Chapter 252: The Spring of Wenxin Willow
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he wanted to enter the room.
Heart, see how long you can pretend!
Wen Xinliu hurriedly moved his body, inadvertently blocking Gu Chen's way, and said curtly: "There is some chaos in the room, since the sect leader doesn't want to go to the main hall, why don't we discuss it in the courtyard?" At this moment, the breeze is refreshing, just right." ”
Gu Chen leaned close to Wen Xinliu's ear and whispered, "Old Wen, you are not honest!
Wen Xinliu heard that sweat was raining, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the sect leader knows everything, then come in!"
After speaking, Wen Xinliu got out of the way and made a "please" gesture to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen glanced at him suspiciously, and then hesitantly stepped out.
When the two entered the room, Wen Xinliu immediately closed the door and carefully arranged a soundproof barrier.
"I said Lao Wen, you don't need to be so exaggerated, right?" Gu Chen said with a smile and a smile.
"Isn't this afraid that the wall has ears!" Wen Xinliu said with a wry smile.
Gu Chen walked to the middle of the house and swept his eyes around, but he didn't find Gu Jin's soft figure.
Then, Gu Chen looked thoughtfully at a bookshelf and shouted in that direction: "Come out! In my impression, Miss Gu is not a timid person!"
I saw a commotion behind the bookshelf, and then, a light green figure suddenly appeared, it was Gu Jinrou.
The face is not powdered, but it is beautiful and refined, with a light green long skirt, which is more demure and elegant.
"Brother Chen, oh no, it's Sect Leader Gu!" Gu Jinrou glanced at Gu Chen secretly, then lowered her head and greeted Gu Chen.
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be restrained, Sister Rou still calls me Brother Chen as usual. Gu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile.
Having said that, Gu Jinrou still couldn't let go, and the slender jade fingers of her hands unconsciously stirred together.
"Old Wen, you tell me honestly, what is the situation between the two of you?" Gu Chen deliberately put on a straight face, put his hands behind his back, and asked Wen Xinliu.
"This ...... On that day...... "I heard that my heart was full of words, and my words were vague."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to listen to the process, that's your private matter, I just want to know, are the two of you together?" Gu Chen interrupted impatiently when he saw this.
Wen Xinliu gritted her teeth and nodded with determination.
Gu Chen touched his chin, looked at Wen Xinliu with interest, and said in his heart, this guy has finally opened his mind!
At this time, Gu Jinrou suddenly ran over, blocked in front of Wen Xinliu, and said to Gu Chen: "We really like each other, Brother Chen, don't blame him, blame me!"
Gu Chen looked at Gu Jinrou strangely, "I didn't say I want to blame you, why are you in such a hurry?" one of you is my good brother and the other is my cousin, it's too late for me to be happy that you can be together!"
Wen Xinliu and Gu Jinrou glanced at each other in surprise when they heard this.
"Sect Master, you really don't object?" Wen Xinliu asked cautiously.
"Why should I object?" Gu Chen asked suspiciously.
Then Gu Chen suddenly realized: "Oh, you're talking about the seniority of the two of you, right?
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this.
However, Gu Jinrou just showed a smile and suddenly collapsed, and said in disappointment: "But my father won't agree!"
"Why doesn't Uncle agree?" Gu Chen asked suspiciously, in his impression, Uncle is a very enlightened person, although the Wen family is friendly with the Gu family, but after all, they are two families, and this generation issue is actually not so rigorous.
Gu Jinrou sighed lightly and said, "You don't know, my father has had a good relationship with the head of the Wen family over the years. At the beginning, they could be said to be at first sight, they met late, and later they also married brothers, and after coming to the City of Forgotten Heart, the two of them made a marriage contract for my brother and the eldest lady of the Wen family. And Brother Liu is the younger brother of the head of the Wen family! If Brother Liu and I are together, it will be a complete mess of generations! So how can they agree to the matter between the two of us!"
Gu Chen was also big for a while when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship.
Wen Rusong, the head of the Wen family, and Gu Sihai, the head of the Gu family, are sworn brothers.
The eldest lady of the Wen family is the daughter of Wen Rusong and the niece of Wen Xinliu, and the eldest young master of the Gu family is the son of Gu Sihai and the elder brother of Gu Jinrou.
If Wen Xinliu and Gu Jinrou are together, wouldn't Wen Rusong be inferior to Gu Sihai?
And in the future, will the eldest lady of the Wen family call Gu Jinrou a sister-in-law or an aunt?
What a mess of this relationship......
No wonder the two of them are going to have a private meeting secretly, it seems that Wen Xinliu is also deliberately hiding from outsiders.
If it weren't for Gu Chen's identity as the sect leader, those Qinglong Hall disciples would probably not have revealed the matter of Wen Xinliu and Gu Jinrou.
"Then what are you going to do? Do you have to sneak around for a lifetime? This matter can't be hidden, if you two want to be together, you must get the consent of the uncle and the head of the Wen family. Gu Chen spread his hands and asked the two.
