Chapter 765
The voice that was neither humble nor arrogant echoed in the hall. Although Shen Lang said the word "giving advice", he never bowed, nor bowed. His waist was straight, just like an ancient pine tree that had experienced thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain, and seemed vigorous and upright and unwilling to bend a little.
Guo Xingzhou narrowed his eyes and took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "I don't dare to give advice. I just heard that you have something to discuss with the Guo family, so you might as well just say it."
Shen Lang suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said patiently: "Of course it's about the Netherworld Fire Diamond. This thing is a must-fight against both the right and the demon. It is rumored that the Netherworld Fire Diamond is in the Guo family."
Guo Xingzhou had no surprise expression on his face, but he continued to sip the tea leisurely, as if he was listening to his subordinates report to him, without any expression at all, just signaling Shen Lang to continue talking.
"And as far as I know, Mr. Guo was a close friend of the Qin Demon Yin Lingzi. Unfortunately, after Yin Lingzi died, he left a note, which recorded the birthday gift he gave to the Guo family seven hundred years ago. The powerful demons believed that the gift was most likely the Netherworld Fire Diamond. At this time, they had come to Donghai County to investigate. This matter would be a problem for the Guo family."
Shen Lang's tone was very calm, and he could say everything he knew. He even revealed many of the plans of the Demon Sect since today. However, Guo Xingzhou still did not express any expression, but just looked at Shen Lang with a cold expression. It was not until Shen Lang finished everything that he said lightly: "Then I understand this."
Shen Lang frowned slightly and thought to himself: Did he understand? What the hell does this mean?
He reminded him kindly and even directly told some of the recent movements and plans of the Demon Sect, but the other party only said one thing and knew, and he refused to reveal the slightest news. He never said a word of thank you?
Even if you meet a stranger, even if Shen Lang and the Guo family have no relatives and no reason, they will reveal so much news after coming to the Guo family. Out of politeness and politeness, the other party should say thank you, right?
But Shen Lang is not the kind of person who cares too much about etiquette, nor is he abrupt person. Guo Xingzhou is not grateful and does not thank him. Shen Lang doesn't mind. Guo Xingzhou doesn't reveal any news about the Netherworld Fire Diamond, and he is too lazy to guess, so he said directly: "If the Netherworld Fire Diamond is in the Guo family, I hope the Guo family can let me bring the Netherworld Fire Diamond back to Qingyun Sect."
Shen Lang looked very serious because this matter is really important!
However, when everyone heard that he wanted to bring the Netherworld Fire Diamond back to the sky, they felt as if they had heard a huge joke and made a harsh laugh.
What is hidden in the laughter is countless ridicule and disdain.
"Just him? He still wants to bring back the Netherworld Fire Diamond? It's ridiculous. If the Netherworld Fire Diamond is a hot potato to the Guo family, why should he take over this piece of potato?"
"Oh! I forgot that he is still Qingyun's uncle! But that's a useless thing? He doesn't even have the cultivation level of Kongming Realm, right? I dare say that if Netherworld Fire Cylinder is in his hands, he will be killed after walking out of the Guo family's door."
"After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
"Hmph, Master Qingyun? It's just that the old guys in Qingyun Sect gave him a name to coax him to play with for Kunlun's sake. He was really wearing tiger skin to prepare to be the king. It's so ridiculous. What's the saying... Oh! People are the most important thing to know themselves, but it's a pity that he doesn't."
Undisguised sarcasm and disdain echoed in the magnificent hall.
Xia Xiaoniu listened to those voices and looked at the hateful faces of those people. The expression on her little face was very unhappy. Then she held Shen Lang's hand and looked at him worriedly.
But Shen Lang's expression was always calm. He knew that the group of guys on the other side were probably laughing at him for his poor strength, poor experience, and too young, but he was not angry.
Because strength and experience are both internal manifestations and will not be reduced by others' belittlement. So, at this time, he just felt a little disappointed.
Because he suddenly felt that the magnificent hall was no longer magnificent, but became very narrow, as if it was a mouse hole, where a few short-sighted elderly mice lived. The so-called atmosphere of the Guo family that the sea accommodates all rivers and welcomes all directions was gone at this moment.
Guo Xingzhou seemed to think that this situation was a bit indecent after all, so he pressed his hands down to stop everyone from laughing, and then looked at Shen Lang and said with a sneer:
"This matter ends here. If the Netherworld Fire Diamond is not in the Guo family, then it will be clear to the clear ones. Why should we be afraid of others talking nonsense? If the Netherworld Fire Diamond is really in the Guo family, hum, why do we have to give it to you? Even if the Demon Sect secretly spys on it, what can we do? My Guo family has been standing for thousands of years, and it has its own truth! "
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and from Guo Xingzhou's words and deeds, he once again learned how arrogant this family that has stood for thousands of years because of Mr. Guo!
But others' arrogance has nothing to do with him after all. He has already said this. If it were the past, he would never continue to waste his words and talk more, but when he thought about the relationship between the Xia family and the Guo family, he still couldn't help but say something more.
"Guo's acting head of the family is called Xingzhou, right?" Shen Lang asked.
Guo Xingzhou said: "What advice do you have?"
"Ha, I just remind you that no matter how huge the boat is, the people at the helm should not forget to be cautious. Because you never know how deep the sea water is and how big the wind and waves will be in the future." Shen Lang said: "So, be careful when sailing to avoid capsizing."
Hearing this, Guo Xingzhou suddenly showed anger because he knew that the ship Shen Lang said was referring to the Guo family, and the so-called capsizing was naturally the destruction of the family. The saying that sailing requires caution, not only cleverly calling him by his name, but also secretly calling him too arrogant and not being cautious enough in his work.
How could he not get angry when he was sarcastic by a guy who was not dry and cleverly ran apart with words?
Just when he was angry, Shen Lang continued: "And I doubt whether Guo is really qualified to act as a representative of the Guo family's affairs."
Shen Lang bit the word "agent" very hard, and inadvertently touched the thorn that hurts the most in Guo Xingzhou's heart!
Because the word "Agent" seemed ironic to him.
Because he was appointed as the future head of the Guo family when he was very young. However, now he is not young, and his hair is beginning to turn white, but he is still just an acting head.
Because Mr. Guo is so long! He lived for 999 years old and is still in good health!
This can be said to be a hidden pain in the hearts of many direct children of the Guo family. For example, Guo Xingzhou is not actually the eldest son, and there are three older brothers on him, but his three older brothers were killed by the longevity of Mr. Guo!
As long as Mr. Guo is still alive, no one dares to say that he can fully control the Guo family. Therefore, his three brothers were unable to become the real head of the family until the moment they died.
What a sadness this is for those who yearn for power. Unfortunately, at the current pace, Guo Xingzhou may also have to be the acting head of the family for the rest of his life...
Shen Lang didn't know Guo Xingzhou's sorrow, nor did he know what the other party was thinking. He just walked directly out of the door after saying this.
After all, Guo Xingzhou is unreasonable, so he can go to find Mr. Guo! Even if he can't see Mr. Guo easily, can't he see the future mother-in-law Guo Xiaorong?
Although everyone says that the son-in-law and mother-in-law are enemies, in Shen Lang's opinion, no matter how enemies are, they are still a real family. They are much better than the arrogant Guo Xingzhou in front of him.
However, just as he was thinking about these things and planning to go out, Guo Xingzhou suddenly stopped him...
