"She is just a bastard and has nothing to do with me."
Gu Ziang sneered, and the others' reaction to him was not surprising.
They even knew why Gu Ziang had such an attitude towards Gu Lanxi. Speaking of which, this could be traced back to the grudges of the previous generation.
Back then, the Gu family was full of talents. Although it was not as exaggerated as it is now, several terrifying characters were indeed born.
The most famous among them is naturally Gu Qingqing, the most beautiful woman in the Gu family and Tianyuan City!
It is almost a monster that the Gu family has never seen in tens of thousands of years.
But there is also one person!
And this person is now the head of the Gu family, Gu Qiufeng!
Speaking of which, the two of them are brothers and sisters from the same mother. They should have been a perfect match and a double blessing, and they were the pride of the Gu family. However, the brothers and sisters have not dealt with each other since they were young. They have fought openly and secretly, and even fought at the ancestral ceremony.
The key point is that the current head of the Gu family, Gu Qiufeng, has never defeated his sister even once back then! He was secretly laughed at by many people.
Even now, some people occasionally joke behind their backs, saying that if Gu Qingqing hadn't committed suicide and given up the Gu family's great foundation, it would never have been Gu Qiufeng's turn to be the head of the family.
As you can imagine, taking into account the grudges of the older generation and various other factors.
Gu Zizang naturally cannot be close to Gu Lanxi, especially since the last time he was in front of Gu Lanxi and Li Ye, he did not get any benefits, which made him hold a grudge.
"What a pity for a beautiful woman."
"Actually, why does this bitch want to go to so much trouble to return to the Gu family? As long as she becomes a concubine for you and me, she can return to the family, hahaha!"
Everyone did not regard Gu Lanxi as a member of the Gu family at all. In their eyes, Gu Lanxi was just like those despicable women outside who wanted to kneel down and lick them, except that she was more beautiful! Their hearts fluttered.
"She is only in the seventh-grade heavenly realm. If she was just a member of a branch of the Gu family, she would have a chance to stay in the Gu family. But unfortunately, the family head and the ancestors put forward the conditions for her to enter the top ten of the ancestors. Otherwise, it would be impossible to accept her.
she."
Several people had a sneer on their faces.
Among the current third-generation disciples of the Gu family, there are more than ten seventh-grade Celestial Immortals. If they want to compete for the top ten positions, the chances of not having the eighth-grade Golden Immortal's cultivation are very slim.
As for competing for first place, even these people have no idea.
Now, in the third generation of the Gu family, only one person is firmly ranked first! The height of the ninth-grade Xuanxian makes them sigh.
After all, after reaching the realm of seventh-grade heavenly immortals, the difficulty of improving first-grade strength is even more exaggerated than the combined difficulty of going from scratch to going from a mortal to a seventh-grade heavenly immortal!
Don't look at the Gu family, they are full of talents and strong people.
But the ninth-grade Xuanxian is definitely the top group of people. Even the head of the family, Gu Qiufeng, is only a ninth-grade Xuanxian! The ordinary elder of the Gu family is only an eighth-grade golden immortal.
Li Ye took in all the eyes that were on him and Gu Lanxi, and remained calm on the surface.
"Ye Lang, are you really sure?"
Gu Lanxi was a little nervous. She didn't care about being humiliated by the Gu family, but she was worried that the Gu family would be angry at Li Ye because of her relationship.
Even though she knew that Li Ye's strength was by no means as simple as it appeared, he could even have anal sex with a ninth-grade Xuanxian head-on.
But this is the Gu family, not Guanglan City.
Any ancestor of the Gu family is in the realm of the Immortal Lord. If there is a big fight, Li Ye's safety will become her biggest concern.
"As long as those old guys from the Gu family don't show shame and do it themselves, the juniors don't have to worry."
Yes!
Don't worry!
Li Ye has already looked at the people of the Gu family. Although they are indeed full of talents, the strongest among them are those in the eighth-level Golden Immortal realm.
Before he experienced the calamity of a first-level immortal, he could violently defeat an eighth-level golden immortal and fight against a ninth-level profound immortal.
Now that he has passed the first-level immortal calamity, his strength has risen to another level.
Eighth-grade golden immortal?
He really didn't take it seriously.
This time.
Everyone has already arrived.
The head of the Gu family stood up directly.
His eyes were so sharp that the entire martial arts arena became completely silent.
"The Gu family holds an ancestral ceremony every hundred years. Those who have not yet arrived will be regarded as giving up voluntarily and will not receive any support from the family from now on. Those present will follow the usual practice and select the best disciples of my Gu family to serve as the guide for the future development of my Gu family.
