"That's right!"

Yi Yang cupped his hands and replied respectfully.

After Gu Hao heard this, he could not help but laugh.

This Yi Yang probably did not know of his relationship with the Lin Family. Otherwise, even if he was given ten guts, he would not dare to say such words, much less inviting Gu Hao.

However, Gu Hao did not expose him. Because, when Gu Hao understood Lin Youyou's situation, he had a plan in his mind.

"Okay, I can join. However, I have two requests. "

Gu Hao extended his right hand and pointed two fingers at Yi Yang.

"Firstly, I need to understand the Lin Family's current situation. Moreover, we need to hurry to the Wu. Second, I'm just joining, not serving you. Thus, I will not listen to anyone's orders. "

"The first one is no problem, we were planning to leave in two days. "However, this second …"

Yi Yang immediately revealed an expression of difficulty, hesitated, and said while looking at Gu Hao.

"Other than me, there are three others participating in this operation. I am the organizer, but we are in a partnership. "If you don't comply with the arrangement and take action, I don't care too much about it. The key is, others might not be convinced."

"You don't need to worry about that. You only need to promise me these two things." As for the others, I will naturally subdue them. "

Gu Hao's words were incisive, and he spoke with an unquestionable tone.

Yi Yang was momentarily stunned, but he did not dare say more, and could only agree as he cupped his hands and replied: "Alright, then I'll go back now and notify the other three people. I don't know if you want to come with me to the capital to rest, or... "

Yi Yang did not finish his words, and chose to leave. The following words, even if he did not say it out loud, Gu Hao could understand it clearly.

"No need, two days later, I will go back to the county capital to find you."

With that, Gu Hao waved and turned to walk back into the bamboo house.

"By the way, fix the broken fence before you go. I was just sleeping here. If I were to destroy their items, then things would be bad. "

"Yes sir!"

Yi Yang immediately replied, he turned around and ordered the two muscular men who were supporting the four of them: "The two of you are in charge of repairing the fence for Mister. Others, follow me back! "

Finished speaking, Yi Yang quickly walked out of the door, brought along Liu Ming, Yi Jiu and the other three, and quickly left.

"Father, why did you invite him? His cultivation is so high, so there must be a lot of treasures that he wants to share. "

After getting far away from the bamboo house, Yi Jiu caught up to Yi Yang and asked.

"Humph!" What do you know? Wang Yin has already bribed Duan Ying in private, and Sun Zheng is also a simple-minded person, my power is weak now, if I don't get a helper, I won't be able to return! "

Yi Yang spoke as he walked, at the same time he turned to look at the bamboo house that was faintly discernible.

"As for him? Hmph, do you really think I want him to share a piece of the cake? Forget about him being just a Earth Elemental Cultivator, even if he's a Sky Origin Stage cultivator, at that time, he will definitely die! "

With that, Yi Yang touched his chest, where a pitch black order badge laid on it.

"I've been in the Kingdom of Yan for so long that I almost forgot my purpose in coming to the Yanyang Continent.

A vicious light flashed across Yi Yang's eyes.

...

Old man Zhu Yuan sat on the bamboo bed with an anxious face. When he saw Gu Hao walk in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Gu Hao, do you really believe Yi Yang's words? Are you planning to head to the Wu and rob the Lin Family?"

Gu Hao smiled slightly, reached out to support Zhu Yuan, and helped him sit on the bed once again. Only then did he answer: "I don't believe Yi Yang's words, it's just that right now, I have to go to Wu, that's why I agreed to go."

"Gu Hao, there are some things that Grandpa doesn't know whether or not I should say?" Zhu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then hesitated.

"Grandpa, feel free to speak." Gu Hao replied.

Zhu Yuan nodded, he looked at Gu Hao, and after some hesitation, he opened his mouth: "Gu Hao, with the flow of the heavenly dao, there will be justice. I think you're also a kind and good child. Why must you do such a vile thing and rob the Lin Clan's property? It's not yours, it's not yours. It's yours, it'll be yours in the end. "Don't fall into the Devil Dao because of that momentary desire."

"Huh?"

Gu Hao was startled, but quickly smiled. It seemed that Zhu Yuan believed that he was going to the Wu to rob the Lin Family's property.

"Grandfather, you misunderstand."

Gu Hao shook his head helplessly. As matters stood, he should just tell the truth to Zhu Yuan.

"The reason why I need to go to the Wu is not because I want to rob some treasure, but to save someone."

"Save him?" Zhu Yuan was taken aback.

"Yes, save them."

Gu Hao nodded and explained.

"Grandfather, I told you before that my parents and I met Bandit. Actually, that's not it. We were framed, and our parents died to save me. And now, the person who harmed me is going to persecute my fiancee, so I must return. "

"That Lin Family is the home of your fiancée?" Zhu Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Gu Hao nodded and replied seriously. So, I have to go. "

"Big Brother, I want to go too!"

Zhu Qing who was at the side, suddenly opened his mouth and expressed his intention to Gu Hao.

"Nonsense!" Your big brother is going to save them, so if you go with him, isn't it just a disturbance? "

Zhu Yuan scolded and looked at Gu Hao: "Since that's the case, then I'm overthinking it. However, I believe this trip will be very dangerous, so you should be careful. "

"Don't worry Grandpa, I will." Gu Hao nodded.

"Yes." When are you planning to go? " Zhu Yuan asked.

Gu Hao paused for a moment, then said: "How about tomorrow? I want to go to town first to temper the crystal horn into a high level magic tool."

