Supreme Lord of the Earth - C278

At this time, Gu Fengyun’s adopted son, the newly rich Gu Longyin said with a clear voice: “Baccalaureate, please wait! “I know that you and Great Grandfather are chess friends. Since Great Grandpa is not feeling well and cannot play chess, how about I play a match with you on your behalf another day?”

Hearing Gu Longyin mention the Old Man Gu and the opposite party, the Baccalaureate, who originally only wanted to leave quickly, finally lowered his feet. Raising his head, the small official who had been frustrated until now gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, “Life is like chess, who’s not in the game! Even though I, Nan Huai Lou, am just a small fry, I am not ashamed to fight with you, who do not respect your elders! ”

“The Old Master has told me before that the Gu Clan Disciple does not join the officials, now you all should try to rope in court officials and select officials to buy titles. Please forgive me for not agreeing with you!”

Baccalaureate vented all the anger in his heart in one breath. It could be said that he was extremely bold, and was shocked to the core.

No one would have thought that this usually weak and insignificant official would dare to oppose Gu Fengyun and his son in public at a time like this. His courage was worthy of praise.

Gu Fengyun’s expression changed, but just as he was about to become angry, he was held down by his adopted son Gu Longyin. The latter maintained his smile, politely bowed to Baccalaureate and said: “Baccalaureate is indeed famous, as expected of my great grandfather’s best friend. Gu Longyin is truly impressed! ”

“However, your ideas are the same as my great-grandfather’s. They are indeed a little old! As an orthodox dynasty of the human race, my Great Halberd Court has confronted the demons at the border for many years. It is in the midst of many troubles and when the imperial government uses people, as the saying goes, one can cultivate martial arts and sell it to the imperial family! Gu Shengxian once said that there was no need to hide from family. You are also a bachelor of arts, do you not even know such superficial truths? ”

Gu Longyin’s words were said horizontally and clearly. First, he praised Baccalaureate and then publicly placed him together with Old Master, using the righteousness of the humans and the ways of the court’s servants to suppress him, and then smashed him into a pedant old man.

Gu Fengyun nodded his head repeatedly as he listened. The guests around him also felt that this person was reasonable, he was indeed extraordinary, not only was his martial arts powerful, his thinking was also quick and sharp. It was no wonder that even the Divine Empress favored him.

This person’s words were as sharp as knives. Not only did he hurt the Baccalaureate, he even secretly refuted Old Man Gu’s view.

The Baccalaureate’s face was filled with grief and indignation, but he could not refute this easily because the other party had already said everything. As an official of the Department, he naturally could not speak carelessly and could only knock out his front teeth.

He hated himself for thinking for the Old Master, for the Gu Clan, but these people were so greedy that they couldn’t see the danger. Forget it, he had already done his best for his old friend, let them be!

Baccalaureate was disheartened, he closed his eyes and did not fight to watch.

Seeing that the Baccalaureate had given up his resistance, Gu Longyin smiled, and said: “Although I, Gu Longyin am a Gu Clan Disciple, I should still follow my family rules, but what a pity, I have learnt it from my heart, and if it is not smooth, then it is clear. For the prosperity of my Great Halberd Empire, I cannot use it as an official, and have been loyal since ancient times, so I do not have a chance of doing so.

Gu Longyin’s words were flawless, it was obvious that he did not care about his family’s teachings, coveting for official positions, but in his words, he spoke for the nation and the people, thinking about the world. If such a person really became an official, he would definitely be a ruthless person.

Just then, a clear voice sounded from the entrance of Red Maple Palace: “May I ask Brother Gu, what is the first thing you do as a descendant?”

He did not expect that others would follow in the footsteps of the Baccalaureate and argue with Gu Longyin. In that moment, all the guests in the hall turned to look at the door.

Two people stood at the entrance to the Audience Hall, two young men that were filled with vigor.

One of them looked at Gu Longyin and Gu Fengyun with a smile. Facing all the powerful people around him, he remained calm and collected, and was not the least bit restrained.

The other person was tall and slender, like a divine being. His clothes were luxurious, and he wore an inappropriate bamboo hat that covered his face, causing him to be filled with boundless curiosity.

When Gu Fengyun saw these two, he felt that they looked familiar. He couldn’t recall clearly, but he was still on guard.

“Someone, come!”

Gu Fengyun’s face congealed, and was about to ask the guards to help him drive them away.

However, Gu Longyin still maintained his kind look, gently waving his hand, signalling the guards on both sides to not move.

Come to think of it, the guards of the Gu’s actually listened to Gu Longyin, more than they listened to their father, Gu Fengyun.

“In such a vast world, could it be that this is the land of a king, or that this is the shore of a country? Could it be that this is the kingdom of a king?” “As a descendant of a man, first of all, have a family, be it a civil servant or a martial practitioner, the first thing in your life is to report this to the imperial government and bring honor to your ancestors, to bring honor to your clan!”

Gu Longyin explained.

As this child spoke, his intentions were even clearer. All four of them felt admiration for his eloquence, and many people began to cheer.

At the entrance of the main hall, the smiling young man shook his head: “You’re wrong!”

