Chapter 188 Family and Relatives
Looking at Gu Rong's big hand, Gu You shrank his head and dodged backwards, just avoiding Gu Rong's action.
Gu Rong, who had not thought that Gu You would avoid it, touched nothing and left it in the air awkwardly.
Gu You asked: "Your Majesty Gu Douluo, do you know the origin of this pendant?"
Gu Rong calmly withdrew his hand and explained: "Xiao You, can I call you that?"
Gu You nodded, and Gu Rong continued: "Xiao You, you are the descendant of my brother, that is, my great-grandson."
"You can just call me great-grandfather."
Looking at the tall Gu You, Gu Rong's eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he saw the figure of his own brother who waved goodbye to him and embarked on an adventure alone.
"Brother?" Gu You asked again: "Your Majesty Gu Douluo, do you know the origin of this pendant?"
Hearing Gu You's words, Gu Rong looked unhappy, but he only thought that Gu You was frightened by this incident, so he was like this. So he said carefully: "The pendant in your hand was given to your grandfather by me when I said goodbye to him."
"Is your grandfather okay?"
Hearing what Gu Douluo said, Gu You knew that he must have made a mistake, so he replied: "My grandfather is fine, but I was adopted by my grandfather."
"Adopted?" Gu Rong suddenly realized something, and a bad premonition appeared in 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 that he found it next to me when he picked me up."
Hearing Gu You's answer word by word, Gu Rong was like being struck by a bolt from the blue. He lowered his head and his whole body trembled slightly.
I thought that I would be able to see my brother again after I hadn't seen him for a long time if I had found his brother's descendants. As a result, Gu You's words directly shattered his dream.
'My brother's descendants are orphans. '
This sentence has been hovering in Gu Rong's mind, making him dizzy and almost falling to the ground.
Gu Rong had no children and always treated Ning Rongrong as his own, pouring all his love for the child into Ning Rongrong. Now he suddenly found a genius who was very likely to be 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 iron heart of the Title Douluo was directly pierced, and Gu Rong hugged Gu You, and the tears that had not been shed since he parted with his brother burst out.
"Child, you have worked hard all these years." Gu Rong said with a sob. 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 is Gu You.
Even Chen Xin, who had already decided to devote his life to the sword, was moved by the scene in front of him when he saw his old friend like this.
Gu You gently broke away from Gu Rong's embrace and asked, "Can you give it back to me?"
Gu You pointed to the pendant held in the palm of Gu Douluo's hand, and Gu Rong gently hung the pendant around Gu You's neck. Gu You only heard: "Thank you, His Majesty Bone Douluo, thank you for telling me my life story. It's getting late now, and there is a team training this afternoon."
"Master Ning, His Majesty Sword Douluo, His Majesty Bone Douluo, then 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 of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect were left, staring at the two people leaving in amazement.
After walking for a long time, Tang San, who felt that the three people had not caught up, whispered: "Xiao You. Why are you leaving?"
Tang San didn't understand why Gu You chose to leave. This is a relative with the same blood. In Tang San's opinion, even if there is an arrangement in the afternoon, the time can be postponed. It is more important to meet with relatives.
"Xiao San," Gu You strode forward without looking back, "Maybe that Bone Douluo is indeed my relative, and I have the same blood."
"But he is not my family."
"Grandpa Jack, you, Xiao Wu, and Lanta, the four of you are my family."
When Gu You heard Gu Rong say that he was related to him, there was actually a moment when Gu You could not suppress his ecstasy.
Being able to have a little relationship with a Titled Douluo, and a Titled Douluo who protects the sect of the richest sect, is this different from "One day a lawyer finds you and says that a distant relative whose name you don't remember has passed away, and the will will give you three houses, a villa and tens of millions of savings under his name"?
As long as Gu You nods, with his innate full soul power talent, plus his contribution to changing the combat method of auxiliary soul masters, it will be no problem for him to directly become the first person under Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Moreover, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was strong enough, so Gu You no longer had to hide his identity as "Gu You". With this identity, it was no problem for him to kill Ning Rongrong and become the top of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Relying on the financial resources and connections of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, his research path was directly on the fast track, and he could use and throw away the soul guides and precious metals for Tang San's research.
Whether it was the feelings of this body or the reason to satisfy his research desire, Gu You had no reason to refuse this tempting reason.
But, what about old Jack?
The old Jack who, in order to take care of the newborn, went door to door to ask if there was milk. The old Jack who ran to borrow a car to send himself to the Wuhun Hall when he wanted to read a book. The old Jack who took himself to the city clinic in the heavy snow when he was sick and had a fever that winter. The old Jack who personally handed this pendant to him.
What should he do?
If Gu You chooses Gu Rong, it is equivalent to choosing the Qibao 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 wanted to know what Lan Xuanyu would call his adoptive father Lan Xiao and biological father Tang Wulin if he met them at the same time in the future. If faced with a tram problem, would you choose to save Lan Xiao or Tang Wulin?
Perhaps he could bring Old Jack to the Qibao Glazed Sect's headquarters and protect him to prevent the fallen from harming him. You can also choose to give Old Jack a large amount of money to let him spend his remaining years peacefully.
But Guyou can't do this kind of thing. He could use his advanced knowledge to mock everyone without moral integrity, and he could also make up stories to defraud Ning Rongrong of a large amount of money. But on this issue, which he considers the bottom line, he is unwilling to break through the bottom line for the sake of better development.
If you can break through the bottom line once, you can break through it a second time until there is no bottom line.
