Supreme Lord of the Earth - C279
Meng Kang shook his head, and said indifferently: “The paths are different, unscrupulous! You want to become a marquis, and I want to transcend mortality and become a saint. ”
So it turns out that Doctor Meng was also so talkative, that when they chatted and laughed, they kept people at a distance of a thousand miles. The way they talked and the sword images in their eyes, were not inferior in the slightest to Gu Longyin’s elegance.
“That is truly a pity! In the end, there are still many ordinary people like me in this world. There are too few Saints! Moreover, sages are not so easy to be. ”
Gu Longyin laughed.
“Knowing that you can’t do it is better than not doing it!”
Meng Kang said with a stern expression.
“Great!” Brother Meng is right! I know the reason you came here, Gu Tian was once the successor of the Gu Clan, he had disappeared for half a year without a reason, and now that the power of the family has been grasped by my father, he must not be convinced! It doesn’t matter, I, Gu Longyin, can give him a chance to make a comeback! ”
When Gu Longyin said this, the guests all listened attentively.
Gu Fengyun opened his eyes wide, the expression on his face was filled with bewilderment, no one knew what he was thinking.
“Ten days later, I will represent Gu’s to participate in the Heaven Arts Conference to compete with the Xu family and the Wu family. Every family will produce a work, and whoever succeeds the most will become the next Assistant Minister of Industry! Cousin brother Gu Tian, you can also attend! If you win, I will return everything to you. If you lose, please continue to disappear! “Don’t come back!”
“No!” “How can this be!?”
Upon hearing that it was a competition, Gu Fengyun was shocked, and quickly rejected.
Ten days later, the Heaven work competition was once again the latest major event that caused a sensation throughout the city.
Originally, the position of the Great Halberd faced Assistant Minister of Industry should not have been chosen by such a strange method. The main reason was that the Assistant Minister of Industry Lord Liu had died suddenly, and his deputy was not able to shoulder such a large responsibility.
And most importantly, the Gu’s, Xu, and Wu family were all very interested in the position of the Assistant Minister of Industry.
The Gu’s was a member of the Divine Empress’s clan, a tycoon in business, and the biggest arms merchant in the Great Halberd Court. The Xu family had a background of the Fourth Prince godly king, and it was said that the number one auction house in the Shang Jing had a deep relationship with them, making them rich and powerful;
The position of Assistant Minister of Industry, no matter who it belonged to, was equivalent to gaining control of all sorts of resources in the Great Halberd Dynasty other than royal resources. From minerals to military equipment, it could be said to be extremely profitable, and was one of the positions that the Great Halberd Dynasty had to fight for.
In addition, in the recent years, the Divine Empress had rarely cared about matters of the imperial court, and all the large and small matters of the imperial court were handed over to the six tribes to handle. This meant that the value of the Assistant Minister of Industry was even more different from that of a few years ago.
“To be honest, I, Gu Longyin, have high aspirations in the imperial court. As long as the authority in the Gu Clan can be transferred to the capable man, I do not have anything to say about it! If you, Gu Tian, have the ability to fight for the position of Assistant Minister of Industry, even if I give you back the position of Patriarch! ”
Gu Longyin’s words were like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples!
Especially Gu Fengyun’s face, which instantly became extremely unsightly!
“Father! After all, we are family. If you don’t want to manage the family business in a few years, won’t you have to find people to help you? As long as Cousin brother Gu Tian has the ability, it’s not really a big deal! At that time, we might even be able to see our brothers working together! ”
Gu Longyin laughed as he spoke, and looked straight at Gu Fengyun.
This great hero of the Gu’s who had roamed the world for half his life had, in an instant, gained an ancient aura, and the rare thing that had happened was to not utter a single word.
Gu Tian and Meng Kang looked at each other. They never thought that Gu Longyin was actually this kind of person, and that he could even influence Gu Fengyun.
Not to mention the so-called future he was describing, just looking at it now, this topic seemed to be too much.
Gu Tian shook his head, and said loudly: “I want to see Grandfather! If I don’t want to fight with you, then let’s talk! ”
Gu Longyin glanced at Gu Fengyun, and the latter replied him, “The Old Master is resting, and cannot see you!”
Gu Longyin laughed: “If you go back to the Gu’s like this, your reputation won’t make sense. How are you going to make people look at us father and son? As long as you win against the Heaven work competition, you can do whatever you want! ”
Gu Tian frowned, and looked at Meng Kang.
Gu Tian was not stupid, he obviously knew that he could not follow his opponent’s methods. There was most likely some hidden reason why Gu Longyin wanted him to participate, so he had to be careful.
Meng Kang thought for a while, then replied: “It’s fine to promise him!”
Gu Tian usually trusted Big Brother the most, so he straightened his back and said loudly: “Alright! I promise you! I will participate in the Heaven work competition! I will defeat all of you fair and square! ”
Gu Tian spoke out in front of everyone, and the four of them all started to discuss and whisper.
