And from beginning to end, Gu Ying had followed silently at the side, silently looking at Gu Xin Yan who was highly doted upon by Gu Yi, the smile upon his face never fading away.
Gu Xin Yan's return had lifted Gu Yi's mood greatly. On that day, in order to welcome the youths who had returned, and also to celebrate Gu Xin Yan's return, the Blood Fiend Palace had held a grand banquet, inviting everyone to gather under the same hall.
Gu Xin Yan was seated right beside Gu Yi, a faint smile upon her face. But just looking at that smile, made people feel that it was a little forced, a little stiff.
"Little Yan, is there something on your mind? Why is it that after coming back this time, I keep getting the feeling that you are a little downcast? " Gu Yi asked as he looked at Gu Xin Yan, his eyes filled with worry. This daughter of his, had been pampered within his hands since young, not daring to let her suffer the slightest grievance. Now that he saw Gu Xin Yan looking a little distracted, he could not help but feel a little worried.
Gu Xin Yan was slightly taken aback and she immediately shook her head.
"No, I'm just a little tired that's all." Gu Xin Yan said with a faint smile as she brushed over the matter, not knowing just how conflicted her heart had been all along the way.
Every time she dreamt of it in the middle of the night, a figure would always appear in her dreams, seemingly at arm's length, but every time she stretched out her hand, that person would get further and further away from her, no matter what ….. she just could not touch him.
"It's been hard on you. It's good that you're back." Gu Yi said lovingly.
Gu Xin Yan smiled and did not say anything more. When Gu Xin Yan turned her gaze back, her eyes suddenly saw Gu Ying sitting in a corner, staring at her with a smile.
That smile made Gu Xin Yan's entire body tremble.
She and Gu Ying were brothers born from the same father but different mothers. Gu Ying's mother had married Gu Yi a long time ago and when Gu Xin Yan was still very young, she had seen Gu Ying's mother. She had been an extremely beautiful woman and Gu Xin Yan could still remember that day when she had stumbled and stumbled into that quiet and secluded little courtyard, to see that lady sitting under the peach blossom tree, quietly playing the zither.
That was the most beautiful person Gu Xin Yan had ever seen in her life.
Gu Ying's mother.
The Spirit Void Temple's Little Palace Lord.
And the most beautiful person in the Nine Temples and Twelve Palaces.
It was once rumoured that the Young Palace Lord of the Spirit Void Temple was the most beautiful person in the Middle Realm. Countless young and talented men would rack their brains to win a smile from her and Gu Yi had been one of her pursuers. It was not known why the Young Palace Lord of the Spirit Void Temple had chosen to marry Gu Yi. It had been thought that it would be a match made in heaven and it would be a beautiful story to be told but everything after that had completely changed.
Within the Blood Fiend Palace, no one dared to mention that person. When Gu Xin Yan was young, she had only seen that person once when she had accidentally stumbled upon the place.
But for some unknown reason, after Gu Yi had married the Young Palace Mistress of the Spirit Void Temple, his appearance had changed. He no longer had the affectionate and doting attitude he had when he was courting her. Instead, he had become cold and distant.
Even Gu Ying's birth had not been able to reverse all of that. On the day that Gu Ying was born, Gu Yi had coincidentally married Gu Xin Yan's mother in the Blood Fiend Palace. At that moment, the Blood Fiend Palace had been filled with jubilation, but no one remembered the Little Palace Lord who was in pain giving birth.
Gu Xin Yan could no longer remember when the Little Palace Lord had passed away. She only knew that her death had been silent and silent and it was only a few years after her death that Gu Xin Yan came to know of the news.
It wasn't that Gu Xin Yan did not know the difference between Gu Ying and her.
They were both his children but the harsh way he treated Gu Ying sometimes made Gu Xin Yan feel a little flustered just looking at him.
