"Hmph, I won't have the slightest nostalgia for that cold and ruthless family!" Xia Yan'er said with a cold snort.

"What the hell is going on, can you tell me?" Gu Chen asked Xia Yan'er.

Xia Yan'er said after a deep groan: "My father is the head of the Xia family in Linzhou, but my mother is not his main family. His wife has always been very mean to me and my mother, and she is always harsh at me. ”

"My mother was a gentle person and never cared about her, but she became more and more aggressive, not only not allowing my mother to see my father, but also letting my mother live with ordinary maids. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't awaken Suzaku's memory, and although I was very angry about it, I couldn't help her, so I could only make some little tricks to anger her. ”

"One day I sneaked into her room while she was away and burned some of her clothes and jewelry. When she returned, she partly blamed the matter on my mother, and although I came forward and admitted that I had done it, she deliberately did not punish me and poured all her anger on my mother. Beat my mother to the point that her skin was ripped open and her blood was dripping with blood. I cried and went to my father to ask him to save my mother, but he was unmoved, but scolded me, saying that I shouldn't make my mother angry like this, and my mother was punished because of me. ”

"I was only five years old, and how much was the value of those clothes and jewelry? Is it important to have a human life? My mother was left with a sick illness because she did not receive timely medical treatment, and she died when I was nine years old. ”

"I remember that day, except for me, no one in the Xia family left a single tear, and my father was even more disdainful. ”

"Since then, I have become less and less obtrusive, and the people of the Xia family have almost forgotten my existence. ”

"It wasn't until I was twelve years old that my father and other uncles suddenly became kind to me again, I thought they were found out by conscience, and later I learned that they planned to marry me into the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion as a tool for marriage!"

"I don't want to be this kind of puppet who has been manipulated by others for a lifetime, so I began to cultivate hard, and when I was fifteen years old, I finally achieved a little success and reached the first realm of the earth, my father and others were even more pleased with this, so they invited Li Chengfeng, the young master of Wanjian Pavilion, to come to the Xia family as a guest, Li Chengfeng's lewd thief looked at me as soon as he saw me, and I was very disgusted with it. In order to avoid becoming the plaything of such people, I began to plan an escape. ”

"I made very thorough preparations, coupled with the favor of the heavens, so that I succeeded in one attempt! But when I fled to Tianai City, I was caught up by the master of the family, fortunately, I also met you, the sect leader, brother!"

"Brother Sect Master, you saved me!"

After hearing this, Gu Chen was immediately angry, there is such a father in the world?

He doesn't cherish his own woman, treats his daughter as a marriage tool, disdains it when it's useless, and pleases him in every way when he can use it, this kind of person is really unworthy of being a person!

Originally, Gu Chen also wanted to mediate the relationship between Xia Yan'er and her father, but at this time, Gu Chen completely dispelled this thought, if Xia Kui, the head of the Xia family, appeared in front of him at this time, he would definitely slap him a few times.

"Hmph, this kind of family, this kind of father, don't do it!" Gu Chen said angrily.

"Well, I think the same way, I don't want to go back!" Xia Yan'er nodded and said.

Gu Chen comforted Xia Yan'er: "Don't worry, Yan'er, you are not alone, I and your three sisters-in-law are all your relatives!

"Thank you, Brother Sect Master!" Xia Yan'er hugged Gu Chen tightly and said with a happy expression.

Gu Chen also gently hugged Xia Yan'er, without the slightest evil thought in his heart, he really loved Xia Yan'er as his sister.

"Silly sister, why do you need to be polite to your brother?" Gu Chen said dotingly rubbing Xia Yan'er's little head.

Xia Yan'er rubbed in Gu Chen's arms with a look of enjoyment, like a child who didn't grow up.

In other words, Xia Yan'er is indeed like a child.

She was just fifteen years old when Gu Chen met her, and now that fourteen years have passed, she is already twenty-nine years old.

But she is still like a little girl, both on the outside and on the inside.

He looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old, and his behavior is even more immature.

However, once she became serious, she had a good appearance, and over the years, the Vermilion Bird Hall had developed very rapidly in her hands, no less than when Tang Qingwu was the hall master of the Vermilion Bird Palace.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Pantheism, the House of Councils.

Gu Chen and Murong Zijing sat on top.

Below, except for the three major helmsmen of the Pantheon Sect, almost all the other high-level leaders were present.

Gu Chen saw that everyone had arrived, so he said loudly: "Now, it has been less than two months since the opening of the Xutian Secret Realm, and the candidates who will participate in this secret realm with this seat will also be decided today." ”

When everyone heard this, they all sat upright and waited for the following.

"Before, this seat said that the candidate should be decided by strength, but later, after careful consideration and following the advice of the Sword Immortal, this seat decided to let people who have momentum and strength participate in this trip to the secret realm! Therefore, Elder Chen Qiong and Elder Chu Sheng can only be wronged this time!" Gu Chen said to Chen Qiong and Chu Sheng.

Chen Qiong and Chu Sheng immediately understood that the sect leader had directly canceled their qualifications, but they didn't care, because even if they fought for them, they might not be able to fight.

Gu Chen, Hei Wu, and Shen Yan had already been able to determine that Tang Qingwu and Xia Yan'er had also reached the early stage of the third realm of the Heavenly Order.

Even if Chen Qiong and Chu Shengxiu were slightly higher than Tang Qingwu and Xia Yan'er, the chances of winning against the two of them were not great.

