CH 17

At this time, Gu manor was already swarmed by people.

As soon as the door of Gu manor was opened, a servant stuck out his head.

​​He was a little confused, “How can I help you?”

“Hurry!” Someone stepped forward and shoved the gift box in his hand into the servant’s hand.

Immediately afterwards, the man shouted excitedly!

“The Hu family presented two thousand year old polygonum multiflorum pills and five bottles of Xuehua pill. To congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family!”

This is a small family in this city, it had a true martial artist many generations before, but it already went downhill for quite a long time. Nowadays, they run a pharmacy.

There were people who refused to be left behind so they held out several land deeds. “The Zhao family presented three shops and one manor in the north of the city. To congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family!”

“The Kong family presented …. To congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family!”

“The Li family presented …. To congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family!”

“……”

To congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family!”

“Congratulations!”

“Huh?” A pile of things on the servant’s hands almost taller than his height.

At this time, Gu Yongning walked to the door of Gu manor, he listened to the voices, and his face showed disbelief.

“To congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family?”

“Ah, these?”

“Are you talking about … our Qing’an?

​​A man in front of the door saw Gu Yongning coming out and said, “Your family’s Miss Gu has a Jinyu rank. She is our pride!”

“That’s right, with Miss Gu from our Heihe, we really are honored.”

“Jinyu rank?” Gu Yongning was stunned and his mouth was wide open.

When did my daughter become a Jinyu rank?

No, this is not the time to think about that

Gu Yongning’s eyes flashed and he immediately went back to his senses.

Now that so many small families are taking the initiative to come forward, isn’t it the best time to win them over?

Gu Yongning smiled, “Thank you for coming and congratulating Our Qing’an. Please come in.”

Everyone took a seat, the candlelights were lit, and all servants rushed in.

In just a short time, the guests were already enjoying themselves.

At this time, a servant outside the door called out a name in panic, “Wei family has arrived!”

More than ten people swarmed in from the door, they all had a sturdy build, they stood upright, and with just a glance you could tell that they had a military background.

Hiss. Someone hissed.

“What is the Wei family doing here?”

“They should be here to congratulate the proud daughter of the Gu family too … right?” Said someone who wasn’t very sure.

“Bringing these many people to congratulate her?”

“Might not be the case. This morning the Xuefu Sect of the Wei Family destroyed two halls of the Chijiao Sect.” Someone shrank back and said sullenly.

There was motion in Gu Yongning’s heart, stepped forward, and said to the person who led the Wei family members.

“It’s quite late already, what brings the steward of the Wei family here?”

Gu Yongning was not afraid at all. Gu’s manor is the base of Gu’s family, not to mention that their number was only a few people. Even if it was ten times more, it would be a dead end.

Steward ​​Wei was in his late forties this year. Although his surname was also Wei, he was someone with the bloodline that was several generations outside the main line. However, he was skilled and thorough, so he actually climbed up from someone of an ordinary family to become the chief steward of the main family.

Steward Wei bowed slightly to Gu Yongning.

“Greetings Master Gu.”

“This morning, the Wei family members provoked the Gu family without permission, so I came here to apologize.”

“Hmph!” Gu Yongning snorted coldly.

Steward Wei smiled bitterly. He knew it was a bit ridiculous, but he couldn’t help it.

“After all, I’m not from the main bloodline, so it’s only natural that the dirty work would be given to me.” Steward Wei sighed in his heart.

He clapped his hands and bowed his head more respectfully.

“I also know that words are useless, but please take a look at Wei family’s sincerity.”

A man behind him took a step forward with a wooden box that wasn’t too big.

The crowd gathered around curiously.

However, when the wooden box was opened, except Gu Yongning and a few other people, the other people’s expressions changed. Some people with poor self-cultivation even took a big step back and exclaimed.

Inside that box, there was a human head with wide-opened eyes!

The man had apparently just died. Although he had been cleaned, a small stream of blood was still flowing down from the head fracture.

“It’s him!” Someone suppressed his fear and identified the person in the box.

“It’s Xuefu sect’s leader, Gao Tong!”

“Gao Tong was a capable member of the Wei family! They just killed him like that?”

Steward Wei’a expression remained unchanged, he raised his head and said, “Master Gu, the conflict between our family was caused by someone that insisted on doing his own way. In order to set an example, the Wei family already killed this man that harbored evil intentions.”

Gu Yongning grinned with the corner of his mouth, while his eyes looked calm.

He swayed his glass and said nothing.

When steward Wei saw this, he sighed in his heart and said, “Wei family misjudged people, so we hope to build friendship between our two families and congratulate the proud daughter of Gu family.”

He asked the attendants behind him to take out a shining token engraved with the word “Grain” and give it to Gu Yongning.

“This?! Is this the Grain token?” Someone exclaimed.

Longya Rice, a kind of spirit plant that originated from outer space, is very useful for cultivating martial arts. Its production is rare, and only a few prefectures and a place in the outer world occupied by Dacheng produce it.

In addition to providing the imperial family and ministers as part of their salaries, only a small number as rewards for meritorious officials will be given every year, which are valuable but not marketable. Without an exchange token, no amount of money can be used to get a grain of rice.

And the token that can be used to exchange this Longya Rice is the Grain token.

Steward Wei’s face showed a hint of pain.

This grain token was originally brought by the Wei family, and was intended to lay the foundation for the next generation of the Wei family. Unexpectedly, it had to be given to others.

But it can’t be helped. The Wei family has been the most popular since the decline of the Gu family. It’s such a coincidence that two just destroyed two halls of the Gu family this morning, and in the afternoon, Gu Qing’an was stated to have a Jinyu qualification.

What a coincidence.

After doing such a shameful thing, if the Wei family wants to continue to exist, shouldn’t they suffer quite a bit?

Gu Yongning smiled and put the grain token into his pocket. He patted steward Wei on the shoulder, “For our friendship, cheers!”

“Cheer!”

Steward Wei was very happy, “Fortunately, the two families didn’t really have to offend each other, otherwise maybe the Wei family would be destroyed.”

Dacheng’s aristocratic family will not attack the direct main family until one party feels that it has a great advantage. If they don’t attack the main family, it doesn’t count as offending.

That’s right, although the branch forces of the two families are fighting to the death, the main family of the Gu and Wei family is unscathed, then there is room for moderation.

There was no murderous intention throughout the party, but the wooden box that was closed on the side gradually exude blood.

At this moment, someone outside the door shouted excitedly, “Miss, you are back!”

Gu Qing’an wore white clothes and maintained her integrity. Under the cold moonlight, her face was very beautiful, which could make people’s hearts break.

Although she had just returned to the manor, the servant had told her that the families in the city had come to congratulate her.#pleasereadthischapteratwondernovels.com

“It’s Miss Gu!!”

Gu Qing’an casually nodded to everyone, greeted and bowed to Gu Yongning, then went back to her room.

“As expected of the proud daughter!”

“Ahhh! Miss Gu nodded at me!!!”

The crowd didn’t feel ignored, instead they felt quite excited.

Proud daughter with a Jinyu rank, it’s only natural to be this prideful.

Without this pride, how can she become a peerless person?
