Chapter 27: Gu Yuan Gets Angry
🕑 Added 2023-05-05 15:43:00 +0000 UTCGu Yuan looked at the elders who wanted to vent their anger on Ling Ying and sighed inwardly, "These guys."
However, while Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, he said, "The guard I arranged for Xun'er is a Dou Huang, and he is considered a bottom-level figure in the Gu Clan!"
"???"
"This..."
The elders, whether they had spoken or not, were completely dumbfounded. Hearing Gu Yuan's words, they were all stunned and stood there in shock.
In their opinion, when Gu Yuan sent Gu Xun'er out of the Gu Clan, he should have at least arranged a strong guard for her, right?
But they never expected that the guard would be a bottom-level figure who was only at the level of a Dou Huang.
Is he serious?
At the very least, he should have arranged a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng!
After all, Gu Xun'er was not someone else; she was the hope of the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan's own daughter!
They never expected that Gu Yuan would do such a thing.
The Gu Clan was not in such dire state that they could not even produce a Dou Zun or a Dou Sheng.
Even if times were tough, he could have at least arranged for a Dou Zong to protect the future of the Gu Clan.
But now, the future was missing.
Gradually, the elders came back to their senses and looked at Gu Yuan with eyes full of strange expressions.
These gazes meant, "Gu Yuan, are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?"
"Ahem!"
Gu Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Fellow elders, the key issue now is Xun'er's whereabouts, not discussing who is right or wrong here."
Upon hearing this, the elders couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "Now you're worried? When you sent Gu Xun'er out and arranged a Dou Huang to protect her, why didn't you think about it properly?"
Of course, they could only say these things in their hearts and dared not speak them out loud.
One of the Three Elders, Gu Ling, sighed, "Hey, if you didn't send Xun'er out in the first place and instead arranged for a Dou Sheng to protect her, this situation wouldn't have occurred at all."
"You're simply foolish, extremely foolish!"
The original plan of Gu Ling was to vent his anger on the guard of Gu Xun’er, but he didn't expect that the guard arranged by Gu Yuan was just a weakling at the Dou Huang level.
No need to think about it.
Gu Xun’er was already missing, and this Dou Huang weakling who was supposed to protect her was probably already dead.
Since there was no place to vent his anger, Gu Ling could only express his complaints.
Although Gu Yuan was indeed the patriarch, don't forget that there were many elders in the Gu clan.
If he even bothered to discuss with these elders when sending Gu Xun’er away and arranging a Dou Huang-level guard to protect her, even if he was the strongest in the Gu clan, the patriarch Gu Yuan wouldn't be so reckless like this!
Gu Yuan: "???"
Gu Yuan frowned and looked at Gu Ling, "Elder Gu Ling, I've already said that finding Xun’er is important now."
"What's the use of saying this to me now?"
The Gu clan was not a dictatorship, even though Gu Yuan was the patriarch, he was still restricted in his actions.
For example, the current Gu Ling, one of the three Immortals and one of the Supreme Elders, had a great reputation in the clan.
Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually became oppressive.
"What? The patriarch made a mistake, and the elder can't even speak up?" Gu Ling retorted directly, not afraid of Gu Yuan at all.
Snap!
Boom!
Gu Yuan heard this and suddenly stood up, slapped the armrest heavily, and an astonishing momentum burst out of his body.
The armrest behind him turned into powder under his slap. Gu Yuan's face was ugly, and his eyes stared directly at Gu Ling as he spoke in a low voice, "I am the patriarch of the Gu clan, the supreme existence of the Gu clan!"
"Elder Gu Ling, don't forget your identity. You're just an elder."
Gu Xun’er was missing, and Gu Yuan was already in a bad mood. He had gathered many elders to come and find her, not to argue with them.
He was wrong, so what?
When he was right, why didn't these elders praise his wisdom?
Once he was wrong, did he have to admit his mistake?
Gu Yuan was the patriarch of the Gu clan, the pillar of the entire clan.
…
Silence.
The hall was silent.
The scene was silent!
Who would have thought that Gu Yuan would be so angry? The hearts of many elders trembled.
It had been so many years since they had seen Gu Yuan so furious.
It was evident that Gu Yuan had been holding in his anger ever since Gu Xun’er went missing.
They knew that they shouldn't provoke Gu Yuan at this time.
Even Gu Ling, the supreme elder, had been rebuked. What were they in Gu Yuan's eyes?
When Gu Yuan respected them, they were elders. If Gu Yuan didn't respect them, they were nothing.
"Gu Yuan, you..." Gu Ling was initially stunned, but he gradually regained his composure.
Although Gu Ling had an urge to retort with harsh words, at this moment, Gu Dao, another of the three immortals, stood up and stopped Gu Ling.
Gu Dao knew that Gu Yuan was furious and could do anything at this moment. Gu Ling might be suppressed.
He had to step forward and stop Gu Ling from speaking further.
Gu Dao said, "Leader Gu Yuan, have you found any clues among the Xiao clan members about Miss Xun’er's disappearance?"
When Gu Yuan heard Xun’er's name, he gradually calmed down and shook his head. "All the Xiao clan members have been annihilated, and there is no clue whatsoever."
Then he turned his words and said solemnly, "I command all the forces of the Gu clan to find out who took Xun’er away."
"Yes!" When the many elders heard this, they left one after another, preparing to mobilize all the forces of the Gu clan to find Gu Xun’er.
Only Gu Yuan was left in the hall, his hands behind his back, murmuring to himself, "Xun’er, please be safe!"
If he had known that this would happen, Gu Yuan would never have sent Gu Xun’er to the Xiao clan.
After all, what was a piece of ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade compared to his own daughter?
His daughter was much more important than anything else, and she was irreplaceable.
...
After the three immortals of the Gu clan left the hall, Gu Ling looked resentful and looked at Gu Dao.
"Gu Dao, why did you stop me just now? The clan leader is becoming more and more lawless. If he makes a mistake, we can't even speak up."
"Does he even have me, a supreme elder, in his eyes?" Gu Ling complained.
"Why should he care about you?"
Gu Xiu, the third immortal who had never spoken before, spoke up at this moment.
"Are you stronger than him?"
