"Qingshi, remember to be more ruthless when you attack later. It's best not to give him any chance to show off."
The conversation returned to Gu Qingshi, and Gu Yuanshan whispered to him in a joking tone.
At the elders' meeting, he told the other elders to watch Gu Chen's performance today before deciding whether to make an exception and allow him to enter the ancestral land. It sounded like it could be discussed.
But in fact, it was just a delaying tactic, and he had no intention of giving Daoshu's lineage any chance.
In today's battle, as long as Qingshi defeats Gu Chen cleanly and embarrasses him, the people in the Presbyterian Church will have no reason to support him in entering the ancestral land.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Zu, I won't give that kid any chance." Gu Qingshi smiled solemnly.
Everyone in the audience felt sorry for Gu Chen because he picked Gu Qingshi as his opponent. Even the great elder Gu Yao frowned, feeling that he was really unlucky.
But no one noticed that when Gu Chen saw Gu Qingshi's name written on the token he drew, the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of joy.
Without showing much emotion, he handed the drawn token to the family elder, then returned to his original position, quietly waiting for the game to begin.
"This kid seems to be a little different."
Among all the people, only Gu Lianyue looked at Gu Chen with a trace of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.
Among the Gu clan, she had the most contact with Gu Chen, so she was keenly aware of some changes in him.
For some reason, she always felt that the other person's temperament had changed, from being a bit heavy and sharp to being elegant and elegant.
The order of the competition soon came out, and the young disciples of the Gu clan took the stage one after another.
The battle between Gu Chen and Gu Qingshi was scheduled for the third game.
In the first match, the two Gu clan disciples were both at the Heavenly Realm. The battle between the two was tepid, and the winner was decided quickly. The expressions of the elders who were watching did not change at all.
The person who came on the field in the second game made Gu Chen take a few more glances, because the person who came on the field was clearly Gu Ziyan, whom he had met once before.
This woman's strength has already reached the Dharma Realm, and like Gu Qingshi, she is recognized as one of the top ten masters among the younger generation in the clan.
In this year's clan competition, her name was among the people who were considered the most promising to win the top three.
She is from the Dongji lineage. As soon as she came on stage, many young people applauded and cheered for her.
Gu Ziyan has a delicate appearance and a good personality, so she is very popular in the clan.
In comparison, her opponent seemed a bit unknown. As soon as he came on the stage, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Cousin Zi Yan, please show mercy."
He was a rough man, but when he said these words, he immediately attracted a burst of boos. His father who was not far away became even more angry and blushed so hard that he almost came up and kicked him.
"OK."
Gu Ziyan smiled sweetly, and her next move was indeed very important.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that her strength far overwhelms her opponent, but she deliberately showed mercy, showing that the opponent regretfully retreated after a fierce battle between the two.
This was of great benefit to her opponent, who looked at her gratefully at the end.
Her performance immediately attracted countless fans, but Gu Ziyan just smiled and exited the ring.
At this time, Gu Chen walked forward and it was his turn to fight.
Gu Ziyan happened to pass by him and suddenly stopped. "Cousin Gu Chen, I am looking forward to your performance."
Gu Chen glanced at her in surprise. "Others think I am very unlucky. What are you expecting?"
"I have already inquired from Ding Yao. Cousin Gu Chen thinks differently from the clan members." Gu Ziyan's beautiful eyes flashed.
"Oh? Then what do you think my chances of winning this battle are?" Gu Chen raised the corner of his mouth.
"I don't understand. After all, cousin Gu Chen and I are not familiar with each other, but with my cousin's character, even if Gu Qingshi can win, he will suffer a big loss in the subsequent battles, right?" Gu Ziyan said.
"Really? Then you guessed wrong."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he strode onto the ring.
Gu Ziyan frowned slightly when she heard this. What did Gu Chen mean? Didn't he even have the confidence to let Gu Qingshi break his muscles and bones?
You know, he was hunted down by the monks of Penglai Immortal Island, and he destroyed dozens of their islands in a rage. Such a person has ruthlessness in his bones.
Gu Ziyan was still thinking about the meaning of Gu Chen's words, but Gu Chen was already standing on the ring, looking coldly at Gu Qingshi coming from the other side.
As soon as Gu Qingshi took the stage, many young people in the audience began to cheer for him, including Gu Renyuan, who had been taught a lesson by Gu Chen before.
"Cousin Qingshi, teach that boy a lesson!"
"How long can Gu Chen last under cousin Qingshi's hands?"
"How long should it last? It should be how many moves it lasts. I bet he can't last ten moves!"
Gu Qingshi has always been a clique in the clan, so at this moment there are many young people who are encouraging him and laughing at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen knew very few people in the clan, so naturally no one thought highly of him, and no one encouraged him for fear of offending Gu Qingshi.
The shouts at the scene were almost one-sided, as if Gu Qingshi was the one who was about to fly to the nine heavens, and Gu Chen was just an inconspicuous stepping stone.
"Be quiet and give cousin Gu Chen some respect."
Gu Qingshi stood ten feet away from Gu Chen and said calmly.
After he finished speaking, the voices of his followers suddenly became weaker.
"Cousin?"
Gu Chen heard it funny. He and Gu Qingshi were of the same age. It was hard to say who was older, but he had a nice voice.
But his eyes betrayed him, there was clearly contempt in his eyes.
Gu Chen has dealt with too many people. He can even figure out the thoughts of an old monster like the Ghost Emperor who has lived for tens of thousands of years, let alone a young man like Gu Qingshi.
In his eyes, all Gu Qingshi's demeanor betrayed him, and there was no secret in his eyes.
"Cousin Gu Chen, what happened last time at Bawu Pavilion was my fault. I attacked you without asking what happened. I apologize to you for this."
In front of everyone, Gu Qingshi actually resorted to hypocrisy, and his words also attracted many elders to nod, thinking that he took the initiative to apologize very well.
However, as soon as he finished apologizing, the conversation changed.
"Although I did something wrong, I will never let you off the hook today!"
"As I said last time, there is no power in this world that can compare with the bloodline of our Gu clan. If you leave your own bloodline undeveloped and instead practice those useless spells, you are putting the cart before the horse!"
"You even broke your own domineering bones in order to practice those useless spells. You are not qualified to be a family caregiver like this!"
After Gu Qingshi finished speaking, the expressions of many elders changed.
It remains to be discussed whether Gu Chen's tyrannical bones were broken because he practiced other Taoist traditions. Gu Qingshi actually said this to him in front of so many people.
One moment I thought he had become sensible, but I didn't expect him to say such outrageous things the next moment!
