Chapter 1329

However, Xiao Cui's envy soon disappeared, and she returned to her normal state. She came to them, bowed to them, and told them that the master had something to do and could not receive them for the time being. The mistress asked them to come in and rest first, and the master would receive them when he had time.

Gu Zheng had no objection, anyway, he would see the other party sooner or later. As for the letter, it was taken away by the mistress and handed over to the head of the family.

Xiao Cui led Gu Zheng and the others in front, walking towards the wing room where they would receive guests temporarily.

Sure enough, halfway along the way, everyone saw that they were stunned, staring at them, as if they were looking at something strange.

Gu Zheng turned a blind eye to all this and looked straight ahead.

Xiao Lan and the others seemed to be unable to see it all with their smart eyes. Such a luxurious mansion, just the front yard took them a full ten minutes to walk, and they were still shuttling in the corridor.

After waiting for another stick of incense, Xiao Cui arranged them in four different rooms. Although it was just a temporary residence for guests, it was as luxurious as the master bedroom of a wealthy family.

After Xiao Cui left here, the others came to Gu Zheng's room.

Because it was Gu Zheng who decided to come here, they just followed him here.

"Mr. Gu, why do we pretend to be their relatives? Will they find out?" Shuang'er asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. The main purpose of coming here is to give everyone a temporary residence." This is why Gu Zheng agreed to them, because he thought that if there was some chaos outside, Shuang'er might not be able to take care of the two of them, so he just brought them here first.

As for the identity of the relative, as long as the other party still recognized the jade pendant, everything would not be a problem. After all, it was something given to him by the Great Elder of the Star Alliance. The other party's family still existed, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely recognize each other. If it was not an important thing, how could the Great Elder give it to him? He would definitely not cheat him.

"Really? That's great. I didn't expect I could live in such a luxurious place." Ah Shuai said excitedly. Looking at the things in the house, any one of them was more valuable than the house they lived in before.

"I'm not asking you to enjoy it. I told you that although your cultivation has been greatly improved, I was just forcing you to grow. Next, you should practice well and consolidate in this realm. When you can deal with ten people, you can consider breaking through. Otherwise, there will be huge obstacles for your future growth." Gu Zheng said to them with a stern face.

"I know, we won't relax, Master." Ah Shuai laughed. He has now figured out Gu Zheng's character. Although he seems strict, as long as you complete what you should do, he will not punish you even if you are a little out of line.

"Just know it, Shuang'er, you all go back," Gu Zheng said to them. He wanted to be quiet for a while.

Although Shuang'er still had many questions, she had to go back and leave Gu Zheng alone.

At this time, Gu Zheng's consciousness had already scanned the entire Xu Mansion. As expected, he did not find Zhao Man. However, he did feel the traces left by the other party, but they were already very faint.

The last time he saw that young man, who claimed to be surnamed Xu, Gu Zheng suspected that he was related to the Xu family. This is why he came here without hesitation, not only to find a temporary place for Shuang'er and the others to stay, at least no demons or monsters would dare to invade the home of a senior official.

The main purpose was to find some clues about Zhao Man. Even if Bei Chen was weak, he was not just a cat or dog that could be defeated by the other party. Now the two people's perception of survival status was similar. They seemed to be trapped somewhere in Fengcheng, but they did not seem to be in Fengcheng.

However, Gu Zheng believed that with Bei Chen's protection, let alone a short time, even if he was present, he could not get rid of Zhao Man. Which of the demons who survived from ancient times was a simple person.

Unknowingly, it was soon evening, and one person knocked on everyone's door at a time, and finally came to Gu Zheng's door.

Gu Zheng opened the door without waiting for the other party to knock. Outside the door stood a servant who had just raised his hand to knock. Frost, A Shuai and Xiao Lan followed behind him. Seeing the door open automatically, the servant was very surprised, but he still put away his arm and said respectfully.

"Sir, my master is free. He and his wife are waiting for you in the living room. Let me lead the way for you."

Although he looked like a servant, he was actually one of the master's confidants, but he did not treat them with a strange attitude.

Although there have been some inexplicable things coming to the Xu Mansion to ask for money every year recently, such relatives are indeed extremely rare. After all, those things are instructed by someone. At most, they will lock up the other party and beat them up at most, but they will definitely not dare to do such a thing. If the master really finds out, they must not go out alive.

That means that among them, at least one of them is the real relative of the master, and the identity that he had found out from Xiao Cui before, of course, he thinks that this young man is the most likely one.

Moreover, when his master asked him to come over, he looked very serious. He was sure that the other party was not ordinary. Considering the recent situation, it was not difficult to say that he was not someone who had supported him from outside.

Gu Zheng nodded directly and followed the other party, heading straight to the living room of the Xu family.

At this time, in the living room of the Xu family, there was a graceful lady with a kind face. Although she was over fifty years old, she was well maintained and looked like she was thirty years old, very young.

