When Lu Minzhu arrived, she was in a daze because of her senior brother's words. When she left, her symptoms not only did not improve but worsened, and she became numb. Listening to Gu Yao's words, Lu Minzhu felt that he was a complete stranger, an ex-fiancé who was eager to distance himself from her past and had no connection at all.Could it be that it was because Gu Yao was good at hiding and concealing?Back in her own cave, Lu Minzhu took a deep breath and laughed at herself. She used to think that she and Gu Yao would never be in the same world again, but now she realized that the person she used to look down upon now didn't even have the strength to be jealous, because the gap was too big.Lu Minzhu felt powerless, and she didn't know what the reaction of the Lu and Gu families would be when they heard this news, especially the Gu family, who were the most regretful.Wu Changlao and Yan Yang originally thought they could establish some relationship between Lu Minzhu and Gu Yao, but seeing the expression on Lu Minzhu's face, they knew that the relationship was definitely not ideal. Fortunately, the Beixing Sect was powerful, and the rise of such an alchemist would not have a big impact on the Beixing Sect.However, the high-level members of the Beixing Sect had made a decision. If they encountered Gu Yao during their future adventures, they should focus on making friends. For alchemists like Hu Guzhu, they were very precious to the Tianlin Continent.Lu Minbai, who was in the outer sect, and his ears were not working properly. The alchemist Gu Yao that the disciples were talking about was not the same person he knew, right? Well, it shouldn't be. There were many cultivators with the same name and surname in the cultivation world.But he didn't know that after digesting this news, his sister Lu Minzhu had someone send a letter to Far Yang Town. As for when this letter would be delivered, it was not something Lu Minzhu was concerned about.The disciples in the Cuiyan Valley also had a heated debate because of Hu Guzhu's return to the valley. As a disciple of the valley, Gu Yu couldn't avoid being filled with rumors. She was shocked but also had a feeling that was not too surprising. After leaving the Gu family, Gu Yao really soared to the sky. It was okay when he was in Far Yang Town, where he was still under the control of the Gu family, but now that he had completely left Far Yang Town, the last trace of connection with the Gu family had been cut off.
"Huh? Gu Yao's surname is Gu, and Junior Sister Gu Yu, your surname is also Gu. You two wouldn't happen to come from the same cultivation clan, right? Haha, I'm just joking. Junior Sister Gu Yu, don't take it seriously.
People were clearly joking, but Gu Yu almost let the cat out of the bag. When people burst into laughter, she finally realized that she had been holding her breath. This was only when she was able to slowly relax.
"Indeed, there are several disciples in the valley with the surname Gu," Gu Yu chimed in with a stiff face. Only she knew in her heart that admitting her relationship with Gu Yao would not only have no benefits for her, but it would also put her in an awkward position. Those disciples who vehemently criticized Gu Yao would immediately turn their guns towards her.
At this time, Gu Yu was glad that among the people from Yuan Yang Town who participated in the Ascension Conference, only she had entered Cuiyan Valley. There were no other people. Otherwise, even if she didn't say, her relationship with Gu Yao might have been revealed.
Like Lu Minzhu before, Gu Yu also wanted to send a letter home to let the family know about it. Otherwise, it would be too sudden to find out from others. But she also understood very well that the relationship between the Gu family and Gu Yao could never return to the past.
Moreover, the Gu family really owed Gu Yao. After the Changxian Sect token was sent out, the Gu family wanted to make amends, but it was too late.
Moreover, Chi Changye, who was of unknown origin, turned out to be a foundation building cultivator. This was at the same level as the ancestors of the Gu family.
In the distant Yuan Yang Town, the Lu family and the Gu family finally received letters from the Beixing Sect and Cuiyan Valley.
The heads of both families were very happy. This was the pride of their families. Although the Lu family did not have a child who was accepted into the Changxian Sect as an exception, nor did they, like the Tian family, have another foundation building cultivator, the fact that their daughter had joined the Beixing Sect and was accepted as a disciple by the elders of the Beixing Sect was a top honor in Yuan Yang Town. Those who had ridiculed Lu Minzhu before were now envious.
"Minzhu has finally sent a letter back. Let's see what it says," urged the head of the Lu family, because his granddaughter had become a disciple of the Beixing Sect's elders, giving him more confidence in front of the head of the Gu family.
The eldest son of the Lu family, because of his own children, also became the first among several brothers. It was clear that the position of the head of the family would fall to him in the future. When he saw the envious eyes of his other brothers and nephews, he opened the letter, habitually gave it a glance first, even before his mouth opened. His eyes were wide open, the paper slipped from his hand, disbelief filled his face.
"What does the letter say? Give me the letter, let me see it myself," the head of the Lu family grabbed the letter impatiently. After a glance, his expression was the same, "How is this possible?"
After he stood there for a long time, returned to his senses and the first thing he did was to chase out the younger generations, leaving only his responsible sons. He explained the things that Lu Minzhu had mentioned in her letter, which also left them in shock, only one voice in their minds, "How is this possible? That's really Gu Yao?"
"Huh? If Gu Yao's surname is Gu, and you, my junior sister Gu Yu, also bear the surname Gu, are you not from the same cultivation family? Haha, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, junior sister Gu Yu.
