"Yan Yan——"
Mrs. Shuiyue wanted to knock on the door.
But she didn't dare. Bai Yanyan had changed during the time she was away. If she made her unhappy again, she might really kick her out.
Madam Shuiyue thought it over again and again before leaving.
-
"Gu Ming, what happened yesterday?"
In the main hall of the Gu family, the head of the Gu family, Gu Changtian, was sitting at the top, and Gu Ming was standing below him.
Gu Ming disappeared after the competition yesterday. He sent people to look for him, but they found Gu Ming unconscious.
Who on earth dared to attack someone from the Gu family? !
The head of the Gu family immediately ordered people to search but they couldn't find the man. It was not until Gu Ming woke up in the morning that the head of the Gu family called him over and wanted to ask him what happened yesterday.
"Master, it was me who brought shame to the Gu family yesterday."
Gu Ming lowered his head and said unwillingly: "If I hadn't been careless, I could have competed with the Situ family."
In the past few years, the Situ family has always been in first place, the Gu family has always been in second place, the Hua family is third, and the Bai family is at the bottom. However, because of his miscalculation yesterday, because he was not on guard against Bai Yanyan, the Gu family was ranked third.
It's all his fault.
Patriarch Gu frowned and was about to speak.
A cold voice came first.
"Careless? It's obvious that you lack strength."
Under the sunlight, the man in white walked in. His handsome face was covered with a rare coldness. His cold eyes fell on Gu Ming and he said coldly: "Yesterday I said you -
If you don't look for the problem within yourself, you will only make excuses. I didn't expect you to still think this way today."
After seeing the man, Gu Ming shuddered.
But then he thought, this is the Gu family, and the head of the family is still here!
Although his family's head is not as good as the Bai family's head, he is also in the early fifth rank! He ranks third in Qingyou Country!
"The head of the family is him!"
Gu Ming pointed at him and accused him, "He was the one who knocked me unconscious yesterday, and he..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw his patriarch stand up and walk towards the man with trembling legs.
"Yes, is that you?"
Although the head of his family is in his twilight years, he is still in good spirits and can kill a cow in one blow. But now, this man with trembling legs, shaking three times with every step, and almost shaking off the old wrinkles on his face, is he really the head of his family?
Gu Ming was completely dumbfounded.
"Um."
Gu Yunzhou nodded slightly, his cold gaze falling on Gu Ming, "Your grandson?"
"no!"
"How can this brat be my grandson? He is from another family!"
Patriarch Gu immediately clarified, and then his face was filled with excitement, "You finally came out of seclusion? Did you have a breakthrough?"
Gu Yunzhou's eyes fell on Gu Ming. The head of the Gu family immediately understood and asked someone to take him out. He respectfully invited Gu Yunzhou to the study, and then his legs shook as he was about to kneel down.
But he was stopped by Gu Yunzhou's eyes.
"Xiaotian, what gift do you think we should give the girl?"
Gujiazhuang: ???
He is the ancestor of the Gu family, the real ancestor!
He has lived for hundreds of years and is extremely powerful. Even the talismans used by the Gu family were created by him.
It's just that the ancestor is a person with an indifferent personality. He has no interest in anything except cultivation. Thinking back to the past... when he first took the position of the head of the family, he personally watched the ancestor go into seclusion to practice. He didn't expect that the ancestor would come out after so many years.
Actually - asking him what gift to give the girl?
"What... girl is this?"
Could it be the great-grandmother of their Gu family?
Seeing that he didn't answer, the head of the Gu family immediately realized that he had been rude, and he changed the subject, "Giving a girl a gift must be particular, and the gifts for each festival are different. If it's a birthday gift, it has to be more particular."
"I got drunk and slept with a girl last night."
"Then you have to be responsible!"
"She should be married back!"
Gu Yunzhou:?
"Apart from parents, the only people who would sleep in the same bed with this strange man and woman are married couples!"
The head of the Gu family was excited, thinking back to when his father passed away and held his hand and said that his biggest regret in his life was that he could not see his ancestor get married and start a family.
He had thought that this would be a regret for him.
I didn’t expect that the ancestor slept with a girl after coming out of seclusion!
"Whose family is this girl? I'll arrange for someone to go to her house and ask for her hand in marriage!"
Gu Yunzhou: ...
Shouldn't he have asked?
"Don't tell anyone my identity—"
After giving his instructions, Gu Yunzhou turned and left. The head of the Gu family quickly chased after him, "Grandfather, this girl's innocence is the most important thing. You must be responsible for her! You'd better marry her as soon as possible!"
——
After the aristocratic family competition.
The Bai family became noisy.
Many people came to visit, especially the elders from the two major sects, the Spiritual Cultivation Sect and the Beast Taming Sect, as well as people from some other small forces. Their purpose was to get Bai Yanyan to join their sect.
Bai Yanyan was not interested at all and even felt a little annoyed.
She stayed in the yard, lighting a fire and preparing the ointment, but in her heart she was thinking about her good seedling.
If a good seedling doesn't come, she doesn't have a fire-controlling talisman, and it's too troublesome to light the fire herself! !
So, when Bai Yanyan saw Gu Yunzhou suddenly appear in the yard like a god, her eyes lit up and she rushed out immediately.
"Sorry about the other night."
Gu Yunzhou raised his hand, a purple spirit stone resting in his palm. "This is a ninth-grade spirit stone. The spiritual energy contained within is enough for you to ascend to the fourth grade—"
Before she finished speaking, the girl smiled brightly, "My beauty, you came at the right time. I just needed you!"
Two days ago, she discovered that Senior Brother Ye was missing, so she asked Si Fei to go find Senior Brother Ye and bring him back.
But two days have passed and they haven't returned, and she doesn't trust anyone else in the mansion.
Gu Yunzhou:?
"I really, really need you!"
Bai Yanyan was so excited that tears almost came out of her eyes. She grabbed the man's hand and ran directly to the kitchen. Then she picked up a few pieces of firewood and stuffed them into his arms, looking at him expectantly:
"You're so good-looking, you must be really good at making fire!"
