"Chen Gongfeng? Are you talking about this hairless kid?"
The Huang family's uncle and second uncle sneered again and again, with sarcasm in their eyes.
It's not that they don't believe it, it's just that what Liu Yi and Liu Er said when they came back is questionable, and seeing this kid in front of them with their own eyes, he is too young.
Is this the guy who got rid of the Zodiac Master and his group of men?
No matter how you hear it, it makes people feel unbelievable.
"Are you crazy? How can you talk to Chen Gongfeng like this?"
Concubine Huang's face changed slightly, lest Gu Chen would get angry because of it.
Although her uncle and second uncle are usually incapable, they are not so stupid that they cannot be cured.
I have asked Liu Yi and Liu Er to come back early to explain the situation, how dare they have such an attitude when facing a monk with supernatural powers?
"Concubine, don't pretend anymore. Uncle, I don't know where you found such a kid, but it's too naive for you to rely on him to seize the power of our Huang family?"
The uncle of the Huang family looked as if he had seen through the truth, and the aunt next to him spoke even more bitterly.
"That's right, this kid looks good. Is he your concubine's lover? Come to think of it, you've reached the age of emptiness and loneliness. It's just that if you want someone to pretend to be a priest, you have to find a decent one. Are you all stupid?"
Concubine Huang's cheeks were flushed by these words, and she understood what was going on.
Dare they think that what they asked Liu Yi and Liu Er to tell were all lies, and this Gu Chen is using to evade their power!
She looked at the whole family, old and young, and few people believed her at all, and any further explanations were just playing the piano to the cow.
"Forget it, what's the point of arguing with you? Grandpa has the final say on this matter. As long as he sees Senior Chen, he will naturally agree to let him take up the post of worship."
"Unfortunately, your grandfather is in seclusion again, but he can't see idlers."
Uncle Huang said calmly.
"Retreat again? Could it be that Grandpa's situation..."
Concubine Huang's eyes showed worry.
"Little concubine, don't make any trouble at this juncture. Isn't it enough to go to the taboo forest and almost die? Just leave the family affairs to your uncle and me."
"In fact, your uncle and I have each invited a senior expert to be an enshrinement to my Huang family. They will arrive tomorrow. Dad has agreed before retreating. Let them compete at that time. Whoever is more powerful will be the winner." Enshrined, the treatment is three times that of other families in the city."
"The strengths of those two are genuine, and they are quite well-known. How can they be compared with the little ghosts you found from some corner?"
The second uncle of the Huang family said.
Concubine Huang's face turned livid after being told, she couldn't help but look at Gu Chen with apologetic eyes.
She was the one who tried her best to invite Gu Chen to come, but she never thought that the uncle and the second uncle would offend people so much with their blind words.
She was very worried that Gu Chen would turn around and leave. After all, he has such strength at a young age, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant.
"Tomorrow's competition, can I also participate?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen looked at the two and asked calmly.
Everyone in the Huang family was stunned, and the second uncle immediately reacted and sneered. "Of course you can. You are a distinguished guest invited by the concubine, and you should have the qualifications."
"Spells have no eyes. If you are injured by two seniors, you can't blame others." The uncle of the Huang family added expressionlessly.
"Okay, I'll join."
Gu Chen replied flatly.
The elders of Huang's family laughed without saying a word, especially the aunts and aunts of Concubine Huang, who laughed so hard that their branches trembled wildly.
"In this case, Concubine, you should entertain the distinguished guests you have invited. We still have something to do, so let's go first."
A group of people shook their heads and walked away. Several people communicated loudly, and words such as "overestimate one's abilities" came from them.
"I'm sorry Senior Chen, I let you see a joke."
After the whole family left, Concubine Huang said with a wry smile, her apology lingering on her face.
"No problem."
Gu Chen shook his head, he didn't care about those guys at all, what he cared about was the triple treatment they mentioned.
"Since grandpa's health failed, the Huang family's situation in Tanlang City has become worse and worse. But in this situation, my uncle and second uncle only know how to fight for power!"
Taking Gu Chen to the guest room, Huang Fei couldn't help complaining.
The three generations of the Huang family are centered on the head of the family, Huang Pingzhang, who is Huang Fei's grandfather.
As a cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers, Huang Pingzhang built up the huge foundation of the Huang family through hard work and hard work. In the entire Beluga Mansion, he was even famous for his superb archery skills.
It's just that he has grown old in the past few years, but there are not many promising children in the second generation of the Huang family. So far, no one has been able to step into the realm of supernatural powers.
Originally, Concubine Huang's father was relatively talented in cultivation, but he died in an accident in his early years.
Under the circumstances that there is no demand, the Huang family's property is naturally coveted by many people.
Many forces are waiting, when Huang Pingzhang's lifespan is exhausted and dies, and the Huang family has no monks to guard, they can slaughter the Huang family at will.
Under such circumstances, the Huang family should have been united as one, but the various branches of the family were still fighting each other.
Especially Huang Fei's uncle and second uncle, who deliberately wanted to compete for the position of Patriarch, even hated her who was loved by Patriarch in three generations.
"Go to the ghost market to find the Nine Yin Stones, just to help your grandfather?"
Gu Chen listened to Huang Fei's narration, and couldn't help asking.
Concubine Huang nodded. The reason why she took the risk to ask Lin Daochang, who had a bad reputation, for help was to do something for her grandfather and to continue the life of the family.
Gu Chen's impression of her improved a lot for a while.
Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, it is not easy for Huang Fei to do so.
"I have the Nine Yin Stone. If the price is right, it's fine to sell it to your Huang family. But can you tell me, what is the use of this thing to your grandfather?"
Gu Chen thought about it, Huang Fei hinted many times along the way that she intends to buy the Nine Yin Stone in the hands of Bai Yuan.
It's just that Gu Chen doesn't know exactly how valuable the Nine Yin Stone is, so how could he sell it so easily?
The Nine Yin Stone is a cold thing, and it is the food of those dead things in the Ghost Market. It is hard for him to imagine how it can help the Patriarch of the Huang family who is near the end of his lifespan?
"I'm not too sure about this. I only know that Grandpa has been looking for the Nine Yin Stone for a long time. He said that it is very important to him. If he can find it, he might live longer."
Concubine Huang replied that it didn't look like she was hiding anything.
"That's good. If Senior Chen is willing to sell it, wait for Grandpa to come out and let him talk to you in detail."
Gu Chen nodded and agreed.
After arranging a place for Gu Chen, Concubine Huang looked solemn before leaving.
"Senior Chen, tomorrow's competition is very important. Since Grandpa agreed to this competition, it means that he intends to choose a successor Patriarch."
"Whoever invites the monk to become an enshrinement will naturally have the greatest say in the family in the future."
"Uncle and Second Uncle don't have enough abilities at all. I don't want the family to perish in their hands, so I ask Senior Chen to do my best when the time comes. I guarantee that I will give Senior Chen a richer reward!"
She had already given up all her strength, pinned her hopes on Gu Chen, and wanted to fight for the position of Patriarch.
She saluted again, the scenery on her chest looked choppy, no matter how you look at it, you won't get tired of it.
"I will take it seriously."
Gu Chen touched his nose, and looked away from that chest.