Gu You doesn't believe that he can still be his past self after breaking through the bottom line. Then, the best thing to do is to refuse and repay the Gu family in your own way.
Maybe this is a bit pretentious and looks stupid to everyone. Gu You felt that since he had talent and was willing to work hard, why not rely on himself.
It may be difficult, you may encounter many difficulties, and of course you may also take long detours. But isn’t taking a long detour 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 this."
"No matter who he is, even if he has the same blood as me. But in my heart, you are the family that is 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 were forced 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 me birth and giving me the talent to become a soul master. Therefore, I will repay this kindness to Bone Douluo."
"But, I am Gu You from Holy Soul Village outside Notting City. My home is the small house in 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 one who broke the steamed buns in half and gave half to you and half to me. Long Jack.”
"My goal, in addition to changing the world with you, is to make the village proud of me."
Gu You turned around and continued moving forward resolutely, but Tang San stopped.
Looking at Gu You striding forward in front of him, Tang San recalled what Gu You had said after awakening his martial spirit.
‘I will change the name of the Holy Soul Village beyond the legendary Soul Saint in the past, and change the Holy Soul Village to a village named after my level. ’
Because they were fishing at that time, Tang San thought Gu You was just joking. If he really transcends Soul Saint, whether he will return to this small village is also a question.
‘Change the world. It has 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 extended to him.
That was the first time in Tang San's life that someone stretched out a hand to him, and he held it tightly.
With a calm smile, Tang San quickly followed Gu You's progress.
"Brother You, Third Brother, why are you so slow?" Xiao Wu complained when she saw Gu You and Tang San approaching.
There was actually quite a lot of movement in Gu You just now, but Ning Fengzhi deployed a layer of soul power in advance to block the movement, so no one noticed it.
"Really, if you have something to do, just say it without going to get food. If Zhuqing and I weren't so fast, we would both be hungry today."
Xiao Wu muttered and complained, took out four lunch boxes from the soul guide, and handed them to Gu You and Tang San with a flash of fire: "Here, your portion."
Looking at Xiao Wu in front of him, Gu You standing beside him, Lan Ta walking towards him, 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 boxes with one hand, and pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers with the other hand, pretending to choke and said: "The child has finally grown up. Now that I am older, I am no longer the bad boy who waited for my elder brother to bring me food. I feel sorry for my elder brother.”
"Get out of here." Xiao Wu kicked Gu You in the calf. Because he was worried that the rice would be spilled, he just kicked her lightly, then turned around and walked towards Ning Rongrong with a pout.
Gu You smiled slightly, took the chopsticks handed over by Lanta, opened the lunch box and started eating.
………
"Old Bones..."
The three of them looked at Gu You's leaving figure, and Chen Xin looked at his old friend with some worry.
Gu Rong had a look of confusion in his eyes, looking at the back of Gu You who was gradually moving away. He didn't know why Gu You left.
He was obviously his last relative in the world, but why did he just turn around and leave like this, as if he didn't care at all?
Ning Fengzhi comforted him: "Uncle Gu, maybe this incident was too sudden and Xiaoyou couldn't accept it all at once, so that's why he behaved like this."
Chen Xin also nodded. He didn't know if Gu You thought so. Anyway, regardless of whether he did, let Gu Rong cheer up first.
"We will give him some time to calm down first, and then invite him to come and sit at our house."
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 matter of Gu You was the most emotionally volatile thing in the past thirty years.
"Feng Zhi, Jian Ren, I'm fine." Gu Rong put on a smile again and 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. This matter needs to be considered in the long run."
It was not easy for a top-notch strong attack spirit master who was so deeply entangled with the sect to appear. Whether for the happiness of his daughter or for the future of the sect, Ning Fengzhi would not let Gu You leave like this.
The scene of Gu You growing up again under Gu Rong's momentum was still vivid in his mind. That weird black lightning-like thing, even as a level 79 soul saint, he felt a strange pressure.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu You was very likely related to Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi would have let Jian Douluo and Gu Douluo forcibly bring him back to the sect and slowly cultivate their relationship.
'That's good, that's good. As long as he slowly improves his favorability towards the sect, his future will definitely return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Add to that Tang San who can perform the martial soul fusion technique beside him, and Rongrong, the future of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is bright. '
Ning Fengzhi, who was walking in the front, once again showed a smile that the two Titled Douluos could not see, which they evaluated as "unfriendly".
Although this time it was really not unfriendly.
"Huh, full."
After eating the last full lunch box, Gu You finally felt comfortable. Gu You, who didn't know that he had affected Gu Douluo's mood, had long forgotten about this matter, because he still had a task to complete next.
Gu You clapped his hands, gathered everyone together, and said: "Everyone, this afternoon's practice is cancelled, everyone go back to the classroom."
"We have to start preparing for the team battle."

ps: The above about family and relatives is only my personal opinion.
In my opinion, many times, the bond between family members is not blood, but more from the "heart". Especially as a time traveler, the protagonist cares more about his feelings than blood.
I described so many bonds between Old Jack and the protagonist before, why didn't anyone see it?
I feel that it caused public outrage yesterday, so I temporarily adjusted the update time today, and will update at the original time tomorrow. I lost the last mini-game, and it seems that I won this round. Those who lose remember to vote (laughs).
The last version of BML, "Unforgettable Tonight", really made me cry. I have heard every song of SOS Corps, Gundam Seed, Slam Dunk, Cardcaptor Sakura, Bird Song, and Macross. There is even a "Passionate Duelist" in it. These are all part of my life. I have also changed from a little second dimension to an old second dimension.
