Listening to the fourth uncle's praise, Gu Xiuyun smiled innocently, but he was beating a hundred and eighty drums in his heart!
The two talked for a long time, and he almost explained all the flaws in his body. But depending on what the old man meant, there were more important things to say to him.
"What is the purpose of the fourth uncle calling me here?" Gu Xiuyun was puzzled, but since the old man didn't speak, he could only wait patiently.
"Xiuyun, I am very relieved that you are now a prodigal son, but the debts you owe in the past must always be repaid," the fourth uncle said with a smile, "Not long ago, the Yan family's Su Qing Yatou has won the first place in the Fenglin Club. She has two nominated disciples, and one of them is you. Do you know?"
"I have just returned to the city and haven't heard anyone talk about it yet." Gu Xiuyun's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
"It's okay not to know. In the final analysis, it's just a misunderstanding." The old man nodded, "It's just because of this that Yan knew about your romantic debts, and I don't know where I heard that you There is still an unbearable past with Yan Su Shi."
What is an unbearable past?
Gu Xiuyun's face turned dark when he heard this, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He always felt that his fourth uncle had dug a big hole and was waiting for him to get into it.
"Fourth uncle, in fact, Miss Yan Sushi and I are innocent, nothing happened!" Gu Xiuyun said bravely.
How does he know what stupid things his predecessor did?
But when it comes to the matter, we must not admit it.
"Nothing really happened?" The old man smiled at the corner of his eyes, "But I heard that you were alone in the same room, and Yan Sushi's obscene clothes were torn. Could it be that the weather was too bad? Hot, she tore it open by herself?"
"This beast!"
Gu Xiuyun cursed in his mind that his predecessor was just messing around, but he didn't even let the Yan family's legitimate daughter go. Pass.
"Fourth uncle, although there is a misunderstanding about this matter, it will ultimately damage the honor of the girl's family. I am willing to try my best to compensate."
"My body has been taken care of by you. There is still a storm in the city, how can you compensate me?" The old man took out a pot of tea from nowhere and started drinking it. "Yan has already spoken. If you don't give them a satisfactory answer, we will If you ask the ancestors to come forward, then, let alone you, even I will be unlucky."
"My fourth uncle has said so. I must have made a decision, and I will just follow it." Gu Xiuyun said. His face was helpless.
"Okay, now that you have spoken, you can't go back on your word," the old man laughed, "I have already discussed with Mrs. Yan to choose a good and auspicious day for you to get married."
< p>"What?" Gu Xiuyun jumped up from the futon, "Fourth uncle, are you kidding me? I'm marrying Yan Sushi?""You have ruined my reputation. Who can I marry if I don't marry you?" the old man snorted.
Gu Xiuyun’s face looked uncertain.
How could heMarrying a woman you've never met? What's more, that person hated him very much.
"Fourth uncle, what if I don't want to?"
"You have now turned on the pulse switch. Even if you don't want to, the family will not force you, but you have compromised your integrity. The name of the poem has hurt the reputation of the Yan family, and you have to bear the responsibility yourself." The fourth uncle's eyes turned cold, "According to the clan rules, you must reflect on your mistakes on the altar and not leave for three years. Half a step."
That's it?
Gu Xiuyun blinked.
It’s such a big deal to sit in front of a wall and think about it for three years!
"Fourth uncle, I'd better go face the wall and think about it!" Gu Xiuyun said without hesitation.
"In that case, bring the plate of things to Yan Sushi and solve the sins you have committed yourself." The old man pointed to the jade plate on one side indifferently, "Three feet of white silk, Hedinghong is the same as Yan Su's poems."
"You want her to die?" Gu Xiuyun looked shocked, "What's wrong with her? I'm the one who's wrong."
< p> "The mistake is that she is the direct daughter of the Yan family," the old man said with an indifferent expression, "Since she has become the direct daughter and enjoyed the glory and glory of the direct lineage, she must bear the corresponding responsibilities. As the direct daughter of the Yan family, she lost her Fame is Yan's shame. As long as she lives in this world, Yan will be disgraced.""Gu Xiuyun, you have only two options, either marry her or send her to death. ”
Gu Xiuyun raised his head and looked at his fourth uncle.
At this moment, he realized what an indifferent soul lay behind the appearance of a wealthy family.
Is it wrong for Yan Sushi to let innocent lives die for the sake of the family’s face? Maybe.
The mistake was that she was the Yan family's direct daughter, but her reputation was ruined by Gu Xiuyun.
And Gu Xiuyun's cultivation level is too high and the pulse switch has been turned on. Gu will never let a genius die, so he can only sacrifice Yan Su Shi.
"Yan Sushi has lost her reputation. If I can't marry you, I will have no choice but to die. After she dies, Yan will build a chastity memorial arch for her, and this matter will be over." The old man said softly, "It's strange that as a legitimate daughter, she doesn't have the ability to speak plain words and can enlighten her spiritual veins. Compared with Yan's face, what is a mere mortal?"
The fourth uncle's words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Gu Xiuyun's heart.
Gu Xiuyun would not care if a stranger died, but Yan Sushi died because of herself. What was wrong with her?
Even if there is a mistake, the one who is wrong is Gu Xiuyun’s predecessor.
"I thought that after becoming a practitioner, I would be able to control my life, but it turns out that I still can't help myself after all." Gu Xiuyun felt a little bitter in his heart. At this moment, he felt the taste of his previous life again.
"Gu Xiuyun, let alone you, even I can't help myself sometimes," the old man smiled sadly, "If you don't want to be someone else's abandoned child, you must continue to strengthen yourself."
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle, for the tip." Gu Xiuyun took a deep breath.With a sigh, he turned around and walked towards the quiet room.
"Don't you want the jade plate?"
"Hedinghong is too bitter, but the combined wine is better."
Gu Xiuyun walked away.
......
Half a day later, explosive news spread like snowflakes across the entire Youning City.
"Have you heard that Gu Xiuyun has turned on the pulse switch? It is said that he has condensed the purple spirit veins. The so-called two-color veins are simply fake news released by the Gu family."
"What do you mean? I also heard that Gu Xiuyun was favored by the elders of the Yan clan and wanted to marry his legitimate daughter Yan Sushi."
"Who is Yan Sushi?"
"I don't even know that, but she is the legitimate daughter of the Yan family. Although she is delicate and frail and cannot practice cultivation, her status is there. If she marries Yan Sushi, Gu Xiuyun will have the support of two major families behind her. In the future, the entire Chu He has a place in all the eight cities in the county."
There are various opinions in the city, and many of them are news deliberately released by the Gu family.
A few days later, the entire North City was decorated in red and green, with lanterns and colorful decorations. Even the main courtyards and courtyards were covered with wedding couplets.
"What a big battle," Gu Xiuyun walked through the corridor and walked towards the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda, "Fourth uncle did this to give Yan family enough face. I think on the day of the wedding, You Ningcheng will meet It's even more lively."
"It's just a pity that Miss Yan's life is completely ruined!"
Gu Xiuyun sighed.
He understood that Yan Sushi and himself were both victims of this marriage, and the purpose was just for Yan's face. As for Gu Xiuyun, as a cultivator of Kai Mao Realm, he will live a long life in the future. Even if he marries three or four wives, no one would dare to say anything nonsense.
Yan Su Shi, but he can only live alone in the depths of the courtyard.
