Chapter 122 The Powerful Gu Xihao

Did the capital city explode? Of course not. In the eyes of the public, Gu Xixian, who did not take off any vest, did not have such a great influence. But it was true that Princess Xianyun was unlucky. First, she was whipped several times by her fifth brother, Prince Mingxiao, in the street for disrespecting his brother and sister-in-law. Then, the emperor ordered her to stay in the princess's mansion and not to leave the mansion without being summoned, otherwise it would be regarded as contempt for the law and she would be demoted to a commoner. But the matter was not over yet. One day, she woke up and found that she had become a hairless monster. Her hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair in places that were not usually visible to the light were all shaved off. The so-called ghost haircut was nonsense, but the glaring threat was real. She wanted to go to the palace to complain, but she was under house arrest. If she went out, she would be a commoner. She did not dare to take risks, so she could only live in fear all day long. Even if she had a thousand thoughts, she could not display them for a while.

The Yan family was very lively at this time. Thirteen families gathered together. Yes, thirteen families. Gu Xixian was not there, but there was still Gu Xihao. In addition to the twelve family heads and Gu Xihao, the four ancestors were also present.

As soon as everyone arrived, the head of the Ming family started yelling, "Ancestors, please take charge of the Ming family. What right does the Gu family have to torture the third master of the Ming family?"

"You are trying to put the head of my Gu family in danger of life and death. Master Ming, do you think that a third young master can compare to the head of my Gu family?" Gu Xihao's voice was calm, but his words were merciless.

The head of the Ming family looked at him with contempt: "She is just a yellow-haired girl. How can she be compared with the third young master of the Ming family..."

Before he could utter the word "Lun", someone had grabbed his neck. He widened his eyes in horror. He had never thought that with these thirteen families gathered together and these four ancestors in charge, he would be grabbed by the neck. He wanted to see who was so bold.

"Ye...Ye..." He wanted to exclaim "Uncle Ye", but his throat could not make any more sounds.

Gu Shaoye looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dead man. "How can the brilliant master of my Gu family be compared with a useless third young master of your Ming family? Who gave you the confidence to be so arrogant? If my master returns safely, it's fine. If my master has any mishap, humph, not to mention a third young master of a direct lineage, even you, Ming Cundao and your entire Ming family, will have to pay with your lives. What, it's been too long, do you really think that my Gu family is easy to bully?"

Gu Shaoye said this not only to Ming Cundao, but also to the other families present. What's wrong with their family head being young? Does he deserve to be bullied just because he's young? He's not dead yet, and their Gu family hasn't died out yet, and you want to shit on them?

"Shao Ye." Yuan Laozu called out softly, "Let him go first."

Gu Shaoye threw Ming Cundao onto his seat without even looking at him, and turned around to sit behind Gu Xihao.

The Yuan Laozu looked at everyone and said earnestly, "After a long time, everyone may have forgotten that the reason why our thirteen families were able to survive the imperial power and survive the years is because we are of the same blood. We have never rejected healthy competition, but there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done. Don't lose your original intention and hurt the harmony between each other for the sake of some petty gains."

Ming Cundao was indignant and could not hide his anger, but he did not dare to talk back. He was afraid of Gu Shaoye, the reckless man who would fight at the slightest disagreement. Damn it, if he had known earlier, he would have brought those old men from his family over.

Gu Xihao's eyes were dim, but his face was full of smiles: "What Patriarch Ming said is right. Compared with people like you who are over fifty years old, our Patriarch is really too young. Alas, it is not easy to sit on the position of Patriarch at such a young age, and to be able to achieve the support of everyone in the family and receive a lot of praise in a short period of time. I want to ask Patriarch Ming, how old was Patriarch Ming when he took the position of Patriarch? Over the years, has he received the sincere support of the whole family, and what changes has he made for the rise and fall of the family? Patriarch Ming is older than my Patriarch, has more experience than my Patriarch, and has more qualifications than my Patriarch. I think her talent is beyond the reach of my Patriarch. I think there are many things for a yellow-haired girl like my Patriarch to learn. Why don't you tell us a thing or two so that our Patriarch can learn from her."

Ming Cundao's face turned pale and blue after hearing this praise and criticism, and the other family heads also looked slightly shocked. Although the Gu family's young man is young, his ability is really disproportionate. Not to mention compared to the people of the same generation in their family, even compared to them, the only difference is the age, qualifications and experience mentioned by the Gu family boy. The two of the Gu family's generation are both very smart. Look at the sitting boy, who seems to be smiling, but when he said this, it seems like he is playing a game of praise and wrestling. Is this something a fifteen-year-old boy can say? Thinking of this, everyone was startled again. Yes, the fifteen-year-old boy has passed the examination and is just waiting for the results to be announced. It is difficult to get into the officialdom. Everyone present knows that the word "people's hearts" is indispensable everywhere, but seeing that this boy talks freely and calmly, his control of people's hearts may be no less than theirs.

Ming Cundao had nothing to say, but Gu Xihao suddenly changed the subject and his voice became cold: "The Gu family is in decline, and the position of the head of the family has been vacant for hundreds of years, but it does not mean that everyone in my Gu family can be bullied, nor does it mean that my brothers and sisters can be bullied by anyone who wants to. The affairs of the martial arts world are the affairs of the martial arts world, and I, Gu Xihao, am not afraid. The affairs of the court are the court, and I, Gu Xihao, am not afraid. Today, I will make a statement here. If my sister returns safely, you, I and everyone will be fine. If my sister really has an accident, I will not boast of uprooting the whole family, but it is okay to make a family suffer. If you don't believe me, just come and try, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Some people remained silent, while others sneered: "I wonder what identity you have to speak so arrogantly here? Everyone here is your elder, and a junior is speaking arrogantly, aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?"

Gu Shaoye was about to stand up after hearing this, but was stopped by Gu Xihao. He stood up, bowed politely, and then spoke with a smile: "Now let me answer the question of Patriarch Leng. I, Gu Xihao, am the only brother of the current Patriarch of the Gu Family. In public, I am in charge of the Patriarch's duties in Beijing while the Patriarch is busy. May I ask Patriarch Leng, do I have the right to speak here? Moreover, what do I mean by what I said? Am I not afraid, or am I not afraid, or will I make you suffer? I am just telling the truth. If Patriarch Leng doesn't believe me, you can give it a try."

The head of the Leng family snorted coldly: "Ignorant child."

Gu Xihao was too lazy to talk nonsense with such people. They were no match for him. They were just old and boring. He turned to the people present and said, "I will say one more thing today. If you want to pick up things we don't want, you can. But if you dare to touch a hair of my family again, I will kill you. Don't forget that although an ant is small, it can kill an elephant. What's more, I may have something that you have."

"Uncle, let's go." Gu Xihao clasped his fists to everyone and turned to leave. He didn't come here today to listen to their discussion of solutions. He just came to express his position. He has already said that what others do is not within his management scope. His sister is the biggest reverse scale in his life. If she touches him, she will die. He gave face, but if someone doesn't want to be a human being, he will make them not be a human being.

Gu Shaoye then stood up, bowed to the four ancestors, and followed without saying another word. The old man and the young man, both like strong bamboo and pine trees, walked steadily and upright, and left gracefully in full view of everyone.

Leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment!

"Bah, you really take yourself seriously!" Mingcundao kicked up his donkey's hooves after his horse ran away.

"Whether it's true or not, haven't you experienced it all?" Yan Nianjun sneered.
