A middle-aged man with a heavy waist and sideburns and an outstanding temperament stepped into the hospital at the perfect time.
"Master?"
The second uncle of the Tang family was stunned, and Gu Chen's eyes fell on the face of the visitor. It seemed that this person was Tang Xuance, the head of the Tang family, the commander of the Peiguo Water Dance Army, and the father of Tang Jianqing!
"Second brother, what's going on?"
Tang Xuance came closer, glanced at Gu Chongfeng, who was unable to move, and asked with a frown.
The second uncle of the Tang family was about to answer when Gu Chen spoke first. "I heard that the Tang family is not going to support me as a priest. May I ask the head of the Tang family if this is the case?"
Hearing this, Tang Xuance showed surprise on his face. "This is Mr. Chen Yichen, right? How could this happen? You are my son's savior. How can I, the Tang family, go back on your word?"
He denied the matter as soon as he opened his mouth, and his statement was completely different from that of the second uncle of the Tang family.
"Master, the matter of worship is of great importance and should not be taken lightly..." The second uncle of the Tang family could not help but interject, but Tang Xuance waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Gao Landu has told me. Since she has promised, and Mr. Chen has saved my son's life twice, I, the Tang family, will naturally follow through on her word."
"From today on, Mr. Chen will be a worshiper of my Tang family, and he will enjoy the same treatment as the other two worshippers. Pass my words on and tell the whole family. From now on, you will not be negligent when you see Mr. Chen!"
Tang Xuance was so resolute that he decided the matter in just a few sentences and did not allow the second uncle of the Tang family to waste any time.
The second uncle of the Tang family stared, seeming a little puzzled, but he did not dare to openly contradict the family leader, so he could only agree.
Gu Chen looked at Tang Xuance who had repaid his kindness with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and the originally tense atmosphere quietly resolved.
"What happened to Gu Gongfeng?"
After handling the matter, Tang Xuance seemed to notice Gu Chongfeng, who was standing there blankly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Gu Chen smiled, but with a thought in his mind, Gu Gongfeng suddenly regained his mobility.
As soon as he was free, Gu Chongfeng subconsciously took a few steps away from Gu Chen, his eyes showing deep fear, but his expression turned red.
With the weird situation just now, if no one else was around, he suspected that he might be poisoned by the other party!
"I was busy with my affairs the past two days, so I didn't take the time to see Mr. Chen until today. I ask for your forgiveness, Mr. Chen."
Tang Xuance explained to Gu Chen politely, without the slightest arrogance of a high-ranking person.
"Master Tang, you're so polite. Didn't you send these three people to meet me?" Gu Chen responded in a nonchalant manner, indicating what he meant.
"If my second brother made a mistake just now, I would like to apologize to Mr. Chen on his behalf."
Tang Xuance said with a serious face, and actually gave a big salute to Gu Chen as he spoke.
This scene not only made the second uncle of the Tang family look shocked and hesitated for a while, but also made the two worshipers extremely surprised.
Although they have a high status in the Tang family as worshipers, they never dare to show any disrespect to the head of the Tang family. Most of the time, they are positioned as his subordinates.
As the commander-in-chief of the Pei Kingdom, Tang Xuance possessed tremendous energy, which was far beyond what casual cultivators like them could compare with.
Although Tang Xuance was usually courteous to virtuous corporals, it was extremely rare for him to assume such a low profile when he just met someone.
The two people's hearts swayed for a while. Could it be that the origin of this young man was far simpler than they imagined?
Tang Xuance was condescending, but Gu Chen was indifferent and said with a smile, "Master Tang, please forgive me."
His attitude was like an elder treating a younger generation, which seemed quite arrogant and made the second uncle of the Tang family look angry.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your magnanimity."
However, Tang Xuance did not get angry at all. He accepted the gift politely and said, "I have prepared wine and came to invite Mr. Chen to the banquet. I wonder if Mr. Chen can give me a favor?"
The meaning behind his words was that he was here to invite Gu Chen to the banquet in person, and he could just send a servant to inform him.
With so much sincerity, Gu and Xu would have agreed without even thinking about it, but Gu Chen just looked teasing.
"I'm not free today, so I'll skip the drinking."
Don’t give any face, just reject it outright!
"Don't be too arrogant, kid!" The second uncle of the Tang family was furious and couldn't help but speak.
The two worshipers were also greatly surprised. Is this guy too disrespectful to the commander of the Shui Wu Army?
However, they were not fools. Looking at the arrogant and condescending attitudes of the two men, they vaguely guessed something and remained silent.
"Am I arrogant? Master Tang, is this how you treat guests?"
Gu Chen glanced at the second uncle of the Tang family coldly, and his words contained murderous intent, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Tang Xuance's face tightened, and he turned to his second brother and shouted: "Step back, don't be rude!"
The second uncle of the Tang family had a face full of disbelief and his eyes were blank.
Although his younger brother is the head of the family, has he ever had such an attitude towards him in daily life?
Now it is clear that Zhu Zi is arrogant and arrogant, but he blames himself for not being so. What is going on?
The Tang family's second uncle's face turned dark, he snorted heavily, turned around and walked away, not wanting to stay here and bring trouble to himself.
Tang Xuance ignored him and turned to Gu Chen politely: "Since Mr. Chen is not free today, I won't bother you and will visit you another day. If Mr. Chen needs anything, just ask Gao Lan or Jian Qing."
"
After he finished speaking, he resigned. Naturally, the two worshipers had no reason to stay here. They looked at Gu Chen a few more times and left angrily.
They originally accompanied the second uncle of the Tang family to chase people away, but they didn't expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse, leaving them speechless and even a little aggrieved.
When everyone was gone, the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex, who had been lying in the courtyard, lazily basking in the sun, showed a puzzled look and said, "What's going on with the Tang family? The one who came before was arrogant and domineering, and the one who came after him was arrogant and domineering.
But he humbles himself and is still the head of the family."
"The first one was just being used and came here to test my true and false abilities. The second one... this Tang Xuance is a smart man, but it's a pity that being smart is not a good thing." Gu Chen sneered.
It is somewhat understandable that the second uncle of the Tang family did not understand his situation and felt that he was not worthy of the enshrinement position, but it was impossible for Tang Xuance not to know.
Tang Jianqing did not dare to tell outsiders about his killing of Shao Heyang and the dwarf old man, but there was no reason to hide it from his own father.
On the first day after returning to the Tang Mansion, Tang Jianqing was called by the head of the Tang family. Gu Chen believed that he should have understood his situation that day.
Now that he knows his own strength, there is nothing he would be reluctant to give up the position enshrined by the Tang family, but Tang Xuance has never come to discuss the matter.
Gu Chen had already been a little confused about this, but today the second uncle of the Tang family came to the door like a stupid man looking for trouble, and Tang Xuance arrived in such a timely manner, he immediately understood the other party's intention.
