Hearing Gu Ting's words, the Gu family head's eyes flashed and he asked, "Who is that friend you mentioned? He actually helped you complete this family mission?"
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, that friend is someone I met when we first entered the desert. His realm isn't very high, but he's very powerful. He can fight against opponents of higher levels. And I can honestly tell my father that he was the one who challenged Mu Tianxing and injured him."
The head of the Gu family looked at Gu Ting, surprisingly without any excitement. He simply said calmly, "I see. I guessed it. I didn't know it was you and the boy who went to the Mu family with you. So, it seems that he must be quite good. Otherwise, how could he fight against a higher level and even injure Mu Tianxing, a fourth-level spirit master at the same level?"
Gu Ting said, "Yes, he is indeed very good. Moreover, he is much younger than Mu Tianxing. Although he is only a ninth-level spiritual master, he should have no problem dealing with a spiritual master."
The head of the Gu family raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't he say that he was only a seventh-level spiritual master when he competed with Mu Tianxing? How long has it been since he successfully advanced to a ninth-level spiritual master?"
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. He broke through two levels some time ago, so now his strength is the same as mine, a ninth-level spiritual master."
The Gu family leader said, "In that case, his cultivation talent is quite good. Otherwise, breaking through two levels in a row would cause his spiritual energy to become deficient. But I think he is a smart boy and would not do such a thing. Overall, it seems that he should be considered a genius in cultivation."
Gu Ting replied, "That's true. His cultivation talent is definitely much stronger than mine. And the Level 4 Spirit Master he introduced to me earlier is also a friend he just met. He then introduced him to me and asked her to work under me."
"A fourth-level spiritual master who is a physical cultivator. While this isn't the first time I've heard of one, it's also rare to see one. This is what surprised me. How did he even know such a physical cultivator? Furthermore, physical cultivators require a lot of spiritual herbs and materials for their cultivation. If he were to work under you, you'd definitely have to provide him with spiritual herbs and other cultivation resources. You have to consider this carefully. A physical cultivator consumes at least half as many resources as a spiritual cultivator. Are you sure you want him to work under you?"
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, he was introduced to me by Gu Yuan, and he is a friend that Gu Yuan just met. Although they just met, I don't think Gu Yuan would cheat me, and the person he introduced should be considered acceptable. His strength is that of a fourth-level spiritual master, but he had already cultivated to the fourth-level spiritual master realm without relying on any spiritual medicine. If he had the corresponding spiritual medicine as support, I think his realm would definitely be able to improve faster. What's more, I need people to help me now. I don't have as many people as other young people. If I don't recruit them, I don't have very high-end combat power, which will undoubtedly put me at a greater disadvantage. Therefore, in order to solve the current dilemma, Gu Yuan's introduction to me has solved a big problem for me. Although it consumes more spiritual medicine resources, it's not a problem. I will find a way."
"Ting'er, you're still young, and you might not have considered some things thoroughly. But let me remind you that that person is someone the Gu Yuan you mentioned just met. As for the question of trust, you should give it some thought and see if he's trustworthy. If it's that kid Gu Yuan, I think he's trustworthy, but if it's that guy, you'd better be careful. Don't waste your resources and then find that person is gone. That would be a loss for you."
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Don't worry, Father. I'm not a six-year-old child anymore. I will naturally take these things into consideration. If he works under me, I will naturally treat him well to keep him. If I really can't keep him, I will take appropriate measures."
"Ting'er, I see you've really grown up. I'm glad you can think of this, but I still want to remind you. During this period, try to have as little contact with that kid called Gu Yuan as possible. It's not that I forbid you from interacting with him, but given the current incident, if the Mu family knew that you were still in contact with him, they would come to my house and I wouldn't be able to say anything. After all, you are currently their daughter-in-law in name only. It's not my place to interfere in these matters."
Gu Ting scratched her head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Actually, what I want to tell you is that Gu Yuan has already settled down in our Gu family. I arranged for him to stay in the backyard. It was said that the Mu family had been tracking him closely recently, so I arranged for him to stay in the backyard for a while and not let him go out, so that he can practice here in peace."
The head of the Gu family frowned, smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect you to move so quickly? Since you arranged for him to come here, then let it be. You can't invite someone to your home and then kick him out. Since that's the case, then I won't say anything. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. During this period of time, he must not leave the Gu family. He must move within the Gu family's backyard. If the Mu family finds out, our Gu family will definitely be rude to us. After all, we are in the wrong. If that happens, I really can't say anything, so you have to make sure he doesn't get discovered by the Mu family."
Gu Ting nodded. "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll tell him when we get back that he should stay in the backyard of our Gu family and practice. Don't worry, Gu Yuan is a man who can endure loneliness. He will never go out easily and cause trouble for our Gu family. Just tell him and he will do as I say. Don't worry about that. He practiced alone in the desert for nearly two months without anyone accompanying him. In such a harsh environment, he was able to persist for two months, let alone in an environment like our Gu family."
The head of the Gu family raised an eyebrow and said, "This kid is quite patient. He seems to be a determined guy. If that's the case, go back and tell him not to leave our Gu family and practice well."
