Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting and said speechlessly.
He never expected that Gu Ting, who usually looked quite ladylike, would be so casual.
"Tsk, why do you care so much? Ladies and non-ladies are all the same, there is no difference." Gu Ting said indifferently.
"Well, whatever you say, I don't care anyway." Gu Yuan was speechless.
"By the way, I haven't heard you tell me yet, where are you from?" Gu Ting suddenly looked at Gu Yuan and asked.
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "There is no home in the vast sea. I am alone now and have no fixed place."
Gu Ting nodded, thinking that was the case, and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"have no idea."
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't have any plans. For now, I'll just take it one step at a time. After all, there's nothing much to say."
"Okay, you should just take your time to heal your wound. It will take at most ten days or half a month. By then you will be able to recover and return to your Gu family."
"No! I absolutely cannot go back to the clan easily this time. The trip to the oasis is my mission. I cannot go back before completing it. I wouldn't even agree to that myself."
"Mission? What mission?"
Gu Yuan asked deliberately.
"It's nothing, just a mission assigned by the family. Our family doesn't keep idle people. Everyone, regardless of their status, must begin to take on some responsibilities for the family after the age of sixteen. For example, this trip to the oasis is a mission I accepted from the family. As long as I complete the mission, I will receive corresponding benefits and improve my image in the eyes of the elders."
Gu Ting narrowed her eyes and continued, "And as I've said before, although I'm a daughter of the Gu family, my cultivation talent is far inferior to those outstanding members of the family. Their strength is far too great, even surpassing some of our elders. And I'm competing with them for the qualification to succeed the family. Tell me, this trip to the oasis is nothing. If I can't even make it this time, how can I compete with those people for the qualification to succeed the family in the future?"
"So you really intend to use your daughter to fight for the inheritance rights of the family patriarch? But in a family power like yours, if I guess correctly, the position of the family patriarch should be passed down to males and not females, right?" Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Gu Ting nodded and said, "You're right. It was indeed like that before, but later on, for some reasons, I was tacitly allowed to run for the clan leader's succession qualification, which is why all this happened now."
"So you will definitely not give up this trip to the oasis?" Gu Yuan asked.
"That's right. This trip to the oasis is a mission assigned to me by the family. Not only must I complete it, I must complete it perfectly. I must show them who says women are inferior to men!"
Gu Yuan scratched his head and couldn't help but touch the space ring on his finger under his sleeve.
If Gu Yuan guessed correctly, the golden crystal tiger with drooping eyes was guarding the basin.
However, all the spiritual herbs in that basin had been taken away by Gu Yuan first, and he took advantage of it. Now it would be useless even if Gu Ting went there.
But before that, Gu Yuan still wanted to find out a little bit, at least it would be better to get some information first.
"Well, I have a question. What is in the oasis? Why do you want to use the oasis as the basis for the success or failure of your mission?" Gu Yuan asked.
Gu Ting hesitated for a moment and said, "Because there are some places in the oasis that our family has already explored, they have placed special markers in the places they explored. We have to find and obtain the markers in the oasis. But the problem is, to obtain these things, we need to overcome many difficulties. There are definitely many difficulties, and it's not that you can get the markers just by getting them. Our family has been testing the younger generation for many years. Although the casualty rate is high, those who can survive and pass the exam are all outstanding."
"Hiss... your family's test seems to be terrible." Gu Yuan took a breath and asked.
He was not born into any family power, so naturally he did not know how strict these families were towards their younger generations.
"The tests for younger generations within the family are extremely strict. In previous years, our family's casualty rate reached over 10%. This means that one in ten people would be killed or injured, which is already an extremely terrifying probability. But even so, our family has not changed the way we test younger generations. We still stick to this method, and it has been going on for many, many years. Neither the elders nor my father intend to change this method. After all, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is perfect."
No one knew what Gu Ting was thinking, she just calmly explained these things to Gu Yuan.
"Although this can train young people with strong abilities, it will also make your Gu family become completely devoid of humanity, right?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Humanity? Haha, there's no such thing as humanity in a family like the Gu family. It was because of this testing system that my brother died at the hands of a monster. Several of my peers watched helplessly as he died at the hands of a monster and was torn to pieces by it!"
At this point, Gu Ting's eyes suddenly turned red, and she continued, "Those people thought my brother was their match. Because the family didn't have strict rules, and didn't stipulate that one had to save one's own clansmen during the training, those people didn't make a move and just watched my brother being killed by the monster."
"Hiss...this...this is too cold!"
Gu Yuan took a breath. Was this how it was inside a family? He watched one of his own clansmen die at the hands of a monster, and the clan leader's son, and yet he remained indifferent. Was this truly indifferent?
"So now you understand, don't you? I don't care about those empty names at all. What I care about is madly improving my own strength, practicing hard, and surpassing those guys as soon as possible. Only in this way can I have the opportunity to compete for the qualification of the clan leader's successor. Only in this way can I shortcut to success. As long as I become the clan leader, all matters within the family will be in my hands. At that time, the family will not care about so many things. I will take revenge on those who harmed me and my brother one by one!"
Gu Ting said in a low voice with endless hatred in her eyes.
