National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

Chapter 401: Someone comes to the Gu family to propose marriage?
Seeing that the streets were still so prosperous after dark, Xu Shisan was amazed. This prosperous scene was rare even in the countries of the alliance.

After passing through the bustling crowd and walking along several busy streets, Gu Ranran took Xu Shisan out of the main street and turned into several small roads. There were fewer and fewer houses here and the location was more remote.

Finally, under the guidance of Gu Ranran, Xu Shisan saw a large courtyard.

The compound looks very large from the outside, with blue brick and tile walls and a vermilion gate with a plaque hanging above it with the words "Gu Family" in large characters.

Overall, the Gu family where Gu Ranran lives is very much like a large family mansion in ancient times.

There was no one guarding the door, so Gu Ranran, Gu Ziheng and Xu Shisan pushed the door open and entered.

Walking on the cobblestone path and looking at the rockery and water gardens on both sides, Xu Shisan nodded frequently.

The construction of this courtyard is very similar to the courtyards of the ancient Dragon Kingdom.

In addition, the appearance of Gu Ranran and others is similar to that of Longguo, and even the main city is called Yancheng. Xu Shisan seriously suspects that Gu Ranran’s ancestors are probably also Longguo people, but this part of Longguo people fled here and developed here.

"Well, I'll take you to where you're staying first. You can wash up first. An elder in your family has passed away, and I need to go report it. I'll come to you later." Gu Ranran said to Xu Shisan.

"Okay." Xu Shisan nodded.

Afterwards, Gu Ranran went to report, and Gu Ziheng took Xu Shisan through several courtyards and came to an ear room.

The room is quite big, probably a guest room, with all the necessary furniture.

"Brother Ji, take a rest first. I'll get someone to get you some hot water so you can wash up first."

"Thank you, Ziheng." Xu Shisan thanked Gu Ziheng again.

Gu Ziheng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

In fact, he was very curious about Xu Shisan's identity and wanted to ask who Xu Shisan was. However, Gu Ranran warned him that the fake identity of "Ji Yuxuan" must be kept strictly confidential. He was not allowed to ask or tell his family, not even his father.

Gu Ziheng always listened to his sister, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

Afterwards, Gu Ziheng went to find a few servants and got a few buckets of hot water for Xu Shisan so that he could take a bath and wash up.

There is a large wooden barrel in Xu Shisan's room that can be used for taking a bath. Although it is not very convenient, Xu Shisan has no choice but to accommodate it.

On the other side, in the study of Gu Songfeng, the head of the Gu family.

Gu Ranran pushed the door open and came to the study.

She whispered, "Father, I'm back."

Seeing his daughter coming back, Gu Songfeng quickly stood up and asked with concern: "Ran Ran, why did you come here by yourself? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

Then Gu Songfeng asked again: "Where are your second uncle and his family?"

"Father, the reason I didn't alarm anyone was because of my second uncle and his friends. An accident happened when we were hunting ferocious beasts. My second uncle and his friends all died." Gu Ranran replied with his head down.

"Wha, what?!"

Gu Songfeng's expression suddenly became extremely cold.

"What exactly happened?"

"It was like this, father. That day when my second uncle and I were hunting ferocious beasts, we were accidentally surrounded and attacked by several S-level ferocious beasts. In order to protect us and to hunt down these ferocious beasts, my second uncle and his men all died there. Ziheng and I were going to die there too, but suddenly a person appeared and saved us." Gu Ranran immediately told his father what happened that day.

Hearing this, Gu Songfeng slammed the table with anger on his face and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it! If we didn't have to hand over a large number of ferocious beasts every month, our Gu family wouldn't have to lose members again and again!" After the anger subsided, Gu Songfeng asked again: "Ran Ran, you just said that someone suddenly appeared and saved you, who was it?"

"He said he is from the Ji family and his name is Ji Yuxuan." Gu Ranran replied.

"What? Someone from the Ji family? How is that possible?" Gu Songfeng obviously didn't believe it.

"I didn't believe it at first, but he does have the Ji family token. Moreover, when the Ji family was exterminated, many members of the clan did escape. Although many were hunted down, they would not have been slaughtered so thoroughly. That guy said that he had been hiding in the forest for more than a year. I think he should be a member of the Ji family."

Gu Ranran lied to her father. She had long discovered that Xu Shisan was not from the Ji family, or even from the Beast Domain. But Gu Ranran did not intend to let anyone else know about this fake "Ji Yuxuan", so she could only conceal Xu Shisan's true identity.

So, just treat him as the real "Ji Yuxuan".

"So that's how it is. However, his identity cannot be revealed to the public, otherwise it will cause trouble for our Gu family. So, you can tell the public that he is a guest invited by our Gu family."

"That's exactly what I meant."

"By the way, father, have we gathered fifteen S-level ferocious beasts this month?" Gu Ranran asked again.

"How many did you harvest this time?" Gu Songfeng asked first.

"There are seven in total." Gu Ranran handed the dimensional ring in her hand to her father.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"If there are seven, then we should still be short of two." Gu Songfeng replied.

"What should we do? We have three days left to hand in this month's offering."

"It's okay. If it's just two S-level beasts, father can borrow two from other families first. Next month, father will go to the forest himself and hunt a few more beasts to return to them."

"That's all it can do."

"Don't alarm your second grandfather and his family about what happened today. I'll go and tell them in person tomorrow."

"it is good."

After the father and daughter finished discussing these, Gu Songfeng suddenly said, "Ran Ran, there is one thing that is difficult for your father to talk about."

"Father, please tell me."

"It's like this. Today during the day, the Miller family in Tuxi City sent someone to our Gu family to propose marriage. They want you to marry them."

"It's just that you were not here today, so I made an excuse. However, they are still in Yancheng. If they find out that you are back tomorrow, they will definitely come to propose marriage again." Gu Songfeng explained.

Hearing this, Gu Ranran's face changed.

Tuxi City, like Yan City, is one of the ten main cities in the human domain, not far from Yan City.

The Miller family is the leader of the four major families in Tuxi City, and is much stronger than the Gu family.

Gu Songfeng added: "Your second grandfather and his family support it, but I want to respect your opinion, Ranran, are you willing?"

In response, Gu Ranran shook her head decisively: "Father, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to marry those spineless white ghosts!"

"Well, since you don't want to get married, father will not compromise. When they come again tomorrow, father will reject them."
