"This isn't my fault, is it..."
Gu Qingfeng felt wronged. How could this possibly be blamed on him? This sort of thing depended on talent and opportunity. He simply hadn't grasped the opportunity, what else could he do...
If he had truly been able to do what Lin Xiao did, he would be the Gu family's top expert now.
"Are you blaming me?" Gu Nianci retorted.
"..."
Gu Qingfeng dared not speak. He finally understood that Gu Nianci was in a bad mood and wanted to vent her anger on him.
Therefore, he knew very well that the best thing for him to do now was to shut up.
At this moment, Gu Nianci's phone rang.
Normally, no one would call Gu Nianci. Only a few people knew this number.
Gu Yunyun, Gu Qingyun, and... that elder in seclusion at home.
Gu Yunyun and Gu Qingyun wouldn't call her, so the only possibility was that the elder had awakened.
"Third Uncle."
After Gu Nianci answered the call, she quickly called out.
"Yes... I'm in Shashi..."
"This... it's Lin Xiao. We lent the cold jade to Lin Xiao for him to study for a few days, and that's why this anomaly occurred..."
"What?!"
Gu Nianci's voice suddenly rose. She seemed to have heard something incredible.
"Yes... yes..."
After the call ended, Gu Qingfeng looked at her curiously, "Aunt, what happened to Third Granduncle?"
"He's already on his way."
Gu Nianci looked at Gu Qingfeng somewhat blankly.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng was also stunned. Third Granduncle had always lived in seclusion, rarely appearing except for occasional participation in the Heaven Ranking matches. He dedicated himself to studying martial arts, pursuing the divine realm.
He was also one of the few ancient experts in Dragon Country who had reached the peak of the Mingxin realm.
And this person was actually saying he was coming to Shashi in person?
This was too... crazy.
However, on second thought, Gu Qingfeng understood. Third Granduncle had pursued the divine realm his entire life. Ever since that person left, Third Granduncle had never found the door to the divine realm. This time, since he felt a possibility, he definitely wouldn't let it go.
"If Third Uncle arrives, he might make a move against Mr. Lin," Gu Nianci said with a grim expression. "If that happens... things will get serious."
"Indeed..."
Gu Qingfeng could already imagine it.
If Third Granduncle made a move, half of the Gu family would be finished!
Who was Lin Xiao? He wasn't someone you could just decide to deal with. Even if Lin Xiao had lost all his martial arts and was an ordinary person, their Gu family couldn't make a move against him.
Once they did, it would be equivalent to going against those elders in the capital.
At that time, forget the ancient martial arts world, forget the four great families, forget the Earth Ranking and Heaven Ranking!
They would have to obediently accompany others to their deaths.
Perhaps, he himself could survive?
Gu Qingfeng had some confidence in his talent. Leaving a single successor for the Gu family...
He quickly shook his head, casting aside his dangerous thoughts. It would be better to simply prevent such a thing from happening.
"Should I go and inform Mr. Lin?"
"Yes."
Gu Nianci took a deep breath. "Later, you'll accompany me to pick up Third Uncle. Let Yunyun stay here."
"Alright."
Gu Qingfeng then hurried to the kitchen door. "Mr. Lin, I have something to tell you."
