Chapter 422: The Mystery of Life

As soon as everyone saw it, they knew that the announcement would be made at the last minute. It was really nerve-wracking. Everyone was praying in their hearts that they would not run into a tough opponent!

After ten minutes, everyone had drawn their number cards and they would soon know who their opponents would be!

"Gu Xiaoheng No. 21, Gu Xingzhi No. 1, Gu Xizhao No. 18, Gu Jin No. 3, Gu Yu No. 8, Gu Dong..."

"Tang Wanluo No. 9, Tang Huaixu No. 12, Tang..."

"Su Lingxiao No. 7, Su Moqing No. 8..."

"Zhang Jingqiu No. 4, Zhang Fan No. 9, Zhang Qiang No. 1, Zhang Ling..."

"Xi Jingxuan No. 6..."

"Yunzhongtian No. 7..."

“Jiang Tian…”

“Meng…”

"Luo..."

Ten minutes later, everyone knew who their next opponent would be. Some were happy, while others were wailing. It can only be said that drawing lots really depends on luck.

"Oh my god, I'm facing Gu Xizhao right at the start. This is so scary!"

"It's over, it's over. I was going to be eliminated in the first round. How come I ran into that pervert?"

"Gu Yu is a good opponent. I hope he won't let me down!"

"Meng Guannan, it's terrible, there is no hope now!"

"Tsk, I'm really jealous of Luo Feng. He got a bye in the first round. His luck is too good!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder how confident I am in Meng Yunye's hands!"

"Guan Xing, I'm in the same group with you. No need to compete. I'll just admit defeat!"

Meng Guanhuai had a tearful face. Who could have thought that their luck was so bad that they were assigned to the same group? For the next competition, he would definitely give up.

After all, Guan Xing is much stronger than him, so he should save his strength for the next game!

There are many disciples in families like this who are fighting against each other, but there is no doubt that the weaker ones will give up. If this is the case, three out of the twenty-six duels will be given up directly. After all, there will definitely be people among the same disciples who will give up!

After the draw, people left the arena one after another, waiting for tomorrow's competition. The competition started one group at a time, and the second group would start after the first group finished.

By analogy, if the difference in strength is too great, the match may end in less than half an hour, but if the strength is equal, it may even last three hours.

The melee is over, and the one-on-one duel will not begin until tomorrow, which gives them a chance to prepare.

As soon as Gu Jinfeng returned, he was told that the ancestor was looking for him, and he was puzzled!

Gu Jinfeng didn't know what the old ancestor wanted to tell him, but he could sense that the old ancestor was unhappy at the moment.

"What do you think of Meng Guannan?"

Gu Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, then he said, "It is said that Meng Guannan is a rare genius that is rarely seen in a thousand years, but he has already established a foundation at such a young age..."

"I didn't ask you to say that!"

Gu Xiangyang frowned.

Gu Jinfeng asked cautiously, "What do you want to ask?"

Who knew that after saying this, the ancestor would glare at him, a look that was as cold as the abyss of ice, extremely terrifying!

"Gu Jinfeng, have you forgotten?"

Gu Jinfeng was dumbfounded. What on earth was the ancestor saying? Why couldn't he understand? He always felt that there was something else the ancestor said today!

"Grandmaster, I don't understand what you mean!"

He felt that he was wronged.

Gu Xiangyang snorted coldly, "Gu Guangbai, you won't forget it, will you?"

The moment he heard the name, a dark light flashed in Gu Jinfeng's eyes.

He had long forgotten about the rebellious son who was driven out of the house by him. What did the ancestor want to say when he mentioned Gu Guangbai at this time? Could it be that the rebellious son has come back?

"Please forgive me, Grandmaster. That rebellious son Gu Guangbai was expelled from the Gu family by our disciples thirty years ago. He is no longer a disciple of our Gu family!"

"What did you say?"

Gu Xiangyang was so angry this time that he slapped Gu Jinfeng and threw him out.

Cough cough cough!

"Grandmaster, please calm down. It is my fault that I did not teach him well!"

Seeing him like this, Gu Xiangyang became even angrier. The words of the old monster from the Su family suddenly rang in his ears, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What happened back then? Why did you expel Tianjiao from the Gu family? If you don't have a reasonable reason, you don't deserve to be the head of the Gu family!"

Gu Jinfeng shuddered with fear, he knew that the ancestor was really angry!

But he was very confused. How did the ancestor know about Gu Guangbai, and why did he suddenly ask about Meng Guannan? Is there any relationship between the two?

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and tell me!"

"yes!"

Gu Jinfeng didn't dare to delay any longer, for he was afraid that the ancestor would slap him again the next moment, which would be fatal!

"Thirty-five years ago, Guangbai went out to gain experience. When he came back, he said he wanted to marry an ordinary girl. At that time, the clan had already chosen a future wife for him. How could he change her at will, especially an ordinary woman? The clan disagreed, but Guangbai insisted on his own way and even threatened to sever ties with the clan!"

Thinking about what happened at that time, Gu Jinfeng felt hatred. That was his youngest son, the pride of the Gu family!

How could he remain indifferent when he heard that his son wanted to break off relations with the family for a woman? He was so angry that he beat him up and locked him up in the family's restricted area for half a month. For a full half a month, the rebellious son refused to eat or drink.

Since ancient times, fathers have never been able to persuade their children. In the end, he compromised, but before compromising, he still wanted to fight for it.

So he proposed that as long as the rebellious son voluntarily gave up his own cultivation and was not allowed to practice the family's martial arts in the future, only then would he be allowed to leave. Who knows, who knows!!

"So you abolished his cultivation and expelled him from the Gu family?"

Gu Xiangyang looked at him with a look of disappointment. The Gu family's unrivaled talent was wasted just like that, and it was his own father who did it. Is this something a human being could do?

There was a flash of sadness in Gu Jinfeng's eyes. How could he not be heartbroken? However, this was the clan rule of the Gu family. Even if he was the head of the family, he could not bend the law for personal gain!

"Why didn't you investigate the identity of that woman before making a hasty decision?"

"How do you know that woman's status is not worthy of Guangbai? You are simply an asshole!"

Gu Xiangyang was so angry that he could hardly speak.

"That rebellious son protected that woman very well. We couldn't find any information about her at all!"

Gu Xiangyang sneered. It was not that they could not find the information, but that the woman herself was not an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiangyang felt extremely heartbroken. The Gu family not only lost one extraordinary talent, but they lost two!

Although the old monster from the Su family was just guessing, he was not speaking nonsense without evidence. The bastard Gu Jinfeng actually didn't know about it.

"Do you know the identity of that woman?"

Gu Jinfeng choked, shook his head, and then looked at the ancestor cautiously.
