Chapter 723: Seizure of power
In the central hall of the Gu family, Gu Yunzhi sat on the top, while the second elder Taishang and the third elder Taishang sat on both sides.
Gu Shanshui, as the head of the Gu family, was the first to sit on the left, while Gu Mingfeng, Gu Mingluan and Gu Minghai were sitting below, but compared to Gu Shanshui, they were all a little trembling.
There is no way, they were all trying to find a way to snatch the position of the patriarch before, who knew that the wind and clouds had suddenly changed, and the former patriarch who should have died, and now the great elder Taishang was resurrected.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Gu Yunzhi asked in a deep voice while sitting on the main seat.
Immediately afterwards, the Second Elder Taishang and the Third Elder Taishang briefly talked about Gu Yunzhi's ten years of defrauding death, of course, Gu Mingfeng and Gu Mingluan added from time to time.
"Big brother, we can't help it, the family industry has been suppressed by the major families, which has caused the income to decline repeatedly, and now it is in jeopardy, if we don't think of a way, our Gu family will be removed from the top family!"
The Third Elder Taishang followed and said, "So we can only think of a way and marry the Bai family, so that they will help us stabilize the industry, at least so that those forces will not attack for the time being, and give us a chance to breathe." ”
"Hmph, then what if the Bai family also wants to annex our property?" Gu Yunzhi asked with a cold snort.
Everyone was stunned, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva with difficulty, Gu Minghai wiped his sweat and said, "Won't it?"
"Isn't it?" Gu Yunzhi snorted contemptuously, "In the face of absolute interests, let alone the in-laws, even the relatives can give it up, do you think the Bai family will put a big piece of fat meat and not eat it?"
Everyone was embarrassed. Being said like this, there is really such a possibility.
"Then big brother, are we going to give up our marriage with the Bai family?" asked the Third Elder Taishang very unwillingly.
"Give up, that's not enough!" Gu Yunzhi shook his head, making Gu Shanshui, who had just his eyes light up and thought that Yu Xi had escaped, was speechless again, "I made an appointment with Laixi's predecessor before." Since the competition is going to be held, then it must be vigorous and lively, so that everyone in the whole continent knows that our Gu family is still a top family. ”
"If the Bai family can really become the final winner, then it is also a very good thing to let him marry Yuxi. However, when marrying the Bai family, you must pay more attention. lest they be sold. "Gu Yunzhi.
Back then, it was he who insisted that Gu Shanhe marry a young lady from another top family, and he was not with Hao Li.
In the face of the interests of the family, what is the point of sacrificing the happiness of the marriage of the children? As for the agreement with Lacey just now to hold a competition, there is no way to do it, who told him that he can't beat Lacey?
Gu Mingfeng hesitated and said, "But, can the Bai family become the final winner?"
"Perhaps, but whoever wins. It must be our Gu family who will benefit!" Gu Yunzhi smiled gloomily, "and also took this opportunity to tell everyone. I've broken through to the high-level Sacred Realm masters, so that those bastards don't have the idea of beating our Gu family. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, although they had guessed before, they didn't hear Gu Yunzhi admit it after all.
"Big brother, this is great! As long as you announce your current strength to the outside world, those juniors will definitely not dare to come again!" "The Second Elder Taishang and the Third Elder Taishang were all overjoyed.
Gu Shanshui couldn't help but say, "Father." In this way, there is no need to marry Yu Xi in a hurry, right?"
"Shanshui, what do you know? This is the eldest brother's order!" said the second elder Taishang unhappily.
Gu Mingfeng also echoed in the back: "That is, since the uncle has an order, we will naturally obey it." ”
"But father. After all, Yu Xi is your own granddaughter, can't she choose happiness by herself?" Gu Shanshui said again, he looked at Yu Xi's lost expression, and felt a pang in his heart.
He has no daughter, Yu Xi is his own niece and nephew, and Gu Shanhe is not at home all the year round, he almost treats Yu Xi as his own daughter. He suffers a little by himself, and it doesn't matter if he is tired, but if he wants to bring the rain, he can't do it.
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhi snorted very dissatisfied: "No wonder the Gu family's situation is getting worse and worse now, the main reason is the problem of you, the patriarch! How can a woman like you bring the Gu family back to the peak? Okay, now you can rest a little, and we will handle the next few things." ”
"Father!" Gu Shanshui couldn't help but exclaim.
"Okay, let's do it!" Gu Yunzhi waved his hand without thinking about it, and supported Gu Shanshui before speaking.
And the second elder Taishang and the third elder Taishang and their group of people were secretly happy, in this way, Gu Shanshui was equivalent to standing aside, although he still had the name of the patriarch on his body, but he did not have any real power.
Gu Shanshui naturally understood, he opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words and left the hall dejectedly. It's not that he is not attached to the position of patriarch, but he is really afraid that the Gu family will be ruined because of this.