Pillar!"
As Gu Qiufeng's voice sounded, both the disciples of the branch families and the disciples of the direct family all looked serious.
"In the last hundred years! There were five direct disciples who were unwilling to make progress. From today on, their identities will be deprived of them!"
As soon as this statement came out, many people's expressions changed.
Among the direct disciples, five young men looked pale and were quickly taken away.
Of course, no one had any objection to this. Those five young people were all the weakest in cultivation.
Li Ye took a look and roughly understood what the Gu family's rules were.
Those five young people were all over 3,000 years old based on their physical appearance, but their cultivation levels were still at the sixth-grade earthly immortal realm.
"It seems that the Gu family's assessment of future generations is very strict! If you cannot break through to the seventh-grade heavenly immortal at the age of three thousand, you will lose your direct line status."
Of course, losing direct line status does not mean that they will be sentenced to death. They will be arranged by the Gu family to other places, such as managing the Gu family's shops and helping the family run some industries.
In short, the Gu family will not starve them to death, but since they have left the center of power, it will be much more difficult to continue practicing without family support.
"Master, actually the Gu family is somewhat humane. If those disciples of the Gu family who have been deprived of their status can cultivate to the seventh level of heavenly immortals, they can still come back. Although their status is not high, their treatment is good."
Li Ye nodded.
Where there is punishment, there must be reward. The rules set by the ancestor of the Gu family are indeed admirable.
Because of this, the descendants of the Gu family can be encouraged to the greatest extent to practice hard and never stop making progress.
After announcing several rewards and punishments.
What comes next is the highlight.
Everyone present knew this.
Li Ye looked at some of the juniors of the Gu family, and he found that the juniors of the Gu family who were under a thousand years old had the most relaxed expressions. It was obvious that the Gu family was not so strict with all the juniors. There was no need for assessments for those under a thousand years old! Unless they took the initiative to participate.
Among these young people, only a few were eager to give it a try, and most of them laughed and retreated to the side to watch the show.
The highlight is the third-generation disciple of the Gu family who is over a thousand years old.
"According to convention, the top ten disciples among the ancestors can obtain the status of heirs of the Gu family, and the family will give them the best care. All cultivation resources will be taken care of by the family. In addition, as disciples of the heirs, three seventh-grade heavenly immortals can be assigned
The bodyguards, thirty servants and maids, and the disciples can go to the family sutra collection pavilion to choose and practice the techniques at will."
As soon as this statement came out, many people's eyes became hot.
This is not just a simple reward, it is a status symbol and an opportunity to go further!
The family is responsible for all cultivation resources! Everyone knows that the resources consumed by the path of cultivation are simply unimaginable. Many strong casual cultivators can only recruit three or five disciples in their lifetime. It's not that they don't want to recruit more, but they simply can't afford to teach them!
How can casual cultivators have so many resources for their disciples to practice?
That is to say, only big families like the Gu family, or those powerful and profound immortal sects, can be so heroic.
But even in the Gu family, it is impossible for everyone to receive this kind of treatment.
Obviously, only ten disciples of the Gu family have this qualification.
As for the three seventh-grade immortal guards and the thirty servant maids, they don't seem so important.
After all, those who can win the status of heirs in the Gu family are all geniuses and monsters. Most of them are born noble and have many servants and maids around them. As for the guards? With their status, there are many seventh-grade immortals outside who are willing to follow them!
As soon as the head of the Gu family said these words, the eyes of those geniuses who wanted to compete for the identity of the disciples of the Gu family flashed with sharp gleams.
In fact, there are some people who are just as excited!
Among these people, especially those from branch families are the most concerned.
Li Ye glanced at those people and immediately guessed what they were thinking.
Sure enough, it was at this time that the voice of the gold-swallowing beast rang in his mind: "Master, those seventh-grade immortals in the branch families who are older and have exhausted their talents usually choose a talent-based person at this time.
They can select a genius from the Gu family with great potential, and then choose to be loyal and follow him. Once that genius can become a disciple of the Gu family, their status will also rise, and they will enter the center of power of the Gu family."
really!
Many people in the Gu family have already chosen their loyalties.
Most of those strong men are seventh-grade heavenly immortals, and some are fifth- and sixth-grade earth immortals. They are not qualified to enter the Gu family's center of power, but at this moment there is another way to go!
Those with strong cultivation can serve as the guards of the evil spirits of the Gu family, while those with weak cultivation but good looks can become maids and maids, waiting by their side.
Even the descendants of the same family obviously have very different environments and fates.
