Chapter 410: Chapter 83 Family Head (Long Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets)_4

"But what if the Gu family can’t unite peacefully?"

Gu Nanfeng said calmly, "Either we split into two halves, drifting further apart forever, or we unify by force, fighting a battle to eliminate future troubles once and for all."

"That’s typical North Continent Military Department thinking."

The old man said indifferently, "Did you learn that from Rust Bone? You should understand that sometimes having a bigger fist is useless..."

Gu Nanfeng immediately responded, "Think about your nephew."

The old man indeed fell silent.

"There are always exceptions," Gu Qilin slowly said, "If your fist could be as big as his, then there’s no need for this meal today. When you return to Changye from the North Continent, the new faction leaders will kneel in the snow and lick your shoes, wagging their tails like dogs to please you."

Gu Shen choked a bit halfway through eating, not expecting the old man’s metaphor to be so unconventional.

"..."

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a second as well, then said slowly, "My fist may not be as hard as Lord Divine’s, but it can still pack a punch."

"On the battlefield, as long as you’re strong enough, you’re an undisputed warrior. You can kill one person, ten people, a hundred people," the old man said, lighting a cigarette and saying quietly, "But Snow Forbidden City is not a battlefield. There are millions here, and the five families have their own rules. Before you become Gu Changzhi, you cannot break these rules."

"The one in Qingzhong probably won’t wake up."

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath and revealed the biggest reason, saying, "The ’Angel Envoy War’ that broke out earlier in Dadu District wasn’t because Mr. Gu Changzhi selected his own envoy. That token emblem, I obtained it from West Continent Light City."

There are no secrets within Changye City.

There is Wind Eye above and Earth Worm below.

But this news... still caught the old man off guard.

The old man frowned, staring at his grandnephew. Only now did he realize that eight years could really change a person so much... Before leaving Changye, this child did everything within the bounds of the game.

And the first move upon returning home was an "outside move."

Gu Nanfeng must have concealed this from everyone inside and outside the Gu family... Perhaps only the Tomb Guardian knew.

Gu Shen’s expression was somewhat complex.

Even though he knew everything... But, should he be listening to this?

"How did you contact ’Light City’?" The old man asked seriously, "Don’t tell me Rust Bone introduced you... The Divine Throne of Light City might meet you for this reason, but would never lend you such an important thing as the token emblem. It certainly wouldn’t give divine power for free, to make an envoy, just to cover for East Continent."

"Don’t forget, I stayed in North Continent for eight years... During those eight years, the Gu family never helped me."

Gu Nanfeng said slowly, "I must have my own secrets."

"Oh... that’s really a huge secret..."

Hearing this, the old man smiled in relief.

Gu Nanfeng continued to ask, "With the defeat of the Wine God’s Divine Throne, East Continent seems peaceful... But how long can this peace last? Do you think the ’new faction’ would be willing to compromise forever? Once they discover the truth about Qingzhong, what will happen? You want peace... Can Changye really remain peaceful forever?"

One question after another.

Each question struck at the soul.

Only unfortunately, the old man’s expression did not waver much.

"It seems you were fully prepared."

Gu Qilin said lightly, "So... just state your thoughts directly."

Gu Nanfeng stared at the old man and said word by word, "If Lord Divine cannot awaken, then I want to become the family head of the Gu family. Formally, in the true sense of... family head."

From anyone else, this would be an overwhelmingly ambitious statement.

But coming from Gu Nanfeng.

It felt so... fitting.

He should have said these words.

Because he was meant to be... the family head of the Gu family.
