"Your father...he is practicing in a secret place somewhere in our clan."
It was the Great Elder who answered Gu Chen. After he finished speaking, the whole place was silent. No one refuted or responded.
"No matter how hard you practice, you won't even see me anymore, right?" Gu Chen smiled bitterly. Why did he feel that the great elder's words were not true?
"You don't know something. When your father first returned to the clan four years ago, he was extremely eager for strength, so he practiced hard. The secret place he entered was special and completely isolated from the outside world. Once the monks started practicing,
What does a few years mean?"
"So he doesn't know about your return. He will naturally come back when he succeeds in his cultivation, and then you and your son will naturally be reunited."
The Great Elder explained.
Gu Chen looked at him and then glanced at the other people present.
The elders all remained silent, their expressions unchanged.
He was keenly aware of some problems, but seeing that everyone clearly did not want to reveal more details to him, he nodded sensibly.
"I see, this junior understands."
Seeing that he did not hold back on this matter, many elders actually looked relieved.
Gu Chen noticed this and felt a little cold in his heart. What happened to his father?
After answering this question, the meeting ended, and Gu Lianyue took Gu Chen to his residence.
Along the way, some tribesmen took the initiative to greet Gu Chen and expressed their closeness, while others stood in the distance and pointed at him, and could vaguely hear contemptuous laughter.
Gu Chen was worried, and the elder's answer about his father's whereabouts made him very worried, but when he asked others about the matter, they refused to discuss it in detail with him.
He could only pretend to be indifferent and planned to slowly investigate the matter after the Gu clan had established a foothold.
"Cousin, what do you think is my chance of winning in a clan competition?"
After leaving the clan ancestral hall and on the way to his residence, Gu Chen asked Gu Lianyue.
He gradually became familiar with Gu Lianyue, and she was one of the few people in the clan he could trust, so he changed his tune.
Although he decided to attend the clan meeting without much thought in the ancestral hall, he actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.
He didn't know the overall level of the younger generation of the Gu clan. If they were all masters like Gu Lianyue, it would be extremely difficult for him to get into the top three.
It's just that he has no choice. He has to enter the ancestral land no matter what. If Cangtian Ba's bones are not repaired, his whole person will seem incomplete.
When Gu Lianyue saw that Gu Chen had changed her name, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"All the younger generations of the six lines of the Gu clan can be roughly divided into three levels."
"What three levels?" Gu Chen became interested.
"The first level is Gu Zhaixing and I. His and I's strength has reached the Dharmakaya realm. There is a list of the top ten geniuses in the Fairy Continent, and he and I are both included in it."
"If you meet the two of us, you won't be able to stop us in one round."
Gu Chen's expression condensed when he heard that, "So, the top three in the clan meeting only leaves the third place that I can fight for?"
"Thirdly, you don't have a share either, because under the two of me, there are a group of disciples in the Dharma Realm."
"Several of this group of people have already developed the top magical power [Domineering Ambition]. When you meet them, you will also suffer hatred."
"The third level is the Heavenly Realm and below. Only clansmen at this level have a chance of winning. If I say this, do you still want to participate in the clan meeting?"
Her tone was full of ridicule, and Gu Chen couldn't help but shake his head. "Cousin, just tell me the real situation."
He could tell that Gu Lianyue was being alarmist.
"You are quite smart." Gu Lianyue snorted coldly.
This cousin has always been calm and calm since they met, far more sophisticated and mature than his age, so she wanted to scare him, but she didn't expect him to see through it at a glance.
Seeing that the other party was not fooled, she stopped teasing him and told the truth.
"The three levels of the younger generation in the clan that I just mentioned are actually correct, but you won't meet so many masters at this clan meeting."
"I am twenty-five years old this year. I have won the clan competition in the early years and have entered the ancestral land. Naturally, I will not participate in the competition again. Gu Zhaixing is twenty-two years old this year. Although he still meets the requirements, he is the clan leader.
The direct descendants of that lineage have already entered the ancestral land unconditionally."
"Speaking of this, it turns out that your lineage is the direct lineage, and you are the only candidate for your lineage. This spot should have been yours. Speaking of which, Gu Zhaixing took your spot."
Gu Chen didn't care when he heard that. The identity of his family was taken away decades ago when he was born. It doesn't make sense to talk about it now.
According to Gu Lianyue, neither of the two geniuses in the clan would participate in the competition, and his chances were suddenly greatly increased!
"Go on." He couldn't help but smile.
Gu Lianyue rolled her eyes at him and explained her analysis.
"In addition to the two of us who will not be participating, there are several other masters who are still in the Dharma Realm and have already entered the ancestral land, so the number of your powerful enemies is reduced."
"When most of the children in the clan heard that you were going to attend the clan meeting, they thought that your broken bones were not a threat, but I don't think so."
"You have killed monks in the Dharma Realm on Penglai Immortal Island, and you have persisted for so long under the siege of so many enemies, which shows your strength. According to my estimation, among all the younger generations participating in the clan meeting this time, your strength is probably between
Middle and upper reaches.”
"So you actually have a chance of entering the top three. The premise is that you are lucky and don't encounter the most difficult people at the beginning."
"Is it just the middle and upper reaches?" Gu Chen was not satisfied with this analysis. In this case, he wanted to obtain the top three variables.
"This evaluation is already very high." Gu Lianyue rolled her eyes. At present, everyone else in the clan regarded Gu Chen as a defenseless waste.
But she found this interesting when she thought about it, and looked forward to what would happen when the clans competed in martial arts.
Some of the children in the clan have always had a high self-esteem, and she thought it would be fun to let Gu Chen, who came back from outside, teach them a lesson.
"Cousin, can you tell me which opponents I need to pay attention to, and what are their magical powers?"
Gu Chen tried to get close to Gu Lianyue, hoping to get useful information from her.
"If you want to know, go to Bawu Pavilion tomorrow. Your residence has arrived."
Gu Lianyue said, the two of them had already arrived at their destination.
This place is located in a remote alley on the east side of Dahuang Ancient Town, far away from the clan ancestral hall and the family mansion.
Gu Chen took a look at his residence and saw that although the building was old, the yard was quiet and he was quite satisfied.
Just as he was about to turn around and ask Gu Lianyue about Bawu Pavilion, he saw that she had already walked away and her voice came from afar.
"Instead of relying on this set of information from me, it is better to go to Bawu Pavilion tomorrow and find out. You have just come back and have a good rest. Your father has lived here and is very satisfied with it. I believe you will also like it."