The moment he said that, the crowd went into an uproar. Some people were even glaring at him.

The first thing in Gu Longyin’s life, was to serve the imperial government, pay respects to the officials, and say how many people’s thoughts were on this matter. If that was not right, then what was right?

The smiling young man said: “We should use the saint as our method to complete our moral personality. This is the best thing in the world, to be the first! You can’t transcend the mortal world. Even if you were to be conferred with an official, you are just an ordinary mortal. ”

The moment these words came out, those noble and influential disciples who didn’t study or use any skills started cursing on the spot.

“What kind of game are you talking about? You don’t know anything at all! ”

As for the learned scholars, including the Baccalaureate, they all fell into deep thought.

What this young man said was not wrong, but the truth of the Great Way, the scientific point of view put forward by the previous dynasty’s great scholar, Mr. Wang Yangming.

With sages as the goal, transcending the mortal world, whether it was a martial artist or a scholar, they would follow the heart, cultivate their virtue, and conform to the law of the heavens. Reaching true unity of knowledge was the true great realm.

At this moment, someone finally recognized the smiling young man. No wonder he looked so familiar.

“Doctor Meng! It’s the Doctor Meng! When did you get back? ”

“It really is the Doctor Meng! In the eyes of those who have been afflicted by the disaster in the prefectures, you are simply the birth of ten thousand Buddha! ”

“Doctor Meng is back? “Then who is the person next to him?”

For a time, many people started guessing.

Everyone in the Shanghai City knew that the Doctor Meng and Young Noble Gu Tian were close friends, but now that the Doctor Meng had appeared at Gu Fengyun’s feast, could it be that the person beside him was Gu Tian?

Gu Tian reached out his hand and slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing his young master’s appearance that was as divine as jade.

Riding a horse while leaning on a bridge, the whole building was covered in red armbands!

Back then, Sir Gu Tian was the most famous person in Shanghai City, but in the past half year he had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Some people were secretly guessing whether he had already been killed or not!

There were also people who said that for the sake of avoiding disaster, he had already escaped to an unknown location.

However, everyone knew that the heir to the Gu Clan, Young Master Gu Tian, was already the same as the Huang Hua from back then.

“Gu Tian! It’s you? Go, quickly go! ”

When the stunned Baccalaureate saw Gu Tian, his face immediately changed, and he rushed to protect Gu Tian.

The actions of this powerless old scholar had actually garnered the respect of many in the crowd.

The current Gu Fengyun father and son duo’s power were at its peak. To dare to protect Gu Tian in public right in front of their eyes, this old man’s character was not as weak as the rumors claimed.

Gu Tian supported Baccalaureate’s arm and said solemnly: “Thank you Sir, Gu Tian does not need to leave, you will be fine!”

“Gu Tian, it’s been a while. Where have you been hiding? As the eldest grandson of the Gu’s, you don’t have to work all day, you only know how to be friends with foxes and dogs, you don’t look like a child of the Gu’s at all! ”

Gu Fengyun started with a bunch of scolding, and spoke aggressively.

Gu Tian frowned, pointed to the Meng Kang beside him, and said coldly: “Uncle, the dog friend you’re referring to, is he? If you can be considered as a dog friend, then who do you think you are! ”

“You! How dare you! Unruly! Offended from the bottom! I want to ask the Old Master to remove your name from Gu Clan! ”

Gu Fengyun pretended to be flustered and exasperated, but in truth he had planted a stumbling block on the inside, preparing the ground for his impending actions.

Gu Tian shook his head, he looked at him indifferently and said: “No need to continue acting, if it was the Old Master who said those words to me, it would be better! You? What kind of plaything is that!? ”

Gu Tian had returned in such an unrestrained and forceful manner, it looked like he did not leave any leeway out. All of the noble sons were guessing, could it be that Gu Tian had gotten some strong support?

Or perhaps he obtained the support of the Divine Empress?

Otherwise, how could he be so stubborn!

Gu Fengyun still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Longyin.

“Cousin brother Gu Tian, hello! You must have some misunderstandings towards us, father and son. We’re all on the same side. I hope you can calm down. In front of so many relatives and friends, you cannot lose your identity as a relative of the Gu’s! ”

Gu Longyin’s words were soft but firm, neither hurried nor slow, and it seemed like he had a sense of propriety.

Gu Tian’s nose twitched violently, and he snorted: “Who’s your cousin? What kind of bastard are you! Who asked you to have the surname Gu? Did my great-grandfather nod? I don’t have the time to care about you.

Gu Tian still had the attitude of a popinjay, making others feel like they were seeing the young master Gu half a year ago.

Gu Longyin did not seem to be angry, he smiled indifferently and asked: “This must be the Doctor Meng that is renowned throughout the world! This humble one is Gu Longyin, and has long heard of the great name of Doctor Meng. If there is a chance, I will definitely drink and chat merrily with you, and I will inevitably need to ask for medical advice. ”

This Gu Longyin was neither servile nor overbearing, he had reason and integrity, and despite his young age, his shrewdness was deep, causing others to glance at him.
