Chapter 334 Rich Second Generation

The jade-like Cangjie Staff stood on the ground, and the remains of the monsters around it slowly dissipated. Gu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He could not rely on the power of the strange heart. It was still a bit difficult for him to deal with more than 30 monsters alone, especially since most of his mental and magical powers were used to protect the girl.

He looked at the Cangjie Staff, and a certain doubt in his heart was resolved. The ordinary white staff was not ordinary and it did have divine power. In anger, Gu Chen exerted a trace of the divine power of the Cangjie Staff.

Those strange creatures turned into black and gray, but a faint gray aura flowed and rushed towards the Cangjie Staff. However, Gu Chen was not happy, and even became more confused.

He didn't know what his father was planning, and he had even lost the determination to pursue the truth he had been seeking. The girl in his arms had fallen into a deep sleep, and under the protection of magic power, her body immediately entered a state of self-protection and was forced into a coma.

Gu Chen looked into the distance. There were body parts all over the ground. The remaining fire was burning the small village and burying corpses. Perhaps not long ago, they were still chatting and laughing, cooking with fire and curling smoke. Although the world was difficult, at least they were still alive.

However, now, the whole village collapsed in flames and fell into silence. Everyone was sleeping underground, and only an ignorant girl survived. Gu Chen's journey was not smooth sailing, but he had never faced such a tragedy. The impact of having all the beautiful things in front of him and then crushing them was extremely heavy for him.

The girl has fallen asleep, but Gu Chen can feel that her vitality is fading away bit by bit. All Gu Chen can do is to find someone to save her before her vitality is completely annihilated. This place is far away from Jiangzhou City. Moreover, even if he arrives in Jiangzhou City, he may not be able to find a sage to heal her. He can't even find anyone he knows who has such ability.

'No, there is!'

Gu Chen's heart trembled, he put the girl down, took out something in his hand, and shouted in despair, "Dad, help! Uncles! Help! Brother Feng, Uncle Feng, please, save me."

He lowered his hands, and vaguely saw a piece of letter paper, which Gu Chen had always kept close to him. He knew the words written on it by heart, and on it, there was a sentence written - If you encounter a life-and-death crisis, just shout and your father will be there soon.

He used to be stupid and just thought that his father would come to clean up the mess after hearing the news. But as he experienced more and more things, an idea came to his mind. Maybe what was said in the letter was not an allusion, but a literal meaning. If he just called out, his father would come.

He shouted loudly with full expectation, but there was no sign for a long time, and he felt very depressed.

'Life and death crisis, shout out'

'Life and death crisis, shout out'

Gu Chen muttered silently in his heart, his eyes fell on the Cangjie Staff standing on the ground. He swallowed his saliva, picked up the white staff, and put it against his chest. The strange heart was originally here, often harassing Gu Chen with words, but at this time there was no sound.

He took a deep breath, exerted force on his hands, and slowly moved the Cangjie Staff towards his chest. At this moment, a big hand firmly grasped the white staff, preventing it from moving forward.

"Kid, if I don't show up, are you really going to kill yourself?"

Gu Qingyuan looked at Gu Chen in front of him and sighed. This kid, isn’t he afraid that his guess is wrong and a corpse will appear here out of nowhere?
"Dad? Dad!"

Gu Chen was surprised and happy, and threw himself into Gu Qingyuan's arms. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even tears came out of his eyes. He quickly lowered his head to wipe them away and pretended nothing had happened.

He reacted suddenly and dragged Gu Qingyuan forward: "Dad, come quickly, help!"

"I know, I know. She's been rescued. Don't worry." Gu Qingyuan patted Gu Chen's arm, motioning him to look carefully. Gu Chen turned around and saw that the rag doll-like girl had recovered as before, without any trace of misery.

He was about to show his joy, but when he saw the burning village and corpses everywhere, he stopped looking happy and became a little depressed.

"Dad, you are indeed not an ordinary person," Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his previous behavior. He was at an age where he was neither young nor old, and he was attached to his elders. When he encountered setbacks, he would seek help from his parents first, but he could not help pretending to be mature and seeking independence.

"Dad, can you tell me what you want to do?"

Gu Qingyuan touched Gu Chen's head and said, "Dad has something to do, and you are part of my plan. I don't tell you some things because it's not time for you to know them yet. Of course, if you want to know, I can tell you now. Are you sure you want to know the cause and effect of everything?"

Gu Chen scratched his head: "In this case, I won't ask anymore. Dad can tell me when the time is right!" He didn't care about the fact that he was a part of Gu Qingyuan's plan. This was his biological father who raised him up. It was hard to repay his kindness. So what was wrong with being ordered to do something?
'What else can I do? Is it like those stories in the novels I read, where I find out that my father, who has raised me for more than ten years, has the heart to rebel and is ready to rebel, but I resolutely run to the path of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?'

Gu Chen has always felt that those guys who talk about the interests of the country and family but then stab their loved ones are somewhat sick. Although his father has always looked poor and the courtyard they live in is not very big, he also wants to wait until his father dies and then take over those houses. After all, those are what his father left for him.

'Even now it seems that I may not be able to survive this father. I don't know when he will have to take care of me in my old age.'

Gu Chen looked at the little girl who was originally dying but now sleeping peacefully. Probably only immortals and gods could do such a thing!
Gu Qingyuan looked at Gu Chen, his palms itching a little, he had the urge to pick up a stick and beat him, he suddenly said: "Actually, there is one thing I didn't make clear to you, you are not my biological child."

He looked at the surprised Gu Chen and said, "If you were my own flesh and blood, I'm afraid that the moment you were born, there would be a vision like three thousand miles of purple air coming from the east and eight million immortals and gods celebrating. You would be a genius, and you wouldn't be like this now, spending more than ten years cultivating but still being so weak."

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment: "Dad, you are too direct, you should at least give me some preparation to slow down!"

Gu Qingyuan took out a clay doll and placed it on top of Gu Chen's head: "Haven't you guessed it a long time ago? Besides, you've called me dad for more than ten years. Could it be that you won't recognize me anymore in the future?"

The clay figurine fell into his hands. Gu Chen accepted it well and said casually, "How can that be possible? The grace of raising you is greater than heaven. I just need to digest it. I am still a child who has just grown up."

Without waiting for Gu Chen to respond, Gu Qingyuan said, "Actually, there is something I can tell you. Your father wants to destroy the world."

"Oh, the end of the world...what?" Gu Chen spoke faster than his brain.

Gu Qingyuan patted his head and seemed to hear the sound of water: "Yes, the world will be destroyed, but it's not exactly what you imagined. So, I hid the last clay doll somewhere. If you can find it, I will agree to one of your requests."

He coughed lightly and said, "Your father is a little higher than you think. If I have to explain it clearly, it is higher than the sky. So you can use your imagination to your heart's content for this request. Dad will agree to it."

Gu Chen, who thought he had jumped from a poor family to the middle class, received the fact that he was the world's richest second-generation rich.