He felt that his father Gu Yunzhi's choice this time was not so correct, and it might bring great trouble to the Gu family.
However, now that he no longer has to worry about the Gu family's affairs, the burden on his body has been lifted, and he can't help but feel much lighter. Looking up at the stars in the night sky, he sighed and walked into his room.
Early the next morning, Hao Meng woke up. No way, although he really wants to sleep lazy, but the biological clock always wakes up so early, which makes him very distressed.
But now that I'm awake, there's no need to sleep anymore. After breakfast, he said hello to Mr. Lebby and went home to visit his grandfather and aunt.
Thanks to the space ring, I can finally buy a lot of things this time, and I don't have to worry about not being able to put it down.
As for the little bird and the little snow bear, they stayed in the academy for the time being.
After spending most of the day on the road, Hao Meng soon returned to the town again. As soon as he entered the town, the townspeople greeted him happily, and he also saw Yu Qinghe's mother. It's a pity that Yu Qinghe seems to have gone out on a mission with everyone and couldn't come back with him.
After a confession, Hao Meng soon came to the door of his house, and saw his aunt Hao Li washing clothes at the door.
Because he sent back some gold coins from time to time, there was no need for Hao Li to go out to pick up work, but she was used to it, so she couldn't be idle at all, so she simply took the clothes of the neighbors nearby to wash them, after all, the neighbors also took care of them.
"Auntie!" shouted Hao Meng.
"Amon?" Hao Li looked up and found that it was Hao Meng who shouted to her, so she immediately stood up happily and quickly wiped her hand on her apron.
At this time, Hao Meng had already run to Hao Li, and Hao Li happily came up: "Amon, why are you back? Come and let me see, well, tall, dark, but strong." ”
It's not, Hao Meng is now in the stage of growing his body, although it is not a day of three changes, but there are still three changes in three months. It's been more than three months since I last went home.
Hao Meng smiled and leaned in front of Hao Li like a coquette: "Auntie, I miss you so much." ”
"Well, my aunt misses you too, come, go and see grandpa. Hao Li walked in with Hao Meng, and shouted, "Dad, Dad, come out quickly, Amon is back!"
"I heard it!" Old lady Hao walked out of the house, and when she saw Hao Meng, she was stunned at first.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Amon is back!" Hao Li saw that the old lady was shocked, thinking that she didn't hear clearly, and repeated it again.
Old lady Hao glanced at Hao Li: "I haven't reached the point of being deaf yet, so I can naturally hear clearly." But Amon, are you ......?"
"Isn't it what?" Hao Li was a little strange.
Old lady Hao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Although I can't say anything, I always feel different from before, it seems to be more complete." It's a pity that my cultivation has been abolished, and I can't detect your current situation at all. ”
Hao Li also looked at Hao Meng suspiciously, but unfortunately, she was in a similar situation to Old Lady Hao, and she could not recover for the time being.
Hao Meng said to the two of them very proudly: "Grandpa, auntie, don't you see it? I have already repaired my brain domain! Moreover, I have now become a second-order magician!"
"What?Second Order Sorcerer?, really?," Hao Li suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Of course it's true, do I need to lie to you?" Hao Meng said with a smile, no matter what, becoming a second-order magician and breaking through this hurdle is a thing to be thankful about. What's more, he hasn't broken the Yin Pill yet, if he eats it, he will have to break through another level.
After hearing this, Hao Li and Mrs. Hao nodded excitedly, and kept saying, "Good! ”
"Come, Amon, are you tired? Hao Li handed over a cup.
Not to mention, Hao Meng was really thirsty, and after taking it, he drank a big cup.
Hao Li said gently: "Don't worry, drink slowly." ”
Seeing that Hao Meng finished drinking and poured it again, Old Lady Hao asked curiously: "Ameng, then who repaired your brain domain? I'm afraid that it will take the master of the Holy Domain to repair it at the cost of all the qi, okay? And it has to be light, this is too difficult." ”
At the mention of this, Hao Meng couldn't help but think of Lector, and his mood couldn't help but become quite heavy.
"Grandpa, a senior of our Dragon God Academy, his name is Rykert, for me, he ...... He sacrificed ......" Hao Meng said, choking up.
Old lady Hao was taken aback: "Rect, is it a person who was born blind?"
"Grandpa, do you know Senior Rector?" Hao Meng was surprised.
Old Lady Hao nodded: "If it is congenital blindness, then it should be him, if I remember correctly, he should be a student of the first generation of Dragon God Academy, I didn't expect to be alive, and he broke through to the master of the Holy Domain." But as far as I know, it takes a lot of energy to repair your brain domain, but you don't need to sacrifice it, right?"
Hao Meng smiled bitterly and briefly recounted what happened in the Forest of Death. (To be continued......)
