The car traveled a long distance across most of Canada. After the reserve gasoline in the oil drum was used up, Xu Yun and the others finally came to a more prosperous city in the south. After refueling, replenishing, and a bunch of things were solved, several people were completely relaxed physically and mentally.
After getting in the car again, Xu Yun said to Jiuqian Xiu, "Mr. Jiu, we can now go directly to Seattle or go to Vancouver first. You haven't seen Old Gu for a long time, right?"
Jiuqian Xiu shook his head, "Let's go directly to Seattle. As for Mr. Gu … I haven't seen him for a long time. It's fine if we don't see each other."
This was Jiuqian Xiu's own choice. Although Gu Qiya did not understand what he was thinking, she would respect Jiuqian Xiu's decision. Perhaps he was such a person.
"It's a pity not to see him." Lin Ge could not understand, "It's not far from Vancouver. We don't care if we delay for a day. We are not in a hurry."
As long as Jiuqian Xiu was willing to help, it did not matter if they waited for another day. This idea was also Xu Yun's idea, so Xu Yun asked Jiuqian Xiu's opinion.
Jiuqian Xiu still shook his head.
"Well, then let's go directly to Seattle." Xu Yun said, "When things are done, if you want to see Old Gu, let Gu Qiya take you there."
Jiuqian Xiu did not speak. Maybe he had not thought about it yet, or maybe he felt that he did not know what to say when they met. It was more awkward to be restrained.
"If Uncle Jiu wants to go, then we will go." Gu Qiya said, "If Uncle Jiu feels inconvenient, then I will send you back."
"No need." Jiuqian Xiu shook his head, "I don't plan to go back again."
Lin Ge nodded, "That's right. That place is not safe now. Now the ecology is seriously damaged. That place is full of aggressive animals. There is no way to survive if you encounter a mutated one."
"Yeah, I should thank you." Jiuqian Xiu said, "If it weren't for you, if I met that giant bear, I'm afraid I would only end up being smashed and swallowed alive."
Jiuqian Xiu did not know that such a giant bear appeared in the place where he lived.
"It's a stroke of luck. This is also a kind of arrangement of fate, "Xu Yun said indifferently.
Hearing fate, Jiuqian Xiu was filled with emotion, "Yes, fate is really incredible … I didn't expect to meet you in my lifetime and help you … Fate, it's really fate. Fate wants me to pay my debts."
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean, Mr. Ninth Elder? You don't owe us anything, so how can you say that you're paying us back?"
"No, I owe your Xu Family too much." Jiuqian Xiu shook his head.
Gu Qiya knew that he definitely had a lot to say in his heart and had been holding it in. He wanted to say it, but he didn't know how to say it to Xu Yun.
"If it wasn't for your help this time, we definitely wouldn't have been able to solve this matter so easily. We owe you a favor," Lin Ge followed Xu Yun's words and said, "I didn't treat you well before. I'm sorry, Ninth Elder."
"Pigeon is right. Mr. Ninth Elder, we really want to apologize to you." Xu Yun said, "Our previous bad attitude was forced by the situation. I hope you can understand."
Jiuqian Xiu smiled bitterly, "Karma is a circle. What should be paid back must be paid back … What I owe your father, I've paid it back with you. It's God's love for me and gave me a chance to redeem myself."
Xu Yun was stunned. When Jiuqian Xiu mentioned his father, his face looked particularly ugly.
Gu Qiya said, "Uncle Jiu, in fact, if you say a lot of things, it will make you feel a lot more relaxed. Although we don't know what happened to your previous generation, those are things that have long passed. There is nothing to pursue now."
Xu Yun did not speak. He looked at Jiuqian Xiu, hoping that he could continue to say something.
Lin Ge also drove quietly. He was also curious about Jiuqian Xiu's past. He really wanted to know more about Jiuqian Xiu's past with the previous generation.
Jiuqian Xiu was silent for a while before he said, "Xu Yun … Although your father and I are not sworn friends, we are still friends. He was very good to me. He helped me, took care of me, and even saved me … But I betrayed him."
Xu Yun was shocked that Jiuqian Xiu betrayed him.
If Jiuqian Xiu just said that he knew his father, Xu Yun might not feel surprised. After all, his father used to be a powerful figure. Anyone who had a certain status and reputation in society would not be surprised if they said that they knew his father.
Xu Yun did not know much about his father, but he had heard too much about his father's glory from Zhang Taisui and Wang Yi, and even Wan Kuangxiao.
Let's put it this way. In the era of Xu Yun's father, if he said that he was the second, no one dared to say that they were the first.
Yun Liuyan of the Yun Family, the number one family at that time, was impressed by him. Empress Zuo Lengyue also knelt down beside him and worshipped him. How could such a person be described?
Xu Yun did not speak. He was waiting for Jiuqian Xiu to speak.
Those ephemeral matters were not important to Xu Yun. After all, it was more than twenty years ago, even before Xu Yun was born.
If Xu Yun were to pursue those things, it would be meaningless.
"Your father trusted me so much in the beginning." Jiuqian Xiu said sadly, "Just because I had such a little ability and helped him in some things, he treated me … treated me …"
Speaking of this, Jiuqian Xiu felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
After slightly adjusting her emotions, she continued to speak, "He has definitely done me a great favor. I have offended so many people. If it weren't for your father, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. He was willing to settle some things for me … "
"That's also because you helped him." Xu Yun said, "This is nothing. No one will leave someone who has helped them in the lurch."
Jiuqian Xiu shook his head with a wry smile, "Xu Yun, you don't know what I did in the beginning."
Xu Yun smiled slightly and stopped talking.
"Your father's good friends … Everyone has said that I am a person who can't be befriended. I am an unreliable person. I am a person who can't be trusted at all … but … sigh …"
Jiuqian Xiu suddenly took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mood again.
"Although I know little about my father, I believe he should be a smart person." Xu Yun said, "I think a smart person will not do stupid things, right? If he chooses to trust you, it is also what he thinks is right. "
"No … no … it was a mistake for him to trust me … because I am not a trustworthy person at all." Jiuqian Xiu shook his head. He blamed himself, struggled, and had all kinds of emotions, but he was more annoyed.
"Let bygones be bygones." Xu Yun was very calm, "Even if there is something, it has been so many years. There is no need to pursue it."
"You are really your father's son. You are as generous as him." Jiuqian Xiu sighed, "When I did something wrong to him for the first time, he said the same thing … If he didn't stand up and speak up, I wouldn't have had the chance to betray him again … I was … I was a villain who would do anything for money …"
How could Xu Yun not be curious, but he didn't know how to ask.
And he was still entangled. Why should he know those things? If he knew, would he have other opinions about Jiuqian Xiu?
Or … hate him?
These were all things that Xu Yun could not guarantee. No matter what, his father was his father. Even if his father did not do anything to him and did not give anything, he was still his father after all. This was something that Xu Yun could never deny.
"At that time, many people said that they wanted to get rid of me …" Jiuqian Xiu glanced at Lin Ge after he finished speaking, "Your master's knife was already on my neck. Hehe … Lu Xuanji was so impulsive back then. The child he taught is really like him."
Lin Ge drove calmly on the surface, but his curiosity was bursting. Old Man Lu actually had something to do with this?
The relationship between them was really deep.
