Chapter 919 Looking Back
"Still not leaving?"
Seeing Gu Qing in the garden, holding Yan'er and boasting vividly, He Ni asked in surprise.
"What are we going to do?"
Gu Qing retorted, "My daughter needs me right now. How can I just leave and go off to enjoy myself? Am I the kind of irresponsible father?"
He Ni didn't speak, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gu Qing, practically saying, "You're that kind of person."
"Father is not leaving because there is good food and drink here, and his aunt is with him. He is so carefree and happy. Of course, Father doesn't want to leave."
Gu Nian narrowed her eyes slightly and bluntly exposed his mistake.
"Snapped!"
Gu Qing shoved a large bag at her and scolded, "You brat, how can you talk about your old man like that?"
"You're so annoying." Gu Nianbang punched his father twice and said angrily, "Don't you dare mess up my hairstyle, or I'll never forgive you."
"Oh my, how old is she? She's already so vain."
Gu Qing looked disgusted, picked up Yan'er and moved to a different spot, and then invited He Ni to sit next to him.
He smiled and said, "Madam, do you still remember Lin Chen?"
He Ni: "...I remember."
"Tell me, how did Madam come to fall for him in the first place?" Gu Qing asked curiously.
It's like they're rubbing salt in the wound; Lin Chen is the only black mark on her life.
He Ni pinched him and said angrily, "I did not take him as my disciple."
She never actually accepted Lin Chen as her disciple; it was Lin Chen who stubbornly insisted on calling her "Master."
The reason for passing on the martial arts techniques to Lin Chen was due to the circumstances; it was a matter of choosing the best among the worst.
"Oh dear, who is Lin Chen? Auntie, Father, please tell us."
Xian'er immediately sensed the juicy gossip and her big eyes lit up.
Gu Qingqing cleared her throat and began to recount those youthful days with great emotion.
"Back in the day, your father was just a person with exceptional talent, a once-in-a-millennium genius in Maple Leaf City..."
"what?"
"Top-tier talent means a once-in-a-millennium genius? Father, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
Xian'er was stunned, then rolled her eyes in disdain: "Dad is really something, he can't even come up with a better story to brag about."
"???"
Gu Qing looked distressed. People listened with great interest to his lies, but no one believed him when he told the truth.
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense." He Ni's beautiful eyes softened with a gentle smile.
“My dear girl, your father was indeed born with exceptional talent and was truly a once-in-a-millennium genius in Maple Leaf City.”
Gu Qing said helplessly, "If you don't believe me, ask your aunt."
"Auntie, is it true?" Xian'er asked.
He Ni nodded slightly: "It's true. Your father's biggest ambition back then was probably to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm and become a powerful Purple Mansion expert who dominated a region, haha..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha……"
Xian'er let out a very loud laugh.
She never believed what Gu Qing said, and if she did believe it, she only believed one-tenth of it.
But what He Ni said was more real than real gold.
Gu Nian grinned, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, and smiled silently.
I never would have guessed that Gu Qing, who was so capable, would only have achieved so little in his youth.
If word gets out, people will probably laugh themselves to death.
Yan'er blinked her big eyes, puzzled. She didn't understand what her sister and mother were laughing at, so she smiled too, revealing a few tiny teeth.
Its chubby appearance is extremely cute.
But Gu Qing felt completely unwell.
"What do you know? I come from humble beginnings, and the Purple Mansion Realm is the highest realm I know. Do you know why the Purple Mansion Realm is called a great power? It means that they can truly dominate a region, and even the emperor has to pay his respects to them."
"Yes, yes, Daddy is right, hahaha, that's hilarious."
Xian'er laughed uncontrollably. What kind of great power is a mere Purple Mansion Realm cultivator?
After laughing enough, she handed Yan'er to He Ni, then plopped herself down on his lap, her eyes filled with adoring starlight.
