Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see Gu Jian and Gu Hongye walking into the gate of the Gu family.
"Gu Jian? Didn't he break up with the Gu family? What are you doing here?"
Many guests frowned and were surprised when they saw Gu Jian.
Although they knew that Gu Jian had done meritorious service for the Gu family and was expelled from the house by the Gu family, no one would say it at this time.
After all, no matter how talented Gu Jian was once, he is just a useless person now.
On the other hand, the Gu family not only won the title of the first family in Qingyun County, but was also rumored to be appreciated by the Li family in the royal capital.
If the Gu family or Gu Jian chooses one, any fool will know to side with the Gu family.
"Gu Jian, what are you doing here, you white-eyed wolf?" Gu Zhenlei roared angrily.
"Gu Jian, you loser has the nerve to come back. Our Gu family doesn't welcome you!"
Gu Feng, the grandson of the great elder, pointed at Gu Jian's nose and scolded him.
"Boy, didn't I warn you a long time ago not to come to the old man's birthday party to cause trouble? Do you really think we can't do anything to you?" Uncle Wang's tone became even colder.
"I'm not here to cause trouble today, but to celebrate my grandpa's birthday." Gu Jian said.
"Congratulations on your birthday? Don't be ridiculous. How dare you, a white-eyed wolf who harmed your own people, say such things?" Gu Feng said sarcastically again.
"Someone, give him to me..."
"Wait a minute."
Just when Gu Feng was about to give the order for the guards to blast the Gu Jian brothers and sisters out, the old man Gu Shanhe spoke.
"Xiao Feng, everyone here is a guest, just find a place for him to sit down."
Gu Shanhe said with a cold expression.
Today is his eightieth birthday. Gu Jian doesn't make trouble, so he naturally doesn't want to make things bigger, lest the guests present laugh at him.
"Yes, Grandpa."
Gu Feng showed displeasure, but he also knew that the overall situation was the most important. He looked at Gu Jian and said contemptuously: "Gu Jian, you have to thank grandpa for his generosity, otherwise you would have been kicked out long ago. Remember that you were once a member of the Gu family
For my sake, please sit at the same table with this servant."
"I used to think you were a flatterer, but now I see you are a snobbery."
Gu Jian smiled faintly.
"It's just that I used to be like a dog to please my brother, but now I'm more forceful with my words."
Gu Hongye also sarcastically said.
"I'm doing it for your own good. There are so many distinguished guests today, and I'm worried that if you two collide with them, your legs will be broken."
Gu Feng snorted coldly and ignored Gu Jian and Gu Hongye brother and sister.
"Hongye, let's go."
Gu Jian didn't care where he sat. Anyway, he had killed many guards of the Gu family in the past few days. The servants had no time to hide from him, so he dared to offend their brothers and sisters.
Sure enough, when Gu Jian and Gu Hongye sat down, all the servants at the table dispersed.
After the guests had almost arrived, Gu Shanhe asked, "Why didn't anyone from the Li family show up?"
People from the Li family in the royal capital live in the Gu Mansion. They originally promised to attend his birthday banquet, but it turns out that the birthday banquet is about to start and they haven't shown up yet.
The eldest elder looked embarrassed and said: "Old Master, the Gu Mansion was robbed last night. The Li family was worried that people from the royal capital had found some clues, so they all left to pack their luggage. They also said that they would wait for Master Li Ming to arrive at Qingshan City.
Return to the capital with the Panlong Cauldron."
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal earlier?" Gu Shanhe frowned.
"Today is your eightieth birthday, so I'm afraid you'll be angry if I say this." The great elder explained.
"Fortunately, it's just a thief. Otherwise, given the Li family's nervousness at every slightest disturbance, we would have waited to be exterminated."
Gu Shanhe secretly rejoiced.
As early as five years ago, the Li family of the royal capital had selected talents among the major families in Qingyun County to prepare for the next talent competition. At that time, Gu Hai and Gu Jian were both selected, so the Gu family naturally wanted an outsider like Gu Jian to go.
It was a thunderbolt.
It was also from that moment on that Gu Jian was trained intensively by the Gu family, and even he, the old man, personally taught him, so that Gu Jian could win the championship of the Talents Battle and bring back the Panlong Cauldron.
