Gu Changye, the eldest grandson of the Qingyun Gu family, was enlightened at the age of three and refined his energy at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he was hailed as "a once-in-a-hundred-year swordsmanship prodigy".
When he was fifteen years old, in order to save his younger brother in the family secret realm, he forcibly activated the forbidden technique. His spiritual veins collapsed, and his cultivation dropped from the seventh level of foundation building to the second level of Qi refining, and he became the laughing stock of the whole city.
In the same year, his fiancée Su came to the door with a divorce notice from Zhennan Palace and broke the engagement in public.
In the same year, his father Gu Yuan disappeared while tracking down the remnants of the Demon Cult in the East China Sea, and his life and death are unknown.
In the same year, my mother became ill due to worry and could not find any medicine. After staying in bed for three years, she breathed her last at midnight last night.
——That was three sticks of incense before.
Now, the mourning hall has not been set up, the coffin has not been prepared, and his mother's body is still lying on the bed behind him, and its body temperature has not yet dissipated.
Outside the door, the voice of the family patriarch was as cold as the frost on the twelfth lunar month:
"Gu Changye, how long will you keep your filial piety? Everyone in the assembly hall is waiting for you to sign the letter of resignation giving up the throne."
He didn't look back.
He just looked at his mother's hand that tightly grasped his wrist before she died - the joints were white and did not loosen until her death.
She only said seven words before leaving:
"Stay alive... Take care of your mother."
What to see? She didn't finish.
Gu Changye gently put his cold hand into the quilt, then stood up and opened the door.
There is no sunlight outside the door.
The sky in Qingyun City in March was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to collapse.
He knew that from this moment on, he was the only one left.
