Chapter 18: Let’s See If You Have the Look of an Ancestor

Gu Qingxiao shook his head, thinking how old they were yet still acting like children.

Gu Qingxiao was about to leave when he saw the Fourteenth Ancestor sneaking in.

"Little Fifteen has left, right?"

Gu Qingxiao nodded, feeling a bit of a headache. These ancestors were great in many ways, but they could be quite troublesome.

"Hehe, good, it's good that he's gone."

"Awoo."

Suddenly, the Fourteenth Ancestor let out a startled cry and then collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, the Fifteenth Ancestor's fingers were together, showcasing an evil smile.

"Fourth Brother, why did you fall down?"

"You really are ruthless, kid!"

"Fifteen, I need to say a word or two to you. Qingxiao is still here; what if you lead him astray?"

"Bang, bang, bang."

At that moment, three large bumps suddenly appeared on the heads of the ancestors.

It turned out the Thirteenth Ancestor had entered.

"Do you two even look like ancestors right now? Look at what you've become."

The group fell silent, standing quietly behind Gu Qingxiao.

When Gu Qingxiao was born not long after, they brought him close, hoping that his parents would have a few more children.

After all, since Gu Qingxiao had a Divine Demon Physique, what if another extraordinary physique appeared? But after all these years, not a single one had been born. What was even more frustrating was that two of them had broken through; they hadn't allowed them to advance before, insisting they should have children first, and yet, in the midst of trying, they had broken through.

"Dear grandson, your father is no longer capable."

The Thirteenth Ancestor's words startled Gu Qingxiao.

"What happened?"

"What do you mean, what happened?"

"Didn't you say my father is no longer capable?"

"Oh, I meant that your father can't have children anymore, so this important task is handed over to you. Although you haven't held your coming-of-age ceremony yet, your bloodline is strong enough to have children."

"I discussed with you and the other ancestors to find a few thousand strong women for you to deal with first, to see if you can produce some offspring."

"You know that our family's younger generation isn't doing well, so the pressure is on you now."

Gu Qingxiao looked at the serious expressions of the Thirteenth Ancestor and the contemplative faces of the other three ancestors, then sighed.

"Ancestors, have you thought of a plan?"

"What plan?"

"As long as we eliminate the younger generation that is better than our Gu family, our family's genes would improve overtime, which will effectively make us stronger"

Upon hearing Gu Qingxiao's words, they displayed shocked expressions, their eyes widening.

"No wonder you can pee so far."

The Sixteenth Ancestor spoke, Gu Qingxiao nearly punched him.

Thinking back to his childhood when he couldn't understand much, he competed with the Sixteenth Ancestor to see who could pee further, he never expected that the Sixteenth Ancestor still remembered that!

"Alright, don't you have things to attend to? Hurry up and go; we'll discuss this."

The Thirteenth Ancestor waved his hand, shooing Gu Qingxiao away.

"How do you all feel about this method?"

"Not very good; although we are young, ambushing younger people doesn't seem right, does it?"

The Sixteenth Ancestor pondered for a moment and spoke.

"We are all young people, so we can't call it an ambush. We can say we are borrowing their lives for fun; they surely won't be so stingy."

The Thirteenth Ancestor considered it and said.

"Get back here!"

A stern voice echoed in their minds.

They immediately closed their mouths and returned to their respective tombs.

"Damn, is my coffin not ready yet?"

The Sixteenth Ancestor and the Fifteenth Ancestor exclaimed as they rushed back to their tombs.

After all, they didn't even have a place to sleep.

When Gu Qingxiao returned to the Xiaoyao Hall, two figures were already waiting for him.

Upon seeing Gu Qingxiao arrive, the two of them smiled.

These two were Gu Qingxiao's parents, Qin Junze and Yun Shu.

"Qingxiao has been doing well lately; our family's Divine Son should be this domineering."

"Father, I've been so diligent; shouldn't you be a bit more diligent too? The ancestors are urging me to have children now."

Upon hearing this, their faces displayed awkward expressions.

Yun Shu looked at her son.

"Son, who gave you this idea?"

Without hesitation, Gu Qingxiao revealed the names of the Sixteenth Ancestor, Fifteenth Ancestor, Fourteenth Ancestor, and Thirteenth Ancestor.

These old ancestors were really something.

Gu Qingxiao silently thought to himself.

"They were supposed to have me handle this matter; although their talents aren't particularly great, they have always been following you. Now that something has happened, it's up to you to solve it. But your approach surprised me."

"You are the son of our Gu family, and the future of the Gu family depends on you. You can do whatever you want; if you can't defeat them, just dig up the ancestors' graves. All this talk about the older generation not being able to intervene is nonsense—power is what matters. If they don't like it, they'll have to bear with it; without strength, how can the family develop?"

"The ancestors work so hard to cultivate just to provide protection for their disciples. Those rules are set for the weak; they know it's merely a psychological comfort."

Gu Qingxiao nodded upon hearing this, surprised that his father was so clear-headed.

"Father, Mother, I'll take my leave for now; after all, there's still someone I need to eliminate."

A fleeting glimmer of killing intent flashed in Gu Qingxiao's eyes.

Yun Shu looked at Gu Qingxiao, taking him in.

"Son, that red brocade robe looks really good on you; wear this from now on, i like it."

Gu Qingxiao nodded and left.

After Gu Qingxiao departed, Yun Shu sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"This group of old fools—he's still a child! I can't stand it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get."

After saying this, Yun Shu directly broke through the void and vanished.

Once Yun Shu left, Gu Junze sighed and prepared a table of food, bringing out a few jugs of good wine, waiting quietly.

At this time, the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Ancestors had just finished making their coffins. They lay down inside to test them and exclaimed, "Ah, this is really nice!"

"Bang, bang, bang."

Then came the sound of the coffin breaking.

The two old ancestors' eyes were filled with fury; the coffins they had painstakingly created were shattered. Do you have any idea how damaging that is for them, who are hundreds of thousands of years old?

Seeing the figure before them, they smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaoshu is here; was it enjoyable? If not, I can make a few more."

"Sixteenth Ancestor, Fifteenth Ancestor, Fourteenth Ancestor, Thirteenth Ancestor, come out!"

The four old ancestors dared not speak.

Standing together, they exchanged glances, pushing and shoving, too afraid to speak.

"Qingxiao is still a child; how can you ask him to have children?"

Upon hearing this, they fell silent.

When Yun Shu gave birth to Gu Qingxiao, she had almost died, and he was a Divine Demon Physique—a definite prodigy. Plus, Gu Qingxiao was taken away by them right after he was born.

So every time they saw Yun Shu, they felt a pang of guilt.
