Chapter 770 The old bastard and the little bastard
Mr. Guo loves his disciples more than he loves his descendants?
This thing seems incredible, but it is actually not difficult to understand.
Because for an old guy who has lived for a thousand years, his view of world affairs is absolutely different from ordinary people.
To give a simple example, Mr. Guo may not even recognize the descendants of the Guo family three generations later, the so-called great-grandsons or great-great-grandsons, and may not even know their names.
However, Mr. Guo could name the disciples he accepted, even if they were disciples and grandchildren, and even knew the temperaments and hobbies of most of them.
Because the heirs of the Guo family are often busy with Guo family affairs, many worldly affairs, and even many fights for power and profit, which the old man dislikes very much.
But the disciples, disciples and grandchildren are different, because the disciples, disciples and grandchildren are not blood relatives, and they will not participate in the struggle for the rights of the Guo family, so this relationship is purer and less entangled with interests.
What's more important is that the disciples and disciples only come here to learn alchemy, and they often stay by the old master's side, either humbly asking for advice, serving on his side, or studying each other's alchemy skills. The descendants of the Guo family may not go there if they have nothing important to do.
When meeting the old man, even some of the younger generation people have never seen Mr. Guo at all, but his disciples, disciples and grandchildren can often see him.
Over time, in the eyes of Mr. Guo, his disciples and grandchildren are certainly much closer to him than ordinary heirs.
The head of the Xia family was extremely talented in alchemy, and he was already valued by Mr. Guo and was his close disciple. Later, the head of the Xia family even married his most beloved daughter. Therefore, part of Mr. Guo's love for his little daughter naturally transferred.
It’s up to the head of the Xia family.
Therefore, after the conflict between the son-in-law of the Xia family and the direct descendant of the Guo family, Mr. Guo became more biased towards the Xia family.
Especially after the incident involving the burning of the Alchemy Building, there were even rumors among the Guo family that Mr. Guo wanted to hand over the inheritance rights of the Guo family to his son-in-law.
This incident scared Guo Xingzhou to death. Fortunately, the head of the Xia family had some integrity. He didn't want to be looked down upon by the Guo family, and he really didn't want to fight with the direct descendants of the Guo family, so more than thirty years ago,
Then he set up his own business and moved to the Qingyun Sect in Zhongzhou. After that, the Guo family slowly returned to peace...
Guo Xingzhou couldn't help but feel a headache when he recalled the many turmoils in those years. And one Xia Xingyuan was enough to give him a headache. At this time, the little bastard who had been living in the world had become an old bastard, and he brought another little bastard over. According to this rhythm, Guo Xingzhou
Wouldn’t the family be completely turned upside down?
However, just when Guo Xingzhou felt a headache and was thinking of a solution, Xia Xiaoniu suddenly said to the head of the Xia family: "Dad, you don't even know. When you didn't come just now, they forced me to marry into the Yang family. I
They just said that my surname is Xia and not Guo, and it is not their turn to worry about marriage, so they got angry again."
"This is really unreasonable." The head of the Xia family glanced at Guo Xingzhou and others, "Of course my daughter's surname is Xia, and of course I can only make the decision on her marriage. Even Mrs. Guo can't interfere in this matter, and you actually want to interfere?"
Seeing Patriarch Xia getting angry, Guo Xingzhou suddenly felt something was wrong. In fact, he was not afraid of Patriarch Xia. In this situation of four versus two, he also had a great advantage.
Having an advantage does not mean that it can be won easily. This battle may last for a period of time. And while the battle continues, won't the Guo family be smashed into a mess?
More importantly, this battle is destined to not be a winner or a loser. Because when the battle actually starts, more people will inevitably be attracted, and even Old Mrs. Guo will be alarmed.
And given how much Mr. Guo attaches importance to the Xia family leader, he might still be punished in the end, and he won't be able to get any advantage at all!
Thinking of this, Guo Xingzhou quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
"Misunderstanding? You want to force my daughter to marry someone else, and you also attack my precious son-in-law. Now you actually have the nerve to say there is a misunderstanding?" The head of the Xia family was unforgiving, with an angry look on his face.
However, while he showed an angry look, he quietly sent a message to Shen Lang: "Boy Shen, prepare to take action with me."
"Ah?" Shen Lang was a little dumbfounded and thought, isn't this old man Xia too tough? Since the other party has already retreated, wouldn't it be easier for each of them to take a step back? Why bother to make the matter bigger?
"Ah what? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." There was a hint of evil smile in the eyes of the Xia family leader, "I have long been dissatisfied with these guys who have high eyesight. Now it is their fault. We have reasons and reasons to take action. Even if the matter goes to Mrs. Guo, I believe they will be the unlucky ones. In this case, why not vent the grievances in our hearts."
Shen Lang was completely speechless, but he was a little cautious about this. As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage, you are a bastard, and if you don't take revenge, you are also a bastard. So he immediately grabbed the knife with enthusiasm.
However, the head of the Xia family sent a message again: "Leave Guo Xingzhou to me, the other three are yours."
"I have three, and you have one?" Shen Lang stared and said, "Are you mistaken? I just broke through not long ago, so you are also a senior, okay?"
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, we don't have to fight hard. We can just smash it... Oh! By the way, the key is the Xingzhi Building behind Tongming Hall. We also smashed that side." Looking at the Xingzhi Building in the distance, I seemed to be thinking about something that happened one year when I was punished to think about it in front of the wall in the Xingzhi Building, and my hands suddenly felt itchy.
Shen Lang was speechless, wondering how this guy was helping him vent his anger. Is it because he wanted to take the opportunity to vent his anger?
"I'm counting to three, two, one, let's go together!" Mr. Xia's eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he had been waiting for this day for many years.
"three!"
"two!"
At this time, Shen Lang was ready to go together. Although he thought this kind of thing was ridiculous, he didn't mind having his future father-in-law act wildly in his father-in-law's house.
"superior!"
As soon as the words fell, the two guys who were ready to bring the Guo family into chaos simultaneously took a step forward and prepared to take action.
But what was unexpected was that Guo Xingzhou, who was previously arrogant and rude, suddenly raised his hand and struck a big bell in the distance with his strong palm!
A buzzing sound and a heavy bell echoed throughout the Guo family compound. Shen Lang and the head of the Xia family were stunned at the same time.
Because they all know that the sound of bells means alarm bells among big families or sects, and ringing the alarm bell often means that the family or sect is facing a huge threat, and it also means asking for help.
However, the dignified Guo family sounded the alarm for help on behalf of the family head. What is the difference between this and surrender? As arrogant and arrogant as him, he actually surrendered before fighting. Is it so easy to give in? Now he is not afraid of embarrassment or the loss of the Guo family.
Have you lost face?
Shen Lang thought to himself, it is true that a bad person still needs to be punished by a bad person. When dealing with such a person, you should not give him a good look.
