Chapter Thirty-Nine: Bringing the King into the Urn
"Is this true?" Gu Cheng asked with a little embarrassment on his face.
"The fourth brother doesn't know, since the outbreak of the ** incident, Huo Dongcheng has been talking a lot, and in addition, with the help of hostile forces, now the reputation of our ancient family has deteriorated, and all business activities have been greatly impacted. ”
Gu Chengyan took the words as if he was prepared, and said to Gu Chengyou.
"Second brother, has it really come to this point?" asked Gu Cheng with a slightly puzzled look on his face.
"Fourth brother, do you know that in a month, the triennial large-scale auction will be held?" Gu Chengyan suddenly changed the topic and asked Gu Chengyou.
"Yes, is there any variables here?" Gu Chengyou pondered for a moment and asked in surprise.
"That's not it, the fourth brother doesn't know, some time ago, someone handed over a wisp of extremely pure chaos fire to the auction, and it was going to be auctioned publicly in a month. Gu Chengyan recounted with a calm face.
"What?" Gu Chengyou Huo Ran stood up, his face shocked, his face full of joy and entanglement.
"Fourth brother, do you know which auction the person with the Chaos Fire will hand over the Chaos Fire to?" Gu Chengyan continued to sell Guan Zi, following the good and tempting way.
"Listening to the meaning of the second brother, there is no matter of our ancient family. Gu Chengyou quickly adjusted his mood and guessed straightforwardly.
"As the fourth brother said, the Chaos Fire is currently at the auction where the Linghu family is located, and after our Gu family heard about this, they once sent someone to contact the person who owned the Chaos Fire in private, but it turned out to be a mess. Gu Chengyan continued to narrate with a calm face.
Gu Cheng's right face was slightly wrinkled, and he thought for a while and said, "Second brother, could it be that this person has a prejudice against our Gu family?"
"Exactly, this person was swayed by the ** things and gossip outside, and he was extremely suspicious of the credibility of our ancient family, and he was even more disdainful and maliciously slandered, which made our ancient family lose face. Gu Chengyan shook his head sadly and said sadly.
There was silence here for a while, and Gu Chengyan continued: "Fourth brother, not only that, the Linghu family used this as a breakthrough to publicize the ** behavior of our Gu family, but also brought Wen Yinan and Linghu Maocai to the front desk, damaging the image of our Gu family. The auction items collected by our Gu family this year are extremely rare, and there are even fewer gimmicks and valuable objects. On the other hand, the Linghu family not only has Chaos Fire, an earth-shattering thing. The rest of the auction items that are slightly inferior in value also include the magic weapon of the Yan Immortal Ruler, the Four Elephant Pill Cultivation Pill, the Sulfur Lin Grass Immortal Grass, and the Lonely Wind Secret Book Cultivation Exercises, etc., which left our Gu family far behind, and if it goes on, our Gu family has completely lost face in Huodong City. ”
Gu Cheng's right face was uncertain, and he looked at Gu Zichen and Gu Zitai who were standing at the bottom of the head and were speechless for a long time.
Gu Chengyan was also interested in no longer continuing to sow discord, and simply closed his eyes and said nothing, as if his previous tirade had nothing to do with him, but Gu Chengyan was a little excited in his heart.
Brother for many years, Gu Chengyan knows Gu Chengyou very well, and knows that although Gu Chengyou is strict and fair, he also has ** in his heart, for example, Gu Chengyou has been looking for fire attribute spiritual fire for many years in order to refine an extremely powerful fire attribute magic weapon, but he still has not found a satisfactory spiritual fire.
Throwing out the chaotic fire by himself, there is no doubt that it scratched Gu Chengyou's itch. Chaos Fire, as the best of the fire attribute spiritual fire, is the top existence, and the bonus to refining the fire attribute magic weapon is absolutely unprecedented, once it is missed, Gu Chengyou will regret it for the rest of his life.
When Gu Chengyou heard it for the first time, although he tried his best to hide it, and there was no mistake in dealing with it later, he still exposed signs of uneasiness, which made Gu Chengyan ecstatic in his heart.
Gu Chengyan had no doubt that Gu Chengyou had already heard his own voice, and cooperated with him to take down Gu Zichen, and he would go all out to help him seize the Chaos Fire.
Gu Chengyan smiled, looking at Gu Chengyou, who was groaning, his heart was stirring, all this is a game, a bureau against Gu Zichen but not only Gu Zichen.
