Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Tea gathering 2
After giving Gu Lin Ju permission, He walked slowly towards the Martial arts Hall, thinking about the Gu family as a whole.
This move to {Iron Crow City} could be said to be a temporary fix.
He has been thinking long and hard about how to buy some time for the clan.
And It just so happened that this Invitation Gu Lin Ju showed him earlier, provided him with an inspiration.
Presently, he was just entering the mid level of the Nascent soul realm and given the amount of power or improvement he gained, he could only imagine how powerful those peak monsters were, those are his present target.
To get to the peak of the Nascent soul realm and reach that vague threshold.
Ji Hung and Ji Wan were already in the Nascent soul realm, boosting the overall power of the clan, but it doesn't change the fact that the clan was lacking the manpower to control all of this stolen assets.
'It won't be long before Gu Yu Xing breaks into the Nascent soul realm, maybe around 6 months?' he glanced at some clan members sparring in the distance.
'Ju er, is still far from it... I guess I have to start recruiting secretly, probably have the have the players do some kidnapping as a weekly quest or something, maybe use a contribution points system' He kept on making plans but however, their current situation, what the clan is lacking the most is precisely time!.
Gu Lin Fang has never been a passive person. Instead of hoping people would just forget them all together, he would take the initiative to buy time.
So his next plan is to use this next faction gathering to show some muscles, mount pressure on the righteous path and Nangong Jiang, so they'll be more cautious, even create friendly relations with some dark families.
To put it plainly, it is to deter Cui Shu Lan and the city lord!.
Gu Lin Fang kept thinking, all the way to the martial arts hall and by the time he arrived, he had already finalized some details.
{Martial Hall}
After the players noticed Gu Lin Fang coming with Qin Feng, they were discussing in full swing.
The arrival of Gu Lin Fang made the hall suddenly quiet.
And as though they had rehearsed for ages, they all bowed neatly to meet the salute: "we have seen Lord Patriarch."

Fragrant Tea house,
At this time, any member of the younger generation that mattered, were already present at this time.
The sound of the Guqin spread across the establishment and some dancers provided entertainment.
The waiters shuttled back and forth, as different kinds of discussion took place amongst the cliques that already forming.
The said event was yet to start, as more people trooped in.
Gu Lin Ju came down from her carriage and admired the exterior of the fragrant Tea house, behind her was her Uncle Ji Wan.
Dressed in her bright red Han Fu dress with light sandals, She opens her umbrella as she Shields herself from the Sun.
"Uncle, the place is beautiful"She says with a small smile, but soon resumed with a cold appearance.
Gu Ji Wan only laughed lightly but a voice came from the side and said,
"indeed, Lord Huang Yao Dao is really a man of personality."
The one who spoke was a young man that looked like he was 23 years old, he had a scholarly vibe and was dressed like one. His light blue clothes gave him a gentle look but Ju er didn't look impressed.
She gave him a side glance before heading into the establishment.
Gu Ji Wan nodded in satisfaction, his attitude towards this niece of his seemed to improve again.
__________
Unsurprisingly, there were players hanging around in the vicinity, who were watching the place, hoping for a good show.
They kept scanning different NPCs with enthusiasm as they gossip about what was happening around.
"Hahaha look, that green grade scholar tried talking to that purple grade Npc!".
"He wants to eat soft rice, f*cking toad"
"Dude chill, why are you taking it personal?!?".
"GODDESS!!!!!"
"That's the fourth purple grade Npc in 40mins, this one seems to be from the Gu family?!!"
"Investigate!"
"With my teeth?, F*ck gimme tasks...why are you all going to drink tea ah!".
_________
The scholar glanced at Gu Lin Ju weirdly, before heading in to drink silently without speaking.
Upon entering, Gu Lin Ju began listening to the chats of these Young men and ladies subconsciously, honestly, she was hoping to see if she could get any useful information.
'Today, I came to this place, which can be considered the right thing' She thought to herself upon getting some news on the Lu family young Master, without hesitation, she began searching for him, in hopes of finding a chance to kill him.
It didn't take long for her to find him, as he was found in the center-most table roaring loudly in the discussion taking place.
"I think what Miss Bai said is too biased!, How can you keep an empty chair for a Gu family member that's not even here, why don't you let me sit down for a while, if they arrive I'll stand up immediately."
Hearing his words, Bai Fu Mei frowned slightly and before she could even speak, another person added, "Yes, yes, there's no need to be so strict... besides I doubt if that person is worthy enough to sit with us"
"Huh? You are trying to advise me?" Bai Fu Mei's frown only got deeper upon hearing Huang Yao shi support the young Master Lu Ba Shang.
And She couldn't just completely ignore Huang Yao shi.
For one, his family own the place and Yao shi himself is rather powerful, he's at the sixth level of the foundation building realm.
