Just then, the outer disciple suddenly knelt down and kowtowed several times to Gu Changqing.
"Senior Gu, you are truly my benefactor and my lucky star. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would still be here studying and practicing diligently indefinitely. I really don't know how to repay your great kindness. I don't have any special skills, and my family's conditions are just average. I don't have any valuable treasures to give to Senior Gu, so I can only kowtow a few times to express my gratitude!" The outer disciple said sincerely.
"You think you can just kowtow a few times and call it a day for the great kindness I have shown you? That's far too perfunctory, isn't it?" Gu Changqing said casually with a slight smile.
"No, no, no, I can never repay Senior Gu's great kindness in this lifetime. I just don't have anything to repay him with right now, so I'll kowtow a few times to express my gratitude. I will definitely repay your kindness when I become successful." The outer disciple explained in a flustered manner, afraid that Gu Changqing would misunderstand.
"Haha, I was just saying that casually. Look how scared you are. I can understand that your family is not well-off. I won't force you to repay me now. You can repay me when you are successful in the future. Oh, by the way, do you have any sisters? If you have any pretty older or younger sisters, you can introduce them to me." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly.
Although he volunteered to pass on his skills, he also wanted to gain some benefits, since he had put in a lot of effort and wasted a lot of time.
"I'm sorry, Chief Gu, I don't have a younger sister, but I do have an older sister. However, my sister is already married, and her son is going through his birth year this year. Surely you wouldn't be interested in him, Senior Gu?" The outer disciple hesitated for a moment before saying apologetically.
"Of course, I am not the kind of person who would forcibly take a woman from the people," Gu Changqing said with a smile.
"This disciple knew that Senior Gu was of noble character and not that kind of person. Rest assured, if I ever obtain any treasure, I will definitely give it to Senior Gu first. I will surely repay you." The outer disciple said resolutely and firmly.
"Alright, then I'll remember your words and wait for you to repay me in the future!" Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"Although I don't have a younger sister, I did have a fiancée. We were betrothed when we were little. She's quite pretty, but her family isn't easy to get along with. Recently, they've been making a fuss about breaking off the engagement with me." The outer disciple suddenly changed his tone and said nonsensically.
"Why is that?" Gu Changqing asked curiously.
"They complained that my family had fallen on hard times, that our conditions were no longer as prosperous as before, and that I was incompetent and lacked ability. So they suddenly changed their minds and wanted to break off the engagement. When I found out about this, I was furious and wanted to do everything I could to salvage the situation, but I was helpless. So I had no choice but to let go. But I was not willing to give up, which is why I studied hard here, hoping that one day I could regain my lost face and dignity!" The outer disciple said in detail without any reservation.
"I believe you can definitely do it, right now. You've already become an Emperor, your cultivation is very high, and no one dares to underestimate you anymore."
Gu Changqing encouraged him with full confidence. His confidence did not stem from his trust in the disciple, but from his confidence in his ability to pass on his skills.
"Is this true, Senior Gu? I didn't know how powerful the Great Emperor was. I had only heard others talk about how powerful he was. I never thought I would become a Great Emperor myself." The outer disciple asked with a curious expression.
"Of course it is!" Gu Changqing answered with absolute certainty.
"Now you can go back to your fiancée and openly take her back. How about that? Aren't you happy?" Gu Changqing continued to chatter on before the outer disciple could answer.
"I will definitely go back, but I don't plan to take her back. I have no feelings for her to begin with, and I don't want to force it. Let's just leave it at that. Besides, her family is not only arrogant and condescending, but they also cause too much trouble and are too difficult to deal with. I really don't want to get entangled with her family anymore!" The outer disciple said with a resolute expression and great seriousness.
"Since I'm free anyway, why don't I go with you? It'll be good to have someone to look after you. If a fight breaks out and you're not up to it, I can help you. What do you think?" Gu Changqing suggested casually with a faint smile.
Gu Changqing wanted to go along not because he was bored, but because he wanted to see if the outer disciple's fiancée was really as beautiful and charming as he said. If she was indeed stunningly beautiful, he would definitely try every means to get her.
"I'm afraid that's not a good idea. After all, this is my own business. How can I trouble Senior Gu to help me? I already owe you a debt of gratitude, and if I owe you more..." the outer disciple said with some hesitation.
"What are you afraid of? You can't pay it back anyway, so don't worry about owing it again. You don't need to worry either. This time, I wanted to go myself, so I should take care of you. It doesn't count as you owing me. Is that okay?" Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback and said speechlessly. He didn't expect this disciple to be so stubborn and so stupid.
"Oh, well, that's not a bad idea. Since Senior Gu wants to come with me, then let's go. But let's make it clear beforehand, Senior Gu, don't help me. I want to solve this myself." The outer disciple smiled and said seriously.
