Dragon Monarch
Chapter 214 - Proposal
The Gu Clan
Lin Yan's name made Gu Rong and the three Elders put on a serious face. Their gazes were now fixed on Lin Yan who looked relaxed the entire time.
“What does this mean Patriarch? Why should this kid? Did you forget that he was the cause of all the things that befell the Gu clan happening?” Elder Gu Rong put on a dark face as he stared towards Lin Yan.
And so did the other three elders. Naturally they disliked Lin Yan for being a disaster bearer for the Gu clan.
Lin Yan's brows rose slightly upon hearing that. He admitted that it was the problem a year ago. But, is it necessary to bring up the events that have happened? After all since the Gu clan moved to the Moon Kingdom, the Gu clan must have gotten a lot of things because it was made special by the Moon Kingdom, it was also because of the relationship of the Gu clan with the Li clan who was the manager of the Alchemist Association.
And the four Elders did not understand that they were all valued for their relationship with the Li clan.
“What do you mean talk like that Elder Gu Rong?” Gu Shen asked with a frown on his face.
“You must obey the way our ancestors guarded the bloodline of the Gu clan!” Reply to Elder Gu Rong and looked at the other three Elders for an opinion.
The three Elders nodded in agreement with Elder Gu Rong's words. Naturally they wanted to do the way their ancestors had already made to keep the bloodline pure.
“Then, what do you want to say Elder Gu Rong? I can't believe that you're just going to explain that.” This time, the Patriarch of the Gu clan opened his voice again knowing that Elder Gu Rong had other requests besides forbidding the marriage of clan members to outsiders.
“I saw that the current Gu Yin had reached the sixth stage of the Earth Realm which meant that he was considered a top-class genius of the Gu clan. In order to produce an even better offspring, I suggested that Gu Yin marry Gu Lang, one of the genius youths in the Gu clan. I'm sure their descendants will bring glory to the Gu clan later!” Elder Gu Rong immediately said his intentions.
Everyone in the room was shocked by Elder Gu Rong's request especially for Gu Yin.
“Better I don't marry for life than to be with that person!” Gu Yin said with a dark face while staring towards Elder Gu Rong.
“Oh? Aren't you willing to contribute to the Gu clan? I wonder if you are a member of the Gu clan or not.” Reply Elder Gu Rong glanced towards Gu Yin.
“Don't talk like Elder Gu Rong! Do you want to provoke our anger?” This time it was Gu Mien who spoke in a very cold tone.
“Do you all not wish to make progress for the Gu clan? This was for the sake of the clan, all the previous Patriarchs had also done the same! Isn't that so Patriarch?” Asked Elder Gu Rong staring towards the Patriarch of the Gu clan.
The Gu clan patriarch fell silent. It was true what Elder Gu Rong said. However, even though he was a Patriarch, he remained fair to his clan members and family members.
“But, I cannot impose my will on Yin'er. The path of his life is he who chooses, not me.” Continue Patriarch of the Gu clan who made Elder Gu Rong's smile fade away.
The members of the Gu Yin family smiled all over because they naturally knew how the Patriarch of the Gu clan was.
“What do you mean Patriarch? Are you unwilling to advance the Gu clan? Our four Elders came with good intentions this time, why don't you consider it? Aside from Gu Lang, are there any other Gu clan members that are suitable?” Elder Gu Rong asked trying to suppress his request once again.
“You're right, Gu Lang is one of the talented youths of the Gu clan who has reached the level of the first stage Sky Realm at the age of 22. But still I can't force anything.” The Gu clan patriarch shook his head and tried to remain patient facing his clan members.
Elder Gu Rong's face grew darker and darker hearing that. As he was about to speak, a voice he did not expect sounded.
“Jenius at 22 years old with a first stage Sky Realm cultivation level? If he's considered a genius, then what am I? I am only 16 years old and have reached the seventh level of the Earth Realm. Soon I will break through too.” This time Lin Yan spoke and continued, “Again, I am not like a clan member or Sect who started cultivating at the age of 12, I started the cultivation path at the age of 14.”
Lin Yan's words made the four Elders speechless on the spot. Of course they were aware of what Lin Yan meant. If Gu Lang was considered a genius, then Lin Yan could already be called a genius amongst geniuses.
“This is none of your business, boy! You are an outsider and have no right to speak of affairs in the Gu clan!” Reply Elder Gu Rong coldly.
“Why is this none of my business? What if it's like this? You know not if Patriarch, Grand Elder and Elder Gu Shen wanted to match me up with Gu Yin. Let me fight with someone named Gu Lang to determine the eligibility. If I lose, I'll back off. Simple right? This part is an advantage to the Gu Lang you mentioned. He is six years older than me and the other advantage for him is his cultivation level which has reached the level of the first stage Sky Realm.” Lin Yan made a proposal with a smile on his face.
The Patriarch, the Great Elders of the Gu clan, Gu Shen, Gu Mien and Gu Lan were only silent when they heard Lin Yan make a proposal. Of course they knew what Lin Yan was like. Even a year ago, Lin Yan had killed one strong cultivator, namely the Patriarch of the Meng clan.
And also, the Patriarch, the Great Elders of the Gu clan as well as Gu Shen already knew how the result was just staring towards Xia Yue'er who was playing alone on Lin Yan's shoulder regardless of their conversation.
“Good! We accept your offer! Don't regret it if you lose the boy's arm! Tomorrow you will fight with Gu Lang!” Said Elder Gu Rong with a hint of killing intent. He immediately stood up and walked out of the room followed by the other Three Elders with a cold face as he stared towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan simply raised the corner of his lips. “You dare to issue killing intent on me? See what I'm going to do!” His inner.
“Who Gu Lang?” Asked Lin Yan to Gu Yin who was next to him who put on an annoyed face every time.
“He's Elder Gu Rong's son.” Reply Gu Yin with a pouting face for hating someone named Gu Lang so much.
“Oh? I wanted to ask you guys, rather ask for permission. Can I clean up Gu Lang?” Asked Lin Yan who made everything inside the room speechless as they naturally understood Lin Yan's request was to clear up their own clan members.