Although I don’t know what secrets the Panlong Cauldron is involved in, if it was just an ordinary treasure, the Li family would have directly asked the county governor for it, and the county governor would have given it the honor.
The fact that the Li family went to war like this only shows that few people know the secret of the Panlong Cauldron, and if you try to get it yourself, it will arouse the suspicion of interested people.
But if the Gu family can justifiably win back the Panlong Cauldron through a battle of talents, and then offer it to the Li family in the royal capital as a way to please and make friends, then everything will fall into place.
The water here is very deep, which is an opportunity for the Gu family, but it may also bring disaster to them.
But Gu Shanhe knew that they had embarked on a path of no return five years ago. Fortunately, they succeeded.
Soon, the birthday party began.
Gu Shanhe suppressed his inner worries and put on a smile again to face the guests.
The guests exchanged glasses of wine, and countless dignitaries stood up to toast Gu Shanhe and celebrate his birthday.
The scene was so lively.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Soon it was time for the younger members of the Gu family to wish the old man Gu Shanhe a birthday and give him birthday gifts.
Gu Feng was the first to stand up and said with a flattering smile: "Old Master, I have prepared a thousand-year-old ginseng for you. I wish you blessings like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!"
After saying this, he asked his servants to bring up a wooden box, in which lay a ginseng plant that exuded a strong fragrance.
"Surely it's really a thousand-year-old ginseng. This is a magical elixir that can extend people's lives. Isn't it worth a hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Many guests exclaimed.
"Xiao Feng, you are interested."
Gu Shanhe smiled with satisfaction and said that it was a great honor for him to receive such a congratulatory gift from his descendants.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhenlei, the Great Elder and many other elders also presented their birthday gifts.
"Okay, okay! You all have your heart!"
Finally, Gu Hai stood up and slowly took out a wooden box.
"Grandpa, I have prepared a third-grade elixir for you, a true elixir!"
Gu Hai's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the guests.
Gu Hai is extremely talented and is rumored to be no less talented than Gu Jian. He will soon go to Tianxing Academy to study, and his future is limitless.
What surprised them even more was the true elixir in Gu Hai's hand!
"The third-grade true elixir, isn't this the magic medicine that Piaoxuelou just put on the shelves a few days ago?"
"That's right, demand exceeds supply just three days after it was put on the shelves. If you don't have enough connections, you can't even buy it!"
"More importantly, this true spiritual elixir is worth one million taels of silver, and it will be of great benefit to the warriors of the Condensing Dan Realm."
"Okay, okay! Xiaohai, you are indeed a good grandson of grandpa. I like this gift so much!"
Gu Shanhe was extremely excited.
You know, his cultivation has not improved for many years, and he has almost concluded that he will not be able to make any further progress until his death.
But the emergence of the True Spirit Pill gave him hope again. He is expected to break through the Yuan Dan realm and become a martial arts master!
While everyone else was in shock, Gu Jian was the only one who was very calm, minding his own drinking.
Isn't this one of the pills he sold to Piaoxuelou? Why are you so excited?
"Old Master, the gift that Brother Gu Hai has prepared for you is really great. But it is also your grandson who has been raised with all your heart, and that guy Gu Jian seems to have come empty-handed."
Gu Feng had a strange yin and yang aura.
As soon as he finished speaking, both the Gu family and the guests all looked at Gu Jian.
There was a strange look on his face.
"Gu Jian, you said you came here to celebrate your birthday, so you must have a birthday gift, right?"
Gu Zhenlei's eyes were sinister.
When Gu Jian was kicked out of the house by them, he had nothing. What valuable gift could he give?
"Every guest here has given a birthday gift. If you are here to cheat me by eating and drinking, I will have to kick you out."
The great elder also said coldly.
"Of course it's impossible for my brother and sister to come empty-handed."
Gu Jian slowly stood up and looked at Gu Shanhe.
"Grandpa, thank you and the Gu family for your many years of nurturing. Unfortunately, things have changed. Although I have long said that I will leave the Gu family, I think it is better to say this in a formal occasion so that everyone can bear witness to it.
good."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jian took out a bottle of emerald green liquid from his arms and said decisively:
"This birthday gift is enough to repay the kindness you have given me. From now on, we will never be sworn in!"
