, um, who died at the hands of Wen Yu. He was the white tiger war god when the Beijing gathering place was first established. In terms of actual power, he was essentially the same as the current guardian god, which means that my brother was actually the first guardian god of the Beijing gathering place, while Tang Haofei was merely the second.”
Lin Tianxue went on and on, but she felt cold sweat suddenly break out on her forehead...
This series of attempts to establish connections and get closer was all for one thing—to ask the celestial god for leniency based on past family ties before the reckoning arrived. After tomorrow, no, after sending off the celestial god, she would immediately go to Lin Haifeng to admit her mistakes and apologize, relinquishing all her authority!
The celestial god was Lin Kuangliu...
On one side were the celestial god’s power and strength, and on the other was the celestial god’s identity; even if either one was considered alone, it was enough to turn Lin Tianxue’s ambitions to ashes—how could she dare to act recklessly under Lin Haifeng’s nose, except for relying on her identity as Lin Haifeng’s only daughter? But when the "only" was removed, one could reference the way Lin Kuangliu died...
