Fortune Teller

In the side room, Gu Xiuyun held his head with his left hand, frowning in deep thought.

This time he deliberately angered Gu Xiudan, hoping to draw out various branches and find out his predecessor's situation in the family at once.

Unexpectedly, he caught a big fish and provoked the big boss Gu Qingzheng.

"It seems that the maids in the courtyard are right. My predecessor is indeed full of misdeeds. If I were not my legitimate son, even ten deaths would not be enough." Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.

He heard all the discussions about the branches. After returning to the courtyard, he brought Xiao Cui and Xiao He to his side. After some insinuations, he finally figured out the context of the four rooms of the Gu family.

The entire fourth house of the Gu family is almost controlled by the eldest master, Gu Qingzheng. Although the second master and the third master are in charge of affairs in name, in fact they have been practicing in the main line and rarely return to the mansion.

The wives and children of the second and third masters were left in charge of the wives of the two families.

Gu Xiuyun's mother, Mrs. Yu, is said to be from the direct lineage of the Yu family. Her natal family has considerable authority in the Yu family. And Gu Xiuyun is Mrs. Yu's only son. It is conceivable that he has grown up with pampering since he was a child. No wonder he develops Domineering, dissolute and unscrupulous nature.

"My predecessor behaved inappropriately and ruined the family tradition. I'm afraid it has something to do with his mother, Mrs. Yu." Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.

As the saying goes, a loving mother often loses her son. Gu Xiuyun was born in the direct lineage of the Gu family. He was of noble birth and had great talent. If he could cultivate it properly, how could he not have his spiritual veins enlightened so far?

Moreover, there are many maids in the courtyard, there are about twenty or thirty of them, but few of them are actually working. It can be seen that they are all Gu Xiuyun's concubines. Madam Yu knows this but doesn't care about it. No wonder Master Yun He will become increasingly arrogant and eventually lose his life!

Gu Xiuyun was too lazy to pay attention to the cause of his predecessor's death. This man had bad moral character and deserved his death. What he is thinking about now is how to enlighten his spiritual veins and find the emerald golden sword.

Under the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, Gu Xiuyun only has two years left in his lifespan. In this time, he cannot break through to the pulse opening level. Only with the help of the life star chart can he extend his lifespan enough.

"It's a pity that now I have lost my destiny power, otherwise why would I be like a headless fly with no direction at all." Gu Xiuyun felt helpless.

Da da da!

A rush of footsteps came from the courtyard.

"Yun'er, Yun'er," Gu Xiuyun heard the woman's call before he saw the figure.

The next moment, a graceful middle-aged woman, surrounded by servants and maids, walked into the side room.

"Yun'er, let me see where you are injured." The woman looked anxious, "How dare that old guy Gu Qingzheng flog you, and he gave you a full two hundred lashes!"

"Mom, why are you here?" Gu Xiuyun looked helpless, "I'm very good, the servants in the house are just showing off, how dare they really whip me?"

As he said that, Gu Xiuyun exposed his arms and thighs. There were only faint red marks on them, which would disappear in a day or two at most. This kind of skin trauma was nothing to him.

"My poor Yun'er, when have you ever suffered such a crime?" The middle-aged woman had tears in her eyes, "Gu Qingzheng, this old ghost, actually wants to lock you in the Alchemy Tower and won't allow you to come out for half a year. Don't worry, I'll show you tomorrow Just go to the main channel to find your father and let him make the decision for you. He will never let you suffer in the Alchemy Pagoda."

"Don't," Gu Xiuyun waved his hand quickly, "Mom, this time I failed to enlighten my spiritual veins, I know that I have failed my family, and I feel guilty. Thinking about the reason, I was too arrogant in the past and neglected to study, which led to this Today’s situation.”

"If you can enter the Alchemy Pagoda and practice hard in seclusion for half a year, your chances of enlightening your spiritual veins next time will be much greater."

Gu Xiuyun explained bravely.

