Seven days passed quickly. During these seven days, Gu Qing never left the Chi clan. He stayed in the Chi clan and talked about countless things with his son Xiao Yuan.
"Father, is this what mother looks like?"
Xiao Yuan was holding a portrait in his hand, which was carved on paper by Gu Qing using his spiritual energy.
In seven days, Gu Qing had become completely familiar with Xiao Yuan.
Gu Qing looked at Xiao Yuan and said with a smile: "Yes, this is what your mother looks like. Your mother is a very good and kind person. It's a pity that she didn't accompany you in your childhood."
Gu Qing looked outside, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Xiao Yuan, remember, from now on, you must live your own life well. Your father will no longer be able to accompany you."
In seven days, Gu Qing has told Xiao Yuan everything. This memory will be sealed deep in his mind. When he reaches a certain level in his cultivation in the future, he will be able to get all the memories back.
"Father, I will." Xiao Yuan nodded.
"Are you scared?" Gu Qing asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Yuan shook his head.
"That's fine! Come on, follow father out, you will have a brand new life from now on!"
"good!"
Gu Qing stood up, pulled Xiao Yuan with him, and walked outside.
Outside the hall, the Great Elder stood outside and said respectfully to the inside of the hall: "Clan Leader! The seven days are up."
A figure walked out of the hall, it was Chi Hao.
Chi Hao was not in a very good mood at this time, and was trying hard to suppress his fatigue.
"Chief? Are you okay?"
Chi Hao shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just spent a lot of time these days and got some things. I hope they can be used."
"The clan leader has really put a lot of effort into Xiao Yuan!" sighed the great elder.
"Haha, I've long considered this child my own. Brother Gu's child is my child. Now my child is being forced to start a brand new life, a life full of dangers, a life of uncertainty. How can I not worry?"
The Great Elder said, "Don't worry, Clan Leader. These things are just for show. Saint Sect Master Shengxuzi only said not to trip us up, but he didn't say we should secretly help the young master!"
Chi Hao smiled and said, "You don't understand Brother Gu. Once he makes a decision, no one can change his mind. He will definitely not let me protect Xiao Yuan in secret anymore. But it's okay. The Chi Clan will definitely have Xiao Yuan's safety information in their hands."
The Great Elder nodded and said, "Chief, let's go. It's already this late, and I think they will be here soon."
Chi Hao sighed and waved his hand, "Let's go and see how Brother Gu and Xiao Yuan are doing. They should have been having a good chat these past few days."
"Hahaha, Lord Qingsheng and the young master are having a very good chat, and I even heard the young master calling Lord Qingsheng "father." The Great Elder laughed.
"Oh? Such rapid progress? I, your godfather, am going to be jealous! Hahaha!" said Chi Hao.
When they arrived at the backyard, Chi Hao and the others happened to run into Gu Qing who was walking out.
"Brother Gu, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Chi Hao asked with a smile.
"Hey, the seven days are up, and I'm already out!"
Chi Hao asked, "How is it? Are you a little reluctant?"
"Hey! A man has to take charge of the family early. Sooner or later, he'll have to go through hardships. It's just that it's a little harder now. As a man, it's nothing!"
Although he said it lightly, Chi Hao could see that Gu Qing's hands were still shaking, which was enough to show how uneasy he was inside.
If it was back then, let alone this, even touching a hair of Xiao Yuan would be impossible. Gu Qing would definitely wipe them out, but the hero is old!
Gu Qing is no longer the Gu Qing of the past. Now he has one soul and three spirits, and they are incomplete. He no longer has the mighty power he had in the past!
"Brother Gu, I wonder how much longer you have?"
Chi Hao and Gu Qing are good brothers who can talk about anything. Gu Qing has no taboo about this sensitive issue.
"Alas, I was injured too badly back then. In order to retain a glimmer of hope, the remaining soul and three spirits had to withstand hundreds of heavenly tribulations. Now it is already badly damaged. I have at most three days left." Gu Qing said bitterly.
Although he knew this would be the final result, Chi Hao was still stunned.
"Is there no other way? The Chi clan still has many elixirs and precious medicines. You..."
Chi Hao was interrupted by Gu Qing before he could finish his words.
"No, what is a heavenly tribulation? It is the pure power of heavenly thunder. Even you now can't withstand the heavenly thunder that I experienced back then. My soul has been damaged long ago, and it is still dissipating all the time. This is why I am willing to compromise. Otherwise, I would have probably lost my soul a few days ago." Gu Qing said bitterly.
"I didn't expect your current condition has become so bad." Chi Hao said.
Gu Qing waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I was already dying a long time ago. I'm only alive now thanks to the silver sword I left behind. Without the sword I've tempered for so many years, you wouldn't be who I am today. I'm already content. I felt so sorry for her when I couldn't protect her back then. If I can't protect our son now, I won't have the face to see her."
Chi Hao knew who the "she" Gu Qing was talking about.
"Brother Gu, can you tell me...what exactly happened to you back then?"
After thinking about it, Chi Hao asked.
He still remembers what happened back then vividly. At that time, Gu Qing's face was covered in blood and he entrusted Xiao Yuan to him. It seemed that he was being chased!
Chi Hao would never forget this!
Of course, he also hoped that he was wrong. At that time, Gu Qing was already the top fighter in the continent. If he was really being hunted, then who exactly was the other party?
"Brother Chi!"
Gu Qing's body suddenly shook, and this reaction made Chi Hao's face change slightly.
"What happened back then was unbelievable. I... I've never seen such a terrifying existence!"
"What do you mean, Brother Gu?"
Chi Hao hurriedly set up a barrier to completely isolate himself from the outside world.
Gu Qing sighed and said, "Back then, I was being hunted by an unknown being. Then, Ting'er's aura was sensed by the Heavenly Dao. Coupled with my unstable aura, I wanted to break through, but I couldn't find the slightest opportunity. That's why I had to force a breakthrough, attract the thunder from the sky, and kill that person!"
Chi Hao was shocked!
He looked at Gu Qing, his face pale as he asked, "So... the reason you chose to break through was more because of... that existence?"
"That's right! Because at that time I didn't have the strength to break through by force." Gu Qing nodded and said.
"What on earth is that existence?"
Gu Qing shook his head. "I'm not sure. Even Ting'er couldn't sense it. It seems... not a demon! It's like a being that has never appeared before. I've never seen such an aura before!"
