Gu Yuan smiled. He just said it casually. In this case, it seems that the Gu family of Gumo City does not have that much power.
What Gu Yuan didn't quite understand was that, according to what Zhang Liu had said, the Gu family wasn't weak, so why were the people around the young lady so weak? It seemed the housekeeper wasn't even at the level of a Spirit Master, was he? Wasn't he afraid something might happen to his young lady?
"What level of power is this Gu family?" Gu Yuan approached Zhang Liu, and the two of them communicated quietly.
Zhang Liu scratched his head and said, "I see that you seem to be very interested in the Gu family. I have to remind you not to be so curious. After all, these things are not something we can inquire about!"
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just asking. I don't know much about the Gu family in Gumo City, so I want to learn more about it. I'll be careful in the future to avoid provoking people I shouldn't!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Oh! So that's how it is!" Zhang Liu nodded. He could understand it now.
Gu Yuan also nodded and said, "Do you know much about this Gu family?"
Zhang Liu scratched his head awkwardly, then shook his head and said, "Um... Actually, I don't know much about them. My understanding of them is limited to hearsay, but there is one thing I do know."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Hehe, it's nothing, actually. I just know that the internal competition within the Gu family is actually very fierce. Look, this time the young lady of the Gu family came out to explore the desert in person. Although they were doing it in the name of collecting herbs, they weren't actually there. This has become a well-known fact."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yuan asked.
Zhang Liu chuckled and whispered, "The reason is simple. Competition within the Gu family is fierce. The family is divided into several factions, so the competition among the younger generation within each faction is even more intense than that among the older generation. After all, no matter how much the older generation fights, they only talk and, at most, fight in secret. They know when to stop and at least won't tear each other apart. But the younger generation is different. Because of the factional struggles, they are willing to kill each other, and this young lady from the Gu family is one of the participants. Although she is a woman, she is no less powerful than the men in her family. Moreover, the Gu family clearly supports the struggles between the younger generation and will not provide them with any help. No matter what, they have to rely on themselves to fight for everything, competing fairly based on their own abilities! This is also the reason why there are no strong people around Gu Ting. Because their family tacitly allows the younger generation to fight, and will not allow those with higher cultivation to participate. Otherwise, it would not be a struggle between the younger generation!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you seem to know a lot about the Gu family's affairs?" Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Liu beside him. For the first time, he felt that this guy seemed a little unusual?
"Um...it's nothing. These news are no secrets to outsiders, so it's not surprising for me to know it." Zhang Liu said.
"Oh, is that so?"
Gu Yuan touched his nose, then looked at Gu Ting who was sitting by the campfire not far away.
Gu Ting has a pretty face, especially the white spot under her neck, which is particularly eye-catching, but Gu Yuan has no interest in it at all.
What interested him even more was the purpose of her visit.
"If it's just about gathering herbs, it's fine. But from what Zhang Liu just said, it seems like it's more than just gathering herbs."
Gu Yuan thought about what Zhang Liu had just said and couldn't help but frown.
I hope there won’t be too many unexpected things happening on this trip, otherwise, it will be dangerous again!
In the darkness, Gu Ting, who was practicing with her eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened her eyes and looked directly into another pair of eyes in the darkness.
Gu Ting couldn't help but frown.
Gu Yuan was a little embarrassed. He never expected that Gu Ting had noticed his gaze, and he actually looked into her eyes. This was really embarrassing!
Gu Yuan suppressed the panic in his heart, then smiled calmly at Gu Ting, then lowered his head to avoid Gu Ting who was staring at him.
Gu Ting's eyes were filled with thoughts. She turned to the butler beside her and asked in a low voice, "What's that guy's name?"
The housekeeper followed Gu Ting's gaze and said, "This person is called Yuan Hao, a sixth-level spiritual master."
"Sixth-level spiritual master? What's the specific identity information?" Gu Ting asked.
"The details are unknown. There is very little registration information on the Desert Exploration Association. There is only one record that he just completed his first Black Iron-level mission two days ago." said the butler.
"So this person is still a newbie? This is only the second mission he has taken?" Gu Ting said.
The butler nodded, "Yes!"
"That's really interesting. Most people choose simpler tasks and basically don't move with the team. But he actually accepted the task from our Gu family. Doesn't he know that our Gu family's tasks have always been difficult?" Gu Ting said with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
"Maybe it's because you're a newbie that you dare to take our mission!"
The housekeeper smiled and said that here, except for Gu Yuan, he could see that those people were all veterans, both in their expressions and in their words.
Only Yuan Hao remained silent throughout the journey, unlike those old hands who kept chattering along the way.
