Lingyang, Gu Family.
As soon as the news about Gu Shanyun returned, the top ranks of the Gu Family immediately burst into chaos.
In the council hall,
two factions were arguing so furiously their faces turned red.
"This is the biggest joke under the sun! If a lost clan member refuses to acknowledge his origins and return, that's one thing, but to expect the family to subordinate itself to him? It's just ridiculous!"
"If we really do as he wishes, won't the Gu Family become a laughing stock in the Martial World? In the future, how will people talk about us? Not that the Gu Family lost a member, but that it was Gu Zhan who lost us instead?"
"If we truly submit to him, that's the same as severing ourselves from the Pingyang Martial World. Being despised is the least of it—won't every Martial World Influence then target us? We won't even be able to take a step!"
"..."
The hall was filled with clamor, the atmosphere stifling.
