Chapter Forty-Five: So Reluctant!
“Brother-in-law, I want to stay in the Tang Sect.”
“Qingheng, do you have a fever?”
Just as Gu Yu was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a strong gaze, as if it had turned into a physical substance and was staring directly at him, giving him a creepy feeling.
When Gu Yu opened his eyes, he saw Gu Qingheng sitting by the bed with two big dark circles under his eyes, staring intently at Gu Yu without moving, his dazed expression startling him.
Fortunately, seeing that it was Gu Qingheng, Gu Yu’s emotions quickly calmed down.
Then, when he heard what Gu Qingheng said, Gu Yu patted his chest with his hand and looked at him with suspicion, not knowing what his younger brother-in-law was up to now, even saying he wanted to stay in the Tang Sect.
He looked like he hadn’t slept all night.
“Brother-in-law, I’m serious!”
“What, you want to learn from me and become someone else’s live-in son-in-law?”
“That’s not it, I just want to stay here and spend more time with Sister Lian. I feel so reluctant to just leave like this!”
“What’s there to be reluctant about?”
After his emotions calmed down, Gu Yu didn’t get up, but immediately lay back down. He changed to a comfortable position and looked at Gu Qingheng, raising his eyebrows slightly, wondering why his younger brother-in-law was so reluctant.
Actually, it would be better for Tang Lian to stay in the Tang Sect.
Not only did she have new sect leader parents, but the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons were also very suitable for Tang Lian to learn, at least much better than using her hands to steal.
Given Tang Lian’s resolute personality, within a few years of staying in the Tang Sect, she would definitely grow into an outstanding assassin.
Gu Yu shivered just thinking about how Tang Lian’s hands were so fast when she performed her stealing techniques that she could steal someone’s wallet without them noticing. If she used hidden weapons, she might not even react before she was killed by Tang Lian.
Thinking of this scene, Gu Yu couldn’t help but shiver, thinking how fortunate it was that their Gu family had a good relationship with Tang Lian and would not become enemies.
Moreover, Tang Lian might even become the Gu family’s daughter-in-law in the future.
But this would depend on his younger brother-in-law, Gu Qingheng.
“It’s just that I won’t be able to see Sister Lian anymore, and my heart feels so heavy. I keep thinking about tying Sister Lian back, but when I think about it, it’s too unfair to her who just recognized her parents, so I can’t do that.”
“Your idea is too extreme. If Tang Lian stays in the Tang Sect, she will definitely be very outstanding in the future. If you are thinking for Tang Lian, then don’t try to stop it.”
“Mm, that’s why I said I want to stay in the Tang Sect. I won’t stay too long, just for two or three years, and then…”
“Are you sure this isn’t being a live-in son-in-law?”
After hearing his younger brother-in-law’s plan, before he could finish, Gu Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Gu Qingheng said he wouldn’t stay long, meaning two or three years. If he stayed longer, wouldn’t it be ten years!
If that were the case, without him saying anything, Gu Mengyao would nag Gu Qingheng to the point of doubting life.
Gu Mengyao had always wanted Gu Qingheng to participate in the imperial examinations. Not being able to study under Director Qingshan made Gu Mengyao feel uneasy, so she definitely wouldn’t agree to Gu Qingheng wanting to stay here.
As for why Gu Mengyao always wanted Gu Qingheng to take the imperial examinations, and even Gu Yu, it was because she was influenced by the hardship they had suffered before. Gu Mengyao’s wish at that time was to have someone in the family who could achieve success and bring glory to Yang Family Village.
Although Gu Mengyao had achieved this now.
However, seeing her younger brother participate in the imperial examinations had become Gu Mengyao’s wish…
With Gu Yu’s doting on his wife, let alone Gu Mengyao asking him to participate in the imperial examinations, even asking him to join the army would be fine, so only Gu Qingheng was left.
Gu Qingheng had no objection to the imperial examinations, but he didn’t want to give up the opportunity to spend time with Tang Lian in order to prepare for the exams.
The imperial examinations were held every three years, but Sister Lian wasn’t always available!
What if someone else pursued Sister Lian later…
Gu Qingheng couldn’t bear to think about it!
“Brother-in-law, do you think I can stay?”
“Do I need to say it? With your sister here, you’ll be tied back even if you’re bound. So I advise you not to have this idea anymore, because it’s destined to be impossible.”
“…”
Later, as Gu Qingheng looked at Gu Yu with anticipation, Gu Yu smiled and poured a basin of cold water on him.
Although his younger brother-in-law might be seeking encouragement from him, Gu Yu would not fuel Gu Qingheng’s arrogance and then anger Gu Mengyao.
However, when Gu Yu saw Gu Qingheng deflated like a leaky ball, he could no longer lie down.
He sat up from the bed, patted Gu Qingheng on the shoulder, and told him to sleep for a while first. Later, Tang Haocang would come to take them to visit Lianzhou, and Tang Lian would probably take this opportunity to ask Gu Qingheng out alone.
