Someone once said that the strongest fighting strength of the Gu Clan was its cohesiveness! Otherwise, the Gu Clan would've ceased to exist long ago …
However, it was precisely because of this that such a clan could erupt with unimaginable power once it had a powerful leader.
A fist could create a crater in a vast desert that spanned tens of thousands of miles. This was because the fist was clenched together. The desert was big, but it was scattered sand!
This was the power of the Gu Clan!
A King Level Expert jokingly laughed and said, "It seems that it's all thanks to Young Miss. If Young Miss wasn't in the Dragon Prison Cave, Young Clan Lord wouldn't have been so desperate. He broke through from Martial Great Master to Sword Emperor in two years. He's the only one in the entire Heaven since ancient times."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
However, Gu Du Xing's complexion slowly turned cold when he heard this. It gradually became as cold as ice. He couldn't accept the fact that Gu Miao Ling had been in the Dragon Prison Cave for a long time.
He couldn't even mention it in a joke!
Gu Du Xing's eyes turned cold. He slowly said, "I don't want anyone to mention this matter again! The Dragon Prison Cave must be destroyed! If anyone dares to mention it again, don't blame me for not giving face. "
Gu Du Xing became angry. Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with awe-inspiring sword energy. That King Level Expert felt a chill in his heart. His complexion turned deathly pale.
Gu Du Xing knew that he was only joking. He didn't have any evil intentions. So, he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Then, he insipidly said, "Actually … I'd rather be nothing. I'd rather be a beggar. I don't want Sister Xiao Miao to suffer those years of pain … If I can abolish my cultivation as a Sword Emperor in exchange for that painful experience in Sister Xiao Miao's life … then I, Gu Du Xing, won't hesitate."
He gently looked around. Then, he deeply bowed and said, "So … I don't want to hear about this matter again. I hope that everyone will respect my decision. "
Gu Du Xing's words were extremely impolite. But, everyone felt deep veneration for him!
There had been countless heroes since ancient times. Who would be willing to make such a sacrifice for his woman? Even if it was just words, it was still very rare! The status of women in the Heaven Continent was low.
But Gu Du Xing had said it, and everyone believed that if this matter was really feasible, Gu Du Xing would not hesitate at all!
Because he was willing to break through to Sword Emperor in two years for Gu Miao Ling. Even if he was willing to cripple himself in an instant for Gu Miao Ling!
As long as Gu Miao Ling needed it!
Everyone knew how much effort one had to put in to break through to the Sword Emperor Realm within two years! That was definitely not any better than the feeling of being dismembered every day for the past two years!
Gu Du Xing did it. Although he didn't say it, they were all martial artists. Who wouldn't be able to imagine the hellish feeling?
Therefore, no one doubted the sincerity of Gu Duxing's words at this moment!
This cold-faced young man, for his love, could ignite a fire that could burn the heavens and earth at any time. Even if he burned himself to ashes, he would not regret it!
He could do it!
Gu Yun Lan's eyes lit up. He felt gratified in his heart. For Gu Duxing to be able to say such words, it was enough to show that his daughter did not entrust her life to the wrong person. He could finally rest assured.
At this point, the discomfort in Gu Yun Lan's heart completely disappeared.
Gu Miao Ling was his daughter after all. His daughter was going to get married when she grew up. As a parent, he felt anxious, reluctant, and indignant at this time.
Even if his son-in-law was his righteous son, he still couldn't dispel this feeling. This was an extremely strange and contradictory state of mind for a father.
He hoped that his daughter would be happy. He hoped that his daughter would live her life as soon as possible. But, he didn't want his daughter to get married …
But, what else could Gu Yun Lan say after hearing Gu Du Xing's words? He turned his back, and wiped the corners of his eyes when no one was paying attention. Then, he silently said in his heart, "Mother of the child … our son is no longer here. But, our daughter can obtain the greatest happiness a woman can obtain …"
"Moreover, our son-in-law is a man who values affection and righteousness. He is our righteous son. There is no difference between him and our son … You can rest assured. I will have a good chat with you when we go back tonight. I will have a good drink with you. We may be separated in the netherworld, but I know that you can feel it. "
"I remember that you held my hand tightly when you passed away. You couldn't say a word. I know that you were worried. I know … I hope that you will teach our son a good lesson in the netherworld. Don't let them be debauchees like they were when they were alive …"
Gu Yun Lan wiped his eyes, and turned around. He smiled, and looked at Gu Duxing. He felt the joyous atmosphere, and said in his heart, "Mother of the child … it would be great if you were by my side at this moment! Then, I would have no more regrets in this life … "
I remember that you were always angry and jealous at that time. But did you know that ever since you passed away, I have never looked at another woman in the eye. Every night, I can't sleep well. In my dreams, I would drink with you in front of your portrait …
"I miss you so much …"
"Duxing can do for Gu Miao Ling. I can do the same for you!" "Can you feel it?"
Gu Yun Lan quietly walked out of the hall amidst the jubilation. The laughter behind him gradually became more and more distant … until it couldn't be heard anymore.
