54: C54 Gu Rou's Fall

C54 Gu Rou's Fall

Seemingly seeing through Gu Yuan's worries, Qin Xiaoyue said: "Don't worry, Uncle is a very open-minded person. This time, the two of you were betrayed by Black Turtle Empire, I believe you will never have any contact with them again."

"Also, we also take good care of your clansmen. You can rest assured, but Gu Dian's injury is too severe …"

"Gu Dian?!" Hearing this name, Gu Yuan was a little surprised. He did not expect that Gu Dian was still alive after suffering such heavy injuries.

Qin Xiaoyue nodded her head, "That's right, he's still alive, but his injuries are just too severe. Fortunately, he was already very strong, and this time, he was stimulated to the point where his strength broke through once again. Even my uncle said that the Gu family was truly amazing, and that they were all surprising fellows."

Hearing Qin Xiaoyue's explanation, Gu Yuan's heart finally calmed down. It seemed that Lin Wuyang wasn't going to hold the Gu family accountable because of this matter.

It was a great fortune in misfortune.

"Also, when can you move? My uncle wants to see you."

Hearing that Lin Wuyang wanted to see him, Gu Yuan's heart was slightly moved. He could probably guess what Lin Wuyang wanted to say. He replied: "I can go see him after I finish eating."

Qin Xiaoyue frowned when she saw Gu Yuan move. It was obvious that he was seriously injured. She wanted to make Gu Yuan wait for a few days, but she was too shy to say anything. Plus, she was angry at Gu Yuan before she left.

Staring at the heavily closed door, Gu Yuan could only smile wryly. He was confused as to what was wrong with Qin Xiaoyue and why she always treated him strangely.

Not long after they finished their meal, a maid appeared and took away the rest of the stuff before bringing Gu Yuan to look for Lin Wuyang.

The Zhongzhou Prefecture Center was very big and also very gorgeous. What made Gu Yuan surprised was that the entire building was shaped like a tower, and under the lead of a servant girl, Gu Yuan had no choice but to climb up the stairs.

Gu Yuan was injured, so every step he took caused him to suck in a breath of cold air. Lin Wuyang was at the top of the tower, which made Gu Yuan miss the elevator in his previous life.

He finally reached the top of the pagoda with much difficulty and arrived at the door of Lin Wuyang's room. Gu Yuan's forehead was already slightly sweating from the pain.

As the maid pushed open the door, Gu Yuan finally saw the Master of Zhongzhou Prefecture.

At this moment, Lin Wuyang was sitting behind his desk, reading a document. His expression was focused and serious, and the entire room was silent. Gu Yuan could only stand there and not make any noise. He could only look at Lin Wuyang.

It was a tall and sturdy man. He was dressed in a casual manner, yet he exuded an aura of superiority. Even though he was just sitting there and reading the documents, he still made people feel a sense of oppression.

When he finally finished reading the document in his hand, Lin Wuyang raised his head and Gu Yuan finally saw Lin Wuyang's face clearly.

He had a square face with a short beard on his upper lip, giving off a righteous aura.

"You are Gu Yuan?"

"Eh, it's me."

Lin Wuyang suddenly squinted his eyes and asked curiously, "Brat, I really want to know how you managed to please my Xiao Yue and make her sacrifice everything to save you."

"Eh …." Lin Wuyang's question directly shocked Gu Yuan. He thought in his heart, "Me? To please her? "From her attitude, it seems that she has a grudge against me, alright …"

Seeing the stunned look on Gu Yuan's face, Lin Wuyang speechlessly patted his forehead and said, "It's over, there's another jute."

Gu Yuan: "..."

"Forget it, Xiao Yue is already big, I can't do anything about it. Just let her be." Then, Lin Wuyang's expression became serious. He looked at Wu Tie and said: "This time, our Zhongzhou Prefecture Center lost a lot because of you guys. What do you think we should do?"

Gu Yuan was surprised for a moment, but he quickly said, "The Gu family is gone, and a few twists and turns have caused even greater losses. I'm afraid we don't have the ability to compensate you right now."

However, Lin Wuyang smiled and said, "It's fine, you still have people."

Gu Yuan was stunned once again, as if he didn't understand what Lin Wuyang meant.

Seeing that Gu Yuan did not understand, Lin Wuyang took the initiative to explain: "How about this, you join our Zhongzhou Prefecture Center and serve me. Just treat it as making up for the loss this time."

He thought Lin Wuyang wanted to talk to him about signing a series of treaties on inequality, but the other party just asked him directly.1

Gu Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but he heard Lin Wuyang continue, "Brat, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Let me finish."

He looked at Lin Wuyang and waited for him to continue, but in his heart, he made up his mind that no matter what the other party said, he would not join. With the system in his hands, as long as he had a certain amount of time, he would definitely become one of the top existences in the continent, and there was no need for him to join any organization.

Lin Wuyang laughed: "It's not because I want you to directly join my Zhongzhou Prefecture Center, but because I want you to serve me for three years. If you don't want to stay three years later, I can let you have your freedom."

"In addition …" Seeing that Gu Yuan was not moved at all, Lin Wuyang continued: "During these three years, our Zhongzhou Prefecture Center can promise to help you protect the Gu family and not restrict your freedom. You can only help us if you need help."

Hearing Lin Wuyang's conditions, Gu Yuan was a little tempted. Right now, he was under someone else's protection, and he didn't know how to repay the favor he received from Zhongzhou Prefecture Center. Moreover, he was about to go out to gain experience, so he obviously couldn't bring the entire family along.

Although the Gu family wasn't important to him, it was Gu Rou's heart and soul. Gu Yuan couldn't possibly give up and only joined Zhongzhou Prefecture Center for three years, and also didn't restrict his freedom to return the favor. He could also give the Gu family a safe place to live.

Seeing Gu Yuan's interest, Lin Wuyang increased his bargaining chip once again, and said: "Also, as long as you agree, I can let you choose some cultivation resources from my Zhongzhou Prefecture Center's treasury."

"Alright, I agree!"

Gu Yuan had no reason to refuse such a good thing.

Seeing Gu Yuan agree, Lin Wuyang did not seem surprised at all. He directly took out a contract and handed it to Gu Yuan with a smile and said, "I had already guessed that you would agree. Alright, since we have signed this contract, I will arrange for someone to lead you to pick the resources you need for your training."

Seeing that the other party directly took out the contract, Gu Yuan cursed in his heart. It seemed that the other party had already decided to eat him.

Although he was a bit depressed, Gu Yuan still took the contract and read through it carefully before signing his name.

After taking the contract, Lin Wuyang smiled and said, "Alright, little brat, you can leave now. When you go out, tell the guard at the door that he will take you to pick the resources."
