"good!"

Gu Jian nodded; that was his plan too.

Besides them, there were also Granny Gu and her group.

...

Next, Gu Jian led Bai Yu back into the secret realm.

Half a day later.

He brought everyone from Jiugong Village, including Granny Gu, out with him.

Gu Xue was also brought along.

Of course, there was also Gu Xiu's remains.

Back then, Gu Xiu abandoned him.

However, as the only descendant of the Gu clan of the Nine Heavens Star Palace, there are some things he has to do.

Gu Jian used the sacred fire to burn Gu Xiu's body to ashes.

After placing the ashes in a box, Gu Jian carried them to the hillside near the village, to the Gu family's private mausoleum.

The hillside is dotted with graves.

Besides his mother, there were his grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother...

Countless generations of the Gu family have been buried in this area.

Gu Jian selected a feng shui treasure land.

He then asked Long Jun for help to build a simple grave, and then buried Gu Xiu's ashes there.

Half a day later, Gu Jian looked at the tombstone with the words "Tomb of Gu Xiu" and said, "I buried you not because I forgave you, but because I am the only descendant of the Gu clan."

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you will be a good person."

After offering incense, Gu Jian turned and left.

Because his mother was still alive, Gu Jian's hatred for Gu Xiu lessened considerably.

However, Gu Jian still couldn't forget the fact that his father had abandoned him back then.

Gu Jian felt heartless; even at this moment, he had not forgiven his father.

But so what?

As a victim, why should you engage in self-pity and forgive the abuser?

Even if it's his biological father, it's the same.

If they were to forgive him now, Gu Jian's thoughts would not be able to be fulfilled.

Perhaps one day, as time goes by, he will gradually forget the hurt he suffered back then.

But that's not forgiveness either.

It's just that I let myself off the hook.

When Gu Jian came down from the mountain, Gu Xue, who had buried Gu Xiu with him, chased after him, crying.

She hugged Gu Jian tightly from behind, saying, "Brother, don't abandon me. Don't leave Xue'er alone."
