“Very well Take care!” Gu Bai stood up, saw Gu Bei all the way to the door, and watched as Gu Bei’s silhouette faded away Then, he turned back, gli on the table, and ined that Gu Bei could have such an i, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but how could you possibly win against Gu Bei?”
Gu Teng stood beside Gu Bei and spoke softly in his ear “Young Master, did Gu Bai listen to your request?”
“Gu Bai values benefits over relationships, a rat to the end As long as I give hi, I refuse to believe he won’t follow!” Gu Bei srasp on the elders’ characters “Gu Heng is vicious and cunning ‘Birds of a feather flock together’; those elders that supported hi theether, they went to another elder
Gu Heng’s Courtyard
A servant hurried in “Report! Gu Bei has just finished his visit to the Eighth Elder and is now heading towards the Ninth!”
Gu Heng snorted disdainfully, “Gu Bei thought he could gain their support just by paying them a visit? He’s too naive! Those elders have done business with ifts every year Gu Bei thought he could overturn that with just one visit? That’s i paused for a briefGu Bei!”
“Yes sir!” the servant nodded and backed down
Within the Gu Clan, quiet shifts were in the works
Most of the Gu Clan’s elders were neutral They didn’t bother themselves with the affairs of daily life and instead chose to focus on cultivation Those who stood fir were only few in nue support fro he could do But with Nie Li behind hie ahead without worries Nie Li had already given hih spiritual stones to last several years

That elder had bushy brows, ashen-grey skin, and cold eyes that shined with a piercing chill
The elder shook his head and sighed, “The De Incan stand up to Gu Bei!”
Long Tian responded in a firm tone, “He’s just a piece of trash, if he can’t even handle the likes of Gu Bei I’ve wasted reed with knitted brows, “Gu Heng is a key part to our plans in controlling the Gu Clan We can’t allow hi will go to waste! But Gu Heng also cannot proceed with his current assets!”
“I recently took a trip to the Void Illusionary Divine Palace and returned with an ample harvest Here are thirty thousand spiritual stones I request elder to deliver theht still spoil our plans in the end, but at least he’ll buy us some time! Then, when the time is ripe, we’ll turn Gu Bei into a cripple, just like his sister!” Long Tianrey-robed elder looked at hi have acquired some sort of opportunity from this trip to the Void Illusionary Divine Palace?”
“No, I didn’t receive any opportunity Just a lot of spiritual stones” Long Tianht as he smiled
