Gu Rong, who didn't expect Gu You to avoid him, touched nothing and was left in mid-air in embarrassment.

Gu You asked: "Your Majesty, Bone Douluo, do you know the origin of this pendant?"

Gu Rong calmly withdrew his hand and explained, "Xiao You, is it okay for me to call you that?"

Gu You nodded, and Gu Rong continued, "Xiao You, you are my brother's descendant, so you are my great-cousin."

"Just call me Grandpa."

Looking at the tall Gu You, Gu Rong's eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he saw the figure of his younger brother who waved goodbye to him and embarked on an adventure alone.

"Brother?" Gu You asked again: "Your Majesty, Bone Douluo, do you know the origin of this pendant?"

Hearing Gu You's words, Gu Rong looked unhappy, but he just thought that Gu You was frightened by this incident, so he said carefully: "The pendant in your hand was given to your grandfather by me when we parted."

"Your grandpa, is he okay?"

Hearing what Gu Douluo said, Gu You knew that he must have made a mistake, so he replied: "My grandfather is very good, but I was adopted by him."

"Adopted?" Gu Rong suddenly realized something, and a bad premonition came into his mind. Gu Rong asked with a trembling voice: "Child, you said you were adopted, then what is this pendant?"

"My grandfather gave it to me. He said he found it next to me when he picked me up."

Hearing Gu You's answer word by word, Gu Rong felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue. He lowered his head, and his whole body trembled slightly.

He thought that he would be able to see his brother again after finding his brother's descendants, but Gu You's words shattered his dream.

'My younger brother's descendants are orphans.'

These words kept circling in Gu Rong's mind, making him dizzy and almost falling to the ground.

Gu Rong had no children and had always treated Ning Rongrong as his own, pouring all his love for her. Now he suddenly discovered a genius who was most likely the descendant of his brother, but he suddenly learned that this descendant was adopted by someone else, and his heart was broken.

For a moment, the Titled Douluo's iron heart was directly pierced, and Gu Rong hugged Gu You tightly, and the tears that had not been shed since he parted with his brother burst out.

"My child, you have worked hard these years." Gu Rong said with tears in his eyes. Since this pendant appeared in Gu You's hand, it proved that his brother might have passed away. His last blood relative in this world was Gu You.

Even Chen Xin, who had already decided to devote his life to the sword, was moved by the scene when he saw his old friend like this.

Gu You gently broke free from Gu Rong's embrace and asked, "Can you please give it back to me?"

Gu You pointed at the pendant held in Gu Douluo's hand, and Gu Rong gently hung the pendant around Gu You's neck. Gu You only heard him say, "Thank you, Your Majesty Gu Douluo, thank you for telling me about my life experience. It's getting late now, and we have a team practice this afternoon."

"Master Ning, His Majesty Sword Douluo, His Majesty Bone Douluo, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Gu You bowed to the three people and turned to leave. Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly followed Gu You. Only the core three members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were left, staring at the two people leaving in amazement.

After walking for quite a while, Tang San, who felt that the three people had not caught up, asked quietly: "Xiao You. Why are you leaving?"

Tang San didn't understand why Gu You chose to leave. This was a relative with the same blood. In Tang San's opinion, even if he had plans in the afternoon, he could postpone the time. It was more important to meet his relatives anyway.

"Xiao San," Gu You walked forward without even turning his head, "Perhaps that Bone Douluo is indeed my relative, and we share the same blood."

"But he's not my family."

"Grandpa Jack, you, Xiao Wu, and Ranta, the four of you are my family."

When Gu Rong said that she was related to him, there was a moment when Gu You couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

Being somewhat related to a Titled Douluo, and a Titled Douluo who protects the richest sect at that, is this any different from "a lawyer finds you one day and tells you that a distant relative whose name you don't remember passed away, and his will left you three houses, a villa and tens of millions in savings under his name"?

As long as Gu You nodded, with his innate talent of full soul power and his contribution to changing the fighting methods of auxiliary soul masters, it would be no problem for him to become the number one person under Ning Rongrong in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Moreover, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is powerful enough, so Gu You no longer needs to hide his identity as "Gu You". Relying on this identity, it will be no problem for him to kill Ning Rongrong and become the top number one in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Relying on the financial resources and connections of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, his own research path was put on the fast track, and the soul guides and precious metals he researched for Tang San could be used one by one.

