Chapter 2 Lantern Festival

Haha, in a room of the Gu family, the third elder Gu Li couldn't help but laugh with excitement in his heart as soon as he returned to the room.

"Father, what is so happy?". Hearing the laughter, a very handsome young man came from the back of the room, looking at his father suspiciously.

"Haha, come to Gu Li, my father has a great news for you!" Gu Lei smiled lightly.

"Oh?" Gu Li is now twelve years old, and now he is basically cultivating at Princeton Academy in Falling Hammer City, Gu Li's fire department has a medium war spirit talent, such a talent is also in the forefront of the entire Falling Hammer City, and now it is being cultivated by Princeton Academy as a key training, and he will definitely be one of the peak powerhouses in this Falling Hammer City in the future.

"Li'er, do you know that Gu Chen actually failed to activate the war spirit!" Gu Li looked at his son with satisfaction and laughed, originally he thought that Gu Chen was at least also a high level of war spirit talent, but the ridiculous Gu Chen was actually unable to activate the war spirit, as soon as he thought of Gu Tian's expression, Gu Li couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, "Li'er, you must remember to cultivate hard, the position of the head of the Gu family in the future will definitely be yours!"

Gu Li's face was happy, and he bowed down and said, "Don't worry, father!"

The people of Falling Hammer City were all talking about Gu Yun's inability to activate the war spirit, and in their eyes, as the son of the strongest Gu Tian, Gu Chen's talent was so poor, it really made Gu Tian lose face.

People are often like this, being mean to others and being lenient to themselves.

"You've heard that the son of Lord Wu Gu Tian didn't activate the war spirit. ”

"yes, I saw it with my own eyes that day!"

"Eh, a great and good man like Lord Gu Tian actually gave birth to such a son, and I don't know what Lord Gu Tian did wrong?"

At the age of ten, you can't activate the War Spirit, which is considered to be the lowest level of War Spirit talent.

From that day on, Gu Chen slowly became indifferent, and everyone's expressions turned to pity, sympathy, or ridicule when they saw him, and he didn't know why it seemed as if everyone had abandoned him.

For a year, every day Gu Chen likes to sit alone in the courtyard and watch the sunrise and sunset. Occasionally, Gu Tian would come to see Gu Chen, but he would leave after a while, and when he left, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the lonely little Gu Chen.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing here?" Just as Gu Chen was sitting there in a daze, a sweet voice suddenly sounded.

"Xue'er, why are you here again, don't you practice with the third grandfather today?" Gu Xue is the granddaughter of the third grandfather of Gu Chen, Xiao Nizi is not only exquisite, but also the battle spirit talent is ranked first in the entire Gu family, the water system is a high talent, when the little girl's talent was appraised, it alarmed many elders of the family, and later was personally taught by the third elder who had not asked about the world for a long time. However, the little girl is indeed a long-term guest in Gu Chen's courtyard, as long as she is free, she will run to the courtyard to see Gu Chen, and chat with Gu Chen for a while, Gu Chen was eleven years old that year, and Gu Xue was ten years old.

Time flies, three years have passed quickly, and now Gu Chen is already a young man of about one meter six, but Gu Chen's body does not have any changes in the war spirit, and Gu Chen has been used to this situation in the past few years-

In the quiet courtyard, Gu Chen didn't know how many days he hadn't stepped out of the courtyard, if it weren't for the fact that Grandpa Lamb would come to bring some food to Gu Chen every day, it was estimated that Gu Chen would think that he had been forgotten by the Gu family.

"Young Master Gu Chen. At this time, Lamb walked in with some food in his hand, looked at Gu Chen who was sitting next to the stone table, and called softly.

"Grandpa Lamb, you're here," Gu Chen smiled at Lamb.

Looking at Gu Chen's smile, Lamb felt a pain in his heart, he knew that the reason why Gu Chen was like this was because he didn't want him to worry, why didn't he understand Gu Chen's intentions, "Young Master Chen, hurry up and come over and eat something." Lamb said as he took out the food in his hand, and strangely enough, the food in Lamb's hand was enough for two people.

"Wow! it's so fragrant" A girl in yellow stood at the door with a smile, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and her cute nose sniffed the residual fragrance in the air and sighed. Today's Gu Xue is already a teenage girl, slim and elegant, and she is a beauty embryo after seeing it.

"Xue'er, come over quickly," Gu Chen glanced at Gu Xue and urged.

When Gu Xue heard her brother Chen calling her, she immediately took a petite step, trotted all the way to Gu Chen, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started to move. "Brother Gu Chen, you can eat quickly" Gu Xue raised her head and looked at Gu Chen, who was staring at her with a smile on her face.

"Oh, okay, let's eat it quickly" Gu Chen reacted at this time, and the two of them immediately ate it with a good taste.

Lamb looked at the two children with a relieved face, and did not disturb the two, in the past few years, as long as the meal arrived, Gu Xue would appear in Gu Chen's courtyard, whenever Gu Xue appeared, Gu Chen's mood seemed to be much better, and then Lamb would prepare more meals every day, because he knew that Gu Xue, this girl, would definitely appear on time.

"By the way, Brother Gu Chen, let's go see the lanterns together in a while," Gu Xue said to Gu Chen with a look of hope.

"Lanterns?".

"That's right, every year today, we will have a lantern festival in Hammer City, which is very beautiful."

