Gu Xian frowns while reading latest report from Elder Gu Yong. He stares Ji Yuan with a complicated look.

Gu Ming tilts his head. Ji Yuan looks confused.

Gu Xian asks, "May I ask Ji family intention?"

Ji Yuan says nothing to reply him.

Gu Xian explains, "Your family helped Ye family to supress us. Are you going to be our enemy too?"

Both Gu Ming and Ji Yuan are shocked. Especially the latter. He has wanted to propose marriage to Gu Ming next year.

Now their families have disputes. He must solve this matter first.

Ji Yuan apologizes, "I'm sorry for the troubles. I'll head back immediately and control the situation in my family."

He holds Gu Ming's hand and promises, "I'll be back soon. I'll take over Ji family. Make sure they behave well. Please wait for me."

"Okay."

Only one short reply. Gu Ming looks extremely calm. Only his reddened ears show his true emotions.

Gu Xian shakes his head. Gu Ming has fallen hard for that guy. Hopefully their families won't be enemies.

Ji Yuan leaves immediately. His future depends how he handles this tricky situation.

His family members have ruined several businesses belonged to Gu family. Unforgivable!

Gu Xian gathers up his team members.

He announces, "Ye family has created troubles for us. Our members aren't strong enough to handle them. I need your help."

Gu Ming nods his head.

Gu Wang comments, "We are family. Tell us what to do."

Gu Xian orders, "Gu Ming, you should go back and protect our #1 tea house in San Yang city."

It's their most profitable tea house from all their businesses.

Gu Ming nods his head. Gu Xian gives him some money as traveling expenses.

Gu Wang asks, "Should I go with him?"

"No. I need you to protect an Inn in a small town called Xun. It will be very profitable in the near future. It's located between three big cities."

Gu Xian smiles evilly when he adds, "Our dispute with Ye family started from buying this Inn. I'm hoping to make it into our base in this Continent. We can't loose it."

Gu Wang presses a fist to his left chest where his heart located.

He vows, "You could count on me, Patriarch."

Duan Lang corrects, "Us. I will go with you."

He offers a sack of items to Gu Xian.

Duan Lang explains, "You are going to Xuan Wu mountain again, aren't you? Please help send this sack to Yan Lei. He is an old friend of mine. He missed our appointment. Don't know where he went."

"Okay. Anything else?"

"The last item you needed. Yan Lei's Master might have it. You should ask him. Not easy to meet that old geezer."

"Thank you."

Their meeting barely finished when fifty cultivators show up.

The leader asks, "Which one is Gu Xian?"

Duan Lang confesses, "Me. What's your problem?"

"Ye family wants your head."

"Well, come and get it, moron!"
