Gu Yao raised her eyebrows, so Gu Xing had killed himself to this extent. With her temper that was indulged by the Gu family, what good result could she have without the Gu family as her support?
"The other twin, Gu Chen, had disappeared long ago. Gu Dan Shi knows that, right?" Dong Lao Da continued after seeing Gu Yao nod her head. "The Fang family of the second branch is not much better than Fang Xing. I heard that they were tortured by the concubine of the second branch to the point that they were neither human nor ghost. They were despised by Gu Lao Er long ago and he didn't even want to see them. The Gu family is now controlled by the third branch. The third branch has a girl in Cui Yan Valley. I heard that the situation is not bad. And I'm afraid that the Gu family master may not dare to hand over the Gu family to Gu Lao Da. Dong Lao Da thinks that if the Gu family is handed over to the first branch of the Gu family, Gu Yao will probably not leave any face and destroy the Gu family. Now that there is the third branch to support them, at least the third branch is not too offended by Gu Yao. The current situation of the Gu family has made some of the side branches and illegitimate children more active than before. The direct line is probably going to be abolished, unless the one who went to the Long Xian Gate can come back alive."
Dong Lao Da frowned and said: "Some time ago, I heard that a five-colored lotus appeared. I only found out about it afterwards. This kind of competition may only be qualified for those cultivators who have built their foundation. It's not my turn. I think the Gu family should have participated, right? I don't know what the result is."
Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye looked at each other. Could it be that they were injured in the fight for the five-colored lotus? Anyway, they had to wait for Tian Fei Rong. He decided to go to the Gu mansion to explore after nightfall.
Seeing that Gu Yao didn't ask any more questions, Dong Lao Da left after finishing his words, and forbade his men to inquire about anything related.
It was late at night, Xiao Pang Zi stayed behind, Gu Yao and Chi Chang Ye left the room. Xiao Pang Zi had heard a lot about the Gu family during the day, and he wouldn't have any curiosity about the Gu family anymore, just like the Tian family. At the same time, he felt that Gu Yao didn't need sympathy. Just look at Gu Yao's achievements now and you'll know. The Gu family's regret was clear without looking.
Xiao Pang Zi touched the head of Liu Li who came out of his sleeve, and quietly waited for the three people who went out to come back.
In a blink of an eye, Chi Chang Ye brought Gu Yao to the top of the Gu mansion. With a thought, the whole Gu mansion fell under Chi Chang Ye's divine sense control: "Where do you want to go first, Xiao Yao?"
Gu Yao pointed to a direction below: "Let's go there first."
"Okay." Chi Chang Ye agreed and took him down. The two of them hid their figures. Even the highest cultivator of the Gu family couldn't detect them.
The two came to a courtyard. They waved their hands and the door in front opened. The two walked in as if no one else was there. The room was filled with alcohol and powder smell, but it was isolated before it got close to them.
The man on the bed was Gu Lao Er, Gu Zhi Ming, but Gu Yao didn't even want to look at him. He flicked his finger at the air, and invisible powder scattered. Then he said: "Let's go. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me from now on."
Chi Chang Ye knew what the powder would do after being inhaled, but he didn't think Gu Yao did anything wrong. If Gu Yao didn't want this man to live, he wouldn't let Gu Yao do it, but he would do it himself to take the man's life. After all, Gu Yao had a barrier of identity.
This way was better. After they left, Gu Zhi Ming would soon find out that his cultivation, which was not very good in the first place, would become weaker and weaker, until the spiritual power in his dantian completely dissipated, and he could no longer absorb any spiritual energy, becoming a complete ordinary person. He didn't know if this man could still live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
The next moment, the two came to the top of another courtyard. The room below was surrounded by layers of formations and restrictions, but there were still many flaws under their divine sense. They could easily probe into it. Inside was the old ancestor of the Gu family. His expression was wilted, and he was indeed seriously injured.
"It seems that they are asking for the Xia Ling Lu for this old guy. If this injury can't be cured, this old guy won't have much time to live. Let's go and see the Gu family master."
Gu Yao was very clear that without this old ancestor who had built his foundation, the Gu family would fall to what position. Now the Tian family had three cultivators who had built their foundation, no, four with Tian Da Ge. Lu Min Zhu of the Lu family still had hope of building her foundation. The Gu family was difficult. By then, even if the Tian and Lu families had some scruples and didn't make a move against the Gu family, they would have a hard time maintaining their current position in the town.
Gu Yao didn't have much feeling for this old ancestor. The one he disliked the most in the Gu family was Gu Lao Er, and the other was the Gu family master. Gu Lao Er's attitude determined the cold treatment and humiliation that the original body received in the Gu family. The Gu family master, heh, was not much better than Gu Lao Er. The original body and his mother were both used by the Gu family master to gain the greatest benefit. But after all the calculations, it was all in vain.
The two came to the outside of the room where the Gu family master was. He hadn't rested at this time. It happened that someone came to see him. The two stood outside the window and listened. The person who came to see the Gu family master was someone Gu Yao had never seen in the Gu family. Of course, with his status in the Gu family, he had no chance to recognize everyone, let alone the confidants around the family master.
