Throughout the martial arts arena, everyone in the Gu family couldn't help but show a hint of shock, because they really didn't expect that this person would choose to challenge Gu Lanxi.
Gu Lanxi! To be honest, we are not really part of the Gu family yet!
No one even took her seriously.
But at this time, I didn't expect that she would be the first to kick off the Gu family's ancestral sacrifice.
"Isn't this Gu Jiurong? What on earth was he thinking?"
"Yes, although he is a direct disciple of the Gu family, his talent is mediocre. The family has spent a lot of training resources on him over the years, but there is no improvement. Now he is three thousand years old and has not yet broken through to the seventh-grade heavenly realm. He is
It is reasonable to deprive him of his status as a direct disciple and drive him out of the family."
"I remember that he only reached the sixth level of Earth Immortal when he was nearly two thousand years old. After that, he made no progress at all. This end is considered normal. It's just that he is a little impulsive now to challenge that bastard?"
"Although Gu Lanxi is a bastard, I heard that she is already in the seventh-grade heavenly realm. She has inherited some of her mother's talents, but they are not so heaven-defying. If Gu Jiurong challenges her, there is still no chance of winning."
"It should be a desperate move. With Gu Jiurong's current situation, he has no chance of winning if he challenges any seventh-grade immortal in the family. Since everyone on the left and right is being kicked out of the family, it's better to take a gamble!"
Everyone was talking a lot.
No one felt sympathy for this young man who was about to lose his status as a direct disciple of the Gu family. The law of the jungle is an eternal truth.
In a place like the Gu family, if you are not strong enough, you will be eliminated!
Even Gu Jiurong's parents couldn't say much. Even though his parents now held high positions in the Gu family and both were elders of the Gu family, they did not dare to violate the rules set by the ancestors of the Gu family for their son.
Likewise, no one sympathizes with Gu Jiurong, and certainly no one sympathizes with Gu Lanxi.
Many people even showed a trace of ridicule on their faces. In their eyes, neither Gu Jiurong nor Gu Lanxi had anything to do with them.
The former has lost his status as the direct descendant of the Gu family and has no further interactions with them.
And the latter!
It is worthless in their eyes.
On the high platform.
Gu Qiufeng frowned slightly, and at the same time, an elder couldn't help but said: "Gu Jiurong, are you sure you want to challenge Gu Lanxi?"
Each of these elders is smarter than the last, and this elder is also on good terms with Gu Jiurong's father. At this time, he seems to be asking questions, but in fact he is asking with his eyes.
"Disciple is sure!"
Gu Jiurong said in a deep voice, his eyes firm.
Seeing him like this, the elder had a strange look on his face, but he couldn't say much, but then he turned back to look at Gu Lanxi and Li Ye, his eyes were a bit more sharp and warning: "Gu Lanxi, are you willing to agree to this challenge?
?”
The Gu family stipulates that during the ancestral sacrifice held once every hundred years, anyone has the right to refuse three challenges. However, after three attempts, the family will determine that he has failed the test and will be kicked out of the family!
At the same time, once the challenge is refused, the person challenging will take the status of the person being challenged.
Obviously, there was a hint of warning in the words of the Gu family elder!
If Gu Lanxi refuses the challenge at this moment! It means that Gu Jiurong can survive the desperate situation! At least for the next hundred years, he can still stay in the Gu family.
On the high platform, the other elders naturally saw the elder's potential purpose. Although they frowned slightly, they knew that this was breaking the rules of the Gu family. But rules are dead, and people are alive.
They hesitated for a while but turned a blind eye, pretending not to notice.
Anyway, Gu Lanxi is not Gu Ziang. Gu Qianfan, a prodigy who is highly valued by the Gu family, has nothing to do with them whether they live or die, whether they are humiliated or kicked out of the house.
On the contrary, although Gu Jiurong himself is mediocre in talent and not very high-level, his parents still have some connections in the Gu family, and many elders have a good relationship with his parents, so those who can take care of him will naturally take care of him.
As the current head of the Gu family, Gu Qiufeng naturally saw this and did not interfere either.
"Gu Lanxi, are you willing?"
Everyone is holding their breath and concentrating, and they all want to know what Gu Lanxi will do.
At this time, Li Ye could feel Gu Lanxi's body trembling slightly. Bingxue was so smart that she naturally understood the thoughts of the Gu family.
But does she really want to compromise and give the other person a favor?
"Ye Lang, I don't want to admit defeat."
