Gu Cheng took the jade pendant and played with it in his hand. He asked casually,"Brother Wang is from Yan Bei?"
Fatty Wang gave him a thumbs up and said proudly,"I'm a true Yan Bei citizen.”
"Who else is there at home?"
"There's not much left. My father was a soldier. He died when he was exterminating bandits in the early years.”
"Later on, my mother also got sick and died.”
"I grew up eating a hundred meals."
"No siblings?" Gu Cheng nodded.”
Fatty Wang shook his head." I'm an only child. How can I have brothers and sisters? But I have a good brother. He's not a biological brother, but he's more like a biological brother."”
"He's also a soldier, but he changed his job a while ago and stayed in his hometown for a while. He said that he would come to Yan Beicheng to see me in the next two days.”
At this point, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm actually quite miserable. I'm poor.”
"But my brother is here. I can't treat him slowly, so I thought of selling this ancestral jade.”
This matched.
Gu Cheng thought to himself.
It seemed that Hu Bayi had not met up with Fatty Wang at Yan Beicheng yet.
He also took Fatty Wang's jade pendant from Big Golden Tooth.
It was estimated that the three of them would not have any interactions in the future.
Without the big golden teeth.
They would not have been introduced to Professor Chen as a guide.
She would not have known Xue Li Yang.
There was no need for the series of events that followed.
Did I change the plot?
Gu Cheng suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment as if he was manipulating the fate of others.
"Isn't this timeline a little chaotic?”
The story of Ghost Blows Out the Light took place in the 1980s.
It was the year 2020.
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said,"When your brother comes, entertain him well for a few days."”
"If you can't find a good job, you can contact me. Maybe I can help.”
Fatty Wang was overjoyed.
"How can I do that?"
I think you're quite generous!
Gu Cheng looked at Fatty Wang, who was grinning from ear to ear, and sighed."Alright, I only helped you because I saw that you were quite loyal. This is my name card. Call me if you need anything.”
After saying that, he handed over a business card.
Fatty Wang immediately took it.
He put it away like a treasure.
At night.
Gu Cheng returned home.
After seeing his mother in the kitchen, he immediately went upstairs and found his father reading in the study.
Gu Cheng's father was called Gu Sihai.
When he was young, he followed his grandfather everywhere and sold antiques.
Later on, the old man grew old and could not walk anymore.
He opened a treasure shop in Panjiayuan.
Ever since Gu Cheng took over, Gu Sihai had retired.
Every day, he raised fish, played flowers, drank tea, and played chess. He lived a very comfortable life.
"Dad, have you heard of the Old Nine Gates?”
Gu Cheng sat down on the sofa and asked directly.
Gu Sihai was stunned and frowned,"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"?”
Gu Cheng told her everything that had happened to Xie Yuchen in the shop today.
Including the matter of the divine item.
However, he didn't mention anything about his awakened ability or Fatty Wang.
Gu Si Hai's expression changed when he heard that.
There was a long silence.
Finally, he sighed.
"It seems that what should come will come. There's no way to hide.”
"Dad, what do you mean?" Gu Cheng asked in surprise.”
Gu Si Hai slowly recounted as if he was reminiscing.
"The ancient cities all had nine gates, and merchants had to choose one of them to enter and exit the city.”
"This is what the Old Nine Gates mean. They represent the nine great powers of South Lake.”
" The Old Nine Factions originated from South Lake and have a huge influence. They cover all the stages of cultural relics smuggling. Almost all the Dark Artifacts that flow out of South Lake will definitely pass through one of them. If you want to do business in South Lake, you can only choose one of these nine factions. There is no other way.”
"Back then, I followed your grandfather everywhere, so I did have some reputation.”
"In the end, when we went to Nanhu to do business, we were stopped by the people of the Old Nine Sects. Your grandfather and I were stubborn and unwilling to give in, so we had a conflict with the people of the Old Nine Sects.”
"What happened after that…"
Gu Sihai sighed.
"In short, we had a very unpleasant argument. Your grandfather was also injured.”
"After we returned to Yan Beicheng, we considered the fact that your grandfather was injured and he was getting old. He could not fight for many years, so we decided to retire from the martial world.”
"Then we changed our names and opened a treasure shop in Panjiayuan.”
"So many years have passed. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten about it.”
"Since Xie Yuchen has appeared, it means that the people from the Nine Gates have already infiltrated Yan Beicheng.”
"Sigh, a storm is coming.”
Gu Si Hai's words shocked Gu Cheng.
He did not expect that his family had such a relationship with the Nine Sects.
"Was the conflict back then very serious?"
Gu Cheng asked.
Gu Sihai glanced at him and said lightly,""We stole a batch of divine items from the Nine Old Sects.”
Cough!
Cough, cough, cough!
Gu Cheng coughed violently until his face turned red.
Then, she widened her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief.
A batch of divine items?
"Hehe, Dad, how many divine items do you mean?”
Gu Cheng forced a smile.
Gu Sihai leaned against the sofa and looked up at the ceiling. He thought for a long time and said,"About a dozen of them. It's said that they were excavated from the ancient tomb in the Ping 'er Mountain of the Miao Village of Nanhu. When they were escorted back to the city, your grandfather and I set up an ambush outside the city and robbed them all.”
Gu Cheng felt his breathing quicken.
"In other words, you killed people and robbed goods?!”
He gulped.
Gu Sihai did not answer.
However, not answering sometimes meant that he had agreed.
Gu Cheng was completely dumbfounded.
He didn't expect his grandfather and father to be so valiant.
He actually dared to kill people and rob goods.
More than ten divine items…
The people of the Nine Gates were probably so angry that smoke was about to come out of their heads, right?!
