He only knew that Mo Ran and Gu Yixuan were entangled with each other, but he never knew that their entanglement cut so deep, that even with mutual hurt, each had the other in their heart.
He knew there was a love, called tormenting love, which was about remembering each other through hurt, maybe that was the kind of love between them.
He thought, was the love he prided himself on before less than half of what Gu Yixuan had?
Because of that intense love, preferring destruction over not having it, he couldn’t possess it, nor dare to possess it.
Only someone like Gu Yixuan, who held everything beneath his notice, could ignite such a love.
It was not until this moment that Tang Song truly let go of his love for Mo Ran, knowing that there would never be a chance for him in this lifetime.
Suddenly, Tang Song laughed out loud and joked, "Don’t worry, I don’t think he will die so easily. Isn’t there an old saying? A scourge lasts for a thousand years, and I think Gu Yixuan is such a scourge."
Mo Ran was surprised to find Tang Song capable of joking, but it comforted her to hear it. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on n0velfire.net
Yes, he is a scourge, one that should live a thousand years, he won’t die so easily.
Knowing Tang Song wasn’t dead, Mo Ran felt a little more relieved than before.
As long as Gu Yixuan was also safe and sound, then she would have no worries at all.
From now on, every day, Mo Ran waited with anticipation for Gu Yixuan to return, Tang Song had come back, and he would certainly return as well.
At the Gu Mansion, in the back garden’s pavilion, an old man with youthful features and a vigorous spirit held a cane in one hand and was playing a game of Chinese chess with a middle-aged man.
The old man moved his chess pieces swiftly and with precision, pressing the middle-aged man into a corner from whom he had no defense.
"Checkmate!" As a chess piece was placed down, a triumphant smile appeared on the old man’s face.
The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, "Old Master, your chess skills are still as exquisite as ever. I have practiced long and hard, yet you’ve beaten me without leaving me any armor to salvage. I dare not play chess with you again."
Gu Hai laughed heartily, hands resting on his cane, "Then go and practice more. If you’re not going to accompany me in chess, who else in the Gu family dares to play against me?"
The patriarch’s chess skills were famously unmatched within the Gu family.
However, Guan Jin knew, there was one person who had once beaten him. That was the Gu family’s second young master, Gu Yixuan.
But the old master did not like Gu Yixuan, so no one would bring him up in front of him.
