Chapter 383 Things are unpredictable
Seeing that his sister was completely controlled by Gu Chan, Shen Hao wanted to help her out.
"Second Uncle, don't force Xiaoya. If you like Bai Zhuo and think he has the ability to be the magistrate of Zhongyuan City, just let him take office. There is nothing to discuss. It's up to you."
"Hmph! You talk too much! I tell you, just stay here and be the new leader of the Seven Stars Sect. Don't talk nonsense in front of me, otherwise I will roast you like an oyster." Gu Chan said coldly.
"I really don't understand what grandpa likes about you that he accepts you as his godson." Shen Hao said unhappily.
"Snapped!"
Gu Chan didn't even think twice and simply raised her hand and slapped him on the forehead.
Shen Hao was stunned on the spot. He stared at Gu Chan blankly with his fists clenched.
Gu Chan laughed strangely and said, "Why, you still want to beat up your uncle? Come on, try to beat me up. If you dare to beat me up, I will fly down from here. I will hit you on the ground and yell, 'Your nephew beat up your uncle.' This will ruin your reputation and let your master come and deal with you."
"You...you are such a shameless person..." Shen Hao was so angry that he started to stutter.
He was a little angry just now and wanted to hit Gu Chan, but now he had to loosen his clenched fists and didn't dare to hit Gu Chan anymore.
He doesn't care about the Shen family. Even if Shen Sanfeng comes, he can ignore him, but he can't not care about his master, right?
After all, over the years, the two brothers and sisters have already regarded the Seven Stars Gate as their home, and also regarded Qixingba as their biological father.
In this situation, they certainly didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to the Seven Star Overlords because of their own affairs.
Gu Chanle laughed happily. It was a piece of cake for her to capture the brother and sister easily.
In the end, the brother and sister were left with nothing to do.
Shen Hao could only sigh and say, "Sister, let's not bother with a kid. You should leave the retreat early! If he really wants Third Junior Brother to be the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City, you will have to go with him."
"But brother, I don't want to go back!" Shen Ya said reluctantly.
"If you don't go, I'm afraid that Third Junior Brother won't be able to serve as the county magistrate for long, and his life might be in danger. And I have to take care of the Seven Stars Sect, so there is no way I can go. Otherwise, if King Nanxian and his son want to make a move against the Seven Stars Sect, I won't be able to return to help in time." Shen Hao said with a bitter face.
Gu Chan nodded repeatedly after listening.
She also admitted that Shen Hao's concerns were correct.
Although she had forced the marriage between the two families during the day and temporarily resolved the conflict between the two sides, no one knew whether the scheming father and son would do something shady to harm the Seven Stars Sect in the future.
Therefore, in this situation, the most correct choice is for Shen Hao, the most powerful senior brother, to stay and protect the Seven Stars Gate at all times.
In this case, there is really no need for Shen Ya to stay any longer.
Shen Ya naturally understood the truth behind this. She glanced at Gu Chan and said helplessly, "Second Uncle, remember, even if I go back this time, it is for the sake of my eldest brother and third junior brother. It has nothing to do with anyone in the Shen family."
"Okay, do you think I like the people in the Shen family? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. In the entire Shen family, the only person I admire is your grandfather. As for Shen Wuji and Shen Yao, I don't even care about them. What's more, I even beat up Shen Yao when I was at the border before! Don't mention how much their family hates me now." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.
When the brother and sister heard her words, their guard against her was reduced by more than a little.
As long as Gu Chan didn't go along with Shen Wuji and the others, they would sincerely call her Second Uncle. Shen Ya finally smiled and said, "Okay, Second Uncle, I'll leave early, and when I get to Zhongyuan City, I'll slowly find out about you. If I find out that you're in cahoots with Shen Wuji and the others, I won't let you go easily."
"Tsk! Going along with them? I'm afraid of dirtying my hands! If it weren't for the old man, I would have dealt with them severely long ago." Gu Chan said in a voice as cold as ice.
Shen Ya nodded with satisfaction.
The three of them didn't say anything else. Shen Ya immediately stopped practicing and suppressed the spiritual energy circulating in her body. Then she stood up, said goodbye to Shen Hao, and left the cave with Gu Chan.
After a while, the two of them flew down from the cliff and landed steadily on the ground below.
Bai Zhuo hurried forward, stared at Shen Ya with a smile and said, "Second Senior Sister, why did you come out of retreat early?"
"My second uncle has given the order, how dare I continue to stay in seclusion!" Shen Ya said softly.
"Let's go back to the West Courtyard and talk again." Gu Chan urged.
After saying that, she took the lead and left.
Shen Ya and Bai Zhuo followed quietly behind her, and the two of them talked as they walked, seeming very intimate.
After an incense stick of time, the three returned to the west courtyard.
As soon as she returned to the stone table in the courtyard, Gu Chan shouted to Ma Zheng, "Go and get those three sets."
"Yes, boss." Ma Zheng agreed and ran into the house quickly.
Soon he came out with a bundle, which he placed on the stone table and opened, revealing the three-piece suit of county magistrate.
Gu Chan stared at Bai Zhuo and said, "Take it! This three-piece set of county magistrate's suit is for you."
"Ah? Lord Gu...what...is going on?" Bai Zhuo was stunned for a moment and asked like a fool.
Shen Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You are just stupid, don't you understand this? Second uncle has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be an official! This is the official hat, official uniform, and official seal of Zhongyuan City and County. From now on, you have to leave Qixingmen and go to Zhongyuan City to take up the post of county magistrate."
"No way! How can I be a county magistrate? I'm not cut out to be an official." Bai Zhuo came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
He knows best what kind of person he is. He can teach the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect here, but he is definitely not capable of becoming an official and governing such a big city as Zhongyuan.
Gu Chan said earnestly, "I know you are not capable of this, so I specially asked my eldest niece to go with you. When you become the county magistrate, she will always be by your side to assist you. Together, the two of you will surely be able to govern the entire Zhongyuan City well."
"Oh, so that's how it is! Then I understand." Bai Zhuo let out a long "oh" and suddenly he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Just now at the foot of the cliff, Gu Chan told him that she would give him a chance to pursue Shen Ya. Now the chance has come, right? Even if he is stupid, he will not miss this great opportunity and fail Gu Chan's kindness, right?
Gu Chan had a wicked smile on her face and winked at Bai Zhuo.
Bai Zhuo immediately understood, knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude, then reached out to take the three-piece suit of the county magistrate from Gu Chan.
The lowly position of Zhongyuan City County Magistrate fell on him by accident, which surprised Gu Chan. Anyway, she wanted Shen Hao to be the magistrate before she came here.
Now she can only say that things in the world are hard to predict, and when a person is really lucky, nothing can stop it!
