"It's simply ridiculous! Gu Nian, this girl, this time is too outrageous!"
"A Transcendent who doesn't know his roots, just say that he is our own family. When did our Gu family blood become so cheap?"
"That's right! If you only need extraordinary people, a bunch of them can be recruited in a blink of an eye, not to mention we old guys are not dead yet!"
In the inner hall of the Gu family, a group of old people were sitting in a circle, expressing their dissatisfaction with Gu Nian's actions this time.
Gu Nian herself was not here, so instead of her being the target of the "siege", it was a middle-aged man who accompanied her at the end—this was Gu Nian's father, Gu Mingyuan.
Gu Mingyuan is the current patriarch of the Gu family. Since Gu Nian was promoted, he has been gradually delegating power, handing over the important tasks of the family to Gu Nian, and concentrating on his own practice.
Strength is the foundation of everything, and the Gu family knows this very well, so they have developed this inheritance model.
Like him, the Gu family still hides seven or eight old guys, all of whom are of extraordinary strength, and they are the real heritage of the Gu family.
Except for those who went out for wandering, these people were all retreating and cultivating, but when the news came this time, they couldn't sit still.
Gu Mingyuan was being sprayed wildly by an old man by his collar, but he could only smile apologetically: "Second Uncle, calm down..."
"Calm down? How can I calm down!" The second uncle slapped the table angrily, and a handprint was made on the surface of the clean sandstone. "If I keep calm, the Gu family will fall into the hands of your precious daughter!"
"It's not so exaggerated, he's just a kid who has just entered the extraordinary..." The hat was a bit too big, and Gu Mingyuan hurriedly said it down.
The second uncle's anger remained undiminished: "The Gu family has lasted for hundreds of years, and no one with a foreign surname has been recruited into the house! If you are not a member of my clan, your heart must be different. Don't you understand this truth? Have you forgotten the ancestor's precepts?"
Gu Mingyuan was so trained that he didn't dare to refute, so he continued to laugh apologetically, knowing in his heart that the bosses were furious this time, and there was indeed a reason for it.
The Gu family is a family that rose from the war years, and it has been standing until now, and has seen too many tragedies due to family discord.
Therefore, the ancestors had long left the ancestral precepts, strictly prohibiting the killing of the clan, and not allowing the recruitment of superpowers with foreign surnames.
At the level of Chaofan, one can already overturn the situation of the battle with one effort. If there are traitors of this level inside, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be useless.
Seeing that Gu Mingyuan stopped talking, all the elders around him started to make noise again.
"Everyone, everyone." Gu Mingyuan had no choice but to stand up, clapping his hands and said, "Gu Nian told me about Gu Nan's situation, and there is really no need to worry about his origin."
"Why? Could it be possible that there will be extraordinary people popping out of thin air?"
"...It's pretty much the same." Gu Mingyuan looked a little weird, took out a few documents from his arms, and distributed them to the elders, "Everyone can take a look."
The second uncle snatched the information from his hand, scanned it ten times at a glance, and finally eased his angry face.
"So it's the Ascender? Gu Nian brought it up with his own hands, so it's reassuring." The second uncle stroked his beard and said, "Wait, he's been to Minglou?"
"That's right." Gu Mingyuan nodded slightly, "There were some accidents during the ascension, he was robbed to Minglou, it should be the cause and effect of someone targeting Gu Nian."
A person next to him frowned and said, "Minglou... will there be a problem?"
Before Gu Mingyuan could speak, the second uncle had already waved his hand: "Minglou never takes the initiative to interfere in the big world. What's more, there is a star master standing behind him. To deal with our family, we still need to use this method?"
"That's true..."
Gu Mingyuan's expression finally relaxed a little. When Gu Nian first mentioned this plan, he also reacted like his second uncle until he knew Gu Nan's origin.
Ascenders are indeed more reassuring.
It was the first time for these people from the small planes to come to the Star Universe Realm, so they couldn't be spies. Except for the uncontrollable character, other aspects are not much different from domestic children.
But the second uncle is obviously more stubborn than he imagined: "That's not allowed. You can't recruit people with a foreign surname, Chaofan, this is the ancestor's precept!"
"Gu Nan's surname is also Gu..." Gu Mingyuan said weakly.
"Bullshit! Are these two Gus the same?" The second uncle immediately spat at Gu Mingyuan.
It's just that what he said reminded an old lady next to him, she suddenly interjected: "Since the origin is clear, why don't you just recruit that Gu Nan in as your son-in-law?"
The entire inner hall suddenly fell silent, and after a while, all the old people showed happy smiles on their faces.
Once a person gets old, he always likes to pair up with the younger generation, and this will not change anywhere.
And for a big family like the Gu family, there is no such thing as free love. Marriage is common, and this is not the first time it has been done.
"How about that girl Xingzhu? I think she is quite close to that person."
"My temper is a bit fierce, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the family in the future... It's better to be Gu Ying, yes, the old six's family..."
"That's true... the granddaughter of the third family is also fine! This year is fourteen, so it's better to settle the marriage sooner."
Gu Mingyuan's face twitched a little when he heard such a discussion, and he was about to speak, but he heard the second uncle next to him slam the table: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the critical moment, it was still the second uncle...