"Family master."
"You're here." The Gu family master took out a box with layers of seals and said, "Take this to the other side, personally hand it to Chen Er, tell him that the future of our Gu family depends on him, and let him focus on the big picture and cultivate well."
"Yes, family master, I will definitely deliver it to Young Master Chen personally."
But as soon as the man turned to leave, he felt dizzy and faint. He knew something was wrong, but he fell down. When he fell down, he saw the family master struggling to ask for help, but he didn't know what happened afterwards.
Gu Yao walked in with a cold face, reached out and grabbed the box from the man's hand, flew out and fell into his hand, directly broke the seal with brute force and opened the box, a burst of fragrance came out: "The lotus seeds of the five-colored lotus? Heh, it's a good thing. No wonder you dare to say let Gu Chen cultivate well. With the help of this lotus seed, Gu Chen has a promising future."
"What's the point of having a promising future? Just find out where that guy is and cripple him." Chi Chang Ye disagreed and said, "This old guy is really hard-hearted. He didn't even use it for himself and gave it to Gu Chen. He obviously knew that using it on himself was a waste."
Chi Chang Ye could see that after ten years, this old guy's cultivation had not increased at all. He probably used too much of his mind, calculating everything, but ended up losing more than he gained. This lotus seed had the possibility of increasing the success of building the foundation, but the more important effect was to clear the impurities in the body and improve the potential. It was obvious that using it on Gu Chen would have a greater effect.
But now that it fell into Gu Yao's hands, of course it wouldn't go back. Gu Yao turned his hand and put it into his space, ready to dig a pond and plant the lotus seeds. He was also interested in the five-colored lotus. He wanted to know what ingredients in the five-colored lotus had an effect on improving the potential. It might help him research and modify the elixirs. Chi Chang Ye finished and reached out to cover the old guy's head. He wanted to know Gu Chen's whereabouts and find the answer himself. He didn't want to expose Gu Yao's existence and let Gu Yao confront the old guy directly. As for what the old guy would suspect when he woke up, he would let him figure it out by himself. According to him, with his golden core strength, searching the soul of a cultivator who hadn't built his foundation, as long as he was careful, he wouldn't cause much damage to the other party. But Chi Chang Ye's action seemed a bit rough. Would he leave any sequelae for the old guy… Wouldn't that be better?
Chi Chang Ye's expression gradually sank. After a while, he withdrew his hand and left the room with Gu Yao.
Gu Yao didn't urge him, knowing that Chi Chang Ye would tell him everything.
After leaving the Gu mansion, Chi Chang Ye said: "This old guy really regarded Gu Chen as the trump card of the Gu family. Can you guess who Gu Chen was taken away by?"
"Who? It must not be a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared for ten years." Of course, in the past ten years, Gu Yao hadn't thought of this person.
"Right, it was ten years ago when we left Yuan Yang Town. Gu Chen brought a person to the old guy's face and said he wanted to go with that person. And that person, was an evil cultivator. He found that Gu Chen's physique was very suitable for inheriting his cultivation method, so he took Gu Chen away. And these years, the old guy has been secretly supporting Gu Chen."
"Gu Chen initially went with that person, with the intention of avenging you. But he has been suppressed by the old guy for these years. He should know that he can't deal with you. He just wants to use Gu Chen as a trump card for the Gu family to preserve the Gu family. Gu Yang can come back best. Gu Yang is his favorite descendant. Gu Yang doesn't come back, this Gu family will be handed over to Gu Chen."
Chi Chang Ye sneered in his heart. Did he think that hiding Gu Chen would be fine? If Gu Chen was still in the Gu family, he and Gu Yao might just look at him a few times and not care. But he happened to put him in the hands of such a person to practice evil methods. Then don't blame him for being rude. He would wipe out this chess piece that was not even a threat. He couldn't tolerate such a person who hated Gu Yao to live.
When it was almost dawn, the master and servant who fainted in the room woke up. The Gu family master was shocked. He checked his own situation first and then called someone in. He searched the whole Gu mansion and saw what happened at night.
When he checked, the two lotus seeds of the five-colored lotus were gone. The Gu family master was heartbroken. He didn't even use it for himself and wanted to use it on Gu Chen. He hoped that the Gu family could produce a cultivator who had built his foundation. But he didn't expect the lotus seeds to disappear.
"Who is it? Who stole the five-colored lotus seeds from me? Damn it! Was there any abnormal situation?" The Gu family master asked his confidant guard.
The confidant guard replied with fear and trembling: "Family master, everyone was fine at night. We didn't find any traces of outsiders invading, except for the family master's place." The family master suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. None of them or the guards in the house noticed. What kind of strength could break in and leave so quietly? He racked his brains and said, "Could it be… Jin Lao Da from Xiong Tou Bao?"
The steward had just left Xiong Tou Bao and sent a message back that he didn't succeed in the negotiation. Jin Lao Da wanted to exchange the lotus seeds for Xia Ling Lu. The steward couldn't agree to that, of course, so the deal was stalled. Could it be that Jin Lao Da had set his eyes on the Gu family's lotus seeds and took them without asking?
