Gu Qingchen was obviously not lying. Although he said no, his expression and actions told others the truth.
The grey-robed elder, Gu Jinyang, strode to Gu Qingchen and took out the hand that Gu Qingchen had hidden behind his back.
There were large bruises on the back of the hand and the forearm. Some parts were even greenish and purplish. It was obvious that he had been hit with great force.
"They … they bullied you again?" Gu Jinyang was furious and his tone was agitated.
Gu Qingchen nodded silently.
"Bastards! A bunch of ungrateful bastards! "Gu Jinyang cursed angrily. His body was shaking.
"Grandpa Jinyang, it's all my fault for not being able to break through to the Star Vortex Realm and bringing shame to the family. Don't be angry. I'll work hard and break through to the Star Vortex Realm before I turn 16. When I become the family head, no one will dare to bully me."
Gu Qingchen blamed himself when he saw that Gu Jinyang was trembling with anger.
Ye Xing rolled his eyes. This child was really naive.
Gu Jinyang grabbed Gu Qingchen's shoulder and shouted, "Who said you brought shame to the family? Listen, you didn't bring shame to the family. You're the son of Gu Cangnan. Only the family owes you. You don't owe the family anything! "
Gu Qingchen nodded slightly. "Oh …!"
Although it was a reply, there was confusion in his eyes.
He missed the days when his parents were still in the family. Since his parents disappeared, everything had changed. The Gu family was no longer the Gu family in his heart.
Other than Gu Jinyang who had always treated him well, everyone else had been polite to him in the first two years. Later, when the news of his parents' death spread, his status in the Gu Family plummeted, and he slowly became an existence that anyone could bully.
Although he was naive, he was not ignorant. He understood some things in his heart, but he was powerless to change them.
Even so, Gu Qingchen did not blame the heavens. Instead, he blamed himself. He did not understand why he was stuck at the ninth level of the Celestial Vortex Realm, unable to condense a Celestial Vortex in his Dantian, when other people had stepped into the Celestial Vortex Realm at the age of 15 or 16.
The Star Tempering Realm was only the foundation of martial arts. The Star Vortex Realm was the real beginning of martial arts. If he could not even enter the Star Vortex Realm, how could he be worthy of respect?
"I must step into the Star Vortex Realm, I must —!" Gu Qingchen shouted in his heart.
Seeing Gu Qing Chen's appearance, Gu Jinyang sighed. Although he was Venerable Nine Star, he couldn't interfere in the disputes between Gu Qing Chen and the younger generation of the Gu Clan.
Gu Jinyang was very clear that if he interfered, he would definitely attract even more powerful forces. It would be impossible for him to stay by Gu Qingchen's side. Gu Cangbei could spare Gu Qingchen's life, but he would definitely not care about Gu Jinyang's life.
Thus, Gu Jinyang could only silently stay by Gu Qingchen's side and take care of his daily life. He would guide him in his cultivation, and when Gu Qingchen went out to train, he would protect him.
However … in the Gu Clan, Gu Jinyang could not interfere in anything.
Gu Jinyang asked, "Who hit you this time?"
He narrowed his eyes, hiding a trace of murderous intent. Although he could not interfere, he had to remember who had hurt Gu Qing Chen.
What if …
What if one day, something happened to Gu Qingchen and he was completely abandoned by Gu Cangbei?
Then, even if he had to risk his life, Gu Jinyang would pay back this debt, and pay back double!
Gu Qingchen said softly, "It was Qingshan who ordered his subordinates to hit me. Qingshan asked them to hit my face, but I used my hands to block them, so my face was not injured … Grandpa Jinyang, this is a small injury. It will be fine soon after applying some medicine. I will go and boil some medicine for Big Brother first!"
Talking about this in front of Ye Xing, an outsider, clearly put Gu Qingchen in a difficult position. He was too embarrassed to stay in the room, so he left immediately after speaking.
Gu Jinyang took a deep breath and restrained his expression. He looked at Ye Xing and said, "I've made a fool of myself in front of Young Master Ye."
Ye Xing did not laugh. Instead, he said seriously, "This child is very talented. He did not break through to the Celestial Vortex Realm because someone did something to his dantian. If the problem is not solved, he will not be able to break through to the Celestial Vortex Realm even if he cultivates for the rest of his life."
Ye Xing had also checked Gu Qingchen's Heaven's Will earlier and discovered that his Heaven's Will Fire was green in color. There were a total of four flames. This was a Four-Star Green Life, which was enough for him to cultivate to the Four-Star Supremacy Realm.
With this kind of cultivation talent, it would not be strange for him to cultivate to the seventh level of the Celestial Vortex Realm at the age of 16. How could he not break through to the Celestial Vortex Realm?
Gu Jinyang was stunned. "Young Master Ye … you can see the problem with Qingchen?"
Ye Xing blinked to express his affirmation.
Although Gu Jinyang did not find anything wrong with Gu Qingchen, he had always been suspicious. Now that he heard Ye Xing say this, he looked at Ye Xing with a glimmer of hope.
Gu Jinyang quickly walked to the bedside and asked excitedly, "Young Master, do you know how to save him?"
Ye Xing blinked again and said, "There is an aura left behind by a Supremacy in Qingchen's dantian. As long as this aura is present, Qingchen will not be able to form a Celestial Vortex in his dantian. When I recover from my injuries, I can get rid of this aura."
Gu Jinyang was shocked. "An aura left behind by a Supremacy?"
Ye Xing said, "That's right. I don't know how many Supremacies Qingchen has interacted with. If there are not many, or if there is only one, then the answer is very clear."
Gu Jinyang suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "I know who it is. It is Supremacy Tang Bin from the Star Plucking Palace. When Young Master was 13 years old, Supremacy Tang Bin came to the Gu Clan. Gu Cangbei asked Supremacy Tang Bin to take Young Master as a disciple.
After that, Honorable Lord Tang Bin had examined the Young Master's aptitude. At that time, Honorable Lord Tang Bin had said that although the Young Master was blessed by the heavens, his physique was flawed, and it would be difficult for him to even break through to the Celestial Vortex Realm in this lifetime.
Since then, Young Master's position in the Gu Clan had plummeted, and he was slowly bullied by the younger generation of the Gu Clan. Especially Gu Cangbei's son, Gu Qingshan, who was the worst. My Young Master was bullied by him the most. "
Ye Xing said, "It seems that Gu Cangbei asking Tang Bin to take Qingchen as a disciple was just putting on a show with Tang Bin. As a high level Astral Reaching Realm Supremacy, Tang Bin cooperated with Gu Cangbei to put on a show. Are they close?"
Gu Jinyang said, "Gu Cangbei's wife, Tang Yu, is from the Tang Clan. She is Tang Bin's younger brother's daughter …!"
As he spoke, Gu Jinyang slapped his thigh and said, "I understand now … Six years ago, no wonder Tang Ming came to the Gu Clan and said that there was an opportunity to break through to the mid level Supremacy Realm in the Heavenly Flame Ancient Land. He invited the Family Head and Madam to the Heavenly Flame Ancient Land to train, but he never returned. This was definitely a conspiracy. The goal was to kill the Family Head and Madam so that Gu Cangbei could become the Family Head."
There was a lot of information in Gu Jinyang's words. Ye Xing asked, "Tang Ming … who is he?"
'The description of the power in the first two chapters was wrong. The Gu Clan was a two star power, not a four star power. The Star Plucking Palace was a three star power, not a five star power.
