Chapter 22 Let him break the precepts
Gu Wentong said solemnly, "You shouldn't tell this secret to anyone. I will forget about it, and I must not be so careless in the future."

Gu Mingchuan just smiled. He just said it casually, but it seemed that this seventh uncle took it seriously.

He poured a cup of tea and said, "Please."

Gu Wentong said, "Don't drink the tea. Come with me to see the clan leader. You injured the eldest son of the Li family. The clan leader needs to come forward to settle this matter."

After that, he added, "In the final analysis, the Li family is in the wrong. You didn't kill or cripple anyone, so I don't think the Li family will keep pestering you. But, you have completely offended the Li family, so you must be careful in the future."

As they talked, they went to the old house together to meet the clan leader Gu Yunze.

When he heard that Gu Mingchuan had broken through to the Gangyuan realm and injured the Li Manjin brothers who came to cause trouble, Gu Yunze crushed the teacup in his hand.

"Gang Yuan Realm?"

He was so shocked that he reached out to grab Gu Mingchuan's hand, but was shaken away by the recoil force.

Instead of being angry, he was delighted and praised, "What a pure and refined energy! It is worthy of being the Xuanshui True Skill which is famous for its thickness and long-lasting nature."

The more he looked at Gu Mingchuan, the more he liked him. He smiled from ear to ear, "You really know how to surprise me. Good, good, good!"

At this time, Gu Wentong reminded him in time, "I'm afraid the Li family will need you to show up."

Gu Yunze said, "Humph, the Li family's behavior is really chilling. Mingchuan, don't worry, I will definitely support you in this matter."

……

Li family.

When Li Mansong returned home carrying the unconscious Li Manjin, he immediately reported the matter to the head of the Li family.

"Master, you have to make the decision for them. The Gu family attacked so hard and hurt Jin'er so badly. It's obvious that they don't take our Li family seriously."

"Master, let me go and kill that little bastard."

"Homeowner..."

Li Jinghe slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up."

For a moment, no one around dared to speak anymore and fell silent.

"Mansong, tell me, what's going on?"

Under the stern gaze of the patriarch, Li Mansong did not dare to hide anything and stammered as he recounted what had happened.

After listening to this, Li Jinghe only said four words, "It's embarrassing."

If Li Manjin killed Gu Mingchuan, that would be fine.

Now, they were defeated by Gu Mingchuan and became a laughing stock. The Li family also lost its reputation.

Those who had just clamored to kill the Gu family no longer dared to speak.

Even the dumbest person knows that the Qinglong Gang, the current archenemy of the Li family, can barely be protected by the Li family alone, and can only compete with the Qinglong Gang by uniting the other four families.

The Gu family is insignificant, but the problem is, if this matter is not handled well, how will the Jiang family and the Fan family look at him?

If this incident caused the Jiang family and the Fan family to become alienated from them, causing the alliance of the four families to fall apart, the Qinglong Gang would probably laugh their heads off.

Li Jinghe was angry.

At this time, a servant came to report that the heads of the three families, Gu, Fan, and Jiang, came to visit together.

Came so fast!

Li Jinghe was startled, stood up and said, "Follow me to greet them."

……

After nightfall.

Li Jinghe looked gloomy, and anyone could see that he was in a bad mood.

During the day, that scoundrel Gu Yunze said he came to apologize, but every word he said was heart-breaking.

In front of the Jiang and Fan families, he had to apologize to Gu Yunze in person and declare that he would never cause trouble for Gu Mingchuan.

This time, it was really embarrassing. I lost both face and money.

He has been the head of the family for nearly ten years, and he has never been as embarrassed as he is today.

At this time, a confidant said, "Master, that Gu Mingchuan has advanced from the eighth level of True Qi to the Gang Yuan Realm in just one month. I'm afraid he will become a serious threat to us."

Li Jinghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent. It was this man who defeated the two most outstanding children of the Li family one after another, causing the Li family to lose face.

He said in a cold voice, "For a monk to advance so quickly, he must have made a very important vow. We just need to find a way to make him break his vow, and he will be useless. You pass on this matter and let the younger generation approach him."

The confidant said, "This may not be easy. Gu Mingchuan will definitely be wary of my Li family members."

Li Jinghe sneered, "Do you think that the Jiang and Fan families, as well as the Qinglong Gang, are not afraid of him? They will not allow him to continue to grow. As long as he does not return to the Gu family's back mountain to retreat, he will be a great threat to all the families."

"The master of the family is wise."

……

The next day, Gu Wentong came to Gu Mingchuan's house again and brought a message from the clan leader, saying that the Li family had been dealt with and asked him to practice with peace of mind.

Just after he sent Gu Wentong away, Gu Mingjie arrived with a group of people. They were all from Qianlongtang, and they all looked at him with admiration.

Thinking back to the last time Minglong performed martial arts, these people didn't quite regard him as one of their own.

He felt a little emotional.

After reaching the Gangyuan realm, it is indeed not on the same level as the Zhenqi realm.

Gu Mingjie said, "Third brother, we have reserved a table at Chunxianglou tonight to celebrate your success. You must come."

"Third brother, the girls at Chunxianglou admire you very much. This time, I heard that they are celebrating your success. Not only did they not charge any money, but the three most popular girls also promised to come over and play two songs in person."

"Yes, we all benefited from Third Brother's help."

……

Seeing them talking at once and looking at him with eager eyes, Gu Mingchuan waved his hand and said, "In this case, how can I disappoint the beauty's expectations? I must go tonight."

That night, after arriving at Chunxiang Tower, the three red girls came over in turn, some playing the pipa, some singing, and some dancing. It can be said that each of them had her own unique skills.

The three girls frequently flirted with Gu Mingchuan, and when they toasted him, they secretly tickled his palms with fiery eyes and bold movements.

The people around started to make a noise.

Gu Mingchuan was hugged left and right, and his hands were too busy to handle everything.

Suddenly, an angry voice sounded, "Where is Miss Zixiang? This young master has been waiting for half an hour."

Here comes the troublemaker.

Soon, someone recognized the other person and said, "It's Jiang Shihao."

The eldest son of the Jiang family's patriarch.

Trouble is coming.

Gu Mingchuan was not surprised. In a place like a brothel, it was normal to have fights due to jealousy.

Just then, someone beside Jiang Shihao whispered something in his ear. His eyes lit up and he said loudly, "So it's the brothers of the Gu family. This must be Brother Gu Mingchuan who defeated Li Manjin with one sword. Since Brother Gu is here, I won't disturb you. I'll treat you to a drink another day."

He just left like that.

That’s such a great honor.

Then, people kept coming to toast him.

Gu Mingchuan accepted all offers. His "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" had already broken through to the ninth level and he had a strong physique, so this little bit of wine was nothing to him.

After drinking enough, he carried the three girls into a room and slept with them.

……

After that day, Gu Mingchuan found that he had become the most popular person in Minglong City overnight. No matter where he went, people would respectfully call him "Second Young Master Gu".

Everyone was vying to get acquainted with him.

The most enthusiastic one was none other than Jiang Shihao, who was generous and treated him to fine wine from his collection, various delicacies, and even took him to see gambling houses, dog and cock fighting, and to go hunting together...

Gu Mingchuan had not enjoyed himself much since he traveled here. But after being with Jiang Shihao, he finally got to know how the noble families in this world enjoy their life.

That's life.

The two quickly became good friends and hung out together almost every day. They had so much fun that they didn't want to leave.