Looking at Gu Xue's expectant look, although Gu Chen was unwilling, he couldn't bear to refuse, and then nodded "Okay."

"Yes, Brother Gu Chen, let's go after eating" The girl couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart.

At this time, Lamb, who was on the side, suddenly worried, "Young Master Guchen, why don't I go with you." Gu Chen knew that Lamb was worried about himself, after all, he was a waste person who couldn't do anything.

"No need, Grandpa Lamb," Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders helplessly and smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Lamb, I will definitely protect Brother Gu Chen!" Gu Xue said with a serious smile, "If anyone dares to bully my brother Gu Chen, Xue'er will definitely not let him go" In order to show her determination, the little girl worked hard to puff up her little chest and abdomen, as if she was swearing to Gu Chen.

After listening to Gu Xue's words, Gu Chen originally felt a pain in his heart, but when he saw Gu Xue's cute appearance, he couldn't help laughing anymore.

January 1 of the Chiyan calendar.

At this time of year, it is the lantern season on the mainland, for the origin of this lantern festival, there are various sayings on the road, but the most agreeable thing is that according to legend, a long time ago, when the entire Chiyan Continent was in turmoil and strife, there was a couple living on the high mountain, just newlywed husband put on armor on the battlefield, and then the woman would light a lamp in front of the door every night, illuminating the way back for her husband, waiting for her husband to return, day after day, year after year, the woman never stopped, just a few years later, on the first night of the year, that night the wind blew, the torrential rain continued, when the woman tried hard to light the lampAt this time, the woman seemed to find that her husband was climbing on the mountain road, and the woman hurriedly stabbed her wrist, and when the blood flowed into the lantern, the original faint candlelight bloomed more vividly, and suddenly illuminated the entire mountain. The storm did not go out until the next morning, and then the news of the woman's waiting for her husband spread completely, and from that day on, on the first day of the year, everyone would light a lantern in their homes, heralding the harmony and happiness of the family.

Every year at this time, the Chiyan Continent will be very calm, even the war will let this time begin, and the entire Chiyan Continent will be filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The whole city of Hammer City was crowded with people at night, the streets were noisy, and everyone was immersed in joy and joy.

"Come on, don't miss it, there's a lot of good goods here"

There is a lot of clamor from all kinds of vendors, and tonight is a good time for these vendors to make a fortune, and everyone wants to miss this special day.

"Brother Gu Chen, you see how beautiful this Jinpa" Gu Xue looked at the new things around her like a curious baby, for this Lantern Festival, Gu Xue and Gu Chen came to participate for the first time, at this time Gu Xue was staying in front of a handkerchief embroidered with two mandarin ducks.

"Yo, Miss, your vision is really good, the two words mandarin duck on this are just right for you and this son! The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful. ”

Listening to the vendor's words, Gu Xuemei glanced at Gu Chen, who pretended not to see it, and snorted, "Don't do it!" In fact, Gu Chen's heart was excited at this moment, but he just forcibly didn't let Gu Xue see it, and when he heard Xue'er say no, he didn't know why Gu Chen felt very lost in his heart.

"Let's go, go over there and take a look" Gu Xue grabbed Gu Chen's hand, "Brother Gu Chen follow me, don't get lost for a while if there are too many people",

Whew! Being held by Xue'er like this, Gu Chen's heart trembled, and his heart was indescribably satisfied.

As soon as she took Gu Chen's hand, Xiao Nizi also turned red, and comforted her in her heart, "It's okay, there are too many people, and it will be troublesome if you get separated from Brother Gu Chen in a while!"

At this time, the Lantern Festival has reached the most important time, the traffic is busy, even walking is very difficult, and the entire Hammer City is extremely noisy.

"Brother Gu Li, I heard that you are now a third-order war spirit" At this time, several richly dressed children of the Gu family also appeared on the Lantern Festival, Gu Li heard this, and his face also showed a trace of pride, being able to reach a third-order war spirit at the age of fifteen, such an achievement is indeed worthy of pride.

"Haha, Gu Feng, as long as you work hard, you will naturally become a third-order war spirit in the future," Gu Li smiled lightly.

"Eh, by the time a few of us reach the third-order battle spirit, it is estimated that you will already be a fifth-order battle spirit, Brother Gu Li", the voice contained endless flattery and praise. In the past few days, everyone is actually Gu Li's followers, but they are very useful for these people to praise Gu Li, no, Gu Li's face is happy at this time.

"Brother Gu Li, look over there," Suddenly, Gu Feng next to him pointed to two figures not far away and said in surprise.

Following Gu Feng's gaze, Gu Li's face, which was originally full of smiles, changed, and he said coldly, "Damn, that waste is actually with Xue'er!" Gu Xue is the dream lover of many children of the Gu family, especially this Gu Li, who has a soft spot for Gu Xue, but Gu Xue doesn't pay attention to herself at all, and now she actually sees Gu Xue and the famous waste of the Gu family together, and she is angry for a while, and she yells at a few people around her, "Go!"

Gu Feng and the others saw Gu Li so angry, and their hearts were also full of joy, everyone knew that Gu Chen was going to be unlucky! . Gu Chen never played with them in the Gu family, and after a long time, everyone always felt that Gu Chen was too proud, relying on himself to be a descendant of the family, so he was unhappy to see Gu Chen early, but Gu Chen didn't leave the family at all, and they didn't have a chance at all.
