Gu Chen's mind was a little foggy, and he saw that the corner of his eldest brother Gu Yang's mouth was bleeding, his face was gray, and he was staring at the young man who hurt him with hatred.

"Hehe, concede, it's already the fourteenth, so as long as you defeat the last of your fighters, you can complete the 'Covenant of Twilight'." The burly young man smiled and said mockingly: "Actually, you don't have to look at me like this, good birds are perched on trees, of course the Gao family in Zhongzhou is not comparable to your Gu family, and it is understandable that Miss Ding chose me Gao Zhaolong." ”

"You don't even have this bearing, no wonder your Gu family has been ...... for two hundred years None of them are in the stream. ”

Gu Chen only felt that his head was buzzing and exploded!

Twilight Appointment! Zhongzhou Gaojia!

He finally understood what was going on in the Gu family's backyard.

In the post-apocalyptic era of scarce resources, there are too many values and morals that have been subverted, and the Covenant of Twilight is one of them.

In the eighty-fifth year of the empire, Song Ning, the third son of the Song family, forcibly broke into the Zhao family at dusk, defeated fifteen masters of the Zhao family in a row, and snatched the fiancée of the son of the Zhao family at that time in full view.

In the next five years, Song Ning killed 226 young descendants of the Zhao family with his strong ability, leaving only the Zhao family and sons, forcing the Zhao family to announce its withdrawal from the current "battle for kings". And Song Ning had no suspense and was crowned in that "battle for kings", becoming the first emperor with a surname other than Zhao.

Since then, the Twilight Covenant has become an ancient oath of the Empire, and any member of the family can swear an oath to the man's family with the consent of the woman. As long as you defeat fifteen masters of the same generation on the other side, it means that this marriage contract is legally invalid!

In the Zhongcheng Mansion, except for the Wei family, any other family came to launch the "Dusk Covenant" to the Gu family, and the Gu family was not afraid. However, this time the visitor was not from the Northland, but from Zhongzhou, the Gao family in Zhongzhou.

There were many Gao families in the empire, but there was only one Gao family in Zhongzhou, and perhaps none of the rest of the Gao families dared to call themselves Gao family in front of them.

Eighty years ago, the height of the Gao family's heyday and darkest era, Gao Chengming was appointed as emperor for two consecutive terms and ruled the empire for 30 years. At that time, the Qin family in central China rose and expanded rapidly, and in just ten years, it already had the strength to threaten the founding of the Seven Great Families. Finally, in the year 415 of the empire, a war broke out between the Qin family and the founding seven families.

The seven families worked together to encircle and suppress the Qin family, and Qin Rutie, who was the head of the Qin family at the time, brazenly used the survival of the Qin family as a bargaining chip and gambled heavily - the Qin family completely ignored the attacks of the other six families, and concentrated all their forces to attack the Gao family.

Under the attack of the six families, the Qin family was certainly in danger, but the Gao family also paid a heavy price.

Three years later, Qin Rutie won the gamble and rewrote the history of the empire.

Under the fierce attack of the Qin family at any cost, the Gao family has reached the point of extermination! Gao Chengming was forced to sign an agreement with the Qin family, and the Gao family announced that they would withdraw from the ranks of the Seven Founding Masters and be "voluntarily" replaced by the Qin family. The Six Families had no reason to attack the Qin family, and the war ended in the Empire in 418, making the Gao family the first family in history to step down from the throne before their term of office expired.

Since then, the founding of the seven families has no longer had the word "founding", and has gradually been called ...... Seven families.

Now the Qin family has become the largest force in the empire, serving on the throne for three consecutive terms, and has ruled the empire for forty-eight years! And the Gao family never returned to the ranks of the Seven Families.

However, this does not mean that the Gao family has declined since then, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. They may no longer be able to compete with the Seven Families, but under the Seven Families, the Gao family is definitely high, and no family dares to challenge their authority!

How could a mere Northland Gu family be compared to such a nobleman who stood at the top level in the entire empire?

In the face of Gao Zhaolong's ridicule, everyone in the Gu family could only be silent...... Because what Gao Zhaolong said is indeed the truth, it is impossible to refute it at all.

"This Gao Duhuan behind me is the orthodox grandson of the head of the Gao family." Gao Zhaolong raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "He is fifteen this year, and he has passed the certification of a middle-level demon pattern master. And I'm honored that my cousin has promised to appoint me as his royal guard, which means...... Miss Ding will get far more than you Gu family and the Ding family can give her by choosing me. ”

"Now, do you want to fight the last fighter? No kidding, this twilight appointment was at the beginning...... It just doesn't make sense. Compared to us, you ...... Too mean. ”

The faces of everyone in the Gu family were ugly, and their eyes were all focused on Gao Duhuan behind Gao Zhaolong without exception, and in addition to the anger, they were full of shock and shock.