Gu Yun Lan was in his bedroom not long after. He raised a pot of wine, and looked at the portrait on the wall. He smiled and said, "Ling Er, today is a big day. They are celebrating. I also want to celebrate with you. I can't drink without you on this big day. I want to get drunk with you today! "
He looked at the portrait for a long time. Then, he raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.
There was an incense burner in front of the portrait. Green smoke was rising in spirals.
A cup of wine was as calm as still water.
A pair of chopsticks was upright.
There was a young woman in the portrait. She had a gentle face. Her clothes were fluttering in the wind. Her eyes were full of worry and reluctance. She seemed to be quietly looking at the white-haired man in front of her. She seemed to be consoling him. She seemed to be sighing. She seemed to be crying …
"Cheers!" Gu Yun Lan closed his eyes, and drank another cup.
"I can finally put down the burden on my shoulders after today. I will be with you from now on."
"You didn't like it when I was busy every day. You said that I didn't have time to accompany you. But, I can finally accompany you every day from now on."
"You didn't like it when I drank. But, you would sit quietly on the side every time I drank. You would fill my cup. Your eyes would be full of helplessness … I want … to look at you one more time. I want you to pour me another cup of wine … "
"Ling Er, I miss you so much."
Gu Yun Lan murmured. He drank one cup of wine after another. But, his eyes were closed the whole time. That was because he could feel his beloved wife by his side. She was pouring wine for him. She was worried about him. But, she was looking at him tenderly …
He was afraid that he would see that cold portrait again if he opened his eyes.
His nose seemed to smell a vaguely familiar fragrance …
A long time passed. Then, the wine pot fell to the ground with a bang. Gu Yun Lan slowly leaned on the table. He closed his eyes, and fell asleep …
"Ling Er … is she okay over there?" he murmured …
A gust of wind blew in through the window. And, the portrait fluttered in the air. It seemed that the woman in the portrait was anxiously looking at her man. She couldn't wait to come out of the portrait, and cover him with clothes …
The night wind was chilly …
….
In the following days, the Gu Clan announced to the public — [Clan Lord Gu Yun Lan will retire. He will live in seclusion behind the scenes. He won't get involved in the clan's affairs from now on!]
[The new Clan Lord will be the former Young Clan Lord of the Gu Clan, Gu Du Xing!] [From now on, the Gu Clan will have a change of dynasty.] [The new Clan Lord, Gu Du Xing, will have absolute supreme authority in the Gu Clan!]
[This announcement is hereby made to the world.]
[Due to the current turmoil in Jianghu, we will invite the people of Jianghu to hold a grand ceremony for the new Clan Lord.]
[At the same time, there is another announcement — The new Clan Lord of the Gu Clan, Gu Du Xing, will exchange betrothal gifts with the former Clan Lord's eldest daughter, Gu Miao Ling.
Similarly, the marriage will be officially consummated after the turmoil in Jianghu subsides.]
[In other words, Gu Du Xing has a bountiful harvest in both his career and love. If you add in his limitless future … then he will have a bountiful harvest!]
….
While Gu Du Xing was returning to the Gu Clan, Chu Yang had also finally arrived at the Mo Clan.
Hearing that King of Hell Chu had arrived, Mo Tian Ji rushed out to welcome him. He held Chu Yang's hand tightly and shook it repeatedly, "It's great that you're here. I was worried that no one would talk to me …"
Chu Yang pulled his hand back and stared at Mo Tian Ji. He said vigilantly, "You can talk to me if you have good things to talk about. But if it's bad things, then don't talk about it."
Mo Tian Ji was stunned. [How can this guy be so shrewd?]
He didn't know that Chu Yang was shrewd. But today, he wasn't shrewd. He was experienced.
In his previous life, the two of them were very close. Chu Yang was very clear about Mo Tian Ji's habits!
This understanding included Mo Tian Ji's reaction when his eyebrows moved to the upper left corner, and the reason why his eyebrows moved to the upper right corner … In other words, if you raise your butt, I will know if you want to shit or fart!
With such a deep understanding, how could Chu Yang be fooled by Mo Tian Ji's apparent enthusiasm?
Mo Tian Ji only had a superficial understanding of Chu Yang in this life. But, Chu Yang had studied Mo Tian Ji for two lifetimes!
It could be said that Chu Yang's understanding of Mo Tian Ji had reached the point of authority. If this was a subject, Chu Yang could be called a great master! The kind that had never been seen before!
For example, some of Mo Tian Ji's habits. If Mo Tian Ji had a card up his sleeve, his unhurried attitude could make a person with the best self-restraint vomit blood and die!
Mo Tian Ji's enthusiasm and familiarity at first sight made Chu Yang feel that there was a conspiracy behind it. [Moreover … this guy wants to use me!]
Therefore, before Mo Tian Ji could open his mouth, Chu Yang had already sealed the door!
[No matter how many tricks you have, I will not move!]
