Chapter 0 Mr. Gu Changzhi's letter retained the power of the Dou Zhan Fire Seed. If it were Mr. Bai Shu...

Perhaps he would be able to discover something.

With this thought in mind, Gu Shen presented the letter. This letter had its own consciousness.

This time, the letter still did not resist—

Bai Shu hesitated for a moment, then took it. With a soft hiss, a wisp of brilliant golden sparks burned on the envelope.

He did not use the power of the Dou Zhan Fire Seed to forcibly open the letter... but instead "watched" it through the flames.

This was Gu Changzhi's letter to the Guang Ming Shen Zuo. No matter what was written inside.

Opening and reading the letter would be a bad thing.

Moreover, the moment Bai Shu received the letter, he received guidance from the Fire Seed—after staring at it for a long time.

Bai Shu said in a deep voice, "This letter... does indeed retain a power that I am familiar with." "But what Gu Changzhi left in this envelope should be more than just words."

"More than just words?" Gu Shen was taken aback.

If more than just words were left in this letter, what else could there be? What else could there be?

"The Fire Seed's intuition reminds me not to open the letter."

Bai Shu solemnly returned the envelope, and he said softly, "The moment this letter was created by Gu Changzhi, its mission was already destined... Gu Changzhi handed it over to you, so you have the right to dispose of it."

Gu Shen took the envelope and fell into thought.

He murmured, "If I have the right to dispose of it, why couldn't I send it out when I was at Red Lake?"

Bai Shu said meaningfully, "Perhaps... it wasn't the right time yet."

Meeting at Red Lake was not the right time?

Gu Shen suddenly understood what Mr. Bai Shu meant.

He pinched the letter. He originally thought the letter was very light, but now he felt that the letter was very heavy.

Heavier than he had imagined.

Gent City Port.

The Gu family delegation had already boarded the ship, and the summoned Night Watchers had also arrived at the port. Meng Xizhou personally saw them off.

The two stood in front of the ferry.

"This time... thanks to you."

Meng Xizhou thought for a long time and said seriously, "Regarding the situation between the two continents, I will do my best to mediate."

"Why do we need to say these things between you and me?"

Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me, there are some things... I should do. As for the situation between the two continents."

Speaking of this, he stretched out his palm and gently stroked the hair on the woman's temples.

At the bottom of Red Lake.

Gu Nanfeng did not tell Meng Xizhou about his conversation with the Guang Ming Shen Zuo... because at this moment his thoughts were still very confused.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" Meng Xizhou raised her eyebrows.

"Guangming City and Changye are not harmonious. With our identities, it is not easy to meet each other. I don't want a war to break out between the two continents in the future, and I don't want to meet on the battlefield next time..."

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a long time, and said slowly, "If possible, I hope this world can be peaceful."

"Of course."

Meng Xizhou smiled and said, "Who doesn't want this world to be peaceful?"

Gu Nanfeng's eyes were complicated. He stepped forward gently and patted Meng Xizhou on the back gentlemanly and considerately.

Meng Xizhou whispered in Gu Nanfeng's ear, "So... did you see the guidance of fate in the [Forbidden Book Tower]?"

"..." Gu Nanfeng was still silent. He raised his head.

He had arrived at night, and was leaving at dusk. The stars twinkled at night, and the sun set over the river at dusk. It was just that there were "stars" twinkling in the sky.

Those were the [Sky Eyes] set up by the deep sea to protect the human world. These "eyes" were monitoring what was happening on the ground at all times.

"I really wanted to see the guidance of fate, but unfortunately."

Gu Nanfeng sighed softly and said seriously, "I didn't see anything, wasting the spot you got for me."

Meng Xizhou was not disappointed by this answer.

"It's okay."

She smiled and said, "What is destined will eventually come, and what is not destined must be forced."

These words made Gu Nanfeng's heart tremble.

He looked at the woman in front of him in a daze. The afterglow of the twilight fell on Meng Xizhou's hair. The wind blew, and she really looked like a goddess from an oil painting, holy and untainted by dust.

"When I woke up, I heard some conversations..."

Meng Xizhou lowered her eyes and said softly, "But you don't have to worry, I just heard a few words when I was about to push the door open, and I immediately returned to the book building."

"I..."

Gu Nanfeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.

"You don't have to worry about the "marriage" matter."

Meng Xizhou raised her head and said sincerely, "If you and I are in love with each other, why do we need others to agree? The so-called marriage contract and matchmakers are just a waste of paper and a fallacy... You and I cannot choose our origins and positions, but under the current torrent, we can choose to do what we think is "right". In my opinion, being able to fight for ideals and beliefs is the greatest luck."

Gu Nanfeng was speechless for a long time.

"No matter when, I believe you will make the right choice..."

Meng Xizhou suddenly said, "I will always remember the spirited young man you were when I met you, I will never forget this scene."

Gu Nanfeng's heart was deeply poked. He was actually a man of few words.

Some things should have been said when he was in the Northern Continent, but the torrent washed away and tossed and turned.

Until now, he had not said it.

But at this moment, if he didn't say it, it might be difficult to say it.

