"So, all these years he's been away from home, isn't that because he's not doing anything productive?"
"..."
"..."
While opinions varied outside the courtyard, inside...
Old Yuan once again stood in the open space in the middle, waiting to die.
only.
After standing still, Old Yuan looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "?!"
His expression, however, was somewhat blank.
Where are the clouds?
Just a moment ago, the clouds were dark and heavy, like they were about to press down.
How could it be gone in the blink of an eye?
Old Yuan: "!!!"
I was completely dumbfounded when I saw the few clouds rising in the sky.
"no!"
He asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where's the promised lightning strike? Where's the lightning? Where are the clouds?"
"I'm all ready to die, God, you can't be playing a trick on me!"
These words were spoken.
The people present: "!!!"
He looked up at the sky, which had cleared up and the sun was shining, and his expression was also somewhat blank.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What happened?"
"Old Yuan's plan failed? He failed to avert disaster?"
"If Old Yuan's ritual fails, and he fails to avert the calamity, then what will happen to Old Gu...?"
"..."
As they spoke, everyone turned their heads and looked worriedly at Gu Guanhai, who was slowly walking over.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Gu Guanhai looked at Lao Yuan, his brows furrowing slightly.
“Life and death are preordained. I tried to stop him long ago, but he insisted on going his own way.”
He said in a deep voice, “If his plan fails, and the calamity that is mine will return to me, I will accept it. There is no need for you to panic so much!”
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed: "!!!"
His face instantly turned extremely ugly.
They were certainly saddened and grieved by Old Yuan's sacrifice, but...
They can still withstand it.
But Old Gu...
They can't afford to make that sacrifice!
This is also why Lao Yuan chose to take the blame for Lao Gu.
That's why they all traveled thousands of miles to get here!
They came to see Old Yuan off on his final journey, firstly to fulfill their decades-long friendship with him, and secondly out of a sense of righteousness on the part of the nursing home. If things went wrong and the calamity returned to Old Gu, then…
Li Mingzhi was the first to lose his temper, and shouted angrily at Lao Yuan: "Lao Yuan! This is no joke!"
Seeing this, Jiang Guosheng and the others anxiously echoed their agreement:
"That's right! This is no joke!"
"Xia Kingdom can't do without Lao Gu. If you can't handle it, then I'll take your place!"
“Take my place! I’ve killed at least a thousand, if not eight hundred. I may not be as distinguished as Old Gu, but I’m not far behind. I can definitely help him take the fall!”
“My turn! Look how presentable I am, I came here just in case!”
"..."
As everyone frantically tried to find and correct any oversights, Mei Fang and the other two exclaimed, "!!!"
He looked nervously at Lao Yuan and subconsciously took a step forward.
"what is going on?"
Mei Fang stroked her lower abdomen and said with a solemn expression, "You know very well that Old Gu can't get hurt! If you can't handle it, then we'll take your place!"
"Among so many of us, surely one of us can take the fall for Old Gu!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Bai Ji nodded repeatedly, "That's right!"
She leaned closer to Lao Yuan and whispered with a solemn expression, "Lao Gu not only controls the underground transactions in the mainland, but also oversees Xia Guo's external secrets. If anything happens to him, Lao Yuan, you will be held responsible!"
"What exactly happened? Explain yourself!"
"If something goes wrong, we'll quickly come up with a solution. After all, Old Gu absolutely cannot be allowed to get hurt!"
No wonder Bai Ji was so nervous.
The Bai family was once a prominent family in Hong Kong, but because they helped the mainland, they were wiped out.
