"Short-sighted? Don't know how to praise? How can it be so, how can it be so reasonable! Come on, take down this traitor!"
Gu Shanhe was so angry that he stood up and pointed at Gu Jian and cursed.
"yes!"
Dozens of guards surrounded him, and even the great elder and others were on tenterhooks.
"Gu Jian, no matter what you do today, there is no way you can leave the Gu Mansion alive!"
Gu Feng gritted his teeth and said.
"Stop it all!"
At this moment, a majestic voice came from the gate of Gu's Mansion, and a middle-aged man with a Chinese character, a calm and self-respecting face, walked into Gu's Mansion accompanied by a young girl.
"It's the Lord of the City!"
"The Lord of the City actually came to celebrate his birthday. The old man of the Gu family must be too proud."
"Yes, City Lord Murong is very busy and never attends such banquets."
"It would be great if my Wang family could also win a battle of talents and have the city lord come to celebrate his birthday. How shameless it would be."
All the guests exclaimed and quickly stood up to salute the city lord in their mouths.
"Lord City Lord?"
Even Gu Shanhe was surprised when he saw the visitor, feeling incredible.
You must know that the city lord Murong Xiong is not only a veteran in the Condensation Realm, but also a very busy man who needs to deal with all the affairs of Qingshan City. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has everything to do every day.
Such a rare big man actually brought his own daughter to congratulate him on his birthday.
In the entire Qingshan City, which family's old man is treated like this?
This is so respectable!
"Grandpa, City Lord Murong personally came to wish you a birthday. This shows that our Gu family is really going to be prosperous."
Gu Hai looked excited, and while he was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the city lord's daughter.
Generally speaking, if the city lord comes to celebrate his birthday, he can just send an envoy. Why does Murong Xiong, the city lord, need to come in person?
But today he not only came in person, but also brought his daughter Murong Shuran with him, which is intriguing.
As the daughter of the city lord's palace, Murong Shuran not only had a distinguished status, she was also the most beautiful woman in Qingshan City. She was favored by many wealthy children in the city, including Gu Hai himself.
Gu Hai suddenly had a guess that Murong City Lord wanted to betroth his daughter Murong Shuran to him. After all, he was about to enter Tianxing Academy and become a hot young talent.
In the entire Qingshan City, and even in the entire Qingyun County, who else besides him is worthy of Murong Shuran?
Gu Hai never expected that framing Gu Jian to win the Heavenly Star Order would lead to an unexpected surprise.
"Everyone, step back."
At this moment, Gu Shanhe hurriedly asked the tense guards to put away their weapons and face Murong Xiong with a smile.
The rest of the Gu family quickly followed.
"City Lord Murong personally came to congratulate the old man on his birthday. The old man is really flattered!"
Gu Shanhe took the lead.
"City Lord Murong is here, the Gu Mansion is really in full glory!" said the First Elder.
Gu Hai rolled his eyes and explained: "Sir City Lord, we were dealing with some housework just now. You may have misunderstood."
In his opinion, Murong Xiong told them to stop because he was worried about hurting other guests.
After all, maintaining the safety of the people in the city is also the responsibility of the city lord.
However, in the face of the flattering smiles from Gu Shanhe and other Gu family members, Murong Xiong always kept a straight face.
"Who said I came to celebrate your birthday? You, Gu Shanhe, are not so shameless."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the Gu family's faces froze and they were very embarrassed.
All the guests were stunned. Today is Gu Shanhe's eightieth birthday. If City Lord Murong is not here to celebrate his birthday, what does he want to do?
"Murong City Lord, you really know how to joke..." Gu Zhenlei smiled a little confused.
"I'm not kidding."
Murong Xiong was serious.
"Mr. Gu Jian saved my daughter's life, and I came here specifically to thank him. If he hadn't repaid evil with kindness and wanted to come to the Gu Mansion to celebrate his birthday, I wouldn't have bothered to come to your house."
"What?"
Hearing this, the Gu family were all stunned. Gu Jian saved the daughter of the city lord's family?
Is there such a thing?
Under the confused gazes of many Gu family members, Murong Xiong led Murong Shuran to Gu Jian.
"Master Gu Jian, thank you for saving my little girl's life."
Murong Xiong cupped his hands and said to Gu Jian.
He heard Master Mu Long say that Gu Jian was very talented in alchemy and martial arts, and he would definitely be a hero in the future!
So he specially came to thank and make friends on such an important day as today.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu Jian, for saving me."
Next to Murong Xiong, Murong Shuran, who had gleaming eyes and a peach-blossom face, also bowed slightly.
"City Lord Murong, Miss Murong, it's just a small gesture, no need to say thank you."
Gu Jian acted very calmly.
Seeing this scene, the Gu family all gnashed their teeth and secretly sighed at Gu Jian's good luck.
"Not long ago, Miss Murong had a sparring match with the daughter of the governor's family, and her veins were injured. The city lord has been looking for medicine for her. Gu Jian must have happened to find those medicines, and then he was lucky enough to save Miss Murong.
.”
"It's very possible. After all, he was about to die before, but he suddenly recovered. It's probably because he picked up some kind of elixir."
"No wonder he was able to refine life-extending liquid. I'm afraid it's also because of his good luck."
Many Gu family members discussed this.
Gu Hai looked at Gu Jian chatting and laughing with Murong Shuran, and deep jealousy and hatred arose in his heart.
Murong Shuran, as the daughter of the city lord's palace, had always disdained chatting with any young man from a wealthy family. She only had a few nods with him, but now she was smiling so happily in front of Gu Jian, how could he not be jealous.
"Hmph, what's the use of being lucky? After all, you are a waste who cannot practice. When I kill you and enter Tianxing Academy, Lord Murong will turn around and come to curry favor with me."
At this time, Murong Xiong turned around and asked: "Gu Shanhe, looking at your posture just now, are you going to take action against Master Gu Jian?"
Having said this, Murong Xiong paused for a moment, then changed the topic and said:
"I don't care what your Gu family has done, but I, Murong Xiong, put my words here. If any of you dare to touch my daughter's savior, you are going against me and the City Lord's Mansion!"
"this……"
The Gu family looked at each other.
Not only was Murong Xiong himself a veteran in the Dan Condensing Realm, but his city lord's mansion was even more powerful.
If he stood firmly behind Gu Jian, not only the Gu family would still be able to control Gu Jian, but also other forces that originally stood on the side of the Gu family might switch sides to Gu Jian.
"A city lord, for the sake of personal grudges, left the whole city's affairs alone and actually took care of other people's household affairs. He is really conscientious of his duties."
However, just when the Gu family was wondering what to do, a slightly joking voice sounded.
"Who is out there in such a weird mood and dares to show up and speak?"
Many guests stood up and looked in the direction of the Gu family door where the sound came from.
"Why don't you dare to show up and speak?"
I saw a fair-skinned young man wearing a luxurious brocade robe and a purple-gold feather crown, accompanied by an old man with a deep aura, walking arrogantly into the Gu family's mansion.
City Lord Murong Xiong's eyelids jumped when he saw the person coming. Although he did not recognize this young man, he knew that the old man behind him was a Yuan Dan Realm strongman who was above the Condensing Dan Realm, which is what people call a martial arts master!
A bodyguard has the cultivation of a martial arts master, so how noble should this young man be?
"Master Li, you are finally here!"
The young man's appearance made Gu Shanhe and many Gu family members look excited and trotted towards him.
"Master Li?"
"Could it be the Li family in the royal capital?"
Many guests were shocked. They had long heard that the Gu family was appreciated by the Li family in the royal capital. They thought it was just a rumor, but they didn't expect it to be true!
