A few minutes ago.
Gu Shiheng and Gu Jinzhi left the small building and walked side by side on the stone path in the back garden.
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Only when they passed a flower garden did Gu Shiheng stop, turn around and look at his son, smiling and saying:
"Your grandfather asked you to test it, but you used all your strength. Aren't you afraid of offending your wife and not letting you go to bed?"
Gu Jinzhi's handsome features stiffened imperceptibly for a moment, and he said, "You've seen the video recording, so you should understand that if I don't give it my all, I can't beat her."
His mind couldn't help but replay the fierce battle just now, the ghostly movements, the unreasonably sharp sword light, and the unity of heaven and man and his natal white lotus...
As all these scenes intertwined, a trace of fear still remained in his heart.
In the past twenty years or so, when had he ever been so embarrassed when fighting with his peers?
This embarrassment even diluted the joy of the breakthrough of "Sword of the Fiery Sun".
Gu Shiheng's heart was also shaken when he heard this.
God knows how shocked he was when he watched the video just now. Even by the end, he felt a little numb.
A first-level warrior nearly defeated a third-level warrior, and that third-level warrior was a genius like Gu Jinzhi, who possessed the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels...
"Your grandfather and your mother have married you a 'little monster'..." He shook his head and smiled bitterly, then seemed to remember something and asked, "Is this girl okay?"
Gu Jinzhi gave his father a look that said, "Is that even a question?"
After a moment of silence, he analyzed clearly:
"Her 'Cold Pond Sunken Jade' is extremely proficient. Even with her training sword, she can still suppress the sword's whistling sound to an extremely low level. She is definitely at the minor success stage."
"This level of 'Cold Pond Sunken Jade' is absolutely impossible to achieve without five to ten years of hard practice."
He paused, then continued, "As for the natal lotus, you've seen it in the video. I don't quite understand the mystery of the Taiyin Jade Lotus Treasure Scroll, but it has always been the symbol of the Jiang family's core heritage."
"There should be no problem with her identity."
Gu Shiheng sighed deeply, "In this case, I am relieved. Your mother...sigh——"
He looked up at the setting sun in the sky. "Given the Liang family's inherent nature of protecting their relatives and not others, I thought she would find a scapegoat for you."
Gu Jinzhi's expression remained calm, but his eyes moved slightly:
"I told her that I would never accept anyone to go to Western Xinjiang on my behalf."
"If she insists on doing this, I will die with the woman she finds..."
"She promised me that she would respect my choice."
Gu Shiheng smiled bitterly: "If this worked, would your grandfather have gone to the trouble of letting you test that girl?"
He shook his head and said, "Ah, I really didn't expect your mother to be so... well-behaved this time... Tsk, that's not like her style..."
"Now I can rest assured. Even if she wants Jiang Xue to replace you, the head of the Jiang family will not agree."
Gu Jinzhi: “…”
He was naturally aware of his mother's style of doing things, and this time it was indeed abnormal.
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore!" Gu Shiheng patted his son's arm, with encouragement and expectation, "Even for such a good wife, you have to work hard to live, understand?"
"As for the Zhang family," he mused, "I'll unite with a few familiar factions and try my best to negotiate. What happened thirty years ago was just a matter of words from them. Don't the Zhang family know what's going on? There's no deep-seated hatred between the two families. With proper handling, there might be room for maneuver."
"As for the battlefield..." Gu Shiheng looked at his son's upright figure, his eyes full of pride as a father, "I believe in my son. A mere abyssal monster can't do anything to you!"
[Such a good wife? ]
Gu Jinzhi was stung by the word "wife" and his thoughts became a little vague.
Many fragments flashed through my mind uncontrollably.
The first time I heard that excited sentence from Zeng Yi's voice:
"I'll die for him, I'm happy to die for him! If I could go to the front lines in Western Xinjiang and stay in a bunker for him, I'd wake up laughing in the middle of the night, don't you believe it?"
Later, there was Jiang Han's exasperated question:
"I want to see how far you can go for that brat Gu Jinzhi!"
"Are you determined to go to the battlefield?"
And today...she who carelessly put her arm around his shoulders;
The sword light in the martial arts arena was like a waterfall, extremely fast and fierce;
Shrouded in the shadow of the white lotus, she fought a final blow, even though she was defeated she was still honorable;
And... she pounced on me like a little wild cat, wrestling with me in a ball, completely unorganized yet... making me feel strange...
Finally, the picture freezes at the moment of first meeting——
He stood on the second-floor terrace, leaning on the railing and looking down.
She had just gotten off the car when the breeze blew up her skirt. She subconsciously reached out to hold it down and then looked up.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Back then, the image of the taciturn little girl was gradually replaced by this lively figure.
A very faint smile quietly climbed up the corner of Gu Jinzhi's lips, diluting the coldness between his brows.
"Oh?" Gu Shiheng keenly caught this slight change, with a surprised and mischievous expression on his face, "Why, are you falling in love with me?"
The warmth on Gu Jinzhi's face instantly faded away:
"This marriage was originally arranged to appease Grandpa. As for the rest... we'll discuss it after I return alive from the Western Frontier."
