Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 75: Let’s talk about it later
"This is simply ridiculous! This girl Gu Nian is so outrageous this time!"
"A transcendent person who doesn't know his origins just calls him one of our own. When did the blood of our Gu family become so cheap?"
"That's right! If we only need extraordinary people, we can recruit a lot of them outside in a blink of an eye, not to mention us old guys are not dead yet!"
In the inner hall of the Gu family, a group of old people were sitting in a circle, expressing their dissatisfaction with Gu Nian's actions this time.
Gu Nian herself was not here, so the person who became the target of the "siege" instead of her was a middle-aged man sitting at the end - this was Gu Nian's father, Gu Mingyuan.
Gu Mingyuan is the contemporary head of the Gu family. Since Gu Nian was promoted, he has been gradually delegating power, handing over the important responsibilities of the family to Gu Nian, while he concentrates on his cultivation.
Strength is the foundation of everything. The Gu family knows this very well, so they have developed this inheritance model.
Like him, there are still seven or eight old guys hiding in the Gu family, all of whom are of extraordinary strength. They are the real heritage of the Gu family.
Except for those who were traveling, these people were all practicing in seclusion, but when the news came, none of them could sit still.
Gu Mingyuan was being grabbed by the collar and sprayed wildly by an old man, but he could only smile in apology: "Second uncle, please calm down..."
"Calm down? How can I calm down!" The second uncle slapped the table angrily, leaving fingerprints on the pure sandstone tabletop. "If I calm down again, the Gu family will fall into the hands of that precious daughter of yours!"
"It's not such an exaggeration. He's just a boy who has just entered the extraordinary world..." This was a bit too much, so Gu Mingyuan quickly downplayed it.
Second uncle's anger did not diminish: "The Gu family has been in existence for hundreds of years, and no one with a foreign surname has come into the family! If they are not from my clan, their hearts must be different. Don't you understand this? Have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors? ”
Gu Mingyuan was trained so much that he did not dare to refute, so he could only continue to laugh. He knew in his heart that the bosses were angry this time, and it was not without reason.
The Gu family is a family that has emerged from the war years and has been standing to this day. It has seen too many tragedies caused by family disharmony.
That’s why the ancestors left their ancestral precepts, strictly prohibiting killing each other within the clan, and not allowing the recruitment of extraordinary and powerful people with other surnames.
At the extraordinary level, one can already overturn the situation of the battle. If there is a traitor of this level within, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be of no use.
Seeing that Gu Mingyuan stopped talking, the elders around him began to make noise again.
"Everyone, everyone." Gu Mingyuan had to stand up and clapped his hands and said, "As for Gu Nan's situation, Gu Nian told me that there is really no need to worry about his origin."
"Why? Could there be extraordinary beings popping up out of thin air?"
"...It's pretty much the same." Gu Mingyuan looked a little weird, took out a few documents from his arms and distributed them to the elders, "Everyone can take a look."
The second uncle snatched the information from his hand and scanned it at a glance. The angry look on his face finally softened.
"So it's the Ascended One? Or was it brought up by Gu Nian? That would make people feel more at ease." The second uncle stroked his beard and said, "Wait a minute, has he been to Minglou?"
"That's right." Gu Mingyuan nodded lightly, "Something happened when he ascended. He was robbed to the bright building. It should be the cause and effect of someone targeting Gu Nian."
A person next to him frowned and asked: "Minglou...will there be any problems?"
Before Gu Mingyuan could speak, his second uncle had already waved his hand: "Minglou never takes the initiative to interfere in the big world. What's more, the Star Master is standing behind him. To deal with our family, do you still need to use this method?"
"That's true..."
Gu Mingyuan's expression finally relaxed. When Gu Nian first mentioned this plan, he had the same reaction as his second uncle, until he learned about Gu Nan's origins.
Ascended people are indeed more reassuring.
These people from smaller planes are coming to the Star Realm for the first time, so they cannot be spies. Apart from his uncontrollable personality, he is not much different from an adopted son in other aspects.
But the second uncle was obviously more stubborn than he thought: "That won't work either. You are not allowed to recruit Chaofan with a foreign surname. This is the ancestral precept!"
"Gu Nan's surname is also Gu..." Gu Mingyuan said weakly.
"Bullshit! Are these two Gus the same?" The second uncle immediately spat Gu Mingyuan's face.
But his words reminded an old lady next to him, who suddenly interrupted: "Since our origins are clear, wouldn't it be enough to recruit that Gu Nan as our son-in-law?"
The entire inner hall suddenly became quiet, and after a while, the faces of all the old people showed happy smiles.
Once people get older, they always like to pair up their younger generations, and this will never change.
As for a wealthy family like the Gu family, there is no such thing as free love. Marriage is common and this is not the first time.
"How about that girl Xingzhu? I think she is quite close to that person."
"My temper is a little fierce, I'm afraid there will be trouble at home in the future... It's Gu Ying, yes, the one from Lao Liu's family..."
"That's right... the granddaughter of the third family is fine too! She will be fourteen this year, so it would be better to decide on the marriage as soon as possible."
Gu Mingyuan's face twitched when he heard this discussion. He was about to speak when his second uncle next to him slammed the table: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The critical moment was still his second uncle...
