Gu Family Past (1) Chapter 494
Gu Qi glanced at his uncle, Gu San, and seeing that he had nothing to say, continued speaking to Guyan…
It turned out that Gu Qi’s family, like their ancestors, was also one of the more formidable aristocratic families among the Hidden Clan, besides the Seven Great Families.
Although their force and heritage were not as robust as those of the Seven Great Families, they were second only to them…
The Gu Family was an Alchemy Family.
Their ancestors had left behind a Mysterious Alchemy Secret Record that ensured the quality of the Refined Pills produced by the Gu Family was exceptional.
They were greatly favored by the Hidden Clan cultivators, and this made the Gu Family increasingly prosperous and flourishing…
Gu Minxing, the father of Gu San, was the 222nd Generation Patriarch of the Gu Family.
His generation only had one male heir, himself, while Gu San had 12 aunts who were as beautiful as flowers…
At that time, they were called the ‘Twelve Flowers of the Gu Family’…
Of course, not all of them were born to Gu Minxing.
Gu Minxing had two brothers who together only had daughters, while Gu Minxing himself had two daughters and one son…
Therefore, Gu Minxing was the only ‘green leaf’ among twelve sisters, and due to being the youngest and the sole heir, he was extremely loved by the Gu Family.
Moreover, Gu San’s father had exceptional talent in pill refining and was considered a fortunate man…
Moreover, after Gu Minxing married, he had three sons in succession—Gu San being the youngest, with an older brother Gu Yi and the second Brother Gu Ting above him…
The strength of the Gu Family also increased dramatically, and everything was joyous and smooth sailing!
After Gu Minxing stepped down, Gu Yi inherited the position of the Patriarch.
Gu Yi married quite late, and his little brother, Gu Ting, was the first to marry and have children, giving birth to two sons and three daughters for the Gu Family.
After Gu Yi secured his position as the Patriarch, he had a son and a daughter—the daughter and eldest son being two years old—while Gu San had not married yet…
Gu Qi was the youngest son of Gu San’s second brother, Gu Ting.
By the time it came to Gu Qi’s generation, there were seven people in total, thus he was named Gu Qi for being the youngest…
The Gu Family could be said to have been flourishing across several generations…
Until that year, during the Alchemy Conference that the Hidden Clan held every five years, Gu Yi was extremely fortunate to win first place.
Suddenly, the Gu Family was thrust into the limelight…
At the same time, for some unknown reason, the existence of the Gu Family’s Mysterious Alchemy Secret Record was leaked…
Suddenly, the Gu Family became extremely busy, with visitors and people sneaking in at night increasing by the day, leaving the Gu Family with no solution at hand…
Until that night, because Gu Qi was young and mischievous, he insisted, despite it being late, on dragging his uncle, Gu San, to the Back Mountain to catch a cheetah that had injured him during the daytime…
Left with no choice, Gu San accompanied Gu Qi, but not long after the two had left, the Gu Family faced a major disaster.
By the time they noticed the blaze and hurried back, they only saw Gu Yi’s wife in tears, holding the corpse of Gu Yi’s only son as she fled.
Just as they were about to follow, they saw a group of people in black clothes chasing after her…
Gu San had a bad feeling and quickly hid Gu Qi to the side, warning him not to get discovered, then he chased after them.
He followed the men in black clothes and his sister-in-law to a cliff…
But he only saw his sister-in-law alone, killed by the people in black clothes, her body severed in two on the ground.
His sister-in-law’s child, a son only a year older than Gu Qi, was nowhere to be seen…
Filled with rage, Gu San desperately fought against the group of men in black,
