"Father, is this punishment too severe?"
Gu Qingshuang gritted her teeth and spoke with difficulty under the pressure from Gu Kuange.
"Is it heavy?"
Gu Kuange snorted coldly:
"You've caused Zhi'er to wander away for twelve years. How much suffering has Zhi'er endured in those twelve years? I just asked you to go and apologize, and you feel embarrassed?"
Gu Qingshuang's eyes turned red.
She really wanted to say, "What the hell does it have to do with her how much suffering Gu Zhi has endured in the past twelve years?" She wished Gu Zhi would die out there!
But she knew very well how important Gu Zhi was in Gu Kuange's heart, so she could only take a deep breath and said tremblingly:
"Father, Qingxue is still in the Southern Wilds. We can just wait for Qingxue to bring Gu Zhi back to our home and then apologize to him. Why should we risk our lives and go to the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect to apologize?"
boom!!!
The true energy in Gu Kuange's body surged, and a strong wind swept through the entire conference hall. The earth was shaking and the void was buzzing.
The already terrifying pressure became even more terrifying at this moment. Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue felt as if their bones were about to break.
"You still have the nerve to mention Qingxue?"
Gu Kuange's fists were clenched so tightly that veins bulged out. He suppressed his voice and it became hoarse:
"Qingxue is dead!"
Gu Qingshuang, Gu Qingyue, and Gu Chen all had their pupils shrink suddenly at this moment.
"Qingxue...is she dead?"
"Second sister...Second sister is dead?"
"How is this possible? How could my second sister die?"
Gu Kuange's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent:
"News came from the Southern Wilds today that Qingxue died at the hands of Ye Qinghan."
"It was because of Qingxue's death that I found out what happened twelve years ago!"
Gu Kuange stared at Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue with bloodshot eyes:
"Before Ye Qinghan killed Qingxue, Xu Tangxi tried to save Qingxue. During the fight between Ye Qinghan and Xu Tangxi, Ye Qinghan said that Zhier had been living away from home for twelve years because of Qingxue."
"I remembered that twelve years ago, you two and Qingxue came to see me together, so I guessed that you two must have been involved, so I tricked you. I didn't expect you to actually tell the truth, and this truth is so cruel to Zhier!"
Gu Qingshuang and Gu Qingyue were stunned, as if petrified, unable to speak.
Gu Qingyue's heart was filled with regret. She should have refused to admit it.
Even if Ye Qinghan knew about this, it meant that Gu Zhi must have recovered his memory, and the truth might still be revealed in the future.
But before that, he could find a way to get rid of Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan. It would be better than being tricked into confessing and forced by Gu Kuange to go to the Wanxue Demon Sect to die.
Gu Qingshuang's heart was filled with resentment.
When Gu Kuange learned the news of Gu Qingxue's death today, shouldn't he be furious and try to find a way to kill Ye Qinghan?
But Gu Kuange immediately called her, Qingyue and Gu Chen to question and punish them?
Is this what a father does after learning his daughter is dead?
Isn’t Gu Qingxue’s death much more important than what happened twelve years ago?
That incident happened so long ago, Gu Zhi himself probably doesn’t care about it anymore, so why is Gu Kuange still pursuing it?
Gu Qingshuang is very disappointed with Gu Kuange!
"You guys should leave now."
Gu Kuange turned around, as if he didn't want to even look at Gu Qingshuang and the others.
"father……"
Gu Qingshuang's eyes were red:
"Qingxue died after going to the Southern Wilderness. Do you really want us to go? And you want us to go to the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect?"
Gu Kuange didn't move or say a word, obviously he had made up his mind.
Gu Qingshuang was very angry, but more afraid.
She didn't want to die.
So Gu Qingshuang looked at Gu Chen.
Although Gu Kuange now neglects Gu Chen, Gu Chen was Gu Kuange's most beloved child after all.
Moreover, Gu Chen is the young master of the Gu family. If Gu Chen speaks for them and pleads for them, perhaps there will be a slight turn for the better?
When Gu Chen noticed that Gu Qingshuang was looking at him, he immediately lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
"Xiaochen!"
Gu Qingshuang sent a telepathic message to Gu Chen:
"Please beg for mercy on your sister!"
But Gu Chen still lowered his head as if he didn't hear it.
Gu Qingshuang's heart sank to the bottom.
Gu Chen...
Why treat her like this?
She treats her younger brother Gu Chen with all her heart.
She had just helped Gu Chen stabilize his cultivation, and told Gu Chen that siblings should help each other, and Gu Chen nodded and said yes.
As a result, when she and Gu Qingyue were scolded by Gu Kuange, Gu Chen seemed to have disappeared and didn't say a word.
Now she took the initiative to ask Gu Chen for help, but Gu Chen ignored her?
Is this the mutual help that Gu Chen promised her?
Gu Qingshuang's heart was very cold.
She suddenly felt very disappointed with her younger brother Gu Chen.
She suddenly remembered that from childhood to adulthood, it seemed that she was the one helping Gu Chen and paying for him.
What about Gu Chen, has he done anything for her? It seems not.
She didn't think it was a big deal before, always thinking that Gu Chen was still young and everything would be fine when he grew up.
But at this moment, looking at Gu Chen who lowered his head in silence, a corner of Gu Qingshuang's long-sealed memory was suddenly opened——
When Gu Zhi was three years old, he saw that she was injured while practicing sword, and immediately ran towards her to bandage her wound.
When Gu Zhi was four years old, he knew that she had reached a bottleneck in her practice, so he gave her the elixir her father had given him.
When Gu Zhi was five years old, knowing that she liked irises, he planted a large patch of them in the yard and gave them to her on her birthday.
Gu Zhi had been wandering outside for twelve years. When he returned home, he specially brought her an iris.
Gu Qingshuang suddenly remembered that Gu Zhi seemed to have done a lot for her, although they were all trivial things, but...
How old was Gu Zhi before? He was just a little kid, but couldn't he also give everything for her?
Even if it was just a very small thing, at least Gu Zhi did it.
But Gu Chen is still young, but he is several years older than Gu Zhi.
Gu Chen never did even one thing for her.
Even now, when she took the initiative to ask Gu Chen for help, Gu Chen pretended not to see or hear anything.
"Qingyue, let's go."
Gu Qingshuang took Gu Qingyue's hand and smiled bitterly:
"Maybe we should go and apologize to Xiaozhi."
In the past, Gu Zhi treated her well, but she didn't care and never took it to heart. She even thought Gu Zhi was too clingy and a follower, which made her feel annoyed just by looking at him.
Until now, looking at Gu Chen who lowered his head and refused to say a word for her, Gu Qingshuang suddenly woke up and realized how good Gu Zhi was.
Ye Qinghan was right. Gu Zhi was the good brother she should cherish, but she treated Gu Chen as a treasure and gave so much for him...
Gu Qingshuang regretted it.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Today, she finally understood Gu Chen clearly.
"Xiao Zhi, is it too late for me to turn back now?"
Gu Qingshuang's eyes were red as she looked towards the south:
"Xiao Zhi, I'm here to apologize to you. Will you forgive me?"
