Chapter 465: The Year
Gu Xiu looked at Gu Xuan who was burying his head in the formation, hoping that she could not disturb each other, otherwise... she thought she would not be as good-tempered as Gu Shu.
"Eighth sister, I remember that the third sister could go to the Yancheng City Lord's Mansion with the ninth sister and the fourth brother to participate in the selection and trial of the new disciples of the City Lord's Mansion, which I envious.
And you can go to Shangcheng with your sixth sister, second brother and third brother, with the convoy of He City Lord of Xianshui City to go to Shangcheng to experience the experience. I am even more envious."
Gu Xuan stood up and said these inexplicable words to Gu Xiu first. At least, Gu Xiu felt a little inexplicable.
"Sister, why do you envy? Whether it is the Lord of Yancheng City or the Lord of Shangcheng City, you are unwilling to go to, and you even sneer at our third sister's behavior."
Although I felt that Gu Xuan's words were a bit inexplicable, Gu Xiu still said this, and that things happened back then were like this.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Ha!" Gu Xuan chuckled, "I don't want to go? I sneered?
Eighth Sister, do you know how much I wanted to go to Yancheng with the third sister? I also wanted to go to Shangcheng with you and the sixth sister. I was over 200 years old at that time, but I had never been to a place thousands of miles away from Xianshui City. I am not those mortal women who only like to take care of their husbands and children. I also want to go further on the road of cultivation."
Gu Xuan said this, angry, and jealous. Gu Xiu seemed to have guessed something, but for some reason, no ripples in her heart.
"Is it my mother? Is it her meaning? She won't let you go out? What does she want you to do at home?"
Gu Xiu asked calmly.
"You knew it long ago?" Gu Xuan's face became even more ugly, and her tone became a little more violent and vicious than before.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Gu Xiu knew why she reacted like this, so she shook her head, "No, I only knew after you said it."
Gu Xiu did not wait for Gu Xuan to answer, and immediately continued: "You were probably wondering why I guessed so easily. In fact, if you didn't say it, I really don't know that you didn't go to Yancheng with your third sister and the others, and didn't go to Shangcheng with me. The real reason is not that you don't want to go by yourself, but that you mentioned this, besides your mother, I can't think of anyone else to stop you, maybe it was the mother and father who did it together..."
"Do you know what they said to me? They said they had no sons, and their grandparents also asked them to provide golden beads. They finally raised three of us and let two young ones go. If even I left them, if something happened to them, they would not even have a helper at that time. What's more, my mother was injured by the red-eyed snake and her life spanned sharply. She realized that she would not have to survive a few years, and she might have to take the Suyuan Dan to maintain her life.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
If I leave, who will provide them with the Yuan Dan? They are looking for mediators everywhere, wanting to recruit me as a son-in-law who has a low cultivation level and can earn gold beads, but has no family background. What kind of virtue will it be like if you can marry into a free cultivator who has not yet had a low cultivation level? Eighth sister, I don’t need to say this."
It was like a resentment that had accumulated over the years, and today there was finally a vent of catharsis. Gu Xuan spoke very quickly, just like she was afraid that there would be no time to finish talking about these resentments.
Her face was a little red, and the violent aura in her eyes, which seemed much more complicated than before, did not diminish a little because she finally vented her years of resentment in front of her.
This made Gu Xiu clearly realize that Gu Xuan's revelation and the anger and unwillingness she wanted to express were not just her performance, but also part of her true emotions.
"Why are you silent? Didn't you expect that our mother, who has always cared for you and Gu Shu, would say such cruel words and do such cruel things to me?&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Are you thinking about our seemingly cowardly and incompetent father, who ignores you and Gu Shu, but can command me like the eldest daughter, as he is thinking about how painful it is in my heart when you and Gu Shu are living and practicing according to their own ideas and wishes?"
Gu Xiu raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xuan. She knew that Gu Xuan wanted to see her guilty look, but she obviously wanted to disappoint her.
Gu Xiu asked softly: "At that time, my father and mother, our two elders, had any other means besides verbally giving you the orders you said above?"
Gu Xuan was stunned, as if she didn't understand what Gu Xiu meant.
Noting Gu Xuan's puzzled eyes, Gu Xiu explained: "For example, putting some talismans on you makes you have to obey their orders? You can't even use any means to pass their orders to anyone, including me, my third sister, grandfather and grandmother, and most importantly, the second uncle of our Gu family.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Or they did not use the talisman, but instead gave you some poison, just like the methods you had done before, threatening you to neither disobey their orders nor tell anyone their orders, including... like the above, otherwise they would not give you an antidote, causing you to die of poison, and specifically stated that the poison in their hands is a rare and strange medicine. Except for their antidote, it is simply impossible to find the antidote before poisoning."
In Gu Xuan's increasingly stunned eyes, Gu Xiu continued: "Maybe they have also controlled your actions, making you unable to speak or move. Oh, with the strength of our parents, it seems that we cannot do this.
Just like the examples I gave before, talismans and poisons, they must not be able to get them. Maybe they have other means that I didn’t expect. Sister, tell me, so I can also open my eyes and see them for a long time?"
After Gu Xiu said this long list of words, Gu Xuan's face had changed a few times.
"No," Gu Xuan's face finally returned to calm. She repeated calmly again, "No, they did not use any means, they just verbally gave me orders."
"Oh," Gu Xiu nodded clearly and said calmly: "Sister, why do you listen to them and why don't you resist? You said that you were over 200 years old at that time. You can live and practice as you wish with me and my third sister. As for your parents, it is not time for them to need retirement. Even if you need, there seems to be no conflict with whether you are recruiting your son-in-law in Xianshui City or leaving Xianshui City with us."
Gu Xuan smiled softly, and his voice came quietly, "Didn't I resist in the end? You also saw the result of my resistance, right? They wanted a son-in-law and a son-in-law with high cultivation. I also found one for them, but I didn't let him marry into the family, but I can't blame me for this, they themselves failed to convince their third brother-in-law..."
As Gu Xiu opened her red lips lightly, she didn't dare to relax at all times, finally waited for Gu Xuan's move. However, Gu Xuan's method shocked her.
