Tianlin Continent, Yuanyang Town.
As one of the three major cultivation families in the town, the Gu family was particularly lively today, because today was the 70th birthday of Gu Wenhai, the head of the Gu family. The other two cultivation families in the same city, the Tian family and the Lu family, were present to congratulate.
Although the three families compete with each other, in order to prevent other forces from developing and diluting the cultivation resources of the three families, they also cooperate with each other. From generation to generation, the three families have been intermarrying. For example, Gu Yao, the grandson of the head of the Gu family, and Lu Minzhu of the Lu family have been engaged since childhood.
However, the people in Yuanyang Town who have no spiritual roots all know that this marriage will be ruined sooner or later. Why? It's because although Gu Yao has the title of legitimate grandson, his biological mother died early. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, which is common even in the world of cultivators. In addition, Gu Yao's spiritual roots are four, which are only slightly better than five. As a result, he is not valued at all in the Gu family, and his life is worse than that of the children of the side branches. How can he be worthy of the beautiful young lady of the Lu family? If Gu Yao had known better, he should have taken the initiative to go to the house and cancel this marriage.
The Gu family was crowded with guests. The three sons of the head of the Gu family, a dozen grandchildren and outstanding children from the side branches were all entertaining the guests who came to celebrate the birthday. The oldest brother, Gu Zhixiao, pulled the second oldest brother, Gu Zhiming, aside and asked with a sullen face: "It's the old man's 70th birthday. All the descendants of the Gu family are here, except for your son Gu Yao. Where has he gone? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Don't you see what day it is today!"
Gu Zhiming was the least qualified of the three brothers. He had the eldest son who was valued and cultivated by the old man, and the younger brother who was sweet-mouthed and could make the old man happy. He was the one in the middle, neither up to the top nor down to the bottom, so he could only pin his hopes on his own children. And his son Gu Yao was simply his shame, a person with four spiritual roots! Being born in a cultivation family like theirs is not much better than ordinary people, no different from useless people, so they usually keep away from them, so how can they think about such a life.
"Who knows where this little evildoer has gone, big brother, wait, I'll ask someone to look for him!" In this situation, if Gu Yao didn't show up, Gu Yao would be criticized, and he, as a father, couldn't escape, so he had to be patient and prepare to ask someone to look for him.
"Dad, you greet the guests, I'll take people to ask big brother to come over." Gu Chen, the second son of Gu Zhiming, volunteered, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
"Then Chen'er, go and come back sooner rather than later. If your elder brother could be half as capable as you, then your father wouldn't have to worry." Gu Zhiming's favorite son was this one. At least he saved some face for him. At the age of thirteen, he had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. His current wife gave birth to twins for him not long after she got married. Although Xing'er's cultivation was weak, she was born to be worldly-wise at a young age. She will surely marry a good man in the future and help her brother. His branch will surely prosper.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will persuade my elder brother and tell him to worry less. Uncle, I'll go down first." Gu Chen bowed and left the hall.
There is a secluded courtyard in the northwest corner of the Gu family. Compared with the lively scene in front, there is no one here, and it seems very deserted. But suddenly, a dozen boys and girls, escorted by servants, came here and drove straight in.
Gu Chen walked out and ordered his followers: "Go and knock on the door and call Gu Yao out!"
"It smells wrong here." Tian Feirong from the Tian family sniffed his nose and smelled a hint of fragrance. This smell is very familiar to him who often goes in and out of brothels. A hint of interest flashed in his eyes. Interesting!
As soon as he finished speaking, the follower who kicked the door in ran out, shouting, shaking his fingers and saying: "Young Master Yao, he, he, he..."
The follower's embarrassed expression made Tian Feirong and others more eager to explore. What are they waiting for? So they all rushed into the room with Gu Chen, and saw a man lifting the quilt to wrap himself up. People who walked fast could see two naked bodies with scars on their bodies. In addition, the smell that permeated the room made even the most ignorant people know that there was a fierce exercise going on in the room before they came.
It seems that the young master of the Gu family, Gu Yao, was suppressed by an unknown person!
"Ah——" Gu Yao's fiancée Lu Minzhu screamed, "Gu Yao, I didn't expect you to be such a person! Break off the engagement! I must break off the engagement with you! Let's go! Staying here will pollute our eyes!"
Lu Minzhu's brother Lu Minbai gritted his teeth and said, "My little sister is right. We in the Lu family can't afford such things that pollute our eyes! Gu Yao, I tell you, from today on, my little sister will break off all ties with you!"
All the people in the Lu family withdrew first, while the people in the Tian family were still watching this good show with great interest. They were all from a big family, and in fact, everyone knew the inside story. They watched a good show for free, and it was unexpectedly arranged at the Gu family's birthday banquet.
Gu Yao was furious! If he could, he would have thrown out a tube of poison and poisoned everyone in the room. Who could have thought that he would face such an embarrassing scene when he woke up, and it was clearly a setup! This made him extremely angry!
"Get out! Get out!" Gu Yao's voice was hoarse.
"Gu Yao, you are so shameless! Do you know what day it is today?" Gu Chen righteously rebuked.
"Haha, what day? Second brother, you really took great pains to make such a scene on such a day. How much face do I, Gu Yao, have left? How much face will the Gu family lose? You should ask my good second brother! Get out!" Gu Yao tore his face and shouted.
"It's you, Gu Yao, who made our Gu family lose face. You are the culprit who harmed the Gu family. Humph, this time Sister Minzhu wants to cancel the engagement. Let's see how you will explain to father and grandfather! Second brother, let's go!" Gu Xing said with disdain.
Tian Feirong was the last one to leave. Before leaving, he sniffed and whispered, "It turned out to be the drunk beauty of Wenxianglou. That's not cheap." Finally, he looked at Gu Yao jokingly and followed him out.
Tian Feiyang was waiting for his second brother outside. Seeing him walk out with three staggers in his steps, he whispered, "Hurry up, just watch the show, and don't get involved in the affairs of the Gu family."
No matter whether it was Gu Lao Da or Gu Lao Er, these two were not good people. Gu Lao Er was heartless and everyone in Yuanyang City knew that Gu Yao's mother died because of Gu Lao Er, but not long after the former's death, the new wife was welcomed into the family, and they allowed the Gu family to ruin the child left by the previous wife. Tian Feiyang was very disgusted with Gu Lao Er.
"It's the intoxicating beauty in Wenxiang Tower," Tian Feirong said with a smile, waving a fan, "It's specially used for men's love affairs. Such a small bottle costs one thousand and two taels of silver. I don't know what kind of beauty can make Gu Yao willing to spend so much money to use this thing on himself."
He reminded Gu Yao before leaving. It depends on what he will do. Gu Yao used to be very gentle, but the look just now made him scared.
"You are very knowledgeable about these things," Tian Feiyang glared at his second brother unhappily, "In my opinion, the eldest and second branches of the Gu family have joined forces on this matter, but the people of the eldest branch are smart. They didn't even have such an occasion, and let the people of the second branch rush in. Stupid!"
"Brother, I know that Gu Yan has been secretly in contact with Lu Minzhu for a long time. Maybe she is pregnant, right?" Tian Feirong covered his mouth with a fan and whispered.
"Misfortune comes from the mouth!" Tian Feiyang scolded. Although he did not deny this statement, he always felt that this matter was not so simple. The Gu family took great pains to plot against Gu Yao, just to ruin Gu Yao's reputation and cancel the engagement smoothly? I don't know what there is in Gu Yao that is worth the Gu family's conspiracy.
