Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Making this decision was not easy for him, and he felt a great deal of discomfort.
But for the sake of the Gu family, he had no choice but to make this decision.
Just as Gu Qingluan had said, the Patriarch of the Gu family could be easily replaced.
While losing a Saint was regrettable, what else could be done? The prosperity of the Gu family was of utmost importance.
Fortunately, he had already beco a Saint and had another two hundred years to live. With him around, the Gu family wouldn’t decline.
He would strive harder, and perhaps he could have another outstanding son.
He believed that the bloodline of the Gu family was exceptional, as evidenced by the many Saints in their lineage.
His thoughts raced as he contemplated many things.
Though Gu Zhicheng didn’t know what his father was thinking, he was acutely aware that he had beco a discarded son, abandoned by his own biological father.
Gu Zhicheng had never imagined that he would one day fall to this extent.
With his cultivation, he was revered wherever he went.
Wasn’t it just because he hard a woman? Why should he be stripped of his cultivation?
He would never sit idly by!
Gu Zhicheng’s expression twisted, and suddenly he exerted force, attempting to escape.
Gu Hongkang feigned surprise for a mont, then quickly gave chase.
In the split second of distraction, it was enough for Gu Zhicheng to put so distance between them.
In truth, where could he bear to have his son rendered powerless?
Gu Qingluan saw through his intentions but gave a cold laugh and flicked her finger. A silver needle shot toward Gu Zhicheng.
Before Gu Zhicheng could fly out of the hall, he ran into an invisible barrier. His body stuttered briefly, and then the silver needle entered his body. He was thrown back into the center of the hail.
Gu Qingluan looked at Feng Tianlan in astonishnt.
The barrier that could stop Gu Zhicheng could only have been created by Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan returned her gaze in silence.
Gu Qingluan moved her lips slightly and silently thanked him.
Then, she turned to Gu Hongkang and said, “Old Master, go ahead.”
Gu Hongkang watched his fallen son, and the muscles on his old face twitched incessantly.
“Dad, no! I don’t want to beco useless!” Gu Zhicheng tried to get up, but his entire body felt numb and stiff for so unknown reason. He couldn’t move. The thought of losing his cultivation soon overwheld him, and he didn’t care about the onlookers. He cried and begged.
Gu Hongkang’s hands trembled, and his cloudy eyes glistened with tears.
“Zhicheng, as I’ve told you before, when a person makes a mistake and can’t escape the consequences, they must bear the responsibility. You’ve hard soone, and just being able to keep your life is a blessing. Losing your cultivation will be painful, but once you adapt, it will be fine. You’re still a mber of the Gu family, my son. The Gu family won’t lack food for you. Compared to many in this world, you’re still fortunate. Family honor is above all else. For the sake of the Gu family, endure this.”
He reached out his trembling right hand, and a surge of arcane power landed on Gu Zhicheng.
Gu Zhicheng couldn’t evade it and had to endure the attack.
He let out a wretched cry, filled with regret in his eyes.
As his cultivation was stripped away, the pain overwheld him, and he passed out.
The hall fell into a silent stillness.
No one had expected that Old Master Gu would personally strip Gu Zhicheng of his cultivation.
Gu Zhicheng was a Saint!
There were only a few in the entire Chengyuan Kingdom.
In the past, the Crown Prince would have undoubtedly tried to stop Gu Qingluan.
But this ti, he knew he couldn’t intervene.
Between Gu Zhicheng and Gu Qingluan, he naturally chose Gu Qingluan.
As he watched Gu Zhicheng being stripped of his cultivation, he let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan remained calm, and her thoughts were inscrutable.
Gu Hongkang also looked at her and said, “Is this debt settled now?”
