Chapter 716 Destiny
After the family dinner, the guests dispersed.
Although there are some twists and turns, they are generally at peace and can be regarded as "the host and the host and the host and the host and the host and the host are happy."
Late at night, in the study of the head of the Gu family.
Shangguan Ce and Gu Shouyan sat each other and cooked tea, and talked at night with candles.
The two grew up together and practiced together. In addition to being the head of the family, they are also old friends.
Although the Shangguan family is stronger than the Gu family, the gap is not too big.
Gu Shouyan is slightly older than Shangguan Ce.
Both of them have lived for hundreds of years and have experienced ups and downs. They have both interests and deep friendships.
Gu Shouyan is upright and always speaks out loud when he has something to do, saying in a deep voice: "You want to take back all the business of the Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Ce nodded, "The Shen family offered a high price, and I transferred it to them, which will be 20% more profits than our Shangguan family runs it by itself."
Gu Shouyan sneered, "The Shen family is so kind?"
Shangguan Ce said, "Whether it is kind or not, the interests are placed here."
"What interests?"
Shangguan Ce shook his head, "This cannot be said."
Gu Shouyan sneered, "What other benefits can there be? It''s just spirit stones, elixirs, connections... Oh, and there are quotas for the four major sects?"
Shangguan Ce remained silent.
Gu Shouyan was cooking tea himself, fiddling with the tea leaves in the tea jar.
Shangguan Ce''s eyes were slightly condensed and he sighed, "The Shen family must have come to find you too. Did you refuse?"
Gu Shouyan said "yes".
Shangguan Ce said, "This is a show of goodwill. Brother Gu, even if you don''t accept it, you should give some room for improvement..." Gu Shouyan had a cold face, "Those villains in the Shen family are useless to get along with each other."
Shangguan Ce shook his head, "In front of aristocratic families, only talk about interests, not virtue. You must first put virtue aside when doing things, otherwise it will be easy to act voluntarily and delay the development of the family."
“If you don''t talk, don''t talk. That''s your business, but don''t teach me how to do things." Gu Shouyan has a straight temper.
Shangguan Ce tentatively said, "The Shangguan family''s business..." Gu Shouyan waved his hand, "Take it all away. It was originally the wife of your Shangguan family who was taking care of it. If you want to take it back, just tell her."
" Most of my Gu family monks are from the Dao Tingshi Department and are not good at operating. These Taoist industries are only used to subsidize some household income. They are tasteless and it is a pity to abandon them. They have to bother Wan''er, which is not worth it."
Shangguan Ce breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Shouyan didn''t want to pay attention to him, so he cooked tea on his own. Looking at the tea atmosphere and focusing on it, he obviously did not take these gains and losses seriously.
The room was a little dull for a moment.
After a long time, Shangguan Ce''s eyes were slightly deeper and he sighed: "The Gu family... will be in trouble." Gu Shouyan was surprised when he heard this and raised his eyebrows.
He grew up with Shangguan Ce since childhood, and he knew exactly what Shangguan Ce''s virtue was.
This person is selfish, refined and self-interested.
But if it does not involve his own or the interests of the Shangguan family, he will be in love and speaks more frankly.
So although he disliked Shangguan Ce''s virtue and felt that he was too scheming, Gu Shouyan still had a great friendship with him over the years.
After all, when he reaches his level of cultivation and status, there are not many monks left.
Gu Shouyan asked: "Who is causing trouble for my Gu family? Shen family?" Shangguan Ce still shook his head, "You know what I said, you don''t know, I can''t say it." Gu Shouyan was very disappointed, poured himself a cup of tea and started drinking it slowly.
He did not make any mistakes for Shangguan.
Shangguan Ce had to do it himself and poured himself a cup.
The tea tastes a bit bitter and astringent, not a good tea.
But Gu Shouyan likes to drink this taste.

Gu Shouyan continued: "This is true for the head of the family, and the same is true for the family."
Shangguan family suddenly talks about ''roots and bones'', and they are afraid they will die in a blink of an eye."
Shangguan family does not talk about ''roots and bones'', even if they are strong for a while, their destruction will only take place." ??Shangguan strategy is slightly lost.
