Gu Jian, just following Xu Yuan's orders, faithfully stood beside him.
"4th Uncle, I want to meet your son! Where is that bastard!?" he shouted from outside the courtyard.
Gu Jian was again surprised by Xu Yuan's behavior and attitude. He could sense that this Xu Yuan in front of him was no longer the Xu Yuan who only stayed silent when ridiculed, now Xu Yuan was the one who would take revenge, no matter who it was.
Xu Jing, playing chess with one of the Family Elders, immediately looked outside when he heard Xu Yuan's shout.
"Elder Xu, who is that? Looks like someone is looking for you," the 3rd elder said to Xu Jing. Xu Jing himself also had the title of 1st elder.
Xu Jing frowned curiously. He stood up and immediately went out of the house to see who had bothered him.
He could see Xu Yuan with his bodyguard standing in his yard.
"Xu Yuan, what's wrong? What do you mean by bastard?" Xu Jing asked.
"Of course your son, he injured me and planned to kill me with poison. I apologize to 4th uncle, because maybe I will kill him today," Xu Yuan straightforwardly.
Xu Jing was shocked to hear Xu Yuan's words, and he didn't know what his son had done. He thought that Xu Huo had a good relationship with Xu Yuan.
"That's not possible! Huo'er couldn't possibly do such a heinous thing! How dare you accuse him carelessly!?" angry.
Xu Yuan laughed sarcastically, "How can a father want his son to be blamed, but what a shame, your son's faults have exceeded the limit,"
Xu Jing growled. He clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't allow Xu Yuan to do anything to his son. He also couldn't act rashly on Xu Yuan because Xu Yuan was under the protection of his older brother, Xu Liang, who was now the head of the family.
"I will punish my own son, I promise! I beg you not to hurt my son," Xu Jing pleaded.
"You say that, but do you know who made me fight in the arena of life and death? He was Xu Huo who had hired someone else to kill me on the arena stage during the battle. He pretended to give me medicine when I was injured, but it turned out that he had given me a deadly poison! How could I just let it go!?"
Xu Jing was touched when he heard Xu Yuan's explanation. Xu Yuan's current position was slumped due to the ridicule of many people, and his son had done such a vile thing to Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan would not let Xu Hao go just like that.
He admitted that Xu Huo's actions were very vile towards Xu Yuan. How could he kill his cousin? What is the reason?
Xu Jing still didn't answer Xu Yuan's question until Xu Jing spoke up, "Okay, you can punish my son for his own actions, but if you try to kill him, then you will become my sworn enemy even though we share the same blood..."
"Don't worry uncle, I don't think I will kill him, your nephew is very kind, isn't he? Uncle should be proud to have a good-natured nephew like me," he boasted while carrying his chest proudly.
Xu Jing himself just sighed in annoyance, and he didn't expect that Xu Yuan, who was usually known to be indifferent, would now be a person concerned with his revenge.
Xu Jing furiously re-entered the house and closed the door with a bang. Xu Yuan and Gu Jian alone just stared at Xu Jing, leaving with smiles on their faces.
"Ahh, I forgot to ask where Xu Huo is, looks like I'll have to find him myself," he monologued.
Gu Jian just followed Xu Yuan from behind, and Xu Yuan was a little uncomfortable with Gu Jian's behavior of only seeing him as his boss.
"Aiyo, Brother Gu, I don't like someone following me from behind, you'd better just walk beside me hand in hand," he suggested.
He was no longer the Xu Yuan from before, who was only selfish with a flawed name plastered on him. Xu Yuan was more dedicated than Xu Yuan before, smarter and smarter in managing things.
After all, he was Xu Yuan, who came from Earth, and his memories of Earth had not faded at all. Xu Yuan, when on Earth, was known as the greatest IT expert in China or even Asia. But he didn't put too much emphasis on seniority as long as the person didn't cross his line.
Gu Jian was a little strange at his young master's sudden change in attitude. Usually, Xu Yuan didn't care about the position where he tried to escort Xu Yuan, and he only cared when someone bothered him and asked Gu Jian to take care of that person.
"B-but young master…,"
"You can't argue, I said you have to go hand in hand with me. What if an arrow from the side is pointing at me? If I die, brother Gu Jian will also be punished for it. It's better to prevent than to cure," he said like a wise man.
Gu Jian looked at Xu Yuan with admiration, and he didn't expect that the young master of Xianjin city that he always guarded had his policies.
"Alright young master," said Gu Jian, then stepped forward and walked with Xu Yuan.
"Brother Gu, do you think I should look for Xu Huo or return home?" he asked.
Gu Jian looked confused when he heard Xu Yuan's question, "I don't know sir, but I think it's better for young master to return home and prepare a well-thought-out revenge plan, if young master is aiming for revenge," he suggested.
Xu Yuan pondered a little. The advice given by Gu Jian wasn't bad either. He could prepare himself for a few days of cultivation and build a basic cultivation foundation before taking revenge on Xu Huo.
Even though he had reached the 9th level of the Nativity stage, his cultivation base was still insufficient, and he needed to build a foundation and strengthen it with some techniques.
Xu Hao was the son of the Xu family's first elder, it was easy to kill him, but when he killed Xu Huo, many enemies would shed their shells and openly torment him, so he had to be prepared before the day of vengeance came.
Xu Yuan nodded in understanding. He would listen to Gu Jian's suggestion, but he intended to go to one of his family's shops before that.
He needs a lot of medicinal plants and pills to unlock items in his system. Before he left the house, he asked the system how to open a locked item, and it turned out to be quite easy. You only need to scan the number of pills needed, then the items in the form of pills in the system shop will open automatically.
Even though a few pills had already been opened and he only needed to buy them, they belonged to the fairly high price category, in the 500-5,000 exchange points range.
That was a price he couldn't afford, and he only had 1,055 exchange points in his system. He couldn't waste a lot of exchange points because of some items he didn't necessarily know the use of.
After a while, they walked the streets of the city. Finally, Xu Yuan and Gu Jian arrived at their destination, the Xu family's drug store.
Several shop assistants who knew Xu Yuan immediately greeted him, "Welcome young master,"
