Shen Yanhong was delighted to hear this. Where did he come from? He actually wanted to see his grandfather.
You must know that his grandfather has many things to do, so he can be seen by anyone casually. Even he rarely sees him on weekdays.
"I, Chen Gu, would like to see Master Shen."
Gu Chen frowned, thinking that the young man didn't hear clearly.
"Where are you from? You don't look like you are from Luoyang, right? Tell you, my grandfather is very busy, how can he meet you?"
Shen Yanhong was originally disgusted with this man's sneakiness, but when he saw that he looked unconcerned and that he was an outsider, he felt sympathy and explained patiently.
"Shen Xudong's grandson..."
Gu Chen murmured in his heart, this man looked younger than himself, so wouldn't he be his cousin?
You must know that the Gu family has only three generations. Gu Chen has never had any brothers or sisters. Now that there is a blood-related cousin, it feels a little different.
This kid was tough-headed, but not unpleasant to look at. Gu Chen said patiently, "Please tell me that Chen Gu is asking to see Master Shen. I believe he will definitely meet me."
Seeing the determined expression on Gu Chen's face, Shen Yanhong was shaken. Could this person really have some background?
"Then you wait here and I'll go ask."
After he muttered a few words, he passed the guard at the door and walked quickly into the house.
"Chen Gu Chen Gu, why does this name sound so familiar?"
As he walked, he tilted his head and thought hard about where he had heard this name.
Gu Chen stood outside Shen's house and waited patiently, curious whether he could see his mother directly later.
My name has now spread throughout Kyushu. With my mother's intelligence and understanding of herself, she might have already guessed who she is.
Not long after, a large group of people came out of Shen's residence, but the leader was not Shen Xudong. Gu Chen didn't see his mother either. Only Shen Yanhong from before was following the group of people stupidly.
"But Master Chen Guchen of Heavenly Court?"
The leader was a middle-aged man whose face looked somewhat similar to Shen Xudong. When he saw Gu Chen, he asked solemnly.
Gu Chen nodded. "That's right."
"You're welcome from afar, please come in."
The middle-aged man looked at each other and quickly invited Gu Chen into the mansion.
"My father is currently in the palace and will not come back until evening, so I cannot receive Mr. Chen in person. I hope you will forgive me."
The middle-aged man quickly announced his name. He turned out to be Shen Xudong's eldest son Shen Pengyuan, who was also Gu Chen's uncle!
The elders of the Shen family already knew that the Shen family was responsible for receiving Chen Gu who was attending the Zhuzi Banquet. They adhered to the rules of the etiquette family and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.
"Senior Shen, you are so polite. I feel sorry for you that I have to disturb the Shen family for a few days. How dare you ask Master Shen to receive you in person?"
Gu Chen appeared gentle, humble and polite, which surprised all the elders of the Shen family.
There are so many rumors about this boy these days. Apart from his almost demonic talent, he gives people the impression of being arrogant and unruly. In addition, he is a heavenly killer, which makes him feel even more cold-blooded and brutal. Already.
But I didn't expect that the real person would be so polite and polite.
For a while, the elders of the Shen family all had a better impression of Gu Chen.
Shen Pengyuan invited Gu Chen to have tea, and chatted with him for a while with several senior Shen parents.
Because they are all disciples of Confucianism, they are inevitably literate in their speech, and they prefer to talk about poetry and classics.
After all, Gu Chen had spent a long time in the library building of Zhenwu Academy and had read countless books. In addition, he had the ability of photographic memory, and he spoke clearly every time he opened his mouth, making him appear to be knowledgeable.
This is very rare for young people of his age. Considering that the other party was originally a killer and devoted himself to training, several people in the Shen family were even more impressed.
"I've heard for a long time that it's better to meet him. Mr. Chen is really outstanding. He is a good talent in the rough."
Shen Pengyuan couldn't help but sigh, and then glanced at Shen Yanhong who was sitting in the corner.
"It would be great if my son was half as powerful as Mr. Chen. This kid can't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. He is a disgrace to me, the lintel of the Shen family."
Gu Chen burst out laughing after hearing this. It was really embarrassing that a third-generation descendant of the most famous Confucian family could not even recite the Four Books and Five Classics.
His cheap uncle was quite straightforward, so he talked about it all.
"Dad, I want to practice cultivation, but I don't want to become a Confucian scholar!"
Shen Yanhong suddenly said unconvinced.
"What nonsense are you talking about! My Shen family has been famous as a Confucian scholar for generations. What's wrong with being a Confucian scholar?"
Shen Pengyuan scolded.
"Confucian disciples have no power to restrain a chicken, how can they protect the safety of my Shen family in the future?"
Shen Yanhong said immediately. Gu Chen was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that at such a young age, he could think so far.
Children aged thirteen or fourteen were worried about the safety of the Shen family. Gu Chen couldn't help but think about it. It seemed that despite the prosperity of the Shen family, there was also a hidden crisis.
"Who said that Confucian disciples are powerless? If you reach the level of a great Confucian, and you are full of awe-inspiring righteousness, you will be able to outperform most monks."
Shen Pengyuan retorted, feeling a little regretful about mentioning this kid in front of outsiders. This kid has always said that he doesn't speak lightly or seriously.
"Father, you also said that only great Confucians can do that. How many great Confucians can there be in the entire Jiuzhou? Our Shen family needs other protection!"
Shen Yanhong immediately said again.
"My Shen family has been working for the welfare of the people of Jiuzhou for generations. As long as the people of Jiuzhou are here, no one can touch my Shen family."
Shen Pengyuan argued.
"This idea is wrong, my aunt said..."
Shen Yanhong immediately wanted to refute, but Shen Pengyuan didn't want to argue with him.
"Okay, shut up! I'll punish you by writing four letters silently. You won't be allowed to eat until you finish writing today!"
Shen Yanhong looked unconvinced, but knowing that there were guests there, he did not dare to argue anymore and left in frustration.
However, Gu Chen captured the key point in his words, and his heart rippled.
Could that aunt be the mother?
Gu Chen and Shen Pengyuan chatted for a while, and then pretended that they were tired from the journey and needed a rest before ending the conversation with them about scriptures and Taoism.
Gu Chen was placed in a quiet courtyard. As soon as he moved in, he thought about where to find his mother.
He had used his spiritual sense to spy out that there were many places in Shen's mansion that were protected by magic circles. His mother might live in any of them. It would be a waste of time to look for them one by one.
While Gu Chen was thinking, someone knocked on his door.
“Just in time!”
Gu Chen's eyes lit up and he immediately opened the door. A young man with a tiger-like face came over and smiled shyly.
"Aren't you supposed to be punished by copying four books? Why are you here?"
Gu Chen looked indifferent and asked casually.
Shen Yanhong entered the room familiarly and looked at Gu Chen fawningly.
"Brother Chen, I almost blocked you from the door because I was blind before. Please forgive me."
"You're welcome, tell me, what's the matter with you?"
