Chapter 128 Gaining Recognition
"Husband?! A Nine-Star Dou Sheng?!"
Seeing Gu Xun'er's happy expression, Gu Yuan could hardly believe his eyes and ears. "Xun'er, what you just said is true?"
“Father, everything Xun’er said is true, there is not a single lie.”
Gu Xun'er said to Gu Yuan with a very serious expression, and then a unique aura of a nine-star Dou Sheng surged out from her body.
"Phew... A miracle, this is truly a miracle..."
Sensing the aura emanating from Gu Xun'er, Gu Yuan had no choice but to believe her. He first gestured for Gu Xun'er to stop, then turned to Qiu Hougong with a smile and said, "I am Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan, and Xun'er's father. May I ask your name, young friend?"
"My surname is Qiu, and my given name is Hou Gong..."
Qiu Hougong, exuding an imposing aura, bowed to Gu Yuan, then waved his hand and presented two exquisite jade bottles to Gu Yuan from a distance, saying, "Uncle, this is a small gift that I have prepared for you. I hope you will accept it."
"Oh, a gift?"
Not surprised by the aura that Qiu Hougong had just emitted, Gu Yuan reached out and drew the jade bottle to the air above his palm, asking, "What's inside?"
"It's just twenty Grade 9 Longevity Pills, I hope Uncle won't find them too much."
Qiu Hougong said with a smile.
"Oh, a Grade Nine Longevity Pill..."
After hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Gu Yuan first nodded subconsciously, but he immediately became agitated. "Wait! You mean a ninth-grade Extension Pill?! Ninth-grade?!"
"If Uncle finds it hard to believe, he might as well open it and see for himself."
As Qiu Hougong spoke, he directly sealed off the surrounding space.
"No need, I trust Xun'er's judgment..."
After storing the jade bottle in his spatial ring, Gu Yuan regained his previous smile and spoke to Qiu Hougong. Then he turned around and broke open the space that Qiu Hougong had sealed off, saying, "Everyone, please come inside with me for a chat."
"Alright, Uncle, please..."
Qiu Hougong spoke first, and then the group, led by Gu Yuan, arrived at the ancient clan's reception room.
"Please, everyone, have a seat..."
Seated in the main seat, Gu Yuan first chatted with Qiu Hougong and his group for a while, then said to Qiu Hougong, "Young friend Qiu, I have some things I would like to discuss with you privately. Would you be willing to join me for a talk?"
"How could I refuse my uncle's invitation? Please."
Qiu Hougong smiled and then the two of them walked together toward the study.
Upon entering the study, Gu Yuan first invited Qiu Hougong to sit down, and then said, "Young friend Qiu, I see that you are no more than a hundred years old, yet you have such strength at such a young age. I imagine your master must also be an extraordinary figure."
"Uncle, you are joking. This junior has no teacher..."
Qiu Hougong replied with a smile, and then briefly told Gu Yuan about his origins from Douluo Continent.
After hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Gu Yuan, who was greatly shocked, nodded silently. Then his expression suddenly became serious. "I can ignore everything else, but there is one thing you must remember: do not do anything to hurt Xun'er, understand?"
"Uncle, rest assured, I would never do such a thing."
Qiu Hougong assured him.
"Huh? He still calls me 'Uncle'?"
Gu Yuan smiled and reminded him.
"Father-in-law, please accept my bow."
Qiu Hougong immediately changed his words, and he quickly stood up and bowed to Gu Yuan.
"Hahaha, son-in-law, no need for formalities, son-in-law, no need for formalities..."
Gu Yuan laughed a few times, then helped Qiu Hougong up and said to him, "Let's go, Xun'er and the others will be coming to find us soon."
