"The young master of the Stone Clan is too much. Before coming here, I heard that he is different from ordinary Stone Clan people. I didn't expect the same."

"The suzerain regards him as a friend, but he abandons us like a shoe."

All the girls were chattering, still angrily discussing Shi Jian's attitude.

In their eyes, Gu Chen suffered great grievances, and with the girl's temperament, she tried hard to tell Shi Jian what was wrong.

"Brother Shi has always been a very gentle and elegant person with very special ideas. Don't misunderstand him."

Gu Chen sighed and took the initiative to explain to Shi Jian.

He still remembered that Shi Jian had helped him many times, and he still remembered his great dream. Such a kind and upright person would never be easily changed.

"Brother Gu, why are you still helping him?" Zhao Rou couldn't help but said, feeling that Gu Chen was too lenient towards his friends.

Gu Chen smiled wryly, the girls only saw Shi Jian's unkind side today, and this was their first impression, it might be difficult to change their minds.

"We still have to think about what to do next."

The ghost king helplessly stopped the discussion among the girls. Three women played a show, and there were eight women around Gu Chen. Let them continue to criticize Shi Jian, and I'm afraid it won't end until the day after tomorrow.

What they should consider now is whether to stay in West Desert and try to persuade them, or to leave for Beiyuan earlier.

As soon as the ghost king said this, everyone showed embarrassment, and finally they could only look at Gu Chen.

Seeing that it is impossible to form an alliance with the West Desert Stone Clan, perhaps it is a wise choice to leave early.

Gu Chen didn't respond for a while, and he didn't know what to do now.

"Overlord."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the ground.

"Who?"

Everyone's expressions changed, but none of them noticed that anyone was sneaking up!

I saw the yellow sand spinning and dancing in front of everyone, and soon turned into a stone man, it turned out to be Shi Zangfeng, the patriarch of the Stone Clan!

"Senior, why are you here?"

Gu Chen's face was full of surprise, as the head of the clan, even if he wanted to recall them, he didn't need to come here in person, right?

"Don't pay too much attention to what the child said in the hall earlier."

Shi Zangfeng looked at Gu Chen and sighed.

Seeing that he was kind and not aggressive at all, everyone looked at each other.

Especially the ghost king was very surprised, didn't the patriarch of the stone clan have a feud with Qinglin Shashen when he was young, why did he treat them with courtesy?

"Why, I have been polite to you, but you are not used to it?"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Shi Zangfeng snorted coldly.

The ghost king came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his mouth. "I heard that patriarch Shi had some quarrels with my senior Tianting Qinglin, so I thought you..."

"Thought that I would teach you a lesson so that you never come back?"

Shi Zangfeng teased, the ghost king was speechless.

"Qinglin and I did have some festivals when we were young, but we don't really dislike him. On the contrary, he is one of the few people I admire in my life."

Shi Zangfeng's eyes showed regret, "I heard that he died during Huangfu Wuji's crusade against the Heavenly Court. I even felt sorry for him. After all, he was an indomitable guy. Back then, he was only a mortal, and he dared to fight I challenged him. It turned out that I wanted to fight him again, but I didn't expect it to be separated forever."

Shi Zangfeng's words surprised everyone, they didn't expect the patriarch of the Shi clan to treat Qinglin Shashen like this.

Gu Chen's mind was not on this, looking at Shi Jian's father, he asked seriously. "Senior, can you tell me why Brother Shi seems to be a different person now?"

Shi Zangfeng took a deep look at him, "Some time ago, at the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of China, my son went to congratulate on behalf of our Shi clan. I hope that the two clans can live in peace and understand each other."

Gu Chen nodded, this kind of behavior is the Shi Jian he knows, and he has been working hard for the understanding and coexistence of the two races for a long time.

"However, when he arrived in the imperial capital, he successively visited many members of the Huangfu family, but he was frequently humiliated in terms of personality."

Shi Zangfeng's eyes turned cold when he said this, "The people of the Huangfu family don't regard our Shi clan as human beings at all, they only regard it as a lowly race! They played with my son many times back and forth, making him eat human food. You may I don’t know, for me, the Stone Clan, eating human food is like you humans are eating excrement!”

Although Shi Zangfeng's words are indecent, they are extremely vivid.

"My son is kind-hearted, and for the sake of the overall situation of the two clans, he forced himself to eat human food, humbly, but the Huangfu family always took pleasure in teasing him."

"At the end when he met Huangfuren, the third son of the Huangfu family, the other party bluntly said that I, the Shi clan, are lowly and unworthy to eat at the same table with him. My son's guards couldn't help it, and they fought with them."

"My son is in Luoyang, which is their territory. In the end, the guard who grew up with him died in Luoyang, and after suffering all the humiliation, he returned to West Desert disheartened!"

After Shi Zangfeng finished speaking, Gu Chen and the others fell silent.

The eight girls who were talking ill of Shi Jian just now were dumb for a while, and sympathized with Shi Jian's experience.

He didn't expect that he would be treated like this in Huangfu's house, no wonder he treats the human race like this now.

"Jian'er has returned to West Desert, and everyone in my family has learned about this, and they are all filled with righteous indignation. If I hadn't tried my best to stop him, I would even have wanted to send troops to Kyushu."

Shi Zangfeng was both angry and helpless. "My son has been kind since he was a child. His dream is that both the Human Race and the Stone Race can coexist peacefully, whether in Western Desert or Kyushu."

"In the past, I always felt that his ideas were too naive and unrealistic, but in fact, I supported him silently in my heart. He is a person with a strong will, but his heart was completely chilled in Luoyang. And once a person's heart is chilled, it is very difficult. It’s hard to recover.”

"So don't pay too much attention to his attitude towards you before. He never treats his friends like this on weekdays."

After Shi Zangfeng finished speaking, Gu Chen was completely silent.

He felt sorry for Shi Jian, and was also angry that there were scum like the Huangfu family in the human race.

Shi Jian was the most virtuous person he knew, yet he was so humiliated!

"Senior, what should I do to convince Brother Shi that not all human races are like that."

Gu Chen murmured.

Shi Zangfeng shook his head, "I don't know, since Jian'er came back, he has been taciturn. I don't even talk to him when I talk to him."

"I, a member of the Stone tribe, has a rough appearance, but my heart is actually very sensitive. Jian'er usually looks generous, but in fact he is the most traditional Stone tribe member, with a sensitive and fragile heart."

Gu Chen stopped talking, as if he could empathize with the sadness in his friend's heart at this moment.

Shi Zangfeng looked at Ghost King and the others again, "You want to form an alliance with my Stone Clan, but I actually have this intention in my heart. The situation is difficult, and our Stone Clan is relatively weak, and we can only survive if we stick together."

"However, the crux of the problem right now is not how much help you can bring to our race, but that a large part of our race has lost confidence in the human race."

"They are sensitive and feel discriminated against by the human race, so they are unwilling to form an alliance with the human race, and the crux of all this lies in my son. Therefore, only by solving my son's heart disease can the alliance you want come true possible."

Shi Zangfeng said the crux of the problem, and everyone looked at each other.

"The most difficult thing to cure in this world is probably heart disease!"

The ghost king said solemnly, he still needs heart medicine for his heart disease, but this time Shi Jian has been completely disappointed with the human race, how can they make him change his mind?
