Chapter 553

"Your father...he is secretly practicing somewhere in our clan."

It was the Great Elder who answered Gu Chen. After he finished speaking, the audience was silent, and no one refuted or responded.

"No matter how much you practice, you won't even see me, right?" Gu Chen smiled wryly, why did he feel that the words of the Great Elder were not very true.

"You don't know. When your father first returned to the clan four years ago, he desperately longed for strength, so he practiced desperately. The secret place he entered was quite special, completely isolated from the outside world, and as soon as the monks practiced, What is a few years worth?"

"So he doesn't know about your return. He will naturally come back when he is successful in cultivation, and then your father and son will naturally be able to reunite."

The elder explained.

Gu Chen stared at his eyes, then glanced at the other people present.

The elders remained silent, their expressions unchanged.

He was keenly aware of some problems, but seeing that everyone clearly didn't want to reveal more details to him, he nodded tactfully.

"I see, this junior understands."

Seeing that he was not relentless in this matter, many elders even looked relieved.

Gu Chen noticed this, his heart was slightly cold, what happened to his father?

After answering this question, the meeting ended, and Gu Lianyue took Gu Chen to his residence.

Along the way, some clansmen took the initiative to greet Gu Chen, expressing their closeness, and some people stood in the distance and pointed at him, and could vaguely hear contemptuous laughter.

Gu Chen was full of worries, and the elder's answer about his father's whereabouts made him very worried, but he refused to discuss it with him in detail when he asked others about it.

He could only pretend to be indifferent, and planned to investigate the matter slowly after the Gu family had gained a firm foothold.

"Cousin, in your opinion, if I participate in the martial arts competition in the clan association, what are my chances of winning?"

Leaving the clan ancestral hall, on the way to the residence, Gu Chen asked Gu Lianyue.

He gradually became acquainted with Gu Lianyue, and she was one of the few people in the clan that he could trust, so he changed his words.

Although in the ancestral hall he decided to join the clan meeting without much thought, he didn't really have much confidence in his heart.

He doesn't know the overall level of the younger generation of the Gu family. If they are all masters like Gu Lianyue, it may be extremely difficult for him to get in the top three.

It's just that he has no choice, he has to enter the ancestral land no matter what, if the bones of the heavens are not repaired for a day, his whole body will seem incomplete.

When Gu Lianyue saw that Gu Chen had changed her address, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"All the younger generations in the six veins of the Gu family can be roughly divided into three levels."

"Which three levels?" Gu Chen became interested.

"The first level is me and Gu Jiexing. Both he and I have reached the realm of Dharma Body. There is a list of the top ten talents in the Fairy Continent, and he and I are included in it."

"If you meet the two of us, you won't be able to stop it for a round."

Gu Chen's expression froze when he heard that, "So, I can fight for the third place in the top three of the clan association?"

Seeing Gu Chen's nervous expression, Gu Lianyue showed a playful smile.

"Thirdly, you don't have a share, because there are a group of disciples who are in the realm of Faxiang under the two of us."

"Several people in this group have already cultivated the top supernatural power [Baqi Hongtu]. When you meet them, you will also have to hate them."

"The third level is the Heavenly Human Realm and below. Only people at this level have a chance of winning. I mean, do you still want to join the clan meeting?"

Her tone was full of ridicule, and Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head. "Cousin, tell me the truth."

He could see that Gu Lianyue was making alarmist remarks.

"You're smart." Gu Lianyue snorted coldly.

This cousin has always been calm and unhurried since we met, far more sophisticated and mature than his age, that's why she wanted to scare him, but he didn't expect him to see it right away.

Seeing that the other party was not fooled, she stopped teasing and told the truth.

"The three levels of the younger generation in the clan I just mentioned are actually correct, but at this clan meeting, you won't meet so many masters."

"I am twenty-five years old. I have already won the martial arts competition of the clan association a few years ago. After entering the ancestral land, I will naturally not participate in the martial arts competition again. Gu Jiexing is twenty-two years old this year. Although he still meets the requirements, he is the clan leader. The direct descendant of that line, so he has already entered the ancestral land unconditionally once."

"Speaking of this, it turns out that your lineage is the direct line, and you are the only candidate for your lineage. Originally, this spot should belong to you. Speaking of which, Gu Jiexing has taken your spot."

Gu Chen didn't care when he heard that, the identity of his lineage was taken away decades ago, so it doesn't make sense to say it now.

According to Gu Lianyue, neither of the two geniuses in the clan will participate in the competition, so his chances have increased greatly!

"Go on." He couldn't help but smile.

Gu Lianyue gave him a blank look, and then explained her own analysis.

"In addition to the two of us who won't participate, several other masters who are still in the realm of law have already entered the ancestral land, so your number of powerful enemies is less."

"Most of the children in the clan heard that you were going to participate in the clan meeting, and thought that you were not a threat, but I don't think so."

"You have killed the monks in the Faxiang Realm in Penglai Xiandao, and you have persisted for so long under the siege of so many enemies. Your strength is evident. According to my estimation, among all the younger generations participating in the clan meeting this time, your strength is about Middle and upper reaches."

"So you actually have a chance of entering the top three. The premise is that you are lucky and don't meet the most difficult people at the beginning."

"Is it just the middle and upper reaches?" Gu Chen was not satisfied with this analysis, so it seems that he wants to get the top three variable.

"This evaluation is already very high." Gu Lianyue rolled her eyes, and the rest of the clan now regarded Gu Chen as an unarmed waste.

But thinking of this, she found it interesting, and was looking forward to what would happen during the martial arts competition.

Some children in the clan have always regarded themselves very highly, and in her opinion, it would be fun for Gu Chen who came back from outside to teach them a lesson.

"Cousin, can you tell me which opponents I need to pay attention to, and what are their supernatural powers?"

Gu Chen tried to get close to Gu Lianyue, hoping to get useful information from her.

"If you want to know, go to Bawu Pavilion tomorrow. Your residence is here."

As Gu Lianyue said, the two of them had already arrived at their destination.

This place is located in a remote alley on the east side of Dahuang Ancient Town, away from the clan ancestral hall and the family's mansion.

Gu Chen glanced at his residence, and saw that although the house was old, the yard was quiet and he was quite satisfied.

He was about to turn his head and ask Gu Lianyue about Bawu Pavilion, when he saw that she had gone far away, and her voice came from afar.

"Rather than relying on my information, why don't you go to Bawu Pavilion tomorrow to find out. You just got back and rest well. Your father lived here before, and he is very satisfied with it. I believe you will like it too."
