The heroine panicked because she refused to be the villain's bootlicker at the beginning!

After listening to the words of the Seventeenth Ancestor, Gu Yun smiled, nodded, and said:

"I understand. Even without such a test, I will definitely get the blood of the divine phoenix."

Gu Jiang laughed and said nothing more. At the same time, he turned to look at Gu Yan and Gu Changshan. Suddenly, his face froze and he said coldly:

"You two lost the important items in this family auction. You can be sentenced to death, but you cannot escape the punishment of life."

"From now on, the tribute for the next three years will be halved, and you will also have to do three family tasks for the family to make up for your mistakes."

Hearing this, Gu Yan and Gu Changsheng were helpless and aggrieved.

But they did not intend to refute at all.

They knew that this was the rule of the Gu family.

You have potential, and the family can tolerate even the most outrageous mistakes.

But you have no strength, even if it is not your fault, it is your fault.

Because weakness is the original sin.

The two stood up helplessly, bowed and said:

"Yes!"

Gu Jiang snorted coldly and said calmly:

"Okay, you can go back to Kyoto now. I will personally be in charge of the Jiangnan Auction this time."

"The family has already prepared a substitute for the Blood Luo Spirit Fruit."

The two nodded, and left in a hurry without wanting to stay any longer.

After they left, Gu Jiang looked at Gu Yun again, smiled amiably and said:

"Your problem has been solved, so it's time for me to leave."

"You kid, take care of yourself."

Gu Yun said quickly:

"Old Ancestor, you are the elder after all. Since you are here, there is no point in asking you to stay outside. Why don't you stay here with me? I will definitely treat you well."

"Also, didn't you just say that there are seven other young people from the same clan participating in this family test? Why not invite them all to come, so that I can take this opportunity to get to know and communicate with the young talents of the same generation in the family."

Gu Jiang laughed, looked at Gu Yun with a playful look, and said:

"How about catching all the young people who participated in the family test and killing them all?"

"This way you will have a better chance of winning in the end?"

"I am not stupid, old man. If you want to suppress them, go find them yourself."

After saying that, Gu Jiang left with a smile.

Gu Yun also smiled helplessly. Was he so obvious?

What was he thinking was actually seen through by this old guy at a glance.

However, from the words of the Seventeenth Ancestor just now, Gu Yun also got an important message.

The family does not oppose competition and suppression among the same generation of the family.

Isn't this completely a Gu-raising style of training the younger generation?

However, it is precisely with this almost inhumane method that the Gu family has stood for thousands of years, and every generation has a top powerhouse.

After Gu Jiang left, Gu Yun immediately contacted Bingyu

"Investigate immediately who are the young people who came to Jiangnan Base from the Gu family in Kyoto"

"Where are these people now?"

"I want to monitor these people's every move in real time."

Bingyu said without hesitation:

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Longteng Auction would begin.

Due to the previous promotion and publicity, this auction was unprecedentedly lively.

Countless powerful people, forces, and families were attracted to the Jiangnan base.

Even many free markets, small auctions, and various trading markets also appeared.

The entire Jiangnan base was caught in a carnival of buying and selling.

Jiangnan Longxing Lane.

This place was originally a paradise for free trading markets.

Many shady, illicit, or strange things were traded here.

Because of this Longteng auction, this place is more lively than ever.

When Gu Yun appeared here with a few girls, the place was already crowded.

Yan Linglong took Gu Yun's wrist and said with a smile:

"Mr. Gu, why are you so interested today that you actually brought us shopping?"

Gu Yun smiled calmly and said casually:

"I just suddenly felt like taking a walk, and I heard that Longxing Lane has produced a lot of good stuff in recent days, so I also want to try my luck."

Longxing Lane has become famous in the entire Jiangnan base in recent days.

Not only have two or three eighth-level spiritual objects been produced one after another, but recently a ninth-level spiritual sword has even been produced.

There are even rumors that there are saint-level good things here.

For a time, more people came here.

However, the reason why Gu Yun came here today was not just for fun.

It was for one person.

Gu Lingfeng, one of the seven people from the Gu family in Kyoto.

According to the records of the original work in his memory, this Gu Lingfeng is also one of the protagonists.

He was originally an illegitimate child of the Gu family. Although he lived in the Gu family since he was a child, he had always been bullied.

But three years ago, he suddenly awakened to the martial arts. His talent and comprehension suddenly improved. He could learn any martial arts at a glance, and he could also comprehend new skills that were far superior to the original ones.

Since then, he has completely risen and counterattacked, from obscurity to the leader of the younger generation of the Gu family.

If Gu Yun returns to Kyoto in the future, he cannot ignore this man.

Either win him over in advance and build a good relationship with him.

Or get rid of him in advance to avoid future troubles.

Gu Yun had already found out that Gu Lingfeng might be in this place, so he agreed to come here for a stroll with a few girls.

While Gu Yun and others were wandering around, someone noticed Gu Yun and his group.

"Brother, look, those sisters are so beautiful"

"Besides, the older brother next to them is also very handsome."

Not far away, a girl of seventeen or eighteen looked at Gu Yun and others and said in surprise.

In her impression, Jiangnan was a small place that could not compare to Kyoto.

Unexpectedly, she had just been here for a few days and met so many handsome men and beautiful women, as well as many powerful people.

With so many young talents, even if they were placed in Kyoto, they would not be inferior at all.

Hearing her words, the cold-faced young man next to her also subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by her sister.

Then, he immediately saw Gu Yun and others.

He couldn't help but frowned and sneered and said:

"I don't know which rich kid has a bunch of beautiful girls around him. I can tell from looking at those girls that they were forced by him."

"Otherwise, how could she be so respectful to him?"

The girl looked at the young man with a puzzled look on her face and said:

"Brother Lingfeng, how do you know that they were forced? Maybe they are just ordinary friends."

"Don’t you have many beautiful sisters as friends?"

Gu Lingfeng snorted coldly and said proudly:

"That's naturally different."

"Yaer, you are still too young to see the helplessness and sadness in the eyes of those girls."

"If we can help them, we will help them later. Maybe we can help them get rid of that man's clutches and stop suffering."

Gu Yaer didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only nod blankly.

But she couldn't help but mutter:

"But I don’t think that handsome guy is a bad guy!"
