Chapter 594: Someone From the Ancient Family

"Although there is an order from the guest, but brother Jing Yan, you'd better not leave the territory of Dan Country. They may not dare to deal with you openly, but it's hard to tell in secret. It's easy to hide open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. You still need to be careful." Hu Donghe exhorted again.

"In a short time, I really have no plans to leave Dan Country." Jing Yan nodded his head.

After chatting with Hu Donghe for a while, Jing Yan said goodbye and left.

Tianyuan Continent, Gu family!

The Gu family is one of the seven great families in the Tianyuan Continent. It is said that this family has a history of thousands of years. Before the war between man and god, this family already existed.

The seven great aristocratic families have extremely profound backgrounds, and any family has the strength comparable to that of the holy city. However, today's Seven Great Aristocratic Families act relatively low-key. Moreover, they all obey the leadership of the Holy City, at least on the surface, they obey the Holy Lord.

Dongguan County, in a separate courtyard of the ancient house.

A tall, thin, handsome young man stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him, an old man with a black beard bowed and spoke with a respectful expression.

The Gu family controls the eight counties in the Tianyuan Continent, and Dongguan County is just one of the eight counties.

"Is that Jing Yan still in Dan Kingdom?" The young man opened his mouth slightly, and let out an indifferent voice.

"Exactly! I just got the news that Jing Yan has received the Order of the City of Pill Spirit. The city of Pill Spirit spread the news all over the mainland. It is obviously a clear statement to protect this Jing Yan." The black-bearded old man lowered his head and replied. .

"What the hell is that old fellow Hu Donghe thinking? Why does he treat Jing Yan so favorably?" The young man frowned.

This young man, named Gu Xinghe, is a direct descendant of the Gu family, with a distinguished status.

Not only that, he also has another identity, which is the candidate patriarch of the ancient family. His great-grandfather was a supreme elder of the Gu family.

For a family like the Gu family, the patriarch was chosen after thousands of selections. The family will cultivate multiple candidate patriarchs, and the future patriarch will be born from the candidate patriarchs.

There is also a very strange rule in the Gu family, that is, each patriarch can serve for a maximum of three hundred years. Once the time limit of three hundred years is reached, no matter how good the current patriarch is, he must step down and give way to the candidate patriarch.

Of course, the number of candidate patriarchs will not be too many. Generally, within a period, there will be two or three candidate patriarchs in office at the same time.

This Gu Xinghe is one of the two candidate patriarchs during this period.

Moreover, at present, he is better than the other candidate patriarch. Among the Gu family, most people believe that Gu Xinghe will become the next Gu family head.

"This Jing Yan is not simple. Although he is young, his ability is extremely terrifying. Judging from the information we have obtained, Hu Donghe may have benefited from him, so he sheltered Jing Yan like this." Hei Xu The old man said slowly.

"Hmph!" Gu Xinghe snorted coldly.

"Master, since that Jing Yan has been ordered by Ke Qing, we have to think carefully about how to deal with him. Hu Donghe's status is extraordinary, we should not offend him!" the black-bearded old man continued.

"Originally, we planned to wait until that kid leaves Dan country. Now it seems that it doesn't make any difference whether he leaves Dan country or not. Since he has a guest order from Dan country, no matter what, we can't do it openly. "Gu Xinghe narrowed his eyes.

"How is our exploration of that ancient cave in Lanqu County?" Gu Xinghe changed the topic.

"In another one or two months, the exploration should be over." The black-bearded old man paused and said.

"Stop!" Gu Xinghe waved his hand, "Recall all our people from that ancient cave. There are many good things in this ancient cave. Since there is no danger inside, I will go there myself have a look!"

"Huh?" The black-bearded old man didn't understand what Gu Xinghe meant.

"Isn't Jing Yan from Lanqu County? We'll go to Dan Country to find him now. He's familiar with Lanqu County. Wouldn't it be reasonable for us to let him take him to the Shanggu Cave Mansion? In our capacity, please If he does a favor, will he refuse?" Gu Xinghe sneered.

"It's possible!" the black-bearded old man's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head.

Dan country, brilliant Dan building!

In the room on the first floor, the two people opposite Jing Yan are Gu Xinghe and the old man with black beard.

"Are you the alchemist Jing Yan?" Gu Xinghe looked at Jing Yan and asked.

"That's right, I'm Jing Yan, you two came to see me, what's the matter?" Jing Yan also looked at Gu Xinghe.

He already knew the identity of this person, he was a child of the Gu family of the seven great families, named Gu Xinghe. And the old man next to Gu Xinghe, with restrained aura, looked like he was not an ordinary strong man, he should be the person responsible for protecting Gu Xinghe.

"I am Gu Xinghe, the candidate patriarch of the Gu family. This is Elder Yin!" Gu Xinghe first introduced himself, and then pointed to the old man with black beard beside him.

Hearing Gu Xinghe's words, Jing Yan's heart moved slightly.

He got the news from Zhou Shangyun that the Dark Night Organization is said to have the background of the Gu family. The leader of Anye in Lanqu County is Mr. Yin. The person next to Gu Xinghe is called Yin Lao. After thinking about it for a while, Jing Yan understood that the two must be related.

Jing Yan didn't make a sound, waiting for Gu Xinghe to continue.

"We came here this time to find you, Jing Yan."

"We know that Alchemist Jing Yan is extremely capable in the way of alchemy. He won the first place in this year's alchemy ceremony and the first place on the list of rookie alchemy kings. Our ancient family believes that alchemist Jing Yan is a rare genius in alchemy. So , we want to cooperate with Alchemist Jing Yan." A smile appeared on Gu Xinghe's face.

"Oh? How to cooperate?" Jing Yan also smiled.

"We hope that Alchemist Jing Yan can make alchemy for the Gu family. Our Gu family can buy all the pills refined by Alchemist Jing Yan. Of course, our Gu family will also provide protection for Alchemist Jing Yan. As long as we get Protection, Alchemist Jing Yan, there is no need to worry about being disturbed by other forces, Alchemist Jing Yan can put all his mind on alchemy."

"I believe that with the support of my Gu family, alchemist Jing Yan will definitely become a ninth-level alchemy king in the future." Gu Xinghe spoke with confidence.

This kind of self-confidence is not deliberately pretended, but emanates from the bones.

"Old Yin, tell me too!" Gu Xinghe turned sideways, and said to Old Yin beside him.

Elder Yin chuckled, "Master Jingyan, the leader of Anye in Lanqu County, died in your hands?"

Mr. Yin is straightforward.

"That's right." Jing Yan nodded his head.

If An Ye is really a killer organization controlled by the Gu family. It would not be a surprise for Jing Yan, the Gu family found out that the person who killed Mr. Yin was himself. Therefore, he did not need to deny it.
