"Jiang Chen, do you think that I will agree to marry Ning 'er to you?"
Gu Xuantian asked.
"Yes."
Jiang Chen's reply was firm and confident.
"Aren't you being too confident? Although you have helped me unravel the knot in my heart and fought for Goulan's freedom, this is completely different from your marriage proposal. As the Patriarch of the Ancient people, my words carry enormous weight. I have already agreed to betroth Ning 'er to Liufeng three days later. If I were to betroth Ning' er to you now, where would I put my face as the Patriarch?"
"Gu Xuantian, do you know what I admire about you? The betrothal gifts that I have brought are enough to make anyone lose their cool. But you, under such a heavy betrothal gift, still cared about your Patriarch's face and insisted on marrying Sister Ning to Gu Liufeng. This is something that I admire very much. You, Gu Xuantian, are a person who values friendship, so the person that you, Gu Xuantian, would definitely not be a bad person. If Gu Liufeng wants to marry Wu Ningzhu, he will definitely make Wu Ningzhu be willing. If he is forced, with his pride, I'm afraid that he will not accept this marriage. Moreover, this is a matter between me and Gu Liufeng. In this world where only the strong are respected, the simplest and most direct way to solve a problem is to fight. Every genius is a warrior. I will personally defeat Gu Liufeng and snatch Sister Ning over. I will make Gu Liufeng withdraw himself and not damage your Patriarch's prestige. "
Jiang Chen said.
Gu Xuantian looked at the expression in Jiang Chen's eyes. He was getting more and more shocked. This young man was too terrifying. His vision was far-sighted and everything was under his control. He could even see through a person with a glance. This was a person who would never give up. He dared to come to the Ancient people alone and even brought such a heavy betrothal gift. This was enough to show the importance of Wu Ningzhu in Jiang Chen's heart.
Jiang Chen had never seen Gu Liufeng before. He was able to judge Gu Liufeng based on his own vision. What surprised Gu Xuantian was that Jiang Chen's judgment was right. Gu Liufeng was indeed a rare genius among the younger generation of the Ancient people. He was an outstanding existence in all aspects. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been valued by Gu Xuantian. "Moreover, the Ancient people aren't fools.
"Plus, Patriarch Gu isn't a fool. Your foresight is sharper than anyone else. Nowadays, the situation of the eight major families in Saint Origin World has become more and more obvious. The strength of Desolate Family is growing day by day, and it's already strong enough to suppress any one of the seven major families. If this situation continues for a long time, you should be very clear about the consequences. You won't believe it if I say that Desolate Family doesn't have any ambition. Gu Family should be aware of the crisis in advance. Saint Origin World has been peaceful for such a long time, but it will eventually usher in chaos. You know very well that only I, Jiang Chen, can completely turn the situation of Saint Origin World upside down.
You, the Ancient people, are the only ones who will be able to turn the situation upside down in the future. You know very well that only I, Jiang Chen, can turn the situation of Saint Origin World upside down in the future.
"Ai!"
Gu Xuantian sighed. He had to admit that Jiang Chen was too smart. He was so smart that he could see through everything. He even spoke out his own thoughts and the thoughts of those Great Sages in the inner palace. The Saint Origin World had been peaceful for so long. It was only a matter of time before chaos would descend upon the Saint Origin World. The emergence of Jiang Chen was like a dazzling star that was destined to stir up this muddy water.
There was indeed no harm in befriending Jiang Chen for the Ancient people. Jiang Chen's current cultivation was still weak. He just needed the protection of the Ancient people. Similarly, befriending Jiang Chen would not make the Ancient people feel lonely because the Demon Race had already stepped forward bravely. The eight major families had always been at odds with each other. Now, in the face of the impending chaos, it would undoubtedly be a good thing if the Demon Race and the Ancient people could work together.
Moreover, the arrival of Jiang Chen had already brought benefits to the Ancient people. He also helped Gu Xuantian untie the knot in his heart, avenged his son, and gave Goulan freedom. Not to mention the Ancient people, just for Gu Xuantian, Jiang Chen was a kindness. Similarly, if Jiang Chen married Wu Ningzhu in the future, he would be half an Ancient people. The Ancient people had no reason not to help Jiang Chen.
Gu Xuantian only guessed that Jiang Chen might be a very important figure in the future chaos, but he never thought that the decision he made today was so wise. In the future, when Jiang Chen returned to the peak and stood at the top of the world again, trampling on everything, the Ancient people would gain immeasurable benefits. Of course, this was a story for the future.
On the other side, Wu Ningzhu and Goulan had calmed down. Goulan finally confirmed that this was not a dream, but something that really happened. She had waited for 12 years, and finally, this day had come.
The mother and daughter sat on the grass, leaning against each other. Goulan quietly listened to Wu Ningzhu telling her about the details of the past 12 years, about herself, about Wu Tianyang, about Jiang Chen, about what happened to the Ancient people during this time, and about what Jiang Chen had done for the Ancient people.
This chat lasted for three hours, and during these three hours, Jiang Chen and Gu Xuantian also had a very pleasant chat. These two people sometimes laughed happily, and sometimes seriously discussed something. In these three hours, Gu Xuantian and Gu Xuantian really became friends. In front of Jiang Chen, Gu Xuantian could laugh unscrupulously, completely disregarding his image. He was no longer the high and mighty patriarch, but more like a big brother chatting with a little brother.
