Chapter 64 The So-Called Alliance

Before long.

The Gu family's medical staff arrived, lifted the challenger, and sent him away.

The villa area finally quieted down.

"Little Gu, I admire you."

The two groups of people stood on two rooftops, basking in the same sunlight. Luo Yu smiled and said, "I originally thought these troubles would give you a headache for quite a while."

"They do give me a headache."

Gu Shen sat on the rooftop, watching Chen Li leave into the distance. He smiled as well, "But I have good luck... I met Chen Li."

Good luck.

Gu Shen wasn't being modest... He knew very well that if Chen Li hadn't offered to duel, he really wouldn't have had any other way. He would have had to hide from these guys, otherwise fighting them one by one wouldn't have been as simple as it was today.

Singling out the small fry who were ordered to cause trouble from behind the scenes was pointless.

Were they afraid of being beaten up?

They were afraid of being beaten up and not getting any benefits!

If he took action himself... these guys would make a big fuss even if they were beaten, so they could go back and ask Han Dang for a "treasure". But if it was Chen Li, it would be different.

Not only because the [Iron-Eating Tribe] were ruthless, but also because fighting Chen Li was completely different from fighting him.

Chen Li was fighting battles on Gu Shen's behalf. The number of people challenging him would only decrease.

If an S-rank personally welcomed the challenge.

The number of people would only increase!

"You comprehended the 'Breath of Spring'... how does it feel?" Gu Nanfeng asked with a smile.

"This breathing technique is top-notch." Gu Shen said seriously, "In just one day... my mental strength has undergone earth-shattering changes."

He had to admit it.

Some people are true geniuses.

Even after training in the Northern Continent for eight years and witnessing countless geniuses who had fought their way out of blood and fire... Gu Nanfeng had to admit that in the fields of "dreams" and "spirit," the potential these people displayed could not compare to Gu Shen.

From the moment Gu Shen entered the range of "Lanqie's" mental induction, Gu Nanfeng sensed the changes in the young man's mental strength. Compared to yesterday, his spirit was more condensed and more powerful.

Part of the reason was that Gu Shen had condensed his own [New World].

And the other part of the reason was that he was digesting the source quality of the Shrine Mountain.

"I've heard all about what happened last night."

Gu Nanfeng gently shook the document. After letting go, a strong wind blew.

These document papers were blown up in a chaotic manner by the wind.

In the end, they floated to the rooftop of the Spring Rain Pavilion, but they were neatly stacked without a single one missing, and swept into Gu Shen's palm.

Gu Shen glanced at it.

He smiled dumbfounded.

Last night, the only one of the five great families that didn't show up was the "Gu family," but in fact, the Gu family was also paying attention to his every move... Gu Shen was now very curious about how many [Wind Children] there were above Nagano, and how many people had the authority to mobilize them.

The Tribunal, the Prison, the Command Center, and the Federal Security Committee should all have [Wind Child] authority.

And among the five great families, it seemed that only the Gu family and the Bai family could mobilize [Wind Children]?

The Gong, Mu, and Li families... judging from last night's meeting, they didn't seem to have this power.

"By the way..."

Gu Shen put away the documents and asked with a smile, "The welcoming banquet prepared by the Gu family last night must have been very lively, right?"

The Gu family's absence naturally had its reasons.

It wasn't because they were "self-important" and arrogant.

But because the Gu family... had more important matters. The future head of the family, who had been drifting outside for eight years, had finally returned to Nagano. I'm afraid people from both the old and new factions had all arrived.

"Lively."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and shook his head, looked at Luo Yu, and said faintly, "But... it's all fake."

……

……

The Gu family's villa area in the northern suburbs of Nagano was very remote.

But the backs of several small villas were against a small mountain. It snowed heavily last night, and the mountain path was covered with a layer of white. In the distance, there was a faint sound of trickling water. Fatty Luo was indeed a clever man. Since the young master moved in... he had mobilized several sealed items to maintain the "temperature" around the villa area, so that the snow wouldn't melt, and the mountain scenery wouldn't be too desolate.

Gu Shen and Gu Nanfeng strolled alone on the mountain path.

This was the first time the two of them had truly been alone together.

"Although the [Wind Child] can see where you went and who you met... but the [Wind Child] can't hear what you said to them."

"So the document only marked your whereabouts."

"Are you trying to comfort me?" Gu Shen smiled, "I know there are things like [Earthworm]..."

[Wind Children] were used for seeing.

And [Earthworms] were used for hearing.

Gu Nanfeng smiled dumbfounded. "There are no secrets in Snow Forbidden City... I guess we all know that."

"Actually, it's more than just Snow Forbidden City?"

He suddenly said again, "As long as there's a place connected to the deep sea, there will be no secrets... We are billions of ants, and wherever we go, there will be traces. The Federation has ten thousand ways to know what we are doing and saying every day."

Gu Shen slowly looked at Gu Nanfeng.

This future head of the Gu family... asked with a relaxed tone and a smile, "This is actually a kind of sorrow, right?"

Gu Shen slowly raised his head.

Including this scene, the [Wind Children] were also watching.

However... Gu Nanfeng, like Uncle Gao, when his strength was strong enough, he could "blind" those annoying eyes staring at him in the sky.

Even if the Federation knew, there was nothing to say.

Fists were the greatest truth in Nagano City.

