Doutu Continent

Go to Gu's family to propose marriage.

In the deepest part of the palace house, a grey-haired old woman sat on the main seat, her whole body was billowing with ink, accompanied by the faint sound of a phoenix, her icy expression and stern aura made her seem very difficult to provoke.Especially with a scar on his face.

The injury cut from the eyebrow on the left cheek to the cheek, and left a scar on the eyelid. If it was any deeper, it would hurt the eye.But even though the eyes, which are important to the painter, survived, she was ruined by this long scar.

This scar seems to have been with this face for a long time, from youthful beauty to decay.But obviously there are countless ways to remove it easily, but the owner of this face has always kept such scars, even though the scars make her face a bit more fierce.

The old woman with a scar on her face is the ancestor of the Gong family, a rare female painter in the world, and one of the strongest standing at the top of the Doutu Continent.Although she is not the Patriarch of the Gong Family, she is the one and only person in the Gong Family, especially among her nephews and grandchildren, Gong Shuo's father, the Patriarch of the Gong Family, has not shown up for a year.

At this time, she was flipping through the letter submitted by Gong Shuo, and after listening to the news gathered during this period, she nodded and said: "Gong Shuo, you have done a good job. During your father's absence, you have managed the Gong family in an orderly manner." , even if your father doesn't care about anything in the future and entrusts the palace family to your hands, this deity can rest assured."

Hearing these words, the cold man in his early twenties, with a cold face, didn't even respond to the other party with a smile, just bent slightly.The long headband on his bun hangs over his ears. With his slight movements, it dances in the air like a cluster of flames. This is the only bright color on his body.

The ancestor of the Gong family squinted his eyes, as if stabbed by the bright color, closed the stack of documents, put the information about the painting alliance on the top layer, clasped it with his fingers, and tapped lightly on it.

"Huadi has been in prison for 20 years, and the deity has almost forgotten that there is such a person as Cui Shiyu. At this time, he suddenly left the prison. It must be because of Leader Lin, who was not sure about dealing with the person behind the scenes this time, and wanted to use him. It is a pity that he was imprisoned in it." Hundreds of abandoned disciples from five academies disappeared together with Cui Shiyu, forcing the leader of the Lin League to abdicate. Gong Shuo, what do you think of this matter?"

Gong Shuo said coldly: "Leader Lin is advancing by retreating. He is temporarily retiring because he wants to see if there are any forces with unruly intentions who will jump out while he is not around."

"anything else?"

There was no fluctuation in Gong Shuo's tone, and he didn't even have time to think, "These hundreds of abandoned disciples have all been carefully trained by the Fifth Academy. They are the reserve army selected by the behind-the-scenes forces. With them, their strength will definitely be even better. , and even set up a new painting academy. Instead of taking advantage of the black hands behind the scenes, it is better to let Cui Huazun get this power and discipline him. Leader Lin asked to abdicate at this time, so why not build momentum for Cui Huazun? Tell everyone in Doutu Mainland , Urge Shi Yu to come back, otherwise, me juniors, how can I pay attention to the old man who has not been active in the painting circle for 20 years?"

The old woman closed her eyes and pondered: "You have analyzed very well. But you are young after all, and you are not familiar with who Cui Shiyu is. He had all the secrets back then, but he didn't use the power around him for his own use. Anyone who intercedes for him, he is noble and proud. Therefore, it is unknown whether he took away the hundreds of abandoned disciples."

Gong Shuo said: "Old Ancestor, are you saying that President Lin transferred people away by himself, and let Cui Huazun take the blame? Is it possible for them to cooperate? Why did President Lin make such a big detour?"

"These hundreds of people come from various families. Due to the sophistication of the world, Leader Lin has to let people go if he doesn't want to. As long as he lets go, the situation will be out of his control. Just let everyone go to urge Shi Yu's important person, and he will draw the alliance. You can no longer be passive. As for cooperation—”

The old woman opened her eyes and said, "I haven't seen Cui Shiyu for 20 years, but I know that the arrogance in this person's bones will not change. However, Leader Lin has become more and more shameless over the years, and his stalking skills are higher than his cultivation base." It's fast, and this deity can't say for sure whether there are any shady transactions in it."

When the old woman said this, she said coldly: "If I were like him, I wouldn't be able to practice ruthless painting back then."

Gong Shuo raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes.

However, the old woman only expressed her feelings, and said coldly: "Over the years, President Lin has put too much thought into things other than his own cultivation, and there have been gains and losses. His strength is not in himself, but in his huge network. So even if he really succeeds in abdicating this time and no longer being the leader of the alliance, he should not be underestimated."

After the old woman finished speaking, she asked, "Have you gained anything from your trip to the Qingyuan?"

Gong Shuo took out a scroll from the painter's badge, and offered it with both hands: "Old Ancestor, this is a calligraphy by Mr. Mo Xuetao that I invited."

The old woman took the scroll, opened the painting to appreciate it, and commented: "Among the juniors, Mo Xuetao's painting has the most gorgeous colors. Ling Yan must like it when she sees it. You can give it to your sister."

Gong Shuo took back the painting, took back the badge, and prepared to hand it over to Gong Lingyan.

The Lingyan that the ancestor mentioned was his own sister, and she was also the most optimistic person among the juniors of the Gong family, and the expectation of the ancestor was far higher than him.Even if he has a higher realm and is more brilliant in the eyes of others, the future patriarch of the palace family and the descendant that the ancestor is optimistic about, the latter is more promising.

Gong Shuo's face was stern, and he was not at all shaken by his ancestor's preference for his younger sister.He said: "Old ancestor, I met Gu Qingzhou in Qingyun Painting Academy. Although he has lost his desire to paint, he has already become a painter. Does the original condition need to be changed?"

"Conditions remain the same, let's test the Gu family's attitude first." The old woman said indifferently.In her eyes, a mere painter is no different from a painter, they are all at the bottom of the way of painting.

"What does Gu Qingzhou look like?" she asked.

Gong Shuo replied without hesitation: "Slender and handsome, but sickly and pitiful, he is a rare and beautiful man in the world. If it is not for his lack of cultivation and reputation, he will be known to the world sooner or later. But in Qingyun Painting Academy, already He is a man of the hour, because the female heart-picker who took his heart had done something wrong with him before she was caught."

"The Gu family will always attract bees and butterflies." The old woman said with condensed eyes, "How does this Gu Qingzhou compare to Gu Youzhi in appearance?"

Gong Shuo was lucky enough to see a portrait of Gu Youzhi in his ancestor's residence.

He said: "The appearance is [-]% similar. Gu Qingzhou's cultivation base is too low, and he doesn't have the bearing of the person in the painting. However, although the facial features are still a little childish, they can already glimpse the future. Not to mention equal shares, each has its own merits."

"The Gu family really never disappoints people." The old woman sneered: "Lingyan likes all the beautiful things in this world. When he sees Gu Qingzhou, he should be satisfied with the arrangement of the deity. The Gu family all draw their hearts for Qinggen. The whole family is full of red spirits, wood makes fire, he takes care of the family, and he is born to be the test stone of my palace."

The old woman showed her strength in her sleeves, took out a greeting card, handed it to Gong Shuo, and said.

"This is your sister's horoscope. You prepare the bride price, go to the Gu family to propose marriage, and say that my palace family is willing to restore the old relationship with the Gu family and promote a happy marriage for the younger generation. As long as Gu Qingzhou enters my palace family and becomes the husband of your sister Gong Lingyan, become the husband of your sister Gong Lingyan. The son-in-law of my palace family, this deity is willing to personally restore his painting heart."
