It was night, the bright moon hung high, and the bright moonlight fell on the beautiful garden.

In the gazebo, beside the Mirror Lake, Gu Chen and Mr. Zhuo Jian were sitting face to face, with green wine brewed on the stone table in front of them.

"Senior invited me here late at night, why not?" Gu Chen sat upright and asked politely.

Although he and Humble Sword Lord are both Dao Lords, but Humble Sword Lord is far older than him, plus his friendship with Chu Meixin, out of politeness, they are called seniors.

Yesterday Gu Chen had a very happy conversation with Mr. Zhuo Jian, but he did not expect that he would invite him to the meeting again tonight, and this time only the two of them were there.

Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, and almost all the Taoists from all sides have arrived. Lord Humble Sword must be busy with a lot of things, Gu Chen is a little puzzled about his intentions.

Zhuo Jianjun looked at Gu Chen's heroic face, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she was, and she couldn't help but reveal her smile.

When he first knew the name Gu Chen, he had many worries in his heart.

Because after his investigation, the other party was just a defected general from Xing County, how could he be worthy of his talented granddaughter?

Later, as shocking news about Gu Chen came out one after another, Mr. Clumsy Sword began to pay attention to it, and secretly felt that this is a talent that can be made.

But even at that time, he never thought of marrying his granddaughter to the other party, after all, the other party had made too many enemies.

Later, the ending of Fangwai World fell through everyone's glasses, and Mr. Zhuo Jian deeply realized that this son is absolutely worthy of his granddaughter, and among his peers, he is undoubtedly the number one genius!

So at the Hundred Counties Meeting, he took the initiative to use his birthday banquet as an opportunity to help Gu Chen ease the relationship with the Hundred Counties Daojun.

He had the idea of ​​recruiting the other party as his grandson-in-law, but after all, he had never met him face to face, so he hid the idea for now.

Until meeting Gu Chen yesterday, seeing that he is imposing, his conversation is extraordinary, what's more rare is that he is such a genius without the slightest arrogance, he has no doubts at once.

This person has a bright future, and it would definitely be a good thing for his granddaughter to marry him!

After consulting his granddaughter's opinion, Mr. Humble Sword couldn't wait to set up the banquet for tonight, and wanted to confirm the relationship between the two families tonight.

As long as Gu Chen is willing to marry his granddaughter, he has already made up his mind that he will firmly stand by his side in the next hundred counties meeting, and it doesn't even matter if he is the leader.

In fact, it is not uncommon for the counties to form alliances with each other. He wants to announce the engagement between the two parties tomorrow, so that both Ba County and Jian County will have a higher level of power.

Humble Sword Lord had his calculations in mind, and never thought about whether Gu Chen would refuse. In his opinion, this is a matter of mutual benefit, not to mention that his granddaughter is not bad in all aspects.

"Gu Xiaoyou, this old man doesn't like to go around, so I'll tell you directly. This old man intends to marry my granddaughter Mei Xin to you. I wonder if you agree?"

Humble Sword Lord said kindly, and then he looked forward to seeing Gu Chen's surprised expression.

"Miss Chu?"

Gu Chen didn't expect that Zhuo Jianjun invited him to meet alone for this kind of thing, he was quite astonished for a while, and asked. "Does Miss Chu know about this?"

In his mind, this should be Zhuo Jianjun messing up the mandarin ducks, as long as Chu Meixin doesn't agree, things will be easy to talk about.

"Mei Xin has already agreed, just wait for your nod."

Zhuo Jianjun replied with a smile, because Gu Chen knew how to respect the woman's opinion, he felt more satisfied.

Gu Chen was silent for a while.

Chu Meixin actually agreed to the marriage, but she didn't expect her...

Seeing Jun Jian's expectant face, Gu Chen realized that if he refused this marriage, it would be a great humiliation to the Chu family, and Jun Jian himself would not be able to step down.

With the strength of Jian County, if the two parties marry, it will be of great benefit to Ba County.

Chu Meixin is young, beautiful, and talented, so she is worthy of him.

However, just because of the benefits he can see directly, in order not to offend others, should he agree to this marriage?

Lan Chu's figure appeared in Gu Chen's mind, and he immediately had the answer in his heart, without any wavering!

"There is one thing that seniors may not know, Gu has already had a family."

Gu Chen opened his mouth, even though he felt that it was impossible for Mr. Humble Sword to investigate this matter.

Hearing this, Zhuo Jianjun shook his head indifferently.

"As far as I know, the chaotic window of the ninth realm of Xing County has already collapsed, and Gu Xiaoyou is already alone. People always have to look forward, Gu Xiaoyou should let go of the past and start over."

He said it cryptically, but it meant that Gu Chen would never see his former wife in his life, so why should he be obsessed with these things?

"For me, my wife is not the past, but the present, the future."

Gu Chen looked at Lord Humble Sword, and replied calmly.

Although he personally destroyed the chaotic window of the Ninth Realm back then, Gu Chen has always hoped firmly in his heart that one day he will be able to go home.

Gu Chen's tone was very firm, Zhuo Jianjun heard his meaning, and his smile froze for a moment.

He didn't expect that Gu Chen would give up the huge benefits of marrying Jianjun for the sake of a person whom he might never see again in his lifetime.

As the lord of a majestic county, such a choice is really naive and naive!

"If Gu Xiaoyou can't let go of his past wife, if he can see her again in the future, it's okay to let her be his concubine. I believe Mei Xin won't mind."

Unwilling to give up, Lord Clumsy Sword took a step back and suggested.

His granddaughter, he didn't want to wrong her, but she obviously had a deep-rooted affection for the person in front of her, so there was nothing she could do.

Gu Chen cared about his past wife, and he valued love and righteousness, so it's okay to back off a step.

What's more, the possibility of him being able to meet his past wife is almost zero!

Humble Sword Lord gave in, thinking that Gu Chen should accept it, but he shook his head unexpectedly.

"Gu's wife is married to Ming Media. Because I have suffered a lot in these years, it is impossible for Gu to let her wrong herself."

Abandoning Lan Chu to raise the child alone in Canghuang Ancient Star, Gu Chen has always been full of guilt towards her.

Lan Chu was already pregnant when he left Canghuang Ancient Star back then, but in order not to let him have any worries, he insisted on bearing everything alone. Apart from guilt, Gu Chen felt more love for her.

Gu Chen has the world in his heart, and he is determined to do things that ordinary people can't do on the way of cultivating the Tao, but his heart is very small when it comes to matters between men and women. In this life, he can only accommodate one person...

"If you don't wrong her, do you want to wrong my granddaughter? Gu Xiaoyou, do you want the jewel in the palm of my Chu family to be your concubine?"

Humble Sword Lord's face turned completely cold when he heard Gu Chen's words, and he could hardly restrain his anger.

"Miss Chu is very good, and Gu doesn't want to delay her." Gu Chen clearly refused.

boom!

Clumsy Sword Lord couldn't help but patted the table heavily and said. "Stupid! Stupid!"
