"The blame for colluding with the demons and harming his own people has been firmly placed on Gu Zhi's head."

Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction:

"Having said that, Second Uncle still needs to keep a close eye on Chen Xianzhi. It's better to be safe than sorry."

"And...if Father really knows something, Second Uncle should know what to do, right?"

Gu Mowang quickly said:

"Of course I know."

Gu Chen refilled Gu Mowang's tea and asked with a smile:

"Cousin will be back from the Southern Wilds soon, right?"

Gu Mowang's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"Yes, Hui'er should be back from the Southern Wasteland in two months."

Gu Chen sighed:

"Twelve years ago, the Gu family's ancestral land was struck by disaster. My father, mother, and sisters fled to the Northern Frontier. Leveraging my mother's influence as the Immortal Lord of Yaochi, they quickly established themselves in the Northern Frontier and prospered rapidly. In just twelve years, they became famous again."

"But reputation aside, the Gu family's current sphere of influence is still relatively small, so my father decided to send people to various places to expand our territory and increase our family's influence."

"My cousin volunteered to go to the farthest southern wilderness to develop my Gu family. It was really hard work."

Gu Chen looked at Gu Mowang and said:

"When my cousin returns from the Southern Wilds, I will report to my father and reward him handsomely."

Gu Mowang stood up immediately after hearing this:

"Thank you, young master."

…

Snow Flame Peak.

Gu Zhi woke up naturally from his sleep.

He got out of bed and heard some noise outside, so he pushed the door open and went out.

In the snowstorm, Ye Qinghan was seen dancing with the blood-thirsty spear.

He is already practicing martial arts.

After noticing Gu Zhi, Ye Qinghan stopped and thrust the Blood-killing Spear into the snow, looking very heroic:

"Xiao Zhi, come on, I'll take you to kill someone!"