This person was the mistress who had let Gu Zheng and the others in before. Two maids stood behind her, one of whom was Xiao Cui.

"Master, the other party was so confident that he came to our house, and he also had a token in his hand. Most likely it was true. I just don't know who he is and why he came to our house at this time."

"I think, maybe he is a poor relative of some matter. Although the token has the logo of our Xu family, it seems to be thousands of years old. I have never seen anyone use it. Maybe he can't make a living and comes to us. Now our family is in trouble. It is better to give him some silver and send him away to avoid causing us some trouble."

Opposite the eldest lady, there was an obviously young and beautiful woman who looked like she was 24 years old. This person was the youngest lady that the master accepted a few years ago. She was obviously favored. The only flaw was that she didn't conceive a son or a daughter in the past few years, which made her temper gradually a little irritable.

At this time, she looked at the master. What she said just now was her. She was not against the master, but she was telling the truth.

Because they have some relatives, people often come to ask for money. Of course, they dare not use the name of the Xu family, but use the name of Mrs. So-and-so to ask for some money or ask the master to do something.

Not everyone can use the name of the Xu family.

"See what the other party asks for. If it is not excessive, try to satisfy it. In any case, the other party does hold the Xu family's token. In any case, our Xu family cannot ignore the other party."

Xu Jing, the head of the Xu family, is nearly sixty years old, but his head is already gray. However, he has been well maintained and looks ruddy. He looks like he is in his forties. He took a sip of the steaming hot tea in his hand and decided.

"What the master said is that our family cannot let our family suffer, otherwise how will others see our family." The eldest lady said with a smile, not minding that the third lady opposite had different opinions from her, and looked like a good wife and mother.

"What the master says is what it is. I just give you some reference opinions." The third lady said unwillingly.

Xu Jing was also very satisfied when he saw this.

The eldest lady was a young woman whom he married in a formal way. She was considerate and always cared about him. She was well organized in everything she did, and no one could find fault with her. Once he was not at home for something, she would help him take care of all the big and small things at home, and never let him worry about anything.

Although the youngest lady was a little jealous, she was generally on the side of her family. Her delicate and considerate mind made it easy for her to understand other people's temperaments. Although she would sometimes make mistakes, she would correct them in time and know when to advance and retreat. She usually played the role of the eldest lady's black face.

Sometimes her opposition was just a supplement without leaving a trace, and he certainly knew it.

Xu Jing had all kinds of thoughts in his mind about what he wanted to do when he came to see his so-called relative this time.

At this time, the maid outside the door hurried in and said to Xu Jing and others who had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, Xu Wei has brought guests outside. Should we summon them now?"

"Ask Xu Wei to bring people in." Xu Jing stopped rubbing the jade pendant in his hand and gave a faint order to the people below.

"Yes"

The maid turned around and went out again, giving orders to the people outside.

With the sound of several footsteps, Gu Zheng and his group soon arrived in the hall.

"Wow, Xiaolan, look, this place is really gorgeous. Look, the calligraphy and painting on it is actually gold-plated and mounted. Wow, it's so luxurious." Ah Shuai was stunned again when he came in. For him, every new place would refresh his horizons.

"Brother, don't say anymore." Xiaolan said in a speechless voice. Her brother looked like a bumpkin coming to the city. She felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed her master and others.

Xu Jing and the other three looked at each other with some amusement. Although the little girl behind him looked like she was trying to persuade others, she was also full of shock. The two people walking in front of him smiled and were not shocked by the luxury here.

"You are here to find your relatives. I don't know who your parents or ancestors are. Tell me in detail so that I can see which generation you belong to." Xu Jing coughed lightly and said to Gu Zheng in front of him, exploring the other party's family background without leaving any trace.

"Gu Zheng, this is my sister Shuang'er, and the one behind is my new apprentice." Gu Zheng hesitated and introduced himself.

"Well." Xu Jing picked up the tea again and just glanced at the two children. He didn't have any cultivation, but looking at his confident body, he estimated that his cultivation was not low.

He was waiting for Gu Zheng to continue, but after drinking a few sips of tea, he was surprised to find that Gu Zheng had closed his mouth.

"What? Don't you continue to talk about your ancestral home? Although you hold the Xu family's token, you still have to go through the process." Xu Jing said puzzledly.

At the same time, the two ladies and other maids also looked at them curiously. They didn't look like such rude people.

"Master Xu, didn't you look carefully at the token I gave you?" Gu Zheng was also surprised and didn't understand what was going on.

When the elder gave it to him, he said that as long as he left it to the Xu family, he would be able to find the message that the ancestor left for them, but it seems that the other party didn't know it at all.

"I saw it. Did you just pick it up accidentally?" Xu Jing put the jade pendant in front of him and suddenly thought of this question.

Gu Zheng found that the head of the Xu family on it was actually an ordinary person with no cultivation, but there was a sense of righteousness in his body, which made him think that he was still a person with good cultivation.

