Chapter 1240
The Three Gu Brothers
"I'm going to see Merle's wife before I decide when to leave." Summer said after a moment's thought.
"What is it? Are you afraid that Mei Er won't let you go? " Zhao Yuji seemed to be a little jealous.
Great demoness' wife, it's not like that, because this time, my seductive wife will also leave the capital, and so will my little girl Shuang. If that's the case, then there won't be any true experts in the capital, and if I meet any more powerful people, I'm afraid that you guys will be in trouble, but you and my golden haired wife aren't good enough for now, so I can't immediately raise your cultivations to the Aurous Core Stage. Xia Xia explained, "However, Mei Er's wife is different. Her cultivation is originally stronger than yours, plus her talent is very good, and she has cultivated a kind of mental cultivation method that can be completed quickly, so she should be able to improve very quickly. With her current cultivation, perhaps I can already use the heaven defying fifth needle for her."
"Although the other two cultivators are far away from the capital, they should not appear here for the time being, but it's still better to be prepared for the future if there are other unknown experts. If there are none of them, it's not good, and I have to be here for a few hours before my wife becomes an Aurous Core stage cultivator, this way, she can take care of you guys if anything happens."
"I know, then quickly go and find Mei Er." Even though Zhao Yuji was not angry at all, she was still happy after hearing Xia Chen's explanation. She even comforted Xia Xinyan, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about it. There aren't many cultivators after all, and they wouldn't all appear here by coincidence."
"Well, I know that's the case, but it's better to be safe." Xia Xia Zhi nodded, "In a while, when all of you go to Jianghai City and live with me and elder sister Shen Xian, you don't have to worry about anything."
"Alright, go find Mei Er first. When it's time for you to leave, tell us and I'll have Tian Tian and Sa Ma come with you." Zhao Yuji said gently.
"Alright, great demoness, I'll be leaving now." Summer didn't say anything more. She just lifted Zhao Yuji out of the water and kissed her on the lips. Then she put her back into the water and he disappeared in a flash.
In the Gu family's old courtyard, three young men were fighting in a row. The Gu family's genes were quite good, and the three young men looked pretty good: the tall and handsome Gu Mingjun, and the beautiful Gu Hanfeng, as well as the equally tall and handsome man. Although they looked the oldest, they were all the three brothers of the Gu family, Gu Hongwen.
In the past hundred years, although the Gu family had experienced ups and downs, it had still survived. To this day, just from this point alone, it could be considered as proof that the Gu family was not ordinary, after all, in the past hundred years, if a family wanted to survive, it would not be that easy, and the fact that the Gu family could do so was sufficient proof of the Gu family's abilities.
However, the Gu family had already reached the bottom about ten years ago. The parents of the three brothers of the Gu family had already passed away more than ten years ago, leaving behind only the three brothers. Gu Hongwen, who was still a minor at that time, had become the head of the family since then and shouldered the heavy responsibility of continuing the family.
For more than ten years, Gu Hongwen had kept a low profile and been cautious, so the name of the Gu family had never been heard in the capital. Under his management, although the Gu family was still a small, unremarkable family, if compared to an ordinary family, the Gu family could be considered as a rich family.
However, not long ago, when Gu Han Shuang had returned to the Gu family, and the three brothers of the Gu family had witnessed the extraordinary ability of this beautiful daoist nun who should be their great-aunt but looked to be about the same age as them, they had not wanted to keep a low profile. Since then, Gu Mingjun had started a public competition with the young, young, young, young, young, young, and Zhao XiaoZhuo.
Ten years ago, when Gu Hongwen was cleaning the ancient books left behind by the Gu family, he was able to find a martial arts manual. Since then, the three brothers of the Gu family had started to study this book together, and before Gu Han Shuang came back, they seemed to have learned a lot of things, but they seemed to always lack something, and were unable to turn the martial arts they had learned into true combat strength. However, after Gu Han Shuang had come back, she had used Gu Han Han's guidance and mastered the art of martial arts.
