Gu Ting nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Father. When I get back, I'll tell him not to go out and just stay at the Gu family to practice. Once the hype has passed, I'll let him leave or make other plans. Also, thank you so much, Father, for your consideration, understanding, and support."
The head of the Gu family touched Gu Ting's head and said with a smile: "You are my daughter. I will definitely support you in everything you do. If I don't support you, who else can I support? Can I support someone else? You are my daughter, you are so outstanding, I believe that you must have your own ideas in everything you do, just like this competition for the qualification of the family patriarch's successor. Even though you are a girl, you still have your own ideas and are bound to participate in this matter. So even if it is unreasonable, I will still fight for this opportunity for you, because I know you have your own ideas, you have your own things to do, and you have your own thoughts on everything. So it is because of this that I support you, otherwise I would not do this."
Gu Ting's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Father is so lucky to have you."
The Gu family head smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and do your thing. I still need to discuss things with the family elders, evaluate your performance during this period, and then think about what the next assessment for you should be."
"Okay, then father, I'll be leaving first."
After leaving the hall, Gu Ting was in a very good mood.
Gu Ting was very grateful and thankful to her father for his promise to cancel the engagement and his support for what she had done. After all, as the patriarch of the Gu family, it was already very good for him to do this.
Although he is the head of the Gu family, he is not the only one who has the final say in the affairs of the Gu family. There is also a group of elders behind him, and the head of the family cannot have full authority over everything.
Just like Gu Ting's marriage, it was very difficult for the head of the Gu family to cancel the engagement, but he still promised Gu Ting to help him cancel the engagement. This shows the love that the head of the Gu family has for Gu Ting.
Gu Ting felt happy because she knew this, as it proved that her father still cared about her.
Gu Ting secretly resolved to cultivate diligently and strive to enter the profession that would eventually become the heir to the family patriarch. Only then would she be able to gain greater power and influence within the family. She also had to strive to gain the elders' support. Now that one elder had expressed their support, Gu Ting was extremely happy. She was happier than any good thing she had experienced in years, as it proved the elders of her family recognized her. It also proved that her efforts had not been in vain. Otherwise, all her efforts would have been in vain.
When I returned to the backyard, Gu Yuan was sitting there alone, drinking by himself, looking very relaxed.
Gu Ting walked into the backyard and said to Gu Yuan, "You seem quite relaxed. You don't look worried at all. The Mu family seems to be tracking you down quite strictly now, but I don't think you're worried at all."
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting and asked, "Are you back?"
Gu Ting nodded, and then Gu Yuan said, "What do I have to worry about? I am now in your Gu family's backyard. If even your Gu family can't protect me, then what can I do?"
Gu Ting curled her lips and said, "What you said is true. I will definitely do my best to ensure your safety in our Gu family. But I have to tell you first that the Mu family has been very strict in tracking you down recently. You'd better stay out of the limelight during this period and don't go out. I have already talked to my father, and he has tacitly agreed that you can stay in our Gu family. But there is a prerequisite, that is, you can't go out during this period. Otherwise, if the Mu family's spies find out, it will be difficult for our Gu family to explain to the Mu family. What's more, Mu Tianxing and I are still engaged on the surface. If this matter gets out, it will be very disadvantageous to our Mu family. So after thinking about it, I still have to tell you that you should stay here and practice well during this period. It just so happens that you are also very tired during this period, so practice well and rest well. We can talk about other plans after the storm has passed."
After thinking for a while, Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will practice here with you. There's nothing wrong with eating and drinking here every day. It's much better than staying in the desert outside. I can also stroll around your Gu family every day when I have nothing to do."
Gu Ting smiled and said, "You can only move around in this backyard for the time being. After all, no one can say for sure whether there are spies from the Mu family among our Gu family. If there are and they find you here now, it will be really bad."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that there are many connections within your family. There are spies from the Mu family within your Gu family. It seems that the Mu family has also infiltrated your Gu family."
Gu Ting spread her hands and said, "As a big family in Gumo City, it's normal for them to have such tricks. Not only is the Mu family infiltrating our country, but our Gu family is also infiltrating the Mu family.
It was perfectly normal for both families to have members from the other family. However, when nothing was going on, both families would turn a blind eye. If they discovered anything, they would just get rid of it. No one would bring this up openly. After all, it was enough to be clear in the mind. Bringing it up would only make both parties embarrassed.
Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Well, the affairs of your big family are really too complicated. Anyway, I am alone, and nowadays, even in big families, very few people know about these things. I feel that such intrigue is too tiring."
Gu Ting also waved her hand and said, "What can we do? This is a game among big families. Every family wants to use various means to make their family stronger and suppress other family forces. This is the ultimate goal of the family. But it is not easy to do so. Suppressing the strength of other families and strengthening the strength of one's own family requires too many decisions.
However, these matters are all decided by the clan leader and the elders. Youngsters like us can't interfere, so relatively speaking, we have it easy. We just need to practice well. We are the new blood of the clan. When we grow up, that's when we will take on our responsibilities.
