Gradually, the atmosphere inside the Gu family became a bit full of gunpowder.
Many elders even stood up and pointed out that there must be an explanation for this matter!
In this situation, even those who originally realized that there was something fishy about the matter found it difficult to speak.
Gu Taiqing’s whereabouts are unknown!
Life and death are even more unknown!
It is definitely a huge blow to the Gu family!
Nowadays, the Gu family can be said to be experiencing internal and external troubles.
The Chen family and the Liao family are watching eagerly outside, and they have even taken action themselves! There are also various forces inside and outside Tianyuan City who are watching closely. So many people have died in Wulou, and the Gu family must give an explanation!
And within the Gu family, there was even more panic due to various rumors.
In the Gu family's meeting hall, a group of elders, headed by the head of the family Gu Qiufeng, were looking serious.
At the same time, Gu Lanxi was standing in the hall.
"Gu Lanxi, what else do you have to say?"
An elder of the Gu family asked coldly.
On this occasion, only when a major incident occurs in the Gu family, a group of their elders will be seen gathered here, and the head of the family will be interrogated face to face. No matter from which aspect, it can be noticed that the Gu family's attitude towards Gu Lanxi has changed again.
.
"I don't know what you are talking about!"
Gu Lanxi actually knew it was a Hongmen Banquet before she came, but what surprised her even more after she came was that the Gu family's reaction this time was more serious than she imagined.
Those elders no longer even looked at her with disgust, but were replaced with murderous intent.
It can be said that if Gu Lanxi had not been deprived of his status as a disciple of the family, some of them would have taken action themselves!
"You don't know what we are talking about? Humph!"
really!
One of the elders roared angrily!
Looking in the direction of the sound, Gu Lanxi recognized at a glance that this old man was the father of Gu Jiurong, a former direct disciple who was expelled from the family on the day of the family's ancestor worship.
"Gu Lanxi, the purpose of our coming to you is very simple. To tell us about your collusion with the Chen family and the Liao family, and then tell us where the traitor Li Ye is now! As long as you tell the truth, our Gu family will remember you.
For the sake of my bloodline, I can spare your life."
Another elder spoke coldly.
There is no reason at all. Now most people in the Gu family believe that the Chen family and the Liao family suddenly attacked Wu Lou. The life and death of the first genius of the family, Gu Taiqing, is unknown. The mastermind behind this is Gu Lanxi!
"I have nothing to do with the Chen family and the Liao family! You are slandering me!"
Gu Lanxi was shaking with anger. She really didn't expect that something like this would happen just a short time after returning to the family.
The key family didn't even conduct any investigation and directly determined that she was the person who colluded with the Chen family and the Liao family. Such behavior made her feel towards the Gu family once again lowered.
She bit her red lips lightly and looked at the people present with unyielding eyes, the pillars and core senior officials of the Gu family.
Bang!
Gu Qiufeng's face was livid, and he smashed the table next to him with one palm. There was a terrifying cold light in his eyes.
Even the other valley elders present were frightened.
"Gu Lanxi! You have to think carefully! You are the shame of our Gu family, and it is a great kindness to have you return to the family! It's okay if you don't appreciate the kindness, but now you are repaying the favor with revenge! A bastard is a bastard!
Tell me! Where is this little thief Li Ye! How did you collude with the Chen family and the Liao family?! If you don’t tell me! I want you to understand what it means to live but not to die!"
By this time, Gu Qiufeng was no longer too lazy to continue to cover up, his face was sullen, and his eyes burst out with a terrifying cold light and murderous intent!
That look made everyone else present a little frightened.
At the same time, they also understood that Gu Lanxi was really unable to make a comeback this time. Everyone originally knew that Gu Qiufeng was the faction in the family that was most opposed to Gu Lanxi's return to the family, and was even ashamed of it.
Originally, due to the relationship between the family's ancestors, the family head's group had no way to deal with Gu Lanxi for the time being. Who would have thought that this incident would happen.
In this way, it actually gave the family owner an excuse.
"Gu Lanxi, although the head of the family sounded a little harsh, this matter is related to the future plans of our Gu family! You can't hold a grudge and insist on going your own way just because of that incident! Although our Gu family is biased towards your parents, but you
When you return to the family, now that you are the disciple of the family heir, the family will not treat you badly in any way!"
The elders present were not all on the side of Gu Qiufeng, the head of the family. Some of the elders were relatively soft-hearted. At this moment, someone spoke up to persuade him.
