Not getting an answer out of the male lead, Ah Zhao asks again: “Do you understand?”
Looking at Gu Po Tian who is lying on the ground, Gu Hao seems to be lost in thought .
“Can one do anything as one pleases if one becomes powerful?” He mutters a question .
Though it sounds a little odd, there is no problem with that .
Ah Zhao nods: “That's correct . ”
Gu Hao ponders .
By now, Ah Zhao has stood before Gu Po Tian .
“He wanted to kill you . What are you going to do with him?” She looks at Gu Hao, who is hesitant .
Gu Po Tian lies on the ground, looking at him with hope .
But right now, that look on Gu Po Tian's face only gets on Gu Hao’s nerves .
He knows well where that look comes from .
Gu Hao turns around . “He’s my blood uncle, after all . Take all his spirit power . ”
He doesn’t like to kill, but he can’t bring himself to repay evil with good either .
Gu Po Tian’s eyes widen, opening his mouth with the little strength that is left to him: “I, I’m the only champion of Gu Clan . If anything happens to me, our clan can be wiped out . Do you really want that to happen?”
Gu Hao remains silent for a moment, then he says suddenly: “What does that have anything to do with me?”
Not looking at Gu Po Tian, he says: “I’ll leave with senior one . From now on, I am not a member of the Gu Clan of Ancient City . You can cross my name off the clan records if you want to, uncle .
I don’t want to sacrifice myself for the greater good of the clan, nor would I like to be revered at the clan temple, enjoying burned joss sticks . And you can’t threaten me with that again, uncle . ”
Looking at Ah Zhao, he adds: “Senior one, what do you think?”
She nods with satisfaction: “The Gu Clan doesn’t deserve such an excellent disciple as you . ”
Reaching out one hand, she points to the air and Gu Po Tian, who was lying feebly on the ground now twists and howls with despair .
“Let's go . ”
Ah Zhao nods at Gu Hao and reaches out for his arm . Then the two of them disappears .
About an hour later, the steward finally finds something is off and enters the room . All he sees is Gu Po Tian, now deprived of his spirit power, lying on the ground .
How the Gu Clan has sunk into chaos is beyond Ah Zhao and Gu Hao’s care .
Right now, they are out of Ancient City, heading towards a secret valley in the south .
Two days pass in a flash .
The further south they go, the hotter it gets .
Since Gu Hao is at the top level of practitioner, he won’t be disturbed by a little heat anymore .
As for Ah Zhao, she is wrapped inside her grey cloak all this time .
When one gets to her level, it doesn’t matter whether it’s extremely cold or hot anymore .
“Senior Zhao” Gu Hao calls Ah Zhao by the name she told him .
“What?” Ah Zhao replies .
“Senior one, are you not a champion?” He asks carefully .
He has been wondering for two days .
Ever since that day when Ah Zhao started a fight with Gu Po Tian like she was playing with a kid, he has an answer in him .
No matter how he thinks, Gu Po Tian and Ah Zhao aren’t on the same level .
Walking ahead of him, Ah Zhao's smiling voice reaches him: “When did I ever say that I was a champion?”
Gu Hao: “ . . . ”
That day, when he saw her floating in the air, he instinctively took her as a champion, since the most powerful kung fu apprentice he has seen in his life is a champion .
Hearing Ah Zhao's confession, his heart flutters .
She’s more powerful than a champion?
