"As for the wine, I'm not going to invite you to drink. Even if you want to drink, I don't have that much wine."
Gu Qingfeng changed his posture. When he put down the wine cup, Féquy, who was next to him, immediately picked up the wine pot and filled the cup.
"In that case, let's have a chat. Let's talk about what happened in the past and reminisce about the old days."
Hearing that Gu Qingfeng just wanted to reminisce about the old days and did not intend to kill all these people, Zhenyang Jiuxian and Su'Er, who knew him well, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, speaking of which, there doesn't seem to be much to reminisce about between us."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and smiled helplessly. Then he sighed and said, "Today, everyone is here for the purpose of what happened in the past, right?"
The leaders of the major sects and families looked at each other. Although they were all here for the same reason, no one took the initiative to say it at this moment.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes."
Gu Qingfeng's tone was very light, and no one could tell whether he was happy or sad. It was as if he was chatting with a friend. He said, "As for what happened in the past, how should I put it? In a word, it was all my fault."
No one would have thought that the cold, ruthless, arrogant and domineering King Chixiao of the ancient times would take the initiative to admit his mistake in front of the world.
King Chixiao, in many people's impression, was a synonym for ferocity and bloodthirstiness, and was also the incarnation of the Devil God. At this moment, seeing the Devil God take the initiative to admit his mistake, it was really unbelievable for everyone present.
"Back then, I was young and impetuous, and I was competitive. I sought revenge for the smallest grievance, and I never considered the consequences of my actions. For this reason, I hurt many people, many families, and many innocent people died tragically at my hands. Here, I apologize to all of you and the world."
As he spoke, an even more shocking scene appeared. Gu Qingfeng stood up and bowed to the world.
This bow was not a big deal, but it shocked everyone present. Every one of them was shocked and aghast.
Zhenyang Jiuxian, who knew Gu Qingfeng well, opened his eyes wide and grinned, as if he had seen a miracle. To be exact, he was more shocked and aghast than seeing a miracle.
He was so.
Su 'Er was shocked beyond words. Yesterday, when Gu Qingfeng said that he would apologize, she did not take it seriously at all. She knew Gu Qingfeng, and had even investigated him. Although she had never been in contact with Gu Qingfeng before, her understanding of Gu Qingfeng far exceeded that of the Zhenyang Wine Immortal.
She knew very well that Gu Qingfeng had been alone since he was a child. Along the way, he had been through countless hardships and had been on the brink of death several times. Therefore, he was cold and proud. He had never bowed his head to anyone or anything. Even when faced with the trials of the Immortal Dao, he never bowed his head and admitted his mistakes. Even when his most respected master, Zhen Jue, knelt down and bowed to the world for him and then committed suicide to atone for his sins, he never admitted his mistakes to Zhen Jue, not even a single word.
What Su'Er remembered most vividly was that Gu Qingfeng had said more than once that he would correct his mistakes, but he would never admit his mistakes.
And today.
He actually took the initiative to admit his mistakes. Not only did he take the initiative to admit his mistakes, he even bowed and apologized.
Others may not know, but only Su'Er understood. With Gu Qingfeng's strength, he did not need to bow and apologize to these people. It was no exaggeration to say that even if Gu Qingfeng killed everyone here today, no one could do anything to him. Sengoku could not, the Shangqing Sect could not, Yunduan could not, the Immortal Dao and even the 3,000 Great Paths could not stop him.
Even so.
He still took the initiative to bow and apologize.
This made Su'Er suspicious. Could it be that Gu Qingfeng had really changed?
Suddenly.
Su 'Er thought of something that Gu Qingfeng had said these days. He said that he was tired and didn't want to go through any more trouble. He also said that after experiencing so much, people would change, and their thoughts would gradually mature. He also realised that he had committed too many sins in the past, and if possible, he wanted to atone for all of his sins.
When she heard this, Su'Er felt that it was very funny.
It was as funny as hearing a demon king of hell who killed without batting an eyelid say that he was an honest person.
Now, she finally realized that the one who was funny was not Gu Qingfeng, but herself.
This guy might have really changed …
"Of course, it doesn't matter if I apologize or bow and kneel, it can't make up for the mistakes I committed in the past. So, today, I don't expect to be able to get your forgiveness. I just realized that I did a lot of wrong things in the past, and I want to apologize to everyone. That's all. What you think is your business. I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Gu Qingfeng turned around and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Not far away, Zhenyang Wine Immortal was also drinking wine, sighing, "Little Guy Gu is still the Little Guy Gu of the past. Although his mind has been enlightened a lot, his thoughts have matured, and his temperament seems to have been smoothed out, but the innate arrogance in his bones has not decreased in the slightest. I have lived for so many years and have seen people apologize countless times. But it is the first time that I have seen someone apologize like this kid. He only apologized because he realized his mistakes, that's all? Whether the other party forgives him or not, he doesn't care at all? Only this kid can apologize in such a domineering way. I have no choice but to be impressed. "
Gu Qingfeng looked at the sun hanging in the sky, stretched his body, and sat back on the master chair again. He crossed his legs, looked at the crowd, and continued, "The words of apology end here. I don't want to say anything more. If I say too much, it will seem pretentious. Today, let's completely end the grievances of the past."
Upon hearing that Gu Qingfeng wanted to end the grievances of the past, the elders of the major sects and families immediately became cautious and nervous. They all wanted to know how Gu Qingfeng planned to end the grievances of the past.
"As for how to end the grievances of the past, according to the old rules, a life for a life, a debt must be paid with money. This has been the truth since ancient times, but …" Gu Qingfeng changed the topic, saying, "However, I won't pay with my life. The reason is very simple. I still have some things to do, and I don't want to die for the time being."
"Originally, all the grievances would be over if I killed you, but I don't want to kill anymore. I've killed too many people in my life. I'm numb and disgusted by the killing. I'm too lazy to kill anymore …"
Everyone knew that King Chixiao in the antiquity times had always been arrogant, unscrupulous, and unruly.
But they didn't expect that King Chixiao in the modern era was even more arrogant and unruly than in the antiquity times.
No.
This was no longer just arrogance.
It was a kind of contempt.
It was a blatant disdain.
His tone was not arrogant at all, but it was like a god, with a feeling of contempt for all living things.
It was as if the people present were not the elders of the major sects, but a group of ants, not worth mentioning in his eyes.
