Chapter 23: Testing



The methods of the cultivators were mysterious and unpredictable. Even he did not dare to say that he fully understood them, especially as an insider. However, he knew that Gu Yao's uncle was probably a Jindan cultivator. Even if he was seriously injured and could not be healed, it was not something that the ancestors of the Gu family could deal with.

The face of the head of the Gu family darkened. He thought everything was under control. Who would have thought that an accident would happen to Gu Yao now? He also misjudged the boy named Chi Changye. He did not pay much attention to such a person that night. Afterwards, he learned that when Chi Changye was picked up, his body was horribly injured. Who would have thought that after his injuries healed, he turned out to be a handsome man, and might even be a cultivator with strong strength.

"Dad, I'm not saying that the second and eldest brothers are not doing things right. Gu Yao is a member of the Gu family no matter what, the second brother's biological son and the eldest brother's biological nephew. Even if Gu Yao is not qualified, can't our Gu family afford to raise such a person?" So why bother to do things to this extent? Even when he is outside, he often hears people talking about the Gu family's dishonest behavior. "If you really don't like Gu Yao, at least give him a small farm to let him stay outside. Second brother is too indulgent to the twins. Even the people of the Fang family dare not take the people of the Gu family seriously."

The head of the Gu family glanced at the third brother lightly. It was a small matter to seek justice for Gu Yao, but it was really to put pressure on the second and eldest brothers: "This matter is not worth doing. Find someone to find out their background first. It is not appropriate for our Gu family to come forward in this matter. Let the people of the Lu family do it."

"Yes, Dad, I will tell the Lu family the news." Gu Lao San understood Lao Tzu's spirit and let the Lu family be the vanguard of the Gu family.

After Gu Lao San left, the face of the head of the Gu family immediately became gloomy. He looked at his hands. The alchemy technique had not made any progress for many years. If the medicine was really made by Gu Yao, then the method of removing impurities in his hand might be of great use to him. What the third brother said was not unreasonable. Maybe the Feng family brothers and sisters had kept a backup plan. He already knew what kind of life Gu Yao and Chi Changye spent on the Tian family's territory before the third brother came to report.

The head of the Gu family couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the twins of the second son. Don't think he didn't know that the reason why the second son was so troubled with him was because of those two little bastards behind the scenes. The second son, who always listened to him, refused to give in this time.

"Damn it! Is the damn Feng Yinhua dead or not?" This is why he didn't dare to do it. He was afraid that Feng Yinhua was still alive. After all, it was possible for a cultivator to be in seclusion for 10 to 20 years. Sure

enough, not long after, the Lu family got the "confirmed" news that the talismans sold by the Tian family were all made by Chi Changye, the man that Gu Yao married. Chi Changye was not only a cultivator, but also a talented talisman master. Maybe it wouldn't take long for him to make intermediate talismans. No matter how you look at it, the talismans he made are of better quality than those of the Lu family.

"Is this news true? What is the Gu family doing? The Tian family is also ambitious. It seems that they have been dissatisfied with our Lu and Gu families for a long time. They don't think that if it weren't for our two families' agreement, their Tian family could have a firm foothold in Yuanyang Town?" The head of the Lu family was very unhappy with the Tian family's behavior. In his opinion, the Tian family was ungrateful and actually snatched the Lu family's talisman business behind the scenes.

The tacit understanding reached by the three families was that the Lu family never interfered in the sale of elixirs. Of course, it was another matter in secret, at least it would not be put on the table, but the Tian family's behavior destroyed the tacit understanding between the three families.

"Dad, what should we do?"

"Find someone to investigate the two guys. Just don't kill them." The head of the Lu family sneered. They couldn't do anything to the Tian family for the time being, but could the Lu family not do anything to those two little bastards? Even if they were on the Tian family's territory, so what? Could the Tian family go to war with the Lu family just because of those two little bastards?

"Okay, Dad, I'll arrange for someone to go."

***

Chi Changye reminded Gu Yao while they were having dinner: "Try not to go out these few days. If you want to go out, call me with you. I feel like we are being watched here."

Gu Yao sighed and said, "I feel it too. Is it because of the medicine and the talisman? I have to say that Yuanyang Town is too small. Those two families are not broad-minded. I don't think they can make the family flourish."

"Probably." Chi Changye couldn't imagine any other reason why he and Gu Yao were targeted. He had no enemies here, and no one knew his identity. "Xiao Yao, you are right. After all, they don't want anyone to shake their status and divide their cultivation resources."

Even if they rely on the Tian family, it is not a long-term solution. The Tian family may have the same idea, but the Tian family is currently facing the joint suppression of the Gulu family, so they will seek external assistance.

Gu Yao bit his chopsticks and said, "If it really doesn't work, ask Tian Feirong if the Tian family has any caravans leaving here recently, and we can leave here."

The problem is that it's a bit risky. It's still a long way to reach the next cultivation city. All kinds of monsters and dangerous places along the way are the biggest threats to cultivators. He wants to take advantage of the Ascension Conference in a few months and leave with the big team. If there is really no way to stay, he can only take a risk.
