Chapter 1767

Two days ago, Tang Gaolan had said that she would give him a satisfactory answer. He'd been confused at the time, but now he understood a little.

According to Tang Gaolan's tone, the result shouldn't be like this.

"That's what most people in the Tang family think. As for what that little girl Gaolan thinks, it's not important!" Second Uncle answered decisively.

"In other words, the Tang family is going to go back on its word?" Gu Chen smiled nonchalantly.

"You're too serious, Young Master Chen. It was that girl Gaolan's idea to let you be a sacrifice. The Tang family didn't promise anything." Second Uncle's expression immediately turned cold.

"But I saved Tang Jianqing and Tang Gaolan," Gu Chen replied indifferently.

If it weren't for him, Tang Gaolan and Tang Jianqing would've been assassinated by the Pavilion of Innocence. They wouldn't have made it to the Luo family alive.

Back then, Tang Gaolan had begged him to become the Tang family's sacrifice. Now, the Tang family was going to go back on their word. It was truly laughable.

Although Gu Chen didn't care about a mere sacrifice position, he wasn't someone anyone could bully. When he'd promised Tang Gaolan, he'd said that if the Tang family went back on their word, they'd have to pay the price!

"Young Master Chen, Gaolan and Jianqing are indeed indebted to you. This is a different matter. The Tang family will naturally pay you accordingly."

The Tang family's second uncle took out a storage ring from his pocket and handed it to Gu Chen.

"There are a thousand dao gems in here. I believe this is not a small number for Young Master Chen. It's worth your effort."

Gu Chen took the storage ring and scanned it with his divine sense. He found that there were indeed a thousand dao gems, and they were of good quality.

Although dao gems were the common currency in the Primordial Dao World, ordinary people usually used crystal fragments. They were fine and of poor quality, so their value was naturally low.

One or two ordinary crystal fragments were actually enough for ordinary people to live for a year. For the Tang family to take out a thousand dao gems in one go, it was a huge fortune for ordinary people.

However, this was only for ordinary people. For cultivators who truly wanted to cultivate, this was at most a small fortune. For a prestigious family like the Tang family, it was a drop in the bucket.

"With this amount of Dao crystal, it will be enough for Young Master Chen to settle down in Peidu. It will also save that rogue cultivator the pain of wandering around. Please accept this money. Remember, Young Master Chen, you must never tell anyone that you saved our Tang family's disciple. This is for your own good. "

The Tang Family's second uncle's tone was somewhat condescending, and there was even a trace of contempt in his eyes.

He had already found out about the background of this person in front of him. He was just a nameless independent cultivator, yet he dared to dream of becoming a Revered Elder of his Tang Clan and enjoy the high annual tribute.

The Tang Family's resources had always been tight. If they added another Consecrator, it would mean that they would have less resources for the younger generation. Thus, he naturally could not allow such a thing to happen.

He wasn't the only one who didn't allow it. The entire Tang family didn't like it either.

Gu Chen only played with the storage ring in his hand in silence when he heard the faint threat in Tang family's second uncle's words.

Seeing that he didn't agree even after a long time, the Tang Family's second uncle frowned, feeling extremely displeased.

Because this person had indeed saved the Patriarch's children, he had a good conversation with him. In this situation, obediently accepting the thousand Dao crystal and agreeing to his request was obviously the best choice.

However, this person did not say anything or express his attitude. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with his punishment and was still thinking about his Tang Family's position as a Guardian?

The Tang Family's second uncle couldn't help but look at the two guardians. It seemed that he had to let this young man recognize reality.

When the two consecrators saw his gaze, they immediately understood what he meant. Consecrator Gu smiled in a strange manner. "Young man, it's a good thing that your ambitions are higher than the heavens, but don't think that a toad wants to eat swan meat. With just you, do you think you have the qualifications to be on equal footing with us?"

"It's just that dog shit just happened to save the Tang Family's young master's life, and you want to enjoy the same salary as the two of us? What a fantasy!" The middle-aged woman, Reverend Xu, also attacked with disdain.

The two of them had received the support of the Tang Family all year round, so they naturally didn't want a third person to step in. This was because the resources that the Tang Family could obtain every year were limited. With one more person, their share might not change on the surface, but in reality, it would still be split up.

If Gu Chen was just a rogue cultivator without any background, he would have retreated in the face of difficulties.

The two of them thought so, and so did the Tang Family's second uncle. They were just waiting for the other party to obediently accept the Dao crystal and then scram out of the Tang Family.

However, Gu Chen's reaction still exceeded their expectations. He still had a calm expression, as if he did not hear the words of the two guardians, and said: "Give me money and let me leave the Tang Family. Is this the intention of the Tang Family's Patriarch?"

The Tang Family's second uncle was immediately enraged. Why was this person so stubborn, was he a fool?

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Exalted Gu was not interested in wasting words with Gu Chen. He raised his hand and was about to grab his shoulder to teach him a lesson and let him know the huge gap between the two of them.

Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. Exalted Gu's extended hand suddenly stopped in midair, and his body seemed to have stiffened.

"What are you doing?" Xu Gongfeng had a suspicious look on his face.

"I, I suddenly can't move!" There's something wrong with this brat! "Exalted Gu sucked in a breath of cold air, and looked at Gu Chen with bewildered eyes.

Was this kid playing tricks on him? What did he do?

"Are you kidding me?"

However, Xu Gongfeng's face was filled with disbelief. The young man in front of her did not even move, and she did not feel any energy fluctuations from any Dao techniques.

"I really can't move!"

Exalted Gu felt his mouth go dry. He felt as if his entire body was tied up by something strange, making it difficult for him to move. Even if he released the Dao Energy in his body, his strength would be like a stone sinking into the ocean, unable to be unleashed at all!

Seeing that he did not seem to be joking, Xu Gongfeng looked at Gu Chen warily, and subconsciously pulled away from him.

Exalted Gu was about to attack Chen Yi, but suddenly seemed to be possessed. This was clearly not a coincidence. This was the person in front of her playing tricks!

She was considered knowledgeable and had exceptional insight, but she had not discovered what tricks the other party had secretly played!

This person was not that simple!

"Do you need me to say it a third time? Is this the Tang Family Head's intention? "

Gu Chen ignored the two exalted and only looked at Second Uncle of the Tang Family.

Second Uncle of the Tang Family was also frightened by this strange scene, but he refused to back down on the surface. He braced himself and said, "Is it important whether or not it is the Family Head's intention? If the Family Head has acknowledged you as an exalted, why hasn't he received you yet? "

Gu Chen frowned. From the tone of Second Uncle of the Tang Family, it seemed like he had made the decision on his own.

"Then go and call the Tang Family Head over. I will personally ask him if the Tang Family intends to go back on their word!"

Gu Chen's gaze turned cold as he gave the order.

The Family Head was very busy every day, and was not someone you could meet just because you wanted to. Second Uncle of the Tang Family was about to reply when a voice suddenly came from outside the yard.

First set a small goal, such as one second. Remember: Booksellers' Residence
