The Great Saints had changed their opinions of Jiang Chen dramatically. Firstly, they didn’t hate Jiang Chen even before he showed them these items, he didn’t make the Gu Family suffer any losses be it in cultivators or reputation. Instead, he had helped an elder of their family breakthrough his cultivation bottleneck and brought Wu Ningzhu to Divine Continent.
Secondly, his previous performances in battles and actions were truly astounding. They had been longing for the status quo of the eight families to change. Coincidentally, a rare genius like him emerged and created a mess in the Pure Land.
Thirdly, it didn’t really matter to the elders who Wu Ningzhu would marry. What concerned them the most was the future of the Gu Family, and it just so happened that Jiang Chen was a young genius that had given them a very good impression.
The atmosphere in the inner palace turned heavy when Shi Han’s head was presented. Everyone could feel that Gu Xuantian’s emotion has drastically changed. No matter how firm and tenacious a man is, he wouldn’t be able to maintain his composure if he saw the murderer of his son.
*Bang*
This time, Gu Xuantian was petrified. Strangely, he wasn’t angered, he felt that Jiang Chen’s words were very reasonable. He grew up together with Gu Lan. The relationship between the two of them couldn’t be understood by an outsider. Gu Lan had become a sore spot in his emotions, for imprisoning her because of the rules of the family all these years.
“Besides, what other mistakes had she done? In my opinion, Gu Lan is a person who truly values relationship and kindness. She didn’t care about status and power when she married Wu Tianyang. Not only because Wu Tianyang was her saviour, but because of the feelings that they have for each other. According to my knowledge, your wife is from the Cold Sect right? Since you can marry a woman from an external sect, why can’t Gu Lan marry Wu Tianyang? Let me ask you again, what mistakes had Gu Lan done?”
Jiang Chen’s eyes swept across the hall. His words weren’t only directed to Gu Xuantian, but to all the people who were present. Silence permeated the atmosphere in that moment. They felt that Gu Lan had broken the rules of the family so, she had to accept her punishment. However, they weren’t really sure what mistake she had committed.
Wu Ningzhu’s face was covered with tears. These were the words that had been buried inside of her for many years. Today, they were all spat out from Jiang Chen’s mouth. She felt sorry for her father and mother, who loved each other very much, being separated for so long. She knew very well how her father, Wu Tianyang, passed each day of his life without the company of his lover. This was also the reason she insisted to come to the Divine Continent to search for her mother.
“Gu Xuantian, when I said that you are shameless, it is certainly not to insult you. If it wasn’t for Wu Tianyang saving Gu Lan at that time, you should’ve already lost a sister. Have you ever thought what would happen to you if Gu Lan died? I’m afraid that you will grieve for the rest of your life, just like when your son was killed by Shi Han.”
Jiang Chen’s every word struck Gu Xuantian by surprise. These were the questions that he hadn’t really pondered about. He just thought that Gu Lan had made terrible mistakes.
“Gu Xuantian, let me ask you again, after so many years of imprisoning your sister. Every time you visit your sister, did you ever feel guilty seeing her becoming so thin with each passing day?”
Jiang Chen’s voice became louder, “What mistakes had Gu Lan made?”
