How many years had it been?
Ever since Gu Xuande became the head of the Gu Family, no one had ever dared speak to him like that.
Qingli was his wife, and he really did spoil her. That was why she'd run her mouth off when they were alone. However, even she would be considerate and comfort Gu Xuande when he was in a bad mood.
The others didn't even need to be mentioned. Never mind glaring at him to anger him, they didn't even dare breathe loudly in his presence.
It had been a long time since Gu Xuande had seen someone who did not know etiquette, had no sense of propriety, and did not know when to back off.
"Zichen, how can you speak to the head like that? Apologize!"
Ye Rong shouted. This was the head of the Gu Family! With a single stomp of his foot, he could destroy all three races.
Even though Ye Zichen had grown up quickly, he couldn't compare to Gu Xuande at all.
In Ye Rong's memories, Ye Zichen had always been a well-mannered child. How come now ….
Could it be that he'd really become arrogant after holding a high position for so long?
No matter what, Ye Rong couldn't let Ye Zichen continue making mistakes like this. If she really angered Gu Xuande, nevermind Ye Zichen's current Upheaval Alliance, even ten of them would be nothing more than a snap of his fingers.
The more she thought about it, the more agitated Ye Rong became.
"Hurry up and apologize!"
Ye Rong walked up to Ye Zichen's back and smacked him hard. Before Ye Zichen could react, Gu Xuande laughed.
"It's fine. I heard your son has quite the status in the God Realm. For a young man to have accomplished so much at such a young age, it's inevitable that he'll pick up some bad habits. I won't lower myself to his level. "
"Then you're amazing!"
Ye Zichen grinned and gave him a thumbs-up. However, why did his tone sound like mockery?
Really, Gu Xuande couldn't hold back any longer!
He'd tried to keep his cool several times to avoid bickering with Ye Zichen, but the kid just kept provoking him. Strangely enough, if anyone else had provoked him like this, Gu Xuande wouldn't have cared.
No giant would care about an ant's provocation.
Gu Xuande could be considered a giant of this era. Others, even emperors, were still ants in his eyes. At most, they were just a bit bigger.
They weren't on the same level at all. Provoking him was nothing more than a joke.
However, Ye Zichen was an ant among ants to Gu Xuande. Gu Xuande was furious.
His entire body trembled uncontrollably, and he felt the urge to strangle Ye Zichen.
The Gu Xuande wanted to strangle him.
Gu Xuande was already merciful enough that he didn't directly kill Ye Zichen. How could he possibly respond to Ye Zichen's words?
After mocking him, Ye Zichen didn't look like he had any intention of continuing.
For a moment, the Gu Xuande the same.
"Little fellow, you're going a little too far. No matter what, Xuande is still your senior. Even if you're not a member of the ancient clan, he's still your senior with his realm. How can you talk to him like that? "
Of course, Qingli wasn't actually blaming Ye Zichen. Rather, it was more of a rebuke.
"Xuande," she said, "Ye Qing, she, she, she, she, she," She, she, ",", Ye, "Gu Qing...
"You're right, Senior. It's my fault for not respecting etiquette. Junior should always remember, even if Senior does not act like a Senior, Junior should still abide by the rules and etiquette. Just now, it was my fault. Please punish me. "
Ye Zichen bowed deeply, then looked up, his gaze sincere.
"But I really didn't mean to offend you. I was just curious as to why you'd summoned me here. You know that I work for the Upheaval Alliance.
The timing of the Third Era is a bit ambiguous. We don't know when the Outsiders will attack. "
"As the Lord of the Stars, I have the right and responsibility to ensure the safety of the Third Era. Naturally, I have a lot of internal affairs that require my personal attention. I also want to listen to your teachings as soon as possible so I can go back and deal with internal affairs. I'm running around for the greater good! "
What a sharp tongue.
Gu Xuande's expression darkened, but he snorted inwardly. How could he not understand what Ye Zichen was trying to say?
What he was trying to say was …. Don't touch me. I'm the Third Era's Emperor Star. My life is precious. Furthermore, his rudeness was only because he cared about the world. His emotions fluctuated a bit, and his words were a bit rash. If you make an enemy of me, that means you can't tolerate the world. That means you're going against the entire Third Era.
Become enemies.
Gu Xuande knew full well that Ye Zichen's words were directed at him.
As for why ….
When Ye Zichen said all this, his eyes were fixed on Gu Xuande!
Qingli didn't think as deeply as Gu Xuande. She'd only said that to lighten the mood and give her husband a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"We know you're busy, but we're here for something important as well."
"More important than the world?"
When Ye Zichen said that, Qingli wanted to nod.
In truth, she and Gu Xuande had called Ye Zichen over for news of the Outsiders. She didn't dare say she was more important than the world, but at the very least, she was doing it for the good of the world.
However ….
"Young fella, don't always talk about the people in the world. Those who truly care about the people in the world won't talk about it like you do every day. Instead, they'll do it with real actions," Gu Xuande said. "You know that too? You're amazing," said Ye Zichen in a tone that made Gu Xuande gnash his teeth in anger. However, before long, Ye Zichen's expression changed. "Then …. Why exactly did you call me here? I'm really busy!
！”
Not bad, kid!
You're so arrogant and despotic even after coming to the Ancients.
Busy?
If the Ancients wanted to see him, no matter who they were, even if they had important business on their hands, they'd have to drop everything and rush over to see him.
I have to teach this kid a lesson!
Gu Xuande thought viciously to himself. His anger had gotten the better of him, and he couldn't be bothered to follow through on the plan he'd discussed with Qingli.
"Since you're busy, I won't say anything more."
"That would be for the best," interrupted Ye Zichen.
Gu Xuande instantly felt his blood boil. He gnashed his teeth, his gaze deep.
"I wanted to ask you if you'd like to return to the Ancients. Do you want to take on the surname Gu?"
When Qingli heard that, she stared at Gu Xuande in shock. That wasn't what they'd discussed. However, she somewhat understood. Her husband was truly furious. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting like this.
Return to the Ancients?
Ye Rong was stunned as well. Then a hint of anticipation flashed through her eyes as she looked at Ye Zichen.
She'd always wanted Ye Zichen to join the Ancients. So long as he joined, he'd be a direct descendant of the Ancients. Then, he'd be able to rely on the Ancients' power to fend off their enemies.
Unfortunately, she'd never found a suitable opportunity to bring it up with Ye Zichen.
This time, Gu Xuande brought it up of his own accord. From his tone and tone, it seemed like he was offering an olive branch.
So long as Ye Zichen nodded, Ye Rong was sure he'd be able to smoothly join the Ancients. As for the conflict between Gu Xuande and Ye Zichen, she could ask Qingli indirectly to mediate. The most important thing right now was to agree to this.
Ye Rong trusted that Ye Zichen was an understanding person.
The Gu family was a colossal entity. If he could borrow their help …
