I am a winner with Chinese poetry

At this moment, he finally saw Gu Tianchao's face clearly and vividly.

Speaking of Gu Tianchao, the favored son of heaven whom the original owner had been familiar with since childhood, although Gu Yunzhou had never met him, various legendary stories about this person have been circulating in Liuyun Town.

If you look closely, you can find that Gu Tianchao and the members of the second branch of the Gu family do not have much similarity in appearance.

In comparison, he was more handsome and elegant, with a scholarly air in his every move. However, if you looked closely at his brows, you could still vaguely catch a glimpse of the unique charm of the Gu family.

At this time, Gu Tianchao could only be heard saying slowly: "After all, we are both from the same clan and descended from the same ancestors. Why do we need to fight each other like this? Why not put down our weapons for the time being and sit down and talk calmly."

"You must know that there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal and unchanging interests. I also heard that you have the honor of becoming a disciple of a semi-saint. If you can put aside the grievances of the past, then our Gu family will naturally welcome you back with open arms!"

What was surprising was that in the face of such a tense situation, Gu Tianchao neither lost his temper nor showed any resentment. Instead, he remained unusually calm and spoke these words in an orderly manner.

But after hearing what his brother said, Gu Tianqiao's face was full of disbelief.

He stared straight at Gu Tianchao with his eyes wide open. Due to excessive anger, his originally fair face instantly turned red as blood, and even the blue veins on his neck bulged.

"Brother, are you kidding me? This little bastard killed my father and my brother!"

"Shut up, you have none of your business here!" Gu Tianchao glanced at the other party coldly, then retracted his gaze and waited for Gu Yunzhou's reply.

In fact, long before the operation began, Gu Tianchao and his father had carefully considered all possible situations and formulated a detailed response strategy.

If Gu Yunzhou is wise enough, knows how to judge the situation, and is willing to let go of past hatred and grudges, then the father and son would not mind accepting him back into the Gu family.

After all, if a clan member like Gu Yunzhou, who has a semi-saint-level master and is extremely talented himself, can be used by the Gu family, he will undoubtedly become a powerful force.

As for the second branch of the Gu family, although it has always been a thorn in their hearts that is difficult to remove, in the face of major issues concerning the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the entire family, some personal emotional entanglements seem insignificant.

As the saying goes, "Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters." Ultimately, it is only interests that drive people to make various choices.

You know, if Gu Yunzhou was still just the unknown and backgroundless nobody he used to be, then the Gu family's eldest branch would never have such plans and thoughts.

After all, it is difficult for a powerless little person to attract their attention and concern.

If Gu Yunzhou doesn't know what's good for him and refuses to follow their wishes, and there's another path before him, then don't blame them for being heartless and ruthless!

Although doing so might arouse suspicion and speculation from the semi-saint, there was also a certain element of luck involved.

Firstly, since their actions this time were extremely secretive and no hard evidence was left behind, even if the semi-saint had doubts, it would probably be difficult for him to find out the truth.

Secondly, the more critical factor is that they believe that Xie Jinglun does not have any deep feelings for this disciple who he has just accepted. Perhaps he will investigate after Gu Yunzhou gets into trouble, but he will not keep dwelling on it.

What's more, the most important thing is that just yesterday, Gu Tianchao successfully became the disciple of a semi-saint.

It was precisely because of this powerful backing that the eldest branch of the Gu family had enough courage to carry out this action, which could be seen as both a test and close to an assassination.

"Don't you really mind the feud between me and the second branch of the Gu family? Aren't you afraid that I might suddenly turn against you at a critical moment and catch you off guard?"

Gu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, a hint of a smile playing on the corner of his mouth. This Gu family was truly interesting. He and the second branch of the Gu family had already formed an irreconcilable hatred, but even so, the first branch of the Gu family had been able to remain so patient and endure without any outbreak of hatred.

Gu Tianchao's expression remained calm, without a ripple. He spoke slowly, "I firmly believe that as long as there are sufficiently attractive interests, our relationship will be as solid as a rock and as stable as Mount Tai!"

What he thought in his heart was that there were no eternal enemies in this world. The only thing was that the conditions offered were not enough to touch the other party's heartstrings.

Hearing this, Gu Yunzhou lowered his eyelids slightly, quietly concealing the cold glint that flashed in his eyes. After a moment's silence, he spoke again, "Are these words your own, or do they represent your father's thoughts? Also, if we really want to cooperate, what are the specific rules?" His words seemed plain, but the subtle wit within them was hard to ignore.

Gu Tianchao smiled faintly and replied calmly, "This is the final decision made by my father and I after careful consideration and consultation. If you are willing to accept this proposal, we will officially inscribe your name into the Gu family genealogy. From now on, all benefits you enjoy will be preferential, and all high-quality resources within the family will be prioritized for you. Not only that, your mother will also be assigned someone to take good care of her, ensuring that you have no worries and can devote yourself wholeheartedly to your cultivation."

Gu Tianchao listed many benefits, which sounded very attractive.

Seeing Gu Yunzhou's silence, Gu Tianchao didn't show any sign of anxiety. Instead, he added calmly, "If you have any other requests, feel free to ask. As long as they're not excessive, I'll do my best to satisfy you!"

These words made Gu Tianqiao look at him sideways, but Gu Yunzhou felt emotional in his heart that the benefits of becoming a disciple of the semi-saint master were already apparent.

Back then, the Gu family's eldest wife had never treated him so well, even sending assassins to kill him without a word. Now that the situation has changed, they are actually willing to lower their heads and win him over. It is so realistic and ironic.
