"The actual effect of Wuchen Sword Technique is even more amazing than I imagined. The forty-two sword techniques of the Shadowless Realm have been completed. It's time to try to figure out the Wu Kong Realm."
"Well, this level emphasizes reducing complexity into simplicity, and the sword speed is amazing. This is how you should practice..."
Taking four bottles of Qi and Blood Pills, Gu Chen was still pondering on his sword skills on the way back to the tenth peak of the outer gate.
He only focused on practicing, and considering the importance of swordsmanship, he couldn't help but make two gestures with his fingers, causing the passing female disciple to cover her mouth and chuckle.
Soon he returned to the courtyard where he lived and entered the house. He was still immersed in his understanding of swordsmanship.
"Huh? What smells so good?"
The aroma coming from the room made him sniff it, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but look at the table.
When I saw this, my eyes were dumbfounded.
On the table were five-spice chicken, eggplant stew and other dishes that were full of color and flavor, all of which were his favorites in the past, and they were still hot and steaming.
He has lived in this wooden house on the 10th Peak for a week. He practices hard on weekdays and has no time and no way to cook by himself.
He looked at other places in the house and saw that everything was neatly tidied up and the debris was placed in an orderly manner. It was completely different from what it was before he went out.
"The door seemed to be open when I just came in. Could it be that..."
Gu Chen thought about it, feeling inexplicably excited in his heart.
Crunch.
At this time, someone opened the door and walked in. Gu Chen turned around suddenly, his heart felt hot, and he couldn't help shouting, "Mother!"
The visitor was an elegant woman. She came in with a pot of soup. When she saw Gu Chen, she smiled and said, "You're back. Mom was worried that if you didn't come back, the food on the table would be in vain."
"Mom, why are you here?"
Gu Chen quickly stepped forward to help serve the soup, feeling happy but also confused at the same time.
Gu Chen's mother, Shen Yushu, was born into a well-known family and was a lady. After marrying his father, Gu Tianming, she married her husband and raised her children, and the family lived happily.
After Gu Tianming disappeared two years ago, this helpless woman supported the family on one shoulder and became the acting city lord of Tiannan City, taking care of the city's affairs in an orderly manner.
Because Shen Yushu has been very busy, and the Wuchen Sect is a practicing sect and in principle does not allow relatives of its disciples to visit, so in the past two years, her mother has not visited Gu Chen once.
When he saw a table of familiar favorite dishes, he immediately thought it might be his mother, but he couldn't figure out why his mother was here today.
"Do I need a reason to come see my son?"
Shen Yushu smiled and said that even though she was nearly forty years old, her skin was well maintained.
Coupled with reading poetry and books, I have a temperament that has settled down.
The only fly in the ointment was that she had obviously worked a lot over the past two years. When Gu Chen saw her temples turning slightly white, he felt inexplicably distressed.
"Of course there is no need for a reason. It's just that you came so far from Tiannan City, you didn't let me pick you up when you came, and you even prepared such a table of meals."
"I don't have any cooking tools here. Mom, you put a lot of effort into making these, right?"
Gu Chen could guess how long this meal would take just by thinking about it.
"I know you usually don't care about eating. I bought the food and tools when passing by Xishan City."
As Shen Yushu spoke, Gu Chen's mouth became greedy and he couldn't help but move his chopsticks when he smelled the aroma of rice.
"Wait a minute, you kid, I asked Xiaoqiu to call Qingshuang, and we'll eat together when she comes."
Shen Yushu stopped him. Gu Chen's chopsticks that he was about to move stopped and his expression froze.
He suddenly lost his thoughts on eating and his expression was uncertain.
He was only fourteen years old when the Ye family came to force him into marriage two years ago. His father was missing and his mother was busy with affairs in Tiannan City.
At that time, the Ye family was very powerful. If they did not agree to the marriage, the situation for him and his mother would not be optimistic.
Gu Chen was precocious and in order to relieve his mother's worries, he agreed to enter into a marriage contract with Ye Qingshuang even though he knew that the Ye family had bad motives.
At that time, his mother asked him about his wishes. In order to relieve her psychological burden, he told her that he liked Ye Qingshuang very much.
After that, he and Ye Qingshuang entered the Wuchen Sect together. It was obvious that the two of them had not had much interaction and that his situation was still very bad. However, in order to make his mother worry less, he told her in the letters that he was fine and that his relationship with Ye Qingshuang was stable.
Therefore, in the eyes of her mother, Ye Qingshuang is probably her standard daughter-in-law.
Aiwu and Wuxia naturally love her very much.
But now Ye Qingshuang is breaking off the engagement, and even wants to take away the position of Tiannan City City Lord and force his mother to move out of the Gu Mansion. How is he going to explain to her?
He originally just wanted to postpone this matter. Anyway, there were still fifty days left. As long as he could defeat Ye Qingshuang at the Dragon Ascension Ceremony on the first day of July, his mother would not need to know these things.
But he didn't expect his mother to suddenly come to the Wuchen Sect and even ask the maid Xiaoqiu to ask Ye Qingshuang to come over for dinner. Gu Chen suddenly felt very bad.
"Chen'er, what's wrong?"
Shen Yushu saw that Gu Chen looked wrong and couldn't help but ask, thoughtfully.
"Mom, there's something I should tell you."
Gu Chen wanted to explain, but at this moment the door opened, and the quirky little girl walked in first. After her, Ye Qingshuang, who was dressed in white, followed.
"Ah, young master, you are back! Wow, I haven't seen you for two years, and the young master is getting more and more handsome!"
Xiaoqiu hadn't seen Gu Chen for a long time and was so excited that she almost pounced on him.
She looked happy to be reunited after a long absence. Shen Yushu also greeted Ye Qingshuang with a smile, brought her bowls and chopsticks, and asked her to sit down and eat.
"No need, Mrs. Gu, I just came here to clarify something."
Ye Qingshuang coldly refused, not showing much respect to her elders.
"What's the matter?" Shen Yushu's smile faded. She was a wise woman who had sensed something was wrong with the relationship between her son and her future daughter-in-law.
"For so long, Gu Chen and I..." Ye Qingshuang was about to say, but Gu Chen spoke first, his voice extremely cold.
"Mom, I have divorced her."
Take a break!
As soon as the words came out, the room suddenly became quiet, and Xiao Qiu, who was originally laughing, suddenly widened his eyes.
Shen Yushu looked very calm, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why?"
"Because my future husband, Ye Qingshuang, will definitely be a strong man who will stand up to heaven and earth, but Gu Chen will never have the possibility of becoming a strong man!"
Ye Qingshuang looked cold and spoke without mercy.
Gu Chen was the first to say that he divorced her, and in that case, he didn't need to show any mercy.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely awkward and depressing, and Gu Chen laughed angrily.
"Ye Qingshuang, whether I, Gu Chen, will be a dragon or an insect in the future is not decided by you!"
Ye Qingshuang glanced at Gu Chen who was sitting there, his beautiful face indifferent.
"Gu Chen, I heard that you entered the outer gate. Maybe this made you confident and made you feel that you are very close to me."
