Chapter 2473 - 680: Wedding Countdown, Everyone Gathers (5)
A large group of people was beaten up by a smelly kid who was younger than them.
Later, the ’little brat’ left them with a message before he left, "One day, when you no longer have the protection of your family, what will you be?"
These words shook the group’s hearts, leaving them speechless.
Afterwards, these playboys seemed to have changed, following that ’little brat’ and continuously calling him big brother. The little brat looked at them disdainfully, saying, "Your martial arts are too weak. Only when you reach the Great Achievement State will you be qualified to be my brothers!"
Consequently, the grandson of the old Alliance Hierarch returned home, shouting about wanting to improve his skills.
The family of the old Alliance Hierarch was excited and teary-eyed; heavens, their ancestor opened his eyes! Their mischievous son was finally going to improve! The old Alliance Hierarch was also particularly happy, but at the same time, he became interested in the young man his grandson talked about.
A few days later, after his grandson’s persistent chasing, the old Alliance Hierarch finally met the ’little brat.’ He had thick brows and big eyes, a clear expression and was full of vitality. His walk exuded charm and talent. Instantly, this young man piqued the old Alliance Hierarch’s interest. After a conversation, the old Alliance Hierarch looked at the young man with newfound admiration. This young man, having traveled thousands of miles and read countless books, had such broad horizons that it’s hard to believe he’s just a freshly-adult child.
After a good chat, the two became friends despite the age gap. Later, the old Alliance Hierarch inadvertently learned that this child was indeed a descendant of the Gu Family, known as the Number One Ancient Martial Aristocratic Family!
The old Alliance Hierarch, shocked in his heart, admired the child even more. Noble by birth yet not arrogant, he paved a path with his own hands, showing gallant virtue, making him the best candidate for the Ancient Martial Alliance Hierarch!
After careful consideration, the old Alliance Hierarch received the young man’s affirmative response and thus gave him the position of Alliance Hierarch ceremoniously. Meanwhile, Nangong Jue, happily awaiting good news at home, felt like he had been struck by lightning upon hearing the bad news.
Nangong Jue couldn’t understand. He was talented and came from a powerful family, yet he had been outdone by someone else. After further investigation, he was furious. He had lost to an eighteen-year-old child! An utter disgrace!
However, no matter how dissatisfied Nangong Jue was, the matter was already settled. That child, the young Gu Yulin, was always broad in friendship, and everyone sincerely befriended him. When it was known that he became the Ancient Martial Hierarch, everyone wholeheartedly supported him. The will of the people must be done.
Thus, Gu Yulin became the Hierarch, serving ten years. During this time, he accomplished many deeds and had a stellar reputation in the Ancient Martial World. Nangong Jue saw it and was upset by it, yet had no choice but to wait for the election ten years later to make his move.
But unexpectedly, despite Nangong Jue’s careful preparations, he was defeated once again in the election ten years later. Gu Yulin was reelected, becoming the first young Alliance Hierarch to serve consecutive terms.
Nangong Jue was so furious he coughed up blood and could no longer maintain a facade of peace. In a fit of anger, he broke ties with the Gu Family, interfering in any business involving them. Since then, the open hostility between the Gu Family and Nangong Family became public, and they didn’t bother to keep up appearances.
An Yiqing listened to the entire story and couldn’t help but think, "Why did Zhuge Liang have to be born after me?" Nangong Jue was indeed commendable, but his mind was too narrow. He was used to being the center of attention and was self-centered. However, Gu Yulin, traveled far and wide and made countless friends since childhood. His broad-mindedness was something Nangong Jue couldn’t compare to. If Nangong Jue were to become the Ancient Martial Hierarch, the Ancient Martial Alliance might become his tool.
But on second thought, Nangong Jue was also talented. Despite the enmity with the Gu Family, he still tried to recruit Gu Yelin. Did he think Gu Yelin could be easily manipulated?
An Yiqing puckered her mouth and glanced at the silent Gu Yelin. The words this man said today probably made Nangong Xin spit blood.
Forget it, after all, they are just jesters, and they won’t stay long in the Ancient Martial World. Let Nangong Xin dream her own dreams.
Not thinking about Nangong father and daughter anymore, An Yiqing turned to discuss wedding details with everyone. Gu Yelin getting married was a big event in the Ancient Martial World. Even though he had always lived in the mundane world, people from the Ancient Martial World had a strong sense of national pride. For Gu Yelin, both young and old alike would give him their thumbs up in admiration. Moreover, he was a descendant of the Gu Family, with a revered status equal to Gu Yulin’s position as Family Head. With such a status, his wedding in the Ancient Martial World naturally caused a stir.
