Your classmates haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, but you are carrying bricks

The old man was slightly startled and looked Gu Ci up and down. This young man was seriously injured but still had his back straight. There was no fear in his eyes, but instead a sense of determination and courage.

"How do you want to talk?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, his tone scrutinizing.

"I want to see the head of the Liu family about this matter. I want to talk to him about it!"

Gu Ci met the old man's gaze without flinching.

"How dare you! Do you think you can call the Patriarch by his name?"

The bodyguard beside the old man shouted angrily.

Gu Ci sneered, "What? The head of the Liu family is so precious that he can't even be mentioned by name? The current situation has already concerned your Liu family, and has nothing to do with me, Gu Ci. Even if I leave, so what? The Li family can't stop me, and your Liu family can't stop me either! I've made it clear today that I won't meet the head of the Liu family, and it's useless for anyone to talk to me!"

"you......"

The bodyguard was about to attack, but the old man raised his hand to stop him.

"Interesting," the old man said with a playful smile, "It's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like this. Boy, I want to see what trump card you have!"

"My trump card is Liu Wen's life!"

Gu Ci said word by word, "If you don't want her to get into trouble, take me to see the head of the Liu family!"

The old man was silent. He stared at Gu Ci, as if he was weighing something.

The atmosphere in the ward was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

Liu Shiyu stood aside, looking anxiously at Gu Ci, then at her grandfather, but did not dare to interrupt.

"it is good!"

After a long while, the old man finally spoke, "I promise you. However, this matter has become a big deal now. If the head of the family treats you badly, don't blame me..."

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in his eyes, and his words were full of threats.

Gu Ci didn't say anything, but just smiled: "Now it's you who need a solution, not me who needs you!"

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he regained control of his emotions.

He waved his hand, signaling the bodyguard to help Gu Ci up from the bed.

Gu Ci endured the severe pain in his body and stood up with the help of his bodyguard.

“Grandpa, do you really want to take him to see uncle?”

"Shiyu, this world is not only about romance, but also about swords, spears, and halberds!"

The old man glanced at Liu Shiyu and said, "Don't get involved in this matter, understand!"

Liu Shiyu bit her lip aggrievedly, not daring to say anything more. She could only watch Gu Ci being taken away.

Along the way, Gu Ci remained silent and observed the surrounding environment calmly.

In terms of strength, the Liu family is middle-class among the eight major families in J City and will not be threatened by the Li family in any way.

But even though the Li family is at the bottom of the ranking, they still have some foundation. Otherwise, with the strength of the Li family, they would have been gone long ago after being ranked at the bottom for so many years.

Gu Ci was accompanied by two bodyguards all the way to the Liu family's old house.

This house, built against the mountain, is magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and an antique style, all of which demonstrate the Liu family's century-old family heritage.

After passing through the winding corridor, we arrived at an ancient and elegant study.

"The master is inside, please go in by yourself."

The old man waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to make way.

Gu Ci tidied up his messy clothes, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

In the study, a middle-aged man was standing in front of the window with his back to him, staring at the scenery outside.

The man was tall and straight, wearing a black Tang suit, with his hair combed meticulously, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

It was the head of the family, Liu Zhennan!

"How's the treatment for your monkey?"

Liu Zhennan's voice was low and magnetic, but he did not mention Liu Wen at all, as if he had only sought Gu Ci out to chat about family matters.

Gu Ci sneered in his heart, this old fox was indeed cunning and wanted to test his strength first.

"Doctor Liu is treating him. His condition is currently unknown, but that hairy monkey is tough to begin with. We'll just have to see how he recovers!"

Liu Zhennan turned around, walked to the mahogany desk and sat down, with no emotion visible on his weather-beaten face.

"Gu Ci, you...really make me look at you in a new light!"

Gu Ci didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.

He knew that Liu Zhennan’s next words were the key points.

"The notification letter from the Li family is here, take a look!"

Liu Zhennan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and handed the notice to Gu Ci with one hand.

"No need to look, just tell me! I'm a patient, it's not convenient!"

Gu Ci sneered and raised his bandaged arm towards Liu Zhennan.

However, Liu Zhennan's eyes moved and he smiled coldly: "Gu Ci, from the moment you got the Soul-Calming Ice, you have become the enemy of the entire world!"

Gu Ci's mouth curled up slightly: "Master Liu, what are you talking about? I am only doing this for the Liu family. Why are you talking about making an enemy of the whole world?"

Liu Zhennan's eyes moved, and he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, come in!"

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and more than a dozen figures filed in and surrounded Gu Ci.

Each of them had a grim look on their face, with their hands pressed under the bulging clothes around their waists, obviously ready to take action at any time.

But when Gu Ci saw the faces of these people, he was shocked!

"headmaster?"

"Zhao Wushuang?"

"Lin Qingru?"

"Wen Lili?"

……

Gu Ci looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

These were all people he had dealt with after coming to J City!

"What? Are you surprised?"

Liu Zhennan put down his teacup, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "You don't really think that a young boy like you can snatch the Soul-Calming Ice from the Li family, do you?"

Gu Ci's mind was racing, and a terrible thought gradually became clear.

From the beginning to the end, the search for the Soul-Calming Ice was just a conspiracy against him!

The Liu family, or rather, the entire J City, allowed him to obtain the Soul-Calming Ice just as a test!

What is Gu Ci's strength at this time?

"Gu Ci, do you know? In our J City, the legend of the Ghost-Faced King has always been circulating! And now, all the scenes in the legend have come true!"

"You are the legendary destroyer of J City, the real Supreme Ghost Face!"

"Whether you became a powerful blacksmith as a student! Or you were able to enter the restricted area as a preparatory student! Or you have repeatedly brushed shoulders with danger!"

"Everything that happened to you is telling you one thing: you are definitely not an ordinary person!"

"It turns out that you have been plotting against me since the beginning!"

Gu Ci gritted his teeth and his fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.

"Gu Ci, don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame fate!"

"Do you really think that in J City, we will allow a person with supernatural power to escape our control?"
