Turning his head slightly, Zhuo Wen suddenly saw a smiling young man standing behind him. Seeing Zhuo Wen looking at him, the smile on the young man's face became more intense.
"Brother Zhuo Wen, I think you are here to meet the Lord of the City!" the young man said with a graceful smile.
Zhuo Wen stared at the smiling young man in front of him, and said calmly: "Zhuo didn't expect to meet Mr. Gu Shang at the door. He didn't know that Mr. Gu Shang was not staying in the house so early in the morning, but came to the door instead.
What's the matter?"
Looking at the smiling Gu Shang in front of him, Zhuo Wen secretly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. During the battle between Fangshi and Fangshi yesterday, he clearly saw the hatred in Gu Shang's eyes, and he did not hesitate to let his father Gu Xi be involved in the battle between Fangshi and Fangshi.
If it weren't for City Lord Gu Yuetian's intervention, I'm afraid things wouldn't have turned out well.
Now Gu Shang appeared in front of him with a smile on his face, which made Zhuo Wen feel quite abnormal.
"Actually, I was sent here by the City Lord to receive you. I also know that you can't trust me, but the conflict between us is just a small conflict after all! Later, I was taught a lesson by both the City Lord and my father, so for the sake of
To make up for the wrong things I have done, the city lord asked me to come out to receive you personally, brother, today."
"Speaking of which, I also wanted to make meritorious service for my crime. This time I am also trying to make amends to you, so this should be considered as an apology!" Gu Shang, with a smile on his face, took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Zhuo Wen.
"Fourth-grade elixir?" He opened the brocade box slightly, and Zhuo Wen immediately felt the rich medicinal power inside. This medicinal power was comparable to that of human face infant ginseng.
Taking a deep look at Gu Shang, Zhuo Wen put it into the Qiankun bag without politeness, and said with a slight smile: "Since Mr. Gu Shang has already done this, Zhuo will naturally not force others to make things difficult for us.
Naturally, it’s all written off.”
"Brother Zhuo Wen is really quick to talk. I like your personality, brother. Now let's go into the house first and don't keep the city lord waiting!"
Gu Shang breathed a sigh of relief, then patted Zhuo Wen on the shoulder happily, and took Zhuo Wen into the house.
But the moment Gu Shang turned around, a cold light shot out from his eyes. The cold light just flashed by, and a gentle smile soon appeared on Gu Shang's face.
Not long after the two entered the city lord's palace, another beautiful figure appeared from the palace. The beautiful figure was dressed in a light yellow dress, with waterfall-like green silk tied up in a bun behind her head. She had an elegant and graceful temperament.
It emanates from the woman's body, and the most commendable thing is the woman's flawless, well-proportioned and round legs.
This woman was Gu Yue, the daughter of the city lord. Gu Yue stood at the door and glanced around in confusion, and the confusion on her face became more intense.
"Miss Gu Yue!" The guard at the door saluted respectfully to Gu Yue.
"Did you see a young man of about fifteen years old come to the City Lord's Mansion just now?" Gu Yue frowned and asked the guard at the door.
She had clearly agreed with Zhuo Wen to come to the City Lord's Mansion today at Chen's hour, but now that Chen's hour had passed, she didn't expect Zhuo Wen not to come yet, which made her a little unhappy.
"The name of the young man Miss Gu Yue is looking for is Zhuo Wen?" one of the guards said with a flattering smile.
"Yes! It's Zhuo Wen. Has he been here?" Gu Yue nodded and said expectantly.
"That Zhuo Wen did come here, but later he was taken away by Master Gu Shang. It seems that he was taken to see the Lord of the City..."
Before the guard finished speaking, Gu Yue's expression suddenly changed, her figure flashed, and she ran towards the house.
"Father just appointed me to receive Zhuo Wen, and did not mention Gu Shang at all. Gu Shang is too courageous. If Zhuo Wen has any disadvantage, he will just wait for his father's wrath!"
If Gu Yuetian only admired Zhuo Wen at first, but after she informed Gu Yuetian yesterday that Zhuo Wen had a three-life armored soul, Gu Yuetian had begun to value Zhuo Wen.
After all, he possesses a three-life armored soul and has extremely strong mental talent. Such a genius will definitely grow up to be a terrifying powerhouse in the future. Moreover, Zhuo Wen belongs to Tengjia City. If he has a good relationship with Zhuo Wen now, he will be able to grow up later.
After the person becomes a peerless powerhouse, their city lord's mansion will also benefit greatly.
While thinking about it, Gu Yue moved faster and faster, and soon she came to an antique attic.
Pushing open the door, a calm scent of incense slowly spread. There were two figures in the room. One of them, the man in purple sitting in front of the sandalwood table, was the Lord of Tengjia City, Gu Yuetian. The other figure
Standing in front of Gu Yuetian, it turned out to be Gu Shang's father Gu Li.
The two seemed to be talking about something. Due to Gu Yue's violent opening of the door, they both turned to look at the door, their brows slightly furrowed.
When he discovered that the intruder was Gu Yue, Gu Yuetian's brows softened and a gentle smile appeared on his face again and he said: "Yue'er! Didn't you go to pick up Zhuo Wen? Why did you come back so soon? Where is Zhuo Wen now?"
Gu Yue's pretty face was a little gloomy, and she stared indifferently at Gu Xi, who was standing aside with a calm expression, and then said in a deep voice: "Father, Gu Shang falsely conveyed your order to take Zhuo Wen away. As for where he was taken, I did too.
have no idea."
"Oh? Gu Shang took Zhuo Wen away?" The smile on Gu Yuetian's face gradually faded, and a cold light spread from his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at Gu Xi, who looked calm, and said coldly: "Second brother, it was you who leaked the news about Zhuo Wen's arrival this morning to Gu Shang. Tell me, where did you take Zhuo Wen?"