"That's for the best. With a high level magic tool, your strength will be greatly improved. "

Zhu Yuan nodded and agreed.

"Then, big brother, are you coming back?"

Zhu Qing pouted and asked reluctantly.

"Of course I will come back. You have to cultivate well and take good care of grandpa. When I return, I will check your cultivation. "

Gu Hao caressed Zhu Qing's small head and said softly.

For some reason, Gu Hao suddenly felt a little reluctant. In the short span of three months, Gu Hao had gotten used to and liked living this kind of lifestyle.

"After reviving my parents, I'll bring you along with me. My family will live a life like this, free from strife."

Gu Hao made a decision in his heart.

The next day, the first rays of dawn were faintly visible.

Xiao Zhuqing was still in her sleep when she bid farewell to Old Man Zhu Yuan, and left the Black Bamboo Forest alone.

Regarding Xiao Zhuqing, Gu Hao wrote down a training method and an attacking technique for him. Of course, Gu Hao also wrote down the Na Yuan technique and gave it to Zhu Yuan, asking him to pass it to Xiao Zhuqing.

The reason he did this was because Gu Hao was afraid that he would be unwilling to leave if Xiao Zhuqing cried.

The Black Bamboo Town was at the edge of the Black Bamboo Forest, at the foot of the Qingfeng Mountain Range.

Carrying the morning sunlight, Gu Hao set off on his journey by himself, quickly advancing according to old man Zhu Yuan's instructions.

Even so, it was only when the sun was high in the sky that they finally walked out of the Black Bamboo Forest and arrived at Black Bamboo Town.

After entering the Black Bamboo Town, Gu Hao did not go straight to the capital city. Instead, he turned and entered the blacksmith's shop at the east side of Black Bamboo Town.

This was the address that old man Zhu Yuan had given Gu Hao. He had asked Gu Hao to come and find his old friend and forge a crystal horn.

The blacksmith's shop was not big, and was very old.

When Gu Hao walked in, he heard the sound of people forging.

It was an old man in a flowery robe. His upper body was bare and he was in high spirits as he stood next to the stove. He waved his iron hammer and began to temper the red-hot metal weapons that were being burned.

"It's here. Are you guys going to build it, or buy it?"

The old man glanced at Gu Hao, and continued to swing his hammers time and time again.

"Find a place to sit first, I'll be right there."

"It's almost noon, and the old man is still working hard. How tiring."

Gu Hao answered, then walked to the side of the bench and sat down, watching the old man forge the iron.

"Sigh, isn't this the order of the county governor? Get him to forge a machete!" F * ck, I just delivered the materials yesterday, so I have to pick them up this afternoon. Only by harming the old man to keep forging for him, day and night, can he hurry and finish the forging within a set time limit. "

The old man answered, hammering twice more, bringing the finished iron to the water basin behind him and gently putting it in.

"Zizi ~ ~ ~"

White smoke billowed and steam rose.

"So it was requested by the county governor. No wonder the old man was rushing the project."

Gu Hao looked at the curling white smoke and smiled.

"Right, how should I address you?"

"What is it called?" Country bumpkin, you can just call me Liu Lao Er. "

The old man said loudly as he brought out the iron grade equipment in front of Gu Hao.

"Haha, that's enough. It just so happens that you're here. Come and take a look at this sharp weapon that the old man has forged day and night. How is it? "

The weapon was made of iron. It had a wide palm and a thick blade on its back. Although it hadn't yet been opened, it still showed its edge.

"Not bad, not bad. Old mister Liu's culinary skills are indeed extraordinary. "

Gu Hao replied with a frown on his forehead. This blade did indeed appear to be of the highest quality. But it still gave Gu Hao a feeling that he was missing something.

"Unfortunately, I'm old and won't be able to fight for a few years."

Liu Lao Er did not seem to notice Gu Hao's frown, he turned and placed the iron equipment on the side, then looked at Gu Hao and asked.

"Speak, are you going to build or buy this blacksmith shop of mine?" You said it in advance, old man. I need my own materials to create it. And even though it's quite expensive. "

Gu Hao didn't hesitate as he took out a crystal horn from his bosom and handed it over to the Liu Lao Er as he asked.

"Oh? "Then, how much does it cost to forge this thing here?"

Liu Lao Er's eyes suddenly focused, he extended his hand and received the crystal horn, then carefully examined it before returning it to Gu Hao's hands and shook his head again and again.

"Don't try to lie to me, young man. Although the old man was already old, his eyesight wasn't going to be blurry. "This isn't any material at all, how do we make it?"

Hearing that, Gu Hao frowned.

What's going on? This old man actually didn't recognize the crystal horn. Could it be that old man Zhu Yuan was lying to him? Or was he in the wrong place?

After pausing for a moment, Gu Hao no longer hesitated. He took out the letter that Zhu Yuan wrote and handed it over to Liu Lao Er and said.

"I do not intend to deceive you, but rather, I came here to seek guidance from you. I wonder if Old mister Liu can recognize an old man called Zhu Yuan? "

Liu Lao Er turned his head and looked at the letter, but did not accept it. Instead, he stared at Gu Hao and asked: "Was it Zhu Yuan who asked you to come?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The old mister wrote a lot of letters."

Gu Hao waved his hand and handed the letter over to Liu Lao Er.

Liu Lao Er was a little hesitant, but still extended his hand to receive the letter.

Then, Liu Lao Er kept the letter and pulled Gu Hao's hand as they walked into the house.

"Haha, your elder has stayed here for a full ten years. Finally, it's your turn."
