Chapter 650: So Passionate and Sincerely Devoted!
Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
Someone had once said that Gu Clan's strongest point was their unity . . . That's because the Gu Clan would've perhaps ceased to exist long ago if it wasn't so . . .
Therefore, the strength of such a united clan was bound to erupt once it had a strong leader . This point was something that no one would argue against .
A fist alone can at most smash-open a pit in a vast desert spanning tens of thousands of miles . However, even enemies as vast as a desert would only be like loose-sand once several fists are clenched together!
This was the strength of the Gu Clan!
A King Expert laughed as he jokingly said, "It seems like all of us should thank our Young Miss . After all, our Young Clan Lord wouldn't have had the motivation to go all out if she hadn't been imprisoned in the Dragon Prison Cave . He has jumped from Martial Great Master to Sword Emperor… He's the only one in the history of Nine Heavens who has pulled off something like this . "
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this remark .
However, Gu Du Xing's complexion slowly turned cold when he heard this sentence… It gradually turned as cold as ice . The most unacceptable thing for him was Gu Miao Ling's time in the Dragon Prison Cave .
He couldn't even accept a joke on this matter .
Gu Du Xing's gaze looked cold as he slowly said, "I don't want anyone to mention this matter again . Also, Dragon Prison Cave must be destroyed! Whoever dares to mention it again mustn't blame me – Gu Du Xing – for being disrespectful . "
A chilling sword-energy suddenly filled the entire hall along with a whizzing sound as soon as Gu Du Xing got angry . That King Expert who had spoken the sentence trembled in his heart, and his complexion became deathly pale .
Gu Du Xing knew that this King Expert was only joking, and had no evil intentions . So, he took a deep breath, and suppressed the wrath in his heart . Then, he insipidly said, "Actually . . . I would've done anything for her… I would've gone begging if I had to . I just didn't want Sister Xiao Miao to suffer for all those years… In fact, I – Gu Du Xing – won't hesitate to destroy my cultivation… if I can erase all those painful experiences from Sister Xiao Miao's life at the cost of my Sword Emperor cultivation . "
He gently looked around . Then, he sincerely bowed, and said, "So . . . I don't want to hear this again . I hope everyone will respect my decision . "
Gu Du Xing had said these words in an extremely impolite manner . However, everyone still felt a profound respect for him .
There had been countless heroes through the ages . But, who had been willing to make such a sacrifice for their woman? In fact, very few would even bother to mention it as lip service . After all, the status of women in the Nine Heavens was very low .
However, everyone was convinced that Gu Du Xing would do it without any hesitation whatsoever when they heard him say this .
He had broken through to the Sword Emperor Level within two years for Gu Miao Ling . So, he could very well cripple himself for her in a flash!
…as long as Gu Miao Ling would require it!
Everyone knew how much pain and sacrifices Gu Du Xing must've endured to break through to the Sword Emperor Level within two years . That must've felt like suffering the death of a thousand cuts every single day for two years!
Gu Du Xing had still managed to accomplish this feat . He hadn't said it out loud . However, everyone here was an expert… All of them were familiar with that hellish feeling .
Therefore, no one was suspecting that his words weren't sincere!
[This cold-faced boy is ever-ready to set the entire world on fire for the passion in his heart . He won't regret it even if he himself burns in the process!]
[He can do it!]
Gu Yun Lan's eyes lit up . He felt gratified in his heart, [These words of Gu Du Xing are alone enough to show that I haven't entrusted my daughter's lifelong happiness to the wrong person . I can finally rest assured now . ]
Therefore, that uneasy feeling in Gu Yun Lan's heart completely vanished .
After all, Gu Miao Ling was his own daughter . Parents get anxious when a daughter grows up, and is about to get married . Moreover, they are reluctant to part with her, and become double minded at that time .
Gu Yun Lan hadn't been able to shake off that sense of worry and unwillingness even if the son-in-law was his own foster son . This was a kind of mentality that was very strange . Moreover, it was extremely contradictory for a father .
[I want my daughter to be happy . I wish for her to start her new life as soon as possible . But, I don't want my daughter to get married…]
However, Gu Yun Lan became overwhelmed with emotion when he heard Gu Du Xing's words . He turned his head about, and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes when no one was paying attention . Then, he silently said, "Dear wife . . . Our sons are gone, but our daughter can obtain the greatest happiness a woman can get…
"Moreover, our son-in-law is a strange man who is very affectionate and righteous . He may be our foster son, but he's just like our own son . There's no difference . . . So, you can rest assured . Wait for me to go back tonight… I'll have a proper chat and a proper drink with you . The netherworld keeps us apart, but I know that you can still hear me…
"I still remember how you had firmly clutched my hand when you were dying . You hadn't been able to utter even a single word . But, I know that you had been worried for us . I know… I hope that you would chide our sons in the afterlife . Don't let them become that sort of hedonistic sons of rich parents like they were while they were alive . . . "
Gu Yun Lan wiped his eyes . Then, he turned around, and looked at Gu Du Xing with a smile on his face . He felt the joyful atmosphere in the hall, and said in his heart, [My dear wife… how wonderful would it be… if you were by my side at this moment! I wouldn't have any regrets in my life anymore…]
[I remember that you would always be angry and jealous when you were alive . . . But, you know… I haven't looked at any woman again since you've passed away . I spend my sleepless nights alone . The dream finally comes at midnight when I'm drinking with you in front of your portrait . . . ]
[I miss you so much . . . ]
[I can also achieve the level of devotion that Du Xing has for our Miao Ling! Can you feel it?]
Gu Yun Lan quietly walked out of the hall amidst the jubilant atmosphere, and went away . The loud and happy laughter behind him gradually got farther and farther away… until it couldn't be heard anymore . . .
Not long after… inside Gu Yun Lan's bedroom…
