Chapter 21: Acquaintances
"Xiao Guzi, how did you do it?"
"Xiao Guzi, are you really only a second-order now?
"Little Guzi, why have you been carrying this tattered axe all the time?"
"Little Guzi, I'm ......"
Elena dangled her long and full legs, like a curious baby, and interrogated Gurung all the way, but Gurung could only keep smiling and answer these questions lightly.
At the door of the clothing store before, Gurung slapped Cedias and vomited blood, which was quickly spread by the onlookers at the time. And the teenagers of the Locke family, after a few words, carried the unconscious Cedias and ran away, the young man named Kane, who looked at Gurung with a complicated expression when he left, as if he wanted to say something and stopped.
At this moment, the two were on their way to the family mansion, and Egwen was supposed to send additional guards to the two of them to avoid retaliation from the Locke family on the way, but Elena decisively refused.
"Joke! if you want revenge, let them come, the old lady is waiting!" said Elena.
Looking at Elena, who was still angry, Egwen could only stand aside and smile bitterly.
Maybe it's because of Sag's special identity, since Gurung's memory, he has never come to the family's mansion with Sag, although he has never said it, but in his heart, he is full of yearning for this big family that is often mentioned by his father, and for a small child, the more unknown, the more mysterious, and often the most interesting to him.
"Little Guzi, we're here!" There was nothing to do all the way, and the two finally came to the door of the Panshi family mansion, Elena stretched out a big waist without any scruples, not caring at all about the little ** leaking out of the torn part of the clothes, this move hurt Gu Long touched his nose embarrassedly, and quickly shifted his gaze.
Unlike Gurung's imagination, the Rock Family's mansion was not as splendid as he had imagined. Although it seems to cover a large area, from the appearance, the decoration style of the entire mansion is very simple, gray tiles, cyan courtyard walls, low-key with a touch of simplicity, at a glance very comfortable.
Gurung nodded approvingly, he had received a strict education since he was a child, and he naturally understood the truth that "luxury is the root of depravity".
"It seems that our Rock Family has been able to stand on the mainland for 10,000 years, and there is indeed some truth. Gurung said secretly, with an extra sense of pride in his heart.
"My subordinates have seen Miss Elena! May I ask who this is......" The two guards standing at the door of the mansion saw Elena's arrival and hurriedly saluted, and one of the guards pointed to Gurung standing beside her with a curious look on his face, and asked cautiously.
"Is it your turn to ask?" Without revealing Gurung's identity to the guards, Elena dragged him through the door, giving the guard a fierce look.
Her eyes frightened the two guards all over, and they lowered their heads honestly, not daring to speak again. God, this Elena's fierce reputation is the best in the entire Rock City, if you really annoy this female tyrannosaurus, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died.
In fact, Elena did not rely on her identity to bully the guards, but because her father Joseph had emphasized the particularity of Sag's father and son in front of her more than once, and her behavior just now was actually a kind of protection for Gurung.
"Xiao Guzi, I'll go change my clothes first, you wait for me here......"
"Elena, you're fighting again!" Before Elena could finish speaking, a majestic voice came from behind the two, and Elena stiffened when she heard this, and the expression on her face was as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Father......" Elena turned slightly in the direction where the voice came from, and looked pitifully at the middle-aged man standing behind the two with big watery eyes.
This person is in his early forties, not tall, and his figure is a little thin, with an elegant atmosphere, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
"Uncle Joseph!" Gurung looked at the visitor excitedly and greeted him politely. This man was none other than Elena's father, Sag's good brother, Joseph Rock.
Joseph, who was originally serious-looking, looked at him with a little surprise when he heard Gurung's name, and his originally serious expression gradually dissipated, with a smile on his face.
"Aha, Gu Boy!" Joseph squinted his eyes and finally recognized Gurung's identity, and Da Lu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good boy, you're so strong, you're about to catch up with your uncle!" A look of love flashed in his eyes, Joseph stood beside Gurung and exaggerated the height of the two, and looked at Elena next to him with a coquettish smile.
"Hey, Uncle Joseph, you're smiling......" Gurung showed a simple expression and looked at Joseph with a smirk.
"Gu boy, are you coming back this time to participate in the family competition the day after tomorrow? Hmm...... Looking at your cultivation, you are about to enter the peak of the second order, and I believe that this time among the younger generation, you will definitely be able to achieve a good result. After carefully observing it for a while, Joseph's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was very surprised by Gurung's progress.