If you think this truth is not valid.

It's very simple... that is, your fist is not hard enough.

"The reason for choosing to talk here... is because a trick was left behind when it was built, at least there is still a little privacy." Gu Nanfeng gently tapped the wooden knife, and a faint glow vaguely seeped out from the mountains and forests.

The mansions in the capital city were covered by [Lanterns].

This villa area also has similar objects. In addition to this, plus... the release of [Lanqie's] domain!

Gu Shen felt gusts of chaotic wind passing over his head.

At this moment, the pictures that those [Wind Children] responsible for monitoring in the vault could capture were just a cluster of disordered and fluctuating air currents that swirled back and forth.

"Is this... the belated Gu family talk?"

Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. He thought of the scene when the other four families had an interview with him yesterday.

Sure enough, this was the grand finale.

Better late than never.

He also knew... sooner or later, the Gu family would have such a conversation about "himself."

"It's not that serious."

Gu Nanfeng shook his head, and he laughed mockingly, "After all... I shouldn't be considered a Gu family member in the literal sense now."

Gu Shen was a little confused.

"You are the same, and so am I. We came to Nagano to stop the 'Bill'."

He went straight to the point, "The Awakening Bill cannot be passed in East Continent. As for how it is in other continents... my hands can't reach that far, and I can't control it even if I want to. But I always have to try at my own doorstep."

Gu Shen knew... there must have been a problem with the dinner last night.

"To be honest, I felt very aggrieved at the dinner last night."

Gu Nanfeng said lightly, "Both the new and old factions came... but, compared to welcoming me, that dinner was more like a reunion between two groups of people. Everything that happened had nothing to do with me."

This was the reason for the previous self-deprecation.

The dignified young master of the Gu family... when he returned to Nagano, he only had a false reputation left.

The only one willing to run errands for him was "Fatty Luo," who still cared about the old feelings, while the others had never felt the so-called prestige of the young master.

Nanfeng was really not treating himself as an outsider when he was willing to tell himself this news.

Gu Shen said softly, "It's reasonable."

He left Nagano for eight years.

Without showing off his abilities, he wanted to be the "head of the family" as soon as he came back. How could those in power in the Gu family easily back down and submit?

"I don't care about the name of the head of the family."

Gu Nanfeng said slowly, "What I care about is the bill negotiation... but the interesting thing now is that if I don't care about the name of 'head of the family,' then I can't have a say in the bill negotiation."

This was indeed very interesting.

But it was also very real.

"What does Brother Nanfeng plan to do?"

"Actually, I have some old friends in the Northern Continent..." Gu Nanfeng smiled softly and said, "But when I left, I rejected many good intentions and retention, so I don't plan to use the connections in the Northern Continent this time."

He didn't tell Gu Shen what his identity and influence were in the Northern Continent.

021's files were highly confidential.

But Gu Shen knew... the "determination" behind Gu Nanfeng's words.

In the Northern Continent, he was the capable subordinate of the Rust Bone General, and he could become a dazzling leader in any fortress.

But back in his hometown.

Gu Nanfeng abandoned everything he had in the Northern Continent.

Since he chose to leave.

Then... he would solve the problem in his own way.

"I may need some help."

Gu Nanfeng looked at Gu Shen and said seriously, "The help of Hua Zhi." (Flower Sign)

At this time, Gu Shen vaguely understood.

The first stop for Gu Nanfeng's return to his hometown was not Nagano, but "the capital"... Perhaps it was because he had already guessed that today's situation would appear.

Fighting alone.

He always had to have teammates.

And Hua Zhi... was the most reliable and powerful ally he could find in East Continent.

Because of his efforts to turn the tide in the Apostle War, Gu Nanfeng had established a fairly reliable relationship of trust with Lu Nanzhi. This trip north to negotiate was also related to the bill, so Hua Zhi had no reason not to support it.

Gu Nanfeng brought three people with him on this trip back to Nagano.

Gu Shen, Lu Nanjin, and Xing Yun.

None of the three were simple characters.

Take the most inconspicuous Gu Shen as an example... On the surface, he was the "adjudicator" of the Tribunal, but in fact, those who knew what this S-rank had experienced after being deployed to the capital city, knew the whole situation clearly.

In a sense, Gu Shen was a heavyweight chess piece of "Hua Zhi."

His words and deeds were all related to Hua Zhi.

That "Madam Lu" was thousands of miles away, paying attention to every move in Nagano.

"How do you want Hua Zhi to help?" Gu Shen narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I need Hua Zhi to stand up and stand behind me." Gu Nanfeng said seriously.

"What does it mean to stand up?"

"Actually, it's very simple... Hua Zhi is far away, and Hua Zhi is also very close."

Gu Nanfeng said calmly, "In Nagano, you, her, and him... are Hua Zhi."

He took a deep breath and asked, "Can you persuade Madam about this matter?"

Gu Shen smiled.

Of course, he understood Gu Nanfeng's intentions.

The three "young people" who came from the capital city represented the three hands that Hua Zhi had stretched out.

Potential, economy, and technology.

I believe that so many big shots in Nagano thought that he was a chess piece.

A very heavy chess piece.

And they would never know...

He was not a chess piece.

But a chess player.

"No problem." Gu Shen said slowly, "Hua Zhi will stand behind you."
