I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1656 - 1660: I Hope They Jump Even Higher

Gu Family, in the room of Gu Meng.

Gu Qiufeng pushed open the door and came in. After a few days of rest, his body had recovered mostly, at least now he could get out of bed and move around.

"Father!" Gu Qiufeng stood in front of Gu Meng without saying a word.

"How are your injuries?" Gu Meng asked.

"Almost healed. A few more days of rest and I should be fully recovered," Gu Qiufeng replied, "Father, I'm sure that Gu Xiao isn't as simple as he seems on the surface."

"I'm not blind!" Gu Meng said, "You got yourself into this state thanks to a waste, and you still have the nerve to call someone else a waste?"

Gu Qiufeng lowered his head; in recent days, he had been ridiculed by other younger members of the Gu family for this incident.

Being beaten by Gu Xiao, a supposed waste, and lying in bed for two days, was certainly an episode worth recording on the pillar of shame.

"That kid seemed flustered when he injured you, but the precision and reaction speed he showed was definitely not just because of high physical strength," Gu Meng analyzed.

Using those rare treasures can indeed ramp up a strong body, but this only affects physical strength, not reaction speed or perception, etc.

Gu Qiufeng, being a formidable second-grade Divine Breath expert, and even an outstanding one at that level, had attacks that even ordinary first-grade Divine Breath individuals might struggle to see clearly, let alone Gu Xiao.

"About the people we sent," Gu Meng continued, "I asked the family guards, and no one broke into our Gu family that night!"

The chief of the Gu family's guards was nearly at the brink of stepping into the Divine Cultivation realm; unless someone had much higher power, they couldn't possibly escape his perception.

According to Gu Meng's understanding, even Gu Xiao's father had no resources to keep such a high-level expert by Gu Xiao's side as a bodyguard.

"Could this kid be hiding something?" Gu Qiufeng showed a look of hatred, "But it's impossible, his physique was ruined long ago, how could he still cultivate?"

"There's nothing wrong with that," Gu Meng said, "I checked the kid's body that day; the toxins inside him weren't clear yet, and his bones were still in shambles with no signs of improvement, and there wasn't even a hint of Divine Breath in him."

"Is this a haunting?" Gu Qiufeng was even more baffled; how could this be explained? "Father, has anyone been watching him lately?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Gu Meng shook his head, "If there really were ghosts, sending more people would just be sending them to their deaths, but I've instructed the family patrol to keep an eye on it. These few days, he's frequently left the family; it seemed he's gone to Tinghai Residence now."

"Tinghai Residence? That small house by the sea?" Gu Qiufeng asked, "That's not too surprising; he's always been mysterious, occasionally going back to spend a few days there, but he often leaving the family seems a bit unusual."

"Indeed, he has no friends and doesn't usually leave the family once a year; I'm afraid the changes in him this time are definitely related to this performance."

"By the way, Father, in three days, it will be his wedding with the Third Princess. Are we really going to watch him marry the Third Princess?" Gu Qiufeng was a bit anxious, "You know, I've always been..."

"I know what's on your mind," Gu Meng said, "But this marriage was personally granted by the Emperor, and your uncle is paying a lot of attention to it, so we can't avoid this wedding procession. However, it's not going to be simple for him to bring the princess back."

"Oh?" Gu Qiufeng showed interest.

"There are so many princesses and princes in the palace, and the Third Princess is their most cherished. Taking her away won't be easy."

"Hahaha," Gu Qiufeng laughed, "This kid is going to make a fool of himself."

"Moreover, I got some news," Gu Meng said, "Nine times out of ten, the Third Princess will break off the engagement at that time. I've heard she's already received support from several Guardians."

"Hahahaha, that's great," Gu Qiufeng laughed immediately, "If I were him, being rejected under the public eye, death might be a better option."

"Hmph, your vision is this narrow," Gu Meng said disappointedly, "Do you think this is just Gu Xiao's issue? It's a disgrace to our entire Gu family."

"Father, so what, with the prestige of our Gu family, this will soon be forgotten, but as for the marriage between the Third Princess and me..."

"Wait, if there's a chance, I'll certainly help you negotiate," Gu Meng said, "I feel I'm nearing the edge of breaking through to Divine Cultivation; when that time comes, my voice in the Yanlan Empire will be much more influential."

"That's great, thank you, Father!"

...

While the father and son Gu Qiufeng were still conspiring, Zhang Menglong's creation of the Bloodline Elixir was also nearing completion.

The essence of the Agate Dragon was almost dissolved into the basic liquid of the elixir, and within the dark golden liquid, there appeared some hints of dark green.

"It's done!" Zhang Menglong looked slightly exhausted; suppressing the essence with soul power for such a long time was quite a drain for him.

He took out a syringe and injected the Genetic Potion into his arm.

As the Genetic Potion coursed through his body, Gu Xiao immediately began to undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

His body began to slowly swell from a skinny runt to a figure with muscles sharply defined, and some black lines appeared on his skin.

From these black lines, a power filled with destruction slowly emerged, even forming some black fog, under the steam of this destructive force, the remaining toxins in his body were easily eliminated.

This bloodline was frantically transforming Gu Xiao's physique, imprinting every cell and every gene fragment with new seals, and his Life Level unexpectedly climbed directly to the Perfect Grade!

"Level One Perfect Being," Zhang Menglong felt his transformed body; compared to the former frail figure, it was now many times stronger.

Although there still wasn't a bit of Divine Breath within his body, if a first-grade Divine Breath expert stood in front of him, Zhang Menglong could crush him into blood paste with brute force alone.

"Let's try this!"

Zhang Menglong activated his Bloodline Power, and the black runes on his body instantly appeared, transforming Gu Xiao into a Half-Dragon filled with a murderous aura.

At this moment, his physical strength alone could even kill a third-grade Divine Breath individual!

"This thing is really good!" Zhang Menglong put on a set of intact clothes, as his previous attire had been torn, "Though it was a coincidence, among the young generation of the Yanlan Empire, it'll be hard to find a match."

"I wonder what will happen at the wedding in a few days," Zhang Menglong suddenly felt a mischievous excitement, "I hope those people will just keep causing more trouble then!"
