Chapter 698: Gu Xiang's Intentions
Gu Chen then asked, "Fourth Uncle, you said that Su Ling'er swore to join the Pantheon Sect and become a core disciple?"
Gu Qinghe nodded and said, "This is indeed the case! That girl is extraordinary, at the age of nineteen, she is already a cultivator at the peak of the second realm of the earth level, and she is not far from the third realm of the earth level, I don't know how much stronger than my two unsuccessful sons!"
Gu Chen said suspiciously: "Nineteen-year-old is at the peak of the second realm of the earth level, so she has the qualifications to become a core disciple of the Pantheon Sect! But with her talent, she can join the Pantheon Sect with her strength when the Pantheon Sect recruits new people a few times before! Why didn't she make any moves before? Moreover, our Pantheon Sect generally only recruits disciples under the age of twenty, so there is no need for her to wait for the time when she is about to cross this threshold before choosing to join the Pantheon Sect, right?"
"Well, it's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she hasn't come back before!" Gu Qinghe replied.
"Oh, what does Fourth Uncle mean by this, wasn't she in the Su family before?" Gu Chen asked Gu Qinghe curiously.
Gu Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, Su Ling'er has been accepted as a disciple by a wandering cultivator since she was a child, and she followed her master to travel all over the world, and she didn't come back until a year ago, and your Pantheistic Sect didn't hold a recruitment during this year, so she waited until now!"
"Disciple of Scattered Cultivation?" Gu Chen suddenly frowned, "Fourth Uncle does he know the identity of that Scattered Cultivator?" If it is a person of unknown origin, Su Ling'er is probably not qualified to step into the door of my Pantheistic Sect!"
"Is it so strict? Is her master's identity so important? Doesn't she know the bottom of the Su family?" Gu Qinghe said in surprise.
Murong Zijing suddenly spoke: "Fourth Uncle's words are wrong! Since Su Ling'er has been living with her master since she was a child, she is afraid that she is closer to her master than to her parents, so it is particularly important to find out the details of her master! My Pantheistic Sect will never allow people of unknown origin to join!"
"Uh...... Well, I really don't know her master's information!" Gu Qinghe said hesitantly.
"It seems that you should pay attention to the upcoming recruitment conference!" Gu Chen touched his chin and said.
Murong Zijing nodded when he heard this.
Gu Jinrou suddenly interjected: "Don't care about Su Ling'er, aren't we talking about the marriage of Brother Xiang, Brother Wen and Brother Wu?"
"Oh, yes, yes!" Gu Qinghe nodded repeatedly.
"I wonder if Jinrou has a suitable candidate?" Gu Tianchuan suddenly asked Gu Jinrou.
"What kind of daughter-in-law is the second uncle looking for?" Gu Jinrou asked Gu Tianchuan with a smile.
"Nothing else matters, just look good, be gentle and virtuous! Identity and background are not important! Of course, it's best to match some! After all, my son is also a disciple of the famous refining master Master Wang Xuan, and now he is already a six-grade refining master at a young age, and his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary!" Gu Tianchuan said to Gu Jinrou.
Gu Jinrou nodded and said: "Brother Xiang is not only promising, but also a famous teacher and disciple, and there is a powerful backer of the Pantheism behind him, no matter how good a woman is, there is no one he is not worthy!"
Gu Tianchuan suddenly felt proud when he heard this, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think, did his requirements just now be set low? His son is so good, how can the other half of his life make a hasty decision?
"In my opinion, Brother Xiang doesn't need to marry those young ladies of the family! The Gu family is already very powerful now, and there is no need to consolidate its position by means of marriage! Therefore, we don't need to consider the status of a woman, but look at herself! More importantly, he likes it!" Gu Jinrou said suddenly.
Gu Sihai nodded and said, "Rou'er is reasonable!"
"Then, please ask Jinrou to find a candidate for him within the Pantheon Sect!" Gu Tianchuan said to Gu Jinrou.
Gu Jinrou glanced at Gu Xiang and said with a smile: "It's naturally no problem to help find my brother-in-law, but before that, I want to ask Brother Xiang what he thinks!"
Gu Xiang suddenly blushed a little, and didn't dare to look directly at Gu Jinrou's gaze.
"What, I'm still embarrassed?" Gu Jinrou said with a smile.
"This kid, look at your little talent, you are in your thirties, and you still have this virtue, which woman will look up to you?" Gu Tianchuan suddenly said to Gu Xiang with hatred.
Gu Jinrou hurriedly said to Gu Tianchuan: "Second uncle, don't scold him, after all, he is a reserved person, he has been in the Gu family before, and then he entered the Pantheon Sect to study the way of refining, and it is understandable that he has no time to think about the problem of these children's affections!"
"Alas, I don't have to worry about his career, but he can't delay his marriage because of his career, right? Does he want to follow his master's example and marry a wife and start a family when he is seventy or eighty?" Gu Tianchuan sighed.
Gu Xiang couldn't help but retort: "What's wrong with being like Master? If he hadn't immersed himself in the way of refining weapons, how could he have today's achievements? If he didn't have today's achievements, how could my master look down on him? My master is not only a famous beauty in Zhongzhou, but also a famous alchemy master! She has countless suitors in her life, those wealthy nobles, and she can't look down on any of the disciples of the family, but she only falls in love with my master, a refiner who doesn't understand customs!"
Gu Tianchuan suddenly blew his beard and glared angrily: "Bastard! You are a strong word! Can this be compared? Can you guarantee that your achievements can reach the level of Master Wang Xuan? Can you guarantee that you will be able to meet a woman like Dan Fairy in the future? Even if you do, she can really take a fancy to you? Let me tell you, the relationship between Master Wang Xuan and Dan Fairy is irreproducible!"
