......
However, Jiang Xinyue, who was sulking with her arms folded, suddenly remembered Gu Litong's original question.
She pondered for a while, and suddenly gritted her teeth.
"You mentioned Grandmaster just now. Do you want me to break through?"
Gu Litong: “…”
Jiang Xinyue asked again: "Are you worried that I can't protect the Gu family with my current strength?"
Gu Litong: “…”
Jiang Xinyue said coldly:
"Haha, since you're worried about me, why don't you go find the Liang family?"
"How many people has the Gu family offended? Don't you know?"
"I'm almost overwhelmed by the trouble caused by that damn girl 'Jiang Xue'. How can I care about the life and death of your Gu family?"
She spoke decisively, but she was stealing glances at Gu Litong out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that the old man remained silent, Jiang Xinyue suddenly stood up and stared down at him.
"If you don't tell me the truth, you'll be dead. Don't expect me to help you at all!"
Gu Litong sighed and explained, "I'm not worried about your lack of strength. I'm worried about the current situation. You, a Grandmaster..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Xinyue sneered, "Want to change the subject? Stop playing dumb with me."
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Gu Litong's dry eyelids drooped slightly. He was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the vast sky.
"Now, in order to compete for merit, whether it's the military or the alliance, the aristocratic families and the government are in chaos. Even the martial immortals have come out to support them."
"It seems that with Ah Xue's invincible combat power at the lower third level, retaking the Western Border Passage is as easy as taking candy from a sack."
"Flowers are in full bloom, fire is blazing..."
"...I...always have a bad feeling."
When Jiang Xinyue heard this, she thought of Li Wei at the front line and her face turned cold.
She sat back in the folding chair, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Litong's profile.
"You're half-disabled, so what if you feel bad about it... Gu Litong, explain yourself clearly..."
Gu Litong chuckled, and there was a sense of desolation in his laughter.
"These past few days, I've extracted some real blood from my father... on the premise of not affecting his condition..."
"With this true blood, I can temporarily possess the power of a martial immortal."
"I was thinking," he stopped looking up, and turned his cloudy eyes to look directly at Jiang Xinyue, "If there really is a big change on the front line, I will risk my life to get Ah Xue out."
His tone became extremely serious, "I don't want my tragedy to happen to Jinzhi again."
Bang!
Hiss——!
Jiang Xinyue suddenly stood up, and the folding chair broke into pieces.
"'Jiang Xue' is my granddaughter!"
She became sharp-tongued and extremely irritable.
"If anyone needs to be rescued, I'll be the one to do it. There's no need for a half-crippled old man like you!"
"Hey, wait!"
Gu Litong suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiang Xinyue.
Because his fishing float responded again.
The old man just shook his wrist and lifted the pole!
Crash——!
A big fat fish was pulled out of the water and struggled desperately in mid-air.
The old man's face suddenly lit up with joy. He took the fish off with great joy and put it carefully into the fish basket.
After doing all this, he wiped his hands and spoke, his voice a little intermittent.
"Sister Yue..."
Hearing this name, Jiang Xinyue was in a trance for a moment.
......
Time seemed to go back to that summer decades ago.
On the campus of Qingyun Wuhan University, a tall and handsome boy blushed and shyly handed her a love letter.
She was about to lose her temper, but the boy waved his hands nervously.
"Sister Yue, please, could you help me deliver this letter... to Zhao Funing?"
......
Jiang Xinyue was almost drowning in distant memories until Gu Litong's old, hoarse, and slow voice woke her up.
"It's been almost forty years since Xiao Ning and I parted ways."
"I am a useless person."
"I couldn't protect her back then, but now I just want to be with her."
His smile suddenly brightened and his spirits lifted, as if he had suddenly become decades younger.
"Don't argue with me this time."
"Besides, I'm just guessing, nothing might happen."
