Thus, Dongfang Yu had never talked about her origins since marrying into
the Gu family. At that time, with Gu Tian the peerless genius protecting
her, Old Man Gu did not dare to bully Dongfang Yu at all…

Hearing this, Old Man Gu’s second son unconsciously lowered his head.
He could never deny that he had something to do with his older
brother’s death…

“General.”

It was at this time that a voice hurriedly carried in from outside, and
following that, a servant of the Gu family ran in. He was panting as he
said: “Master, the young master of the Dongfang family is here for a
visit.”

Dongfang family?

Old Man Gu was startled for a moment before he sat down with a swoosh. He
asked excitedly: “What did you say? The young master of the Dongfang
family is here for a visit?”

Although the Dongfang family was not as powerful as the Weapon Refining
Sect, they were close enough. The Gu family had just offended the Weapon
Refining Sect. If they managed to get the support of the Dongfang family,
even the Weapon Refining Sect would need to consider carefully before
taking action against them.

Furthermore, striking up a relationship with the Dongfangs would only
bring him numerous benefits.

“Quickly, let him in.”

Old Man Gu quickly restrained his emotions and said with surprise.

Just as he had finished speaking, the sound of gentle laughter sounded
from outside the door. As everyone raised their heads and looked over,
they saw a man dressed in luxurious clothes enter lightly. He was holding
a fan in his hands, and a warm, gentle smile was on that handsome face of
his.

“General Gu, I hope you won’t take offense to my sudden visit.”

Old Man Gu stood up quickly. His old face was blooming with a bright
smile, his fawning air seemed as if he were anxious to make Dongfang
Shaoze his own grandson.

“Gentleman Dongfang, we are greatly honoured by your visit. Do you have
any business with us?”

“Oh~?” Dongfang Shaoze raised his brows lightly, deliberately
dragging out the sound, before saying with some surprise, “The general
doesn’t know of the purpose for my visit?”

“This…”

Old Man Gu was somewhat confused, he looked at Dongfang Shaoze in
bewilderment, “This old man is indeed unclear of the purpose for
Dongfang Shaoze’s visit.”

“It’s like this,” Dongfang Shaoze raised the corner of his lips,
and opened his fan with a sweep of his hands, “This young master has
long been a good friend of Gu Tian and his wife. However, I have not seen
them for some time after cultivating behind closed doors for many years.
After finally coming out of closed door cultivation, I then heard that
they had already passed away.”

Speaking up to here, Dongfang Shaoze shook his head regretfully.

He was not faking his regret, but was instead expressing the regret from
within his heart. Towards Gu Tian and his own sister, he only held
admiration. It was a pity that two geniuses of such caliber had fallen
just like that…

“Back then, Yu-jie had even become my sworn elder sister, but as a
younger brother, I didn’t even get to see them for the last time. I
wonder if General Gu could take me to bid farewell to my sister?”

If it weren’t for those people watching the Dongfang family closely,
then Dongfang Shaoze would have made a giant fuss at the Gu family, and
he would not have had to use the identity of a sworn brother to appear
here…

However, he could finally call her jiejie in front of the Gu family, and
it could be counted as returning his sister’s identity…

Old Man Gu froze for a moment, before belatedly saying: “Although
they’ve already died, we didn’t find their corpses, so…”

“Even without a corpse, there should still be a memorial grave. Would
you allow me to pay my respects there?”

General Gu’s expression turned ugly bit by bit, but he was unable to
reply to Dongfang Shaoze’s words.

That bitch had actually become sworn siblings with the young master of
the Dongfang family, and had even hidden this fact. If he had known
earlier that there was a connection to the Dongfang family like this, how
would the Gu family have fallen to such a level?

TL Note: -jie/jiejie = elder sister.
