Chapter 335 Is he really Gu Zhiyun's biological father? The old father's worries: I just hope my daughter won't be sold off!

When Formation Grand Master said this, his tone was extremely sincere.

As an old veteran of the Jianghu who had lived for hundreds of years, he was as clear-headed as a mirror.

Facing a Prodigy like Lin Mo, any hypocritical attempts to get close or playing mind games would only be seen through at a glance, instead increasing resentment.

Only treating him with sincere honesty was the best way to build a relationship.

This was both forging a good relationship for the Gu Family and making a long-term investment in his own judgment.

"I understand everything you've said, Uncle Gu."

Lin Mo nodded, his expression calm.

"But the Yanyang Holy Land is a goal I decided on long ago."

"Besides..."

"Don't I have a Grand Elder standing behind me now?"

"With her there, I think that no matter how deep the waters are within the Holy Land, there should still be a place for me, right?"

He smiled meaningfully.

"Ha... You're right, nephew!"

Hearing this, Formation Grand Master was stunned for a moment before he also laughed.

"Look at my brain; I was truly blinded by concern."

"With the Burning Heaven Holy Venerable as your backer, how could you possibly be mistreated in the Holy Land?"

"Those blind fools, even if they wanted to move against you, would have to first consider whether they could withstand that adult's wrath."

"I worried too much, far too much."

Formation Grand Master shook his head and laughed at himself.

Then, his expression became solemn once again.

"In any case, it's good that you understand these things, nephew."

"If..."

"I mean if, in the future, you truly have designs on the position of Saint..."

"And you need support, feel free to come find Uncle Gu!"

"Though I am incompetent, I am willing to lead the Gu Family to cheer for you!"

Having said that, he flipped his hand and produced a token carved entirely from green jade,

with complex Formation patterns engraved upon it, and solemnly handed it to Lin Mo.

"This..."

Lin Mo looked at the Green Jade Token, which emitted faint spatial fluctuations, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Uncle Gu, what is this?"

"This is a token of my Gu Family, and also my, Formation Grand Master's, personal token."

Formation Grand Master pressed the token into Lin Mo's hand and explained:

"With this token, if you encounter Gu Family Disciples while traveling in the future, you can order them around as you please, as if I were there in person!"

"If you encounter any trouble you can't solve, you can also use it to contact me at any time!"

At this point, Formation Grand Master straightened his back, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of the pride belonging to a Family head.

"Hehe... Although my Gu Family is just a small Family tucked away in a corner of Shengyang Prefecture, incomparable to those Immortal Holy Lands."

"But in reality, my Gu Family has a Legacy of ten thousand years; we still have some foundation."

"Even over at the Yanyang Holy Land, we have some face and can say a few words!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo was suddenly startled.

He looked at the seemingly ordinary Green Jade Token in his hand and instantly understood its weight.

A Family that calls itself a "small Family" actually dares to say they have some face in the Yanyang Holy Land, the Dominator of Shengyang Prefecture?

How strong must their confidence be?

It's possible that within the Gu Family's Ancestral Lands, there are one or two Saint Realm ancestors who have lived for countless years!

"Since Uncle Gu treats me with such sincerity, then I will accept this kindness!"

At the thought that there might be a Saint-Grade Formation Master standing behind the Gu Family, Lin Mo's heart grew even more eager!

This was a proper high-quality resource bank!

In the future, whether Great Xia needs high-level Formation support or I need some Formation Materials, the Gu Family will definitely be a powerful backer!

So he did not decline and immediately pocketed the precious Green Jade Token generously.

"Hahaha! Good!"

"You truly are straightforward, nephew! I like your unreserved personality!"

Seeing Lin Mo accept his token without hesitation, the smile on Formation Grand Master's face grew even wider, his mouth almost stretching to his ears.

However, amidst his happiness, he was actually feeling a bit suspicious.

"Strange..."

"Why do I feel like... the process of building a relationship with this kid was a bit too smooth?"

"So smooth that it's as if..."

"He was already very familiar with me..."

Formation Grand Master pondered to himself, but the feeling came and went quickly, so he could only attribute it to the fact that they truly hit it off.

"Sigh..."

Just then, as if thinking of something, the smile on Formation Grand Master's face suddenly faded a bit, and he sighed softly.

"It's just a pity..."

"A pity about what?" Lin Mo was stunned.

"It's a pity that my young and playful daughter is currently missing."