Gu Lanxi whispered, even though she knew that she actually had three chances! Even if she refused Gu Jiurong's challenge this time, she still had two left! Although she would be humiliated and laughed at by the Gu family, at least she could sell a favor to Gu Jiurong
His parents were favored by the two elders of the Gu family.
but!
She didn't want to! From the moment she stood in the martial arts arena, she came just to prove herself.
"In that case, let the Gu family take a closer look to see if you are the soft persimmon they imagined."
Li Ye laughed softly.
Gu Lanxi nodded.
At the same time, under the gaze of so many people from the Gu family, he stood directly on the stage.
Wow!
Seeing that Gu Lanxi did not refuse, but instead agreed to Gu Jiurong's challenge, many people's expressions changed slightly.
Especially Gu Jiurong, his expression was even more ugly!
On the high platform, there were also two people with unsightly expressions. These two people were Gu Jiurong's parents. They were the elders of the Gu family and were eighth-grade golden immortals!
They originally thought that Gu Lanxi would gain connections and give them a favor in order to return to the Gu family.
I never thought that this bastard could be so strong!
"This bitch! You don't know what's good or bad!"
On the high platform, a graceful and pretty woman hummed coldly. She was Gu Jiurong's mother, and naturally she didn't want to see her son kicked out of the family.
The wishful thinking failed, some people were happy and some were sad.
Gu Jiurong was filled with hatred! The person behind him also didn't look good.
As for other members of the Gu family, they sneered. They were really afraid that Gu Lanxi would disregard her self-esteem and bow her head in order to win over some elders of the Gu family. If this were to happen, maybe the ancestor of the Gu family who had an old relationship might really make the decision.
, let Gu Lanxi return to the family.
But now!
"Fight yourself in a cocoon!"
Gu Ziang sneered. Including him, the evildoers of the Gu family actually didn't care about the outcome of this battle.
If Gu Jiurong wins, even if he can stay in the Gu family, it will only last for a hundred years. With Gu Jiurong's talent, even if he delays for a hundred years, he will eventually be kicked out of the family.
Of course this possibility is too low!
As for the other side, so what if Gu Lanxi wins!
Normally, as long as any disciple of the Gu family can reach the seventh-grade heavenly realm before the age of three thousand, he can completely stay in the Gu family clan, and if he is in trouble in the future, he can become an elder.
But Gu Lanxi is different!
Everyone knows that she must enter the top ten in this ancestral ceremony to get her name corrected! Otherwise, she will be kicked out of the family.
So it doesn't make any sense whether she wins or not.
"Since both parties agree, let's get started! Remember, don't end up hurting your life!"
An elder on the high platform said loudly, of course, no one took these words seriously at all, martial arts competitions cannot be done to the point, and if someone is really killed, they can only blame the person who died because of his lack of skill!
It's just that generally speaking, the geniuses of the Gu family know each other very well, and unless it's a life-and-death feud, they won't make a killing move.
Gu Jiurong gritted his teeth!
His original idea was to use Gu Lanxi's special identity to find a way out for himself.
Who would have thought that Gu Lanxi would be so disrespectful that he would completely hate her!
"Gu Lanxi!"
He gritted his teeth, but what could he do? Just as he was about to go up to accept his fate, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
Looking back, his face became a little nervous and confused.
Because the person who called him was none other than one of the most evil geniuses in the Gu family today, the only son of the current head of the family, Gu Qiufeng! Gu Ziang.
"Young Master Ang!"
They are both direct disciples, but their status is also divided into three, six or nine. Gu Jiurong obviously has no sense of superiority in front of Gu Ziang and immediately salutes.
"Chen Qi."
"My subordinate is here!"
"From now on, you will be Gu Jiurong's follower."
As soon as he said this, the expression of the master following Gu Ziang changed, but he did not refuse and nodded: "Yes!"
"Young Master Ang, what is this?!"
Gu Jiurong's face was full of excitement and confusion! He recognized Chen Qi's identity! This man was one of the three masters next to Gu Ziang! He was a seventh-grade immortal!
He didn't expect that in the desperate situation, another village would emerge, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope.
"Remember, Chen Qi is now your follower. I don't need to say more about what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, Young Master Ang! This great kindness and kindness will be unforgettable by me, Gu Jiurong! My parents will also remember Young Master Ang's kindness!"
Gu Jiurong is not a fool. At this time, Gu Ziang actually asked one of his seventh-grade immortal masters to follow him. His purpose is self-evident!
