Gu Xue cried for a long time before she calmed down a bit.
Then, she climbed to her father's bedside.
Gu Xue's face was covered in tears, filled with despair.
Her hand trembled as she grasped Gu Xiu's hand, which had become withered from the curse. "Father, I'm sorry. Xue'er can't save you. Waaah..."
Gu Xue cried sadly.
The hand that Gu Xiu was holding, which belonged to Gu Xue, moved slightly.
Gu Xue was slightly taken aback.
Has Father woken up?
She looked up and saw Gu Xiu struggling to open his eyes.
Gu Xue's spirits lifted, and then more tears streamed down her face. "Father, you're awake."
"Father, I'm sorry."
"Xue'er, she's not your biological daughter. I'm sorry..."
She was heartbroken and in pain.
Gu Xiu sighed, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Gu Xue, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xue'er, you know everything, don't you?"
What?
Gu Xue was slightly startled. "Father, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you already knew that I am not your daughter?"
I overheard the conversation between the father and daughter.
Ye Qingcheng, Liu Ruyan, Ai Youwei, and Su Mengyao were all stunned.
Grandma Gu was also stunned.
From the meaning of Gu Xiu's words.
He already knew?
What exactly is going on?
Everyone present was completely stunned.
Ye Qingcheng, with her keen eyes, noticed that Gu Xiu's awakening this time was not an improvement.
He was already exhausted and his life was over.
This is his last burst of energy before death.
With the added medicinal power of the Nine-Bend Filial Piety Pill, which provided him with some spiritual energy, he looked somewhat better.
Gu Xiu looked at Gu Xue and sighed, "Three years ago, when your mother left, she told me that you are not your father's biological daughter."
“You are the daughter of your mother and her long-deceased Luo family guard.”
"Back then, your mother lied to me."
"But before the demons descended upon the world, Father always believed that you were Father's daughter."
He spoke slowly, restraining his emotions, yet it was clear that...
He was in great pain.
When talking about these things.
His body trembled slightly as he lay on the bed, his face pale and ashen.
Gu Xue's heart trembled, and she said to Gu Xiu, "Father, so you knew all along. Why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Xiu said bitterly, "What's the use of saying anything? It won't change the outcome."
"Besides, although you are not my biological daughter, I have long regarded you as my own daughter."
"father……"
Gu Xue burst into tears instantly, "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, Father. Xue'er didn't know any of this."
Gu Xue burst into tears.
Gu Xiu sighed, "There's no need to apologize. Father knows you're innocent. Father has never blamed you."
"Blame it on your mother for deceiving me."
"I also have to blame myself for doing such a foolish thing back then and for easily believing her lies."
"The most innocent ones are Jian'er and Jian'er's mother."
"The people I have wronged the most in this world are them."
"If I hadn't done those foolish things back then, I would still have a happy family now..."
"Jian'er's mother might not die either."
At this point, Gu Xiu could no longer contain his emotions, and tears streamed down his face.
Those were tears of regret.
Tears of pain.
He had never felt such remorse as he did at this moment.
Previously, he did not believe in cause and effect.
Now he knows it's all retribution.
Even so, Ai Youwei, who was standing not far away, was still very angry.
Liu Ruyan and Su Mengyao were also looking at him.
He really suffered.
But they didn't want to sympathize with him.
Grandma Gu sighed.
Gu Xiu looked at Granny Gu and said, "Granny, I've disappointed you."
Granny Gu shook her head and said, "I am indeed disappointed. I thought you were the most reliable person in the village. But look at the state you've become. You've harmed yourself and others. You don't deserve any sympathy."
Gu Xiu felt a bitter taste in his mouth upon hearing this.
Granny Gu was always gentle and rarely spoke of such things.
But he knew it was all his own doing.
Gu Xiu then looked up in Ye Qingcheng's direction.
During Ye Qingcheng's alchemy practice, he had already learned of her identity through Granny Gu.
"Sect Leader Ye, thank you so much for saving Jian'er back then and raising him to adulthood."
"I will never forget this kindness."
Ye Qingcheng remained silent.
Ai Youwei curled her lip and said, "They all abandoned Senior Brother and still say they 'will never forget him.' Damn it, they act like they care about Senior Brother so much. They think they're saints, so hypocritical. They're just scum."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu coughed heavily.
Liu Ruyan had the same thought, but seeing Gu Xiu's appearance, she said to Ai Youwei, "Youwei, say less. He seems to be dying."
Ai Youwei blinked and said, "Really?"
"Mm!" Liu Ruyan nodded gently.
Cough cough cough.
Gu Xiu was still coughing desperately.
He even coughed up blood, which looked terrifying and startled Gu Xue.
"Father, what's wrong? Father, are you alright?"
As she spoke, Gu Xue quickly stood up and gently patted Gu Xiu's back, hoping that this would make her father feel better.
Gu Xiu's pale face regained some color from coughing, but it was a sickly color.
He looked at Gu Xue and said weakly, "Xue'er, I'm fine. But she's right. Father is indeed a scumbag..."
"Father is sorry for Jian'er, sorry for Jian'er's mother, father deserves to die..."
After he finished speaking, his expression was pained, and he looked more sorrowful than ever before.
