Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Tiger Descends the Mountain
After a long time, Gao Songlin recovered from his sadness, and after closing the coffin lid, his face gradually returned to calm, and he thanked Xu Qing repeatedly. It's not that he doesn't love his son enough, but his position determines the heavy responsibility he carries on his shoulders, and he knows that Xu Qing won't just send his son home for burial, otherwise he wouldn't have said that at first.
"The head of the Gao family, you don't have to thank me, Gao Han and I are brothers, and we have a deep friendship, and I am also responsible for a large part of his death. I was supposed to come over a few months ago, but I hope forgive me for being delayed for a while because of the foundation building. Xu Qing said bitterly that Gao Han's death did have a lot to do with him, and it could even be said that he indirectly killed Gao Han. If it weren't for the fact that he was rewarded by the Cloud Heaven Sect and urgently needed to improve his strength, he would definitely send Gao Han back to the Gao family first and then build a foundation.
"Building a foundation?" Gao Songlin heard this word keenly, and his heart was shocked. He himself has a cultivation of the eleventh layer of qi refining, he originally thought that the other party's cultivation is about the twelfth layer of qi refining at most, or the great consummation of qi refining, and the reason why he can't see through the other party's strength is mostly because of the exercises he has cultivated.
It's just that I didn't expect the other party to have such a talent, and he has successfully built a foundation at the age of about twenty, which is really amazing. The core disciples of the Yuntian Sect are really all extremely talented, but thinking of this, his eyes darkened, originally his children could have achieved such an achievement, but they fell unexpectedly, is it really the heavens that are going to kill my Gao family?
As for what Xu Qing said about Gao Han's death had a lot to do with him, Gao Songlin only thought that Xu Qing was blaming himself for failing to protect Gao Han, because there was already news from Yuntian Sect that Gao Han was killed by a demon powerhouse, so he didn't dig deeper.
"Since Childe and Han'er are friends, if you are the head of the family, it will seem to be angry, if Childe does not dislike it, you can call me uncle. Gao Songlin said sincerely.
"It's also right to call your uncle, the little nephew Liu Yang has seen his uncle. To be on the safe side, Xu Qing did not use his real name, but Liu Yang's.
"Haha, there's no need to be polite to my nephew. Gao Songlin said with a smile, as if he had forgotten Gao Han's death.
"Uncle, in addition to sending Gao Han home for burial, there is one more thing that needs to be done this time. Gao Han often mentioned his sister to us before his death, and we can see that he loves his sister very much, and he has always said that he will help his sister break off the marriage, so I want to fulfill his wish for him. Xu Qing called Gao Songlin by name.
"Virtuous nephew, this matter must be considered in the long run. Gao Songlin's face struggled several times before he sighed and said.
"The Tao family is going to make a move against the Gao family sooner or later, I think my uncle should know this better than anyone else, is there anything else to hesitate about?" Xu Qing saw that Gao Songlin seemed to be a little hesitant, and his face became unhappy, the main purpose of coming to the Gao family this time was to fulfill Gao Han's last wish and help his sister dissolve the marriage contract.
"Could it be that Uncle is worried about the strength of the Tao family?" Xu Qing asked with a move in his heart.
Gao Songlin was silent and acquiesced to Xu Qing's words.
"As far as the little nephew knows, the Tao family has two early foundation building monks, the Gao family has one foundation building early monk, and the Hong family has one foundation building monk, even if the Gao family and the Hong family are united, they can barely compete with the Tao family, and now with me, isn't it enough to compete with the Tao family?" Xu Qing asked puzzled.
"The grandfather of the second son of the Tao family has already advanced to the middle stage of foundation building a few years ago, if it weren't for Han'er becoming a core disciple of Yuntian Sect, they would have scruples, I'm afraid they would have taken action directly.
Now that Han'er has passed away, although we try our best to hide it, Han'er's death still let them know, the Tao family has been peeping at my Gao family for a long time, so naturally they will not let go of this opportunity, but the second son of the Tao family is determined to win my daughter, and the head of the Tao family loves the second son of the Tao family very much, so the two families can be preserved temporarily, but on the day of the wedding, whether the Gao family and the Hong family can exist depends entirely on the mood of the Tao family.
The virtuous nephew should know the gap between the early and middle stages, and even with the addition of the virtuous nephew, our odds of winning are not very great. But that's not up to me anymore, I'll take you to meet Han'er's grandfather right now. Gao Songlin sighed, and then got up to lead Xu Qing.
"In the middle stage of foundation building, hmph, cultivation is not compared by the realm alone. Xu Qing was slightly shocked in his heart, but then he secretly snorted coldly in his heart, no matter what, he had to fulfill Gao Han's wish.
His mana is strong, far beyond the same level, although it is still a little difficult to defeat the mid-term, but at least he can contain the other party, and when the Gao family and the Hong family join forces to kill another foundation building monk, then as long as he does not advance again in a few years, there is no other possibility except to fall. Is it just that he could advance again in such a short period of time?
The tall pine forest leads the way for Xu Qing in front, and on the curved and quiet path, pieces of yellow leaves fall with the wind, sprinkled on both sides of the road, and the white petals dance lightly in the wind, and the charming fragrance refreshes people's hearts.
"Uncle, don't let some outsiders know about my existence later, so as not to affect future plans. Xu Qing said with a smile, at this moment he already had a vague plan in his heart, and he must not let the Tao family take precautions against him before the plan is implemented.
"You can rest assured that no outsiders will know about your existence. Gao Songlin agreed without hesitation, even if Xu Qing didn't say it today, he would do it. To be the head of the family, it is natural that it will not be some ignorant and short-sighted people, who are not far-sighted and thoughtful people.
The Gao family's house is very large, with winding paths, and Gao Songlin took Xu Qing along the winding path to a remote corner of the backyard. A slightly austerely decorated pavilion stood in the distance, and its side was empty, with no other buildings, and it seemed lonely.
"Han'er's grandfather's cultivation has reached the foundation building period, because he likes to be quiet, so he lives here, and the virtuous nephew, please come with me. Gao Songlin led the way and explained to Xu Qing.
Walking to the attic, Gao Songlin tapped lightly on the door, and then respectfully waited for a reply from inside.
"Come in. After a few breaths, a majestic and solemn voice came from inside the door, and when Gao Songlin heard this, he gently pushed the wooden door open, and then led Xu Qing in.
Pushing the door in, inside is a living room dedicated to entertaining guests.
The living room is elegantly decorated, without any trace of luxury. On one of the walls of the living room, there is a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, the tiger is very expressive, and the body unconsciously reveals the demeanor of a king. Its eyes are sharp, its posture is vigorous, and its power to dominate the world is undoubted.
The tiger roared in the mountains and forests, and the tiger was originally the king of all beasts in the mountains and forests. The tiger descended the mountain, and the mountains and forests were too small for the tiger, and the king of beasts could no longer satisfy it, so it needed to go down.
It is clear that the man who painted this picture had great ambitions in his heart, and he had a great thirst for power and power. This is a man of strong conquest, who wants all to submit to his feet, to be called a king like a tiger.
At this time, a man about forty or fifty years old was walking into the living room from the inner room, his steps were steady and powerful, his eyes were restrained, and the breath on his body was also vague. The middle-aged man's face looked very majestic, which was the momentum and demeanor cultivated by being in a high position for a long time.
