However, Gu Beiyuan really hadn't thought of this, or rather, he had thought of it, but he couldn't care less about it anymore.
Checking on Gu Yueming's well-being and preventing her from returning to the ancient martial arts world were tasks assigned by Gu Dongyuan and things he wanted to do. As for dying together with Gu Zhongyuan, that was an idea that had been subtly rising in his mind since he suggested coming along.
It wasn't just for Gu Yueming, but also for Gu Yueming's older brother, Gu Yanping.
Although Gu Yueming and Gu Dongyuan both met with misfortune, and Gu Yanping was also persecuted and oppressed by the third brother's side, he still managed to survive in the cracks thanks to his extraordinary wisdom and outstanding talent for cultivation.
After several years of recuperation, he has regained his footing in the Gu family and remains one of the heirs favored by the clan elders.
However, the crisis still exists.
Gu Xiyuan could not possibly stand by and watch him inherit the Gu family business.
Gu Zhongyuan, as Gu Xiyuan's younger brother, was Gu Xiyuan's most important right-hand man. The reason he took the initiative to come along this time was to find an opportunity to get rid of Gu Zhongyuan so as to relieve the pressure on Gu Yanping.
However, they overlooked what Gu Yueming's feelings would be after witnessing his self-destruction, and what decision she would make.
Gu Beiyuan met Gu Yueming's tearful eyes, and a wave of guilt washed over him: "I'm sorry, Fourth Uncle acted impulsively."
Gu Yueming nodded emphatically: "It's good that Fourth Uncle knows he was wrong. There can't be a next time!"
Gu Beiyuan: "..."
That's true, but why does it feel like a script shouldn't be like this under normal circumstances?
Xiao Ming seems to be a little different.
Um.
They're becoming more and more honest.
Gu Beiyuan couldn't help but glance at Qin Sheng next to her, and couldn't help but think: They really are mother and daughter. Not only do they look alike, but their straightforward personalities are exactly the same.
Qin Sheng felt that she had been tactful enough.
If it weren't for the fact that the other person was her mother's fourth uncle, and that he seemed genuinely fond of her mother, she might have kicked him over first.
This kind of self-sacrifice, which they think is noble, is incredibly foolish.
Who would care?
A dark glint seemed to flicker in her cool eyes. Qin Sheng lowered her gaze, concealing the restlessness that was rising uncontrollably within them.
After a moment, he looked up and asked, "Can I go out now?"
Gu Yueming was taken aback: "Where to?"
Qin Sheng glanced at her sideways: "Going on a spring outing."
Gu Yueming: T^T.
Where can we go for a spring outing in the dead of winter?
After complaining for a while, she realized what she had done and her expression changed instantly: "No, I can go by myself. You, your dad, and your brother stay at home and wait for me to come back!"
The tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Qin Sheng felt that it would be too difficult and too much effort to persuade her in her current state.
So he raised his arm and delivered a karate chop to the back of Gu Yueming's neck, and Gu Yueming's body immediately went limp and collapsed.
However, it didn't land before Qin Sheng caught it in time.
After thinking for a moment, he picked the person up horizontally and repeated, "Let's go."
Everyone: "???"
Qin Zheng, in particular, was filled with questions and couldn't help but look at his daughter.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Then Qin Sheng understood.
He stepped forward and handed his mother, whom he was holding, over.
Qin Zheng reached out and took it, then hesitated as he looked at his daughter: "Thank you?"
Qin Sheng: "...You're welcome?"
Then the family of three... oh, it was a family of four. Before leaving, Qin Sheng went back into the house and took Qin Zhao with her.
The family of four followed Gu Zhongyuan and his two companions, who all looked like they were in a fantasy world, and left the Qin family, heading towards the ancient martial arts world.
Qin Sheng explained to Qin Zhao in a low voice, "Go to my mother's hometown. The spiritual energy there is much richer than outside, making it a good place for cultivation."
She glanced at him and said, "You have good talent, but the spiritual energy in the outside world is too thin, and your body is weak, so you haven't cultivated properly. Although you've passed the best age for cultivation, it will still be beneficial for you to stay there for a while."
At least we can make up for the losses we suffered before, and our health will improve.
During this time, Qin Zhao learned about spiritual power and cultivation, things that he previously thought only existed in novels, and he also learned that he himself was a spiritual power cultivator.
Therefore, he was not surprised to hear Qin Sheng say these things, and instead nodded solemnly: "I understand."
Qin Sheng hummed in agreement and continued walking with Gu Zhongyuan and the others.
*
Although Gu Zhongyuan and the others were martial artists, the distance between Tiandu and Kunlun Mountain was too far. If they were to walk or run, it would probably take a week to get there.
That would take too much time.
So they ended up hitching a ride on the helicopter that Qin Sheng had borrowed from Fu Jingheng in advance.
After a journey of more than five hours, the helicopter landed over the Kunlun Mountains.
Gu Zhongyuan's eyes flashed, and he grabbed Gu Changyu and jumped down.
Then, finding a good angle and a good position, he looked at Qin Sheng and the others who were still on the plane with a half-smile.
The Kunlun Mountains are covered with extremely tall trees, making it difficult for people to walk, let alone find a place for an airplane to land.
With his strength, it would be quite easy for him to carry Gu Changyu to jump several tens of meters high, but Qin Sheng and his group had a total of five people.
They were all elderly, weak, sick, or disabled. The only able-bodied person, Qin Zheng, was just an ordinary person who could only rely on Qin Sheng.
He wanted to see how they would get down without his help.
Gu Zhongyuan was eagerly waiting to see the show, while Qin Sheng looked at him as if he were a fool.
He turned around and took a rope ladder from the helicopter's hangar and lowered it down.
He said to Qin Zheng, Gu Yueming, and Qin Zhao, "I'll take my fourth grandfather down first, and you can climb down slowly."
After saying that, he grabbed Gu Beiyuan and jumped down, landing steadily on the ground in no time.
Qin Zheng and the other two lined up and steadily climbed down the rope ladder.
Gu Zhongyuan: "..."
These modern tools are so annoying!
Having failed to intimidate Gu Zhongyuan, Gu Zhongyuan dejectedly led the way forward.
They didn't cause any more trouble and successfully entered the realm, only to be stopped by the guards.
It just so happens to be the same guard who was on the day Gu Zhongyuan and his group crossed the border.
Seeing that there were several more people behind Gu Zhongyuan than when he left, Gu Zhongyuan frowned slightly.
Although the ancient martial arts world does not strictly restrict the entry of outsiders, it is still quite rare to bring so many people in at once.
The guard couldn't help but ask a couple more questions.
Gu Zhongyuan was also aware of this custom, so he quickly explained, "This is our Gu family's eldest aunt. She has been married to someone outside the family for over twenty years. She heard that my eldest brother was injured and critically ill, and she was very anxious, so she brought her husband and children back to see my father."
The eldest aunt of the Gu family?
The guard's brow twitched as he recalled some well-known stories from the ancient martial arts world, and he couldn't help but look in Gu Yueming's direction.
But when he saw another girl beside him, his gaze paused slightly, and his hand gripping the weapon tightened unconsciously.
