In the year 399 of the Bahuang Calendar, it is January 1st.
Today is the day when Gu Xiaotian Qichen returns to Kyoto.
He had been practicing in Taibai for almost a year. Gu Xiaotian, who was carrying a backpack, walked to the gate of Taibai Mountain, pulled out the edgeless sword, and walked with the sword.
Once upon a time, he was a child who was afraid of flying with a sword, but now he is the one who flies with a sword.
High in the sky, Gu Xiaotian moved forward quickly, admiring the beautiful scenery below, which made him feel comfortable.
It's been a long time since I felt so relaxed.
Gu Xiaotian couldn’t tell it himself.
Although Gu Xiaotian didn't have to worry too much about danger when he was at Wuhen Cliff, his nerves were still tense every day, and he never slacked off in his cultivation.
Now, he is going back to Kyoto to celebrate the Spring Festival. The time in heaven is just a rare moment for his tense nerves to relax.
After all, with his current level of cultivation, he would definitely not die if he fell.
...
In Kyoto, every house is decorated with lanterns and colors.
Pedestrians come and go on the street, saying "Happy New Year" to each other when meeting each other. The flavor of the New Year fills every corner of Kyoto.
The ancient master Gu Le was pacing back and forth anxiously in his room, going out from time to time to see if anyone was coming.
The maid Xiaoyi was also very anxious at the side. She has been taking care of the young master's food, clothing, housing and transportation since he was sensible. At first, she had been worried that the young master would not be able to adapt to life if he did not have enough to eat and sleep outside. It took a long time for her to settle down. Heart comes.
Gu Le was frowning at this time. Although he was happy that Gu Xiaotian was willing to go up the mountain to learn martial arts, he was also worried that if Gu Xiaotian embarked on this path, he might die if he was not careful.
What's more, Gu Xiaotian has never replied to a letter to his family since he was born in Taibai for a year, so there must be some trouble.
Xiaoyi comforted the old master at the side, "Old master, please sit down for a while. The young master may be on his way back to Beijing, so there is no need to rush."
Gu Le couldn't sit still, sighed, picked up a coat from the seat, and walked out of the door quickly.
Outside the door, all the personal servants of the ancient master were waiting anxiously at the door with the ancient master. .br>
Although this year's Spring Festival is not too cold, everyone is blushing from the cold but dare not speak.
Of course, there was awe of the ancient master, but more importantly, he wanted to see how Gu Xiaotian, the young master who had been beaten before, would grow up now.
Time passed by minute by minute, until candles were lit in every house and courtyard, and Gu Xiaotian was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Le lamented, got up and walked back, "Just come and wait tomorrow."
Just as Gu Le turned around and walked in, an excited voice suddenly came from behind, "Grandpa!!!"
Xiaoyi also enjoyed watching it and quickly shouted: "Old Master, the young master is back!"
Gu Le quickly walked down the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time. Not to mention that although the old man was old, his skills were indeed strong enough.
Without saying anything, Gu Le gave Gu Xiaotian a bear hug.
Afterwards, Gu Le also pinched Gu Xiaotian's various parts carefully, as if checking for wounds.
But how could Gu Xiaotian have wounds on his body? They were all automatically healed by his powerful natural body.
Gu Le pinched it for a long time, and finally felt relieved. He turned back to Xiaoyi and said, "Notify the kitchen to make something that my grandson likes to eat immediately."
Xiaoyi got the order and ran towards the kitchen quickly.
Gu Xiaotian helped Gu Le up the steps and said with a smile: "Grandpa, do you know what state I am in now?"
Gu Le chuckled and replied: "I have always been worried about whether you are suitable for this path. Now that you are in your current state, I am afraid that even the leaders of my Gu Family Guards Academy cannot defeat you."
Gu Xiaotian knew that Gu Le had been in the martial arts world before. How could a person who could survive in the martial arts world be so poor in cultivation?
However, Gu Xiaotian still said mischievously: "Grandpa, tell me, can I beat you now?"
Gu Le stroked his beard and patted Gu Xiaotian on the shoulder, "If you want to beat grandpa, you're still early!"
At the dinner table, Gu Xiaotian was happily eating the food on the table.
After all, we are in the Gu family. Gu Xiaotian is also the young master after all, so there is no need to be in the Gu family.
As before, there were some scruples at the dinner table.
What's more, the food of the Gu family is not simple. Just this table full of delicacies, how can Taibai compare?
Gu Le was holding dishes for Gu Xiaotian. When he saw Gu Xiaotian vomiting and swallowing, he asked in confusion: "Taibai's food is not good?"
Gu Xiaotian stuffed two mouthfuls of meat and said slurredly: "I can't say it's not good. It's not a problem if I'm full."
Gu Le naturally felt a little sorry for Gu Xiaotian. After Gu Xiaotian came back, he was obviously not as mellow as before.
But this is also a hardship that must be endured in the martial arts. Gu Le knows this truth very well.
After lamenting for a few times, Gu Le turned his head to look at Xiaoyi who was laying out dishes on the table and said: "Notify the kitchen to cook more delicious food for the young master in the next few days."
Gu Xiaotian was very full after eating and rubbed his bulging belly happily.
Gu Le was on the sidelines asking questions, mostly just about what happened in Taibai.
