Dark clouds obscure the moon.

In the Gu family's meeting hall, the faces of the elderly sitting at the top were gloomy, and there was a thick stack of letters piled up beside them.

These are all handed in by the heads of the Gu family's various cities in Longxi City all day today, and they are all mercenaries who cooperate with their family, or letters sent by shops in other cities, among which the words are euphemistic, some are decisive, but all of them are reminder letters, there are as many as 67 letters.

"Bang!"

The three elders, who had an impatient temperament, slapped the table angrily and said sharply: "This group of miscellaneous people who saw the wind and steered the rudder were almost on their knees and begged us to borrow money at the beginning, but now that they learned that kid failed to lead the stars into the body, one by one they are so presumptuous, is it really so easy for our Gu family to provoke! Millions of gold coins are just a few million gold coins! Return them, return them all, and our Gu family will not have any more dealings with them in the future!"

"Third Elder!" Before the third elder's words fell, an old man above his left side interrupted: "Don't be reckless, our Gu family can naturally afford the money, but what about the gathering after January?" The Gu family still needs to buy some heavenly and earthly treasures on it, especially the star spirit fruit, you know, our clan has not much inventory anymore." ”

After hearing this, the three elders' previous arrogance was all subdued, and they sat down in their chairs with some dejection.

Star Spirit Fruit is a kind of fruit that grows in the Star Dou Continent, on the periphery of the Demon Beast Forest, its appearance is vermilion, and it is adjacent to a companion demon beast called the Colorful Hummingbird, its flesh is delicious, and it is often treated as a spirit fruit by some big clans, but for a small clan like the Gu family, its importance is definitely not in this appetite.

As a kind of spiritual fruit that can help children attract stars into the body and stabilize the meridians, for the current Gu family, its importance is naturally self-evident.

If Gu Chensheng can successfully attract stars into the body, the Gu family has such a promising genius in the future, even if he loses millions of gold coins, he doesn't have to worry about capital turnover, but he is afraid that someone will intentionally give it away in order to tie up the Gu family.

It's a pity that the tiger fell into Pingyang, and in the past, they had many friendships in business, but after learning that Gu Chensheng was a century-old waste, they all showed their sharp teeth hidden behind their smiles, they were afraid that the Gu family would be in a state of collapse from now on, and they were worried that the industry of the three major families in Dragon Breath City would be swallowed up by other forces, and the gold coins they lent suddenly were afraid that they would never come back.

Thinking of this, the three elders clenched their fists, still a little angry, and said: "Such a desperate bet, I didn't expect to cultivate such a waste! If it weren't for the patriarch not returning, I would definitely ask for a palm to slap this little cub to death!"

"Alas, how can we blame all the blame on that little fellow? Now that the patriarch has not returned for a long time, and the great elder is not in the clan, everything should still be properly handled... The journey to the Dragon Kiln Sect is a long one, and hopefully things won't get worse during this time. ”

The second elder waved his hand, ignoring the third elder who was still angry, he turned his head to look at the group of leaders of the major fang markets below who did not dare to speak out, and said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that our Gu family will not fall to that point, you don't need to pay attention to these debt collection letters after you go back, the fang market will operate as usual, and the wages of the guys will be paid, but you should send more deacons from the Wuge to guard and prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble." ”

"Yes!" the lord of the city bowed and said.

"And..."The second elder hesitated for a moment and continued: "The list of Gu family's entry into the Pavilion over there in the Star Gazing Pavilion, remove Gu Chensheng." ”

"Hmph!" The third elder snorted coldly when he heard this, but he didn't say more, the genius of the past, he could not enter the Star Gazing Pavilion again, although such a punishment was not serious, but it was enough to calm the dissatisfaction of some of the clansmen.

...

Under the dim light, a little silver frost was already falling from the sky.

Gu Chensheng was lying in a dilapidated cabin, his body was very weak, and the backlash caused by the failure to attract stars into his body made it difficult for him to calm down in the sea of consciousness.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open.

A middle-aged woman dressed as a maid walked in slowly, holding a pot of charcoal fire in her hands and gently placing it on the side of the bed.

Raising her gaze slightly, the woman looked at Gu Chensheng lying on the bed with some kindness, and after her eyes touched him, she hurriedly moved away and lowered her head silently.

"You're awake," the woman asked.

Gu Chensheng opened his mouth, but his throat couldn't make the slightest sound, he clearly knew that the woman in front of him was his mother in this life.

As for the dress on her body, Gu Chensheng only thought about it a little and already knew it.

Since Gu Renjie became the head of the family, according to the rules set by the ancestors, all side houses are not allowed to live in the Gu family's compound, and Gu Chensheng's mother, because of this rule, has been living in a house outside the Gu family.

Today is a big day for Gu Chensheng to attract stars into his body, and his mother went to plead with the Great Elder to take her to watch the ceremony, and this maid dress must be a disguise to be mixed in the Gu family's ranks.

Because he couldn't make a sound for the time being, Gu Chensheng had to endure the pain and squeeze out a smile.

However, because Chensheng's mother kept her head down, his actions were not seen by him.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Gu Chensheng, who had recovered a little, opened his eyes, and he was the only one left in the cabin.

He got up and walked out of the house, looked around, looked at the house he was in, and couldn't help but start shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "I can't imagine that even the guest room that the Gu family has abandoned for many years has been set a precedent by me again, sure enough, in this world, should the waste people be treated like this." ”

"Alas. Sighing softly, Gu Chensheng walked towards the side door, he didn't look for the woman, because in his hazy consciousness, he seemed to hear her murmuring, as she could not appear in the Gu family, she naturally needed to return to her residence before dawn.

And Gu Chensheng, even if it is abolished, it is not a side house that she can take away privately.

Subconsciously looking into his pocket, Gu Chensheng was stunned to find that the small ornament he had been wearing for a long time in the past had disappeared, and he was wearing the robe that he had changed when he introduced the stars into his body yesterday.

"Alas, it should have landed in the Stargazing Pavilion. Sighing slightly, Gu Chensheng walked on the street a little unwillingly, and the heavy snow all night made every step a little difficult for him.

Outside the Stargazing Pavilion, Gu Chensheng was about to go in, when two family deacons stopped in front of him, and the cold words made Gu Chensheng a little dazed.

The windows on the top floor of the attic were staggered by a gap, and after a few moments the noise in the loft subsided. It didn't take long for a small head to poke out from inside, and the child led by him glanced at Gu Chensheng downstairs, and deliberately said loudly in a very flat tone: "Oh, it's a goose feather snowfall, and on this day, I can't see the hundred-year-old stars of our Dragon Breath City." ”

"Brother Tie, what a hundred years of stars, a hundred years of laughter is almost the same. Many more children chimed in.
