Everyone in the Gao family present was surprised when they learned Jiang Chen's identity, and their eyes looking at Jiang Chen became strange.
Jiang Chen turned a blind eye and entered the house, and immediately smelled a pungent smell of medicine.
He frowned and saw a big bed placed in the middle. Besides his mother, there was also his uncle, Gao Ke.
Gao Ke was surprised by the arrival of Gao Yue and Jiang Chen, and his eyes showed extreme uneasiness.
But seeing Gao Yue's sad look, he didn't say anything.
Lying on the big bed was a frail old man, tortured by illness, skinny as a stick, with prominent features on his face.
"Yue'er?"
The old man tilted his head with difficulty, and his surprised eyes fell on Gao Yue.
"Father!"
Gao Yue could no longer control herself, lying on the bed and holding that hand.
"Yue'er, father is sorry for you."
The old man's eyes gradually became moist. He stroked his daughter's hair with his hand, his lips trembled a few times and said, "Do you hate me?"
"No, I don't hate it. My father can't help himself."
Gao Yue shook her head quickly. From the day she took the poison, she didn't have any hatred.
These words gave the old man great comfort, and the pain on his face eased a lot.
"Brother, why did father become like this?"
Gao Yue asked Gao Ke next to her.
Gao Ke pursed his lips. Facing his sister, whom he had not seen for nearly twenty years, his complex expression showed his inner suffering.
"The doctor said it was caused by a heart disease, which affected one's spiritual practice. By the time they discovered it, it was already too late," Gao Ke said.
Undoubtedly, these words made Gao Yue feel very guilty.
"You shouldn't have come back." Gao Ke sighed and shook his head.
"Didn't you send someone to call us here?" Jiang Chen said.
Gao Ke seemed to have noticed Jiang Chen just now, and naturally he didn't look at him well, especially in the current situation.
"Yue'er, is this your child?"
The old man suddenly spoke, interrupting what Gao Ke was about to say.
"Chen'er, come here quickly and meet your grandpa." Gao Yue said hurriedly.
Jiang Chen walked to the bedside and met the old man's eyes.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's expression changed and he carefully observed the old man's body.
"Child, come here." The old man said.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then put his head to the other person's mouth.
"Run! Get your mother out of here!"
After the old man finished speaking, he began to cough violently and his face looked uncomfortable.
"Get out of the way!"
Gao Ke roughly pushed Jiang Chen away, stood beside the bed, and gave the old man a pill.
Soon, the old man stopped coughing and fell asleep.
"Brother, why don't you continue to invite the doctor?" Gao Yue asked.
Gao Ke did not answer the question and said: "You shouldn't have come back, and you shouldn't have detoxified."
"Is it possible that my mother should be weak and helpless for the rest of her life?" Jiang Chen asked.
"That's better than losing what your mother stood for."
Gao Ke started talking to him, still in an aggressive tone.
"Do you know that when a person with pure blood appears in a family, what is the greatest contribution to the family?"
"What?" Jiang Chen asked confused.
"Just give birth to offspring and continue this pure bloodline! Then, look at you now!" Gao Ke said.
"Are the envied warriors of the inherited family going to be reduced to mating like animals?" Jiang Chen retorted.
"This is for the strength of the family!" Gao Ke said angrily.
"That's wrong..."
"Are you telling me that the Sanctuary has discovered that the marriage of the inheritance family is meaningless? Then tell me, your mother's phoenix blood is so pure, why haven't you even reached the rarefied level?" Gao Ke interrupted him,
His gaze is like a torch.
"elder brother."
Gao Yue was about to tell Jiang Chen that he was a man of true blood.
"Ning Haotian from Black Dragon City, the dragon blood in her mother's body was so thin that she wanted to marry far away to the Fire Realm, but her son's dragon blood turned out to be the purest in the Murong family in these years."
Jiang Chen remembered what the old man said just now, and he didn't plan to say it out now and steal his mother's words.
"In this matter, I know that the strength of the Murong family will rise to a higher level. As far as I know, you have a chance to kill that Ning Haotian!" Gao Ke said.
"I will risk his life to ensure my father's safety!"
"Yes, because of your father, the Gao family has become a joke in the inherited family, and because of your father, the Murong family has posed the greatest threat to the Gao family in hundreds of years." Gao Ke shouted.
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and didn't want to answer.
"Brother, Chen'er, please stop arguing."
Gao Yue said angrily.
Jiang Chen would naturally not disobey his mother's words, but Gao Ke was also very obedient.
"Brother, I want to stay and take care of my father, can you make arrangements?" Gao Yue asked again.
"You can't leave now if you want to," Gao Ke said.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Did Uncle San bring you here?" Gao Ke asked.
"Yes."
"Uncle San is no longer from our side, he has defected to Gao Yan." Gao Ke said.
"Gao Yan? Could it be?" Gao Yue immediately heard the seriousness of the matter, and his sadness eased a lot.
"If you were here, Gao Yan would have no thoughts at all. But since you left, he has begun to form cliques for personal gain and seek to become the head of the family."
Gao Ke said: "It was because of his hard work that my father had to choose to let you take poison."
Jiang Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that the matter had this level.
His resentment towards his grandfather was that as the head of the family, even if his mother violated the family's ideals, she would not be so righteous in killing her relatives.
"Then what does he want to do now?" Gao Yue asked.
"After the poison on your body was detoxified, the family felt that your phoenix blood had recovered, and we had discussed it."
"Some people say that after so many years, they ignore it, and some people think that the noble phoenix blood should not form a lineage in a place like the Fire Domain."
"There are many people who support the latter, but I suppress them because of my father's physical condition."
"But Gao Yan said that day that the Murong family is eyeing you and they should call you back and marry you to the alliance."
After hearing the end, Gao Yue immediately said: "Impossible!"
"But now that you are here, they have the opportunity to implement it. If you refuse, they will ask you to take poison again, or take away your phoenix blood." Gao Ke said.
"Then come on, there is no way I will get married."
"What is an alliance?" Jiang Chen asked.
"The strength and power of all alliances formed by inherited families are supreme."
"When did Longyu have this alliance?" Jiang Chen had stayed in Longyu for a while, but he had never heard of any alliance.
"There is no one in the Dragon Realm, not in the whole world. The alliance is in the Tianhe Realm."
At this moment, there were heavy footsteps outside the door, followed by noise.
There was a conflict between the people who were guarding the door and the people who came.
"Let Gao Yue come out, we have something to say."
"Young lady is not someone you can call and leave. If you want to see her, just wait here!"
