Right now, it was clear that something was wrong!
They didn’t know what Unknown Island was, but they knew very well that it could make Fu Meng leave with her tail between her legs. Thus, from then on, they didn’t doubt Unknown Island’s prestige in the International Association at all.
It’s just that… he could clearly see the respect this elder from Unknown Island had for Su Huiqing.
Elder Gu no longer cared about them. Instead, he said to the guard beside him, “Capture this priest. He actually sent people to assassinate Missy and the rest. We must investigate this matter thoroughly.”
At this moment, Yu Shijin—who was standing in the middle of the main door—finally spoke to Gu Li who had been bleeding. “There’s no need to. Release him.”
Gu Li immediately pressed on his wound.
At this moment, Su Huiqing had already walked over leisurely and threw a bottle of medicine at Gu Li.
Gu Li applied the ointment on his wound, and the bleeding quickly stopped.
However, no one paid attention to the miracle of this bottle of medicine. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on that indentation. At this moment, the tightly shut door of the clan finally opened!
Gu Sheng’s father had been standing there. When he saw this scene, he looked at Gu Li in disbelief. “You are…”
Not only Gu Sheng’s father, but even the head of the family forgot about Su Huiqing and looked at Gu Li.
The others in the clan also looked at one another.
“The ancestral grounds can only be opened if one is recognized as the next chief.” Gu Sheng turned to look at Gu Li. “But the priest told Grandpa that the next chief candidate is my dad. How could it be someone from the outside world?”
“Priest!” The chief snapped out of his trance and looked at the priest. “Twenty years ago, you told me that Yishu sacrificed himself and only the chosen one was left. Right now… he is Yishu’s son, right?”
The priest said nothing.
However, the chief didn’t need him to admit it.
The truth was clear.
He looked at Gu Li with trembling eyes. He finally understood why the priest had been targeting Su Huiqing and the gang from the start. The priest even ignored Yu Shijin’s threat and chased them away. In the end, he even wanted them dead!
“You… you are Yishu’s son, right?” The chief turned to look at Gu Li, his voice trembling. “I… I am your grandfather. Did you see that your blood can open the ancestral grounds? You are recognized by the ancestral grounds. In the future, you will be the head of the Gu Family…”
“What?! Chief!” The priest finally raised his head with a terrifying expression. “His mother is an ordinary person at the foot of the mountain. Gu Li’s existence is the shame of our Gu Clan! The only mistake I have ever done in my life is not strangling him to death with my own hands! Letting those people have a chance…”
“I am a little tired. I want to go back first.” Gu Li didn’t look at them but looked straight at Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing looked up and threw a key to him. “Just nice, let’s go together.”
Yu Xiangyang and Qu Yan did not expect this either.
Gu Li was actually from this mysterious Gu Family.
However, Qu Yan recalled what Su Huiqing told her when she wanted to learn martial arts from Su Huiqing. It seemed like Qingqing already knew about it. No wonder… no wonder she said that Gu Li was not simple. If she didn’t learn well, the gap between them would only grow bigger.
If she was still an ordinary person, she would be worlds apart from Gu Li.
Qu Yan took a deep breath.
She followed closely behind Gu Li.
“There’s nothing much to see in this territory. Even if I really want to become stronger, I still want to work hard.” Yu Xiangyang stood behind Gu Li without thinking. “Let’s go back together.”
Gu Li looked at the three people standing beside him.
His initially angry heart suddenly calmed down at this moment. In the end, he looked at the head of the Gu Family. “Opening the clan grounds for you guys today is the last thing I do for you guys. Consider it as repaying your debt on behalf of my dad. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Gu Family.”
“Gu Li…” The chief didn’t expect Gu Li to leave without any hesitation. The door to the territory had already been opened, and he actually left just like that.
“Chief, Gu Li is leaving.” Gu Sheng saw Gu Li leaving with Su Huiqing without looking back and was a little nervous. “I will stop him!”
He immediately moved to leave.
If Gu Li was really chosen by the clan, then it meant that Gu Li was his cousin and a member of the Gu Clan!
“There’s no need to chase…” The chief reached out and stopped Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng’s eyes turned red. “Why? He is the head of the Gu Family. Go tell him that he will definitely stay!”
“Gu Sheng, how dare you!” The priest was furious!
“Dare?” The chief sighed. He looked in Gu Li’s direction and finally looked at the priest. “Look, Gu Li is someone beside Miss Su. Miss Su is someone whom even Elder Gu respects. Let him stay? His future is not something our Gu Family can catch up to. Priest, do you think he likes our Gu Family?”
The priest finally stopped and was stunned. At this moment, Hua Guangxuan looked at Yu Shijin. “Sister-in-law, who is she?”