"Head of the Xu family, call out the family general who is guarding you, and I will tell him and you will understand." Gu Zheng said with a bow.

"I'll see what the mystery is." Xu Jing raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng with bright eyes. He waited for a while before saying this.

It seems that there is some information hidden in this jade pendant. Maybe the other party is here to give it to him. No matter what, the other party should be a friend rather than an enemy. He must take a look to see what is in it.

"Pa pa" Xu Jing clapped his hands lightly, and heard a middle-aged man with a steady breath walk in from the living room. He was wearing casual clothes and walked straight to Xu Jing.

Gu Zheng had actually discovered that the other party was hiding around. Of course, he was not the only one. There were at least four fifth-level cultivators near this house, and one was even hiding directly on the roof.

Although those demons could not get close to here, they could not stop some people with ulterior motives, so they had to take necessary protection all the time.

Gu Zheng moved his lips slightly, and the guard looked at Gu Zheng in surprise, then nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Sir, please close your eyes for a while."

Then the middle-aged guard put his two fingers together, and a layer of light green light appeared on it, and then slowly touched Xu Jing's eyes, and a layer of green light flashing outside his eyes flowed.

"Okay, sir, please open your eyes."

This is just a small spell to clear your eyes and clear your mind. Basically, all cultivators have a little trick, and if it is used by mortals, it can make him see some invisible things.

At this time, Xu Jing looked at the jade pendant in his hand again. It was completely different from before. There were many more blurred characters inside the jade pendant, but it was still recognizable.

Xu Jing recognized it after a careful look, but in the eyes of others, the jade pendant was still the same, without any change.

Gu Zheng had actually seen it a long time ago. In fact, there was nothing, just saying that the holder of this jade pendant was a distinguished guest of the Xu family, just like he was there in person. As long as he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, everything would satisfy the person holding the jade pendant, no matter what his identity was.

There was nothing else. It should be finished soon, but Xu Jing still frowned at this time, as if thinking about something.

Soon, the green light of his eye injury began to dim. It must be that the other party rarely cast this spell, resulting in a short time.

"Hurry up, give me another one." Xu Jing hurriedly closed his eyes and ordered.

After the guard cast it again, Xu Jing opened his eyes again. It was not until the end of this spell that Xu Jing suddenly realized something.

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Xu Jing bit one of his fingers, forced a drop of blood to drip onto the jade pendant in his hand, and slowly merged into it.

"Is there a code in it that I don't know?" A thought flashed through Gu Zheng's mind.

When the drop of blood completely merged into the jade pendant, the entire jade pendant shone brightly, suddenly surrounding Xu Jing.

The lady and maid next to him were shocked and stood up hurriedly to look up.

"Shua shua"

Several hidden figures rushed out quickly and surrounded Gu Zheng and the others, suspecting that they were the ones who did it.

The guard in front of Xu Jing tried to rescue him, but as soon as he touched the white light, he was bounced out.

But Gu Zheng still didn't change his expression, because it was impossible to harm himself. It can only be said that there was a riddle hidden in it that only the Xu family could understand, otherwise it would not cause such a change.

Fortunately, the change came suddenly and went suddenly. Before they could speak, the light dispersed and Xu Jing was revealed again.

"Sir, are you okay?" The guard who was flung away before returned at high speed again, and it seemed that he was not hurt at all.

"It's okay, I know what happened to that thing, you can leave." Xu Jing, who looked a little tired, rubbed his eyes and said.

"Yes!"

Seeing Xu Jing say this, the guards looked at each other and obeyed and left here again.

"Master, what's the matter? Look how tired you are." The eldest lady next to him walked forward, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said distressedly.

"Is there something wrong with the jade pendant?" The third lady also stood up and said.

"No, there is no problem with this jade pendant, and it comes from someone I have to call an elder." Xu Jing felt much better at this time and explained to his two beloved wives.

"Gu Zheng, right? I welcome you to come here." Xu Jing took a breath, motioned his beloved wife to go down, and then welcomed her.

This surprised the young lady. The tone was obviously different from before. I don't know if it was her illusion, it seemed to have a little respect.

"Yes, I wonder if I can stay?" Gu Zheng nodded. Although he didn't know what would happen, it was definitely moving in a good direction.

"Haha, of course you can. If you are in terms of seniority, you are still my nephew. Don't worry. When you are here, just find me if you have any problems. If I am not here, find anyone else and I will definitely solve it for you." Xu Jing laughed and walked down the steps to Gu Zheng.

"Come on, nephew, I really don't know what happened to you before. Come with me to the side hall and tell me about your situation in those years. No one else is allowed to follow. I want to have a good chat with my nephew."

"Okay, uncle." Gu Zheng knew that the other party gave him an identity so that he could stay reasonably, and it seemed that he had something to tell him.

Of course, he didn't mind recognizing an uncle, and signaled Shuang'er and the others to stay here, and followed Xu Jing to the side hall.
