Recognizing Each Other Chapter 508
Guyan rose to his feet, straightened his clothes, and steadied his emotions before speaking.
Mo Jiuli nodded, her mind shifting as she sent Guyan outside, while she remained in the space, knowing they had things to discuss…
When Guyan stepped outside, he saw Gu Qi sobbing in Third Uncle’s arms.
Swallowing his own sorrow, he knelt before Third Uncle and said, “Third Uncle…”
“Third Brother…” Gu Qi heard him and lunged into Guyan’s arms, exclaiming.
“Yanyan, are you alright?” Third Uncle asked, worried.
Hearing Guyan call him Third Uncle, he knew Guyan hadn’t forgotten…
“Third Uncle, Xiaoqi, it’s my fault, I couldn’t save Dad and Mom and Second Uncle…” Guyan said, closing his eyes and bowing his head.
“Silly child, it’s not your fault.
Even if I had been there, I would have been powerless just the same.
It’s Bai Ling and Di Yun’s fault; they destroyed the Gu Family…” Third Uncle said angrily.
The uncle and nephews recognized each other, yet due to the Gu Family’s past, they shared the same pain, the same wounds…
After a long while, Guyan and Gu Qi’s emotions slowly settled.
Guyan looked at Third Uncle and said, “Third Uncle, back then I was, by Huihui…”
“I remember Gu Qi and I saw the Big Fire, rushing back, we clearly saw Sister-in-law escaping with you in her arms.
I hid Gu Qi, then chased after you, but when I reached the Cliff, I only found Sister-in-law’s corpse, torn in half, with four men in black clothes standing nearby.
I killed the men in black, burned Sister-in-law’s corpse with Fire, and then went back to find Gu Qi.
I never saw the maid Huihui that you mentioned…” Third Uncle said, his Eyebrows furrowed.
“That’s impossible.
Mom was clearly taken to Dad’s Study Room along with Second Uncle’s family…” Guyan said.
“Third Uncle, the scroll Miss Mo showed us earlier did indeed contain our Mom!” Gu Qi also looked at Third Uncle and said.
“Third Uncle, think again, I remember when I was floating in the air, Bai Ling left behind a group of men in black clothes; there were at least a dozen of them.
But you mentioned there were only four, could you have remembered it wrong?” Guyan asked, feeling something was off.
“I remember there were indeed only four men in black back then.
Now that you mention it, I suddenly recall that those four, upon seeing me, didn’t come to kill me.
It was only after I initiated the fight that they fought back.
Moreover, their strength was somewhat similar to mine, not quite like the experts from Luohua Valley.
When I returned, I saw Gu Qi kneeling and weeping in front of our Parents and other corpses of the Gu Family, the fire growing fiercer.
Gu Qi and I had no time to retrieve their bodies, we could only watch helplessly as the Gu Family was reduced to ashes.
We both watched until the Gu Family was ash, only after paying our respects did we leave.
There were indeed only four black-clothed men that I had killed…” Third Uncle recalled the scenes from that time.
“What exactly happened?” Guyan frowned.
“Yanyan, I plan to leave Xiaoqi with you.
The two of you should cultivate well to improve your strength.
I will start the journey back to the Hidden Clan and secretly investigate the incident from back then…” Third Uncle said, looking at Guyan.
“Third Uncle, can you manage in the Luo Clan?” Guyan asked after thinking it over.
“It’s alright, Xiaoqi and I have been held in high regard in the Luo Clan, so you don’t have to worry!” Third Uncle said.
“Right, Third Brother, the people of the Luo Clan have been kind to me and Third Uncle!” Gu Qi chimed in.
“Alright, Third Uncle, you go back and first check on my Mother…
