The Good-for-Nothing's Counterattack: Full-time Spiritual Master

"You guys go back and rest first. Uncle Fu has arranged a yard for your friends." Gu Chentian said.

"Okay, then we'll go back first. Grandpa, remember to go to the underground martial arts training ground to collect gifts tomorrow night." Gu Li said with a smile, then left with Su Yiyu.

"No way!" Gu Chentian suddenly thought of what she had said before.

"You guys go and have a rest with Uncle Fu first!" Gu Li said to the two of them.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Su Yiyu grinned at Gu Li.

Gu Li looked at him like this and complained in his heart: Tsk, so stupid!

He Feng Wuhen nodded and then parted ways.

She did not go back to the yard directly, but went to the underground martial arts training ground. After all, there were still fifty people who were knocked down in her space.

After releasing Gu Yi and the others, they returned to the yard to rest after waking them up.

After Gu Li returned to his room, he felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed and prepared to have a good sleep.

As Mo Yu and the Su family's disciples had not returned for a long time, both the royal family and the Su family were a little anxious.

Inside the palace

"Yu'er hasn't come back yet?" A middle-aged man in a yellow robe asked the person kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned yet. People in Yuncheng sent news saying that they did not see His Royal Highness come out." The guard answered cautiously.

"Snap!" When Mo Wenzhong heard this, he couldn't help but break the armrest of the chair with force.

"Where are the people from the Gu family?" Mo Wenzhong asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, the young master of the Gu family returned yesterday. In addition, the disciples of the Su family have not returned either." After the guard said this, his heart was already filled with chills, fearing that the emperor would kill him in a rage.

"Damn Gu family!" Mo Wenzhong was so angry that he threw the teacup next to him at the person who spoke.

"Go check for me. You must find the prince."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the guard quickly retreated, fearing that he would lose his head if he was a step slower.

"Someone, go and inform the heads of the Su and Lin families to come into the palace." Mo Wenzhong ordered the guards around him in a serious tone.

Not long after, several heads of the Su family, Lin family, Mo family and Wan family quietly entered the palace. They looked solemn, and they all knew what this summons meant.

After the four entered the palace, they respectfully saluted Mo Wenzhong: "Your Majesty!"

Mo Wenzhong looked at them expressionlessly and asked slowly, "How are you preparing?"

A hint of pride flashed across the eyes of the head of the Su family, and he was the first to answer: "Your Majesty, my Su family's ancestor successfully broke through to the middle stage of the emperor level a few days ago."

The head of the Lin family was not to be outdone, and immediately said: "My Lin family's ancestor also made a breakthrough."

Upon seeing this, the head of the Wan family quickly agreed, "It is the same with my Wan family."

However, the head of the Mo family remained silent, feeling very conflicted. He knew what this meant, but was unwilling to express his opinion easily.

Seeing that the head of the Mo family was slow to speak, the other three people looked at him at the same time.

Patriarch Su frowned slightly and questioned Patriarch Mo: "Patriarch Mo, do you have any different opinions?"

The head of the Mo family took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, my Mo family does not want to get involved in this matter."

Thinking of what his son said, "Dad, we'd better not go against the Gu family. I don't think it's that simple. The young master of the Gu family, Gu Li, suddenly became a genius at the top of the heavenly rank. Either she has been forbearing, or there is a master helping her behind the scenes. Besides, we have no grudges with the Gu family, so there is no need to wade into this muddy water."

"What do you mean?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked with a hint of danger. A pressure from the imperial level attacked the head of the Mo family.

"My Mo family does not want to divide the Gu family's resources, and does not want to get involved." The head of the Mo family replied under tremendous pressure.

"In that case, the Mo family is planning to go back on their word?" Mo Wenzhong increased his pressure and attacked the head of the Mo family.

Suddenly, the head of the Mo family turned pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was bearing a heavy burden, and he secretly groaned in his heart.

In fact, his Mo family did not want to participate in this fight, but was dragged in. However, facing the emperor's questioning and strong pressure, he did not dare to resist, otherwise he would become the second Gu family, and could only endure the pain silently.

"I dare not, my Mo family's ancestor has also broken through to the imperial level." The head of the Mo family reluctantly agreed, but his heart was full of bitterness and helplessness. He knew very well that once involved in this dispute, the Mo family would face more risks and challenges, but at this moment there was no turning back.

"Hmph." Mo Wenzhong snorted coldly and withdrew his pressure.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and my Su family disciples have not returned yet. They may have fallen into the hands of the Gu family." The head of the Su family said angrily.

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in half a month," Mo Wenzhong said lightly.

“Yes” everyone knew what it meant.

Mo family

The head of the Mo family sat in the middle of the lobby with a gloomy face, while his son Mo Shengqi stood aside with a frown on his face.

"Dad, do we really want to get involved?" Mo Shengqi asked hesitantly.

The head of the Mo family sighed heavily, with a trace of pain and helplessness in his eyes: "What can we do if we don't participate? Do you want us to become the second Gu family?"

Mo Shengqi gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "But... Dad, we really can't get involved! The Gu family is a century-old family after all, how can it be easily overthrown? Moreover, in the past ten years, everyone has been saying that the young master of the Gu family is a waste who can't practice, but suddenly, she became a genius. Isn't there something fishy in this?"

The head of the Mo family was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Well, this is indeed suspicious. But the current situation is no longer under our control."

Mo Shengqi said anxiously: "Dad, if that's the case, then we should be more cautious! We have been drawn into this vortex. If we stand on the wrong side again, the consequences will be disastrous."

The head of the Mo family waved his hands irritably, interrupting Mo Shengqi's words: "I know, but now we have no choice. If we don't participate, the royal family will not let us go."

Mo Shengqi clenched his fists and said firmly, "Dad, since I can't get away, I think it would be better to stand on the side of the Gu family."

The head of the Mo family frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Mo Shengqi took a deep breath and explained, "Dad, the young master of the Gu family is not only a talented spiritualist, but also an alchemist, and an alchemist of a high rank. An alchemist does not lack strong people to help her. What's more, she is only 13 years old, and her future achievements are limitless."

The head of the Mo family widened his eyes and said in shock: "What? The young master of the Gu family is actually an alchemist?"
