Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Jian bowed ninety degrees, everyone around him rushed up to help him up.
"Mr. Gu, it's not you who's wrong, it's the Daqian Empire!" Xiao Zhantian stood up and said.
Over at Tianxing Academy, Ping Qianfan, who was seriously injured, sighed: "Mr. Gu, you may have caused this incident, but in the final analysis, you are also a victim, and you shouldn't blame yourself so much."
"Mr. Gu, I think that without you, we would be at risk of being destroyed."
Murong Shuran also spoke slowly.
"how do I say this?"
Gu Jian looked at Murong Shuran and asked.
Murong Shuran asked: "Master Gu, if it is not you but someone else who gets the Panlong Cauldron in the first place, then who can help us when our Daqian Empire suffers a disaster?"
"Yes, Piaoxuelou is the one who helped our Tianxing Kingdom overcome the difficulties this time. But if it weren't for you, Mr. Gu, how would Piaoxuelou help us?"
Many Tianxing Academy students quickly agreed.
The Yongning Region has a vast territory. There are hundreds if not thousands of countries like the Tianxing Kingdom, and even if a small country like theirs is destroyed, no one will take care of it at all.
Even looking at the Southern Wilderness, a small country like the Tianxing Kingdom might be wiped out one by one every day.
If it weren't for Gu Jian and the Daqian Empire wanted to destroy the Tianxing Kingdom, who would take a second look at them?
"Mr. Gu, Miss Murong is right. You don't need to blame yourself too much."
The deputy landlord of Piaoxue Building also spoke up.
"Based on my experience, in fact, from the moment the Panlong Cauldron appeared in your Tianxing Kingdom, you were already a piece of fish on the chopping board and could be slaughtered by the Daqian Empire.
Could it be that if you allow the Seventh Prince of Daqian to successfully deliver the Panlong Cauldron to Emperor Daqian, the Daqian Empire will not liquidate you? Not necessarily."
The deputy owner of Piaoxue Building had an inscrutable look on his face.
Mr. Xu followed: "Mr. Gu, if you hadn't made a decisive decision immediately and sacrificed your huge interests to cooperate with our Piaoxue Tower, the Tianxing Kingdom would have been in real danger of being destroyed."
Listening to what Murong Shuran and others said, Gu Jian felt a little better as he blamed himself.
"Gu Jian, this is not your fault." Xiao Jinyan held Gu Jian's hand and comforted her softly.
The young man she had met by chance at the Gu Mansion had now become a variable when the Tianxing Kingdom encountered disaster. She was thankful from the bottom of her heart that she had made the decision to give Gu Jian enough time.
"No matter what, Gu has an unshirkable responsibility... Since everyone is willing to forgive Gu, then Gu will put his words here and will definitely avenge his dead compatriots in the future, and Gu will also be willing to pay for each of them. pension!"
Gu Jianyi spoke righteously.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The pension of more than 200,000 people is an astronomical figure. Mr. Gu is so loyal!
"Let me pay the pension."
Xiao Jinyan said to Gu Jian.
In fact, she still felt guilty about Gu Jian.
"No, I should pay the pension." Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyan was interrupted again by Xiao Zhantian.
Xiao Jinyan didn't object, Xiao Zhantian walked up to her and said seriously: "Yan'er, it was your father who forced you to hand over the Panlong Cauldron. It was your father who made you live with the guilt of Gu Jian. Among them, the father should atone for his own weakness."
"Father..."
Xiao Jinyan was finally willing to look at Xiao Zhantian.
"Okay, okay, it's just a pension, you don't need to snatch it away."
The deputy landlord of Piaoxue Building said.
"This money will be paid by me, Piaoxuelou, as a way of thanking Mr. Gu for his trust in us."
The pension of more than 200,000 people is a lot for Gu Jian, Xiao Jinyan and the Tianxing royal family, but it is nothing to Piaoxuelou.
Compared with the benefits that Panlong Cave Secret Realm will create for Piaoxue Tower, it is a drop in the bucket.
After another discussion, in the end, Xiao Zhantian and Piaoxuelou each shouldered half of the pension of more than 200,000 people, and the dean of Tianxing College also agreed.
Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan wanted to make amends, but Xiao Zhantian had a tough attitude and didn't give them a chance.
…
Early the next morning, Gu Jian opened the door of Murong Shuran's room and handed a bag of pills to her hand.
"Miss Murong, these are ten fourth-level Qi Condensing Pills that I have refined for you. They should be enough for you to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Dan Condensing Realm."
Gu Jian said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, what are you..." Murong Shuran said curiously with a touch of joy in his eyes.
Fourth-level elixirs are extremely precious, and I am afraid that only a few Nascent Soul Martial Lords in the entire Tianxing Kingdom have used them. Although Murong Shuran was personally passed down by Lord Wu, he has only taken third-level elixirs so far.
Ten level four elixirs, if placed in front of her master, would shock the master's eyes.
What made Murong Shuran even more happy was that Gu Jianneng made a special trip to see her early in the morning.
"The Wu Jun Talisman you gave me saved my life, and this is what I repay you with."
Gu Jian explained with a smile.
When he saw Murong Shuran yesterday, he found that she was already at the third level of the pill condensing realm, so Gu Jian refined ten fourth-level elixirs for her.
In terms of value, ten fourth-level elixirs are naturally far superior to Wu Jun's Talisman, but for Gu Jian, this is far less important than his own life.
"It's good that it comes in handy, but didn't we agree that as long as you live to see me again, we will repay you?"
Murong Shuran seemed to be complaining, she had been worried about Gu Jian being in danger outside these days. After all, Gu Jian dared to go to trouble Meng Fentian when he was in the middle stage of the Condensing Core Realm, and later he dared to go to great lengths.
The Seventh Prince's treasure ship, what else could he not dare to do?
Gu Jian laughed: "In that case, let's treat it as a gift between friends."
"A gift? Then I don't seem to have anything on me that can be used as a gift in return." Murong Shuran touched his pocket and said hastily.
Gu Jiandao: "If you don't, there's no need. Miss Murong, Gu will leave first."
"Wait! Mr. Gu, I want to say something to you." Murong Shuran grabbed Gu Jian.
"Say." Gu Jian turned around and said.
"Mr. Gu, come closer."
Murong Shuran took a deep breath, as if she had made a very bold decision.
"What? It's mysterious."
Gu Jian took a few steps forward with a puzzled look on his face.
"What I want to say is..." Murong Shuran leaned close to Gu Jian's ear and whispered.
However, just when Gu Jian thought Murong Shuran really wanted to say something, his cheeks suddenly felt wet and hot, and then the wetness disappeared instantly.
"Miss Murong, you..." Gu Jian trembled, not expecting Murong Shuran to kiss him.
Murong Shuran blushed and said seriously in Gu Jian's ear: "Master Gu, no matter where you are going, promise me that you will live to see me again."
"I...I promise you."
In the past, Gu Jian might have been hesitant or even at a loss, but since being enlightened by Xiao Jinyan, he has become much more relaxed about relationships.
No matter whether Murong Shuran likes him or not, what he should do now is not ask questions.
Just let nature take its course.
"Mr. Gu, let's go."
Murong Shuran slowly let go of Gu Jian.
Gu Jian nodded, turned and left.
"Mr. Gu..."
Murong Shuran covered her heart with the elixir that Gu Jian gave her, looked at Gu Jian's back and murmured.
