Chapter 5

Chen Xuantong nodded, "Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao sent us a message, saying that this is a tribulation for Chang'an, but also his good fortune!"

"Let us wait patiently; otherwise, we would all go mad this year!"

The crowd nodded slightly.

Chen Xuantong looked at everyone and sneered, "It seems we have been too low-key, leading some to look down on our Chen family. Starting today, anyone who dares to use underhanded tactics or bully the young master... will be killed without mercy, no matter who they are!"

"Yes!!!"

The nine elders shouted in unison, their aura rising sharply, distorting the space around them.

This was far from the Heavenly King Realm that others knew; it was...

"By the way, Head of the Family, the young master will go to the Gu family in three days to break off the engagement! According to our information, Jun Wujian is at the Gu family. How should we deal with that guy?"

At this moment, one of the elders spoke, a mocking smile on his lips.

"What attitude should we have? We will do as the young master says! Whoever doesn't agree, we'll beat them into submission!" Chen Xuantong said coldly.

"Understood!"

The crowd nodded.

At this moment, Elder Nine stepped forward, "I will go with Elder Eight to meet the two old fellows from the Tai Cang Sword Domain!"

"Hehe, fine!"

Elder Eight stepped forward, nodding slightly. He was a refined middle-aged man, carrying a sword wrapped in cloth, exuding a steady and heavy aura. But as he spoke, his eyes were filled with sword light.

"Head of the Family, I didn't expect the young master to have grown so sensible after a year. He knows our family's difficulties and directly asked for the resources he gave to Gu Qingcheng, which I never thought of before."

At this moment, Second Elder Chen spoke with a face full of satisfaction.

"Hmm, not bad."

Chen Xuantong nodded in agreement, "But we still need to act a bit more strained, so he understands the difficulties and can strive harder. We can't let him become a spoiled young master."

All the elders exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

——

At the same time, at the Gu family.

Everyone in the Gu family was trying their best to please a young man, Jun Wujian.

In the main hall, Jun Wujian sat at the head of the table, his gaze haughty and domineering.

Listening to Gu Qingcheng's complaints, he said disdainfully, "Qingcheng, don't worry. If that Chen Chang'an dares to come in three days, I will make him kneel on the ground and beg for your forgiveness!"

Hearing Jun Wujian's words, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingshan, the head of the Gu family, smiled fawningly, "Qingcheng, quickly thank Young Master Jun. If it weren't for Young Master Jun, we would have been bullied by the Chen family!"

"Okay, Father."

Gu Qingcheng smiled and bowed to Jun Wujian, "Thank you, Young Master Jun. Your kindness will never be forgotten."

"Hehe, Qingcheng, you're too polite. Your matter is my matter! Bullying you is bullying me!" Jun Wujian's eyes narrowed as he stepped forward and gently held Gu Qingcheng's hand, speaking gently.

"Exactly, Qingcheng, don't you understand Young Master Jun's intentions? You can't辜负 his good intentions," Liu Sisi chimed in, her face full of ambiguity.

Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng blushed and lowered her head.

This made Jun Wujian's heart itch, wanting to kiss her, but there were too many people around.

"Cough, cough... Hahaha, Sisi is right!" Seeing the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, Gu Qingshan was delighted, "If Young Master Jun is interested in my Qingcheng, once she breaks off the engagement with the Chen family, I will personally arrange for my daughter to marry Young Master Jun!"

Hearing this, everyone around smiled.

Gu Qingcheng lowered her head even more, muttering, "Oh, Father, why are you saying these things suddenly!"

After saying this, she blushed and pulled Liu Sisi to run away.

As they left, Liu Sisi's gaze and Jun Wujian's gaze met in the air, filled with deep meaning...

Seeing Gu Qingcheng leave in a shy manner, everyone laughed heartily.

But Jun Wujian's smile was forced, and he coldly thought, "Want to marry into my Jun family? Dream on!

However... playing around is fine, after all, it seems her purity is still intact...

Chen Chang'an, you treated her so well, but you didn't even take her virginity, truly laughable!"

Thinking this, but what Jun Wujian said was different, "Marrying Miss Qingcheng would be the greatest honor of my life!

However... I still need to cultivate more feelings with Miss Qingcheng first, so as not to rush her."

"Haha, yes, yes, young people like some romance, I understand," Gu Qingshan laughed, his mood greatly improved.

Initially, with the support of the Chen family, his Gu family quickly established a foothold in the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Now, finding a bigger backer made him feel that he had a good daughter!

"Then I will go find Qingcheng first," Jun Wujian said with a smile.

"Please, Young Master Jun, go ahead!"

Gu Qingshan smiled fawningly.

Then, Jun Wujian, along with a servant and two elders, left the main hall of the Gu family and headed towards the back courtyard.

"Master, do you really want to marry this Gu Qingcheng? I'm afraid the old master... won't agree."

On the way, one of the elders beside him spoke in a low voice, "Moreover... this Gu Qingcheng seems to be hinting at you, asking you to give her various spiritual treasures, Master, this woman... is quite cunning."

"Hehe, of course not, we'll see how it goes," Jun Wujian said disdainfully, his eyes slightly slanted, "As for giving her spiritual treasures... I'll give her nothing!"

As they walked, Jun Wujian spoke calmly, "Money is for women to see, not for women to spend, understand?"

"Master is wise."

The elder behind him was taken aback, then nodded slowly.

"However... this Gu Qingcheng... is quite interesting, coy and hesitant, wanting to capture me...

She wants me to invest, wants to dangle me like a fish?

Forget it!

If I don't get what I want, she won't get any benefits!"

Jun Wujian said disdainfully.

He had bedded countless women in the Holy Land; as soon as Gu Qingcheng moved, he knew what she wanted.

...

Three days passed in a flash.

In these three days, the news of Chen Chang'an's return spread throughout every corner of the capital, causing a huge stir.

After all, he was once the most brilliant genius, and now, with no cultivation, it inevitably made many people have ulterior motives.

Today, everyone's attention was on the Gu family...
