Chapter 128: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
As the saying goes, strike the snake at its vital point.
One must find the key point.
And what Gu Qingheng said at this moment directly hit Tang Haocang’s core.
Although having a future son-in-law who would be an official in the imperial court had its own troubles.
However, with such a capable son-in-law, one could look forward to it.
Especially if Gu Qingheng truly became a powerful official in the imperial court, marrying him would be extremely fitting for Tang Haocang’s daughter!
According to Tang Haocang’s original thoughts, the person who could match his daughter should be as amazing as Gu Yu. However, he knew that his daughter was no match for someone as difficult to control as Gu Yu.
In the world, how many people were as strong as Gu Mengyao, who could completely subdue Gu Yu!
His daughter was better off living a comfortable life.
Therefore, he needed to find a good man who doted on his daughter.
Tang Haocang had not had high expectations for this young man Gu Qingheng before.
Besides being too young, Gu Qingheng looked weak, unable to carry anything and unable to lift anything. He also didn’t have any medical skills, making him too ordinary.
Even though his daughter had told him that Gu Qingheng was very good at his studies.
Tang Haocang had not taken it to heart. After all, what use was being good at studies!
However, hearing Gu Yu talk about Gu Qingheng’s future now, it was as if Tang Haocang had been suddenly enlightened!
Gu Qingheng possessed very good growth potential.
Now, it all depended on how he developed in the future!
“Haha, what Qingheng said is indeed very good. If it can truly be done like this, I can also rest assured and entrust my daughter to him.”
“Uncle Tang, I will definitely not disappoint you.”
Seeing Tang Haocang’s relaxed expression, Gu Qingheng also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the crisis had been averted!
Next time, he would absolutely not joke about marrying into the family again!
Today, he almost married into the Tang Sect.
Gu Yu saw his younger brother-in-law’s nervous appearance and couldn’t help but laugh unkindly. He wasn’t surprised by Tang Haocang’s choice.
If it were him, he wouldn’t easily give up on a prospective son-in-law with such potential as Gu Qingheng.
Of course, Gu Qingheng still had to show his strength first.
Saying anything now was just empty talk.
Therefore, Gu Qingheng would have to work hard himself in the future, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to marry a wife.
“The few youngsters who completed the mission have arrived!”
At this moment, Tang Lian and the others finally arrived, making Gu Qingheng stop thinking about anything else and immediately turn his gaze to the front.
His Sister Lian was about to appear!
It was truly exciting!
“Everyone be quiet!”
However, as Gu Qingheng looked up with anticipation, the first person to appear was not Tang Lian, but an old man nearing a hundred years old.
His imposing voice made everyone present shut their mouths obediently, not daring to say another word.
Youngsters must show respect to the elder generation of the Tang Sect.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, the old man nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak.
“I believe you all know the reason for summoning you here today… In the process of the Tang Sect’s continuous growth, there have been many exceptionally talented individuals! And now, in the mission training in the Seven Absolute Valley, which is the forbidden area of the Tang Sect, three people have successfully completed the mission! Especially Tang Lian, who turned the tide at a critical moment and saved her companions.”
As the old man spoke, the three also appeared before everyone.
And the leader was undoubtedly Tang Lian.
After only a short time, Tang Lian had become much more mature. Perhaps it was due to going through difficult trials. With her rapid growth in height, she now looked like an adult.
This made Gu Yu momentarily stunned when he first saw Tang Lian.
Gu Qingheng was even more stunned on the spot, his eyes fixed intently on Tang Lian’s face. His expression changed in countless ways, making it impossible for Gu Yu to fathom what his younger brother-in-law was thinking.
Could it be that Tang Lian’s significant change made Gu Qingheng feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart!
If that were the case, he would have to act as a confidant big brother and comfort his younger brother-in-law later.
“Qingheng, after not seeing Tang Lian for two years, what are your thoughts?”
“Yes.
As Tang Lian was expressing her thoughts, Gu Yu was also quietly asking his younger brother-in-law, wanting to confirm Gu Qingheng’s psychological state.
Then he would decide whether he needed to comfort him later.
“Sister Lian is getting more and more beautiful! I’m completely smitten with her. Why did she become so beautiful! Look at the gaze of the men around her, it makes me want to hide Sister Lian away!”
“Is that all?”
“What else could it be?”
However, it was not quite what Gu Yu had expected.
As Gu Qingheng spoke, his face showed a shy and helpless expression. Combined with his words, it made Gu Yu speechless and twitch the corner of his mouth. He thought that his younger brother-in-law was indeed extraordinary!
A normal person, upon seeing Tang Lian transform into this appearance, would surely have questions.
After all, when she was sent to the Tang Sect, she was still an innocent and lively little girl.
And now, she had become excessively mature!
But Gu Qingheng seemed to have put on a filter, completely beautifying Tang Lian’s appearance.
It was truly a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder!
“Alright, as long as you’re happy.”
Since his younger brother-in-law didn’t need comfort, Gu Yu was happy to be at ease.
Then, he continued to look up at Tang Lian, noticing that they were nearing the conclusion.
In general, this gathering today was to allow Tang Lian and the other two to show their faces in front of everyone, similar to a school commendation meeting.
After it ended, everyone immediately dispersed. The few people who wanted to talk to Tang Lian were also forced back by Tang Haocang’s intense gaze, not daring to approach Tang Lian half a step.
Seeing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but feel amused.
It seemed that Tang Haocang wasn’t targeting only Gu Qingheng.
Any opposite sex who wanted to approach Tang Lian would be thoroughly scrutinized by Tang Haocang, which resulted in many people being unable to withstand his gaze and not daring to get any closer to Tang Lian.
This was not bad, at least during the time when Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian couldn’t meet, no other man would interfere.
At this moment, Gu Qingheng was not among those who were intimidated. After the exchange with Tang Haocang just now, he had already gained the qualification to meet Tang Lian!
This made Gu Qingheng extremely excited. He immediately held the gift he had prepared in his hand, ready to present it directly when he walked up to Tang Lian.
“Tang Lian, to celebrate our safe return, how about we go out for a meal! My treat!”
However, just as Gu Qingheng approached Tang Lian, he heard a young boy standing next to Tang Lian suddenly speak, offering to treat them.