Gu Xi still looked calm. Although he was a little confused about Gu Yuetian's question, after all, in his opinion, Zhuo Wen was just a child of the small Zhuo family, and there was no need to take him seriously.
"Brother! I know that you asked Na Zhuo Wen to come here today to give him a place to compete for the Yuan Qi Tower. However, after all, he is not from our city lord's palace. It may be inappropriate to give it to an outsider like this. So, I will do it myself.
I advocated letting Shang'er take Zhuo Wen to the Criminal Law Hall, that's where that bastard should go." Gu Xi's tone was very calm.
"Gu Li, you have gone too far. The conflict between Zhuo Wen and Gu Shang is simply insignificant, but you are trying to kill them at every turn. Do you know that if you do this, it will bring unimaginable consequences to our City Lord's Mansion in the future?
Of our enemies." Gu Yue finally couldn't help but drink softly, and Xiang Jian was even trembling with anger.
Gu Xi was startled, and then his face turned gloomy. As a junior, Gu Yue actually dared to question him like this, which made him a little embarrassed. He snorted and said: "What kind of threat can that bastard pose to our City Lord's Mansion?
And brother, you also need to discipline Gu Yue, it is really rude to do this."
"You don't know Zhuo Wen at all. He was able to win the battle of resurrection and even kill Yang Reality warriors with the help of Yin Xu Realm. These are not accidental. If you insist on going against Zhuo Wen again, you will really regret it."
At this time, anger had filled Gu Yue's brain, and she didn't know why she was so angry, but as soon as she heard that Zhuo Wen entered the Criminal Law Hall, she was filled with unreasonable anger.
The Criminal Law Hall can be regarded as the most mysterious place in the city lord's palace. It contains extremely vicious prisoners. These prisoners are simply ferocious beasts that kill without blinking an eye. Once someone enters, there is basically no hope of getting out alive.
"It is certain that Zhuo Wen will die this time when he goes to the Criminal Law Hall. The dead will never pose any threat to our city lord's palace. Now it's a done deal. Brother, you should also consider the quota in the vacant vitality tower!"
Gu Xi paid no attention to Gu Yue, but looked at Gu Yuetian, who had been silent all this time.
But when Gu Li saw the terrifyingly calm expression on Gu Yuetian's face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew very well that once Gu Yuetian showed such an expression, it meant that Gu Yuetian, who usually treated others gently, was truly angry.
Already.
"Is he angry because of Zhuo Wen? It's impossible!" Gu Li couldn't help but murmured in his heart.
"Gu Xi, do you think too little of me, your eldest brother? Today I tell you clearly that if Zhuo Wen has any shortcomings, your son Gu Shang will not survive."
A calm and cold voice came from Gu Yuetian's mouth, which immediately made Gu Xiang's mind go blank, and then he said angrily: "Brother, are you confused? Zhuo Wen is just an outsider, Gu Shang is me
Your biological son, your biological nephew, are you going to kill your biological nephew just for an outsider?"
"Shut up! You don't understand Zhuo Wen's situation at all. Let me tell you now that Zhuo Wen is a born three-life armored soul, and his qualifications are even better than his father Zhuo Xiaotian! Do you still remember Zhuo Xiaotian back then?
, that guy reached the Emperor's Realm at the age of twenty-five, and was later made a marquis by the Qing Emperor himself. If he hadn't disappeared just after he was made a marquis, our Tengjia City would have been qualified to be promoted to an intermediate city.
, it may even become a high-end city.”
"And now a genius with even better qualifications than Zhuo Xiaotian has appeared in our Tengjia City. This is another opportunity for our Tengjia City to improve, but you want to cut off this glimmer of hope. The reason is actually
It's just a small contradiction, Gu crack, Gu crack, when did you become so confused?"
Gu Yuetian's expression was still very calm, but the coldness in his words was even worse.
"Three Lives Armored Soul? That bastard is actually Three Lives Armored Soul? But even if he is Three Lives Armored Soul, he may not be able to reach the level of Zhuo Xiaotian! After all, martial arts achievement does not only rely on Armored Soul..."
There was a tremor in Gu Xi's voice, and when he looked at the cold look in Gu Yuetian's eyes, the hairs on his back could not help but stand up.
"Even if his martial arts achievements cannot reach the level of Zhuo Xiaotian, do you know why Master Cangmu accepted this boy as his disciple? Do you think his mental strength is only up to standard?"
"You are wrong again. The result of his mental strength test is high. This is the qualification second only to super! And what does high mental strength mean? You can know it without me telling you. From now on, this child will cultivate his mental strength."
He is at least a level 4 arcanist, and if there is a slight breakthrough, he can even reach a level 5 arcanist."
"Fifth-grade arcanist, he has the same status as a dynasty marquis. As long as he casually mentions it, our Tengjia City will be able to expand its fiefdom. As the grade increases, endless benefits will fall on us.
Body! But if this son dies, our Tengjia City will never have a chance to improve. Even Master Cangmu will leave Tengjia City. By then, other cities that are eyeing us will probably attack us. You know how serious the consequences will be.
?"
When Gu Chai heard this, his face suddenly turned extremely pale. He did not expect that Zhuo Wen's martial arts talent and spiritual talent were so amazing. At this moment, regret gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Hmph! I'll go to the Criminal Law Hall first. If Zhuo Wen really dies unfortunately, your son Gu Shang won't even be able to live. I will do what I say."
After saying that, Gu Yuetian immediately flicked his sleeves and disappeared into the room, leaving Gu Xi alone in a daze, not knowing what to think.