Whether it was the love of this body or the reason for satisfying his research desire, Gu You had no reason to refuse this tempting reason.

But what about Old Jack?

The old Jack who knocked on every door to ask if they had milk in order to take care of me when I was just born. The old Jack who borrowed a car to take me to the Spirit Hall when I wanted to read. The old Jack who braved the heavy snow to take me to the city clinic when I got sick and had a fever that winter. The old Jack who personally handed me this pendant.

What should I do with him?

If Gu You chose Gu Rong, it would be equivalent to choosing the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. In this world where soul masters and ordinary people are clearly separated, how can he face Old Jack and continue to call him grandpa?

Gu You really wants to know how Lan Xuanyu will address his adoptive father Lan Xiao and biological father Tang Wulin if he sees them at the same time in the future. If he faces the trolley problem, will he choose to save Lan Xiao or Tang Wulin?

Perhaps he could take Old Jack to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's headquarters and protect him to prevent the Fallen from hurting him. He could also choose to give Old Jack a large sum of money to let him spend his old age in peace.

But Gu You couldn't do such a thing. He could laugh at everyone with his advanced knowledge without any moral integrity, and he could also make up a story to cheat Ning Rongrong out of a large sum of money. But on this issue that he considered to be the bottom line, he was unwilling to cross the bottom line for his own better development.

If the bottom line can be broken once, it can be broken a second time, until there is no bottom line.

Gu You didn't believe that he could still be himself after breaking through the bottom line. So, the best thing to do was to refuse and repay the Gu family in his own way.

Maybe it was a bit hypocritical to do so, and everyone would think it was stupid. Gu You thought, since he had talent and was willing to work hard, why not rely on himself.

It may be difficult, you may encounter many setbacks, and of course you may have to take a detour. But isn’t a detour also a shortcut?

"Xiao San," Gu You said in a serious tone that Tang San had never heard before: "I can indeed recognize Bone Douluo, but I will never do so."

"No matter who he is, even if he is of the same blood as me. But in my heart, you are my family who are connected to my heart."

"If I can only choose one of the two, I will choose to be with you."

"Although I have never met my parents, maybe they had no choice but to abandon me, or maybe they sent me away before they died. I don't know."

"But I will remember and be grateful to them for giving birth to me and giving me the talent to become a spirit master. Therefore, I will repay this kindness to Bone Douluo."

"But, I am Gu You from the Holy Soul Village outside Notting City. My home is the small house in the Holy Soul Village that doesn't even have a soul guide."

Gu You turned his head and looked into Tang San's eyes. "My childhood was spent in the Holy Soul Village with you. My grandfather was the Holy Soul Village chief Jack who broke the steamed buns in half, giving half to you and half to me."

"My goal, besides changing the world with you, is to make the village proud of me."

Gu You turned around and continued to move forward with a firm will, while Tang San stopped.

Looking at Gu You who was striding forward in front of him, Tang San recalled what Gu You had said after awakening his martial soul.

"I will change the name of Holy Soul Village, surpassing the legendary Soul Saint in the past, and let Holy Soul Village be named after my level."

Because he was fishing at that time, Tang San thought Gu You was just joking. If he really surpassed the Soul Saint, would he return to this small village?

'Change the world. It's been six years since I left the village. I didn't expect Xiaoyou to still remember it.'

Tang San couldn't help but recall the beam of light by the pond and the right hand that Gu You stretched out to him.

That was the first time in Tang San's life that someone extended a hand to him, and he held that hand tightly.

With a faint smile, Tang San quickly followed Gu You's pace.

"Brother You, Brother San, why are you so slow?" Xiao Wu complained when she saw Gu You and Tang San coming.

The noise made by Gu You just now was actually quite loud, but Ning Fengzhi had set up a layer of soul power in advance to isolate the noise, so no one noticed.

"Really? If you have something to do, just tell me. If Zhuqing and I weren't quick, we would all be hungry today."

