Chapter 401: Teaching Gu Qingluan a Lesson Simultaneously
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Grandfather had entrusted most of the Gu family’s power to the eldest uncle in recent years, but the one who still held the most authority was him.
The reason for giving the power to the eldest uncle was to focus on cultivation.
The last time they saw Grandfather was before he went into seclusion, and he mentioned that he was secluding himself to achieve the Saint Realm.
As long as Grandfather successfully advanced, the Gu family would have another Saint!
When the time comes, he and the eldest uncle would join forces, and he didn’t believe they couldn’t deal with Gu Qingluan!
Gu Zhixin was somewhat apprehensive of Grandfather, “This… isn’t it a bit inappropriate? Grandfather doesn’t like being disturbed.”
Gu Jinrong’s eyes sparkled with eagerness. “It depends on who it is! I am his grandson, and I’m just going to greet him; Grandfather won’t blame me!”
Most importantly, he wanted Grandfather to see him first when he came out of seclusion.
Only when Grandfather was angry would he be determined to punish Gu Qingluan!
Gu Jinyue stood up and gestured that she wanted to go with Gu Jinrong.
Gu Jinrong’s eyes flickered, and he nodded, “Alright, Yue’er, let’s go together. Second Sister isn’t at Chengyuan right now, so it’s up to us siblings to show filial piety to Grandfather.”
Seeing that they were determined to go, Gu Zhixin no longer tried to stop them, “I’ll have someone prepare your belongings. Be careful on the way, and don’t cause trouble…”
Gu Jinrong impatiently interrupted him, “We get it! In our current state, who can we provoke?”
One was crippled, and the other was maimed. They were the ones who would get bullied outside.
At this moment, Gu Jinrong’s mind was solely focused on seeking revenge, and he had no intention of getting involved in unnecessary trouble.
Gu Zhixin sighed and got up to make arrangements.
Meanwhile, at the Gu residence, Gu Zhicheng was also listening to the reports from the servants about what was happening outside.
To say that he wasn’t angry would be a lie.
After all, even if Gu Qingluan refused to acknowledge it, it didn’t change the fact that she was his daughter.
The fact that his daughter was such a formidable young lady gave him a sense of pride.
The servant informed him of the most prevalent rumors outside, and seeing no anger on his face, they thought to themselves: the family head is becoming more composed.
“Alright, I’ve learned about this matter. Don’t tell the Second Lady, understand?”
The servant immediately nodded, “Yes, family head.”
“You’re dismissed.”
The servant withdrew.
Gu Zhicheng began to contemplate how to mend his father-daughter relationship with Gu Qingluan.
Through this incident, he increasingly hoped for reconciliation with Gu Qingluan.
Perhaps the people outside were right; the eldest daughter was more outstanding than the second daughter.
However, his second daughter was also good, and she did not fail to make him proud. When she returned after completing her studies, he hoped that the two sisters could get along lovingly.
If Gu Qingluan knew what Gu Zhicheng was thinking right now, she would surely sneer and retort, “Dream on!”
Gu Zhicheng instructed the servants in the mansion not to spread the news to Qiankun Academy.
However, there were always a few servants in the mansion who were close to Gu Lingxue.
At the very first moment, they had already spread the news.
Due to the long distance, the news hadn’t reached Gu Lingxue yet.
As for the letter sent by Wang Shi last time, Gu Lingxue had received it. Upon learning about what Gu Qingluan had done since her return, she was both surprised and annoyed.
As for the exaggerated praise of Gu Qingluan’s abilities in Wang Shi’s letter, Gu Lingxue didn’t entirely believe it. She thought Wang Shi had exaggerated Gu Qingluan’s strength.
Therefore, she didn’t come back in person. Instead, she asked her fellow senior martial brothers from the same sect to make a trip to Tianjing City, coincidentally to deal with Gu Qingluan.
Gu Lingxue’s sect brothers, Yuan Jincai and Xun Yixuan, were also disciples of the Revered One. They were currently on a journey, and they cared deeply for Gu Lingxue. Upon hearing her request, they considered it convenient and quickly agreed without any hesitation.
At this moment, the two of them had just arrived in Tianjing City.
Upon hearing someone mention “Gu Lingxue”, the two senior brothers exchanged smiles.
Yuan Jincai chuckle. “I didn’t expect Sister Lingxue to have such a big reputation in Tianjing. Just walking down the street, we can hear people talking about her..”