"Then Gu Nan is also an extraordinary person after all, and he was brought up by Gu Nian. If you want to get married, you should consider Gu Nian first!" The second uncle said with his beard shaking as he tapped on the table.
Gu Mingyuan almost staggered and fell on the table.
The second uncle's words were unanimously approved by all the elders.
"Second brother is right, little Gu Nian's marriage is also a problem! If you miss this time, you don't know when you will find a suitable candidate."
"That's right, you can feel more at ease when you become a family..."
At this moment, there was a sudden coughing sound at the door: "Ahem!"
Everyone was silent again, turning their heads to look, Gu Nian had already stood there at some point, and there was a young man in white beside her.
The elders who had read the information just now recognized at a glance that this person is Gu Nan who is in the limelight now.
The old people who had been discussing enthusiastically just now suddenly all became reserved, and the second uncle's expression became serious, and he stroked his long beard lightly, looking like a fairy.
"It's Gu Nian... When did you come?" Second Uncle said with a smile.
Gu Nian looked at him helplessly: "Second Uncle... We all heard it just now."
"..."
…
No matter in any society, it is a very common phenomenon that women who are too good are not easy to marry.
Gu Nian now, and Xu Feiyan in the future, are all facing similar problems.
With their status, it is almost impossible to find a suitable marriage partner, because there is not enough weight. But finding someone to marry at random felt too bad, so it was delayed like this.
As written in the novel, the huge family has spent decades of hard work and finally cultivated an elite child, but in the end they used it to catch a wealthy son-in-law... This is completely nonsense.
No sensible family would do that. After all, what belongs to others belongs to others. Relying on other forces to support development is tantamount to handing over the lifeline to others.
People like Gu Nian, no matter men or women, will be the rulers of the family generation and contribute their abilities to the family.
So she either recruits a husband-in-law, or has a political marriage with someone, in name only, until the next generation grows up.
Regarding these, Gu Nan only wanted to understand the twists and turns after hearing the conversations of the elders.
So he patted Gu Nian on the shoulder: "You guys discuss it first, and come to me when you have a result."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Mingyuan who was next to him suddenly said, "Mr. Gu, wait a moment."
Gu Nan turned his head, didn't speak, just showed him a weird smile, but didn't stop walking. Gu Mingyuan frowned, and simply reached out to stop him.
But when his hand was about to fall on Gu Nan, Gu Nan disappeared suddenly and without a sound.
Gu Mingyuan was startled, and was about to step out to check, but the second uncle put one hand on his shoulder.
"You can't catch up." Second Uncle shook his head lightly and said, "That's the power of shadow... the fastest one among the three thousand rules."
Gu Nanlu's hand made many of the elders look serious, and one of them asked: "Isn't the fastest one the law of wind?"
"Of course not. The fastest thing in the world is light, and where there is light, there is shadow."
…
"It's almost like this." Gu Nian said slowly, "We provide him with all the conveniences for reincarnation, and he stands for our Gu family."
To win over Gu Nan, the elders can think of this, and Gu Nian can naturally think of it too. In fact, she had already planned to do so.
Letting Gu Nan appear as an offshoot of the Gu family, and then recognizing him as his younger brother, is equivalent to placing his identity in the main family.
And it was from Gu Nian that the elders learned about Gu Nan's true value - many details are impossible to describe in detail, only Gu Nian himself knows.
"Are you going to become superhuman in a few months? Even if you're a reincarnator, that's an exaggeration..." The old lady sighed softly.
When she was young, she was a reincarnated person, fighting life and death between different planes, and only then did she successfully advance to the extraordinary.
So she is very clear about the risks and benefits of reincarnation. Reincarnation is not a shortcut, but a dangerous path.
The elders were not dissatisfied with Gu Nan's conditions. In their view, this little resource is nothing if they want to recruit an extraordinary expert who knows everything.
After all, no matter how reincarnated a person is, he still has to take into account his own soul. In fact, the resources that can be consumed are very limited.
"It's not a big deal if you're just keen on reincarnation." The second uncle said, "But let him properly participate in family affairs and not be isolated from the family."
For outsiders, the easiest way to integrate into a group is to let him take over certain affairs.
If he wants to complete it, he must get in touch with the people inside and outside, and he will naturally become familiar with it after going back and forth.
"The martial arts competition is about to start, and I plan to let him be one of the judges." Gu Nian was well prepared and confessed his previous thoughts.
"It's possible!" All the elders glanced at each other and nodded immediately.
And the old lady thought about it, and said tentatively: "Xiao Nian, don't you really think about kissing each other?"
Gu Nian's face turned dark: "Grandma, I already recognize him as my younger brother..."
"What's the matter!" The old lady waved her hand domineeringly, "Who dares to gossip about you two extraordinary people?"
Gu Nian rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, and quickly left behind the shabby excuse of "there are still things to deal with at home", and fled in despair.
…
Gu Nian didn't go too far, and ran into Gu Nan again, who was waiting for her here.
"The old men have no objections." Gu Nian took the lead and said, "If you have any other requests, please bring them up as well."
The purpose of the two of them coming here was to bring Gu Nan to meet them, show off their skills, and explain to the elders. I just didn't expect to be overly satisfied...
"A request..." Gu Nan touched his chin, he really didn't have any needs for the time being, "Let's talk about it later."
Gu Nian's face turned dark again.
