Chapter 25: Meeting the Elders

Lin Yue's eyes flashed when she saw this, lowered her eyes to hide the viciousness inside, took Gu Linglong into her arms and comforted: "Don't worry, since my mother can cure her mother, she will definitely be able to cure her." I don't believe that she went to the Royal Academy, so she didn't bring two personal maids. ”

"Mother, what do you mean......" Gu Linglong's eyes lit up and looked at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue'e looked at her with pity, but her words were completely opposite to her eyes: "If she continues to stay in the Gu family, I may still have some scruples and can't let go of my hands and feet." When she leaves the umbrella of the Gu family, are you afraid that she won't have a chance to clean her up?"

Hearing this, the haze in Gu Linglong's heart was swept away, and she happily threw herself into Lin Yue's arms to be coquettish.

With the news that Gu Lingzhi was going to study at the Royal Academy, that afternoon, some people who usually had a good relationship with Gu Lingzhi came to visit under various pretexts. I look forward to Gu Lingzhi becoming an alchemist in the future, and I can take care of them more.

Gu Ling's heart knew what these people were thinking, so he accepted all the gifts they brought.

Anyway, if she wants to have a say in the Gu family in the future, she must gather some Gu family members, and these sent to the door can be used.

Among the people who came to the door to win over the relationship, Gu Hansheng was the most generous. Looking at the pile of alchemy materials in the storage ring, Gu Lingzhi knew that Gu Hansheng had invested a lot of money to entrap her this time.

"The eldest lady will not be able to come back for at least a few months, the Royal Academy is not as far as the Gu family, although it is not far away, but it is not so convenient after all, the things in this are a little bit of my heart, and I hope the eldest lady will accept it." ”

Gu Hansheng didn't let his son come forward this time, but came in person. Being able to be personally invited by the third prince has already affirmed the value of Gu Lingzhi, this kind of future is almost a potential stock that is not destined to be mediocre, how can Gu Hansheng, the person in charge of the Gu family's financial power, miss it?

"Yes, you go to such a far place at once, and you have to go for so long, how can you do it without bringing more things with you, just take these things that my father gave you. ”

Afraid that Gu Lingzhi would be too expensive to accept it, Gu Chengze on the side hurriedly persuaded him, and even Gu Ruoxun persuaded him on the side. Gu Lingzhi hadn't planned to be polite to them in the first place, but he was really embarrassed this time. His eyes subconsciously fell on his storage ring. There were a few medicine bottles in it containing the spirit shaping pills she had already refined for the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family, as well as some elixirs.

Originally, she planned to give them to earn some favors before leaving. But Gu Hansheng is so sincere, but these things are not easy to come up with.

She wants revenge, but she is not a person who has no grudges. Gu Hansheng's family never harmed her in her previous life, and she has been very helpful in this life, although there are indispensable entanglements of interests, but this kindness has benefited her a lot.

Seemingly...... You can't just take advantage of each other like you used to.

The concern in the eyes of Gu Chengze and Gu Ruoxun does not seem to be fake. Maybe at the beginning, the other party really came with a purpose, but after this period of getting along, they really treated her as a friend.

Thinking of this, Gu Lingzhi smiled faintly: "Since this is the case, I will accept these things." ”

Gu Lingzhi didn't take the opportunity to make any empty promises, but decided in her heart that after her refining level was raised, she would refine some elixirs of better quality and give them to them.

Gu Hansheng saw her accept it and smiled with satisfaction.

"There are still a lot of things to deal with in the accounting room, so I will go back first, and when the eldest lady comes back in the future, I will talk about the old days. ”

After Gu Hansheng said this, he left Gu Chengze and Gu Ruoxun and the two siblings to leave by themselves.

Before leaving, he glanced at the pile of gifts placed in the corner of the living room and smiled faintly.

How could these people who came to stammer after seeing Gu Lingzhi's gain of power compare to the importance of him reaching out when Gu Lingzhi was still weak?

After Gu Hansheng left, Gu Chengze and Gu Ruoxun immediately took Gu Lingzhi's hand and told him, reminding Gu Lingzhi not to be stupid, he couldn't be bullied as easily as he was at home.

Gu Lingzhi just nodded and chuckled when he heard this, it seems that in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters, the image of his soft bun is really profound.

Early the next morning, not long after Gu Lingzhi got up, he saw Cuilian come in with a happy face and said, "Miss, the elder wants to see you." ”

"Great Elder?" Gu Ling was taken aback, guessing that the Great Elder, who had never been in charge of the affairs of the clan, must have heard the news that he was going to the Royal Academy. Unexpectedly, the fact that he was going to study at the Royal Academy would even alarm the Great Elder.

As one of the four major families, the Gu family naturally did not rely on the pressure of a patriarch like Gu Rong. It's the elders who have long since retreated from the family to the background.

In fact, the real ruler of a family with a little bit of heritage will not be the patriarch. The patriarch is just the helmsman of a family on the surface, otherwise Gu Hansheng would not dare to argue with Gu Rong. Behind him, there is also the support of the elders.

Thinking about the real power entanglement of the Gu family in his heart, he followed the subordinates who came to lead the way and walked to the depths of the Gu family.

The elder of the Gu family who had retreated from the bright side lived in a row of courtyards behind the ancestral hall, and at this moment, the subordinate who led the way was walking towards an attic behind the ancestral hall with Gu Lingzhi.

Gu Lingzhi knew that this was the council where the elders discussed their business.

Before entering the hall, Gu Lingzhi felt several eyes full of scrutiny fall on him. Knowing that it was a few elders who were observing him, Gu Lingzhi adjusted his state slightly, but the slight adjustment of his eyes and facial expressions changed from the weak and deceitful image he had always maintained to a calm and indifferent image.

If you want to get the attention of the Council of Elders, you can't just pretend to be pure like you do in the face of Gu Rong, these human spirits who have lived for an unknown number of years will not pay more attention to a person who seems to be empty and talented but weak and incompetent.

Sure enough, walking through the front porch into the hall, Gu Lingzhi looked at the few people sitting in the hall without humility or arrogance, and was blessed.

"Lingzhi has seen several elders. ”

The words were clear and steady, and he was not in the slightest surprised by the coercion deliberately unleashed by a few elders.

This son is good, but it can be edified.

Several elders exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were all satisfied.

Originally, they knew that Gu Lingzhi's talent would be able to refine the elixir by awakening the spiritual root, but they didn't care much about it. Because Gu Lingzhi's cowardly image in the past was almost engraved in their hearts, I don't think that even if Gu Lingzhi awakened a good talent, what kind of achievements could he have?

But it was completely different for the third prince to personally invite Gu Lingzhi to study at the Royal Academy.
