Hearing what Lie Yuer said, Gu Yuan's face changed. How could it be so scary?
"Those black-clad men were filled with murderous intent. Even though my Lie clan was already the top force in the area, and even though we had many powerful Spirit Kings and even several ancestors with Spirit Venerable cultivation, we found that those black-clad men were so strong that we were simply unable to contend with them. So they began their massacre right in front of my Lie clan. My ancestors died in battle one after another, and my father, uncles, and other relatives also died in battle one after another. Of the 729 members of my Lie clan, only less than 10 remained!"
At this point, Lie Yuer was already sobbing, with her head buried deep between her knees.
Gu Yuan was extremely shocked. He never thought that this peach-like woman had such a tragic past.
Gu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Lie Yuer, but he didn't know what to say.
More importantly, Gu Yuan felt a little terrified. What kind of force could have wiped out a family with several powerful Spiritual Lords so completely?!
Lie Yu'er's voice gradually became smaller. She hurriedly wiped her cheeks with her hands, wiping away all the tears on her face. She looked at Gu Yuan with tearful eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Gu Yuan sighed and said, "It's okay, it's all over!"
Lie Yuer laughed bitterly and said, "Hundreds of people from my Lie clan disappeared without a trace overnight. That night, our Lie clan was massacred! Only less than ten people survived!"
"Then... do you know the origins of those men in black?" Gu Yuan asked Lie Yuer.
Lie Yu'er shook her head and said, "Our Lie Clan is rooted in the Southern Region. After the bloody incident, less than ten of us survived. I survived and fled all the way to Beastmaster City, where I lived and then opened the Tianxuan Auction House. For so many years, I have always wanted to return to the Southern Region, but..."
Lie Yu'er shook her head in pain, "But I can't do it, I really can't! I don't even know who our enemy is!"
Gu Yuan looked at Lie Yuer's painful expression and felt a pang of heartache in his heart.
"If you want to cry, just cry out loud. My shoulder can hold you." Gu Yuan said softly.
Lie Yuer, who had been deliberately restraining her emotions, looked at Gu Yuan, and her tears could no longer be held back. She fell directly into Gu Yuan's arms and burst into tears.
Gu Yuan panicked and didn't know where to put his hands.
Finally, he sighed, patted Lie Yu'er's back gently, and said, "Cry, cry, I have really made things difficult for you over the years."
Gu Yuan could understand Lie Yuer's feelings. She was burdened with a deep blood feud, and as a weak woman, she had no talent for cultivation. She could only let her enemies go unpunished and could not do anything. If someone else had this feeling, they would probably have been unable to bear it, right?
Lie Yuer cried for half an hour, soaking Gu Yuan's arms, and then she calmed down a little.
Lie Yuer raised her head and looked at Gu Yuan a little embarrassedly, saying, "I...I didn't mean it."
Gu Yuan smiled and asked, "Does crying make you feel better?"
Lie Yu'er pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been suppressing it for so many years, and I really couldn't hold it back today."
"It's not a good thing to keep something in your heart. It will cause problems over time. It's a good thing to release it like this." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"I'm glad you understand!"
Lie Yuer wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes and said with her head down.
"well……"
With a soft sigh, Gu Yuan asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Intend?"
Lie Yuer smiled bitterly and said, "I really want to investigate the annihilation of the Lie Clan, but I may not be able to do it in this lifetime. If possible, I want to carry forward the Tianxuan Auction House and then establish a large enough information intelligence system, preferably one that covers the entire continent. In this way, we will be able to find out who was responsible for the Lie Clan's destruction!"
"Uh... this goal is really a bit far away!" Gu Yuan said with a wry smile.
Lie Yuer's expression suddenly darkened, and she said, "Yeah, this is simply an impossible task. It's just some of my imagination!"
"But don't be in a hurry to say it won't work until the end! You have to believe in yourself!" Gu Yuan said comfortingly.
How could Lie Yuer not know that Gu Yuan was comforting her?
So he said, "My Lie Clan also had several Spirit Lord-level warriors in the past, but they couldn't withstand a few moves at the hands of those people. It's obvious that there are Spirit Emperors among those black-clothed men. Spirit Emperors, this level of existence is already a symbol of extremely powerful forces. Revenge? It will be difficult in this life!"
"You have to believe in yourself. There is nothing absolute in the world. Just like you are not good at cultivation, but your business ability is extremely outstanding. Haven't you ever thought about letting the Tianxuan Auction House go out little by little? If the Tianxuan Auction House is developed into what you just said, and becomes a presence all over the continent, I think no one has the ability to do it, but don't forget that the completion of any matter starts with a little bit of small goals. You can set a small goal first, such as how long it will take to develop the Tianxuan Auction House to what scale, to what extent, and where to go! I guess that although you want the Tianxuan Auction House to become stronger very much, you may not have thought about these at all. Complete small goals little by little, so that you can slowly achieve a big goal. It is very difficult to become a fat man all at once." Gu Yuan reminded.
Looking at Gu Yuan, Lie Yu'er's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had received a coral enlightenment. She said, "Yes! You are right. For so many years, I have been thinking about revenge all the time. I have always dreamed of expanding the Tianxuan Auction House and making it a major force throughout the continent. But now I think about it, I was too presumptuous. I should set a small goal. In this way, slowly, one day I may be able to realize my dream. Even if... even if I don't live to see that day, I still have surviving people. They can reproduce and thrive, and my Lie clan will never be destroyed!"
Seeing Lie Yu'er's excitement, Gu Yuan laughed and said, "That's right, you must believe in it. Take your time, and you will succeed one day! This is especially true for things that can't be completed in a short time!"
"It's such a simple question, but I've been stuck in it for so many years. Thank you so much for helping me get out of it!"