"Okay, okay, second uncle, don't be angry first, I think, I already understand Brother Xiang's thoughts!" Gu Jinrou said to Gu Tianchuan with a smile.
Gu Jinrou couldn't help but look at Gu Xiang, and saw that Gu Xiang lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Brother Xiang, do you envy the life of your master and mother?" Gu Jinrou asked Gu Xiang with a smile.
Gu Xiang nodded a little embarrassedly, and said: "One of them is an alchemist, the other is an alchemist, although their professions are different, but they have the same path, they can support each other and make progress together, their relationship is like a light breeze and drizzle, moisturizing things silently, without any impurities! This kind of relationship seems to be indifferent and boring, but it is exactly what I want! I also want to be like the master and the mother, and support each other with the beloved in a plain way, make progress together, and work together for a lifetime!"
"You say so much, I think most of it is nonsense! Only one ......" Gu Jin looked at Gu Xiang with a smile and said.
"What does Sister Rou mean, I don't understand!" Gu Xiang said to Gu Jinrou with some embarrassment.
"The person you like is an alchemist!" Gu Jinrou said to Gu Xiang with a smile.
"No, no! I don't have anyone I like!" Gu Xiang waved his hand again and again, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was deliberately covering up.
"Jinrou, is what you said true?Does this stinky boy really have someone he likes?" Gu Tianchuan suddenly asked Gu Jinrou with a look of surprise.
"I'm just guessing!" Gu Jinrou shook her head and smiled.
Gu Xiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he thought that Gu Jinrou had discovered something, but he didn't expect that she was just guessing.
"But!" Gu Jinrou suddenly changed her words and said, "I have a faint eyebrow in my heart!"
Gu Xiang suddenly became nervous again when he heard this.
Gu Jinrou propped her chin and muttered: "Nowadays, there are indeed many alchemists of the Pantheon Sect, and they are all apprentices of the Dan Fairy, but what about it, presumably ordinary women, Brother Xiang is not eye-catching! Therefore, the most likely ones are the best two! Cinnabar and Lu Qi!"
Gu Xiang swallowed his saliva suddenly, and sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
"Oh, what's so special about these two women?" Gu Tianchuan asked Gu Jinrou curiously.
Gu Jinrou said with a smile: "The two of them are the two most proud disciples of the Dan Fairy, they are young and beautiful, they have excellent talents, and they are no less talented than the Dan Fairy in the way of alchemy! They are already six-rank alchemists at a young age! They will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future! There are countless admirers in the Pantheistic Sect, and even many core disciples of the Gods and Demon Palace, and even several young Dharma Protectors of the Pantheistic Sect are fascinated by it!"
"Dharma Protector?" Gu Tianchuan's eyes widened suddenly.
"Yes, as far as I know, Qin Feng, the protector of my Blue Dragon Palace, is also extremely admired by Cinnabar, the eldest disciple of the Dan Fairy!, and the White Tiger Palace's Dharma Protector Hongyi and Xuanwu Palace's Dharma Protector Yang Xiuzhi must also have this idea!" Wen Xinliu suddenly interjected.
"Then, doesn't this stinky boy have no chance?" Gu Tianchuan couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiang and said.
Gu Xiang immediately clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "What about the Dharma Protector, I won't lose to them!"
Gu Xiang's outburst immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Chen also looked at Gu Xiang with a strange expression, but he didn't expect that his second brother really fell in love with cinnabar or Luqi!
"Oh, Brother Xiang, is this an admission?" Gu Jinrou said as she looked at Gu Xiang with a smile.
Gu Xiang just wanted to cover it up, but then he thought about it, since everyone had already noticed it, it was better to admit it generously!
"Yes, I just like Lu Qi!" Gu Xiang shouted loudly.
"It turned out to be Lu Qi's girl! Indeed, her personality is quiet and well-behaved, much gentler than cinnabar, she is a good candidate! Brother Xiang has a good eye!" Gu Jinrou nodded and said.
Gu Jinrou then asked Gu Xiang, "Have you expressed your heart to her?"
Gu Xiang shook his head dejectedly, and said with a wry smile: "Indeed, my current status is far from Yang Xiuzhi and the others, they are Dharma protectors, and they are middle and high-level sect leaders, and I am just a small six-grade refiner, I don't have the courage to confess to Lu Qi!"
Gu Chen suddenly got up, came to Gu Xiang's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You envy the love of your master and sister, but do you know that your master originally had many opportunities to get your master's approval in advance?"
Gu Xiang glanced at Gu Chen suspiciously, then shook his head.
Gu Chen said slowly: "Actually, Wang Xuan fell in love with the Dan Fairy when he was still down, but he thought that he was not worthy of the Dan Fairy, because there were many people who were better than himself who were pursuing her, and Wang Xuan didn't think that he had the slightest chance of winning!
"However, as Wang Xuan slowly became excellent, Fairy Dan was also becoming better, there were more and more suitors around her, and her status was getting higher and higher, so Wang Xuan was discouraged again and again, and never dared to express her intentions!
Gu Xiang couldn't help but interject: "What's the big deal about being able to be with your beloved for forty years!"
Gu Chen nodded and said, "It's not a big deal! But Wang Xuan doesn't know that his efforts over the years are completely a joke, because Fairy Dan also fell in love with Wang Xuan a long time ago, and fell in love with Wang Xu, who was once extremely humble and inconspicuous! But as long as Wang Xuan plucks up the courage and takes that step, they will be able to stay together naturally! You say, is it meaningful to miss forty years like this?"
