Chapter 142 There Really Is a Ring

Zhong Lin turned his head to look at Gu Ning, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Gu, the customs of the nobility really open my eyes!"

Zhong Lin's tone of voice was calm, but it sounded like thunder to Gu Ning's ears.

Gu Ning's face instantly turned red, and he quickly bowed and said, "Brother Zhong, please forgive me. I failed to discipline you well. Please forgive me."

"Really? Didn't I make it clear who the Bone Cleansing Pill belongs to?"

Gu Ning's face turned even paler when he heard this, and he almost fell to his knees.

Before, although he was in awe of Zhong Lin, he would not be so exaggerated. But yesterday, he saw with his own eyes how Zhong Lin easily killed Yan Changfeng, who even his father could not do anything to him. The terror of a top-three warrior had been deeply imprinted in his mind. This made him never dare to be as relaxed as before when facing Zhong Lin again. Therefore, his heart started beating wildly when he heard Zhong Lin's words.

Squeak!

As he was speaking, the door to Gu Chen's yard opened and three young men walked out.

The three people who were originally laughing turned pale when they saw Gu Ning and Zhong Lin.

"Kneel down."

Gu Ning roared, and the three of them fell to their knees with a thud.

"Please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life, sir."

"Spare my life!"

"Sir, my father is your personal guard, you..."

The last sentence made Gu Ning's heart tremble, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhong Lin, fearing that Zhong Lin would think that it was his instruction to snatch Gu Chen's Bone Cleansing Pill.

"shut up."

Gu Ning circulated his Qi and blood, roaring angrily. The sound waves caused the three of them to scream, and blood oozed from their eardrums.

"Someone is coming."

Several guards ran over from a distance.

"Gu Hu, Gu Shan, and Gu Biao bullied their fellow tribesmen and snatched rewards from the clan competition. They seriously violated the clan rules and committed treason. They should all be thrown into the dungeon and await their punishment." Gu Ning said angrily.

"Yes."

The guards dragged the three men, who were like dead dogs, away from the place quickly, without paying any attention to their screams.

"Brother Zhong, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Gu Ning spoke sincerely, and he was determined to punish the three people severely, and if necessary, expel them from the Gu family.

These three blind guys almost ruined the Gu family's business. They even dared to steal the Bone Cleansing Pill. If they had offended Zhong Lin, they would have deserved death.

"It's not about giving me an explanation, but about giving Gu Chen an explanation." Zhong Lin said.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhong Lin stepped forward and pushed the door open, followed closely by Gu Ning.

The courtyard of Gu Chensu's family is extremely simple. In other words, apart from being clean, the environment is extremely poor.

Looking around, there was nothing except a few stone blocks for practicing martial arts placed in the middle of the yard.

"I've already told you that I can't give you the Bone Cleansing Pill. You... Young Master, why... why are you here?"

Gu Chen walked out of the room and looked at Zhong Lin and the other two who had appeared in the yard with surprise.

Gu Ning quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Chen's hand, his face full of concern. "Xiaochen, this is all Big Brother's fault. I didn't realize there was such a villain in the clan bullying you. He's completely heartless and a wolf in his own right. I feel so sorry for your deceased parents. It's Big Brother's fault. Hit me! Teach me a lesson on your parents' behalf. As the son of the patriarch, I was deceived by this villain, causing you, Xiaochen, to be bullied here. This is truly a heinous crime."

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Chen's hand and slapped it towards his face. Gu Chen was also confused at this time. He didn't know why the eldest son suddenly appeared in his yard and behaved so abnormally.

However, through the words and the big shot Master Zhong Dan standing beside him, Gu Chen's intelligence allowed him to react quickly.

He quickly withdrew his grasped hand, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Don't blame me, sir. Our Gu family is large and prosperous, with numerous branches and leaves. It's inevitable that there will be some bad elements. You have a far-sighted vision and have worked tirelessly for the development of the family. This is all Gu Biao's fault. He relied on his father being your personal guard to bully me. Even if there was any fault, it was the fault of Gu Biao and his son. They deceived their superiors and hid the truth from their subordinates, blocking your sight."

Zhong Lin, who had been silent in the distance, raised his eyebrows. This Gu Chen is really a talent! His words were full of praise for Gu Biao and his son. Before, only Gu Biao was punished, but now his father probably couldn't get far away.

Gu Ning also understood the implication of Gu Chen's words. He was very satisfied with Gu Chen's understanding and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Xiaochen. The clan will never let anyone who blackmails the group go. I will compensate you for all the bullying you've endured over the years. Your parents sacrificed their lives for the clan; they are heroes of the clan. I will report to the clan head to increase your monthly salary and will never let you suffer any injustice again."

Gu Ning promised loudly.

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome, you deserve it."

Gu Ning stood up and said to Zhong Lin with an apologetic look, "Brother Zhong, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Zhong Lin waved his hand and looked directly at Gu Chen, but his mind was attracted by a black ring hanging around his neck.

屮.

shit.

Nigga nigga.

It’s true, it’s true!

Zhong Lin roared in his heart. The ring really appeared. He wondered if the old man would still be inside the ring.

Zhong Lin's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Chen. Could this person really be the child of destiny?

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the shock in his heart and said softly, "Your name is Gu Chen?"

Gu Chen had already recognized Zhong Lin's identity. He was a third-grade warrior and a fourth-grade alchemist. The Bone Cleansing Pill that he had obtained with great difficulty was made by this person. This was a real big shot.

Gu Chen did not dare to neglect him and bowed deeply and said, "Gu Chen, I greet Master Zhong Dan."

"That's right. Since I promised that the Bone Cleansing Pill would go to the Gu family first in the competition, no one can snatch it away."

"Thank you, Master Zhong Dan."

Gu Chen quickly thanked him. He also knew that Master Gu Ning’s appearance in his courtyard was all thanks to Master Zhong Dan. If the clan rules were really useful, he wouldn’t have been bullied for three years.

"I heard from others that you were promoted to the eighth level of the Yijing realm three years ago? Since then, your cultivation has not improved but declined, and your body has become increasingly thin. Is this true?"

Gu Chen nodded heavily: "Yes, the master of the family has sought out many famous doctors for me, but they only said that I have a deficiency of Qi and blood, but they could not find any cause."

"Let me see."

Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lin in surprise.

"Xiaochen, why don't you let Brother Zhong take a look? Brother Zhong learned from Master Yin Daoyan, who is an expert in both medicine and alchemy at Baicaotang. His medical skills are unmatched. Maybe he can find out the cause of your illness." Gu Ning said hurriedly.

Gu Chen's heart also warmed up. He stretched out his right hand tremblingly and looked at Zhong Lin with anticipation.

Zhong Lin reached out and grabbed Gu Chen's wrist, and a stream of internal energy flowed into it. He closed his eyes and sensed it.

Gu Chen is in very good health, with strong bones and muscles, and has made great progress in body training. He is indeed performing as a qualified warrior should. The only difference is that his Qi and blood are extremely deficient, even worse than that of an ordinary person.

No wonder he was out of breath after walking a few steps. When he punched someone in a martial arts competition, he suffered even greater damage.