He has always regarded his elder brother as a tough guy, rigid in behavior, and ignorant incompetence.
But unexpectedly, he was not stubborn on the surface.
He actually understands many things.
And it seems that you can understand more clearly than yourself.
Shangguan Ce sighed in his heart, it was true that people could not behave like appearance.
He poured a cup of tea for Gu Shouyan and said calmly: "Brother Gu, please take care of yourself."
I hope that in the future, the Shangguan family and the Gu family will not take the path of being as strong as water and fire.
Gu Shouyan said "um" and took the tea and drank it.
At this point, basically everything that should be said has been finished.
The two of them drank tea on their own. Although they didn''t speak, they were not scheming each other, and the atmosphere eased a lot.
Gu Shouyan suddenly remembered something and looked at Shangguan Ce curiously, but didn''t ask.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
Gu Shouyan probably understood.
Sitting in the position of the head of the house, many things are not as simple as the surface.
He also understood Shangguan Ce''s mood.
"But," Gu Shouyan frowned, "What about Yu''er? Wan''er is just. Yu''er is your own grandson after all, so you won''t be, because Wan''er is even your grandson, right..." Shangguan Ce''s eyes were slightly deeper, his expression changed, and he seemed to have a hidden secret.
"It''s not convenient to say it, forget it." Gu Shouyan asked by the way, and he didn''t have to ask Shangguan Ce to answer.
After all, this is the family business of the Shangguan family.
Gu Shouyan poured himself a cup of tea and slowly started to sip it.
Shangguan Ce had a shadow on his face. After a long silence, he finally sighed and spoke slowly: "When Yu''er was born... I asked an ancestor from the Imperial Heaven Supervision to calculate his fortune for him." Gu Shouyan was stunned and frowned slightly.
Shangguan Ce continued, "Yu''er..."
He paused for a moment, closed his eyes deeply, and then slowly opened it, his tone became cold, "Yu''er''s natural destiny since he was born is a ''dead'', a broken body, not a living person..."
Gu Shouyan''s hand trembled, and his expression was shocked.
: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
Gu Shouyan sighed when he saw his expression, and his tone was still a little relieved. "Can''t you save it?" Shangguan Ce looked bitter, "No one can change things like fate."
Gu Shouyan felt a little nervous and stopped talking, but he knew the weight of this assertion.
After drinking tea, Shangguan Ce left.
Gu Shouyan sat alone at the table without drinking tea. He sat in a daze, and Yu''er''s innocent and well-behaved appearance appeared in his mind.
Gu Shouyan''s heart, which had been through vicissitudes of life, couldn''t help but feel a pain and sighed in a low voice: "Good child, but he has no good life..."
...Mo Hua had a big meal and stayed at Gu''s house for another night. The next morning, he was about to go back to Taixu Gate.
The four words "The blessings are deep" written by Mr. Xun are given to Wen Renwan in an ink painting.
Although Mr. Xun did not clearly say who to give it to, Mo Hua vaguely guessed that his intention was to give it to Aunt Wan.
Wen Renwan was also flattered when he took this calligraphy.
In the Renyi family in Ganzhou, the ancestor Dongxu was a top figure. Ordinary disciples had no chance to meet him, let alone receive a gift.
Wen Renwan originally wanted to give gifts to Mr. Xun, but he didn''t care about this little thing when he wanted to come to Mr. Xun.
So she packed a lot of food and drinks, as well as some second-grade array books and array pictures, and gave them all to Mo Hua.
All of them are the things that Mo Hua likes.
Mohua symbolically declined a few times, and then he happily accepted it with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Gu Changhuai also found the ink painting.
The two sat on the steps at the door and chatted for a few simple words.
"I have something to tell you," Gu Changhuai thought for a while and said, "Sometimes ago, a group of demon cultivators of unknown origins poured into the surrounding area of ??Ganxuezhou."
"Demon cultivators?" Mo Hua was stunned.
Gu Changhuai nodded, "The origin has not been found out yet. How many are there and how well they are in cultivation are still unclear."
