Chapter 118 The Reason For Being Expelled From The Hong Family Is All Fate.
"Mr. Gu doesn't know something."
When Gu Cheng asked, Hong Tianya sighed and took a sip of wine.
"Since Mr. Gu has come to Ming'an Town, he must have heard about it."
"Thirty years ago, our town, Ming'an, was attacked by a wave of monsters from nearby mountains."
"Back then, Hong Lian's parents stepped forward to fight against those powerful Monsters to protect our Hong family during the crisis."
"Although they successfully resisted the beast tide in the end, the two of them suffered serious damage to their dantian and suffered hidden injuries on their bodies."
"Although our Hong family has tried our best to treat them and found various herbal medicines, we have not found a radical cure."
"Finally, before Hong Lian could understand anything, the couple's old injuries broke out and their Dantian was shattered. They had no choice but to pass away, leaving Hong Lian alone in the world."
"It can be said that Hong Lian's life experience is quite tragic."
Speaking of this, Hong Tianya took another sip of wine, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.
Hearing this, Gu Cheng nodded silently.
indeed.
If this kind of start was for ordinary people, they would probably give up on themselves.
"Not long after she came into the world, she lost her support in the world and became lonely."
"But fortunately, with my grandfather here, she still has someone to rely on in the Hong family."
"What happened next?" Gu Cheng asked.
"Then something happened that caused Hong Lian to be expelled from the Hong family."
Expelled from the Hong family?
Hearing this, a picture immediately appeared in Gu Cheng's mind: Do not bully young girls into poverty for thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
However, thinking of Hong Lian's character, Gu Cheng felt that she should not have been able to say harsh words at that time.
I'm afraid I didn't walk away sniffling and crying.
"I don't know what the situation was at that time."
"Master Hong, can you tell me in detail?"
Gu Cheng asked quietly.
Hearing this, Hong Tianya pondered for a moment.
"Actually, it's not a particularly secretive thing..."
Having said this, he paused and glanced at Gu Cheng.
"Every member of the Hong family will receive some elixirs every month."
"These pills are for them to assist in their cultivation."
"For tribesmen with excellent talents, we will give out more."
"Although some people get more and some get less, they have always been in peace."
"Until one day, a clan member claimed that her elixir had been stolen by Hong Lian."
"After investigation, the stolen elixir was indeed found at Hong Lian's residence."
Hearing this, Gu Cheng became enlightened.
Hong Lian's parents passed away a long time ago, and she was helpless in the Hong family. With something like this happening, she naturally couldn't stay in the Hong family any longer.
However, based on Gu Cheng's knowledge of her, Gu Cheng does not think that Hong Lian did this.
Hong Lian has a simple heart and a soft personality, and would never do such a despicable and dirty thing.
There should be something hidden in this.
As for what the secret is, he still doesn't know.
"The member of the Hong family who claimed that the elixir was stolen has a high status in the Hong family. She is the daughter of the second elder."
"At that time, I was not the head of the family, but also just an elder. Therefore, I could not save Hong Lian due to my status and right to speak."
Hong Tianya explained.
"But fortunately, I once had an old relationship with a member of the Gu family."
"So she was recommended to Heavenly Sword Gu Family."
"Under his arrangement, the child Hong Lian was able to enter the Gu family's core Sanmai as a maid."
"You won't be left outside."
"Unexpectedly, by chance, Hong Lian was able to get acquainted with Mr. Gu."
Hong Tianya stroked his white beard: "Maybe this is the so-called fate!"
Hearing this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
Well, there is indeed a bit of fate.
However, Hong Lian can be accepted as his maid.
The most important thing is.
The two purple fortunes of Natural Cauldron and Prosperity on her body are too conspicuous.
And his appearance is also very good.
This made Gu Cheng love talents.
If it were an ordinary maid, Gu Cheng might not even bother to look at her again.
"Speak of it."
"The elder of the Gu family with whom I have an old relationship is named Gu Qing. I wonder if Young Master Gu knows him."
Hong Tianya thought of something and added.
Gu Qing?
Gu Cheng felt vaguely familiar when he heard the clan elder's name.
I thought about it carefully.
Then came a sudden realization.
The clan elder who previously guarded the Gu family's martial arts palace and had no interest in family strife seemed to be named Gu Qing.
Speaking of which, the magical sword named Shuiyun that he had been using some time ago was given to him by an elder from the Gu Qing clan.
"In this case, it seems that our Hong family is indeed destined to Mr. Gu."
After listening to Gu Cheng's talk about Gu Qingxiang's gift of the magic sword.
Hong Tianya suddenly felt that Gu Cheng's appearance here must be due to God's help.
"alright."
"Master Hong, it's getting late."
"I think we might as well stop here today."
Gu Cheng suggested.
At this time, almost an hour had passed since we enjoyed this table of wine and food.
After talking about Gu Qing, the head of the Hong family turned on chatty mode.
Even the past when he and Gu Qing went to Jiaofangsi without paying him were revealed.
Gu Cheng was afraid that he would keep nagging like this.
You'll hear things you shouldn't hear.
As a result, the image of Gu Qing clan elders in his heart collapsed.
Hearing Gu Cheng's suggestion, Hong Tianya was stunned for a moment and said with some reluctance:
"Several elders of the Lin family are dead, and the huge stone weighing on the Hong family has finally dissipated."
"I was so excited that I unknowingly said so much. I was too abrupt."
"It seems that it is indeed getting late now. Mr. Gu, have a good rest at night."
"If you need anything, please send someone to inform me."
"I will take my leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Tianya stood up and left.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and watched Hong Tianya leave.
…
inside the room.
Gu Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed.
He touched the storage ring with his fingers and took out a spiritual fruit that exuded a magical aura.
The spirit fruit is purple in color, oval in shape, crystal clear, and exudes a dense glow.
If you feel it carefully, you can find that it exudes wonderful fluctuations.
It contains terrifying life force.
"Creation Marrow Cleansing Fruit!"
Gu Cheng looked at the spiritual fruit in his hand, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
These precious things were obtained through the information left by Ziwei Xingjun in the Secret Realm.
In order to obtain the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, he also killed the Saint Child on the spot who came to snatch it.
It can be said that a lot of thought was spent.
Create Marrow Cleansing Fruit as the spiritual fruit of Heavenly Rank.
Taking it can improve qualifications, strengthen Root Bone, and increase the probability of breaking through the realm.
It can be said that even the most talented people from major sects are extremely interested in this thing.
After all, in public perception, qualifications and Root Bone are things formed by Innate, and there is almost no possibility of improvement.
And the creation of Marrow Cleansing Fruit is a rare thing that defies nature.
The emergence of every creation Marrow Cleansing Fruit can cause shock to almost all forces.
After returning to the Gu family from Secret Realm, Gu Cheng wanted to take this medicine immediately.
But who knew that Sword Intent, as the highest level of Sword Dao, is also the strongest attack method.
It’s really unfathomable.
Even if he has Azure Lotus Sword Heart, he cannot fully master the prototype of Sword Intent in just a few days.
Therefore, during this period of time, he has been condensing his Sword Intent.
It was not until today that he felt that the prototype of Sword Intent in his body had gradually stabilized and could be used for his own purposes.
“Now it’s finally time to take the Marrow Cleansing Fruit.”
"It's better to use something like this to improve your qualifications as early as possible."
Gu Cheng stared at the Marrow Cleansing Fruit in his hand and whispered to himself.
Then without hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the entire Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