Secondly, once she releases the seat, it would be an act of weakness on her part, the Huang family is on the side of the righteous path and she was from one of the dark families.
So she can only...
The reason She organized this whole event, was to create an opportunity to make friends with Gu Lin Ju, but who knew the extras would start expressing their dissatisfaction before the main guest arrived.
So she decided to give them a piece of her mind.
"Who says that this Gu Lin Ju isn't worthy?." Ju er says as she headed towards the table slowly, Gu Ji Wan, whom was always by her side, was nowhere to be found.
She paused, glancing at everyone on the table before stopping at the Lu family young Master's face, She sneered before finally saying, "Are you even worthy?".
"You!!" Before He could retort, Gu Lin Ju gracefully sat on the spared seat and thanked Bai Fu Mei, "Thank you for the invitation, Sister Bai, your arrangements are wonderful".
She smiled slightly while speaking, pretending the red young Master wasn't there.
Lu Ba Shang subconsciously broke the tea cup in his hand as he spat Gu Lin Ju's name through gritted teeth.
"Gu...Lin...Ju!"
Gu Lin Ju's expression suddenly turned cold, she glared at Lu Ba Shang while releasing her cultivation aura, just like Gu Lin Fang did in front of her before, she focused everything on Lu Ba Shang and her pupils turned red...
"Is my name something that can come out of your mouth casually?, Are you tired of that tongue of yours?" Her cold words spread across the now quiet tea house.
Lu Ba Shang's face paled immediately, he didn't think that, Gu Lin Ju who was by far his junior had already broken through to the third Level of the foundation building realm, the information he had said she was only at the 9th level of the Qi gathering realm.
What could he possibly do at this time, he was only at the first level of the foundation building realm and has been stuck there for many years, he always felt he could still be considered a genius but....
Huang Yao shi's eyes flashed with interest but he soon put up an amicable expression, "Miss Gu, calm your anger"
Instead of responding normally, Gu Lin Ju asked with a smile, "Young Master Huang, what do you think Jianghu is?".
"Haha, does this matter now?, Or does the Eldest lady of the Gu family know better than me?"
Barely holding back a sneer, Gu Lin Ju said, "This lady dare not say or speak falsely, I may not about Jianghu but you definitely don't know as much as my father.
I have listened to father for many years, and I have developed some opinions of my own."
Gu Lin Ju didn't like to perform the act of hiding daggers behind a smile, she has always been very unruly and if she doesn't like you, she will definitely let you know completely!.
"Just relying on him?" Huang Yao shi suddenly laughed but soon collected himself.
From what he knows, her father is a nobody that was only making a name for himself recently, his Huang family wasn't taking Gu Lin Fang seriously at all.
'Silly girl, watch how they'll take care of him tomorrow'.
He glanced at Gu Lin ju who looked like she was ready to stab him, he nodded and stopped speaking.
'when they take care of your father, I'll definitely keep you company... this bloodline looks strong, I'll...'
"Young Master Huang, young... Huang Yao shi!" Bai Fu Mei's voice quickly pulls the young man out of his imagination.
Without answering, He silently took a bite of his snacks and seemed to take the posture of someone watching a show.
Facing Huang Yao shi's series of actions, Gu Lin ju squinted her eyes dangerously.
Huang Yao shi suddenly felt like a predator was staring at him and became uncomfortable, he cleared his throat and said,
"If you want to get ahead, you should rely on your own efforts instead of waiting for others or the family!"
"Haha, a joke! Young Master Huang Yao shi, you have never left this city, right? Simply talking really doesn't hurt!"Gu Lin Ju smirk at how uncomfortable the young man was feeling, She pointed out the window: "Not everyone has the conditions of your life experience, there is a martial arts father who is the third richest man in the Northern Desert...
The way you are now, if you step into the real world, even If you are being crushed to death, no matter how hard you try, without help, you won't be able to make a come back!".
"you..."
Huang Yao shi slammed the table and wanted to refute. If Gu Lin Fang were here, he would be shocked and say,
'you girl, have you ever been anywhere besides your Gu village?, You, haven't you been drinking all of your father's resources back then?!'.
Bai Fu Mei smirked and decided to diffuse the situation, "Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and we won't argue about these anymore."
She stood up and gestured to the waiters to serve wine, "Drink! Drink!"
Huang Yao shi didn't want to let it go but after Bai Fu Mei spoke, he miraculously swallowed his anger.
Bai Fu Mei was also very surprised.
After everyone began to drink wine, the scholar Gu Lin Ju saw earlier tried to ease the atmosphere and said,
"People in Jianghu still have to work hard, they can't all be lazy like me, or else they would have all quit a long time ago."
Gu Lin Ju raised an eyebrow and couldn't help thinking of her father, so she said, "Where there are people, there is Jianghu, how do you quit?".
"Huh? This little sister is insightful!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone seemed pleased as they thought about her words.