"As long as you are willing to tell the whereabouts of this little thief Li Ye, and explain what the Chen family and the Liao family are planning behind the scenes, I can guarantee that several elders of the family will consider this matter, and maybe you can be allowed to stay in the family.
, but it’s impossible to continue to give you the identity of this successor’s disciple.”
The successor disciple has a very special status in the Gu family, comparable to the elders, and even more powerful than the elders!
Any disciple, even the head of the family, cannot deprive them of their identity at will. If you want to depose a disciple, you need at least the consent of the head of the family and the elders of the Gu family. Even if only one clan elder disagrees, it will be difficult to do this.
Of course, there is another way, which is to hold a family ancestral ceremony every hundred years. If a successor disciple is challenged and defeated, he will automatically lose his status as a successor disciple.
Therefore, for countless years, the disciples of the Gu family have been passed down from generation to generation. Apart from being defeated in the ancestral ceremony, very few have been deposed for other reasons.
Last time, Gu Qingqing, the most talented person in the Gu family and the most beautiful girl in Tianyuan City, ignored her family's objections and eloped with an unknown person. Only then were all the elders and head of the Gu family deprived her of her status as the heir apparent and disciple of the family.
I just didn't expect that after so many years, the person who would face the same situation this time would be her daughter.
The world is full of troubles, who can think of it in advance?
"Elders, I have nothing to do with the Chen family and the Liao family! Heaven is my witness!"
Gu Lanxi said coldly, "I am willing to swear an oath to heaven and earth!"
As soon as these words came out, all the family elders present hesitated.
After all, the oath of heaven and earth is not made casually. Once the oath is made, it will be difficult for even powerful immortals and demons like them to break it.
"It's really not you?"
An elder frowned and asked.
"I will swear it!"
As a result, everyone fell silent.
But this time.
"Gu Lanxi, how do you explain why the Chen family and the Liao family learned that Gu Taiqing appeared in Wulou? Even we didn't know about this in advance, and there are only a handful of people in our Gu family who know his whereabouts! Except for
Apart from you and Li Ye, there is only Mr. Di! Are you trying to say that Mr. Di was the one who leaked the whereabouts of Gu Taiqing? "
Gu Qiufeng asked coldly!
The elders present all shook their heads.
Gu Zidi's status in the Gu family is too high, second only to the ancestors who practice in Taichen Palace. Even other elders of the Immortal Lord clan usually listen to Elder Di's opinions.
It's just that Gu Zidi rarely interferes in family affairs, and is in a state of semi-seclusion, which makes her appear to have a detached status.
Did he leak his whereabouts?
They didn't believe it! Who didn't know that Gu Taiqing's biggest backers in the Gu family were the ancestors of Taichen Palace and Mr. Di? It can be said that Gu Taiqing has been completely unscrupulous in the family in recent years, and everyone knew that he had outstanding talents.
, is the hope of the family. Secondly, it is also because Gu Zidi, the most senior elder in the family, is protecting him, and others are helpless.
"Mr. Di will never reveal his whereabouts. Apart from Mr. Di, the only people who know about this matter are you and Li Ye!"
Gu Qiufeng's voice is so cold that it makes people shiver, every word!
This is also the reason why the Gu family now believes that Gu Lanxi has something to do with this matter. Besides her, who else knew about it in advance?
"Even so, it doesn't prove that this matter has anything to do with me!"
Gu Lanxi argued hard.
But the effect is minimal.
An elder asked in a deep voice: "If it wasn't you, how could you explain Li Ye's sudden whereabouts? It is said that Gu Taiqing personally invited him to compete with him in the martial arts building! And now that Li Ye is missing, is he still there?
Can’t prove the problem?”
Gu Lanxi opened her mouth, but couldn't answer.
Because Li Ye's whereabouts are indeed unknown, no one can see where he is.
Even after searching through Tianyuan City, no one could be found!
The only places that the Gu family cannot search at will are the Chen family and the Liao family. In this way, even if some elders feel that there is something fishy about this matter and that Gu Lanxi may have been wrongly accused, there is not much to say.
"Come here! Put Gu Lanxi under house arrest and wait until the head of this family reports this matter to the clan elders before making a decision!"
Gu Qiufeng said loudly, and immediately saw several masters from the Gu family appear, looking at Gu Lanxi coldly.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Lanxi, a successor disciple who has only gained power for a few days, may be completely defeated this time! Even if he is proven innocent in the end, he may not be able to keep his status as a successor disciple!
In a family like the Gu family, no one would be polite to a disciple who has lost his position, and even those who had grievances in the past would seek revenge. They would never waste such a hard-won opportunity.
