1208 Extreme Contradiction! (1/2)
With the sharpness of a woman's instinct, it'd really be weird if she didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Han! But the most remarkable thing was that this lady never requested anything, hiding it in her heart, fearing that it would destroy this beautiful marriage if she brought it up.
To be able to spend some years with the person she loves deeply, she was already content, with no other requests…
Her only worry was her own daughter…
Perhaps, it was this devoted love and forgiving understanding that left Gu Han in such great agony until now…
Extreme about love, feelings, and matters of the heart… this intentional act left him in unforgettable agony for thousands of years! Especially when there was Qiao Ying, who constantly reminded him about it…
”I had wanted to entrust Ying'er to a trustworthy relative, for her to live an ordinary but sufficient life. But I found out that she has the All Seeing Eye!”
Gu Han let out a trembling sigh and remained silent for a while. ”The War for Seizing the Heavens back then, the stealth techniques of the strange races had caused us unimaginable deaths and losses! So I… so I…”
”So you brought your own daughter into Mount Heaven Saint, and using the responsibility of 'the sake of the world' and imprisoned your own daughter for thousands of years, and because of this, ruined her lifelong happiness! What a great father!” Jun Mo Xie said coldly.
To be honest, Jun Mo Xie also couldn't help but let out a sincere sigh. How many sacrifices did these people from the three Holy Lands make for the War for Seizing the Heavens? They definitely did not just sacrifice their own lives—they sacrificed their kinships, friendships, relationships, and everything!
Are they fools? Are they stupid? Are they noble? Are they worthy of admiration? Or worthy of being spit on and cursed at?
At this moment, Jun Mo Xie only felt very confused. He could criticize Gu Han as a father, condemn him for being a heartless lover, but Jun Mo Xie couldn't find a suitable reason to scold him for everything else!
He really didn't know how he should judge this sort of spirit! Should he praise him or condemn him…
Looking at Gu Han before him, Jun Mo Xie really didn't know how he should see him. Should I admire him? Or look down on him? Scold him? Or praise him?
Those who were pitiful must have something to be despised. This statement was extremely true!
He was truly the first person who was able to make Jun Mo Xie to feel this conflicted throughout both his livetimes!
Jun Mo Xie despised him to the extreme and looked down on him in disdain. But he also secretly admired and revered him! If he was in Gu Han's position, Jun Mo Xie didn't know if he would be able to make such a great sacrifice!
Even if he really made the world his responsibility, he couldn't! Even though he was not as heartless as Gu Han, he was also not as compassionate as Gu Han. But Gu Han's heartlessness was to his own family. His compassion was to the rest of the world.
And Jun Mo Xie was the complete opposite of him!
Gu Han was vicious and merciless. He truly thought about the world, the welfare of the common people! Speaking of his benevolence, yet having to watch his wife pass on and nurture his own daughter into a weapon for the War for Seizing the Heavens with his own hands!
He was sincere to the world, his ideals and honor, but he was truly vicious and heartless to his own kin!
If it were you, how would you judge this person?
”I guess… since Qiao Ying followed her mother's surname, she probably doesn't know about her birth? And that she has such a great father!” Jun Mo Xie asked coldly. With Qiao Ying's 'current' birth, it was too easy for Gu Han to make false arrangement with his abilities!
”Of course she doesn't, how could I let her know… I already owe the both of them too much…” Gu Han replied bleakly.
”I genuinely feel proud for Qiao Ying to have a great and admirable father like you!” Jun Mo Xie said mockingly. ”You have indeed given up your all for the Holy Lands! To be able to treat your beloved as a tool for cultivation. To treat your own daughter as a weapon. And even devoted your lifetimes to it! How admirable!”
Gu Han gritted his teeth, as if there was a tremendous ache in his heart. He suddenly yelled. ”In my two lifetimes, she is my only child! How could I not wish to find a good family for my own daughter? Let her live comfortably?! How could I not wish to give her the love and joy of a family that she deserves?! I wished to! How could I not! I wished for it so badly! But… if I did that, then what would the rest of the world do? Without the aid of Qiao Ying's All Seeing Eye, am I supposed to watch my brothers die in the hands of the strange races, one by one? All of them forced to perish with the strange races and sacrifice themselves valiantly??”
”Indeed! I have despicably sacrificed my daughter's lifelong happiness! But do you know many losses my daughter saved the Holy Lands from?”
