After listening to Guiwu Kuang Sha's narration, Nie Tian was stunned for a few seconds before he finally reacted. He bitterly smiled and said, "So my father ran away from the wedding back then. How unexpected."
"Yeah." Guiwu Kuang Sha shook his head and said with a smile, "Back then, on the wedding day, all the influential figures of the nine domains were present, but your father ran away during the wedding ceremony, leaving Third Lady Gongsun alone."
"This matter has indeed disgraced the Gongsun family and even affected the reputation of the Divine Martial Sword Pagoda. It's no wonder that old man Gongsun Sheng hates your Nie family so much."
The corner of Nie Tian's mouth twitched helplessly. He didn't know why his father ran away from the wedding back then, but he believed that his father wasn't an irresponsible person.
"Lord Guiwu, according to what you said, my father publicly ran away from the wedding, so shouldn't Third Lady Gongsun be the one who hates the Nie family the most?" Nie Tian suddenly recalled the way Third Lady Gongsun looked at him in the hall and couldn't help but feel strange. "I feel that Third Lady Gongsun must have recognized my identity in the hall. But not only did she not want to kill me, but she also tried her best to save me and even knelt down to beg the Divine Sword Master for me. Why? "
Third Lady Gongsun's existence played a key role in the success of the Evil Edge Sword Competition.
If it wasn't for Third Lady Gongsun's timely appearance in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Nie Tian wouldn't have been able to keep his life.
It was reasonable to say that Third Lady Gongsun should be the one who hated Nie Fenghua the most when he ran away from the wedding. So why did she still try her best to help Nie Tian?
"It's indeed strange." Guiwu Kuang Sha slightly furrowed his brows and said, "Actually, I've heard a lot about the matter between your father and Third Lady Gongsun. I heard that your father treated Third Lady Gongsun very well and the two of them have always had a good relationship. There shouldn't be any reason for him to run away from the wedding. "
"Could it be that there's something else that happened back then?" Nie Tian was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "No matter what, Third Lady Gongsun saved me. I should go thank her."
"You should thank her." Guiwu Kuang Sha nodded his head and said, "She should already know your identity. You must tell her to not spread it."
"I know." Nie Tian nodded and prepared to look for Third Lady Gongsun.
However, just as he turned around and looked outside the small courtyard, he saw a graceful figure appear in the distance. It was none other than Third Lady Gongsun.
"Lady Gongsun." Nie Tian bowed slightly when he saw Third Lady Gongsun suddenly appear and called out respectfully.
Third Lady Gongsun slowly walked over. Giving a faint and elegant smile to Nie Tian, she then turned to look at Gui Wu Kuang Sha and said, "Lord Gui Wu, I have something to say to Nie Tian, I'll have to trouble you to leave for a while."
"Okay." Gui Wu Kuang Sha nodded his head indifferently, before turning around and leaving.
Nie Tian couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at Third Lady Gongsun's expression, it seemed that she had something to say to him.
"You're called Nie Tian, and your father is Nie Fenghua, right?" Only after Gui Wu Kuang Sha had left did Third Lady Gongsun slowly open her mouth, her gaze sizing up Nie Tian's body.
"Yes." Nie Tian didn't deny it. Nodding his head indifferently, he said, "Lady Gongsun, if you have something to say, please say it."
"Nie Tian, I grew up with your father. I see him as an elder brother, and he sees me as a younger sister. If you don't mind, you can call me aunt." Third Lady Gongsun slowly opened her mouth and said while looking at Nie Tian.
"Thank you for your help today, aunt." Nie Tian thought for a while. Not wanting to refuse, he nodded his head in thanks.
Third Lady Gongsun elegantly smiled. She seemed to have thought of many things and said, "Nie Tian, do you know? Your eyes are really similar to your father's. "
Nie Tian slightly nodded his head. He knew that Third Lady Gongsun definitely had something to say to him, but he couldn't rush her directly. He could only worry in his heart.
"Nie Tian, you already know about the matter between me and your father, right?" Third Lady Gongsun paused for a while before finally getting to the point.
"Lord Gui Wu told me a little." Nie Tian lightly nodded his head, waiting for Third Lady Gongsun to continue.
"Your eyes are really similar to his." Third Lady Gongsun calmly looked at Nie Tian and repeated what she had just said. "Actually, the matter between me and your father isn't as simple as it seems."
"There really is more to it than meets the eye!" Nie Tian's gaze trembled as he exclaimed in his heart.
He was very curious about what had happened between his father and Third Lady Gongsun.
"Nie Tian, the reason why I helped you today is because I owe your father. I want to repay him through you." Looking at Nie Tian, Third Lady Gongsun's face became visibly gloomy. She recalled many things. Memories of the past suddenly surged like a spring.
Seeing Third Lady Gongsun's reaction, Nie Tian didn't know what to do. He could only stand there in a daze.
After a long time, Third Lady Gongsun calmed down a lot and began to speak. "When I grew up with your father, we could be said to be childhood sweethearts. We knew from a young age that we were engaged to each other and were destined to be together. But at that time, we were too young and couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman and a brother and sister.
"I thought I loved your father and depended on him. I thought I would never leave him for the rest of my life. But one day, I met another man, and everything changed. "
"I slowly came to understand that I didn't love your father at all. It was just a little sister's dependence on her brother. But by the time I understood this, our engagement was already approaching. "
"At that time, I didn't have the courage to tell your father. It wasn't until the day of the wedding that I panicked and secretly told your father everything.
"At that time, your father's reaction was very calm. He didn't get angry or angry. He only said one thing to me."
At this point, Third Lady Gongsun couldn't help but pause. Her expression became even more solemn.
"What did he say?" Nie Tian couldn't help but ask curiously. He really wanted to know what his father had said.
The girl who grew up with him said such things to him on the wedding day. Any man would've gone crazy if they were in his shoes.
Nie Fenghua was still able to keep his cool back then. His willpower was truly unparalleled.
Third Lady Gongsun took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Your father told me that you must be happy, Third Lady. After saying that, he smiled at me. I'll never forget that smile. It was so calm, yet so sincere. After that, your father left under the watchful eyes of countless people. "
At this point, Third Lady Gongsun let out a long breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. "This is the matter between me and your father. He ran away from the wedding because of me. He carried the reputation of being unjust just so that I could be happy in the future. "