Gu Nanfeng said seriously, word by word, "Meng Xizhou, I like you."

The voice of this sentence was not loud.

A simple mental barrier was set up where the two were talking.

But at this moment, the members of the Gu family delegation on the giant ship started to cheer. Someone whistled, and many people opened champagne... These guys had been staring at the two men and women at the ferry dock. Even if they couldn't hear the content of their conversation, they could tell from their eyes and expressions which stage this farewell had reached.

It was now the confession stage.

"Why are you suddenly saying these things..."

A blush flew onto Meng Xizhou's cheeks. Her skin was already translucent, and now it was covered by the afterglow, and covered with this pink color, it appeared very delicate.

The woman said in a somewhat flustered voice, "Hurry up and leave."

With that, she hurriedly pushed Gu Nanfeng towards the giant ship. At the same time, she added in a very soft voice.

"Me too."

The second thing Gu Shen did after leaving the cemetery was to see Grandpa Gu. The lake in the Gu Clan Ancestral Hall was very large and quiet.

Two folding chairs were placed by the lake.

"You're here?"

Gu Qilin sat in the chair, seemingly dozing off, but as soon as Gu Shen approached, his voice came over, "Zhou Wei happens to be away today... You keep me company."

Gu Shen was not polite, and he sat in Chairman Zhou Wei's seat.

"How many years has it been since he died?"

As soon as he sat down, the old man almost choked him with a word.

Gu Shen honestly said, "I don't remember very clearly... about six years or so."

In fact, he remembered every day he was trapped under the ice sea very clearly.

It was just that there was no need to tell others about the almost dead pain at that time... especially to people like the old man who cared about him.

Gu Shen would rather make this matter easier to talk about.

If the old man was willing to hit him a few times and scold him a few words, he would feel more relaxed and happy in his heart.

But there was none.

The lakeside fell into a long silence after this simple question and answer.

"So... it's been six years already."

Gu Qilin slowly turned his head and looked at the young man beside him, whose face was much thinner, and showed a gratified smile.

In the past six years.

Gu Shen's appearance had changed a lot. But the old man... was the same.

Gu Shen's eyes were a little distressed. The aura of silence on the old man was obviously much stronger than in the past few years. When he first entered Changye, Gu Qilin was still a ruthless person who drove a fighter plane alone and directly confronted the divine realm of the cemetery.

Sometimes, a person's aging often happens overnight.

"I saw the battle at Red Lake, you fought beautifully."

Although Gu Qilin was old, the majesty in his voice was still there, "I also saw what happened afterwards. You rejected the invitation from the [Forbidden Book Tower], not because you still have some trivial matters to deal with... but because you wanted to escape from Guangming City as soon as possible, right?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

Although Gu Qilin was old, his intuition was still sharp. He was indeed like a lion.

He hit the nail on the head with one word.

"Looking at you like this, I can tell that you've been buried under the ice sea for six years, and you haven't had a good life."

Gu Qilin said lightly, "You must have gone through all kinds of hardships to come back alive from the ice sea. The movement in the ruins was probably caused by you... You didn't contact me for six years because you couldn't contact me. Only by killing Jia Wei could you tell the world that you were still alive."

Before that, any leak of information would make Guangming City extremely vigilant. The old man broke the truth with a casual sentence.

Gu Shen responded with silence.

"So you're worried about Guangming Shrine bullying you, or... did Guangming Shrine really bully you?" Gu Qilin looked at Gu Shen.

He said sincerely, "The people of the Gu family have never been wronged outside. If you have any troubles, just tell me. Bai Shu is unwilling to make decisions for you, I will make decisions for you."

"How can there be such a thing?"

Gu Shen looked at the old man with a serious face and couldn't help laughing.

He said helplessly, "As for the shrine, even Jia Wei was killed by me, who else can bully me? As for the Guang Ming Shen Zuo, no matter how shameless he is... he is still a Shen Zuo after all."

The Gu family was the first family in Changye.

But wanting to fight against a Shen Zuo... was too far away.

Mr. Gu Changzhi had already left, and the Gu family had no way to threaten the Shen Zuo in the slightest. And regarding the privacy issue of the "Third Letter," Gu Shen did not intend to tell the old man.

He hoped that the old man could enjoy his life in peace and comfort in the days to come.

His voice stopped abruptly in the next moment.

Because Gu Qilin took out a letter from his arms.

That was the first letter left by Gu Changzhi back then... Gu Shen sent it to the old man, and the latter had never opened it.

"This is?"

Gu Shen looked at the letter blankly...

When he delivered the letter back then, his realm was too low, and the process of delivering the letter was very smooth, so he didn't think too much about it. It was just that at this moment, he suddenly recalled a sentence the old man said at that time.

【"Gu Changzhi, this kid, still has some conscience, and left me a letter... but if he really has a conscience, how could he only leave me one letter?"】

"This is a letter."

"But it's more than just a letter."

Gu Qilin held the envelope with two fingers, and he said softly, "You can understand it as this is a source of confidence that Gu Changzhi left for the Gu family. A source of confidence that is not threatened by anyone."
