”Foster Father! What happened to you?” Gu Du Xing cried out in alar, you ca sigh, and opened his arotten so worried when you ran away I sent a group of people to find you, but they could bring no news related to you Where have you been all this ti there since,” Gu Du Xing lowered his head as he replied with hesitation

”I know… I know that you've been suffering But…” Gu Yun Lan's soul-less eyes looked at the trees on both sides as he said, ”Your Sister Xiao Miao's ed our clan's interests The consequences were very serious You must understand”

”I understand… I'll rush to the Sword Emperor's level very soon Then, I'll save Sister Xiao Miao,” Gu Du Xing declared firmly

”Sword Emperor?!” Gu Yun Lan's body shook as he turned his head, and looked at Gu Du Xing He carefully observed his adopted son whoarded as extremely important He couldn't help but be surprised, ”You, you have you beco a cold and acute sharpness; it was si unsheathed In fact, it was impossible for an ordinary person to stand before him, and endure this acute sharpness

This was a unique feature of a swords replied in a calrade as a Sword Great Master?” Gu Yun Lan hurriedly asked

”I' replied ”I'm now a Fourth Grade Revered Sword Artist… at the peak! I should be breaking through to the Fifth Grade Revered Sword Artist within half-a-month”

”Ss!” Gu Yun Lan sucked in a breath of cold air

[It has been less than a year since Gu Du Xing left horade Sword Great Master when he left, wasn't he? So, he has leapt through ten grades in a matter of a few months!]

[This how is this possible?]

”You how did you e to do that? Which Heavenly treasure did you consume?” Gu Yun Lan asked [There is no explanation for this… other than a fateful coincidence involving hi some kind of 'World Spiritual Item' His cultivation ested its medicinal efficacy]

[But, such fateful encounters only exist in legends Could it truly have happened to Gu Du Xing?]

”I haven't consumed any Heavenly treasure Instead, I met an exceptionally talented person, and trained under hi by leaps and bounds,” Gu Du Xing replied insipidly

”So, it was by your own talent and hard work… But, enhancing one's cultivation by ten grades in just a few months… is simply beyond anyone's expectations,” Gu Yun Lan exclairatified smile appeared on his face as he said, ”It seems that the Heaven has decided to shower mercy on my pitiful self My Gu Clan will not perish after all”

”Du Xing, youon your support from now on” Gu Yun Lan continued, ”The funerals of your brothers have only ended a few days ago… ”

Gu Du Xing hesitated for a while He then stated in a resolute manner, ”Foster Father, actually… I already know about Gu Yan Yang and Gu Yan Yue's deaths”

”You know about Gu Yan Yang and Gu Yan Yue's deaths,” Gu Yun Lan whispered to hi the saain It seemed as if he couldn't believe his own ears He finally turned his head as his hawk-like gaze landed on Gu Du Xing, ”You already know about their deaths?”

”Yes,” Gu Du Xing replied in a heavy tone

”How come you know about that?” Gu Yun Lan's voice had turned icy-cold

”I obtained the news shortly after they had been killed,” Gu Du Xing found it difficult to reply

”So, you weren't the one to kill them, correct?” Gu Yun Lan let out a breath of relief ”It's fine as long as it wasn't you… ”

”The fact that I didn't kill them… doesn't detach me from their deaths… as it wassaid in one breath ”He killed the about it until after it had happened But, I still didn't wish to keep Foster Father in the dark”

”Your brother?!” Gu Yun Lan's voice seeht when they brought your brothers' corpses — Xie Clan's Xie Dan Qiong wasn't fa star So, how could he have dared to kill your brothers? Things shouldn't have escalated enough to cause such a tragedy even if they'd had disputes in the past But, I see now… The truth is entirely different from my speculation”

”Who is your brother?” Gu Yun Lan asked in a deep voice

”I can't tell you,” Gu Du Xing's facial expression re to shoulder all the responsibilities; no ht here and right now if he feels wronged in his heart I would rather choose to die than to betray my brother”

”Good! I adhter ”Du Xing, do you think that you're all grown-up and ready to spread your wings? Do you think that you've nothing to fear because your brothers are out of the picture, and you're the only one left to inherit the Clan Lord's position?”

”Foster Father, please believelowered his head and said But then, he looked-up, and added fearlessly, ”I've always believed that a real s done can't be undone It doesn't ret later on Therefore, I'll undertake all the responsibilities

”A personinvolved in the way of my sword… That has always been my code of conduct You would've never found out if I had intended to hide the truth from you There is no evidence to prove what happened In fact, even Xie Dan Qiong wouldn't have been able to find evidence of his innocence

”But, I must say that I chose to be honest with you because I didn't wish to deceive you,” Gu Du Xing declared ”Who will assume the responsibility for my brother's actions… if I don't?

”I'll have no coardless of your decision But, I would happily choose to die over selling 's forceful voice was backed by a firm and resolute look in his eyes
