"I said, can you let go?"
A faint voice sounded, and Yan Yue quickly let go of the hand holding Gu Yuan, her face slightly red as she said, "Thank you."
"Gu Yuan, thank you so much!"
Yan Mu walked up, his face showing some excitement that he couldn't hide. The Great Elder had just come to tell him that the previous proposal to eliminate the four veins would be cancelled, and the four veins' seats as elders in the main family would be restored.
Gu Yuan said with a smile: "Master Yan, you don't have to be polite. This is what Gu Yuan should do."
Yan Mu sighed, "I was worried about you before, but I didn't expect you to show such strength. I am really ashamed!"
Compared with young people like Yan Lei, it turns out that no one can be his match even in the main family.
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "It was just luck."
Yan Mu nodded secretly. He was victorious but not proud, and he was not complacent even when he was in the spotlight. This kind of character was very calm and rarely seen in young people.
Suddenly, Yan Mu took a step to the side, revealing the old man behind him. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is the head elder of the main family, Elder Yan Qiu."
Gu Yuan looked closely and saw that it was the referee on the martial arts stage during the competition.
"Hello, Great Elder!"
Gu Yuan bowed slightly towards Yan Qiu and saluted.
The elder had a kind face, stroked his beard and nodded, saying: "Fourth-level spiritualist, young friend, please give me your cultivation."
Gu Yuan was slightly surprised. He had already restrained his aura very tightly, but he didn't expect that the Great Elder could see his true cultivation level at a glance.
"Haha, don't be nervous. It's just that my skills are special and I'm more sensitive to the aura of spiritual practitioners." The elder laughed and said.
"I see." Gu Yuan nodded.
"Young man, do you have time? My clan leader wants to see you."
"oh?"
Gu Yuan was stunned, then he looked at Yan Mu, somewhat confused as to why Yan Zhen wanted to see him.
Yan Mu said anxiously, "Great Elder, why does the clan leader want to see Gu Yuan? Gu Yuan is from one of my four branches. If he wants to take advantage of Gu Yuan, he has to step over my dead body first!"
The Great Elder shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. Don't you even trust me?"
Yan Mu shook his head. The Great Elder had always been very friendly to the Four Clans and had even secretly helped them when they were in trouble. Naturally, he trusted the Great Elder.
The person he didn't trust was Yan Zhen. After all, this patriarch who suppressed his family branches everywhere was a jackal without showing his fangs.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, little friend Gu Yuan will be fine. The clan leader probably wants to see him for other matters. It's not too late to talk about it after we meet. I just don't know if little friend Gu Yuan is willing to do so?" The great elder turned to look at Gu Yuan and asked.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Since the Great Elder has said so, I will follow the Elder to visit Patriarch Yan."
Yan Mu was anxious and said, "Gu Yuan, be careful!"
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Patriarch Yan, don't worry."
The Great Elder also laughed and said, "Alright Yan Mu, your four branches have really made a name for themselves this time. You've even taken away the number one spot that has been held in the main family for many years. You four branches can take 50% of the resources this time. I say so!"
"One hundred... fifty percent?"
Yan Mu was shocked, and Yan Yue and others were also completely shocked.
"Alas, you've suffered so much over the years. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to take so much. The extra money can be considered as compensation from the main family. Also... I hope you won't blame the clan leader anymore. As the clan leader, he had no choice but to do what happened back then. In order to protect the Yan family..."
Yan Mu's emotions suddenly became excited, "Okay, Great Elder, no more words!"
"well!"
With a sigh, the Great Elder said, "Go and collect the resources that belong to you. The people in the family still need resources for their cultivation. Don't be hard on yourself."
"Young friend Gu Yuan, let's go." The elder said to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan glanced at Yan Mu and said, "Master Yan, you should go back first. This matter is over. I will get up and leave after I visit the head of the Yan clan."
"Aren't you going back to the Yan family?" Yan Yue ran up hurriedly and asked.
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "I have other things to deal with, so I won't go back with you."
Looking around, Gu Yuan leaned close to Yan Yue's ear and said with a hint of joking: "But don't forget the conditions you promised me before."
A layer of pink rose on Yan Yue's cheeks, and she said shyly, "I have never forgotten."
"Forehead……"
This time it was Gu Yuan's turn to be stunned. He quickly coughed and explained, "I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously!"
Then he turned around and pulled the Great Elder away, looking a little flustered.
She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her eyes slightly sad, "Is this just a joke?"
"Yue'er, Gu Yuan is not an ordinary person. This world cannot accommodate him..."
Understanding the meaning of his father's words, Yan Yue nodded slightly.
…
As the Great Elder walked in the courtyard of the Yan Mansion, Gu Yuan looked at the maids coming and going with great interest, and only then did he feel a hint of the atmosphere that a family should have.
"Xiaoyou should be just Xiaoyue's friend and not a so-called live-in son-in-law, right?"
As they walked, the Great Elder suddenly asked.
Gu Yuan smiled awkwardly but did not answer. After all, if he admitted it, it would be equivalent to admitting that he had violated the rules of the Yan family competition.
"Even without you saying it, I can guess. How could a genius with such strength at this age be interested in the daughter of a small family?"
