Chapter 301

"Mother, there is something I want to ask you."

The mother and son talked for a long time. Gu Chen's expression suddenly became nervous and serious.

"You want to ask about the Shen family?"

Shen Yu Shu seemed to know Gu Chen's thoughts and said.

Gu Chen nodded. "I've learned something from a friend. It's said that when my father disappeared three years ago, Huangfu Wuji's fourth son, Huangfu De, went to the Eastern Wilderness to hunt him down. The Shen family is involved in this matter."

"Father's whereabouts are still unknown. I want to know what the Shen family has to do with his disappearance, and what is their attitude towards the Huangfu family?"

When he chatted with Ji Lanchu, Gu Chen roughly deduced what happened three years ago and understood the relationship between him and the Shen family. However, he was not sure if the Shen family was a friend or foe.

Mother was living in the Shen family now. If the Shen family was not trustworthy, then he had to take her away no matter what.

"I didn't expect you to investigate this matter to this extent. Even if you didn't say it, I would have told you."

Shen Yu Shu sighed. "I know you have never seen your grandfather since you were young and know nothing about the Shen family. It is hard to avoid speculating about them. But you have to believe mother, the Shen family is not bad. "

"Back then, mother disregarded your grandfather's opposition and insisted on marrying your father. After that, I had no contact with my mother's family. But blood ties are still connected. Your grandfather and your uncle actually still care about me. "

"Three years ago, Huangfu De led a large group to the East Barren in an attempt to capture your father who had awakened the Tyrant Bone. The Shen family received the news and went to mediate, wanting to keep your father alive."

When Gu Chen heard this, his brows unconsciously relaxed.

He was most afraid that the Shen family was in cahoots with the Huangfu family. If that was the case, he would definitely fall into a difficult situation in the future. But from what his mother said, they were not on the same side.

"Will the Huangfu family listen to the Shen family?"

"If your grandfather doesn't want the Huangfu family to take away your father's Tyrannical Firmament Bone, the Huangfu family naturally won't listen to him given their power. However, it's not impossible for them to spare your father's life. After all, people who have their organs taken away might not necessarily die."

"That's too naive."

Gu Chen shook his head.

"This is the only thing the Shen Clan can do. If it wasn't for your maternal grandfather's virtue and prestige and the fact that a large number of officials in and out of the Imperial Court are disciples of the Confucian Sect, I'm afraid Huangfu Wuji wouldn't even give you face."

"Just like how the HuangFu family knows that Mother is staying in the Shen residence. It is only because they think that Mother is not a threat and keeping you here can attract you. In addition, there are matters in court that require your maternal grandfather's help, so Mother is safe and sound."

From his mother's words, Gu Chen finally understood the relationship between the Shen and HuangFu families.

Shen Xudong and Huangfu Wuji were both officials of the imperial court, and the Huangfu Clan needed the influence of the Confucian School, which was why the Shen Clan was safe.

This kind of relationship was actually very subtle. If one day, the Shen family was no longer of value, perhaps it would usher in a calamity of annihilation.

It was no wonder that even a brat like Shen Yanhong was worried about the safety of the Shen Family. Although the Shen Family seemed to be doing well, as the Huangfu Family rose to power, they were in grave danger.

And all of this was brought about by his family. If not for the Gu Family, they would not have fallen into such a situation.

They did not abandon his mother at the critical moment, and even wanted to keep his father alive. This Shen Family was already extremely benevolent.

Gu Chen's impression of the Shen Family improved a lot.

"Mother, what did Father experience three years ago? Did you ask Maternal Grandfather?"

Shen Yu Shu's face showed regret. "At that time, the Shen Family wanted to keep your father alive, but they were a step too late. When they arrived, your father's whereabouts were already unknown."

"And it is said that all the people that Huangfu De brought with him died, and only he returned with his face covered in dirt. The Shen Family wants to know what happened, but how could the HuangFu Family say it? But I firmly believe that your father is still alive, because at that time, Huangfu De obviously suffered a great loss, and when he returned, he flew into a rage. "

Shen Yu Shu's words coincided with Ji Lanchu's. Without more concrete information, Gu Chen felt regret.

So the only person who could possibly know his father's whereabouts was that Huangfu De.

A cold light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes.

"Chen 'er, since you've come to the Shen fu, do you want to recognize your maternal grandfather?"

Shen Yu Shu hesitated for a moment before asking.

Gu Chen shook his head without hesitation.

"Could it be that you blame your maternal grandfather in your heart?"

Shen Yu Shu asked.

"Naturally not. The Shen Family has a large group of people to take care of, and I understand their difficulties. It's just that my identity is too sensitive, and if the Shen Family knew about it, it would inevitably make things difficult for them. "

Gu Chen was very thoughtful. He was already very grateful that the Shen Family could take in his mother, and he and the HuangFu Family were destined to fight to the death. Since it was like this, in order not to implicate the Shen Family, it was best for them not to know who he was.

"That's also good. Unfortunately, your maternal grandfather has never seen you since you were young. If he knew that you were the genius who triggered the stars in daytime, he would definitely be very surprised. "

Shen Yu Shu smiled, her brows filled with pride for her son.

"Speaking of which, is it alright for you to knock your cousin unconscious? When others look for him later, it would not be good to alarm the entire Shen fu."

She changed the topic.

"Mother is still the most thoughtful."

Only now did Gu Chen notice that the sky was getting dark, and presumably, Shen Xudong was about to return to the fu.

He had just moved into the Shen fu today, and according to etiquette, Shen Xudong should be entertaining him. If he could not find him at that time, it would be even worse.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen's divine sense extended out and enveloped the entire Shen fu.

"It seems that I can't eat at Mother's place tonight."

Gu Chen said with some regret. Using his divine sense, he discovered that the Shen fu's kitchen was currently preparing for a grand feast, and it was clear that they were preparing to invite him as a guest tonight.

"What's so difficult about that? Xiao Qiu and the others will be back soon, so you can eat at Mother's place first. "

Chen Yu Shu rubbed her son's hair. "Tonight, Mother will cook your favorite dish. Before that, you should quickly settle down your cousin."

"Understood!"

Gu Chen was in a good mood to be able to eat the dishes that his mother personally made. He immediately woke Shen Yanhong up and cast an illusion technique on him while he was in a daze, letting him return to his own residence.

At the same time, under Gu Chen's intentional hypnosis, he forgot that he had come to his aunt's place.

Gu Chen felt a little sorry for this boy. After thinking about it, he stuffed a jade slip into his pocket.

It was a cultivation technique that was extremely effective for the cultivation of the fleshly body realm and could lay a solid foundation.

If this boy could endure hardships and indeed had talent in cultivation, when his cultivation was slightly successful, Gu Chen would teach him a better cultivation technique.

Xiao Qiu and the white ape returned very quickly. Mother carried the dishes and personally cooked a table full of sumptuous delicacies.

Gu Chen and the white ape ate heartily, eating like a tornado sweeping away the clouds. Xiao Qiu was dumbstruck while Shen Yu Shu chuckled.

When night fell and Shen Xudong returned, Gu Chen, who had spread out his divine sense, immediately sensed it.