Gu Xiaotian answered patiently and complained to Gu Le about some unspeakable things. When talking about Bai Jing, Gu Le wished he could order someone to slap Bai Jing's skin and pull out Bai Jing's tendons right now. Regarding Guo Yi, the head of the house whom Gu Xiaotian first recognized, Gu Le also ordered people to find Guo Yi tomorrow and bring him to the Gu family with all specifications and treat him as a guest of the Gu family.
This little grandson is actually reporting good things but not bad things. Bai Jing’s affairs were briefly mentioned in one brush stroke, without going into detail about the “ten sins” Bai Jing committed. While talking, Gu Xiaotian mentioned Song Bufan again. On the body.
Gu Xiaotian asked with some provocation: "Grandpa, what happened thirteen years ago, and do you know this Song Bufan?"
Hearing Song Bufan's name, Gu Le's eyebrows twitched visibly, his face became extremely dark, and he just answered vaguely: "Thirteen years ago, it was nothing more than the Tiandi Alliance and the major Bahuang sects forming an alliance to attack the Quanwuhui. , I naturally know Song Bufan, he is indeed a very talented person."
Gu Le took another two sips of the tea in the cup and said cryptically: "What did Song Bufan promise you?"
Gu Xiaotian answered truthfully: "Brother Song just asked me if I wanted to become stronger."
But the old man was not at ease. After repeated questioning, Gu Xiaotian really couldn't tell the specific reason, and Gu Le felt a little better.
At night, Gu Le sent Gu Xiaotian back to his bedroom.
On the way, Gu Xiaotian straightened his figure and asked seriously: "Grandpa, if Peng Wen wants to make things difficult for me, I have to fight back, but behind this is to make the Peng family completely disappear in Kyoto, and it will be harmful to our Gu family and Brother Yang. Does it have an impact on my family?”
Gu Le was also surprised. Gu Xiaotian had just told him a lot about Ou Ju Haishan, but he didn't take it too seriously.
After all, in Oju Haishan, everyone wants opportunities, and a little friction is inevitable.
We are all elite disciples from various sects in Bahuang. During the fight, we will naturally offend many people if they have no eyes for fists and kicks.
But after the fight, everyone didn't take it seriously, and they could still drink together at the table in the future.
But what Gu Taiye never expected was that Gu Xiaotian would actually ask such a tricky topic.
If he just said that he wanted to destroy Peng Wen, it would be easier to deal with the things behind it.
But now the difficulty lies here. The current head of the Peng family only has one son, Peng Wen, and Peng Li is just an ordinary illegitimate son.
What's more, with Peng Li's character, if the identity of the head of the Peng family is really passed on to Peng Li, then the Peng family will not need to pay attention to it at all, and he will slowly disappear in the torrent of history.
Gu Le scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gu Xiaotian also sighed. Although he hated Peng Wen, he was more aware of the interests behind it. The three families in Kyoto had nearly thirty families standing side by side. If one family were to be separated, those slightly smaller families in Kyoto would There will definitely be chaos.
By then Kyoto will be a different story.
The word "right" is harmful to people.
Xiaoyi, as a maid, was on the sidelines to come to the rescue and said: "Master, although our Gu family's personal relationship with the Peng family is not as good as that with the Yang family, if the Peng family really dies, then other families won't take advantage of the opportunity to gain the power of the fishermen?"
No one expected that Gu Le actually waved his hand at this moment, "If you want to do it, just do it. If you encounter any difficulties, grandpa will guide you. One of the three great families in Kyoto should indeed give way."
Set up! "
Gu Xiaotian received Gu Le's affirmative answer and entered the bedroom with satisfaction to rest.
In Gu Le's bedroom, many high-status people from the Gu family gathered here.
The information about these people was quite good, and they must have arranged a lot of spies around Gu Le. However, they still respect Gu Le very much. After all, without Gu Le, they would not be where they are today.
One of the elders said: "Old Master, are you doting on the young master a little too much?"
Gu Le raised his eyebrows and said: "I only have this grandson. My granddaughter follows his father and wanders around the border all day long. Naturally, she can't come to the forefront. If I don't pass this position to Xiaotian, who else will I pass it to?"
The elder said with some embarrassment: "The future head of the Gu family must be Xiaotian. We all see Xiaotian's current qualifications, but after all, he is young and full of passion. It is easy for him to get hot-headed for a while, and he will damage us when the time comes. The foundation in Kyoto.”
Gu Le angrily slapped the wooden table next to him, and the wooden table broke apart.
Everyone understood that the ancient master was angry.
The elders did not dare to say anything more and stared at Gu Le quietly.
Gu Le said angrily: "The Peng family is stepping on the head of my Gu family and shitting and pissing. Do we, the Gu family, have to continue to endure it just because of their relatives in the palace?"
"Even if these relatives really want to make things difficult for my Gu family, I will kill one of them, and I will kill two of them if they come!"
The elders understood that Gu Le was determined to stand by his grandson, and in the end he just reminded: "Old Master, of course we can't refute your decision, but this news is really too big. If it reaches Peng Yihua In his ears, Peng Yihua will definitely feel compassion."
He saw that Gu Le had already stood up and started to undress and take off his belt. The servants waiting next to him also started to help.
He lay on the bed, and a voice came from behind the curtains, "If Peng Yihua dares to come, let him come. I think he has a few lives that I can kill!"
