"Man in the hat, you know everything, what do you think?"
The hall became quiet. Huangfu Wuji looked into the shadows and asked.
"My lord, in my opinion, those remarks slandering the Huangfu family are of no importance. They are just talking points for common people. Does it matter what ordinary people think of the Huangfu family? How much threat can they pose to the Huangfu family?"
"At most, it will just lose some image. At worst, you can wait until the limelight has passed before adults can guide public opinion. Anyway, ordinary people are the easiest to be deceived and are unruly."
The man in the hat said with a disapproving smile. These words made many of the Huangfu family members nod their heads. This was indeed the truth.
They only think about the loss of face, but if they think about it carefully, the actual loss is not big!
"Compared with the public opinion in the imperial capital, your Excellency should be more concerned about the attitudes of the various forces."
"Among the inside stories revealed by the other party this time, the worst thing is actually about the Hades Palace. Especially the matter of us hunting down the Yakuza organ owners in various places. This matter touches on the sensitive interests of all parties."
"Then the reason why Gu Chen mobilized people in Heaven to reveal these things is probably not to disgust the Huangfu family, but to make the Huangfu family hostile to various forces."
The man in the hat made an extremely reasonable analysis, which made everyone in Huangfu's family look nervous.
The Huangfu family now has the Tianjing Mansion and the Hades Palace secretly. It can be said that they are extremely powerful.
But if it offends all forces, it will still be extremely dangerous.
"Over the years, I have started from scratch and have stepped on the blood of countless people. The major forces in Kyushu are more or less overtly or covertly hostile to me. What is there to be afraid of?"
Huangfu Wuji replied calmly, not taking those people seriously.
"Jiejie, with your master's ability, you can naturally not take them to heart, but Gu Chen is obviously well prepared. I'm afraid he won't stop here and will take action later."
"Besides, sir, don't forget that our plan is about to come true. It would be bad if something unexpected happens at this time."
Huangfu Wuji's pupils shrank at the vague reminder from the man in the bamboo hat. Compared with all other things, the plan that is about to be carried out is the most important!
In this way, in order to prevent accidents, this matter must be handled properly.
"Grandpa, why should you care if you are just a remnant of the Gu family?"
At this time, Huangfu Qingming strode in from outside the hall, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Huangfu Wuji's expression softened a lot when he saw his grandson.
Compared with other people in this hall, this grandson is the most important to him.
None of the second-generation children of the Huangfu family are promising. Although there are many third-generation children, only Huangfu Qingming makes him most satisfied.
He put a lot of effort into him, and he is the undoubted next heir to the Huangfu family.
"Qing Ming, do you have any ideas?" Huangfu Wuji asked.
"It's very simple. Didn't the remnant of the Gu family advance to the finals? When it comes to the finals, I will kill him and it will be over!"
Huangfu Qingming sneered.
"The other party is the most powerful person in the world, do you have confidence?" Huangfu Wuji asked calmly.
"Humph, grandpa, I admit that your Heavenly Tyrant Bones are indeed powerful, but my innate Taoist body is not bad either! I am proficient in various spells, and I have luck with me. How can he, a barbarian from the Eastern Wilderness, compare with me?
?”
"I will let him know what despair is and make him regret that he should not appear in the sight of the Huangfu family!"
"I will peel off his skin, cut off all the flesh on his body, take out his domineering bones, and hand them over to you, Grandpa!"
Huangfu Qingming said proudly, his words full of confidence.
Everyone in the Huangfu family was excited when they heard that. Yes, no matter how arrogant the remnant of the Gu family is, when they enter the finals and meet Qing Ming, they will definitely die!
"I understand, you should prepare well for the finals. Please step aside."
Huangfu Wuji was not very happy and asked everyone else, including Huangfu Qingming, to leave the hall. In the end, only the man in the hat was left.
"Qing Ming is young and energetic. He only wants to use force to solve problems. In terms of resourcefulness, he is obviously not as good as the remnants of the Gu family. In your opinion, how should we respond?"
Huangfu Wuji said.
"Jiejie, I'm afraid Gu Chen's target is you, sir. Although I don't know what he plans to do, if he wants to bring down the Huangfu family, he alone cannot do it. Behind this, it should be the instruction of the Emperor of Heaven."
"You mean that old immortal from Heaven might take the opportunity to take action?" Huangfu Wuji frowned deeply.
"I'm afraid it's possible. After all, our Hades Palace has only been developing for a few decades, and it has developed so rapidly that it is already a threat to Heaven." The man in the hat nodded.
"The old immortal has been huddled in the Heavenly Palace for so many years. In his condition, if he takes action casually, his vitality will be greatly damaged. Why would he take such a risk?"
"Last time, Heavenly Court Taoist Jiang Yige investigated our affairs, and his subordinates suspected that Heavenly Emperor already knew about our relationship with Huangquan Tower."
The man in the bamboo hat flashed in his eyes.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder."
Huangfu Wuji's pupils shrank.
"In your opinion, if I had a duel with that old immortal now, what are the chances of winning?"
The man in the bamboo hat pondered for a moment. "The Emperor of Heaven has lived for nine thousand years, mastered the unique skill of Emperor of Heaven's Time Fist, and possesses the two greatest treasures, the Time Stone and the Book of Heaven. With your current strength, sir, if you fight him, even if you can win, you will definitely win."
It’s a miserable victory.”
Huangfu Wuji grinned and sneered. "You are too polite. If that old immortal fights me with the determination to die, I will definitely die!"
"But it's impossible for him to do that. He cherishes his own life more than anyone else."
The man in the bamboo hat smiled strangely.
"No matter what, no matter what the remnant of the Gu family wants to do, we cannot give the Emperor of Heaven a reason to take action, especially at this juncture!"
"I guess the old immortal mainly wants to test my background, not to defeat him to death. You think of a way to force Gu Chen to withdraw from the conference. In this way, no matter what his plans are, they will all come to nothing!"
Huangfu Wuji said.
"Sir, that kid is obsessed with kicking you off the altar and withdrawing from the conference. I'm afraid I can only count on the emperor."
Huangfu Wuji's heart moved. "I understand what you mean."
…
On the second day of the tournament, the competition between the third and fourth divisions was in full swing.
After experiencing the staggering battle situation in the second division, the battles in the third and fourth divisions returned to normal, with the battle situation being very stalemate and tragic.
But today, in addition to watching the game, the audience was talking about the news that shocked the whole of Luoyang last night.
Even at the VIP table, there were many big shots discussing matters about the Huangfu family.
And Huangfu Wuji was not present to watch the battle today!
"Huangfude, why didn't your father come over today?"
