Chapter 423: 142 Peak Core Formation Strength, Divided Spirit Cultivation Technique (10K for Monthly Tickets)_1
Originally, Gao Teng planned to bring Gao Yuanyuan with him to make initial contact with the mysterious True Man, who had seized the third-grade Spirit Jade mine, and probe the man’s background.
Then, based on his findings, the Gao Family would decide whether to form an alliance with this man, and whether to let Gao Yuanyuan dedicate herself to him as a means to achieve the Gao Family’s goals.
However, Gao Yuanyuan’s kneeling and her words put Gao Teng and the entire Gao Family on a fire grill.
This act of kneeling was not merely a trampling on the dignity of the Gao Family; it had also lowered the head of the Gao Family, conceded them inferior in front of this man.
As a result, the Gao Family and he were completely put in a passive position.
Now, facing the pressure of the Taoist Puppet, Gao Teng yearned to respond in a neither servile nor overbearing manner; he at least couldn’t let the Gao Family bow their heads so low.
But could he still accomplish that?
Gao Yuanyuan’s kneeling left the Gao Family utterly exposed!
Humm!
The Taoist Puppet stood up, and an even more powerful and terrifying aura pressed down like a mystical mountain, heavy on Gao Teng’s heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Gao Teng’s face turned slightly pale. Even as a fifth-stage Core Formation True Man, he found himself in a state of panic at this moment.
Gao Teng quickly bowed his head, his voice slightly trembling, “If Yuanyuan is willing to serve at your side, and you are willing to accept Yuanyuan, then, then this is indeed a good thing. I support it!”
However, at this moment, in Gao Teng’s heart, he was considering disowning Gao Yuanyuan from the Gao Family.
This youngster can’t be trusted; she absolutely cannot be allowed to be in charge of the Gao Family.
Otherwise, there’s a chance she might even sell off the Gao Family one day!
There are some situations, some matters that once they break free of his control, it would be very hard to salvage them.
Just like right now.
The Taoist Puppet revealed a satisfied smile on his face, and said, “In that case, she will follow by my side from now on.”
“Oh, right. I’ve heard before that Taoist Friend Gao promised that whoever among the four branches of the Gao Family could reclaim this third-grade Spirit Jade mine would become the new Family Head of the Gao Family.”
The Taoist Puppet stared at Gao Teng again, “Taoist Friend Gao, is this true?”
Gao Teng’s face changed instantly, he lifted his head and locked eyes with the Taoist Puppet.
However, just one glance caused Gao Teng’s mind to throb violently. An unimaginable, terrifying spiritual strike bombarded his spiritual sea. Under this spiritual pressure, Gao Teng experienced an unprecedented sense of fear and despair of death.
This man before him definitely had the power to kill him!
Gao Teng swallowed the retort that had reached his mouth, wanting to cry out from the oppression. This was the Gao Family’s internal affair, and he held the final say in the Gao Family.
Why now – did things not seem to be the same as before?
Gao Teng wore a sorrowful expression, his face looked quite hideous, he said, “Yes, that is indeed true, but-”
Just as he was about to defend himself in a desperate attempt,
The Taoist Puppet waved his hand to dismiss him, “That’s enough.”
“Starting from now, the management of this third-grade Spirit Jade mine will be given to Yuanyuan. However, because of this, Taoist Friend Gao, you need to fulfil your promise and let Yuanyuan be the Family Head of the Gao Family.”
“There shouldn’t be any complications, right? After all, she brought back such a big Spirit Jade mine for your Gao Family and is your Gao Family’s hero.”
Upon hearing these words, the still kneeling Gao Yuanyuan in front of the Taoist Puppet couldn’t help but feel elated. She looked up at the Taoist Puppet, her eyes full of unspeakable charm, her autumnal eyes clear and sparkling, inducing pity.
You cannot deny it, this woman really knew her way with things.
First, she chose to lean on a huge tree like the Taoist Puppet, contacting him with the lowest posture.
Then, when the Taoist Puppet was asking for her to be the Family Head, she showed him her sweet, submissive side.
She did not care at all about the Taoist Puppet’s old, white-haired appearance.
This kind of woman, she had lots of cunning strategies.
Gao Teng’s eyelids twitched, he said, “Elder, Yuanyuan is still young and probably can’t convince everyone in the family yet. However, if you back her up to become the Family Head of the Gao Family, it’s not impossible. For the time being, I’ll let Yuanyuan first become the successor to the Family Head, and let her gain acceptance in the family over a period of time before promoting her to be the Family Head. How about that?”
However, the Taoist Puppet didn’t give him the opportunity to evade it, saying, “After all, Taoist Friend Gao, you are the elder of the Gao Family, who in the family would dare refute your words?”
“I have decided, since Yuanyuan is capable, let her be the Family Head of the Gao Family.”
“I hope that this matter can be completed as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, if I have to step in to facilitate, the result is not something that you, Taoist Friend Gao, would want to see.”
Gao Teng:
So suffocating!
All he wanted to do right now was slap himself. Why did he listen to Gao Yuanyuan and bring her here?
Now, the great Gao Family has become like a subordinate to this person!
He even interfered in the position of the Gao Family Head and promoted Gao Yuanyuan to that seat!
With a wave of his hand dismissing Gao Teng and Lín Shu, the Taoist Puppet looked at Gao Yuanyuan kneeling in front of him and said, “What you wanted, I have given you. You should know what to do from now on, right?”
“Yuanyuan understands.”
“From today on, Yuanyuan will serve by your side day and night.”
Wearing a shy expression on her face, and without any hesitation, she moved her mana and her white chiffon robe slipped from her shoulders, followed by the light pink gown inside.
