The Duke Protector's Mansion has been really restless these past two days. They had just driven away Guo Wenlong, and thought they could handle the rest of the matter quietly, but the mysterious man appeared again.

The content of the note this time was to invite Duke Hu and Guo Qikun to get together at a restaurant near the south gate.

That place is the property of the Guo family and is usually used to collect intelligence.

Although it is close to the outskirts of the city, it is also the only way for people from other places to enter the imperial capital.

Compared to other places, the news here may be more extensive.

The location of the mysterious candidate this time also made the Guo family a little confused.

Did he choose it accidentally, or did he do it on purpose?

After their discussion, they all preferred the former.

With anticipation and a little apprehension, they went to see this mysterious man.

What did not surprise them was that Zhu Jiuchen was also there.

Next to him was an unusual-looking old man. His gray hair was meticulously combed, and he wore a white jade crown. He was wearing a smoke-colored gown with some rivers and sails painted on it.

It feels far away when I look at it.

As for his face, although his old appearance can be seen, his eye-catching temperament is even more unforgettable.

"Presumably, this is the world-famous Master Jiuchen, right?" The Protector was quite knowledgeable.

The old man raised his eyes and looked at the Protector.

"Are you the old man from the Guo family?"

Lord Protector and Guo Qikun were both stunned. No one dared to address Lord Protector like that to their face.

"Master, I treat you sincerely, but you have to put on such a big air. Do you really think it's appropriate?"

"Why, I didn't ask you to call me master. You can also call me old man, as long as you can bear the consequences."

At these words, the Protector was a little confused.

I used to think that Yin Suhua was unreasonable and domineering, but now I see this Master Jiuchen, I am really surprised.

"Master invited us here this time just to compare our aura with the old man?"

"If you understand it this way, it doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I haven't encountered an opponent in Dayong for a long time, so I just want to do some exercise."

The Lord Protector felt that Master Jiu Jiuchen seemed to be somewhat hostile to him.

Guo Qikun came out to save the situation at this time: "Thank you, Master, for reminding us to be careful about Guo Wenlong. It's a pity that we didn't understand it at the time, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are now."

Master Jiuchen glanced at Guo Qikun and said: "Perhaps, this is the reason why your Guo family cannot compete with Princess Chu. You are smart, but not smart enough. You have been worshiped on the altar of wealth for too long, and you have forgotten how to survive the crisis.

I always thought that I would have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life, relying on the glory of the first half of my life, I would be able to spend the rest of my life in peace, and I would still be able to turn the tide..."

His words were merciless and even expressionless.

He doesn't need to be polite when dealing with the Guo family.

"Master Jiuchen, we know that you are also an expert in this world. You can build such a famous place at the junction of the Three Kingdoms and make the knowledgeable people from the Three Kingdoms willing to study there and gain something. This is a lot.

An achievement that no one can achieve in his lifetime.”

Guo Qikun thought about trying to get closer to Master Jiuchen.

After all, if the Guo family can use the connections that Master Jiuchen has established in various countries over the years, there will be unlimited bonuses.

It's a pity that Master Jiuchen has already seen through his thoughts: "Marquis Anping, there is no need to show off to me. Even Princess Chu can guess your thoughts. If you want to play tricks on me, isn't it ridiculous?"

Guo Qikun was somewhat embarrassed, but he felt that Master Jiuchen's attitude towards him was a little better than towards his father.

Sure enough, Master Jiuchen then said to the Protector: "My Lord, have you always been complacent in these years? You were able to gain an advantage in the confrontation with the prince, and you also achieved supreme success for the Guo family.

status?"

His repeated challenge to the Protector's self-cultivation is also a headache.

The Protector looked calm and almost suppressed his anger and said, "I wonder what Master has to say?"

"Compared with your ideas, this is no longer a high opinion, but an immortal opinion..."

Master Jiuchen's confidence made Guo Qikun feel a little unreal.

Shouldn't such a superior person keep his expression calm so that no one can see his sadness or joy?

Why is this Master Jiuchen so outspoken?

Zhu Jiuchen's expression on the side was very respectful. No matter what Master Jiuchen said, he never changed.

On the one hand, it shows his admiration for Master Jiuchen, and on the other hand, it also means that he has long been accustomed to Master Jiuchen's behavior.

"Master, it sounds like you know the past of our Guo family very well..." Guo Qikun added another sentence.

Master Jiuchen rolled his eyes at him: "Marquis Anping, you have to learn from my disciple."

Guo Qikun didn't understand and didn't want anyone to see it, so he deliberately said: "Master said that there are still many things I want to learn from Yongning Marquis."

Master Jiuchen tapped the table with his fingers and said coldly: "When elders speak, you should shut up."

After Guo Qikun heard this, he realized what Master Jiuchen was hinting to him just now.

He has no face. Although he is a marquis, he really doesn't dare to put on airs when facing Master Jiuchen, who is famous all over the world, has no name, no title, no merit and no salary.

"Sorry, I offended you so much just now..."

After saying that, he really shut up.

The Protector was unhappy. He called himself an old man and even taught his son a lesson in person. Was this the purpose of inviting him here?

"Master, I already respect you enough. Since you invited us here, please respect us too."

Master Jiuchen seemed not to have heard what the Protector said. He still had the same expression and did not speak.

This atmosphere made the Protector very uncomfortable.

"What do you mean?" He couldn't help it, with anger in his eyes.

"Sure enough, narrowness of breath is not a sign of longevity."

Master Jiuchen's words made Duke Protector's anger boil up.

He stood up suddenly and looked at Master Jiuchen.

Master Jiuchen was very calm, picked up the teapot and filled himself a cup of tea.

The fragrance of tea lingers in, refreshing your heart and mind.

Master Jiuchen took a sip of tea and didn't care about the Protector at all.

Guo Qikun tugged on the corner of Duke Protector's clothes and motioned him to sit down first and not to be impulsive. Duke Protector finally calmed down his temper and sat down slowly.

Seeing the reluctant face of the Protector, Master Jiuchen spoke again: "How could you have wanted to pursue Ah Ruan back then?"

These words made the Protector of the Country jump off his feet again.

"I can't do it, how can you do it?"

"Even if I left him back then, my position in his heart is still unshakable." Master Jiuchen struck softly.