"Father is the most amazing. He came from humble beginnings and became a Dao Lord. Looking at the entirety of history, I guess only Father has ever done it."
"By the way, how did Father manage to do that? Could he be a reincarnation of a powerful being?"
She could understand mortals becoming immortals or emperors, but for someone like Gu Qing to become a saint, a celestial being, a god, a Dao Lord, or a Dao Master without any obstacles was something else entirely.
It's incredible, even impossible, that this happened in such a short time.
After all, anyone who has practiced cultivation knows just how difficult it is.
Without the foundation laid in a previous life and the accumulation of countless years, it would be simply impossible.
He Ni's eyes flickered, and she looked at Gu Qing with a serious expression.
"That's because I have extraordinary comprehension and a bit of good fortune..."
Seeing that things were finally back on track, Gu Qing began to recount his heroic deeds, earning the three little ones' full admiration.
He Ni pursed her lips, completely relieved.
Gu Qingdu is now a Dao Master, yet she shows no signs of awakening the Dao Fruit of a powerful being. It seems she was overthinking things.
Gu Qing was an ordinary person from beginning to end, not a reincarnation of a powerful being.
There was constant laughter and joy in the garden.
Li Shishi listened intently in the kitchen, her heart aching more and more as she listened. She never imagined that Gu Qing, who seemed so glamorous, had such a difficult background.
She had always thought that Gu Qing was from a great cultivation family and was born into nobility, but she never expected him to be a pitiful little man living under someone else's roof.
Fortunately, he awakened the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body and was sensed by the Star Divine Palace's magic treasure; otherwise, Gu Qing might have only ever become a Purple Mansion Realm expert in his entire life.
When Li Shishi thought of Gu Qing struggling to survive in a small place, even if he were fortunate enough to become a powerful being in the Purple Mansion, he would be old and gray.
Or perhaps they could branch out and establish a large family with many descendants.
"hiss……"
Li Shishi took a deep breath, not daring to think about it, and quickly banished the unrealistic ideas from her mind.
After quickly cooking eight main dishes and serving them, Li Shishi asked, "Aqing, what are your plans for the future?"
With the Jiang family destroyed, Gu Qing breaking through to the Dao Lord level, and Zhi Meng becoming a forbidden existence, it can be said that they have already stood at the top of the boundless chaos pyramid.
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Let's take the three of them out for a trip and broaden their horizons."
The main purpose was to teach the three little ones some ways to conduct themselves in society. After all, although they are strong, they are not mature enough and do not understand the dangers of the world.
And then there's Yan'er, who hasn't developed any intelligence yet, still like a cute baby. She has the Dao Lord realm but no brains. I hope she won't be kidnapped one day.
“I’m going too!” He Ni said.
“Okay!” Gu Qing nodded, as she had originally planned to bring He Ni along anyway.
Compared to the three younger ones, He Ni isn't much better; she's just a socially awkward person with a pure heart.
"Aqing, your mother has nowhere to go..."
Li Shishi is going too. She's really worried about Gu Qing and He Ni taking care of the baby, so she needs to stay and watch over them.
"Isn't this too much trouble?" Gu Qing felt a little embarrassed that he had to keep asking his mother-in-law to help him take care of the child.
"What trouble could there be? I'd love to take Yan'er with me every day."
"Alright then! But..."
Gu Qing glanced at Li Shishi's outfit, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
Li Shishi's outfit is too unconventional.
She was already stunningly beautiful, and now she was dressed in a white shirt, a bodycon skirt, long legs encased in black stockings, and crystal high heels, looking fashionable and radiant.
Moreover, she possesses a unique temperament, an intellectual elegance unseen in this world, with gentle, watery eyes that seem to hold the light of wisdom, radiating cultural knowledge from within.
"What's the big deal..." Li Shishi smiled gently, a flash of light emanating from her, and she changed into a palace dress.
Every gesture, every smile, exudes the dignified elegance of an empress.
"What a wonderful mother-in-law..."