Gu Hanshuang's powerful ability made the three brothers of the Gu family want to make the family stronger. However, Gu Hanfeng and Gu Mingjun's plan of setting the world free had ended too early because of the arrival of summer. This made Gu Hongwen realize that although their martial arts skills were much stronger than ordinary people, they were still far from being as strong as they were in the summer.
Just as Gu Hongwen was considering whether or not to consider summer as an opponent, a dramatic change occurred. Until now, Gu Hongwen still couldn't figure out how this great-aunt had gotten involved with summer. A few days ago, this great-aunt had come back to tell them that she was already a maid in the summer and was going to be one for the summer.
In the past few days, when summer was in an uproar in Shu City, there was almost no one that didn't know of the beautiful nun next to him. Other people did not know the true identity of this beautiful nun, so the three brothers of the Gu family naturally knew very well that the so-called beautiful nun who could not be separated from the summer was their great-aunt. And at this time, they also had to accept the fact that their great-aunt had truly gotten together with the summer.
This way, Gu Hongwen naturally no longer thought about becoming enemies with Summer. Even their powerful great-aunt, Gu Hanshuang, had been taken care of by Summer, how could they be her match in summer? Of course, the most important reason was that they had no enmity with each other during the summer. Since they had the opportunity to be friends, why would they need to be enemies?
Right now, Yue Zhifeng had died, and the Yuan family had also died because of Yue Zhifeng, so it was obvious that the rankings of the various families in the capital would have to change once again. In Gu Hongwen's view, although the Gu family was not strong enough to join the four great families, if they were willing to help during the summer, there would definitely be a place for the Gu family among the four small families.
So, early in the morning, Gu Hong Wen called Gu Han Shuang. He had already received news that Gu Han Shuang and Summer had already returned to the capital, so he hoped that Gu Han Shuang could help the Gu family with a few words so that the Gu family could gain greater benefits from this division of power.
"Grandaunt, you're back." When they saw a daoist nun walk through the gate, the three brothers of the Gu family bowed together. However, when they stood up and saw Gu Hanshuang clearly, they couldn't help but be stunned.
In just a few short days, this great-aunt's change seemed to be a little too great.
"Grandaunt, you look much younger." After a while, Gu Hongwen finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said.
Gu Han Shuang did look a lot younger, to the point that Gu Hong Wen felt that this title was really weird. If one were to look at her looks, the current Gu Han Shuang was definitely younger than him.
Previously, he had always felt that although this great-aunt looked to be in her thirties, she gave off the impression of a hundred years old person, devoid of life or vitality, and looked as if she could die at any time. But now, although her expression was still cold, her entire person gave off a spirited and lively feeling, especially her eyes, which were bright and full of life, and between her brows, there was a certain charm that could be seen by ordinary women, and this was completely different from before.
"What did you say was urgent?" Gu Han Shuang asked directly.
"It's like this, we …" Gu Hongwen didn't hesitate and quickly revealed his thoughts.
After she finished listening, Gu Han Shuang furrowed her brows. With a displeased tone, she asked, "Is this what you call an urgent matter?"
"Grandaunt, this matter concerns the future of our Gu family, so I think it's still quite important." Gu Hongwen quickly explained.
"Do you really think there's any meaning in competing for the titles of the Four Major Clans?" Gu Han Shuang said faintly, "Right now, the Gu family only has the three of you, a big family, and the most basic of them all is to have a thriving population. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, it would be difficult to call you a big family, and if you really want to become a big family, then don't spend your days competing with others for power, get married and have kids as soon as possible, because reproducing a family is the right way."
The three Gu brothers were stunned. It was clear that Gu Hanshuang's answer was completely different from what they had imagined.
After a moment of silence, Gu Hongwen finally opened his mouth and asked: "Ancestor, if we don't have the ability to protect the clan, then even if each of us three brothers gave birth to eight children, we might not be able to protect them. The clan could collapse at any moment, just like the current Yuan family and the Li family's Sun family."