Gu Longyin looked to be very happy, he cupped his hands and said: “Good! It was a deal! Ten days later, I will be waiting for you! ”
This time, they had met with Gu Fengyun and his son, Gu Tian and Meng Kang did not speak anymore, and turned to leave.
Very quickly, news of Gu Tian returning to the Shanghai City to participate in the tournament spread without anyone noticing.
And at this time, Gu Tian and Meng Kang had also just finished reading the rules of the Heaven work competition, and couldn’t help but cry out!
It turned out that not just anyone could participate in the fourth session of Heaven work competition Great Halberd World, which was sponsored by the work department. Instead, they could only register as a team and had to pay a large amount of deposit to ensure that they had enough strength to participate.
The rules of the competition did not state that the winner would assume the position of Assistant Minister of Industry, but if the Assistant Minister of Industry was not on the winner’s side, his face would turn ugly.
Fortunately, Gu Tian had never thought of fighting for the Assistant Minister of Industry. He simply wanted to meet the Old Master and vent his anger along the way.
“Big Brother, why do you want me to agree to participate in this competition?! If they wanted to participate in the team competition, they had to have at least five members! I don’t have that much money to pay a large amount of deposit! ”
Gu Tian ignored the rules of the competition and muttered to himself.
Meng Kang laughed: Your Gu’s started out with a military industry, everyone knows about the entire Great Halberd Art, which one doesn’t! If you can’t defeat them at their strongest, there’s no point in any other aspect. Furthermore, this is the fastest way to convince your family! ”
“Didn’t you always say that you are a natural material and that the rest of you are mediocre? Now is the time to prove it to them! ”
Meng Kang laughed.
Gu Tian scratched his head anxiously, his face had a bitter smile: “A woman who cannot afford a meal! To participate in this type of competition, one had to have a lot of materials to support them and also need to have a team coordinate to complete the selected questions to the limit within a set amount of time. It’s not as simple as you think! ”
Meng Kang nodded his head, and said: “The materials are fine, there should still be a lot left in Great Void Fortress, I still have some stock here! It shouldn’t be a problem to help you finish the competition, right? ”
Gu Tian slapped his thigh and shouted: “Oh! Why didn’t I think of it! Last time when you took away the Dragon and Phoenix Pavillion’s warehouse, there should still be a lot of good stuff inside! ”
“I barely have enough materials, but where can I go to the team?”
Gu Tian was worried again.
Meng Kang said: “Shanghai City is so big, finding a few people should not be difficult, right?”
“Hm!” I’ll look for it! Let’s go now! ”
Gu Tian clenched his teeth and said.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the White Tiger Workshop and arrived at a magnificent door.
This mansion had nine steps. Stepping onto it, one would feel like climbing a mountain and paying their respects. The red lacquer door was decorated with a gold-plated beast head ring. It was luxurious and grand, and an extravagant feeling assaulted one’s nose.
“The eldest son of the Zhu Family of the White Tiger Workshop is a good friend of mine. His Zhu Family used to be in the blade and sword business, and is considered one of the big suppliers of our Gu’s. I have helped him a lot in the past, and that kid is very smart.
Gu Tian patiently explained as he walked up the stairs.
Meng Kang did not speak anymore, and kept him company.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Gu Tian strongly pulled the beast head sect ring on the door.
Soon, there was movement inside the room. A small window opened on the side of the door and the gatekeeper inside said with an expressionless face, “What is it?”
Gu Tian said: “I am Gu Tian, and I am here to pay my respects to your family’s Sir Zhu.
The gatekeeper made an “oh” sound, and the sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the door.
As they waited, Meng Kang and Gu Tian waited for more than an hour.
When the two of them started to get impatient, Gu Tian was about to knock on the door again, thinking that the gatekeeper had already forgotten about the arrival of the guests.
“My family’s young master said that he’s not here!”
The old gatekeeper coldly replied.
Hearing that, Gu Tian immediately became angry, what did she mean by him not being here?
Gu Tian was so angry that he kicked the Zhu Family’s gate hard, scaring the guard inside away.
“Go!” I, Gu Tian, am not just a friend! ”
Gu Tian’s face flushed red, he pulled Meng Kang and left.
After a while, they arrived at the Eastern Market. It was bustling with cars and bustling with activity.
Gu Tian dragged Meng Kang through the streets as they made many twists and turns.
Meng Kang was slightly more alert and discovered that this house did not look as simple as it looked. On the streets, in front of the houses’s doors and walls, there were all kinds of sentries, and they were all skilled.
This place was in a busy city, yet its security was so tight, which made people curious.
This time, Gu Tian did not knock on the door anymore, and gave Meng Kang a look. The two of them, one in front and one behind, jumped straight into the house.
Pow!
Pow!
The moment the two of them landed on the ground, several strong auras exploded from the surroundings and surrounded the area.
