Chapter 23: The Father and the Son
Tiredly closing his eyes, the day passed quietly.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door outside the room: "Young Master Gu, the patriarch ordered you to go to the front hall, saying that it was Master Murong of the Dragon Kiln Sect who visited." ”
Gu Chensheng, who was already dressed neatly and was practicing drawing talisman arrays, stopped his movements, pushed open the door and said to Fu Bo, who came to speak, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”
Following Fu Bo all the way through, Gu Chensheng was inevitably a little surprised, "There are too many clansmen I met today." ”
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about it.
Approaching the hall, a pungent smell of wine came to his face, Gu Chensheng frowned, looked at the hall with some surprise, and then his eyes stayed on Master Murong who was chatting with Gu Renjie.
"This guy seems to be very chic in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday. ”
Sighing helplessly, Gu Chensheng walked into the hall, and then saw a few people seated in the room, which made him stunned again, "Father, elders, several uncles, Master Murong." ”
Gu Chensheng saluted everyone one by one, but he was wondering why these uncles, who had not seen him for many years, were also in the hall at this time.
"Chensheng, come here. Master Murong is here to help you treat your sword wounds this time. Seeing Gu Chensheng coming, Gu Renjie and Master Murong also stopped talking.
"Little one... Belch... Come... Belch... Leak out of your chest..."
Avoiding Master Murong's outstretched hand with black lines, Gu Chensheng said helplessly, "Master, right here?"
"Hurry up, I... Belch... After the treatment... I still have to go to sleep..."Gu Chensheng, who doesn't know how much wine this person has drunk, really doesn't want to show his chest and belly in public, but looking at this drunken Master Murong, he can't be too serious about it.
"Alas..."Sighing lightly again, Gu Chensheng had to slowly remove the clothes on his upper body, revealing his body that was as condensed as white fat jade.
Everyone looked sideways, even the previous uncles who deliberately ignored Gu Chensheng's greeting, after seeing the terrifying wound that destroyed the perfection, they couldn't help but be a little speechless, "I didn't expect what the third elder said to be true... This kid is so ruthless!"
"Hmph, what's the use of being ruthless! How much money did our Gu family waste to cultivate him, and this little waste actually tried to die in vain?"
The sound of muffled chattering echoed through the hall.
It was only after everyone felt Gu Renjie's cold gaze that they relented.
Gu Chensheng stood in place without changing his face, as if the waste in these words was not him at all.
Master Murong came to him, drunken and hazy, took out a dark blue elixir from the star ring, handed it to Gu Chensheng and said, "Eat it." ”
"Oh. Responding casually, Gu Chensheng, who took the pill, stared at him, and said in his heart: "Isn't this the cyan pill in the pill box, but the quality of the pill in front of me seems to be worse..."
Thinking like this, Gu Chensheng did not hesitate, raised his head and swallowed the dark cyan pill.
Immediately, he felt a warm current running down his throat and straight into his abdomen, feeling the pain in his chest gradually relieving, Gu Chensheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Master Murong, I feel much better..."
Before he finished his words, he heard Master Murong say with a smile: "Little guy, don't be too happy!"
After that, a huge pain no less than a sharp sword penetrating through the body struck, and with Gu Chensheng's toughness, he couldn't help but exhale in pain.
"Uh!" Gritting his teeth fiercely, Gu Chensheng looked at the short knife that pierced his chest with some astonishment.
And the owner holding the short knife was naturally Master Murong, although he was not so brain-dead that he regarded this Holy Tattoo Master as an assassin, but being stabbed defenselessly would always make Gu Chensheng a little resentful.
Everyone in the audience was also in a trance by this sudden scene, and they heard Master Murong say: "The little guy endures a little bit, don't cut off those carrion, I'm afraid that most of the medicinal effect of this Qingling Pill will be lost!"
Listening to Master Murong's explanation, everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, but a few of them were really worried about Gu Chensheng's life, so it was unknown.
"Master... Are you so rude in treating other people in the Dragon Kiln Sect!" Resisting the urge to scold his mother, Gu Chensheng said viciously.
"Not really... But didn't you, kid, doubt the level of this master... Belch... This time it just happened... Let you see and understand. ”
Listening to this sentence that deliberately lowered his voice, but the words came into his ears very clearly, Gu Chensheng didn't know what expression to make for a while, except for a wry smile.
This flesh-cutting treatment really took some time, except for the knife that deliberately punished Gu Chensheng at the beginning, Master Murong also completely revealed his skills as a holy tattoo master.
"All right, little one. I'll be back tomorrow this time. ”
Gu Chensheng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and looked at Master Murong without looking back after saying goodbye to Gu Renjie, and suddenly had an urge to rush up and give him a kick.
Several family servants were washing the blood stains on the ground, and the few uncles who had seen the previous scene did not speak for a while.
Finally, the silence reached a climax.
A middle-aged man sitting below the three elders couldn't help but speak: "Patriarch, since Chensheng is no longer able to cultivate, shouldn't it be Xiao'er's turn to use those heavenly and earthly treasures given by the Dragon Kiln Sect this time?"
"Gu You, your son is already in his twenties, and he has long passed the golden age of cultivation, isn't it a waste to give him resources! I'm different, my daughter will be ten years old next month..."
"Fuck off, where did you get your daughter, oh! she couldn't have been born from outside with her lady behind her back!"
"Damn, I don't care about your sons and daughters, a few years ago, I did a lot of work for Chensheng..."
"Are the two crooked melons and cracked dates you gave me worth 1,000 gold coins..."
Listening to the people who were arguing again because of the compensation, Gu Chensheng rubbed his eyebrows, turned around and left this hall with a strong philistine atmosphere.
Exhaling deeply, out of the corner of Gu Chensheng's eyes, he suddenly saw Gu Renjie leaning against the fence.
Seeing that the other party was waving at him, Gu Chensheng walked over quickly.
"Father...", gently spit out this somewhat strange title, Gu Chensheng scratched his head, and didn't say much.
"Chensheng, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Gu Chensheng looked up in amazement, looking at the soft gaze that he had never seen before, his nose suddenly soured, he nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head.
"Don't worry, say it boldly... I used to be too strict with you, after all, as the head of the family, the family... Hey, what are you talking about..."
"Smack!" A crisp sound interrupted what Gu Renjie was about to say next.