While others were clearly joking, Gu Yu almost let the cat out of the bag. It was only when everyone else started laughing that she realized she had been holding her breath all this time, and finally began to relax.
"Yeah, there are several disciples with the surname Gu in the valley," Gu Yu said with a stiff face. But only she knew that revealing her relationship with Gu Yao would not only give her no advantage but also put her in an awkward position. Those disciples who succeeded in hurling accusations at Gu Yao would instantly turn their criticisms towards her.
Gu Yu was grateful that among the people who came to the Ascension Convention from Yuan Yang Town, she was the only one who had entered Cui Yan Valley. Otherwise, even if she kept silent, her relationship with Gu Yao might be revealed.
Like Lu Min Zhu, Gu Yu wants to send a letter home as well. Regardless, her family should know about this, to avoid hearing it from someone else. However, she also knew very clearly that her family and Gu Yao's ties would never return to what they once were.
Moreover, Gu's family really owes Gu Yao. When the Changxian Sect's token was given out, it was too late for the Gu family to make up for it.
And that mysterious latecomer, Chi Chang Ye, has already become a foundation-building cultivator, at the same level as the Gu family's ancestor.
At the far-off Yuan Yang Town, the Lu and Gu families finally received letters from the Beixing Sect and Cui Yan Valley.
Both heads of the household were extremely happy. This was their families' pride. Although the Lu family did not have any descendants who were extraordinarily accepted into the Changxian Sect or a foundation-building cultivator like the Tian family, Lu's daughter entered the Beixing Sect and was accepted as a disciple by the Sect's elder, which was a great honor in Yuan Yang Town. No matter how many times those who laughed at Lu Min Zhu before are now envious.
"Min Zhu finally sent a message back home. Let's see what's written on the letter." Urged by the head of the Lu family study, because his granddaughter became the disciple of the elder of the Beixing Sect, his status before the head of the Gu family has also improved.
The eldest son of the Lu family has also become the first amongst his siblings due to his children, claiming the position of the head of the household in the future, without a doubt. Seeing the envious eyes of his other brothers and nephews, as the eldest, he opens the letter and habitually scans it first. However, before he could speak, his eyes widened in disbelief, the letter slipped from his hands, clearly in disbelief.
"Don't bet that you can force his secret that's been hidden for many years out of him. Look, Gu Yao, who has a four-spirit root qualification, has become a senior alchemist in just over a year after leaving the Gu family. As long as his cultivation increases one more step in the future, it is not impossible for him to become an eighth-grade alchemist. If the Gu family had him, what else would Gu Yao need? He sent the biggest help to Gu Yao.
After the people who left the Ascension Conference returned, the information they brought back about Gu Yao made the Gu family regret it a lot. They knew that this kid had always been guarding against the Gu family and didn't reveal his alchemy skills when he was in Yuanyang Town. Only after leaving did he feel confident. Once this news spread, many people in Yuanyang Town were laughing at the Gu family.
Gu Yao's achievements were far more than these. On the way, he hid some of them. What a deep mind! Others purely regret it, to Gu's second, after all kinds of mixed emotions, there is only one left - a sense of being deceived: "This unfilial son! How dare he do this!
This unfilial son doesn't treat him as his father and has been deceiving him for more than ten years! In Gu's second view, he can ignore Gu Yao's son, but the son can't be sorry for his father. Look at everything now, born with a rebellious nature, how can he like this unfiliable son.
"Enough!" The Gu family master scolded in anger, Gu's second was largely responsible for the current situation, "If you have ever taken half the responsibility of a father, Gu Yao won't disregard the Gu family. How many times did your two children do something wrong and you still protected them? Just because I didn't speak up before doesn't mean I didn't know. How did Chi Zhangye appear in the Gu family? Is Gu Yao bold, but your two kids are also extremely bold. Did they think of that day as my birthday as their grandfather when they did it?"
"Dad!" Gu's second eye was bulging, was he scolded?
"If you want to talk about rebellion, it started with you. How much of my previous teachings did you take to heart? Huh, it's your son's turn to disobey you, isn't it?" The head of the Gu family was angry. He was just taking out his anger on the second one. Otherwise, should he blame himself for doing something wrong? That's impossible!
"You listen to me, from today, no one in the Gu family is allowed to mention Gu Chen's whereabouts. The Gu family pretends that he doesn't exist. And the second one, hurry up and prepare to marry off your daughter, Gu Xing. You're still young and have no lack of filial children. Anyone who dares to disobey can leave the Gu family on their own!"
Gu's second face was flushed with anger, but he had no choice.
Gu's third was scared. Thinking back, had he done anything wrong to Gu Yao in his own house? He also wrote a letter to his daughter, telling her about Gu Chen. The Gu family owner was not allowed to mention, but still let his daughter know. When his daughter and others went to the Ascension Conference, Gu Chen disappeared suddenly. According to their family master and Gu's second, he was taken away by a high-profile person as a disciple.
Gu's third was very skeptical.
As for Gu's oldest, his eyes were the deepest, with huge waves hidden beneath them. He was also regretful for letting Gu Yao run wild.