"Then Gu Nan is also a transcendent after all, and he is the one brought here by Gu Nian. If you want to get married, you should consider Gu Nian first!" The second uncle knocked on the table and said with a twitching beard.
Gu Mingyuan almost stumbled and fell on the table.
The words of the second uncle were unanimously approved by all the elders.
"Second brother is right. Little Gu Nian's marriage is also a difficult problem! If we miss this time, we don't know when we will find a suitable candidate again."
"It's true. Once you have a family, you can feel more at ease..."
At this moment, a cough suddenly came from the door: "Ahem!"
Everyone was silent again, and turned around to see that Gu Nian was already standing over there, and there was a young man in white next to her.
The elders who had just read the information recognized at a glance that this person was Gu Nan, who was currently in the limelight.
The old people who had been having a heated discussion just now suddenly became reserved. The second uncle even had a solemn expression on his face. He gently stroked his long beard and looked like a fairy.
"It's Gu Nian...when did you come?" the second uncle said with a smile.
Gu Nian glanced at him helplessly: "Second uncle...we all heard it just now."
"..."
……
No matter in any society, it is a very common phenomenon that it is difficult for women who are too outstanding to marry.
Gu Nian now and Xu Feiyan in the future are facing similar problems.
With their status, it is almost impossible to find a suitable marriage partner because they are not of sufficient weight. But it would be too much of a loss to find someone to marry, so I just put it off like this.
As written in the novel, such a large family spent decades trying to cultivate an elite son, but in the end they used it to catch a rich son-in-law... This is complete nonsense.
No sensible family would do this. What belongs to others belongs to others after all. Relying on the support of other forces for development is tantamount to handing your lifeline into the hands of others.
People like Gu Nian, regardless of gender, will be the next generation of family leaders and contribute their abilities to the family.
So she either recruits a husband-in-law or has a political marriage with someone, in name only until the next generation grows up.
Regarding these, Gu Nan also heard the conversations among the elders and finally figured out the twists and turns.
So he patted Gu Nian on the shoulder: "You discuss it first, and come to me when you have a result."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Mingyuan next to him suddenly said: "Mr. Gu, wait a moment."
Gu Nan turned his head and said nothing, but gave him a weird smile without stopping. Gu Mingyuan frowned and simply reached out to stop him.
But when his hand was about to fall on Gu Nan, Gu Nan suddenly disappeared without making a sound.
Gu Mingyuan was startled, and was about to step out to check, when his second uncle held his shoulder with one hand.
"You can't catch up." The second uncle shook his head slightly and said, "That is the power of shadow...the fastest among the three thousand laws."
Gu Nanlu's move made many of the elders look solemn, and one of them asked: "Isn't the fastest one the Law of the Wind?"
"Of course not. The fastest thing in the world is light, and where there is light there is shadow."
……
"That's pretty much it." Gu Nian said slowly, "We provide him with all the conveniences for reincarnation, and he stands up for our Gu family."
Everyone can think of winning over Gu Nan, and so can Gu Nian. In fact, she had already planned to do this.
Let Gu Nan appear as a branch of the Gu family, and then recognize him as his younger brother, which is equivalent to placing his identity in the master's family.
The elders also learned about Gu Nan's true value from Gu Nian's mouth - there were many details that were impossible to describe in detail and only Gu Nian himself knew.
"Is it possible to advance to extraordinary level in just a few months? Even for a reincarnated person, this is an exaggeration..." The old lady sighed softly.
She was a reincarnated person when she was young. She fought life and death between different planes before she successfully entered the transcendent world.
So she is very aware of the risks and benefits of reincarnation. Reincarnation is not a shortcut, but a dangerous road.
The elders were not dissatisfied with Gu Nan's conditions. In their view, if they want to recruit an extraordinary and powerful man who knows everything, this resource is nothing. ~IndoMTL.com~ After all, no matter how reincarnated a person is, he still has to take care of his own soul. In fact, the resources that can be consumed are very limited.
"If he is just keen on reincarnation, it is not a big deal." The second uncle said, "But he must be properly involved in family affairs and not isolated from the family."
For outsiders, the easiest way to integrate into a group is to let them take over certain affairs.
If he wants to complete it, he must get in touch with the people at the top and bottom, and he will naturally become familiar with it after going back and forth.
"The martial arts competition is about to start, and I plan to let him take the position of one of the judges." Gu Nian was already prepared and told all his previous thoughts.
"It works!" The elders looked at each other and nodded immediately.
The old lady thought for a while and then said tentatively: "Xiao Nian, don't you really think about kissing me?"
Gu Nian's face turned dark: "Grandma, I already recognize him as my younger brother..."
"What's the matter!" The old lady waved her hand domineeringly, "Who dares to gossip about you two extraordinary beings?"
Gu Nainao rubbed his brows in pain, quickly dropped the shabby excuse of "there are things to deal with at home" and ran away.
……
Gu Nian didn't go too far when she met Gu Nan again, who was waiting for her here.
"Old men, I have no objection." Gu Nian took the lead and said, "If you have any other requests, please put them forward as well."
The purpose of the two coming here was to bring Gu Nan to meet them, and to show off their skills to the elders. I just didn’t expect that I was too satisfied...
"What a request..." Gu Nan touched his chin. For the time being, he really didn't have any demands. "Let's talk about it later."
Gu Nian's face turned a little dark again.
