Chapter 299 Gu Family
"Brother Yun, we're here."
Gu Qingzi turned around, with a bit of pride on her face, and made a "please" gesture sideways.
Yun Chen nodded, his spiritual sense quietly spread out, but then immediately retracted it.
There seems to be some kind of restriction in this mansion that can block the detection of spiritual consciousness.
interesting.
The three of them walked into the mansion, crossed the front yard, and came to an open courtyard.
An old man in a gray robe was standing at the door of the main hall, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Gu Qingzi saw the old man, she immediately trotted over and told him what had happened today.
After listening to this, Gu Fengyang reached out and touched his granddaughter's head, his eyes full of heartache.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
"It was this Brother Chen who saved me."
Gu Qingzi quickly turned around and pointed at Yun Chen.
Gu Fengyang looked Yun Chen up and down, a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashing in his eyes.
Such a young person in the Jindan realm.
"I am Gu Fengyang, thank you for saving my useless granddaughter."
"It's just a small favor, Patriarch Gu, you don't have to be polite."
Yun Chen responded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"It's just a piece of cake for you, but it's a huge favor to the Gu family."
Gu Fengyang stroked his beard and smiled gently, "Young man, you are so young, yet you have such amazing cultivation. I wonder where your master came from?"
"Someday, I will prepare a generous gift and come to your house to thank you for your cultivation."
Yun Chen was just thinking about making up some kind of remote sect to cover up the issue, but Lin Wan'er beside him spoke first.
"We are from Tianyuan Xuanfu, from Qingshi City."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen couldn't help but glance at her. This girl was quite smart.
"Tianyuan Xuanfu?"
Gu Fengyang's pupils suddenly shrank, and the gentle smile on his face froze for a moment.
"So he's a top disciple of Tianyuan Xuanfu, no wonder...
"I'm sorry for the disrespect."
Yun Chen saw all of this, and he didn't mind going with the flow.
Gu Fengyang laughed heartily: "I remember that Qingshi City is a long way from here. I wonder if you two young friends have come to my Lingxiao City for any important matter?"
Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "We came to Lingxiao City to inquire about something at the Tianji Pavilion."
"I see."
Gu Fengyang naturally saw that they were unwilling to talk more, so he stopped asking questions and nodded with a smile: "In that case, the two young friends will stay in my humble abode for a few days."
"I have instructed my servants to prepare wine and food to welcome you, my friend."
"After dinner, I'll send someone to take you two to the Tianji Pavilion."
"Then it's annoying."
Yun Chen did not refuse.
He needed time and a place to stay to find out whether this Gu family was the one he was looking for.
"Someone take Mr. Chen and Miss Lin to the guest room to rest."
"Yes."
A servant came forward respectfully and gestured for Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er to come in.
Seeing this, Gu Qingzi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, let me take Brother Chen and the others over."
"You stay."
"Grandpa has something to ask you."
Gu Qingzi paused, looked at her grandfather's serious expression, and nodded.
Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er followed the servants and walked towards the guest house.
When the two figures disappeared around the corner, Gu Qingyang's expression became serious and he looked at Gu Qingzi beside him.
"Qingzi, send someone to check their identities immediately to see if they are from Tianyuan Xuanfu."
"Grandpa, do you doubt them?"
"Brother Chen saved me."
Gu Qingzi was a little confused.
Gu Fengyang's eyes became deeper. "It's important to be on guard against others. These two people have unknown origins and high cultivation levels, so it's better to be careful."
"You also know that our Gu family's medical skills... too many people covet them."
When Gu Qingzi heard the second half of the sentence, her expression became serious.
She nodded heavily: "I understand, Grandpa, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, she turned and left in a hurry.
……
On the other side, Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er were taken to a guest house.
After the servants left, Lin Wan'er immediately closed the door, moved closer to Yun Chen, and asked quietly, "How is Brother Yun?"
"Is this the Gu family you are looking for?"
Yun Chen walked to the window, looked at the scenery in the yard, and shook his head.
"It's not clear yet."
"However, I didn't sense Ruoruo's presence here."
If Ruoruo was really imprisoned here, he couldn't have been unaware of it.
"Oh……"
Lin Wan'er nodded, then seemed to remember something, her big eyes full of curiosity.
"Brother Yun, why did the Gu family arrest my sister-in-law?"
"I think someone as good as you must have a good sister-in-law as well. Why did the Gu family arrest her?"
Yun Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned around to look at Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yun... maybe I shouldn't have asked too much..."
Looking at her like this, Yun Chen remembered that when he broke through, this girl risked her life to help him block Zhou Zheng.
The unhappiness in my heart disappeared in an instant.
"It doesn't matter."
"It's just that this is a long story."
"My mother's last name is also Gu."
"She was killed by the Gu family."
"My wife was implicated by me..."
Lin Wan'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the guest house.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
"gentlemen!"
A respectful voice came from outside the door: "The head of the family invites you!"
Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er exchanged glances.
Yun Chen stood up and straightened his robe.
Lin Wan'er followed behind him.
The two of them walked out, one in front and one behind.
In the hall of the Gu family.
A round table was filled with a wide variety of dishes, all emitting a spiritual aura, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary dishes.
Gu Fengyang sat in the main seat, but there was an empty seat next to him.
Gu Qingzi is not here.
"Please take a seat, both of you. Don't be shy."
Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er sat down.
Yun Chen picked up his chopsticks and casually asked, "Where's Miss Gu? Why isn't she here?"
Gu Fengyang's smile remained unchanged as he sighed, "Alas, Qingzi has suffered some internal injuries. The doctor in the mansion is treating her and won't let her out in the open air."
Yun Chen nodded: "I see, then I really should rest well."
Seeing him like this, Gu Fengyang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, you two have come from afar and saved Qingzi. I would like to toast you."
The three of them clinked their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down his wine glass, Gu Fengyang spoke casually, "I've heard a little bit about Qingshi City. There's a Qingyun Sect outside the city. Have you heard of it?"
Lin Wan'er thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Of course I know."
"Tianyuan Xuanfu often holds exchange meetings, and the sects near Qingshi City often compete with each other."
At this point, Lin Wan'er seemed to recall something and casually said, "But things have been a bit turbulent in the Qingyun Sect lately."
Gu Fengyang immediately became alert after hearing this.
"Oh? Why is it not peaceful?"
Lin Wan'er looked at Gu Fengyang's curious expression with a strange look on her face. She lowered her voice and said mysteriously:
"I heard that the leader of Qingyun Sect cheated on an elder and made his wife give birth to a son. This matter has become known to everyone, and now Qingyun Sect is in chaos."
Gu Fengyang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Is this really true?"
