Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Gu Zhuang's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out. Suddenly, he shouted angrily: "Gu Hongkuo!"

The fat man was frightened and trembled. His fat body was shaking constantly. He almost couldn't sit on the chair.

Gu Kan, who was sitting in front, looked back at him.

Gu Hongkuo swallowed his saliva, forced himself to calm down, stood up and clasped his fists: "Master."

Although his tone was steady, careful people could still hear a trace of trembling and fear in his voice, but he didn't point it out.

Gu Zhuang stared at him coldly: "When I forgave Gu Rui two days ago, what did you promise me? You said that if he committed the same crime again, he would be punished for both crimes, including your fault for not disciplining him strictly!"

Gu Hongkuo tilted his head, his heart settled a little, and said seriously: "I did say that. Many elders were there at the time and can testify, but I don't know why the head of the family mentioned this matter today?"

Gu Zhuang saw that he was trying to play dumb and try to get away with it, and he was even angrier in his heart, but he suppressed his anger and roared, and pointed at the white-clothed alchemist: "Since you don't admit it, then you confront Mr. Xu in public in the hall, and the truth will be clear at a glance."

Hearing this, the elders nodded secretly. Gu Zhuang is worthy of being the head of the Gu family. He can think of throwing the blame away in such a short time and let the trouble-making Xu Yongning solve this matter himself.

If Xu Yongning is not capable enough and can't make Gu Hongkuo confess, what else can he say?

But if Xu Yongning forced Gu Hongkuo to reveal his true intentions, then he, as the head of the family, would have to make the final decision. He would have to make amends, apologize, and punish. He would just give a few orders.

There is another most important reason. As the head of the family, Gu Zhuang cannot force his own people. Even if he has the right reasons, he will be slandered by villains as being afraid of Danxia Sect, wanting to curry favor with the powerful, and helping outsiders to deal with his own people.

Gu Zhuang knew this very well, so he cleverly let Xu Yongning be the bad guy to clear himself of responsibility.

Gu Hongkuo glanced at the white-clothed alchemist who was obviously much younger than him. He remained calm on the surface, but he began to panic in his heart.

Although this person is young, he is extremely talented. He can accept disciples on behalf of his master at this age, not just because of his high talent.

Gu Hongkuo glanced at Gu Kan, who was sitting peacefully, and turned to face Xu Yongning, saying in a steady tone: "Mr. Xu said that my Gu family's children went to the Danxia Sect's sales point and tried to incite the masses to cause trouble, but this is just your one-sided statement. Do you have any evidence?"

Xu Yongning's mouth curled slightly, thinking that if it was in the past, who would care about your evidence? If you dare to provoke my Danxia Sect, just come to settle the account directly.

If it weren't for your Gu family climbing up the high branch of the Yunwei Division, this young master would not bother to talk so much nonsense with you.

He smiled and said: "Evidence? It happens that we have witnesses."

Gu Hongkuo snorted coldly: "How do we know whether the so-called witness was bribed by you, Mr. Xu? How do we know whether this matter is fabricated by your Danxia Sect? Mr. Xu, I'm not looking for trouble, tell me yourself, is this the truth?"

In the past, even if Gu Hongkuo had ten courage, he would not dare to talk to the people of Danxia Sect like this.

But it was just as Xu Yongning said, the Gu family was very confident now, and the confidence came from Gu Xichao, who they complained about but didn't come to save them.

Facing Gu Hongkuo's almost rogue difficulties, Xu Yongning was neither annoyed nor angry: "No hurry, let's see who the witness I brought is."

After that, he turned and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Bring them in."

Hearing the word "bring", Gu Hongkuo's face changed immediately.

Not long after, several young men and women were brought into the hall by four Danxia sect members.

Gu Kan's face suddenly became gloomy.

Gu Hongkuo's legs began to tremble.

The head of the family, Gu Zhuang, suppressed his anger and looked stern, but not at Xu Yongning, but at Gu Hongkuo.

