Gu Immortal: Start with a Thought Gu

Late at night, Li Chen's room was as bright as day.

Li Chen did not sit cross-legged on the bed and practice hard as usual.

He did not go to bed early to recuperate.

Instead, he lowered his eyes like a child who had done something wrong, listening to the scolding of the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Chen'er, you have always been a successful person. Your mother and I have always been proud of you."

"If it were something else, I wouldn't say a word to you."

"But tell me, what exactly is going on this time?"

"Didn't I tell you to keep a distance from that Lu Wang? You can be hypocritical, but don't forget how your father, I, became what I am now - in this generation, the one who has the best chance of competing with you for the position of patriarch is this Lu Wang!"

The middle-aged man spoke very impolitely, but Li Chen remained silent and did not refute.

Because Li Chen's reason told him that the middle-aged man, that is, his father, was right.

Because of the lack of resources and the extremely awkward location of the Li family, there is basically no room for development, so the situation in the family can only be said to be barely maintained.

In their generation, except for Lu Wang and Li Chen, there is no one decent.

Of course, Lu Wang's 99% talent can be said to be a top genius no matter which family he is in.

And Li Chen's 89% talent can also be said to be a young talent... But the excellence of an individual cannot cover up the overall decline.

Of course, since ancient times, fortune and disaster are interdependent. For Li Chen, this is both a disaster and an opportunity.

Because of the continuous weakening of the patriarch's line, at this time, the family's top leaders are no longer so restraining the development of young people.

They will not be like some unlucky people, who can be promoted to the third level at any time, but are always suppressed in the second level in the name of young people needing training.

For Li Chen, this is the best opportunity.

Because his father was once a genius. He was already a third-level elder at a young age.

However, he suffered an incurable serious injury in an ordinary mission, and his realm fell to the second level, and he has never recovered since then.

In the first few years, some people would give him some face and call him "Yin Family Elder". However, as time went by, the door became deserted.

The people who were chasing for flattery had long gone.

From that time on, Li Chen's father had been admonishing Li Chen to rely on himself in everything.

Whoever blocked his way must be eradicated, and there must be no sympathy.

Li Chen agreed with this and had been acting according to his father's instructions.

But... not long ago, Li Chen gave the injured Lu Wang a large amount of Yuanshi, more than 100 pieces.

And these Yuanshi were all borrowed by Li Chen, and even the IOU was written in Li Chen's name.

If Lu Wang shamelessly insisted on not paying it back, then Li Chen would have to bear the debt himself.

For Li Chen's father, isn't this aiding the enemy?

The enemy is already difficult enough, why do you still help him?

Li Chen's father couldn't figure out the reason, so he wanted to hear his son's explanation.

But to be honest, even Li Chen himself was confused as to why he was so generous to Lu Wang.

Perhaps... it was because of his selfless rescue.

The friendship between men is so strange.

Li Chen was looking for excuses for himself.

"I'm sorry, father, I was so excited at the time."

"When the other party talked about his difficulties, I got excited and just wanted to help him solve the difficulties."

Li Chen's father stared at his son for a long time, and finally sighed.

"No matter what method you use, you must get those Yuanshi back as soon as possible."

"The gap between you and him is already big. Now he has entered the initial stage of the second turn, and you are still in the high stage of the first turn. If there is no accident, the gap between you will only get bigger and bigger in the future."

"These Yuanshi... you can put the responsibility on me."

Li Chen did not answer directly, because at this time his heart was full of rebellious psychology.

He knew that his father was right, but it was precisely because of this that he didn't want his father to intervene in this matter, and he would even feel offended.

——For a child, compared to letting their parents clean up the mess, what they don’t want to see more is to let their parents know that they have made a mistake.

Especially the kind of very low-level mistakes.

The more his father is, the more brilliant Lu Wang’s reaction of saving him without hesitation will appear.

He also felt more guilty because of this - people really treat you as a brother, but you want him to die, are you still a person?

Reason and emotion are intertwined in his heart, constantly colliding, making him unwilling to answer.

"You..."

Li Chen's father obviously also noticed his son's abnormality.

"Hey, young people's spirit... You will understand in the future that this kind of emotion is meaningless. In the face of real interests, even if they are brothers, what does it matter?"

"The plan now is to curb Lu Wang's development first, and don't let him completely get rid of you..."

Li Chen's father said his philosophy of survival earnestly. Li Chen wanted to say something, but at this moment, a Gu Master ran in and conveyed the order of the clan leader.

"What? The chief summoned us at this time?"

"Let's put this aside for now and go see what happened!"

...

Following the chief's order, the entire Green Grass Oasis became noisy.

Most of the Gu Masters had fallen asleep, but now they had to get up again and rush to the clan council hall.

During this period, not many people complained.

Because after years of fighting, the families around them have each marked out their own territory, and they will try their best to avoid disputes. This is also the ethos of the Western Desert... However, once something happens, it will definitely be earth-shattering!

The Li family, which is in the buffer zone, will never survive.

Everyone hurriedly formed a stream of people and came to the council hall.

During this period, Li Chen also saw Lu Wang.

He wanted to say hello, but Lu Wang frowned and looked at the sky from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Chen had to look at the clan leader first.

The clan leader of the Li family is only at the peak of the third turn, and he doesn't even have the strength of the fourth turn.

In recent years, he has been good at dancing with his sleeves and barely maneuvering between major forces, so his hair has turned white early, and even his body is not very strong.

Seeing that everyone has come together, he didn't keep it a secret.

"You know the Huang family, right? Yes, the Huang family in the Wind Oasis."

"For some reason, the great-granddaughter of the fourth elder of the Huang family was playing nearby these two days, but lost contact."

"The Huang family has sent capable personnel to investigate, and they also hope to get our help."

"If the matter can be resolved smoothly, the Huang family will reward you handsomely."

At this point, the clan leader paused deliberately, waiting for everyone to understand the meaning of his words, and then continued.

"And if something happens to the great-granddaughter... he wants us all to be buried with her!"

When the clan leader finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Lu Wang stood in the middle, frowning even more deeply.
