Chapter 2308: Chapter 655: Inexpressible Love_5
The Great Elder Ancestor choked, feeling like his heart disease was about to relapse. So many descendants in the Gu Family, how did this little brat end up such a freak of nature?! Cold as ice, nothing gets through to him!
"Elder Ancestor, I won’t let anything happen to her, and I won’t let anything happen to the Gu Family. Please believe me." Gu Yelin suddenly spoke, saying the longest sentence since he entered the room.
The three Elder Ancestors were stunned; even the air paused for a second.
"Brat, I know you value affection and loyalty, but what you’re facing is the entire Ancient Martial World, and the Heavenly Dao itself!" The Great Elder Ancestor sighed and no longer lost his temper. "The Gu Family is the number one family in the Ancient Martial World, and we’re not rigid old fossils. It’s just a God-Devil Physique, with us old men around, whoever wants to lay a finger on you still has to weigh their own life first. But Third Brat, this girl’s problem is not easy to solve. That’s the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao that rules over the Six Realms!"
The Elder Ancestor’s face flushed red with agitation. Gu Yelin looked at him calmly. "Elder Ancestor, I have a God-Devil Physique. I stand outside the Six Realms."
The Elder Ancestor froze, but had no words to refute. Since ancient times, the Chosen One was born to meet the calamity; when the calamity ended, their soul would Return to Void. You could say the Chosen One was a tragedy created by the Heavenly Dao. Those past Chosen Ones all tried to defy the heavens, yet the outcome was far from ideal. Perhaps, the emergence of a God-Devil Physique... could it be a turning point?
The God-Devil Physique exists outside the Six Realms, not bound by the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps this brat really could preserve the life of a Chosen One. And this girl, as the Chosen One, might even bring benefits to this brat’s identity as a God-Devil Physique.
"Ai! I know the two of you youngsters both have your own ideas. We old fogeys never planned to break you up. It’s just that I hope you remember, your lives are not just your own. The Gu Family and the An Family, these two big clans are all behind you, supporting you. At the same time, that’s also your responsibility." The Great Elder Ancestor said.
The Second Elder Ancestor nodded. "If you run into any big trouble, come find us. We brothers don’t have many other skills, but when it comes to fighting, we’re still pretty damn good."
The Third Elder stroked his beard. "Remember this: the Gu Family’s descendants all protect their own! Whoever bullies you, beat them within an inch of their lives! Worst comes to worst, we three old coots will gamble our lives to leave you kids a home!"
An Yiqing blinked, her eyes a little red. She had imagined the image of the Gu Family’s Elder Ancestors countless times, but she never expected these old men to be so warm-hearted.
Only now did she truly realize why the Gu Family could stand unshaken in the Ancient Martial World. It wasn’t just because of overwhelming strength, but also because of a unity the Gu Family had that many great clans lacked.
She was very glad that Ah Lin could grow up in such a family.
After chatting with the three Elder Ancestors about many things, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin didn’t leave until dusk. That night, the two stayed at the Gu Family and had dinner with everyone. The other members of the Gu Family had all returned; except for Gu Hanlin, who was serving in distant Mu City, even Gu Tingting, who usually stayed at school and never came home, showed up.
The two little girls hugged each other in a fit of excitement, until the jealous Master Gu couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled them apart, finally making Gu Tingting settle down.
That night, some were happy, and naturally, some were troubled.
An Yiqing was at ease, but far away, thousands of miles off, The Church was shrouded in gloom.
"What’s the situation now?" In Country Zi, at The Church’s branch. The Archbishop in Red in charge here was named Ben Edward. He was the youngest among The Church’s four Archbishops in Red, only twenty-nine. Likewise, because of his extremely high talent, he had won the Pope’s favor and become the most sought-after of the four Archbishops in Red.
Yet at this moment, Edward’s brows were tightly furrowed, dark clouds gathering on his handsome face.
It all had to be traced back to half a month ago. Half a month ago, on the Pope’s order, Archbishop in Red Lawrence Kabur led three Archbishops in Red and all the Bronze Holy Knights to the Black Forest to besiege and kill An Yiqing. But who would have thought that not only did they fail, they all lost their lives in the Black Forest instead. That battle shocked the world, but it damaged The Church’s reputation and dealt a heavy blow to its Vital energy.
The Pope was both furious and anxious, but before he could arrange the next move, the Bruch Family came at them like they’d been pumped full of chicken blood.
The Old Prince Bruch had three great battle generals beneath him. Two of them led the Blood Clan in a full assault, throwing the Country Zi branch of The Church into utter chaos. Edward immediately notified the branches of The Church in other countries to send reinforcements. But unexpectedly, just as the reinforcements arrived in Country Zi, the branches of The Church in those countries were all attacked by unknown forces.
