Chapter 41
The Gu Clan was located in a small town a hundred miles away from the Emerald Cloud Sect. It was even closer from the Qilian Mountains.
Half a day later, Gu Shaoyang arrived at the Gu residence.
The moment Gu Shaoyang dismounted from his horse, a servant respectfully came forward to lead the horse and shouted,""Young Master Yang is back."
Gu Shaoyang nodded at him and strode into the Gu residence.
Gu Shaoyang's previous father, Gu Tianhe, was the younger brother of the head of the Gu family. His mother, Xiao Qingzhu, was also the legitimate daughter of another large family. Therefore, Gu Shaoyang's status in the Gu family was not low. This was also the reason why his previous father could go to the Qing-Yun Sect to learn martial arts despite his ordinary background.
The news of Gu Shaoyang's return had already been reported by a servant. Before Gu Shaoyang could reach the door of his own hall, he saw a middle-aged woman running out in surprise.
She hugged him and almost cried tears of joy."Yang 'er, you're finally back."
Gu Shaoyang forced a smile and shouted,""Mother."
A tall and handsome middle-aged man walked out from behind the beautiful woman. He was Gu Shaoyang's father, Gu Tianhe.
Gu Tianhe was still wearing a straight face, but when he saw Gu Shaoyang's cultivation, he exclaimed,""Shaoyang, how did you break through to Element Gathering Tier?!”
"Ah?"
The beautiful woman was so shocked by the good news that she almost couldn't find her way back." Shaoyang has advanced to Element Gathering Tier?!”
Gu Shaoyang nodded and said," I had a fortuitous encounter. My Innate Ability was improved, and my cultivation was smooth sailing. I easily broke through to Element Gathering Tier."”
"Good! Sure!"
Gu Tianhe praised her repeatedly, his face full of surprise.
"When a warrior cultivates, talent and opportunities are indispensable. It's your fortune to have such a fortuitous encounter, so we won't ask any more questions. However, I have to work harder in the future and forge ahead…"
"Understood."
Gu Shaoyang then asked why his family was in such a hurry to find him. Xiao Qingzhu explained embarrassedly,""Your father and I do not know about the progress of your cultivation. Some time ago, we discussed letting you return from the Blue Cloud Sect and get married as soon as possible…"
Gu Shaoyang frowned." Married? To whom?”
"Have you forgotten that before you went to the Qing-Yun Sect, we helped you arrange a marriage with the Liu family of the west of the river?" Xiao Qingzhu asked.
Gu Shaoyang immediately had an impression of Xiao Qingzhu.
His predecessor did seem to have been engaged to someone, a girl called Liu Qian.
They were about the same age as him, but their root bones were better than his. After they got engaged, the Gu family sent them to the Cold Moon Valley to learn martial arts.
Back then, they had agreed to get married immediately when the two of them turned eighteen.
Xiao Qingzhu happily muttered to herself, Now that your aptitude has improved and your cultivation has also increased greatly, that girl Liu Qian will definitely be very happy to see you.”
"Mother, my martial arts cultivation has just improved. I don't want to get married so soon," Gu Shaoyang said.”
Xiao Qingzhu's face immediately turned stern." What are you talking about? Marriage is a serious matter. How can it be child's play?" Moreover, you can continue to cultivate after you get married. Liu Qian has already rushed to our Gu family…"
"She's already here?"
Gu Shaoyang was slightly surprised, but Gu Tianhe snorted and said,""I think Shao Yang's decision was right. I don't like that girl named Liu either. She's only been in the Cold Moon Valley for a few years, but she's changed completely. This time, it doesn't seem like you're here to get married. Instead, it seems like you're here to break off the engagement. You even brought a few men over…I think she has forgotten who sent her up the mountain back then and who was the one who shamelessly insisted on fawning over our Gu family's marriage…"
Xiao Qingzhu glared at Gu Tianhe.”
"Where does that woman live?" Gu Shaoyang shook his head and asked in a low voice.”
" She's staying in the courtyard," Gu Tianhe said." We've heard a lot of gossip because of her." Ling Fei almost fought with her a few times…"
Gu Shaoyang's eyes moved, and a beautiful figure flashed across his mind.
Gu Lingfei…
...
In the Gu family's courtyard.
A woman and three men were sitting at a stone table, drinking tea and chatting.
Three of the men were in the Element Gathering Tier and above, while the pretty woman was in the ninth level of the Qi Refining Tier.
"I heard that Gu Shaoyang has returned. Junior Sister Liu, aren't you going to meet your future husband?”
Someone teased.
The beautiful woman said disdainfully,"Senior Brother Liu, don't joke with me anymore. I've already sent people to inquire about Gu Shaoyang's recent situation last year. It's said that he doesn't even have the cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Refining realm…" How can this trash be my husband?”
"Then who can be Junior Sister Liu's husband?”
Someone continued with a smile.
A hint of shyness flashed across the pretty woman's face. She stole a glance at the handsome young man who had been quietly sipping tea and said meaningfully,"Of course... Of course, only someone like Senior Brother Han Xiao is worthy of me, Liu Qian, to dress him up.”
The two men chuckled and asked.
"Then why did Sister Liu stay here and wait for that trash? We could have gone back to Cold Moon Valley a long time ago.”
Liu Qian frowned slightly and said," After all, I have an engagement with Gu Shaoyang. My family relies on the Gu family in many ways. It's not good to fall out." I plan to have a good talk with him in private, but he will back out. It's best if he takes the initiative to break off the engagement. At most... I'll give him some compensation."
The handsome young man, who had not interrupted the conversation, suddenly said," Junior Sister Liu, this matter doesn't have to be so difficult. Let's openly bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement. I believe the Gu family won't dare to do anything. At most, I'll invite my father over…"
"Yes, yes."
Someone clapped his hands and said," Senior Brother Han is one of the top fifty geniuses in the Cold Moon Valley. His father is an elder of our sect. How can the Gu family afford to offend him?"”
"Senior Brother Han…"
Liu Qian was a little moved. She looked at Han Xiao with eyes full of affection and affection.
The latter's gaze also softened." Junior Sister Liu…"
At this moment, the door of the courtyard was kicked open and someone coldly snorted.
"What a shameless couple!”