Li Ye saw that there were many beautiful women in the branch family who were willing to rely on and please some of the direct geniuses of the Gu family.
Of course, they are also genius monsters. The few genius monsters on the branch family side obviously have much fewer followers. Compared with the direct geniuses such as Gu Ziang and Gu Qianfan, they are a bit shabby.
But even so, most of them have one or two attendants and several servants behind them to take care of their daily life.
Especially Gu Tianchen, with three seventh-grade immortals standing behind him, and several pretty women waiting on him tenderly, it is enough to show that his status in the eyes of everyone in the Gu family is no weaker than that of Gu Qianfan.
Gu Ziang and other direct descendant evildoers.
In comparison.
The most miserable person at the moment is Li Ye.
Gu Lanxi's delicate body trembled slightly. It stands to reason that she is also a member of the Gu family. By coming to participate in the Gu family's ancestral ceremony this time, she is already qualified to be a member of the Gu family by default.
But if she wants to publicly recognize her identity, she must enter the top ten of the ancestral priests! In other words, she can obtain the status of a successor disciple.
But it was at this time.
Many people's eyes fell on her.
"It's really pitiful."
I don't know who laughed in a low voice, and everyone showed understanding expressions.
Beside Gu Lanxi, not to mention the seventh-grade heavenly immortals who are helping out, and the maids and maids, there is only one young man standing. The key point is that this young man seems to have mediocre cultivation, at most a third-grade earthly immortal, even many of the servants around him are
Not as good as.
It would be ridiculous to say that this was a master who came to help.
But if you say he is a servant, it doesn’t look like it!
When everyone saw that Gu Lanxi did not avoid suspicion and showed an intimate relationship with the young man next to her, they couldn't help but feel a trace of ridicule and contempt on their faces.
"Gu Zi'ang, your cousin doesn't even have anyone around her. It's a bit too shabby."
At this time, someone sneered.
Everyone looked around and found that it was Gu Qianfan, one of the direct disciples who had always been at odds with Gu Ziang. At this moment, he had a sneer on his face, and his words clearly took the opportunity to humiliate Gu Ziang.
"She hasn't returned to the Gu family yet, so she's not considered a Gu family member, and she doesn't have much to do with me."
Gu Ziang was unmoved. There were three masters standing beside him. One of them, an old man, had his eyes closed and looked quite proud, while the other two middle-aged men had expressionless faces.
They are all strong men that Gu Ziang has won over, and they are his greatest confidence in the ancestral sacrifice this time.
Most of the other geniuses of the Gu family are like this. To them, Gu Lanxi is a joke. She wants to compete with them for the top ten ancestral sacrifices, which is a wishful thinking.
On the high platform.
Gu Qiufeng took a look and found that he didn't even have the slightest affection for Gu Lanxi. If it weren't for the fact that there were still several ancestors of the Gu family who missed their old relationship, he would even kill his niece himself.
"Okay, now that the once-in-a-hundred-year ancestral sacrifice has begun, for all the disciples of my Gu family who are over three thousand years old and have not yet reached the realm of seventh-grade heavenly immortals, the family will give you an opportunity to show your respect to any disciple of the seventh-grade heavenly immortals present.
Challenge, as long as you succeed in the challenge, you can stay in the family! Continue to enjoy the family's honor and resources, if you fail, you will be kicked out of the family and develop on your own."
As soon as these words came out.
The five direct disciples who had been deprived of their identities were a little excited. Of course, this rule of the Gu family was almost a nominal comfort. How could a sixth-grade earthly immortal defeat a seventh-grade heavenly immortal?
Those five people all have mediocre talents. Even if they were once prominent, no one would follow them.
But everyone has the desire to survive, and one of these five people gritted his teeth!
"Master, this disciple is willing to challenge!"
Everyone looked a little surprised. After all, no one would ask for trouble after so many years. Even being expelled from the family is not a death sentence. There is still a chance to cultivate and return to the family in the future.
But now the challenge is to challenge a sixth-grade earth immortal against a seventh-grade heavenly immortal. Isn’t this looking for death?
You know, even if the Gu family will not allow life-and-death fights between disciples, it is not impossible to kill someone by mistake. This kind of thing has happened occasionally over the years.
"Oh? In that case, your courage is commendable! Who do you want to challenge?"
Gu Qiufeng said coldly.
Everyone also pricked up their ears and stared. After all, if you want to survive, you must find someone who is in the seventh-grade heavenly realm among the many third-generation disciples of the Gu family.
But among so many people, no one is a weakling. If he is beaten to death, no one will help him complain.
And this person! His eyes flashed with a hint of madness! He has already made a decision!