The two of them were silent at the same time.
"How do you know if you can succeed if you don't try everything? Find a chance to have a showdown with them, and when the time comes, I'll help you persuade them!" Gu Chen said to the two of them in the tone of a sect leader.
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, Gu Chen was the leader of the Pantheistic Sect, the lord of Yuezhou, how could the head of the Wen family and Gu Sihai have to give him face! With his support, things may really be possible!
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
The two thanked each other in unison.
"However, you must be mentally prepared, even if this can be done, you two will inevitably have to face the gossip of outsiders in the future. Gu Chen reminded the two seriously.
"What's the point of gossip! As long as I can be with Jinrou, I'm not afraid of going up the knife mountain and going down the sea of fire!" Wen Xinliu said with a serious face.
"Hehe, that's good! Lao Wen, I think about the matter between me and Zijing at the beginning, thanks to your advice. Don't worry, I will do my best to do your thing!" Gu Chen patted Wen Xinliu's shoulder and smiled.
"Oh, what romantic things did Brother Chen and his younger siblings have at the beginning? You might as well talk about it!" Gu Jinrou suddenly became interested, smiled, and asked Gu Chen curiously.
"Ahem! It's nothing, I still have important things to do, so I'll go first! Oh yes, old news, you come to the study of this seat later, and I still need to discuss with you about the recruitment of new disciples. Gu Chen hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.
After speaking, he walked out without looking back, for fear that Gu Jinrou would ask to the end.
I think that at the beginning, Gu Chen was a straight man of steel, if it weren't for Wen Xinliu and Hei Wu's unremitting advice and advice, he and Murong Zijing might have to go through many more tribulations to achieve good things!
So, how can Gu Jinrou know about those troubles?
——————————————
Gu Chen originally wanted to discuss business with Wen Xinliu, although Shen Yan had great hopes, but for the sake of insurance, Gu Chen still had to discuss with Wen Xinliu, at least to find out the background of the current Pantheistic Sect.
But at this time, Gu Chen didn't want to disturb the good things of Wen Xinliu and Gu Jinrou, so he returned to the dormitory and waited for Wen Xinliu in the study.
Fortunately, Wen Xinliu is also a person who understands the general situation, and he knows that Gu Chen must have something important to go to the Qinglong Palace to find him in person, so he didn't let Gu Chen wait too long, and came to Gu Chen's study.
"It's coming so soon?, what about Sister Rou?" asked Gu Chen curiously.
"Jinrou has already gone back, and she has been coming out more often lately, so she can't stay long every time. Wen Xinliu replied embarrassedly.
"This period of time is a critical juncture for my Pantheistic Sect, so don't slack off, you can rest assured about the matter between you and Sister Rou, and after a while, this seat will personally come forward to help you solve it!" Gu Chen looked straight and said to Wen Xinliu.
"Yes, my subordinates thank the sect leader here!" Wen Xinliu thanked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen motioned for Wen Xinliu to sit down, and then said slowly: "If things go well on Shen Yan's side, then you need to send people to collect the spirit mine, but you have to prepare for the worst! If Shen Yan can't find the spirit vein as scheduled, and the news of recruiting disciples has already been released, you can't stop, so you need to use the resources stored in the sect!"
"Don't worry, the sect leader has already prepared, my sect resource account is here, please ask the sect master to take a look!" Wen Xinliu took out a thick account book and handed it to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen waved his hand and didn't take the account book, but said: "You don't need to look at the accounts, and I can't figure out the value of some items, you can tell this seat." ”
Wen Xinliu nodded, took back the account book, and then said: "According to my statistics, if all the resources other than the spirit stones are converted into spirit stones, plus the original spirit stones, there are about 120,000 high-grade spirit stones in total, and 12 million when converted into low-grade spirit stones. ”
"It's only 12 million? Not to mention all kinds of rare treasures, there are millions of taxes collected from the major cities every year, right? Why is there only such a small amount of surplus now?" Gu Chen asked suspiciously.
Wen Xinliu patiently replied: "The sect leader doesn't know, since my Pantheistic Sect took over Yuezhou, the sect leader has benevolently lowered the tax standard, so the annual tax can only barely maintain the expenses of the disciples. Some time ago, in order to refine the Xuan Tortoise Armor, this was another astronomical amount, and it cost more than 20 million spirit stones to collect the material level alone, so there are only 12 million lower grade spirit stones left. ”
"Huh......" Gu Chen took a deep breath, it turned out that his Pantheistic Sect was so poor, one of the top ten forces in the Tianyuan Continent, and it was only 12 million spirit stone reserves...... Ahem, if all the major elders and hall masters enjoy such treatment, I'm afraid that in a few years, the Pantheistic Sect will collapse.
"Then, if according to the worst-case scenario, Shen Yan didn't find the spirit mine, how long can we last after recruiting new disciples?" Gu Chen asked Wen Xinliu with his forehead.
