Chapter 256 Don’t mention it again
Gu Mutian didn't know how to answer. If he said he knew, then everything the head of the Gu family said from then on would be like nonsense. If he said he didn't know, he would be acting against the head of the family's orders.
Neither of these two situations is what I want to see.
But Gu Liyue is his biological daughter, and this is an unchangeable fact.
He could only ask: "Liyue, do you really want to go against the ethics of the world and deny your father?"
Gu Liyue looked at him and said, "Who was it that agreed to sever the relationship and even crossed my name out of the family tree? Didn't you go against the moral code and refuse to acknowledge your own daughter? Now that Gu Yaoyao, the one you were so optimistic about, is gone, you're coming to find me, right?"
Gu Mutian's face froze, thinking of Gu Yaoyao's death, the Third Prince could no longer practice, the marriage between the Gu family and the royal family was also cancelled, and the Gu family even suffered the wrath of the royal family. Now the Gu family's status in Donglin City has plummeted.
Gu Liyue entered Qingxuan Academy. This time, he heard that she even had a spirit boat, and she must be living well in Qingxuan Academy, so he came to find her.
If the Gu family can get into Qingxuan Academy, they will have no worries about not being able to gain a foothold in Donglin City. At that time, it will be easy for them to squeeze into the aristocratic families in Donglin City again, and the royal family will not dare to suppress the Gu family like this.
He softened his attitude and walked forward, wanting to hold Gu Liyue's hand. When Gu Liyue saw him step forward and stretch out his hand, she lightly avoided it.
Gu Mutian was stunned. Didn't she always want his attention before? Why was she avoiding him like a snake and scorpion now, and dodging him so easily?
He looked at her with a hurt expression and said, "Liyue, I am your biological father. Can't you forgive me?"
Xuanhuo sneered. He knew that Gu Liyue could handle it, so he stood by and watched the fun.
At this time, everyone around me was pointing and talking.
"The father has already humbled himself, but this girl still refuses to acknowledge her biological father?"
"Yes, filial piety is what Donglin Kingdom values most."
"We all make mistakes, but being able to admit them and correct them is the greatest virtue. We should give people a chance to mend their ways."
Gu Mutian listened to the discussions of the people around him, his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes lit up. He was sure that he would be able to recognize Gu Liyue this time.
Who knew what he heard next would make his face turn black.
"This father can do this, maybe what he wants is not low!"
"Yes, I heard that because of Miss Gu Er, this guy ignored Miss Gu Da and allowed others to bully her. Miss Gu was almost tortured to death, so she reluctantly broke off the relationship with the Gu family."
"I heard about it too. It was during the Qingxuan Academy's enrollment period. I heard that the marriage was severed in the presence of the chief disciple of the academy's great elder."
"Back then, Miss Gu entered Qingxuan College with impressive grades, but the second young lady died, and the Gu family fell into decline. Now they're trying to cling to Miss Gu to gain a foothold."
"Hearing what you said, the Gu family is really shameless. They agreed to go their separate ways, but now they want to recognize each other."
…
Gu Liyue said to Gu Mutian, "Do you still remember what I said when we first broke off our relationship?"
Gu Mutian recalled what Gu Liyue said at that time. She said that the Gu family could not give her the warmth of her home.
"Go back with your father. The Gu family will treat you well in the future. They will definitely give you the warmth of home."
Then he heard her say, "Master Gu, please go back. I'm just a guest at the Wen Mansion. Don't bring trouble to the Wen Mansion here. As for the breakup of the engagement, it's a done deal. Don't mention it anymore. No matter what you say, I won't change my mind."
Gu Mutian was stunned by the determined expression on her face. He had originally thought that if he could just claim her as his biological father, he would be able to recognize her, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn now.
What will happen to the Gu family if they fail to recognize Gu Liyue?
Gu Liyue ignored him and walked straight into the Wen Mansion with Xuanhuo.
As soon as I walked into the mansion, I saw Aunt Yu coming out: "Liyue, are you okay? I just heard that Gu Mutian is here."
Gu Liyue smiled and said, "What can happen to me? Since I have severed my relationship with the Gu family, I will never recognize them again."
Aunt Yu whispered, "But he is your father after all."
"He only gave birth to me, but never took care of me. He even allowed others to bully me. I no longer consider him my father."
Aunt Yu looked at Gu Liyue's calm expression and felt sad. Yes! Anyone who was treated like that would be disheartened!
She walked closer to Gu Liyue and hugged her tightly: "You will still have me and your mother in the future."
Gu Liyue patted Aunt Yu on the back and said, "Yes, I still have my friends! And my teachers. Now I just hope that the Gu family will stop bothering me, and I also hope that the matter with Donglin Kingdom can be settled quickly so that I can leave this annoying place."
Gu Mutian's arrival still made Gu Liyue feel irritated. She had a feeling that this matter would not be so easy to resolve and might have to drag on for a few more times. She couldn't think of any way to stop them from doing so.
Well, let’s wait and see what they do next time, and then we’ll have to fight them back!
After thinking about this, she let go of Aunt Yu and planned to return to the guest house.
Xuanhuo noticed Gu Liyue's impatience. He stepped forward and said, "Liyue, don't worry. I'm here for you! I'll use force to intimidate you if necessary."
Gu Liyue smiled and said, "That's right. Let's go back and rest! We'll go to Linfeng City tomorrow to help Qiao Zhiwen deliver the letter."
The three of them returned to the guest house, and Gu Liyue said to Aunt Yu, "I'm going to practice, and Aunt Yu also needs to improve her cultivation and strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible."
Xuanhuo told her that Aunt Yu's cultivation was still at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core. In fact, it was not easy for ordinary cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Aunt Yu nodded.
After Gu Liyue entered the room, she activated the formation disk and entered the space.
She started her previous training mode in the space, practicing, refining medicine, drawing talismans and practicing sword.
The next morning, Gu Liyue took Xuanhuo to Linfeng City, delivered Qiao Zhiwen's letter home, and also accepted the Qiankun bag that City Lord Qiao wanted to give to Qiao Zhiwen.
When they returned to Donglin City, it was already dark. When they returned to the guest house, they saw Aunt Yu waiting for them in the yard.
When Aunt Yu saw them coming back, she said, "Liyue, Xuanhuo, come, sit for a while and have some refreshments."
Gu Liyue said: "Okay, what happened today?"
Aunt Yu said helplessly: "The Gu family came to make trouble again today, and the scene was quite big."
Aunt Yu talked about what happened in front of the Wen Mansion today.
Not long after Gu Liyue and the others left, the third elder of the Gu family appeared at the gate of the Wen Mansion, saying that he came to apologize to Gu Liyue and brought gifts.
The guard at the gate told Elder Gu San: "Miss Gu went out on business early this morning and is not at the mansion."
The third elder said, "Then put away our apology first."
The guards stood at the gate of Wen's mansion every day and were used to seeing people bringing gifts. They also knew that any gifts should not be accepted casually. They had to return them to the owner and let the owner make the final decision.
Besides, the recipient of the gift was not the master of the Wen Mansion, but a guest, so he dared not accept it.