The young men and women who were escorted in were Gu Rui and his companions who had caused trouble at the Danxia Sect’s sales point not long ago. Not long after they left, they were stopped by the Danxia Sect’s people. Although they did not suffer any physical pain, they were escorted all the way to the Gu family in public, which was already a disgrace.

Xu Yongning walked to Gu Rui, patted his shoulder, looked around, and said with a smile: "I wonder which young master is this extraordinary brother?"

Gu Hongkuo, whose fat face turned the color of pig liver, was about to speak, but Gu Kan slammed the table first, and the palm power directly shattered the low table with teacups.

He stared at the alchemist in white and shouted angrily: "Xu Yongning, you are too arrogant. These children are the direct descendants of my Gu family. They have extraordinary status and represent the face of my Gu family. You treat them like this. Do you not take my Gu family seriously?"

Faced with the elders' scolding and the power released, Xu Yongning did not retreat at all. He spoke in a steady tone and neither humble nor arrogant: "Senior, you are too kind. Of course, we have to give face to the Gu family. My Danxia Sect also gave it. Otherwise, I would have come to ask for an explanation two days ago."

"It is the Gu family that does not take my Danxia Sect seriously. You keep coming to my door to cause trouble. Do you think my Danxia Sect is kind and can be bullied?"

Gu Kan was choked by his neither soft nor hard words, and then snorted: "Does the conflict between the younger generations need to be so big? As an alchemist of the Danxia Sect, Mr. Xu is already a big shot who accepts disciples on behalf of his master. He is so fussy."

Xu Yongning did not retreat even a step, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because they are young people that I did not kill them. The seniors of the Gu family are busy with their affairs and have no time to teach their children, so let me teach them for the seniors. How to be a human being."

"How dare you!" Gu Kan was furious, his momentum was like a volcano about to erupt, his eyes were fixed on Xu Yongning, as if he would take action at any time.

A man wearing alchemy clothes stood next to Xu Yongning, staring at Gu Kan with sharp eagle eyes.

"That's enough, Gu Kan. It's true that I, the Gu family, have failed in discipline. Mr. Xu did the right thing."

Gu Zhuang spoke to break the tit-for-tat situation. At this moment, a servant hurried in and reported: "Master, Miss Yue Ling of Qingyun Mountain is here to visit."

Why are the people from Qingyun Mountain here too?

Gu Zhuang frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Let her in."

Not long after, a tall woman wearing a goose-yellow fairy skirt walked into the main hall with a few people. She was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting it to be so lively, and then she saw Xu Yongning standing in front.

"Mr. Xu."

Yue Ling took the initiative to say hello. The two were outstanding figures from the two major forces. When young heroes held gatherings, everyone would be familiar with each other, so they knew each other.

She turned her beautiful eyes and glanced at Gu Rui and the other embarrassed young men and women, and immediately understood why Xu Yongning appeared here.

Gu Zhuang had a headache. He felt that this great beauty would not do anything good, but he still asked with a smile: "Miss Yue, why do you come to my Gu family?"

Yue Ling did not mince words at all, and went straight to the point: "The Gu family's children did not listen to the advice and harassed my female disciple of Qingyun Mountain several times. When they became angry, they wanted to use force. Do the Gu family masters want to give me an explanation for this matter?"

The corners of Gu Zhuang's eyes twitched twice, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "What's his name?"

Yue Ling turned his head, and immediately a delicate female disciple from Qingyun Mountain walked up and said, "I have investigated specifically. Their names are Gu Xing, Gu Ji, Gu Xun, and Gu Gaochao..."

The female disciple read out seven names one after another. Among the elders present, some had slightly changed expressions, while others had sneers on their faces, with different expressions.

Gu Zhuang was almost going crazy. Ever since Gu Xichao was confirmed to be the fiancée of Young Master Yunweisi, the family had become a little confused.

The clan members are blindly confident and have no idea where their confidence comes from. After so many years, they have caused countless troubles, large and small.

Rumble.

Just then, a dull thunder sounded.

Everyone looked towards the sky outside the main hall. A huge black shadow was cast, and a flying divine boat blocked the sun and landed slowly.