"Otherwise, I would have to drag her here and introduce her to you properly!"

"Let her open her eyes and see what a true dragon among men is, what a peerless Prodigy is!"

"To stop her from being so arrogant all day, refusing to submit to anyone."

Formation Grand Master shook his head, looking regretful.

"Oh?"

"Uncle Gu, you have a daughter?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo's heart stirred, but he put on a curious look and asked:

"To be mentioned by you, Uncle Gu, she must be a gifted and beautiful young lady, right?"

"Pah! What gifted young lady!"

Formation Grand Master waved his hand, looking disappointed.

"Compared to you, nephew, it's like the difference between clouds and mud; there's no comparison!"

"My daughter was spoiled by her mother and me in her early years; she has a very mischievous temperament and doesn't listen to what we say at home."

"And now..."

"A while ago, some Elders in the Family were bored and insisted on arranging a marriage for her, some kind of alliance."

"But that wretched girl!"

"She didn't even come to discuss it with me; she just left a letter without saying a word and ran away from home!"

"Isn't that infuriating?"

Mentioning this, Formation Grand Master's face immediately fell, and he began to vent his grievances to Lin Mo, looking like a helpless father worried sick.

"Sigh... She doesn't stop to think, in this Gu Family, is it me, the Family head, who has the final say, or those Elders?"

"As long as she's unwilling, could I, as her father, possibly force her to marry?"

"Even if I had to fall out with the Elders, I would still protect her!"

"But she ran faster than a rabbit, not even leaving me a chance to explain!"

"Ahaha..."

Seeing Formation Grand Master's aggrieved face, Lin Mo's mouth twitched, and he could only laugh awkwardly.

"It's not entirely incomprehensible..."

"Young people are always a bit impulsive; it's normal to be a bit rebellious."

He offered a casual word of comfort and then tentatively asked:

"Then Uncle Gu, did you come all this way to the Aurora Domain just for...?"

"Exactly!"

Formation Grand Master nodded and sighed:

"It's to find that wretched girl!"

"Think about it, she's just a girl with low cultivation and no experience in the Jianghu."

"Running out all by herself like that, isn't she afraid of being sold!"

"There are so many bad people out there; what if she encounters someone with ill intentions who kidnaps her?"

"Her mother is worried sick at home, urging me to come out and find her every day..."

"If I still can't find her, I won't be able to face her when I go back!"

Saying this, Formation Grand Master seemed to think of the "tigress" at home and couldn't help but shiver, shrinking his neck.

"Tsk..."

Lin Mo secretly complained in his heart.

It seems this Master Gu, who is so glorious outside, has no status at home.

His Family status is truly somewhat worrying.

However, he remained calm on the surface and continued to follow the conversation:

"In that case, Uncle Gu, could you tell me the Young Miss's name?"

"So I can keep an eye out."

"If I'm lucky enough to meet her outside later, I can tell her that you're looking for her all over the world and that she should hurry home."

This was perfectly reasonable, exactly how an enthusiastic junior should behave.

Formation Grand Master was even more moved upon hearing this and gave his answer without a second thought.

"Oh, my daughter's name is Gu Zhiyun."

"Her cultivation isn't high, just around the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"She did inherit some of my talent and is slightly proficient in Formations."

"If you really do see her, nephew, you don't need to send her back."

"Just notify me, or..."

Formation Grand Master paused, his eyes lighting up slightly.

"Or simply let her stay by your side; it would be good for her to gain some experience!"

"To keep her from being like a frog in a well at home all day!"

"Good heavens!"

After hearing this answer, the last bit of uncertainty in Lin Mo's heart completely vanished.

It's confirmed!

Completely confirmed!

It turns out this Master Gu really is Gu Zhiyun's biological father!

No wonder I felt they looked somewhat alike earlier.

However... although this was verified, Lin Mo's mood became even more awkward, and he even felt a bit guilty.

Because... the precious daughter Formation Grand Master described as having "low cultivation, slight proficiency in Formations, and fear of being sold"... had actually already been sold!

And the person who sold her was none other than Lin Mo himself, who was currently sitting opposite him and acting so friendly!

Not only was she sold, but she was packaged up, soul and all, and sent to another world to work as illegal labor!

If Formation Grand Master knew the truth... that the precious daughter he was searching so hard for had actually been kidnapped by this "good nephew" in front of him.

Would he still be so pleasant to him?

Wouldn't he pull out a Killing Formation on the spot and fight him to the death?!