Gurung chuckled and nodded, and said, "Yes, Uncle Joseph, Grandpa Noah came to Rock Town a while ago and told me something about the family Dabi and the enrollment of Rock Academy, so I want to give it a try......"
With your talent, it is definitely more than enough to enter the Rock Academy, but as far as I know, only the top five in your generation are eligible to be guaranteed to the Rock Academy...... Your age is the youngest......" Speaking of this, Joseph folded his fingers and pondered for a while, frowned slightly, and said: "But except for Elena, at least six of the children in the clan have reached the third-order viscera stage......
"What? You mean, there are already six elder brothers who have reached the third order? So...... What about Brother Lane, has his strength reached the third order?" asked Gurung with an excited face.
"Ryan, he's still out there, he shouldn't be back until tomorrow, and it's said that he's already broken through to the fourth order. At the mention of Ryan, Joseph's face was full of pride, and then he smiled bitterly, it is also his own child, why is the gap so big......
"Fourth Order...... I don't know which one is stronger compared to Brother Lane and the Iron Armored Bull......" Gurung licked his lips excitedly, thinking secretly, his eyes full of inexplicable anticipation.
"That...... Father...... You talk to Gurung first, I'll ...... I'm going to change my clothes first!" Hearing the two talking about Ryan, Elena slyly pushed Gurung out as her shield and fled in a puff of smoke.
Ryan Panshi, recognized as the strongest person in the younger generation of the Rock family, Elena's own brother, seventeen years old, in order to find an opportunity to break through to the fourth order, he went out to the continent alone a year ago, and for a whole year, judging from his talent, it is very likely that he has broken through to the fourth order. With such an astonishing cultivation speed, he has already caught up with Sag back then.
Although the two are brother and sister, Lane's personality is diametrically opposed to Elena's, so whenever Joseph talks about Lane with others, he always expresses his dissatisfaction with Elena, which gradually develops her habit of choosing to avoid the word "Lane" as soon as she hears it.
"Hmph...... This girl has been spoiled by me, and she knows that she is causing trouble outside...... If only her mother were still around...... "Elena's mother died of illness when she was very young, and Joseph was also negligent in disciplining Elena because he had to deal with the affairs of the clan, coupled with the family's emphasis on Elena's talent, which developed her lawless character, Joseph was troubled by this.
"Uncle Joseph, don't blame Sister Elena, if you want to blame Sister Elena, it's too charming, there are always some guys who don't have long eyes who take the initiative to provoke her......"
"Smack-" Gurung squatted on the ground with his hands over his head and a painful expression.
"Stinky boy, when did you become so flamboyant, it's time to fight!" Elena, who had changed her clothes, appeared behind Gurung at some point, with a wicked smile on her face after the murder was successful.
Joseph glared at Elena fiercely, helped Gurung up and comforted: "Okay, Gu boy, I will take you to meet your father and some of the elders of the clan. Seeing Gu Long nodding, he turned his head to Elena and said in a deep voice: "Since you were a child, you have not been light or heavy, I think you are bullying Gu Boy to be honest!"
Elena stuck out her tongue and followed the two towards the main courtyard.
"Gu boy, this is the first time you have returned to the clan, there are some things that uncle needs to remind you in advance, lest some old guys in the clan accuse you of breaking the rules......" Joseph kindly took Gurung's shoulders and explained something softly, Gurung listened carefully, and nodded lightly from time to time. The larger the family, the more rules there are, and Gurung understands this very well.
As soon as the three of them reached the corner of the main courtyard, they heard a loud noise coming from within the wall. Although the Guiyuan Continent has entered autumn, the hot weather has not changed at all because of the departure of summer, and everyone who was originally in the house came to the shade outside the house to talk to each other because of the stuffy heat.
"Damn*, it's happy, it's really happy, I don't know where Elena found that young boy from that girl, she slapped old Locke's grandson away with one palm, and I heard that she vomited blood, ha
"Uncle, don't you think it's strange? It is rumored that the young man is carrying a giant axe on his back, and he is not more than fifteen years old, but I can't think of any family in Rock City that can cultivate such an excellent young man...... And with Elena's personality, I've never heard of her being so close to a junior in any family......"
Gurung, who had not yet entered the main courtyard, smiled happily after hearing these two familiar voices.