This game was planned by Gu Chengyan, first through Gu Zitai to introduce Gu Zichen into the game, and he threw out the chaos fire to hook Gu Chengyou's **, and the two were merged to take Gu Zichen down, which was completely effortless.
Silence, under the weight of Gu Chengyou, there was silence for about ten minutes before Gu Cheng spoke on the right side: "Gu Zichen, after listening to what your second uncle said, what other words do you have to discriminate, do you know how much our Gu family has suffered because of your fault!"
"It's done!"
Gu Chengyan's face was calm, but he shook his arm fiercely in his heart and thought silently.
Gu Zitai was even more difficult to control, and the joy on his face was undisguised.
"Dean, nephew, I don't know what your intentions are, my nephew is here to report Gu Zitai for blatantly violating family rules, as for what the second uncle said, my nephew has no obligation to discern. Gu Zichen raised his head and stared at Gu Chengyou, who was above, and replied without timidity.
"Gu Zichen, when death is imminent, you still have to quibble. The fourth uncle is the head of the Discipline Academy, and he has the right to supervise the words and deeds of the disciples of the family, and if you are so rude, you can be convicted of disrespecting your elders. Gu Zitai kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and when he heard what Gu Zichen said, he immediately ridiculed each other.
"Dean, according to the family rules, if you want to question your nephew's culpability, someone must publicly report your nephew and report the crime you have committed. Gu Zichen glanced at Gu Zitai, didn't bother to entangle with him, saluted respectfully to Gu Chengyou, and explained.
Gu Chengyan and the three of them had calm faces, as if they were confident, and sat calmly.
Gu Chengyou frowned, and his heart sank, he was in a hurry to act just now, but Gu Zichen caught the loophole and made a big joke, if this matter was spread, he would definitely be remembered by the patriarch.
Just when Gu Cheng's right face was entangled, Gu Zitai's body straightened, with a posture of looking at death as if he were at home, and said with great ambition: "Gu Zichen, don't have sharp teeth, I, Gu Zitai, will publicly report you now, report your mistakes, and cause serious consequences to the family." ”
Gu Chengyan and the three of them nodded slightly, Gu Cheng's right brow Su Zhan, and quickly took over the words, and asked stylizedly: "Gu Zitai, you have to think clearly, once you report the wreck, the responsibility is not light." ”
"Dean, my nephew is willing to take responsibility for what he says, and I also ask the dean to accept my nephew's request. Gu Zitai patted his chest and replied.
"Since you dare to act, I will" Gu Chengyou was just about to accept Gu Zitai's report, and at this moment, Gu Zichen shouted loudly: "Dean, please slow down, I have something to say." ”
Gu Chengyou, Gu Chengyan and the others frowned unconsciously, looking at Gu Zichen and not knowing what tricks he was playing.
"Gu Zichen, have you ever been humble enough to interrupt the words of the dean. Gu Zitai didn't think about it, and immediately laid a charge on Gu Zichen.
"Lord Dean, it's not that my nephew is deliberately interrupting you, but that I'm worried that you'll make a mistake again. Gu Zichen deliberately squeezed Gu Chengyou, paused, looked at Gu Chengyou's frowning brows, and continued: "According to the family rules, Gu Zitai is now a guilty person, and he has no authority to report other people. ”
"You talk nonsense, you say I violated the house rules, but there is any physical evidence, human evidence. As soon as Gu Zichen's words fell, Gu Zitai suddenly jumped up and shouted at Gu Zichen.
"I also ask the Dean to act impartially. Gu Zichen ignored Gu Zitai, who was shouting, and bowed respectfully to Gu Cheng again.
Gu Cheng's right face was unhappy, he didn't expect Gu Zichen to act so unreasonably, making him a little tired of coping, which was something he had never done.
Gu Chengyan was even more unhappy in his heart, his face was pale, he had seen and comprehended Gu Zichen's eloquence in the Pranya Hall before, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard again and again in this fully advantageous situation.
Gu Chengyan knew very well that there was only one Gu Zitai among the three generations of disciples here, and only he could report Gu Zichen, including the four people present, who could not step down at all, and personally went into battle with Gu Zichen shirtless and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Not to mention reporting Gu Zichen in person, even if he reported Gu Zichen and took it down, he would lose the good situation he had created, giving Gu Zichen's father, Gu Chengjin, an excuse to fight back.
Gu Chengyou's four people looked at each other a few times, Gu Chengyou, as the landlord, couldn't be silent all the time, and said: "Gu Zichen, Gu Zitai is just a sinful body, and you have no evidence to prove that he violated the family rules, I hereby judge that he is qualified to report to you." ”
