In the blink of an eye, Xu Zheng and Yun Xi left him, and at his young age, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Although the Gu family is large, there is only one person who can talk to him, and Ishihara City has a large population, and Xu Zheng is the only one who is willing to be friends with him. "It seems that I will really become a loner in the future. Gu Le smiled bitterly.

Soon this small turmoil returned to calm, and Gu Le still walked through the bamboo house and the back mountain to cultivate. seems to have forgotten his troubles, forgotten the parting of Yun Xi and Xu Zheng, and only knew how to bury his head in penance. Over the past year, Gu Le has tried to turn over the "Flood Desolation Shenwu" many times, but the broken book has never had any reaction, and he has no choice but to put all his energy on cultivation, he believes that with the improvement of cultivation, he will definitely be able to explore the secrets of this book.

Ishihara Castle seems to have long forgotten the humiliated old music of the past, the bustling shouting in the streets, the shouting of groups in the taverns, and of course, the ostentatious warriors who have ventured back from Mt. Tenbong. Warriors and traders from all over the world made Ishihara Castle, a deserted city in the northwest, a famous and prosperous city of the Purple Cloud Empire.

The prosperity of Ishihara Castle is inseparable from the maintenance of the four major families, and stability is achieved by absolute rule. The relative balance of the four major families also contributed to the relative stability of Ishihara Castle.

The Gu family seems to have long been accustomed to Gu Le hiding in the bamboo house all day long and not coming out, or has long forgotten him. Who would worry about a waste every day for no reason, not to mention that it is almost the end of the year, the stewards of the family are busy calculating this year's harvest, and the elders are busy preparing red envelopes for the New Year's for the outstanding juniors of the family, and the teenagers are busy cultivating, crazy cultivation.

There is an unwritten rule in the ancient family that at the end of the year, as long as the juniors who are not more than fifteen years old must have a year-end competition. At the reunion dinner on the evening of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the juniors took the stage to compete, first, to add to the joy of the New Year, and second, to select the highest cultivation and give rewards, so as to encourage the juniors to cultivate well. Of course, if this is not enough to make the descendants of the Gu family cultivate so wildly, the key is that on this day, the teenagers who are not yet able to boast of being in the early stage of martial arts at the age of thirteen will be assigned to the side of the family, and follow the elders of the side line to learn business or learn literature to seek official ways, so as to earn more resources for the family and promote the development of the family.

This is to pave the way for the future of teenagers, but in fact, it is to tell you that you are not talented enough, so you can only be an ordinary person to make money for your family and serve talented teenagers. In fact, this is not unusual in the Purple Cloud Empire, after all, not everyone can become a martial artist. And the cultivation of each martial artist will consume huge resources, and the family can't support everyone, there must be someone to earn resources for the family. If the family wants to develop, it must have someone to become a warrior, be a master, and become the support of the family. There are also people who can only be ordinary people for the rest of their lives, fighting in the mortal world, expanding the family's resources, and running for the development of the family. This has long been the rule of the ancient family since the founding of the clan.

At the end of each year of the Gu family, the competition of the younger generation is the highlight, and this year is no exception. Whether it is a clansman who has been busy outside for a year, and a family member who is distributed in other places will bring his own teenager to leak his face, at least he can be familiar with the face in the family, if his child is lucky enough to step into the top six, he will be favored by the patriarch or the elders of the family, and will be reused by the family. That must have drawn many envious glances. After all, the resources in the clan are much stronger than those in the side lineage, and only by getting more resources can they cultivate better.

"I heard that the number of participants this year is a lot higher than last year?"

"Well, the family has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the population has increased a lot. Looks like there's going to be a good show this year. ”

"It's over, it's over... I've just stepped into the early stage of martial arts, and it looks like I'm going to lose face. ”

"Hehe, brother, don't be afraid, isn't there still the third young master of our family!"

"Uh... Haha, yes. With him here, what am I afraid of? ”

The two teenagers walked into the distance with a smile and laughter, not avoiding the slightest hint of being heard. It's just that they don't know that Gu Le, who is not far away, will listen to their conversation, of course, even if they know, they won't care, the name of the third young master is a waste hasn't been called for a day or two, is it possible that he still wants to be called a genius.

