His father was a Peerless Martial Saint, his mother was the Immortal Lord of Jade Pond, his eldest sister was a genius Sword Immortal, his second sister was a master of alchemy, and his third siste...
Gu family.
"Did you find it?"
Gu Kuange sat upright in the upper seat and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the Patriarch, we haven't found any trace of the Fourth Young Master yet."
A middle-aged man in a black robe was half-kneeling on the ground.
His name was Chen Xianzhi. He was Gu Kuange's subordinate and the one who brought Gu Zhi back to the Gu family two and a half months ago.
At that time, the news of Gu Zhi reached the Gu family. Gu Kuange, Chu Yunxi, Gu Qingshuang, Gu Qingxue and Gu Qingyue were busy preparing for Gu Chen's birthday, so they only sent Chen Xianzhi to bring Gu Zhi back.
Chen Xianzhi still felt very sympathetic towards Gu Zhi.
After wandering outside for twelve years, he finally returned to the Gu family, but was despised by Gu Kuange and ignored by Chu Yunxi. Gu Qingshuang and the others were even more disgusted with Gu Zhi.
Those people from the Gu family branch also mocked Gu Zhi openly or secretly.
The two and a half months that Gu Zhi spent at the Gu family were probably more miserable than the twelve years he spent wandering outside.
Chen Xianzhi saw it all, but could do nothing. After all, he was just a subordinate of Gu Kuange. His cultivation was not deep enough, his power was not great enough, and his status was not high enough.
"waste!"
Gu Kuange slapped Chen Xianzhi in the face:
"It's been so long, and we still haven't found that beast. Do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
"If that beast joins the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect and offers my Gu family's profound techniques and secret arts to them, it will be a devastating blow to my Gu family!"
The five finger marks on Chen Xianzhi's face were red, but he was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.
"Get down there and keep looking!"
"We must eliminate that beast as soon as possible. We cannot let him reveal my Gu family's secret techniques and profound arts to the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect."
Gu Kuange scolded coldly.
Chen Xianzhi knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to say:
"Master, I have something to say."
Gu Kuange looked impatient:
"What? Say it!"
Chen Xianzhi lowered his head and said:
"The Fourth Young Master... he can't possibly offer the Gu family's profound techniques and secret arts to the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect."
Gu Kuange's brows were raised:
"That beast dared to kill his father, what else can't he do?"
Feeling Gu Kuange's strong pressure, Chen Xianzhi's body trembled unconsciously, but he still wanted to say something for Gu Zhi:
"Master, the Fourth Young Master... he has never read any of the Gu family's mysterious techniques or secret arts."
"The Fourth Young Master has never even been to the Gu family's library, so how could he possibly pass on the Gu family's skills and techniques to the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The Gu family hall suddenly fell silent.
Gu Kuange's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Xianzhi in disbelief:
"You...what did you say?"
"That beast...Gu Zhi...has been back home for two and a half months and hasn't even been to the Gu family library. How is that possible?"
Chen Xianzhi said:
"A few days ago, I happened to see the Fourth Young Master practicing. I discovered that he was still practicing the 'Hundred Herbs Immortal Cultivation Technique'. I asked him why he didn't practice the Gu family's mysterious method, and he said... said..."
Gu Kuange pressed on, “What did he say?”
Chen Xianzhi said, "The fourth young master said that you, the head of the family, didn't say that he could enter the Gu family's library."
Upon hearing this, Gu Kuange was struck by lightning.
Chu Yunxi couldn't sit still any longer: "Gu Kuange, what's going on?"
"Madam, it's like this," Gu Kuange explained, "When Gu Zhi came back, he brought a stray dog with him, and he had an argument with Chen'er over it. So I punished him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and not allow him to go anywhere."
"I originally thought that after he finished his closed-door reflection, I would take him to the library and personally select a technique for him, but then..."
"You forgot about this later, right?" Chu Yunxi asked with red eyes.
Gu Kuange sighed, "I didn't expect him to be so stupid. He's the fourth young master of the Gu family. If he wants to enter the Gu family's Sutra Library, shouldn't he be able to do so easily?"
Chu Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears. "Gu Kuange, do you treat Gu Zhi as your son? If you don't treat him as your son, how can he dare to call himself the fourth young master of the Gu family? You told him not to go anywhere, how can he dare to enter the Gu family's Sutra Library so casually?"
Gu Kuange immediately argued: "Madam, what are you talking about? Why don't I treat him as my son?"
Chu Yunxi accused with tears in her eyes: "If you treat Gu Zhi as your son, how could you call for his death at every turn?"
Gu Kuange felt aggrieved: "Madam, I shouted at Gu Zhi to kill him because he made a big mistake!"
Chu Yunxi cried even harder: "Have you checked? You didn't even check, and you said Gu Zhi made a big mistake?"
Gu Kuange was stunned: "Madam, didn't you also feel that..."
Chu Yunxi burst into tears: "I was busy teaching Chen'er to practice, how could I know about Gu Zhi's affairs? I thought you would investigate impartially, so I believed you. But after Gu Zhi was taken away by Ye Qinghan, I realized that you actually convicted Gu Zhi without even investigating!"
Chu Yunxi's eyes were red: "Gu Kuange, you are such a failed father!"
Gu Kuange's old face flushed red, he could no longer endure it:
"Chu Yunxi, what you said is not right, right?"
"You love Gu Zhi so much, why don't you care about him? I never saw you love Gu Zhi that much before, but now I heard that Gu Zhi has been back for more than two months and is still practicing the lowest level of the 'Hundred Herbs Immortal Cultivation Technique'. You feel embarrassed and think that if this gets out, you will be criticized, so you keep blaming me?"
"What do you mean by saying I always yell at Gu Zhi to kill him? Didn't your sword energy just now also cover Gu Zhi? Do you treat Gu Zhi as your son?"
Chu Yunxi's beautiful eyes widened. She never expected that Gu Kuange could say such words.
