Northern Frontier.

Gu family.

Command the other courtyard.

Chen Xianzhi paced back and forth, feeling torn between his conscience and his desires.

He thought countless times that he should stop investigating the matter of Gu Zhi colluding with the demons to harm his fellow tribesmen.

Gu Zhi is just a young master who is not valued.

Gu Zhi's parents didn't care about this matter and didn't investigate it personally.

Chen Xianzhi and Gu Zhi had only met a few times, and he had no obligation to help Gu Zhi find out the truth.

And news came from the Southern Wilderness that Gu Zhi killed Gu Minghui and thousands of people from the Gu family, and he killed thousands of people from the Gu family using the methods of the Demon City.

This seemed to have confirmed that Gu Zhi had colluded with the demons to harm his own people, so there was no need for Chen Xianzhi to investigate the matter any further.

It's a done deal, why bother investigating?

Everyone in the Gu family has already determined that it was Gu Zhi who colluded with the demons to harm his own people.

Why would he, an outsider whose surname is not Gu, go and investigate?

Not only that, Gu Kuange also handed over the matter entirely to the young patriarch Gu Chen.

He could then legitimately stop asking about the matter.

Why should he go to the trouble of investigating this matter?

but.

He still went to check.

And found out the truth!

The one who used demonic means to harm the Gu family members was not Gu Zhi, but Gu Mowang!

It’s not Gu Mowang’s subordinates, but Gu Mowang himself!

Gu Mowang is the second master of the Gu family.

Even though Gu Kuange took away a lot of his power, his status in the Gu family remained transcendent.

The Gu family members who were killed were just illegitimate children of the Gu family's side branches and had low status.

Those members of the Gu family had no grudge against the Second Master Gu Mowang, and it was even difficult for them to see Gu Mowang. Why did Gu Mowang want to kill them?

Even if we take a step back and say that those members of the Gu family really offended Gu Mowang accidentally, then given Gu Mowang's identity and status, he should have sent his men to assassinate them. How could he do it himself?

Not only did Gu Mowang take action personally, he also deliberately used demonic means to frame the deaths of those members of the Gu family on the demonic monks.

Then, Gu Chen said that the deaths of those Gu family members might be related to Gu Zhi, because after Gu Zhi came back, those Gu family members had ridiculed Gu Zhi and had conflicts with him.

Gu Chen did not say explicitly that it was Gu Zhi who colluded with the demons to harm his fellow tribesmen, but the meaning was already very clear.

In addition, in the past few years, Gu Mowang and Gu Chen have become very close.

Well, the answer is obvious.

It was Gu Chen who asked Gu Mowang to kill those members of the Gu family!

The purpose is to frame Gu Zhi!

Even the reason why those members of the Gu family laughed at Gu Zhi and had conflicts with Gu Zhi might have been the work of Gu Chen!

Chen Xianzhi was secretly frightened.

Gu Chen is only eleven years old this year.

He usually looks noble and kind, gentle and elegant, and as young as jade.

But unexpectedly, his heart is more poisonous than snakes and scorpions!

Designed to frame his own brother!

"Colluding with the demons to harm his own people, it was Gu Chen who framed Young Master Gu Zhi, so..."

"Master Gu Zhi stole the Third Miss's bellyband, peeped at the Second Miss taking a bath, and stole the Eldest Miss's flying sword..."

"Is it Gu Chen who is framing Young Master Gu Zhi?"

Chen Xianzhi thought it was very likely!

He didn't think Gu Zhi would do such a dirty and despicable thing.

Would a person who has been back to the Gu family for more than two months and has not been allowed to enter the Sutra Library, and has been honestly practicing the "Hundred Herbs Cultivation Technique", a common martial art, do such a vulgar and obscene thing?

Chen Xianzhi didn't believe it.

Before, Chen Xianzhi didn’t believe it.

Now, Chen Xianzhi is even less convinced.

When Chen Xianzhi was sent to pick up Gu Zhi and bring him home.

Gu Zhi was in tatters and his face was covered in dirt, but his eyes were the only thing that was sparkling.

Gu Zhi's eyes were flashing with nervousness, anticipation, excitement, and all the desire for a better life in the future.

Chen Xianzhi was very surprised at the time. He thought Gu Zhi would cry, complain, and say how difficult the past twelve years had been.

But Gu Zhi didn't. When he brought Gu Zhi home, the things Gu Zhi said most were asking him how his parents were doing, how his sister was doing, and whether she was safe.

Chen Xianzhi felt distressed by this kind of Gu Zhi.

But after Gu Zhi returned to the Gu family, Gu Kuange despised him, Chu Yunxi ignored him, Gu Qingshuang and the others hated him so much that even their maids mocked him.

Not long after that, news spread that Gu Zhi had stolen Gu Qingshuang's flying sword, peeped at Gu Qingxue taking a bath, and stolen Gu Qingyue's bellyband.

For a time, the entire Gu family regarded Gu Zhi as ashamed.

Perhaps Chen Xianzhi was the only one who believed that Gu Zhi did not do such a thing.

But Chen Xianzhi's trust was useless.

Although Chen Xianzhi was the commander of the guards, he was just an outsider in the Gu family.

So at that time Chen Xianzhi just comforted Gu Zhi and did not think about investigating the truth.

Thinking about it now, Chen Xianzhi feels very regretful.

He should have checked it out!

He should help Gu Zhi!

Even if his voice is insignificant, he should speak up for Gu Zhi.

If he had not been so cowardly before, if he had been braver and helped Gu Zhi, perhaps Gu Zhi would not have really fallen into the evil path today.

Chen Xianzhi felt full of guilt towards Gu Zhi.

So after a struggle between heaven and man.

Chen Xianzhi decided to tell the truth he had discovered!

"Brother Chen, where are you going?"

Wang Chiyuan had just finished his patrol when he ran into Chen Xianzhi as he was leaving the courtyard. Seeing Chen Xianzhi's solemn expression, he immediately guessed something and pushed Chen Xianzhi back to the courtyard.

"Brother Chen, are you going to go find the Patriarch and tell him about Young Master Gu Zhi?"