After all, Tang Qingwu and Xia Yan'er's law phase is one grade higher than Chen Qiong and Chu Sheng, and the two of them are young, and their physical strength is definitely much stronger than their two old guys, so there is no need to humiliate themselves at all.

"The sect leader is serious, the two of us have no opinion on this, after all, even if we follow the original rules, we are hopeless!" Chen Qiong and Chu Sheng hurriedly got up and said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded, and then said: "This time, in addition to this seat, the other four people are, the left envoy Hei Wu, the right envoy Shen Yan, the head of the Heavenly Divine Guard, Tang Qingwu, and the White Tiger Hall Hall Master Thirteen!"

"Gu Thirteen?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and there was a doubt in their hearts, how could the sect leader not choose Xia Yan'er from the third realm of the Heavenly Rank, but instead choose Gu Thirteen from the peak of the second realm of the Heavenly Rank?

Gu Shisan himself didn't expect it, because the sect leader hadn't mentioned it to him before.

Gu Chen pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The Summer Hall Lord of the Vermilion Bird Hall himself asked to give up this trip to the secret realm, so this seat chose Gu Thirteen among the other three hall masters!"

"Gu Thirteen has practiced hard, done his best, and has never made the slightest mistake since he took office, this seat has given him this opportunity, do you have any objections?" Gu Chen spoke again and asked everyone.

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, Gu Shisan's performance was indeed remarkable, since Xia Yan'er gave up, it was reasonable to give him this place.

But Sikong Bei and Wen Xinliu are also qualified to compete with him.

However, Wen Xin Liu Zhi is not here, and now that he has a wife and daughter, he doesn't want to do this kind of risky thing anymore.

Sikong Bei really wanted to go, because Tang Qingwu went, but he had recently had signs of a breakthrough, but he was a little unstable, in order to prevent him from going mad, Gu Chen still let him meditate at the main altar, and even if there was an accident at that time, there would be Lin Mengzhu's Pure Heart Bodhi Qu to save the scene.

Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, Gu Chen continued: "Since everyone has no opinions, then this matter is decided! The personnel who have obtained the quota are ready to leave for Zhongzhou in three days!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" Hei Wu, Shen Yan, Tang Qingwu, and Gu Shisan responded in unison.

"The meeting is over!" Gu Chen got up and said.

Everyone retreated one after another, but only Gu 13 stayed.

Seeing this, Murong Zijing said to Gu Chen: "Husband, the concubine has retired first. ”

"Well, let's go!" Gu Chen nodded and said.

Subsequently, Murong Zijing left, and only Gu Chen and Gu Thirteen were left in the main hall.

"Young master, I, will I drag my feet if I follow?" Gu Shisan said to Gu Chen with some unconfidence.

After all, except for him, the other of the five people were all masters of the third realm cultivation of the Heavenly Rank, and he always felt a little unconfident.

Gu Chen patted Gu Thirteen's shoulder and said, "Thirteen, your cultivation is already very good now, be confident, you are the hall master of our Pantheistic Sect White Tiger Palace, the master of life and death, how can you be afraid when you meet a mere secret realm?"

"No, I just don't want to be a burden to the young master!, but since the young master has said so, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I'm going to go!" Gu Shisan suddenly said with a firm face.

Gu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "That's right! Actually, you don't have to worry at all, even if you only have the cultivation of the second realm of the Heavenly Rank, but when you encounter the masters of the third realm of the Heavenly Rank of other forces, you can completely fight! The soul of the white tiger is not an ornament!"

Gu Shisan was immediately full of confidence when he heard this, the young master was right, his strength was completely comparable to that of the third realm master of the Heavenly Rank, so what was he afraid of?

"By the way, you've been in retreat a lot lately, in addition to cultivating and growing, how is the progress of your martial arts and the power of the Law Phase?" Gu Chen asked Gu Thirteen, he wanted to know how far Gu Thirteen's specific strength could go.

"Back to the young master, I have already achieved a small amount of the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique, and I have made new progress in understanding the power of the White Tiger, and I have now mastered the four divine powers!" Gu Thirteen replied respectfully.

"Oh?" Gu Chen glanced at Gu Thirteen in surprise.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique Xiaocheng is not a highlight, it should only be passable, but the four divine powers are very strong.

Gu Chen's current mastery of the supernatural powers is only "Space Confinement", "Void Hand", "Silent Divine Thunder", "Void Shadow", "Heavenly Dao Slash", "Shield to the Sky" Six kinds, among which "Space Confinement" is still the Purple Soul Stone's own supernatural powers, if it is excluded, Gu Chen only has five kinds of supernatural powers.

Gu Shisan actually mastered four kinds of supernatural powers, which showed that he had a very thorough understanding of the power of the law phase.

Among the masters of the Pantheon Sect, the understanding of the power of the law phase should also be very high.

It seems that Gu 13 has taken a completely opposite path to Shen Yan in terms of cultivation, Shen Yan is mainly based on sword skills, supplemented by the power of the law phase, while Gu 13 is mainly based on the power of the law and supplemented by sword skills.

Both have their own strengths, and almost all the major masters of the Pantheistic Sect choose these two ways of cultivation.

After all, not everyone is as perverted as Gu Chen, Gu Chen is power and martial arts are not left behind.

The mastery of the Pantheistic Sect, Gu Chen has been involved in everything except the "Six Spirit Destroying Gun".

Especially the most difficult to master, the "Great Heaven Annihilation Palm" and the "Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique".

It is often difficult for others to grasp one of them, but Gu Chen has extraordinary attainments in both.
