His parents also asked him to call the boy his younger brother.
"Father, he is?"
Hearing Gu Xichao's question, Gu's father quickly replied, "He is the son of my best friend. This time, your mother and I went to the Immortal Emperor's Tomb to seek opportunities, and we encountered an attack from the internal formation. If it weren't for his father risking his life to save us, your mother and I would have perished in the Immortal Emperor's Tomb as well."
As soon as Father Gu finished speaking, the handsome young man walked towards Gu Xichao with a timid look on his face.
"Hello, big brother. My name is Haoxuan."
When a stranger suddenly called him "Big Brother", Gu Xichao didn't react for a moment and said something subconsciously.
"I'm not your eldest brother."
However, just these one sentence made the young man want to cry.
The next second he said with self-pity: "Yeah, I'm not a member of the Gu family after all."
After saying this, he turned to Gu's father and mother.
"Uncle and aunt, thank you very much for taking care of me, but my eldest brother doesn't seem to like me very much. I think I should go back to my own home. I don't think my father will blame you."
Upon hearing this, Gu's father and mother became anxious on the spot.
"Haoxuan, don't say such things. Your father died to save us. From now on, we will be your biological parents."
Just at this moment, the young man's face suddenly turned pale, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
"Haoxuan, what's wrong with you, Haoxuan?"
"The child is so weak, hurry up and get the Green Lotus Golden Pill."
As they were talking, Gu's father and mother became busy, completely ignoring Gu Xichao who was standing beside them.
Gu Xichao didn't think there was anything wrong, but his servant Gu Shisan looked very unhappy.
"Master, please come here for a moment. I need to tell you something."
After being pulled aside by Gu Shisan, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong, Shisan?"
"What else? Young Master, your position is no longer secure." Gu Shisan said seriously.
"What position is lost? What are you talking about?"
"That adopted son your parents brought back is a green tea. He will slowly take your place and eventually replace you. That's how it's played out in skits."
As he spoke, Gu Shisan took out his mobile phone and found a short drama on Douyin titled "The Immortal Emperor's Parents Regret After Breaking Off Their Engagement."
The plot tells the story of a couple of immortal emperors who placed their own children in foster care at home in order to resist the invasion of foreign evil, but they adopted their best friend's child and brought him with them.
After returning home, he couldn't stand his biological son at all. At the same time, his adopted son kept framing his biological son and finally killed him.
As he watched, Gu Xichao's face turned ugly. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the plot of this short play was similar to his current experience. The Green Lotus Golden Pill was originally intended to strengthen his Taoist foundation, but now his parents gave it to the adopted son to treat his injuries.
If I can give you the golden elixir now, I can give you the family property in the future.
"No, it's too dangerous. I have to kill that guy and suck the life out of him!"
Gu Xichao said as he was about to take action.
However, he was eventually stopped by Gu Shisan.
"Don't be impulsive, young master. If you try to kill him now, it's unclear whether you can do it. If you fail, his status will be even higher in the future, and the head of the family will dislike you even more."
"Then what should I do? If I don't kill him, he will kill me. I can't guarantee that I can be reborn." Gu Xichao said with wide eyes.
"For now, I think it's best for you, Young Master, to defect from your family. Once you're out, make a name for yourself, then slap them in the face and bankrupt the Gu family."
"Ah? Is this what we have to do? Does the Gu family have to go bankrupt?"
“That’s how they shoot in short films.”
"But the protagonists in the skit are all reborn, and they all know what will happen in the future. I know nothing." Gu Xichao spread his hands. "Besides, I have no advantages, no golden fingers, how can I rise to prominence? Can I even become an Immortal Emperor?"