Gu Xuantian admired Jiang Chen very much. They talked about a lot of problems related to cultivation. Jiang Chen was almost omniscient, alchemy, refining, and array formations. There was nothing that he did not know. All the bottlenecks and difficulties that Gu Xuantian encountered were casually mentioned by Jiang Chen, which allowed him to gain something.
The image of Jiang Chen gradually became taller in the eyes of Gu Xuantian. In his view, the existence of Jiang Chen was a miracle, a very big miracle, a peerless monster.
"Kid, you are really amazing. You have so much knowledge at such a young age. It seems like it's not a coincidence that you have such achievements today."
Gu Xuantian didn't hesitate to praise Jiang Chen. All these years, he had been cultivating Gu Liufeng. Gu Liufeng wasn't weak, but compared to Jiang Chen, he was simply trash. Not to mention Gu Liufeng, even the monstrous genius of Desolate Family wasn't on the same level as Jiang Chen. Even those geniuses who had entered Saint Origin Palace had a huge gap when compared to Jiang Chen.
"What are you two men talking about? You seem to be chatting happily. "
At this time, a voice sounded from behind. Jiang Chen and Gu Xuantian turned their heads at the same time and saw Goulan and her daughter walking towards them hand in hand. At this moment, Goulan revealed a smile that had disappeared for twelve years. She seemed to have returned to her teenage years.
"Auntie."
Jiang Chen held his fists at Goulan. He admired this strong woman from the bottom of his heart.
"Jiang Chen, I really want to thank you this time. Also, thank you for taking care of Ning Er for such a long time."
Goulan bowed deeply at Jiang Chen. Her gratitude came from the bottom of her heart. In the past three hours, the person Wu Ningzhu talked about the most wasn't Wu Tianyang or herself, but Jiang Chen. She told her almost all the heroic deeds of Jiang Chen, which made Goulan couldn't help but sigh that there was actually such a genius in this world.
Of course, there were many geniuses in this world, but it was rare to see someone like Jiang Chen who valued friendship and righteousness.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? This is what I should do. This is my promise to Sister Ning."
Jiang Chen took a step forward and quickly helped Goulan up.
"Xiao Lan."
Gu Xuantian called out Goulan's name.
Goulan raised her head and looked at Gu Xuantian. It had been twelve years. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any hatred for this big brother of hers. However, what Gu Xuantian did today finally made her feel relieved.
"Big Brother, it has been twelve years. You have been forcing me to admit my mistakes. However, Xiao Lan wasn't wrong. Today, I will ask you solemnly, have I ever done anything wrong?"
Goulan looked at Gu Xuantian without blinking. She looked at her big brother who had doted on her since she was young.
"Xiao Lan, Big Brother was wrong."
Gu Xuantian sighed.
Goulan also let out a long sigh. It had been twelve years, and the knot in her heart had finally been undone. She knew that it wasn't easy to make Gu Xuantian admit that he was wrong. However, Gu Xuantian had admitted his mistake today.
Goulan looked at Jiang Chen. She really admired this young man. She couldn't imagine what kind of method Jiang Chen used to make Gu Xuantian admit his mistake.
"You and your sister used twelve years of stubbornness just because of a mistake. Today, you can finally let it go."
Jiang Chen said with a smile. He had always kept the matters of the Ancient people in his heart. He didn't know how to solve Goulan's matter. Today, it was finally resolved.
"Xiao Lan, after you go out, I will destroy this prison."
Gu Xuantian said.
"No need. The environment here is very good. It will be my place of cultivation in the future. I will call it Condensing Mist Realm."
Goulan said.
"Condensing Mist Realm. Good. Since Xiao Lan likes it, this will be your place of cultivation in the future. You can go in and out of here at will."
Gu Xuantian nodded.
"Patriarch, in my opinion, why don't you do another good deed? Bring Wu Tianyang to the Ancient people and let the family reunite."
Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, Goulan and Wu Ningzhu immediately revealed nervous expressions. They looked at Gu Xuantian nervously. A family reunion was their dream for twelve years. If Wu Tianyang could come to the Ancient people, it would be perfect.
However, all of this required Gu Xuantian's approval. Gu Xuantian was the patriarch of the clan. If he didn't agree, Wu Tianyang could forget about stepping into the gate of the Ancient people.
Gu Xuantian frowned slightly. In his heart, Wu Tianyang was just an outsider, an insignificant figure in the Southern Continent. How could he be compared to the Ancient people?
"Alright, I will send Gu Mu to the Southern Continent to bring Wu Tianyang back and let your family reunite."
Gu Xuantian nodded in agreement. After all, he felt that he owed Goulan too much. Letting Wu Tianyang come was also a form of compensation. Similarly, this was suggested by Jiang Chen, so he treated it as returning a favor to Jiang Chen.
"Thank you, Big Brother."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Goulan and Wu Ningzhu were instantly overjoyed. A family reunion. Their dream of twelve years was finally going to come true. How could they not be excited? It was hard to imagine that when Wu Tianyang heard the news, he would probably cry for the whole night.
