The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 581 This is simply turning the world upside down!

Hearing what Grandpa Gu said, the others nodded in agreement: "That's right, we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders. What if it recognizes us as members of the Gu family?"

Gu Yuanben felt this was somewhat unnecessary; he genuinely couldn't stand the sight of the bronze seal.

But seeing the obvious warning in his grandfather's eyes, Gu Yuan swallowed the words that were about to come out.

That very evening, the Gu family issued a summons to their children who were away training.

All the younger generation with outstanding qualities were recalled, and even those who were stranded abroad were called back in a series of urgent calls.

The next day, the training ground near the old house suddenly became lively.

The younger members of the Gu family who knew each other began to whisper among themselves in twos and threes.

"Do you know what happened? The clan leader actually used the emergency summoning order, and I was only halfway through my training."

"How would I know? I just made plans with my friends, and now I have to stand them up. I don't even know if they'll want to talk to me next time."

"Well, I've heard something about it. It seems to be related to a ritual object that was previously enshrined in the ancestral hall."

"Could it be that the magical artifact was stolen? Could it be that they suspect us? I would be so wronged! I haven't been back for seven years!"

……

Gu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes as he heard various speculations and rumors circulating around him.

Then he looked at his cousin, who was in charge of managing these trainees.

"I never expected that people from our Gu family would be such gossips. That's how countless rumors started!"

The cousin gave an awkward laugh, then quietly shifted his position.

He really didn't want to get too close to this cousin who was unpredictable and held a high position of power.

I'm afraid that if the other person gets beaten to death because of their sharp tongue, their blood will splatter on them.

Fortunately, the elders in the Gu family don't like formalism or starting with passionate speeches and ideological education.

Once everyone on the list had arrived, the clan elder stepped forward and explained the matter in a few words.

Finally, he said, "That's the gist of it. Now, anyone interested, come forward and give it a try."

The implication is that whoever can make this ancient bronze seal recognize its owner will essentially get this magical artifact for free.

The Gu family members, who had previously made various speculations, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then a new wave of discussion broke out.

"Holy crap, what a stroke of luck! This is a magical artifact that can hide itself, it's absolutely awesome!"

"Whoever manages to make this magical artifact recognize them as their master will be incredibly cool and will definitely become the star among their peers!"

"I've always been very lucky, and I think I have a good chance. Everyone, let's rely on our own abilities!"

……

The elders of the Gu family, sitting on the high platform, looked at the younger generation below, who were all confident, active, and in excellent spirits, and nodded in satisfaction.

The elder smiled and said to Old Master Gu beside him, "Your idea is good. It's better to make it public so that the younger generation can strive for good things themselves."

Letting these children see our fairness and impartiality will also increase their sense of family cohesion.

Another elder quickly chimed in, "The First Elder is absolutely right."

Grandpa Gu chuckled softly, his tone tinged with humility.

"If there are any benefits, they should naturally be given to our Gu family first. We just hope that one of them can tame this magical artifact."

Immediately, someone echoed Old Master Gu's words: "That's for sure. The Gu family's legacy is not just for show. The children are all outstanding." "Indeed, every single one of the Gu family's children is excellent!"

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Without exception, none of the younger members of the Gu family who had been tested could decipher the totem on the seal.

Now, Old Master Gu's expression calmed down considerably. It seemed that his grandson was right before; it was better to sell this magical artifact that couldn't be tamed!
Seeing that the younger members of the Gu family were about to finish their tests, Gu Yuan was not surprised at all.

This magical artifact wouldn't even recognize someone as talented as his sister Yunran, so how could it so easily recognize someone whose aptitude is clearly several levels lower?

Although the seal will be sold sooner or later anyway, going through this formality will make it easier for Old Master Gu and his team to manage people's hearts and minds. It can be considered a way to reuse waste.

Seeing that there were only a few people left, Gu Yuan decided not to watch any longer and stood up.

Then his cousin, who was known as the "Little Spirit Child," suddenly vomited blood.

Gu Yuan's expression changed immediately, and he quickly rushed to his younger cousin's side.

She quickly gave her younger cousin some medicine before anxiously asking, "Gu Ling, how are you!"

Fifteen-year-old Gu Ling clutched her chest and managed to utter a single sentence.

"Brother... this magical artifact got angry, that's why it injured me..."

Grandpa Gu and the other elders had already walked up to Gu Ling's side.

Upon hearing Gu Ling's words, Old Master Gu's face darkened: "What did you say?"

The younger members of the Gu family who had been tested before also gathered around, their faces full of shock.

"Angry?"

"What? A magical artifact can generate anger and harm people? This is completely contrary to the principles of Heaven!"

……

If it weren't for the presence of the elders, the younger generation of the Gu family would have almost lost their temper.

Gu Ling took the medicine given to her by Gu Yuan, and the sharp pain in her chest gradually subsided. Her youthful face then became somewhat tense.

He is the only person in the Gu family of this generation who can communicate with spirits without using any mystical methods.

He can easily communicate with any living being, whether it is a sentient being or a magical artifact.

"Grandpa, this magical artifact is very unhappy right now. It hates us disturbing it and doesn't want to talk to its other brothers, so it warned me a couple of times."

As Gu Ling finished speaking, the anger of the Gu family members became even more uncontrollable!

Damn it, this is a broken magic artifact. They've been worshipped by the Gu family for so many years, and they're not even willing to show their supernatural powers to protect them.

They actually injured the fifteen-year-old Gu Ling just because they were unhappy, as a warning to them?
What is this if not ingratitude!
Just as the others were about to unleash a torrent of curses, Old Master Gu raised his hand to silence them.

"Can you communicate with it? Do you know its origins?"

Gu Ling nodded, then shook her head.

"It was a one-sided warning to me; it wasn't communicated with me, and I don't know where it came from."

However, it didn't really intend to hurt me; it was just warning me. My strength was too weak to withstand its warning..."

After speaking, Gu Ling lowered his head somewhat guiltily. Although he was known as a child prodigy, he was still too young.

Compared to the other talented older brothers and sisters, there is still a gap; getting injured is also due to inferior skills.