How could he not understand and immediately reciprocate the favor? His words clearly imply that as long as he survives the crisis this time, his family will fully support Gu Ziang!
With just a few words, you can get the help of the two powerful elders of the Gu family. This kind of buying and selling of millet without any capital can be done at your fingertips.
Originally, everyone thought that Gu Jiurong was doomed this time, becoming one of the very few people in the Gu family who had been deprived of his status as a direct disciple and kicked out of the family in so many years.
Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen.
All I saw was that he suddenly became very high-spirited and stood directly on the ring!
At the same time, there was someone following him!
"Chen Qi?"
"Isn't that Chen Qi? How come he appears next to Gu Jiurong?"
"Wait a minute! Is this possible?"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Gu family changed their expressions.
On the high platform, Gu Qiufeng glanced at something, and then showed a satisfied smile. He naturally recognized who Chen Qi was. The moment he saw Chen Qi standing on the ring, he guessed what Gu Ziang was thinking.
The same was true for the other elders, among whom Gu Jiurong's parents were even more overjoyed! With excited expressions on their faces, they nodded secretly towards Gu Ziang.
The meaning is obvious. They accepted this favor! They will be rewarded generously in the future!
"Chen Qi! Isn't he someone from Gu Ziang's side?"
"This is a seventh-grade heavenly immortal. It's interesting! It's so interesting!"
Several evil geniuses from the Gu family laughed. They were not fools. They guessed what Gu Ziang wanted to do when they saw Chen Qi's actions!
Kill two birds with one stone!
Cruel! Too cruel!
Not only did he sell a favor to Gu Jiurong’s elder parents behind his back, but he also directly humiliated and even cut off all hope of Gu Lanxi returning to the Gu family without having to do anything personally!
Even Gu Qianfan, who didn't get along well with Gu Ziang in the past, couldn't help but shake his head.
"Gu Jiurong, what do you mean?"
An elder pretended to be pretentious and asked in a deep voice.
On the ring, Gu Jiurong replied respectfully: "Elder, this person is the disciple's new follower. According to the rules of the Gu family, the disciple can let the follower take action, and it will also meet the requirements of the ancestors."
Does the Gu family have such rules?
There really is!
Everyone present knew this.
So the elder stopped talking and nodded: "In that case, let's get started."
"yes!"
Gu Jiurong nodded, then looked at his opponent Gu Lanxi, and said hypocritically: "Gu Lanxi, if you nod your head and admit defeat now, you may be able to avoid the pain of your flesh and blood."
"Shameless!"
Gu Lanxi felt the other party's malicious gaze, and her pretty face turned cold!
"Since you don't know what is good and what is good, don't blame yourself for being embarrassed when the time comes!"
Gu Jiurong sneered and then walked directly off the ring.
He doesn't need to do it himself now, because the Gu family does have a rule that followers can do it for their master. Although letting others do it for themselves will be despised by the ancestors of the Gu family and those geniuses and monsters, generally speaking, even if they can stay in the Gu family
, and will not receive much reuse.
But everything has two sides!
Although the rules of the Gu family are unbreakable, there are still ways to compromise! After all, there have always been so many unpromising descendants over the years. Even the ancestors of the Gu family's immortal kings dare not say whether their lineage will be successful.
Is there any descendant with mediocre talent who would come up with such a compromise for the sake of face?
As long as you recruit powerful masters as followers, you can fight on behalf of Gu family disciples! Even this is not the first of Gu Jiurong's. More than one person in the Gu family has done this over the years, and there was even a certain disciple of the Gu family who was originally sparse and ordinary, but
Because he made friends with an extremely powerful master, he rose to prominence in the Gu family! And that master has now become one of the several immortal ancestors of the Gu family!
Li Ye squinted his eyes.
No one had noticed it before, but he had long seen the small movements behind Gu Ziang's back.
"Sir, what the little beast said is right. You will be able to do it justifiably later. I'm afraid those old guys from the Gu family still don't understand. I'll have to blind them later!"
The voice of the gold-swallowing beast sounded in Li Ye's mind.
Li Ye learned about this rule of the Gu family a few days ago.
It was precisely because of this that he was so relieved to allow Gu Lanxi to participate in the Gu family's ancestral ceremony.
Can outsiders take the shot?! This rule is simply great!
The corners of Li Ye's mouth began to rise involuntarily.
He really wanted to see what the expressions of the Tokiya family would be like when they arrived?
