"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I feel that your grandfather's health is getting worse and worse. He's about to run out of energy. Add to that the fact that the Dongfang family is currently facing enemies from all sides. Not only do they have to face enemies from the outside, but … they also have to guard against internal strife. He's gradually losing his strength. If he doesn't break through soon, he'll probably only last one or two years."
Dongfang Shaoze laughed bitterly. In order to prevent the Weapon Refining Sect from dealing with Gu Ruoyun, he had gone to great lengths to convince his father to do this. But in the end, the Dongfang family had suffered heavy losses.
Three years. For three whole years, the Dongfang family had been fighting with the Weapon Refining Sect. If anything happened to his father, the Dongfang family would soon be destroyed. But he didn't tell Gu Ruoyun about this. No matter what, he wasn't willing to use this debt to tie her down …
Gu Ruoyun fell silent. After a long while, she raised her head to look at the man's gentle face and said: "I don't like the Dongfang family because of their attitude towards Mother's death. But I recognize you as my uncle. You're a member of the Dongfang family, so … I won't let anything happen to the Dongfang family!"
In other words, she was willing to help the Dongfang family not because of their so-called blood ties, but because of him, Dongfang Shaoze.
Dongfang Shaoze's heart warmed, but more than that, he felt an unshakable guilt. He didn't know how much hardship this girl had to go through to make her temperament so calm. If he had come out of closed-door cultivation earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have to suffer so much in Azure Dragon Country …
After so many years, no one from the Dongfang family had helped her, so it was understandable that she had no feelings for the Dongfang family. If it weren't for her good luck, who knew how many times she would have died at the hands of the Gu family.
"Uncle, based on my current abilities, I'm unable to help Master Dongfang break through. So, let's talk about helping him break through in the future. I have a Longevity Pill with me. Give it to him first. This Longevity Pill can increase his lifespan by ten years. Now, I need to go somewhere else. Once I'm done with that matter, I'll come to the Dongfang Family to find you."
Gu Ruoyun could more or less guess the situation that the head of the Dongfang family was facing now. Elder Yu had told her before that the reason why the Weapon Refining Sect hadn't come looking for trouble with him was because of the Dongfang family. She didn't even need to think to know that Dongfang Shaoze was doing this for her …
Even though he had not used this matter to force her to help the Dongfang family, Gu Ruoyun was not someone who did not know how to be grateful. So, even if she did not have a good impression of the Dongfang family, she would still do her best to help them...
However, after hearing her words, Dongfang Shaoze was stunned.
Honestly speaking, he had come here to request for a Longevity Pill. As long as he had this pill, his father would have another ten years of time. With these ten years, perhaps he would be able to break through. Even if the worst case scenario was that his father was unable to break through, he would still be able to buy the Dongfang family another ten years.
But Yun 'er had just mentioned that she had no way of helping Master Dongfang break through right now? Maybe in the future?
Dongfang Shaoze shook his head at the thought of this and smiled gently, "Yun 'er, I'll wait for you at the Dongfang family home. May I ask where you'll be going after this?"
Gu Ruoyun lowered her eyelids as her lips curled into a smile.
That smile was filled with gentleness, anticipation, and a hint of urgency …