Xiao Wu complained while mumbling, and took out four lunch boxes from her soul guide. With a flash of fire in her hand, she handed them to Gu You and Tang San: "Here, your portions."

Looking at Xiao Wu in front of him, Gu You standing beside him, Lan Ta who was approaching, and Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang in the distance, Tang San couldn't help but chuckle.

Looking at the three lunch boxes piled up in front of him, Gu You took the warm lunch box with one hand and used his other hand to pretend to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, pretending to choke up and said: "The child has finally grown up. He is no longer the bad boy who waited for big brother to bring him food. He knows how to feel sorry for big brother."

"Get out of here." Xiao Wu kicked Gu You on the calf. Because she was worried about spilling the food, she only kicked him lightly, then turned around and walked towards Ning Rongrong with a pout.

Gu You smiled slightly, took the chopsticks handed to him by Lanta, opened the lunch box and started eating.

.........

"Old Bones..."

The three of them looked at Gu You's departing back, and Chen Xin looked at his old friend with some worry.

There was confusion in Gu Rong's eyes as he watched the figure gradually going away. He didn't know why Gu You left.

I am clearly his last relative in the world, so why would he just turn around and leave like that, as if he doesn't care at all?

Ning Fengzhi comforted him, "Uncle Gu, maybe this happened too suddenly and Xiao You couldn't accept it all at once, so he behaved like this."

Chen Xin also nodded. He didn’t know whether Gu You thought so. Anyway, no matter whether he did or not, he let Gu Rong cheer up first.

"Let's give him some time to calm down first, and then invite him to our house for a visit."

Gu Rong took a deep breath and his face returned to normal. At his level, there were not many things that could affect his mood. The incident with Gu You was the biggest emotional fluctuation in the past thirty years.

"Feng Zhi, Jian Ren, I'm fine." Putting a smile on his face again, Gu Rong shook his head to show that he was in good condition. But the soul power surging around him showed that he was not as calm as he said.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin looked at each other, but did not expose him. Ning Fengzhi said, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, let's go back to the sect first. We need to think about this matter carefully."

It was not easy to find a top-notch offensive spirit master who was so deeply entangled with the sect. Whether for the happiness of his daughter or for the future of the sect, Ning Fengzhi would never let Gu You leave like this.

The scene of Gu You growing again under Gu Rong's aura was still vivid in his mind. That weird black lightning-shaped thing made him feel a strange pressure even as a level 79 Soul Saint.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu You was very likely related to Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi would have let Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo forcibly bring him back to the sect and slowly cultivate their relationship.

"That's good, that's good. As long as we slowly improve his favorability towards the sect, his future will definitely return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect. Add to that Tang San who can perform the martial soul fusion technique, and Rongrong, and the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is bright."

Ning Fengzhi, who was walking in the front, once again showed a smile that the two Titled Douluo could not see, which was regarded by them as "malicious".

Although this time there really is no ill intention.

"Phew, I'm full."

After finishing the last full lunch box, Gu You finally felt comfortable. Gu You, who didn't know that he had affected Bone Douluo's state of mind, had already put the matter behind him because he still had a task to complete.

Gu You clapped his hands, gathered everyone together, and said, "Everyone, this afternoon's practice is cancelled. Everyone go back to the classroom."

"We need to start preparing for the team battle."

-------------------

ps: The above views regarding family and relatives are only my personal opinions.

In my opinion, family ties are often formed not by blood, but by the heart. Especially since the protagonist is a time traveler, he cares more about his feelings than his bloodline.

I have described so much about the bond between Old Jack and the protagonist before, why doesn't anyone see it?

I feel like I caused public outrage yesterday, so I temporarily adjusted the update time today. I will update at the original time tomorrow. I lost the last mini-game, so it seems I won this round. The losers should remember to vote (laughs).

The last version of BML, Unforgettable Tonight, by Ah B, really made me cry. I have listened to every song of SOS, Gundam SEED, Slam Dunk, Cardcaptor Sakura, Birdsong, and Macross. There is even a section of "The Fiery Duelist". These are all part of my life. I have also gone from a little ACG fan to an old ACG fan.

Please recommend me and ask for monthly tickets~~~
