Even if one's heart was made of stone, it would still melt. Even these old men who had always carried the rules of the Ancient people were moved, let alone Gu Xuantian. Once upon a time, he, Gu Xuantian, was also a great man, an iron-blooded youth. He had once wielded his sword to conquer the world, and he had also once been as gentle as water.
Gu Xuantian took a deep breath, he tried his best to calm his emotions. He stood up from his seat and said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, you have helped this King open the knot in his heart today. This King owes you another favor."
Regarding Jiang Chen's impudent attitude, Gu Xuantian didn't pursue it. For so many years, he had been in a high position, and no one had ever dared to say anything excessive in front of him. Even more so, no one had helped him open the knot in his heart. Only Jiang Chen dared to do so.
Huala!
Gu Xuantian lightly waved his hand, and the space in the hall was directly torn open. An ice-cold spatial energy overflowed from the crack. Gu Xuantian looked at Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu who were squatting on the ground and said, "Ning 'er, let's go. Uncle will bring you to see your mother."
That's right, the current Gu Xuantian was no longer a patriarch, but an uncle, an elder. The knot in his heart had been opened for twelve years. Even he himself couldn't wait to see Goulan.
Hearing Gu Xuantian's words, Wu Ningzhu cried even harder. This day had finally come. The tears that she had been holding back for twelve years seemed to flow out at this moment. No one present spoke. Gu Xuantian just stood there and waited. No one went to disturb Wu Ningzhu. Wu Ningzhu's tears made their hearts ache. Just like what Jiang Chen had said, this child had endured a lot of bitterness for twelve years.
Wu Ningzhu buried her head in Jiang Chen's arms and cried for five minutes before stopping. She calmed her mood and slowly stood up. She gave a deep bow to Gu Xuantian. She did not speak. This bow was to thank Gu Xuantian. However, Wu Ningzhu's feelings towards Gu Xuantian were still very complicated. She hated this uncle for twelve years. Today, she also saw the side of Gu Xuantian's temperament. At this moment, that kind of hatred suddenly reduced a lot. She didn't want to live in resentment. She just wanted to see her mother as soon as possible.
"Let's go."
Gu Xuantian's body flickered and disappeared into the spatial gap. Subsequently, Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu also walked in. The other Great Sages in the hall did not go in. It was meaningless for them to step in for such a matter. This was the grudge of their family. Let them solve it themselves. Some knots in their hearts had to be undone.
"Gu Mu, you have done well this time. I will reward you later."
A Great Sage said to Gu Mu.
"Thank you, Elder."
Gu Mu gave a deep bow to these elders. He was almost scared to death just now. However, at this moment, in addition to admiration for Jiang Chen, he also had a little more respect for him. This was a real man. Those words could only be said by someone who was extremely sentimental.
"Elder, what should we do with these treasures?"
Gu Mu looked at the treasures left behind by Jiang Chen and asked. 1.5 billion Best Grade True Meta Stones, three Nine Suns Les Rond Pill, ten bottles of Nine Suns Holy Water. This was an unimaginable amount of wealth. At this moment, these treasures were floating in the air.
"Gu Mu, keep these treasures first. We will wait for the Patriarch and the others to come out. If the Patriarch agrees to Jiang Chen's marriage proposal, then we can keep these treasures."
A highly respected elder said. Jiang Chen had already made it clear when he came. These treasures were the betrothal gifts to be used to marry Wu Ningzhu. If Gu Xuantian could not agree to this marriage, how could the Ancient people keep these treasures?
"Yes."
Gu Mu did not dare to be negligent. He carefully kept these treasures. In his heart, he was also praying that this matter would come to a successful conclusion. Now that the matter with Goulan had been resolved, there was still the matter between Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu. Gu Mu did not want to make any mistakes. He understood Jiang Chen's temper too well. If Gu Xuantian insisted on marrying Wu Ningzhu to Gu Liufeng, it was hard to imagine what Jiang Chen would do.
In fact, Gu Mu had always felt guilty towards Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu. When they were in Dan Yuan City, Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu had already started to bow to the heavens and earth. He had forcefully barged in and interrupted Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu's wedding. He had also forcefully brought Wu Ningzhu back to the Ancient people. Therefore, he was the one who wanted Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu to be together the most.
An ice-cold prison. This prison had its own space. However, it did not seem cold at all. There were flowers, grasses and birds. It was like a paradise. In front of the prison was a purple bamboo forest. Behind the purple bamboo forest was a thatched hut. If one really wanted to say that this was a prison, it could only be described as being isolated from the world.
