Northern Frontier.

Gu family.

Gu Kuange's eyes were like knives as he stared at Chen Xianzhi:

"Hasn't that rebellious son Gu Zhi been found yet?"

Chen Xianzhi knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"I have ordered a comprehensive search throughout Northern Frontier, but still haven't found any trace of the Fourth Young Master. Perhaps... he has already left Northern Frontier."

Bang!

Gu Kuange slammed the table hard. The table made of iron-sunken purple-leaf wood should have been indestructible, but now it turned into powder.

"Search! Keep searching! We must find that rebellious son and bring him back!"

Gu Kuange's terrifying aura swept across all directions like a storm.

Chen Xianzhi prostrated himself on the ground, trembling:

"As you command."

When Gu Kuange's pressure weakened a little, Chen Xianzhi said again:

"I'll take my leave."

"etc!"

Gu Kuange stood tall, with his hands behind his back, and asked in a deep voice:

"Yesterday I asked you to investigate Gu Zhi's collusion with the demons to harm his own people. How's your investigation going?"

Chen Xianzhi looked bitter:

“There are no results yet.”

Gu Kuange frowned:

"I can't find the person, and I can't figure out the matter. Chen Xianzhi, what use are you to me?"

Chen Xianzhi trembled all over and quickly apologized:

"I have failed to perform my duties properly, and I ask the master to punish me."

Gu Kuange snorted coldly:

"Continue to investigate. Find out where Gu Zhi went and whether he colluded with the demons to harm his own people. I'll give you ten days this time. If you don't come up with any results, it's time to replace you as the leader."

"Thank you for your tolerance, Patriarch. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After Chen Xianzhi left, he returned to the villa with a sad face.

"Brother Chen, is the Patriarch angry again?"

A young man named Wang Chiyuan, probably in his twenties, asked with concern.

Chen Xianzhi sighed, shook his head, and did not answer.

"The Patriarch is going too far. He only gave us one day to investigate the Fourth Young Master's whereabouts and his collusion with the Demonic Path. How could he possibly find out?"

Wang Chiyuan squatted beside Chen Xianzhi, muttering to himself.

"Be careful with your words!"

Chen Xianzhi glared at Wang Chiyuan and said in a low voice:

"I haven't found the Fourth Young Master's whereabouts, but I've actually started investigating his collusion with the Demonic Path a couple of days ago. I've already gotten some clues, but I just didn't dare tell the Patriarch."

"Huh? Why?"

Wang Chiyuan asked in confusion.

Chen Xianzhi looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before whispering in Wang Chiyuan's ear:

"I traced it back to Second Master Gu."

Wang Chiyuan took a deep breath when he heard this.

Gu Erye is Gu Kuange's younger brother. He is the second oldest, so he is called Erye.

Moreover, Mr. Gu and Gu Kuange escaped together from the catastrophe that swept through the Gu family's ancestral land twelve years ago.

Over the past twelve years, Mr. Gu has devoted himself to the reconstruction of the Gu family.

Therefore, it is easy to imagine how transcendent Mr. Gu’s status is in the Gu family.

When Chen Xianzhi was investigating the matter of collusion with the demons to harm his fellow tribesmen, he found out that it was Mr. Gu Erye. Naturally, he did not dare to investigate further, nor did he dare to tell Gu Kuange.

Even if you tell Gu Kuange about this, they are brothers and you, Chen Xianzhi, are just a foreigner. In the end, it will be Chen Xianzhi who will suffer.

"This...Second Master Gu is closest to Young Master Gu Chen. Could it be that Second Master Gu is working for Young Master Gu Chen and deliberately putting the blame on Young Master Gu Zhi?"

Wang Chiyuan's voice was trembling when he said this.

"Shh, be careful with your words, be careful with your words!" Chen Xianzhi reminded again.

Wang Chiyuan frowned, "Then...Brother Chen, what should we do if the Patriarch asks about this?"

Chen Xianzhi also looked confused and didn't know how to deal with it.

Keep investigating, because in the end it might not just be a matter of losing your position as leader, you might even lose your life.

Don't continue to check...

Are we just going to let the blame be put on the Fourth Young Master?

Chen Xianzhi actually wanted to do this.

Anyway, Gu Kuange doesn't like Gu Zhi.

He told Gu Kuange directly that even if Gu Zhi colluded with the demons to harm his own people, Gu Kuange would not doubt it.

but……

Chen Xianzhi recalled the day when he was sent to pick up Gu Zhi and take him back to Gu's house. Gu Zhi was dressed in tattered clothes, but his face was full of longing...

"What on earth should I do?"

Chen Xianzhi was in a dilemma.

…

Gu family, Wutong Garden.

This is Gu Chen's yard.

When Gu Zhi returned to the Gu family's house, there was only a small and cramped room.

Gu Chen owns the second largest yard in the Gu family.

And the yard is full of spirit-gathering sycamore trees.

It is engraved with spirit gathering array formations.

At this moment, Gu Chen was drinking tea under a sycamore tree.

What I drink is also Wudao tea.

Although it is not the Wudao tea produced by the mother plant of Wudao tea, the Wudao tea produced by this seed plant is also extremely precious.

It had been more than two months since Gu Zhi returned to the Gu family, and he had never seen a piece of such Wudao tea.

However, Gu Chen could take nine pieces of Wudao tea leaves every day to brew and drink.

"Uncle, have some tea."

Gu Chen poured a cup of enlightenment tea and handed it to the man sitting opposite him.

It was the second master of the Gu family, Gu Chen’s second uncle, Gu Mowang.

"Thank you, young master."

In the eyes of Chen Xianzhi and others, Gu Mowang, who has an extraordinary status, is extremely humble in front of Gu Chen.

"Second uncle is too polite."

Gu Chen smiled, took another sip of tea, and then asked:

"Father asked Chen Xianzhi to investigate the incident of the demonic sect killing his own people. How is it going?"

Gu Mowang replied:

"Chen Xianzhi must have found out about me, so Big Brother just summoned him for questioning. He didn't say anything. I guess he doesn't dare to say anything, nor does he dare to investigate further."
