“Father, this grade of spirit array doesn’t seem to make sense, right?”
Song Qingluan looked at the middle-aged man in the leader’s seat with a slightly displeased expression.
The middle-aged man chuckled and lightly said, “The mystic-grade spirit array’s grade isn’t considered low.”
Seeing that Song Qingluan opened her mouth and still wanted to argue, the middle-aged man immediately used his eyes to signal for her to stop.
In front of so many clansmen, Song Qingluan had no choice but to give up.
!!
After all, her father was the current head of the Song Family. In front of the clansmen, it was better not to let him lose face.
“It seems that I can only privately compensate Young Master Gu after this,” Song Qingluan glanced at Gu Xi by the side and said to herself.
As the eldest daughter of the Song Family, she still had a few high-grade spirit arrays in her hands. When the time came, she could let Gu Xi choose one.
At the same time, the surrounding members of the Song Family were still relentlessly questioning Gu Xi.
Just now, Gu Xi’s unintentional pouting was clearly captured by them. As a powerful spirit array family, they naturally would not allow anyone to look down on the spirit array given by their Song Family, even if it was indeed a mystic-grade spirit array.
In their eyes, being able to obtain the spirit array given by their Song Family was already a blessing that Gu Xi had cultivated for eight lifetimes.
“Since you all insist on me telling the truth…”
The crowd’s questioning continued to ring in his ears, and Gu Xi’s expression gradually darkened, “I really look down on this thing given by your Song Family.”
As his voice fell, Gu Xi smiled innocently and casually threw the spirit array on the ground.
“What bullsh*t Song Family? Do you really think that just because you have the name of a spirit array family, your tail can go up to the sky?” Gu Xi opened his mouth once again and his words were merciless. With just one sentence, he scolded the entire Song Family.
Although he did not want to cause trouble, it did not mean that he was afraid of trouble.
Since these people were so aggressive, he did not need to be polite to them.
“This Kid… What did he say just now?”
“He seemed to be scolding us, right?”
Everyone was stunned by Gu Xi’s sudden words.
In the entire Water Cloud City, they had never heard anyone who dared to say such words to their Song Family.
Moreover, he said it in the hall of the Song Family.
Did this kid want to die?
This was the thought that flashed through everyone’s mind.
“I’m talking about you guys. A group of people who have come into contact with a spirit array have the nerve to call themselves a spirit array aristocratic family?”
Gu Xi’s expression was calm, as if he was talking about an extremely normal matter.
Indeed, compared to the several heaven-grade spirit arrays that he had learned in three days, this group of people who called themselves spirit array aristocratic families were indeed shallow.
“Hehe, it is indeed as I expected.”
At this moment, Song Tianliang, who had not spoken all this while, suddenly chuckled.
Hearing this, everyone looked at his position with a puzzled expression.
They saw him slowly stand up, fanning the folding fan in his hand as he paced back and forth. He continued with a rather confident tone, “Previously, I had already felt that it was strange. Qingluan was attacked in such a remote and secluded alley. Why did you coincidentally appear there?”
Gu Xi raised his brows but did not explain.
He could not say that he appeared there because he did not want to queue up at the city gate, right?
Moreover, a coincidence was a coincidence. What kind of explanation did he need?
Seeing that Gu Xi did not speak, Song Qianliang’s heart became more and more certain. He folded his fan and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man in the leader’s seat. He said in a deep voice, “I hope that family head can clearly see that this person is definitely the accomplice of those evil people from the Hu Family. The so-called ‘helping out’must have been premeditated. He must have used this opportunity to get close to the Qingluan and gain the Song Family’s trust!”
When he said this, everyone present could not help but nod their heads in agreement.
Even Song Qingluan subconsciously looked at Gu Xi, a trace of doubt flashing in the depths of her eyes.
In this Water Cloud City, the Song Family was not the only spiritual array family. The Hu Family was also a spiritual array family with a long history.
For many years, the two families had been competing for all kinds of resources in Water Cloud City. It was common for them to fight openly and secretly. It was not surprising for them to use such methods.
The only one who was surprised was perhaps Gu Xi himself.
What Hu Family? What premeditated? This made Gu Xi, who did not know anything, a little confused. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
However, Gu Xi’s silence made everyone think that he had tacitly agreed.
Many people even stood up emotionally. If it was not in front of the family head, they would have attacked Gu Xi long ago.
Over the years, many members of the Song Family had died at the hands of the Hu Family.
The hatred between the two families had long reached the point of irreconcilable hatred.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. In short, I’m not a member of the Hu Family.” Gu Xi shook his head, then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
In his opinion, there was no longer a need to stay here.
“Stop right there!” seeing that Gu Xi was about to leave, song Qianliang hurriedly shouted.
Gu Xi ignored him and continued to stride away.
“Stop him!”
As soon as song Qianliang finished speaking, more than ten Song Family guards immediately came forward and blocked the door.
“Get lost!” Gu Xi shouted in a deep voice, and an invisible spiritual power rushed towards the door, instantly forcing the guards to retreat.
However, before he could take a few steps, a few more figures appeared in front of him.
He raised his head and looked up. These people were all old men, and they were all dressed luxuriously. It was obvious that they had a high status in the Song Family.
“Kid, surrendering is perhaps the best way for you right now. Don’t give up your life for your bravado!”
“That’s right. As long as you cooperate with our investigation obediently, if you’re really not sent by the Hu family, then I’ll naturally let you go!”
Two of them chimed in with a stern voice, as if they had already arranged Gu Xi’s next itinerary.
In short, without our permission, you can’t go anywhere!
“Your Song Family… really has a lot of prestige!”
At this moment, Gu Xi’s expression was as gloomy as water, and the anger in his heart was already burning fiercely.
If he had not forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart, he would have already killed everyone present on the spot.
“I’ll tell you one last time. If you step aside now, it’s still not too late.” Gu Xi’s voice was extremely low, “If not, you’ll bear the consequences.”
These short words echoed in the hall.
Everyone present did not think much of it, and only Song Qingluan, who was not far behind, heard it.
For some reason, she had a feeling in her heart that if the Song Family offended this young man today, it would be too late for regrets in the future!
“Hahahaha, only an ignorant brat like you dares to speak like this.”
One of the elders laughed disdainfully. “I want to see how you can walk out of this hall today!”