A hint of anger flashed in Gu Le's eyes, and then a strange smile appeared. "Waste, then let me surprise you," Gu Le said in his heart. "Hmph, if you want to see me laugh, then let me see how you geniuses laugh at me. Don't let me down too much.

The end of the year is approaching, and Ishihara Castle is much more lively than ever. After all, Gu Le was still a child, and after finishing today's cultivation, he wanted to go out for a walk, but unfortunately as soon as he came out, he heard a few strange teenagers talking about himself so unabashedly. Although they didn't know each other, they knew by looking at their clothes that they must be teenagers from the side of the family.

In the hall of the old mansion of the Gu family, the patriarch Gu Poshan sat in the first place, and the elders of the Gu family sat on both sides, and behind the elders stood more than twenty middle-aged people. These people are the real rulers of the Gu family, and they are also the backbone of the Gu family, and those who can participate in this kind of meeting must at least have the cultivation of the early stage of the martial king. At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference hall was a little depressing, and the white-haired Gu Poshan's eyes were full of anger.

"Father, it's not in line with the family rules to not let Gu Le participate in the year-end competition, right?" said a middle-aged man standing at the head of the side. The middle-aged man looks somewhat similar to Gu Poshan, with a height of more than one meter and eight meters, and the muscles on his body are full of explosive power. This middle-aged man is Gu Xiaohe, the eldest son of Gu Poshan.

"Yes, Patriarch. You can't spoil the clan because of an ancient music."

"Yes, Patriarch. The clan rules are the foundation of the family, if the clan rules are broken today because of the ancient music, who will abide by the clan rules in the future, and how can our ancient family gain a foothold in Ishihara City. Ask the patriarch to think twice. ”

"He Gule has no strength, he can admit defeat, and who will not deliberately hurt him. It's not that because he can't martial arts, he's going to break the clan rules. ”

The elders spoke one after another, as seriously as if they were dealing with a very serious, serious matter. It has the meaning of fighting against Gu Poshan. It's just that Gu Poshan didn't see that when the elders expressed their dissatisfaction, there was a flash of light in Gu Xiaohe's eyes.

Gu Poshan would never have thought that these were carefully designed by his eldest son, who was five big and three thick, usually spoke upright, had a loud voice, and had a bold personality.

Back then, Gu Xiaotian returned to the family with Gu Le, showing extraordinary cultivation. And the family members all saw that Gu Poshan had the intention of passing on the position of the head of the family to Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaohe was full of hatred for his third brother after knowing it, after all, he is the eldest son of the family, and he is the most qualified to inherit the position of the patriarch, and as soon as you Gu Xiaotian comes back, my hope will be ruined. There is no reason not to hate. Helplessly, Gu Xiaotian's cultivation was too strong at that time, so he had to hide his hatred.

Since Gu Xiaotian disappeared again, and this disappearance has been more than ten years, Gu Xiaohe has gradually become less afraid of Gu Xiaotian, so slowly Gu Xiaohe transferred his hatred for Gu Xiaotian to Gu Le. The name of Gu Raku's waste spread throughout Ishihara Castle, and Gu Xiaohe secretly helped. It's just that these ancient music don't know.

The year-end big competition is an opportunity to completely suppress Gu Le from the Gu family, how can Gu Xiaohe let it go. Gu Poshan's desire to pass on the position of the head of the family to Gu Xiaotian had made him unbearable, but he didn't expect him to still love Gu Le, which made Gu Poshan's hatred for Gu Le go straight to the point of erupting. Therefore, before the family meeting was held, he secretly bribed the elders, and this time he must let Gu Le completely suppress the Gu family. As a result, it is not surprising that Gu Poshan still knows his grandson very well, and knows that although he has not been able to cultivate, he has a heart that does not admit defeat, and it is basically impossible for him to admit defeat in front of hundreds of family members during the year-end competition in the clan. He was worried that Gu Le would have an accident in the year-end competition, and proposed not to let Gu Le participate in the meeting, and the result can be imagined. Although Gu Poshang is the head of a clan, although he has the cultivation of the Martial Sect Realm, as he grows older, the family meeting in the Gu family is definitely no longer a word hall, and many things cannot be developed according to his ideas, not to mention that it was his eldest son who was the first to give advice. It seems that he can only have time to do the work of ancient music
