Huangfu Wuji was silent for a moment before replying. "There are some things that concern me a lot, and I do this out of prudence."

"Your Excellency should have seen Chen Gu who caused the daytime star to appear. Could it be because of him?"

The man in the bamboo hat speculated.

"I've roughly determined the origin of that kid. I admit that it is not easy for him to get to where he is now, but in my eyes, all his actions are nothing but manipulative arms!"

Huangfu Wuji sneered.

"Oh, from the tone of your lord, it seems that it is really him, but since your lord doesn't care about him, why is it unnecessary?"

The man in the bamboo hat asked.

"Qing Ming failed in his body training in Wanlong's secret ground. Since he was born, because of the blessing of great luck, he has always been smooth sailing, but he has never encountered such a setback!"

Huangfu Wuji narrowed his eyes, "I'm a little concerned about this, ever since he came back from a trip to the Eastern Wasteland, I've always felt something strange."

"Oh? Because of this, my lord deliberately increased the difficulty of the martial arts competition to prevent Qing Ming from losing unexpectedly?"

"That's right, although Qing Ming is not important in the whole plan, if he loses, it will affect the prestige of my Huangfu family. Now that the competition has become more difficult, even if there are still people who want to cause trouble, it is no longer possible. "

Huangfu Wuji looked indifferent, as if everything was under control.

"The subordinate understands."

The man in the bamboo hat didn't ask any more questions.

"Since you have come to Luoyang, you should live in the mansion for a few days. By the way, Qingming brought back a green cow from Donghuang. I think the origin is not simple. If you have a chance, you can help me to see if it has any question."

Huangfu Wuji's heart moved, and he said.

"Understood, this subordinate will leave."

The man in the bamboo hat smiled and disappeared into the study.

...

Tomorrow is the tournament, Gu Chen will have dinner with his mother tonight.

After the meal, he didn't go back to his room to practice as usual, but stayed and told his mother about his next plan.

Once this matter is decided to be done, it is bound to cause huge waves, and the Shen family will also be affected accordingly. He needs to make sure that his mother supports him.

After Gu Chen confessed, Shen Yushu just picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

"Chen'er, do you know what Huangfu Qingming means to Huangfu Wuji?"

Gu Chen's eyes showed thought. "It should be the grandson who loves and values ​​him very much, right?"

Shen Yushu shook his head, "Huangfu Wuji is cold-blooded and ruthless, and to him, family affection is not worth mentioning."

"What does mother want to say?" Gu Chen was puzzled.

"Huangfu Wuji has four sons under his knees, and he named them Li, Yi, Ren and De respectively."

"The reason why he named his son that way is because when he first entered the court and the imperial family was not yet powerful, he did so to show his humility."

"When Huangfu Qingming was born, his ambitions had gradually expanded, so he was named Qingming. The so-called Qingming means heaven!"

"From the name, you can tell how much hope he holds in Huangfu Qingming."

When Gu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. It turned out that the name had such a deep meaning.

"In today's Kyushu, people in the world say that the Huangfu family is a duo. The old one is Huangfu Wuji, and the young one is Huangfu Qingming. The two of them are actually the face of the Huangfu family, where their prestige lies."

"So this time you participate in the martial arts competition, if you can defeat Huangfu Qingming, it will definitely be a huge blow to the prestige of the Huangfu family. Huangfu Wuji has put a lot of effort into Huangfu Qingming. If he fails, he will be more powerful than Huangfu." It hurts him to have a bunch of people die at home.”

As Shen Yushu spoke, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Your plan mother knows, do whatever you want, don't worry so much, mother will always support you."

"Just remember, once you start, you must defeat Huangfu Qingming, and let Huangfu Wuji feel the pain!"

At this moment, Shen Yushu was like a decisive iron lady. Seeing her like this, Gu Chen knew that his worries were unnecessary.

It's true that knowing a child is like a mother, what my mother thinks is exactly the same as myself.

"Mother, don't worry, the baby will not disappoint your expectations."

Gu Chen promised earnestly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

What he wanted to do was to defeat Huangfu Qingming.

"Tomorrow's martial arts competition, my child is assigned to the second competition area, and will appear in the afternoon. If mother has time, go and watch the battle."

"It's getting late, the boy will go back first."

The last trace of worry in Gu Chen's heart disappeared, he got up and said.

"Mother and Xiaoqiu will visit tomorrow."

Shen Yushu replied with a smile.

Gu Chen nodded and walked to the door.

"correct."

Shen Yushu called him suddenly, with a little curiosity on his face.

"Are you participating in the martial arts competition this time purely to deal with the Huangfu family? What's going on with you and Princess Lanchu?"

Gu Chen looked embarrassed, somehow, he remembered the unforgettable kiss in Wanlong's secret place.

Seeing Gu Chen's expression, Shen Yushu showed a look that I understand.

"Actually, you are not too young, you can consider talking about marriage."

"Princess Lanchu saw it from the water mirror stone, and she is indeed beautiful, even more beautiful than your former fiancée."

"My Gu family is a single passer for three generations, if you like..."

Swish!

Before Shen Yushu could say anything, Gu Chen had already used the star-wearing step and disappeared into the room.

"Squeak!"

The white ape was left behind and burst into laughter upon seeing this.

The originally serious atmosphere can be said to have been completely destroyed.

Shen Yushu picked up the little white ape, rubbed its snow-white hair, with worry in his eyes.

"Little guy, as a mother I'm powerless, I can't help him with anything."

"I know that you were with him when he was most lonely and helpless, and I will trouble you in the future. This martial arts tournament is unpredictable, and you have to follow him and never leave."

Shen Yushu said softly, his words were full of a mother's uneasiness about her son.

After Bai Yuan listened, he nodded half-understanding.

"Mother, really, say such a thing at this time."

Gu Chen returned to his residence, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tomorrow's martial arts competition, it can be said that he will formally declare war on the entire Huangfu family, and his heart is actually very tense.

But being interrupted by Mother, the tension in my heart disappeared a lot.

"It's been more than a year, I've been running around and hiding my name for so long, and I've finally come to this point."

Gu Chen looked at the night sky outside the window and murmured, the sky is full of stars.

Stars only appear at night, just like myself in the past year, always hiding in the dark.

However, he knew that not every star appeared only at night. There was a star called the sun, which would also glow and heat during the day, even covering up all the stars.

After tomorrow, he will go to a bright place, like the sun, shining incomparably!
