Seeing that she didn't say anything, he had no choice but to say, "Liyue, why don't you come back, come back to the Gu family."

The Second Elder said earnestly, "Come back. Think about it, having the Gu family's resources and protection is better than being alone outside. Your cultivation will definitely increase faster in the Gu family than if you were alone outside."

Gu Liyue looked at him and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Gu Zhen recalled that these days, his spies reported that the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion had received a lot of elixirs, and it was confirmed that the goods were supplied by a woman. He intuitively thought of Gu Liyue.

Now from the way she spoke, she seemed to have someone to rely on. Could it really be her?

The enthusiasm in his eyes flashed away, and he said, "Liyue, I really can't bear to see you leave the Gu family. Your mother doesn't have any relatives in Qingxuan Continent. If you leave the Gu family, you will really be left without a single relative."

Gu Liyue thought to herself: Even if I have no relatives, it's better than having a bunch of ruthless relatives. She remembered how the original owner was killed by the Gu family.

She said, "I like to be alone. I don't like living a life where people are calculating against me."

Even though she refused, Gu Zhen still wanted to fight for it: "Come back, no one will plot against you anymore. There are many books on alchemy and cultivation in the Gu family's library. You can come and go at any time."

"Oh, Gu Yaoyao can't use the strange fire yet? Otherwise, if you use Gu Yaoyao's life in exchange for my return to the Gu family, I will consider it."

"But she is the Third Prince's fiancée after all! She is considered half a member of the royal family. I dare not do anything now!"

"Oh, when she attacked me, I was also the Third Prince's fiancée. You could have just watched her attack me. How about this: when I attack her, you just watch?"

He felt like Gu Liyue was roasting him on the fire! His face changed, he took a deep breath, and after two breaths, he said, "Are you really not going to return to the Gu family?"

Gu Liyue simply said, "I won't reply. My name has been crossed out in the family tree. And I don't owe the Gu family anything.

I remember when we broke off our relationship, the head of the Gu family warned me not to come to you for help! Today I will return this to you. Don't come to me for anything in the future. Let's keep our distance!"

Gu Zhen said formally: "You really don't owe the Gu family anything? You were raised by the Gu family."

Aunt Yu was extremely angry, thinking about how many spirit stones and good things the Madam had given to the Gu family when she was there. However, the Gu family only raised the young lady for fourteen years, fourteen years during which she could not practice cultivation.

She stood up and said, "Master Gu, you haven't forgotten how much our wife has sacrificed for the Gu family, have you? If you have forgotten, it doesn't matter. I have a list to remind you."

Gu Zhen stared at her with wide eyes.

Seeing that he remained silent, Aunt Yu said, "Master Gu, the long sword you're carrying was originally my wife's. The alchemy furnace used by the Second Elder was also found by my husband's family, right? My wife also found so many medical books for the Third Elder."

The three members of the Gu family all looked pale when they heard this. Gu Zhen said, "Dongfengxi is Dongfengxi, and Liyue is Liyue. How can they be confused with each other?"

Gu Liyue watched quietly, she wanted to see what shameless words Gu Zhen could say next.

"Our young lady is the daughter of Madam and Gu Mutian. Isn't it the duty of parents to raise their children?"

"But they've broken off relations."

"Yes, they have already severed their relationship. You are here to discuss child support now. Shouldn't that be discussed when the relationship is severed? Once the relationship is severed, it's all over. There is no connection anymore. Our young lady doesn't owe you anything."

The second elder looked at Gu Zhen and said, "Brother, forget it!"

The Third Elder glanced at the Second Elder and said, "What do you mean by 'reckoning'? You must pay back what you owe the Gu family. Otherwise, take out that precious armor and return it to the Gu family."

"Hehehe." Gu Liyue laughed out loud, "So it's all about that precious armor!"

The Third Elder said, "When the Third Prince broke off the engagement, you, Gu Liyue, were still the eldest daughter of the Gu family. The compensation given by the Third Prince should belong to the Gu family."

Gu Liyue said lazily, "Oh, so is he breaking off the engagement with your Gu family or with me? Your Gu family is still engaged to the Third Prince! I think you're trying to snatch him away!"

The third elder choked and his face turned red. He hadn't been accused of stealing other people's things for many years.

Gu Zhen smiled contemptuously: "Your words remind me, which is not a bad thing."

This soft approach is useless, it's time to use force! And to put it bluntly, there's not a single good person in this Gu family, from the old to the young.

Gu Liyue taunted, "Oh, seriously? Is it because there's no one else watching here that you can even disregard the Gu family's Patriarch's dignity?"

Gu Zhen shouted, "Gu Liyue, don't refuse a toast and then drink the penalty drink!"

When Aunt Yu heard this, her aura suddenly changed, and she released the powerful pressure of her Golden Core Great Perfection. In an instant, the powerful pressure surged towards the three of them like a tide.

Gu Zhen was horrified and quickly mobilized his spiritual energy to charge towards the pressure. The second elder and the third elder took a step back and stood behind Gu Zhen.

"Boom", the two spiritual powers collided, and the air waves made everything around them clang.

Gu Liyue, however, sat steadily on the chair.

One wall of this private room faces the street, and there is a large window on this wall. The noise just now was quite loud, causing passers-by on the street to stop and look in.

"Is someone fighting? They must be masters!"

"Yes, recently Donglin City has been crowded with cultivators who are applying for the Qingxuan Academy entrance exam, and the streets are a bit chaotic."

"Look, isn't that Patriarch Gu and Gu Liyue in this private room? What are they doing?"

Someone said mysteriously, "I know that Gu Liyue has severed her ties with the Gu family."

"No way, there are people who will cut off ties with the family. Will they be kicked out of the family?"

"Of course not. My neighbor's uncle's son works as a servant in the Gu family. He saw it with his own eyes. Also, Gu Liyue defeated Gu Yaoyao in the ring."

"Really? That loser defeated the second daughter of the Gu family who can practice cultivation. How can this be so hard to believe?"

“Who says it’s not true? But it’s true.”

"Look at Patriarch Gu's face, it's ashen. He didn't lose the fight, did he?"

The people downstairs were eating melons happily.

Upstairs, Gu Zhen stared at Aunt Yu intently. He had actually overlooked her. This servant, right under his nose, had actually reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core! Her cultivation was slightly higher than his own!

His expression grew serious.

In today's battle, I thought I would win with my skills, but now it seems that I may not win.

His mind raced, quickly considering whether he would win or lose if he took action.

We can’t achieve our goal today, so we can only take a long-term view.

"Forget it, since you don't want to go back to the Gu family, I won't force you. You can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Gu Zhen flicked his sleeves and was about to leave with the two elders.
