After seven days of running around outside, Gu Yuan still had no time to rest, so he followed his second uncle and second aunt to take care of Little Fatty Ball's funeral.
Sitting on a Zen mountain. Little Fatty Ball was buried next to Qin Xiao's tomb. Thinking of the last words Xiao Pangqiu said, Gu Yuan suddenly felt that he was so stupid that he was deceived by a child.
Regarding Qin Xiao's death, they had always chosen to conceal it because they were worried that this incident would bring too big a blow to Xiao Pang Qiu. But only after knowing the last moment of Xiao Pang Qiu's life, Gu Yuan knew that Xiao Pang Qiu had already Noticed.
Just to prevent them from worrying, the little fat ball who knew everything clearly pretended not to know.
I was obviously sad in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it. I smiled every day as if nothing had happened. It's hard to imagine how the little fat ball did it, and what kind of pain he suffered in his heart. And his purpose of doing this is still to prevent others from worrying about him.
It seems that this child is always thinking about others from the moment he is born to the time he leaves this world. This is indeed very sensible, but it is also so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Maybe even for God, it has to be
"Crying children get candy", too
"Sensible" children often have a miserable life. On the way down the mountain, Gu Yuan saw Lu Yan halfway up the mountain, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Gu Yuan's current state, Lu Yan coughed lightly and looked a little unnatural.
"How about you go back and have a good sleep first? We'll talk after you're well rested." Gu Yuan chuckled softly: "No, I'm fine." Lu Yan stared at Gu Yuan, looking up and down and to the left. Looking to the right, I can't tell what's better.
Gu Yuan continued: "Master Lu, if there is anything you can tell me directly, I can handle it. I will not evade responsibility for the gathering of sword cultivators in Star City before." He had indeed been prepared for this idea for a long time. When he was there, he had already thought about everything that might happen, just like when he went to Qingyun Temple, to Sword Sect, to Star Reaching Sect... he would tell the other party
"I bear all responsibilities alone." Especially at the last moment, with the light in Little Fat Ball's eyes, he felt that everything was worth it.
The past two days have been calm, but Gu Yuan knew in his heart that this was definitely not because Guanlongshan could keep his composure, but because all the pressure fell on Lu Yan.
After all, Lu Yan is the sword holder of Star City. If something goes wrong with Gu Yuan, he will be the first to be held accountable.
After hearing Gu Yuan's words, Lu Yan laughed and said: "Actually, it's not as serious as you think. I have made it very clear to Guanlongshan about what is going on. Besides, this matter did not cause any problems." No matter how bad the influence is, it will pass if you turn a blind eye." Gu Yuan nodded lightly, but he knew in his heart that the matter would not be that simple.
Lu Yan and Gu Yuan walked side by side and said with some melancholy: "Actually, if this matter had been put in the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Just explain it clearly. Besides, Captain Li has always taken care of Little Fatty Ball. Over at Guanlong Mountain It will definitely give you some face. Besides, although those sword cultivators broke the rules, they still helped others... What's more, you have made a lot of contributions before." When Lu Yan said this, Gu Yuan probably understood. .
This kind of thing would have been nothing in the past. But now, in Guanlongshan's eyes, Gu Yuan is simply a
"Problem boy". The matter between the Holy Bishop's Court and the Ling family has just ended, and now it is a wave of unrest.
Maybe what Gu Yuan did had become a provocation in Guanlongshan's eyes. Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and asked, "Master Lu, do they mean to let me go to the capital?"
"That's not true." Lu Yan quickly shook his head. Maybe Guanlongshan had this intention before, but due to various considerations, they gave up the idea.
At least it's definitely not possible at this stage. Zhong Wuchen had only come forward before and paid such a high price to keep Gu Yuan and others. Although it was not the same thing now, the interval was too short.
It is impossible for Guanlong Mountain to ignore this.
"In the past two days, there will be a big shot coming over at Guanlong Mountain. On the one hand, he is inspecting, and on the other hand, he also wants to see you." Lu Yan said.
"Big shot?" Gu Yuan asked,
"How big is it?"
"One of the five elders on Guanlong Mountain." Lu Yan said seriously. ...After Lu Yan left, Gu Yuan told Kong Baihe what he had said before.
But Kong Baihe's reaction surprised Gu Yuan.
"What? One of the five elders?!" Kong Baihe exclaimed in surprise. Gu Yuan asked in confusion: "What do these five elders mean?"
"You don't even know this?" Kong Baihe said in shock,
"The five elders on Guanlong Mountain are the ones who decide everything. All major decisions are made through consultation between the five of them, and they are each responsible for different areas."
"Is there no one who can make the final decision?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Don't be ridiculous." Kong Baihe whispered,
"Guanlong Mountain is not one of those sects and families. It doesn't need any patriarch or sect leader. If someone really has all the say, there will be trouble." Gu Yuan understood somewhat.
This is probably due to a different nature.
"In other words, these five elders have the final say on the entire Guanlong Mountain, right?"
"Well, under the five elders, there are thirteen 'Star Lords'. As far as I know, Senior Mingzhu, Ling Guiyu from the Ling family, and Mr. Xin and Wang Zhixuan who came to Star City before are all here. Among them." Kong Baihe explained.
Gu Yuan finally had a general understanding of Guanlong Mountain. However, this seemed to be useless trivia to him.
Seeing the expression on Gu Yuan's face, Kong Baihe shook his head and said, "I really admire you. As a member of the Demon Suppression Department, you don't know anything about Guanlong Mountain..." Gu Yuan smiled and said, He said casually: "What do you do if you know this? I have no intention of going to Guanlong Mountain to work as an official." Kong Baihe looked at Gu Yuan's current appearance and nodded.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Go back first and have a good sleep. We can wait until you wake up to talk about anything else."
"Yeah." Back home. Gu Yuan walked into his bedroom and lay on the bed, but he always felt that in the next second, a little head would poke out from the upper bunk and look at him with blinking eyes.
Although his body was extremely exhausted, he still could not fall into sleep. This state lasted for a long time.
He could hear the conversation between his second uncle and his second aunt in the living room, and he could also hear the noise of the children downstairs. In this half-dream and half-awake state, Gu Yuan seemed to hear a waxy voice, shouting furiously.
"Guo Guo! It's time to eat!" Gu Yuan closed his eyes, moved his lips, and murmured softly: "Well...here he comes."