At that time, seeing Gu Qingheng with his panda eyes…
Gu Qingheng, who originally didn’t want to rest, didn’t refute when he heard Gu Yu’s words. Instead, he quickly returned to his bed.
He lay down, closed his eyes, and after only a minute, he fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Yu was amazed by how quickly he fell asleep.
This was too amazing!
And when Gu Yu woke up, he thought he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, but after lying down for only a minute, he fell asleep again.
Just after being very surprised by Gu Qingheng’s quick sleep, when it came to Gu Yu himself, he was no less…
“Yu, wake up!”
“Mmm… Wife, what time is it? It’s too early! I want to sleep a bit longer, until the sun rises…”
“Gu Yu! It’s already lunchtime, are you still sleeping? Get up quickly! Sect Leader Tang has been waiting outside for a long time. If you don’t go out soon, it will be too rude!”
When Gu Mengyao appeared in the room, Gu Yu was still sleeping soundly. Seeing this, Gu Mengyao felt a sense of amusement and helplessness, thinking that Gu Yu was getting better and better at sleeping in.
And it wasn’t just Gu Yu; even Gu Qingheng, who was usually accustomed to waking up early, was still in bed and not awake. This was too abnormal.
Could it be that these two stayed up late?
Indeed, Gu Mengyao’s guess was correct, but she only guessed half of it.
Because only Gu Qingheng stayed up late, and therefore had not gotten up yet.
As for Gu Yu, he was purely being lazy.
Get used to it.
“Is it this time already? I’m sorry, I didn’t notice the time.”
When Gu Yu realized, he immediately opened his eyes, first looked at Gu Mengyao, then turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and finally concluded that he had overslept.
After modestly admitting his mistake, Gu Yu quickly got up, washed and dressed, and also woke Gu Qingheng from his sleep. After the two of them were ready, they went out with Tang Haocang for a late lunch.
Tang Haocang didn’t think much of Gu Yu waking up late, after all, after a month of travel, it was normal for Gu Yu, at his young age, to feel tired.
If possible, Tang Haocang even wanted Gu Yu and the others to rest more; maintaining their health was the most important thing.
However, his youngest daughter, Tang Lian, seemed very anxious, so Tang Haocang had to invite Gu Yu and the others out for a gathering.
After finding Tang Lian again, let alone such a small request, Tang Haocang felt like he could pick stars and the moon.
As long as his daughter was happy!
“Yu, Lian’er said she wants to go out with Qingheng. Will the two of them be all right?”
“What could possibly happen? This is the Tang Sect’s territory. Moreover, I just took a look… there are seven or eight bodyguards in two rows. Forget about anything happening, I don’t think even a fly could get through.”
After Tang Haocang took Gu Yu and the others to finish lunch, Tang Lian immediately proposed to go out with Gu Qingheng alone. Gu Qingheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.
However, the expressions on their faces were somewhat serious.
When Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu heard that they were going out alone, they naturally couldn’t stop them, they could only urge them to be careful.
After the two of them left, Gu Mengyao then shared her worries with Gu Yu… She hadn’t spoken earlier because she was afraid of disturbing their mood, but these worries had been weighing on her heart, making her very uncomfortable, so she could only talk to Gu Yu now.
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s worries, Gu Yu immediately held her hand and assured her that everything would be fine.
After dealing with Jiang Wenguang, there was no need to worry about danger in Lianzhou, at least not for now.
Moreover, the bodyguards chosen by Tang Haocang should be very capable people, so there would be even less chance of anything going wrong.
Next, it was up to Tang Lian to persuade Gu Qingheng.
Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, led by Tang Haocang, began to wander around Lianzhou. With the Sect Leader personally leading the way, some people in Lianzhou who knew Tang Haocang looked at the young man and woman and secretly wondered who these two were, to be personally guided by the Tang Sect Leader!
They were too amazing!
It seemed they were even more powerful than the Sect Leader.
Later, when they entered some shops to pick out items, thanks to Tang Haocang being a living sign, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were not overcharged. In fact, they even received quite a few discounts when settling the bill, and were welcomed to visit again.
Everyone had smiles as bright as old chrysanthemums, which made Gu Mengyao very uncomfortable. On the other hand, Gu Yu’s eyes lit up when he saw the discounts.
Seeing this, Gu Mengyao was stunned, and then her cheeks flushed slightly, thinking how handsome her little husband was!
Even with so many people on the street, none of them could compare to Gu Yu’s good looks.
As Gu Mengyao thought about this, she felt exceptionally proud, causing her to smile all the way. Gu Yu saw this and couldn’t help but wonder what good thing had happened.
After Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao had wandered for half a day and finally returned to the Tang Sect with satisfaction, Tang Lian and Gu Qingheng had already returned, and seeing their happy appearances, it was clear that their conversation had gone well.
Most importantly, Gu Qingheng finally showed a smile.
