The next day, in the main hall of the Song Family.
Most of the Song Family’s elders and the head of the Song Family, Song Tian, were seated here. Among them were quite a number of the younger generation of the Song Family.
Gu Xi, who was dressed in a green robe, was sitting upright here. He would drink tea from time to time.
This morning, he had been invited here by Song Tian’s messenger. As for what the matter was, he already had a rough idea in his heart.
“Young Friend Gu, regarding yesterday’s matter… it is due to the Song Family’s lack of manners. Please don’t take it to heart.”
After an unknown period of time, Song Tian smiled and looked at Gu Xi, his tone filled with apology.
The many Song Family elders all smiled embarrassedly, their expressions as awkward as they could be.
Gu Xi nodded his head with an expression on his face. “It’s fine. It’s also my good fortune to be able to spar with the disciples of the spirit array families.”
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere at the scene could not help but become even more awkward.
To put it nicely, it was a spar. Yesterday, it was purely one-sided crushing!
“May I know where Young Friend Gu comes from?” Song Tian dryly coughed twice and quickly changed the topic.
“It’s a poor and remote place. It’s not worth mentioning.” Gu Xi took a sip of tea. From the beginning to the end, he did not raise his gaze to look at Song Tian.
Even so, Song Tian did not dare to show the slightest bit of displeasure, for fear of angering the young man in front of him.
“Poor remote area…” Song Tian laughed bitterly, not knowing how to respond.
If a truly poor area could produce such a monster like Gu Xi, then they would not be called some spirit array aristocratic family.
When he thought of how Gu Xi had single-handedly defeated the younger generation of the Song Family, Song Tian’s face burned.
This was a blatant slap in the face!
Fortunately, he had sealed off the news in time after the incident and did not let the news spread.
Otherwise, the entire Water Cloud City would be in an uproar today, and the Song Family would have nowhere to put their face.
“If YoFng friend doesn’t have any other places to go for the time being, why don’t you consider staying in the Song Family?” Song Tian was silent for a moment. There was a faint smile on his weathered face as he looked at Gu Xi with anticipation.
He continued, “As long as you agree, my Song Family will definitely use all the resources we have to help you raise your cultivation level. The treasure trove can be opened to you at will, or even…”
Song Tian glanced at Song Qingluan on the other side. “If you don’t mind, the Young Miss can marry you too. She can be considered to be smaller than you in the family.”
Song Qingluan’s face turned red, and she felt a little resentful in her heart.
As the eldest daughter of the Song Family, she would naturally mind if she was small. However, with a monstrous genius like Gu Xi, her future achievements would definitely be limitless. At that time, there would definitely be colorful things surrounding her, being small was enough.
However… Recalling Gu Xi’s answer last night, she quietly sighed.
As soon as Song Tian’s voice fell, it instantly blew up the entire Song Family in the hall.
The elders and consecrators were still fine, and they did not look very surprised. After all, Gu Xi’s performance yesterday was already there.
However, the younger generation was not like that. Everyone’s faces were filled with shock, and many unfriendly gazes quietly fell on Gu Xi.
Among the younger generation, there were many who were in love with Song Qingluan. When they heard this news, they could not help but feel extremely displeased.
After all, who would not be in love with a woman with an extraordinary appearance and a gentle and kind personality? Moreover, she was the eldest daughter of the Song Family.
However, Gu Xi’s next reply shocked everyone even more.
“I refuse,” Gu Xi said very calmly.
These three simple words undoubtedly poured cold water on Song Tian and the other elders of the Song Family.
They could not figure out why they would refuse such a tempting offer when it was already put on the table.
Song Qingluan’s pretty face turned pale and her breathing was a little messy.
Although she already knew the result, she was still a little disappointed when she heard these words.
“Young Friend, do you have any dissatisfaction with these conditions?” After coming back to his senses, Song Tian hurriedly asked, “If Young Friend still has any other thoughts, feel free to bring them up. I will definitely do my best to fulfill them.”
Gu Xi shook his head. “There are no other conditions. It’s just a simple rejection.”
As she said this, Gu Xi raised his head and glanced at Song Tian with disdain.
He was not the only one. The attitude of everyone present had undergone a 180-degree change compared to yesterday.
He knew that this change came from the recognition of his strength and talent, but he did not like it. In fact, he hated it very much.
If it had not been for him who had suffered yesterday, if it had been any other normal cultivator, they would have already died here. At the very least, they would have been imprisoned by the Song Family, he would not be able to regain his freedom until his identity was investigated.
Song Tian looked at Gu Xi and subconsciously gritted his teeth.
As the head of the Song Family, he had never been looked down upon like this. Furthermore, it was from a junior.
If it were not for Gu Xi’s talent, he would have personally taught this arrogant kid a lesson.
“There’s no rush. It’s not too late to wait for Young Friend to think about it before making a decision.” Song Tian chuckled. The unhappiness in his eyes was hidden very deeply.
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
At the same time, a wild laughter suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
Song Tian frowned and looked outside the hall.
He saw a dozen people appear not far away. The source of the laughter was a middle-aged man in the center.
“Hu Lie!”
Recognizing the person, Song Tian slammed the table and instantly stood up. A fierce aura burst out from his body.
He was not the only one. All the members of the Song Family, young and old, were staring at the dozen or so people.
Gu Xi was the only one who was still sitting in his seat and drinking tea casually. He did not even raise his eyes.
In any case, all of this had nothing to do with him. He did not have the time to care so much about the other party’s matters.
“Family Leader Song, are you looking for a son-in-law?”
The middle-aged man called Hu Lie quickly brought his men into the main hall. He looked straight at Song Tian and laughed.
Hearing this, Song Tian coldly snorted and said in a deep voice, “Clan Master Hu, you don’t have to worry about our Song Family’s matters. We have an honored guest here today. Your Hu Clan is not welcome in the Song Mansion. Men, send them off!”
After his voice sounded, a few members of the Song Family immediately appeared in the crowd and indicated for the members of the Hu Clan to leave.
“You don’t know what’s good for you.”
Seeing that Song Tian did not give him any face, Hu Lie also withdrew his smiling expression. He casually threw out a spiritual energy pillar and pushed back the few members of the Song Family.
It happened so suddenly, and the few of them did not expect that Hu Lie would directly attack. All of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.
The next day, in the main hall of the Song Family.