That's right, the environment here was beautiful but it was isolated from the world. It was filled with sadness and desolation. Looking at the illusion here, the last trace of hatred that Wu Ningzhu had for Gu Xuantian disappeared. Jiang Chen also nodded his head. He was right. Gu Xuantian could be considered as a sentimental person. Although he had imprisoned Goulan, he did not allow Goulan to come into contact with the outside world. He had created a very good environment for Goulan.
Suddenly, the sound of a zither sounded from the other end of the purple bamboo forest. This zither sound was incomparably beautiful but it was filled with a sense of desolation. The melody was filled with a sense of longing, causing people to uncontrollably fall into the world of the zither and be unable to extricate themselves.
"Mother."
Wu Ningzhu subconsciously shouted. Her voice was trembling. This zither sound was too familiar.
"What a beautiful zither sound."
Jiang Chen could not help but sigh. He finally knew why Wu Ningzhu could play the zither so well. Now, he finally found the reason.
Gu Xuantian brought Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu to the purple bamboo forest. Soon, they reached the end of the forest. A woman suddenly appeared in front of them. She was dressed in white. Her face was a little thin, but it couldn't hide her peerless beauty. Her expression was a little sad. One look and anyone could tell that she was a person with a story. Her eyes were fixed on the zither. Her jade-like hands were dancing on the zither like butterflies. It was a very beautiful scene. All the woman's thoughts seemed to be immersed in the sound of the zither. She didn't even notice that someone was coming.
Jiang Chen had seen through Goulan's cultivation. This woman turned out to be a rare Great Saint. Although she was only a First Grade Great Saint, it was enough to show that she was very talented. A powerful First Grade Great Saint would have sharp senses, but Goulan didn't notice the three of them. It showed that Goulan's heart had been completely immersed in the sound of the zither. It was as if the sound of the zither could bring her back to Dancing Sun City, back to her family, back to her carefree and happy life.
The moment she saw Goulan, Wu Ningzhu couldn't hold back her tears again. That's right, this was her mother. Although twelve years had passed, the face of Goulan had always been so clear in Wu Ningzhu's heart. Her mother didn't age at all. She was just a little thinner. Wu Ningzhu always felt that her mother was the most beautiful woman in the world, whether it was in the past or now. That kind of beauty was unique.
Mother is the word 'great'. In every child's heart, their mother is the most beautiful and unique.
"Mother!"
Wu Ningzhu shouted in a very loud voice.
* Bang! *
Goulan's body shook violently. One of the zither's strings broke in her hand. She slowly raised her head. When she saw Wu Ningzhu, her pupils began to dilate and her body began to tremble. At this moment, her whole world seemed to have undergone a great change.
"Ning … Ning Er."
Goulan's voice trembled even more. She felt that she was dreaming, but this dream was so real. Although they hadn't seen each other for twelve years, Wu Ningzhu had undergone a great change. She had grown from a little girl to a slim and elegant peerless beauty, Goulan could still recognize her daughter at first glance.
"Ning Er, is that really you?"
Without anyone seeing how Goulan moved, her body had already arrived in front of Wu Ningzhu.
"Mother, it's me. I'm your Ning Er."
Wu Ningzhu was unable to control her emotions. She directly threw herself into Goulan's embrace and burst into tears.
Goulan raised her trembling hands and placed them on Wu Ningzhu's back. She still didn't dare to believe that this was real. "This is a dream. It must be an illusion."
Seeing this scene, Gu Xuantian and Jiang Chen looked at each other and tacitly walked to the side. They didn't want to disturb this scene. They knew that this scene would definitely last for a long time. One or two hours might not be enough.
"Jiang Chen, thank you for today. You've untied the knot in my heart for many years."
Gu Xuantian said with a smile. To be able to say the word 'thank you' from Gu Xuantian's mouth was an extremely rare and difficult thing to do. At this moment, he put down his high and mighty posture and chatted with Jiang Chen like a friend.
"The one who untied the knot in your heart was you, not me. If you were really a heartless person, there wouldn't be today's Goulan and Wu Ningzhu."
Jiang Chen also smiled. He seemed to have seen through Gu Xuantian.
"Do you know that you might be killed by me with a palm strike for being so disrespectful to me today?"
Gu Xuantian looked at Jiang Chen.
"I, Jiang Chen, never do things that I'm not sure of. If you, Gu Xuantian, are heartless, you wouldn't be able to sit in this position. If that's the case, I won't use this method to deal with the Ancient people. I will wait until I'm strong enough to fight my way to the Ancient people and forcefully take away Wu Ningzhu and Goulan. I will make all of you Ancient people disappear from this world."
Jiang Chen didn't hide his words at all.
Gu Xuantian gasped. In Saint Origin World, Jiang Chen was the first person who could make the Ancient people sink. However, Gu Xuantian had a feeling that as long as Jiang Chen said it, he would be able to do it. He was a very scary young man.
