229: Chapter 210 Token 229: Chapter 210 Token The surna Gu is actually quite common in the East Continent.
But in Changye City, this surna…
has an extraordinary significance.
Mr.
Gu Changzhi, the only person in the East Continent to join the supre seat with the power of fire, has been asleep for nearly twenty years in Changye City.
During these two decades of rapid developnt, Changye established Qingzhong and thereby beca the largest district of East State Jiangbei.
In the background of all these developnts, one can vaguely sense the influence of an ancient nobility.
The Gu family.
Long before nurturing a beacon of hope for humanity like Gu Changzhi, this age-old colossal clan already held a firm grip on the economic and cultural lifelines of Jiangbei.
“…Please co in.”
Cui Zhongcheng sat upright and dignified, adjusting his posture and leaning back slightly, scrutinizing the Gu Family Envoy who had traveled all the way to Da Du.
A young man with soft and handso features and a high ponytail slowly pushed open the wooden door of the office.
He was clad in a retro-styled shoulder cloak and the corners of his lips bore a gentle smile.
“Mr.
Little Cui, my surna is Gu, nad Gu Nanfeng,” he got straight to the point and said, “The family has stationed in the North Continent, guarding the borderlands for eight years.
On my return to the East Continent, I made a special trip to Da Du…
with the hope of eting you as soon as possible before the Awakening Bill ends.”
“Interesting…” Cui Zhongcheng had hung up the phone, so Councilman Zhao couldn’t hear the contents of the conversation at this mont, and currently, no third person knew about the occurrence of this conversation.
The first sentence of Gu Nanfeng held a lot of information.
After Mr.
Gu Changzhi fell into slumber, the Gu family had beco divided with many differing voices, not as united as before…
There was a ti when disputes and struggles over the primary and secondary powers in Changye City occurred.
It was during those tis that Da Du District ca to know a piece of news in a hushed manner, that the Gu family had sent many of their young elites into the military fortresses in the North Continent.
Mr.
Gu Changzhi was once revered as the War God by thousands in the North Continent…
It’s said that in the most difficult tis in the Fortress, he stepped forward and turned the tide.
Consequently, he ford an extrely close comrade-in-arms relationship with the Empress.
When the East Continent was at its poorest and most desolate, there ca many orders and trade requests from the North Continent Fortress every year, hoping that East State Jiangbei could assist the Fortress in the research and developnt of energy, power machinery, and military readiness.
This undoubtedly supplied the East Continent with fresh blood, and it was also a guarantee made by the Empress for Mr.
Gu Changzhi.
Mr.
Gu Changzhi slept.
And still, in the Gu family, there were a few who could speak with authority.
If they wanted to board the ship of the North Continent’s strong military force, the entire East Continent would have to rely on the Gu family to pull strings.
Da Du, because of its low-key policies in recent years, had even refrained from making any direct statents on the matter of the Awakening Bill…
Almost nobody knew who the future chosen leader of Changye City would be, but it wasn’t hard to guess that this “leader” was definitely treading the sa path Mr.
Gu Changzhi had in the North Continent.
“If Changye has its own ideas about the bill…
you can directly propose them in the council,” Cui Zhongcheng replied in a business-like manner.
“Even if you are to be the future Head of the Gu family, seeking out in person, Huazhi will not change its stance.”
Gu Nanfeng just smiled.
The reason why Changye was reluctant to publicly express its views on the bill was actually quite simple…
Those currently leading Changye City couldn’t see clearly what impact the future course of the bill might have, and the city’s delicate ecology decided that no one was willing to stand up and take responsibility for their words and actions.
After Qingzhong was established, peace had been restored amidst a series of internal struggles, and the entire city of Changye was balanced carefully on a scale, with every person involved tacitly agreeing not to break the silence…
until soone capable of withstanding the pressing weight of the heavens awoke.
Until then, everyone would observe quietly and await changes.
“I’ve co to you…
not because of the bill.
Since Changye has chosen to sit back, we won’t exert undue pressure,” Gu Nanfeng said softly.
“I’ve co to you…
because I want to convey a piece of information.”
“What is it?”
“So far, this ssage is only circulating among a few key decision-makers in Changye…
It’s absolutely confidential to the outside world,” Gu Nanfeng paused before continuing, “It’s now confird…
Mr.
Gu Changzhi, sleeping in Qingzhong, is not dead, he still has consciousness.”
“???”
Cui Zhongcheng’s pupils shook.
Since the establishnt of Qingzhong, Mr.
Gu Changzhi had still not awakened, and according to the Tomb Ghost now being forced to toil in the ninth layer of Huazhi Underground, the whole Five Continents were very interested in the life and death of Mr.
Gu Changzhi…
But after Qingzhong was established, Extraordinary Essence was absorbed in large quantities, and even the Divine Throne couldn’t sense Mr.
Gu Changzhi’s presence.
Long ago in Central Continent, there was a very famous quantum scientist with the surna Xue.
Mr.
Xue once conducted an experint with a box and a cat.
Before the box was opened, no one knew whether the cat was alive or dead…
To make an inappropriate comparison, Qingzhong is like that box, and Mr.
Gu Changzhi is the cat inside it.
“You…
are certain?
What evidence do you have?”
When Cui Zhongcheng spoke, he realized his voice had clearly changed, becoming very hoarse.
If a third party were listening in, they would find it inconceivable because such a reaction was very rare indeed…
Even the sudden change during the alternate council mber ceremony didn’t cause Mr.
Little Cui to show astonishnt or bewildernt.
Seeing the look that appeared on Cui Zhongcheng’s face, Gu Nanfeng smiled.
Proving a person’s death is actually not an easy task.
Rumors had been circulating outside for many years…
but in the council, a cautiously subtle term “sleeping” was still used to describe the disappearance of Mr.
Gu Changzhi.