And Gao Duhuan's face was still indifferent, looking at the many burning gazes like dung, as if the gods never cared about the gaze of all living beings.

He is the grandson of Gao Chengming.

He is still a fifteen-year-old mid-level magic pattern master.

He is destined to be the pride of heaven that will shake the entire empire.

If the crystal guard implanted with the dust crystal is the strongest weapon for the founding of the empire, then the magic pattern master who constructs the dust crystal is the cornerstone of the empire that has stood for five hundred years without falling. Each Demon Pattern Master means a steady stream of Crystal Guards, but the harsh conditions for becoming a Demon Pattern Master are not even one-tenth of the Crystal Guards, which makes even the lowest-level Demon Pattern Apprentice the focus of contention among the various forces.

The path of the Demon Pattern is more thorny than that of the Crystal Guard, and in the composition of the entire empire, the Demon Pattern apprentices account for sixty percent, which means that only forty percent of the Demon Pattern Masters can advance to the beginner Demon Pattern Master!

And Gao Duhuan became a middle-level demon pattern master at the age of fifteen, such a talent, even if he is not a child of the Gao family, is dazzling enough, even those so-called geniuses can only be eclipsed by his side.

Gu Yang's face was uncertain, and Gao Zhaolong's contemptuous words stabbed him and the entire Gu family's self-esteem, and the Gu family actually had no way out. But if you give up the "Covenant of Dusk" like this, then in the future, the Gu family may not be able to raise their heads in the entire Northland!

He was silent for a long time, then suddenly glanced at Gu Chen, and said astringently: "Gu Chen...... You can represent our Gu family. ”

For a while, the audience was silent!

The people of the Gu family all looked at Gu Yang in shock, and then looked at Gu Chen in unison, and even the two brothers of the Gao family looked over in surprise.

Under the focus of his gaze, Gu Chen's small face was full of confusion, and then his face turned as pale as paper: "Me? ”

Gu Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he said firmly: "It's you." ”

Gu Chen was silent, everyone knew that he was an eleven-year-old kid who couldn't be Gao Zhaolong's opponent at all, but Gu Chen somewhat understood the intentions of some of his eldest brother Gu Yang.

The Gu family can only fight with Gao Zhaolong's second brother Gu Xuan, but Gu Xuan is the hope of the entire family in the future, and he is Ding Keqing's fiancé.

So Gu Yang could only let Gu Chen fight.

Therefore, Gu Chen can only fight.

It's just that...... Although he has been educating the belief of family first since he was a child, Gu Chen still felt sad at this moment.

He is the third youngest of the Gu family, but for the eldest brother Gu Yang, he is just a victim who can be discarded at any time.

Gu Chen smiled bitterly, and his gaze gradually became firm.

He walked up to Gao Zhaolong and said, "I'm here to challenge you!" ”

"Third brother, step aside." Just when he was ready to fight, the second brother's warm and peaceful voice suddenly came from behind him: "Big brother, I'm here to fight." ”

Gu Yang's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Second brother, I am the acting head of the family, and you are not allowed to fight!" ”

"Big brother, this matter started because of me, and naturally it must be ended by me." Gu Xuan was born with a Sven face, although he did not have a clear outline like Gu Chen, he had a pair of neutral and peaceful eyes: "What's more, the third brother is young, let him fight on behalf of the Gu family, he will definitely lose, and it will only make the Gu family laugh at the Gu family even more." ”

"Second brother......" Gu Chen's heart warmed, his eyes looked at Gu Xuan, and he saw that he was still smiling at himself with the same gentle smile as before.

At this time, the saddest thing is ...... Obviously it should be him, right?

Before Gu Yang could speak, Gu Xuan had already stepped forward, patted Gu Chen's shoulder, and said softly, "You go down." ”

Gu Yang still didn't speak, and he acquiesced without speaking.

Although the second brother is peaceful, once the decision is made, even the eldest brother cannot veto him.

The tip of Gu Chen's nose was slightly sour, he looked up at Gu Xuan, and said solemnly: "Second brother, you must win!" I watch you win! ”

Gu Xuan smiled noncommittally, and when he turned his head to look at Gao Zhaolong, his body was straight, his eyes were sharp, and he said slowly: "The second son of the Gu family, Gu Xuan, I want to have a good time with Your Excellency!" ”

Fight hard.

After all, his heart was still full of anger and hatred.