The Alchemy Pagoda contains countless secret scrolls of the Gu family's skills, which are extremely helpful to his practice. How could Madam Yu destroy it?

"Yun'er, you think so, it seems you have really grown up!"

Mrs. Yu showed a look of relief. She also understood that Gu Xiuyun had done many wrong things in the past, but how could any parent in the world not care about their children?

So no matter what ridiculous things Gu Xiuyun did, Mrs. Yu would do her best to deal with the aftermath.

Now that Gu Xiuyun has voluntarily gone to the Alchemy Pagoda to practice hard, Mrs. Yu is so happy that she no longer talks about asking his father to make the decision!

…

In the next few days, Gu Xiuyun kept wandering around the mansion, chatting with a few maids from time to time, trying to find out the traces of the emerald golden sword.

Poor those maids, they thought that the romantic young master with a good reputation in You Ning City had taken a liking to them, so they were so frightened that they didn't dare to sleep for several days.

In addition, he also dug out a large number of books and asked the maids in the courtyard to read them through. It was called a test of knowledge, but in fact it was to learn characters quietly.

The world where his predecessor lived was exactly the same as his original Chinese language, but the writing was very different. Of course, even if the writing was not different, he would have to learn it from scratch.

“Now I know how important reading and writing is!”

Gu Xiuyun looked up to the sky and sighed.

…

A few days later, a servant suddenly called Gu Xiuyun and asked him to go to the main hall of the front yard to meet the great master.

"The elder is calling me?" Gu Xiuyun rolled his eyes, "It seems that he is going to send me to the Alchemy Pagoda!"

Thinking of this, he felt excited.

It is rumored that the Alchemy Scripture Tower contains countless classics and secrets, as well as records of the world's immortal families. In Gu Xiuyun's heart, that place is as important as the horoscope.

Main front hall.

The elder had a sullen look on his face, and there were several white-haired old men sitting on both sides of him, looking at him rather unkindly.

There are faint spiritual fluctuations around these old men. They are obviously practitioners who have stepped into the immortal gate and enlightened their spiritual veins.

According to the rules of the Gu clan, anyone who ascends to immortality and seeks enlightenment can become the protector of the Gu clan. When the clan members see him, they must respectfully call him guru.

Seeing Gu Xiuyun walking into the hall, the elder immediately shouted angrily: "You bastard, why don't you kneel down!"

"Uncle, what mistake did I make?" Gu Xiuyun looked confused.

"What's wrong? Don't you know it?" The elder's eyes seemed to be on fire. "In the past few days, young ladies from all walks of life have come to me one after another, saying that you molested their maids and tried to rape them. You Can you know the crime?"

"It turns out that I was snitched on," Gu Xiuyun felt slightly relieved. Although he had never experienced this kind of drama of infighting among wealthy families, as a member of the Destiny clan, he had seen a lot of them. "Uncle, my nephew has been in the past few days. Although he often walks around the garden and chats with many maids, he does not do anything inappropriate when it comes to walking and sitting upright. "

"I can't see it, Suyan, please come out and talk about it!" the old man on the side said coldly.

The next moment, a maidservant walked out of the back hall, crying like pear blossoms with rain, "Reporting to the eldest master, masters, Master Yun forced me to a remote place the day before yesterday in an attempt to be frivolous. I didn't want to, but because of the noble status of the master, , dare not resist..."

Before she finished speaking, the maid Su Yan was already choking on tears, as if she had been greatly humiliated.

"Sir, you heard it too," the old man sitting on one side said coldly, "Suyan is not only a maid, but also my goddaughter. What qualifications does Gu Xiuyun have to go to the Alchemy Pagoda after he did such a beastly thing?" ?”

"Gu Xiuyun, what else do you have to say?" the elder said angrily.

"It turns out they want to prevent me from entering the Alchemy Sutra Tower." Gu Xiuyun was secretly suspicious.
