In a courtyard of the Gu family, I saw only an old man with gray hair and a childlike face, lying on the Taishi chair with squinted eyes.
Behind him were two pretty maids serving him.
"Grandpa, everything has been arranged."
At this time, Gu Cheng, the fourth young man of the Gu family, was standing aside with a respectful look on his face, cautious and not daring to be presumptuous. However, his eyes slightly glanced at the two maids behind the old man, and a gleam of greed flashed in his eyes.
"Very good. Although you are not of high origin, at least you still carry the blood of my Gu family. If this matter can be solved, I can consider letting you enter Tianwu Garden for one year."
Tianwu Garden!
After Gu Cheng heard this, he trembled all over, then showed excitement and excitement, and said quickly, "My grandson will definitely not let you down!"
Tianwu Garden is the most mysterious place of the Gu family. Even the descendants of the Gu family, not everyone is qualified to enter, let alone stay there for a year!
"Is there anything else?"
The old man was obviously a little sleepy, but Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "My grandson has something unclear and I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
The fourth young master of the Gu family, who is so famous outside, is now so cautious that no one else can see him.
But if you know who the old man who looks nothing special at this moment is, then you won't have any doubts.
The third ancestor of the Gu family!
He is also one of the three martial emperors of the Gu family!
Gu Cheng was obviously a descendant of the third ancestor of the Gu family, but he was not a direct descendant, but a commoner.
For a large family, after millions of years, there are naturally tens of millions of descendants. If they were not of pure blood and noble birth, it would be impossible to stay in the Gu family.
Although Gu Cheng holds the status of the fourth young master of the Gu family, only he knows that he is nothing in the Gu family! If the old man in front of him had not been useful to him, he would have been driven out of the Gu family and become a lost dog.
.
"explain."
"My grandson is a little unclear."
"What don't you understand?"
"My grandson has already sent someone to inquire about the Yu family. The Yu family is in a state of decline. Even the old ghost of the Yu family has died. Now the Yu family only has the little girl and a crippled old slave left.
Why bother?"
If Miss Yu and Uncle Fu heard this, they would naturally be shocked and even disbelief.
However, at this moment, there are only the third ancestor of the Gu family and Gu Cheng, the grandson and grandson here, and the two pretty maids are even less likely to be revealed.
"After all, I'm not a direct descendant, so my vision is so short-sighted."
The old man snorted coldly, causing the entire body of the fourth young master of the Gu family to tremble, and he knelt down quickly, "My grandson is ignorant."
"The Yu family is indeed in ruins, but don't forget that the Yu family was once prosperous in the past. And that old ghost in the Yu family was indeed very capable back then. If we take action rashly, my Gu family will become the target of public criticism."
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
But the eyes of the fourth young master of the Gu family brightened, "Grandpa means! My grandson understands! There are many people spying on the Yu family's alchemy skills. If our Gu family is the first to take action, let's not talk about the relationship between the Gu family and the Yu family.
I’m also afraid that the other companies will take advantage of the situation and find an excuse to take action! Grandpa is really smart!”
"As long as this girl from the Yu family is in the Gu family for a day, the other families will not act rashly. And we only need to slowly and step by step obtain the alchemy skills of the Yu family. By then, even if the other families react, there will be nothing they can do!"
Who would have thought that the Gu family, who were related to the Yu family by marriage, seemed to take in Miss Yu's master and servant on the surface, but secretly they were equally uneasy and well-intentioned.
Especially the fourth young master of the Gu family, he and Miss Yu are childhood sweethearts. However, at this moment, there is no family affection at all in his eyes. Instead, he is like a hungry beast, full of greed and viciousness.
"You're not too stupid at all. Remember, how did you get your identity as the fourth young master of the Gu family? That girl from the Yu family is now close to you. If you can gain that girl's trust, it will be considered that you have made great contributions to the Gu family.
When the time comes, I will let you enter Tianwu Garden for one year."
The old man's indifferent voice showed no trace of the family affection between grandfather and grandson, and the fourth son of the Gu family seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time, and nodded after hearing this.
"My grandson will definitely try his best! Although that girl from the Yu family is a bit unruly and willful, she is nothing to worry about. As long as my grandson uses some tricks, she can be easily captured!"
The fourth young master of the Gu family sneered. To him, this matter was like a huge opportunity falling from the sky!
Originally, it wasn't the Yu family that was in trouble. He was just a young master from a concubine in the Gu family, with no status. His talent was not high, and he was not taken seriously by anyone at all.
But it's different now. As long as he completes this matter, his status in the Gu family will naturally change.
"Hmph, that woman Yu Xue doesn't have much brains. When I get her body, it won't be up to me to choose!"
He was originally a lustful person, and he was still somewhat afraid of messing around in the Gu family, but now for the sake of the Yu family's alchemy, he can naturally do whatever he wants. And even the third ancestor of the Gu family is hinting at him intentionally or unintentionally.
You can do whatever it takes.
Beauty and status are almost within his reach.
After exiting the small courtyard respectfully, the fourth young master of the Gu family immediately changed his entire expression.
"Here comes someone."
"Fourth Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Where is the boy who came with Miss Yu before? Where is he now?"
Although he didn't take Li Ye seriously, but being able to live in a family like the Gu family to this day, the fourth son of the Gu family knew very well the weakness of Ye Chang Meng Duo.
"Back to the Fourth Young Master, that young man has been placed in the front yard."
The fourth young man of the Gu family hummed, but a series of treacherous plots quickly flashed through his mind.
The Yu family has collapsed, and now the only heir, Miss Yu, has come to join him. She does trust him quite a bit, but it is not that easy to succeed so easily.
"It seems that that boy does have some effect."
Suddenly, a treacherous plot came to mind.
…………
…
After waking up from trance, Li Ye's ears moved slightly but he did not open his eyes.
"It seems that the Gu family really takes me seriously."
A sneer flashed in his heart. It was not beyond his expectation that the Gu family sent people to stare at him.
After all, if this kind of aristocratic family didn't have the heart to let others go, they would have been destroyed long ago.
It's a pity that Li Ye doesn't have any thoughts about the Gu family. Let alone an ordinary family in Qingtian City, even an imperial sect such as Qingming Tiangong is nothing more than this.
Moreover, Emperor Qingming had a life-long friendship with him.
Suddenly, a faint aroma reached the tip of my nose.
As an alchemist, Li Ye was particularly sensitive to this smell. He opened his eyes in an instant, and a ray of cold light suddenly appeared.
At the same time, he also noticed that this strange smell came from outside, and it was clear that someone wanted to attack him.