Of course, many people will assess the situation, but with the current situation, Gu Lanxi has no chance of making a comeback in their eyes.
In this case, why are they being polite?
"Gu Lanxi, when the head of our family reports to the clan elders that they have taken away your identity as a successor disciple, then you will know what the consequences of betraying the family will be!"
Gu Qiufeng sneered and waved his hand.
Some people have already said that Gu Lanxi was brought down.
Of course, no one will take action against Gu Lanxi now. She still has the identity of a successor disciple, but everyone knows that this identity cannot protect her for long. Once the identity is taken away, it will be her death!
"The pure will self-purify! Gu Qiufeng, you said that I colluded with the Chen family and the Liao family! Just bring out the evidence! If there is no evidence, what qualifications do you have to convict me! The Gu family is not your Gu Qiufeng's family alone! I believe it
You clan elders know everything clearly and will never be fooled by your few words!"
Before being taken away, Gu Lanxi said in a cold voice, each word precise and sonorous.
But Gu Qiufeng just sneered and didn't take it seriously at all.
As for the other family elders, most of them shook their heads and did not particularly believe it. A few even had sneers and sarcasm on their faces. They were the elders of the clan head. Even Gu Jiurong’s parents are now because of their son’s death on the day of the ancestral sacrifice.
After being kicked out of the family, now he is completely on Gu Qiufeng's side.
Waiting for someone to be taken away.
The news spread throughout the Gu family immediately.
Everyone learned about this.
"Gu Lanxi, I'm afraid I'm going to be completely screwed up this time!"
"I didn't expect that she had only returned to the family for a long time. I originally thought that she, a fierce dragon across the river, would stir up troubles within the family and hope to hit the core and senior leaders of the family in the future. I didn't expect that she would lose power so quickly."
Many people were talking about it. After all, it was rare for a successor disciple to lose power, let alone lose power so quickly and be about to be deprived of his status.
The Gu family seems to have only done this two or three times over the years, and the last time it was Gu Qingqing.
"Like mother, like daughter. Her mother was like this back then, and she is like this now. It's karma!"
"I didn't expect that this bitch would betray our Gu family and collude with the Chen family and the Liao family for personal grudges! Even if it means death, it will be difficult to apologize!"
"This matter hasn't been finalized yet, isn't it hard to put it that way?"
"Gu Tianchen, do you think the head of the family and the elders have wronged the wrong person?"
Some people sneered repeatedly.
As a disciple of the heir of the family, Gu Tianchen was speechless, although he always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
But Gu Taiqing disappeared and his life and death were unknown. The Chen family and the Liao family knew Gu Taiqing's whereabouts in advance, and suddenly attacked and killed him! What a coincidence!
If an insider hadn't revealed the news, how would the Chen family and the Liao family know about it?
When a tree falls, the hozens scatter; when a wall falls, everyone pushes it away.
Gu Lanxi has no foundation at all in the Gu family. Unlike other disciples, she has already accumulated foundation and strength, and has the support of some elders and even clan elders behind her.
On the contrary, Gu Lanxi was now alone, and suddenly lost power. Her family was deserted, and even the servants who served her had become cold.
The world is hot and cold, and that’s how human nature is.
And this time.
A villa in the Gu family.
study.
"Father, things are going very smoothly. There is absolutely no chance that this cheap servant like Gu Lanxi will turn around this time!"
As the head of the Gu family, Gu Qiufeng seemed a little unusually excited at the moment, and he was even more happy that a great revenge had been avenged.
He could not forget the look of despair in his only son Gu Ziang's eyes before his death.
In the study, there was still the same old man.
Hearing this, he just raised his head and glanced slightly. His reaction was dull and his eyes remained calm.
"What are the opinions of other clan elders?"
"Depose Gu Lanxi as the successor's disciple, and then ask her about the whereabouts of that little beast. I want to see his corpse or live in person!"
The old man did not make a sound, but fell into deep thought for a short time.
Then he nodded: "In that case, continue to push forward. In addition, Gu Taiqing's life and death must be confirmed!"
There is no room for error in this matter, so rather than taking the opportunity to get rid of Gu Lanxi, ensuring that Gu Taiqing is really dead is the top priority.
Hearing this, Gu Qiufeng quickly said: "Father, don't worry, this time the Chen family and the Liao family are willing to go to war like this, Gu Taiqing will definitely die! I heard that when Gu Zidi and other clan elders rushed to Wu Lou, the place was already littered with corpses and in ruins
