Chapter 96 Parents with Clear-cut Differences
"Xuan'er, you've never asked me about your parents. Back then, you were just a bit slow on the uptake, and I didn't want your parents' situation to be a burden for you, so I never told you."
Now I'm asking you, do you want to know about your parents?
The ancient banyan tree, which had been standing straight, suddenly bent over, looking like a lonely old man, filled with helplessness and loss.
? ?
A question flashed through Gu Xuan's mind: his parents' matter?
Didn't it disappear during the Soul Hunting event?
Aren't most of the parents of the transmigrators in Douluo Continent killed off like this?
However, Gu Xuan thought about it and realized that it was a way of death that only parents in ordinary families would experience. It would be a joke if Gu Rong's son and daughter-in-law died for the same reason.
It seems the deaths of my adoptive parents were not so simple after all.
"Then tell me about it."
Gu Xuan took Gu Rong away from the area, leaving her with A Fu to vent his frustrations, and then went to a spacious place to take out a table and chairs and sit down.
We're going to eat and chat at the same time.
"Your father was a renowned genius in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back then. Although his talent was not as good as yours or mine, he was still a genius with innate level nine soul power."
"Although your relative is a bit lacking, they still possess a top-tier soul."
The ancient banyan tree was lost in its memories.
"Your father is ambitious and unwilling to follow the path of space like me. His bone dragon cultivates the path of the undead. Although doing so greatly increases the attack power of the bone dragon, it also has many disadvantages. Influenced by the power of the undead, your father's temperament is somewhat obsessive."
However, because the power of the undead is compatible with the bone dragon, its cultivation speed has increased considerably, even rivaling my own back then. If it can fully mature, its achievements will certainly not be inferior to mine.
A look of pride flashed in Gu Rong's eyes as he said this.
Although Gu Xuan was listening quietly, he couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.
That's probably not just paranoia, it's more like the person is going to become a bit of a ghost.
However, he didn't say anything, after all, respect for the dead is paramount.
"Your mother was once a proud daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and her Holy Sword of Light defeated countless disciples of other schools."
He almost became that old slut's disciple.
Gu Rong smiled as she said this, indicating that she had high hopes for her son and daughter-in-law's talents.
Similar to Gu Xuan's situation, Gu Xuan's father had a gloomy and extreme personality due to his martial soul, while his mother was sunny, innocent, and naive.
After the two got together, Gu Xuan's father, under the influence of the Holy Sword of Light, began to resemble a normal person again.
The two also received great support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and reached the Soul Saint realm in their thirties, showing great potential to become the next Sword Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
It's just that fate is jealous of talent, or perhaps he was implicated by others.
Six years ago, shortly after Gu Xuan was born, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall went to war.
Based on the idea that the three sects are of one mind and share the same roots, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan mobilized a lot of people to prepare to fight against the Spirit Hall together with the Clear Sky School.
Gu Xuan's parents were among them.
Originally, the Haotian Sect was quite strong, and if the three sects joined forces, it could be used as a test of strength.
However, at the crucial moment, the people from Haotian Sect suddenly disappeared without giving any notice.
This resulted in the two groups, who were originally just there to provide support, instantly becoming the targets of the Spirit Hall's concentrated attacks.
None of the people sent to provide support by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School survived, while the Clear Sky School retained most of its manpower and returned to Clear Sky Fortress to hide.
Gu Xuan was completely dumbfounded when he heard the last part. How did he end up being involved with the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect?
Is this a forced addition of scenes?
He just wanted to honestly improve his strength and then enjoy life, so how did two quasi-hostile forces suddenly appear?
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't sent them there to gain experience, they wouldn't have ended up like this again."
Gu Rong held his head in his hands, looking as pitiful and helpless as an elderly person living alone, his tone filled with regret.
"Are there any portraits of them when they last left?"
Gu Xuan opened his mouth, then sighed and said.
Although he didn't really want to acknowledge any parents, especially not parents with whom he had no feelings.
But seeing Gu Rong's pitiful state, he decided to help him out, as a way of showing care for the elderly.
Gu Rong pursed her lips, wanting to refuse, but the words wouldn't come out.
It's impossible for him not to want to see his son again, but now he's hesitant.
"Um, young master, this is a portrait of the master and mistress."
Just as the two fell silent, Afu, having recovered from his extreme pleasure, respectfully presented a scroll with both hands.
The painting was hanging in his room, and he would always take it out to look at it when no one was around. This time, when Gu Xuan left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Afu took it out as well.
Gu Rong's eyes widened at the sight; this old man had actually made such a big decision for him without saying a word.
Afu chuckled. He was now acting in accordance with Gu Xuan's will. Since Gu Xuan had left, he would naturally have to find a way to kidnap Gu Rong as well.
After Gu Xuan left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Gu Rong's only remaining attachment to the school was probably this painting.
"Well done!"
Gu Xuan took the portrait from Afu, patted him on the shoulder, and took back the horse talisman from Afu's body.
"It is my honor to serve the young master."
Afu looked at Gu Xuan with nothing but fervor in his eyes.
Gu Xuan not only gave him a magical herb that could defy fate, but also gave him the opportunity to do so.
The horse talisman not only repaired his long-standing hidden injuries and the wear and tear on his martial soul, but also allowed him to break through the bottleneck that had hindered his cultivation for many years, reaching level 87.
At the same time, it also opened up a path for him to move forward. Even without taking immortal herbs and using soul bones, he was still confident that he could break through to the Title Douluo level.
In his eyes, Gu Xuan was no different from a god at this moment.
"You—this—"
Seeing Gu Xuan reach out and take the scroll, Gu Rong opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Gu Xuan ignored the pretentious Gu Rong and casually unfurled the scroll.
Contrary to expectations, the portrait did not only depict Gu Xuan's parents, but also included Gu Rong.
The tall, ancient banyan tree sits solemnly and majestically in the center of the portrait.
Behind him on the left, a gloomy man who didn't look like a good person stood with his hands behind his back, looking ahead with a disdainful gaze, appearing stubborn and unruly.
On the right is a woman with a gentle and warm expression, her face radiant with a humble smile.
This contrasts sharply with the man.
Gu Xuan's eyes were drawn to this scene, especially to the child lying quietly in the woman's arms, whose head was only half-exposed.
