"Sister, after we humiliated them like this, what will they do...?"
Gu Nan, however, continued to smile and said to Gu Changqing in a nonchalant tone:
“It’s alright, little brother. This is the City Lord’s Mansion of Chaoxia City. The rules set by Father are not ones that these people dare to disobey.”
After saying that, Gu Nan recalled the scene from that night when Gu Nan took her to seek revenge.
Even Gu Nan, who was being protected by Gu Nan, couldn't help but feel lingering fear when he recalled that overwhelming hand.
With that palm strike, the entire city vanished, leaving only the bottomless, endless abyss behind.
Even now, recalling it, Gu Nan still doesn't know why the city lord, who is so powerful, stayed in this small city, and how powerful must the customer of Gu Nan's father be.
However, Lord Gu Nancheng seemed to disregard his son, allowing his relatives and descendants to bully him.
Shaking her head, Gu Nan stopped thinking about things she couldn't understand.
She turned to Gu Changqing and explained what she had seen and heard outside.
After listening to Gu Nan describe how vast and wonderful the outside world was, Gu Changqing couldn't help but ask:
"Sister, can I travel the Heavenly Path Continent like you in the future?"
"Of course, you will become very, very strong in the future. No matter what enemies are outside, they will not be able to defeat you. Your sister will have to rely on you to protect her in the future."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changting nodded heavily.
"Changqing will definitely protect her older sister from now on."
Time passes
After a year of happy times with Gu Changqing, Gu Nan heard words that Gu Changqing didn't want to hear.
Inside the city lord's study, the city lord looked at the two people with bewildered expressions and spoke to them:
"Gu Nan, the elders of the Gu family unanimously agree that you should enter the Luoxia Sect and become a Daoist partner with the direct disciple of Danfeng. After discussing it, the family elders feel that this matter is beneficial to the Gu family. Today, you will go to the Luoxia Sect and go to Luoxia Peak under the ancestor."
Having said that, he waved his hand, and the two of them left.
Upon hearing Gu Nan's words, Gu Changqing was filled with rage. Having never dared to oppose his father since childhood, he now roared at Gu Nan:
"Why should my sister become a Daoist partner with a complete stranger? You can't allow that!"
Gu Nan, standing to the side, was filled with confusion and bewilderment. She didn't know why the city lord had agreed to this, but as the city lord's adopted daughter, she knew that this was all she should do, so she didn't answer.
Seeing that Gu Nan did not answer, Gu Changqing continued loudly:
"Sister, please speak up! You don't want to agree either, right? Let's oppose Father together, he definitely won't let you go! Right, Father!"
Gu Nan gave a bitter smile and didn't say anything.
Gu Nan glanced at Gu Changqing briefly, then said emotionlessly:
"Changqing, you never dared to speak to me like this before. Your courage is commendable, but unfortunately you cannot cultivate. Your courage is nothing but a mirage."
After saying that, it was as if his subordinates came in and pulled Gu Changqing, who was making a big fuss, out of the study.
"Gu Nan, do you hate me?"
Gu Nan looked up at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan, however, forced back her tears and answered in a slightly choked voice:
"I don't hate my father, I'm just afraid that after I leave, my younger brother will suffer..."
"You don't need to worry. With me in Chaoxia City, no one will dare to harm him. You may go now."
After saying that, he ignored Gu Nan and continued to look down at the book that seemed to be endless.
As Gu Nan walked out of the city, tears finally streamed down her face. Even looking at the streets that had brought her and Gu Changqing so much joy in the past, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"But will his life be in danger? If Changqing doesn't have me by his side, will he return to the same situation as before?"
Gu Nan muttered to himself, his eyes vacant, and in this confused state, he staggered out of the city and boarded the ark that was already waiting there to head to the Luoxia Sect.
Gu Changqing, who had been pulled away by the servants, was now alone under the tree where he had met Gu Nan.
He kept punching the tree trunk.
"Ugh, why, why am I so useless? Damn it!"
Gu Changqing roared as he pounded on the tree trunk.
At this moment, the group of people who usually avoided the siblings came over again.
"Hey, Little Flying Dance, where's your good sister? Gone, huh! I'll beat you to a pulp today, Second Master Gu."
The familiar mocking voices, the familiar group of people.
However, upon hearing this sound, Gu Changqing ran straight towards the group, shouting:
"It was you all who ganged up to drive my sister away! I'm going to beat you to death!"
However, having no cultivation, he was beaten and injured by this group of people, and then mocked by them.
After the group left, only Gu Changqing, covered in wounds, lay under the tree where the two had just met.
"Why is Heaven treating me this way? Why can't I cultivate myself? Why? Why is this happening?!"
Gu Changqing dragged his injured body step by step toward his own room, muttering to himself all the while.
As Gu Changqing, covered in wounds, lay on his own large bed, darkness descended.
Filled with anger but with nowhere to vent it, Gu Changqing wept as he lamented the injustice the world had done to him.
Despite being born into such a powerful family, he is unable to cultivate.
He finally found a loving older sister, but she was driven away by those people from his own clan.
