Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Gu's first door, main hall.

The head of the family, Gu Zhuang, sat at the head of the table, and the elders of the Gu family sat on both sides. There was silence, and no one spoke.

After a long time, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Gu Zhuang and was dressed in brocade clothes frowned and said, "Master, the news has been out for so long, why is there no reply? I haven't even seen a single person. You Ask Xichao if she will..."

At this point, he paused and did not continue.

The person who spoke was named Gu Kan, who was Gu Zhuang's half-brother. He was the only one present who dared to speak like this, and the others all chose to watch indifferently.

Although they didn't express an opinion, their eyes were all focused on the gray-haired man in the first place, and they were obviously equally eager to know the answer.

Gu Zhuang glanced at Gu Kan, who had risen to the top in recent years, frowned and said displeasedly: "Second brother, what do you mean? People who are wise don't speak secretly. I hate it when people talk to me in a roundabout way."

The deep voice spread throughout the main hall, and the power of the head of the family made all the clan elders restrain their doubts on their faces and did not dare to contradict him at this time.

In fact, meetings like today have been held many times. Gu Zhuang felt that it was meaningless. However, all the clans came together and strongly demanded that the meeting be held. As the head of the family, Gu Zhuang was helpless.

The topic of the meeting was, when did Gu Xichao receive the summons?

Gu Zhuang has been tireless of this for a long time. Although these guys were considered high and powerful in the past, due to the Gu family's shallow background, they have always been submissive to the outside world.

Ever since Young Master Yunweisi came in person and officially announced his relationship with Gu Xichao, these guys instantly swelled up, and although they weren't a big punch to the outside world, they were still very arrogant.

Now when something goes wrong, I turn around and put all the burden on myself, the head of the family, and my daughter.

No news came back for a long time, and these guys became increasingly anxious and began to complain, but they did not dare to say it in person, and they only dared to curse a few words in private.

Some people with dark thoughts even spread rumors, saying that Gu Xichao had actually received the summons a long time ago, but because he went to the upper world, flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix, and had a higher vision, he was unwilling to talk to the people of the Tianshui Ancient Territory.

Some people dared to spread rumors, while others dared to believe them, and there were quite a few people who believed them. They all nodded, thinking that this was a very possible possibility.

As a result, many of the Gu family's children more or less branded Gu Xichao, who flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, as heartless, and felt aggrieved about it.

As the head of the family, Gu Zhuang still has a lot of power, and a word of hidden anger can silence all the clan members.

But this did not include Gu Kan. He did not argue fiercely with his elder brother, because that would be meaningless and would only appear to be messy.

He has been able to reach this position in just a few years. He must have the ability, and the scenes are even more beautiful.

I saw him sighing, with a worried look on his face for the sake of the family: "Hey, eldest brother, don't think too much as a younger brother. Look, our summons has been sent out for so long. Logically speaking, Xichao should have received it long ago. Yes, even if something delays her, she should just send a message back to make us feel at ease. "

"But what now? The summons has fallen into disarray, and we are not sure whether it has been received or not. If we have received it, then everything will be fine. But if we have not received it, we are still waiting here stupidly. What's the point?"

Gu Zhuang looked at him: "What do you want?"

Gu Kan immediately said: "One more summons."

He stared at his elder brother sitting in the front seat with burning eyes: "Xi Chao and his eldest brother have a deep love for each other as father and daughter. Will they only leave behind a communication magic weapon?"

Gu Zhuang said with a cold face: "Although the communication magic weapon is rare, with my Gu family's family background, it is not a big deal to keep a few of them, but do you know how precious the magic weapon that can send messages across a world is?"

Gu Kan said: "I heard that more than ten years ago, when Young Master Guanhai left, he gave many magical weapons to Xi Chao. After Xi Chao left, he left most of the magical weapons to his eldest brother. Is there only one among them? A communication weapon?"

When he said this, his eyes were intense and he was a little excited.

Not only him, but also the elders below.

Those are magical weapons given by the young master of the Upper Realm Yunwei Si. Each one is extraordinary and extremely valuable.

In the end, the father and daughter got everything at a bargain, and they didn't get anything out of it.

Gu Zhuang snorted coldly and was about to speak when a servant ran in and cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu Yongning of the Danxia Sect is here to visit."

The clan elders all looked at the servant who reported the news. One of them, a fat man, had a slightly changed expression and suddenly became nervous.

Gu Zhuang's face suddenly darkened. Two days ago, the Gu family's children went to the Danxia Sect's sales point to sell spiritual grass and caused trouble. As a result, they aroused public anger and were driven away. He knew this.

After learning about this, Gu Zhuang was furious and wanted to severely punish the Gu family's children who made trouble.

However, Gu Kan persuaded him, and the elders of the clans supported him, so he gave up and only deducted three months' salary and resources as punishment.

The Danxia Sect, perhaps because the Gu family was related to the Yunwei Si of the Upper Realm by marriage, did not come to hold him accountable, which was considered as giving the Gu family some face.

As a result, today, Xu Yongning, a young and talented person with a high status in Danxia Sect, came to the door in person, and he knew with his toes that nothing good would happen.

Although Xu Yongning is of the younger generation, he is extremely talented in alchemy. He has already accepted disciples as a master at a young age. He has many disciples under his command. It is already certain that he will become an elder in the future.

At the same time, he is also one of the most powerful contenders for the position of sect leader.

Gu Zhuang glanced coldly at the fat man with a guilty look, and said in a deep voice: "Please let him in."

The servant left the main hall, and not long after, a shadow was projected on the ground of the main hall, and a man in white walked in.

He was not tall, but well-proportioned, and his appearance was not outstanding, but ordinary. He did not have any special temperament that attracted people, and the whole person looked very ordinary.

But the white robe he wore was very eye-catching. The style was very simple. He wore a neat short shirt inside and a half-sleeved long robe outside. There were cloud patterns on both sides of the sleeves, and a light-colored Tai Chi diagram on the chest.

He was an ordinary person, but he seemed to have changed into a different person after wearing this white robe, and his temperament and charm came out at once.

The fragrance floated while walking, which was not perfume, but the fragrance of elixir and medicine.

He bowed and bowed, and was meticulous in etiquette.

Gu Zhuang nodded in response, without putting on airs, and asked: "Mr. Xu, why did you come to my Gu family?"

Xu Yongning smiled and said: "Two days ago, several Gu family members who were ignorant of worldly affairs came to my Danxia Sect store to cause trouble. We didn't want to make things too ugly, so we didn't pursue it. We just wanted to make a good relationship with the head of the Gu family. At the same time, we also hope that the head of the Gu family can control his people and don't ruin his reputation."

"But just now, those Gu family members came again, and used words to incite the masses, trying to use this method to force my Danxia Sect to compromise. Gu family leader, it's not that my Danxia Sect is aggressive and makes a big fuss for a little thing, it's really that your Gu family members are a little too arrogant."
