Chapter 440 - Marriage Proposal

Chapter 440 - Marriage Proposal


In the light of dawn, a young man stood next to the door of the hidden chamber. His complexion was extremely handsome, and his temperament was as clear and bright as the moon. He was only standing in that place, but there was a type of extraordinary bearing that people couldn’t ignore. He dazzled the eyes and captivated the heart.


At this moment, he faintly smiled and called out: “Mother, Tianheng has returned.”


The rims of Liu Suyan’s eyes swiftly started to redden, and a line of pearly tears fell down: “Heng’er…”


She couldn’t help rushing over in a few steps and reaching out to gather that young man into her arms.


That person allowed her to draw him into an embrace. He reached out a hand to wipe away the tears for her.


Liu Suyan was emotionally moved. The entire time she held the young man, she could hardly let go.


Not long after, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside again. This time around, the one who arrived was a middle-aged and dignified man. He discovered something the instant he entered, and suddenly came to his wife’s side. His body trembled: “Tianheng? How did you come back?”


When all was said and done, he was still the head of the household. He wasn’t so emotional that he had difficulties speaking like Liu Suyan: “Could it be that something happened?”


The first concern of this pair of father and mother was still the safety of their eldest son.


Gu Zuo watched from the side, and felt happiness in his heart. But at this very moment, he was no longer as envious as he was in the beginning. It was because his own family was already reunited. His dad and father showed their own care and concern for him.


Gongyi Tianheng’s gaze warmed: “Not at all. Father, mother. There’s no need to worry.” He smiled, “Tianheng already came back last night, and discussed an important matter with grandfather. Later on, this matter will to be brought up with the both of you.”


At this time, Liu Suyan calmed down, and Gongyi Yan was consoled.


So long as nothing bad happened, it would be okay.


Following this, Tianheng didn’t immediately give an explanation to the two people. Instead, he pulled Gu Zuo over, and asked him to meet them: “After Ah Zuo and I left, I was able to swiftly gain a foothold thanks to his medicine refining skills. I was also able to acc.u.mulate a large amount of resources.”


Gu Zuo promptly said: “It’s not like this. Big brother has helped me much more.”


Gu Zuo really thought this way. Apart from what the system gave him, he obtained many other fortuitous encounters with big brother. And if Tianheng wasn’t present, whether he was able to get them was another matter. Even if he did get them, he wasn’t necessarily able to bring them away safely. While he felt that he was of great help to big brother, there were things they couldn’t do without the other — This also made him feel a sense of security.


Of course, since the very beginning, he and big brother never stayed separated for long. What’s more, Gu Zuo knew that big brother was speaking this way right now to improve his good impression…


Gu Zuo observed the proper courtesies with the two. After hesitating, he followed along with Tianheng’s meaning, and called out: “Adoptive father, adoptive mother.”


Gongyi Yan and Liu Suyan originally had a favorable impression of Gu Zuo. Seeing that Tianheng’s trust in him had increased and that they were close to one another, it was only natural that the parents felt even better about him. They promptly responded with affirmations.


Subsequently, Liu Suyan set out the food that she brought over, and everyone gathered to enjoy the meals together. At the same time, Gongyi Yan quickly went out, and gave instructions to have more food prepared.


The family was happy and harmonious. The scene was filled with delight.


Meanwhile, Tianheng secretly transmitted several words to Gu Zuo.


[Ah Zuo.]


[Big brother?]


[Today, we haven’t explained our relationship to my parents yet. I hope Ah Zuo doesn’t mind.]


[Eh? Ah, I don’t mind…]


Gu Zuo really didn’t care about it. He hadn’t made his own preparations either. In addition, he knew that now wasn’t the right time k2014; Their primary objective of coming here was to make arrangements and to bring away some people. This wasn’t the moment to take out their personal matters and deepen the complex situation.


Public matters ought to remain public, and private affairs ought to be kept private.


Moreover, if it wasn’t for his dad and father being a couple, Gu Zuo wouldn’t have let his parents receive such a shocking bolt out of the blue after meeting them without the slightest preparation.


On the contrary, it was Tianheng who felt somewhat apologetic about it.


[After we return to the Central Continent and get everything settled, I’ll explain things to my parents. At that time, is Ah Zuo willing to marry me?]


Gu Zuo blinked his eyes. His face instantly reddened. Fortunately, he promptly remembered that there was a group of elders around him, so he quickly suppressed his emotions and returned to normal.


— He was completely unprepared to be proposed by big brother! What was he supposed to do?!


His voice transmission immediately became a stammering mess. It was a close call. He almost blurted it out loud!


[S-shouldn’t we talk about love and romance first?]


They just started dating. It hadn’t been long, and he already wanted to get married. Wasn’t this a little too fast…


All of a sudden, Tianheng’s voice transmission carried a somewhat gloomy tone.


[This elder brother and Ah Zuo have been getting along for many years. It already feels like where the water flows, a ca.n.a.l is formed. As it turns out, Ah Zuo isn’t willing.]


Gu Zuo was worried, and promptly transmitted a reply.


[No, no! I’m not unwilling!]


Tianheng locked gazes with Gu Zuo.


[Then, is Ah Zuo willing?]


[I am… But, how does big brother intend to get married?]


Suddenly, a thought arose within his heart. His eyes widened.


[Big brother, you’re not thinking about hosting a just and honorable wedding ceremony, right?]


Tianheng naturally knew what a wedding ceremony entailed. Right away, he faintly nodded his head.


[It will be announced to the world, and guests will be invited from far and wide. I will ask our venerable seniors to preside over and officiate the wedding.]


In other words, at the very least, he wanted the people of the Ten Ultimates Region to know that Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo were getting married. In the future, the two of them would be cut-sleeves!


But doing it this way was a little…not too good, right?


Gu Zuo felt helpless.


When all was said and done, marriage was a matter of two people. While he was happy about big brother’s intentions, if it was done right now, it would definitely do more harm than good. There were no doubts that big brother would suppress all directions along the path of martial arts and that he would receive the worship and adoration of the untold ma.s.ses. However, once the two got married with great fanfare, there would certainly be people secretly slandering Tianheng behind his back. Moreover, a large portion of the attention would fall onto this matter instead.


Thinking about such things, Gu Zuo couldn’t help showing it in his eyes.


However, Tianheng’s smiling gaze startled Gu Zuo.


Yes. If he could thinking of something, how couldn’t big brother do the same? It was just that, even though he thought about it, big brother still wanted to do it.


Sure enough, Tianheng’s voice was transmitted into his mind again.


[The words of outsiders are nothing to me.]


Although he liked to plan and scheme, that wasn’t the only thing he knew how to do. It was in his nature to go wild every once in a while.


Indeed, this matter would cause more harm than good. However, since his feelings were already connected with Ah Zuo, and he loved him deeply, Tianheng would never try to cover it up and let Ah Zuo suffer this kind of grievance.


Otherwise, even if Ah Zuo gained a brilliant and outstanding reputation in the future, there would inevitably be people with crooked thoughts who looked down on him.


If such a thing happened, how could he tolerate it?


Gu Zuo’s heart was moved emotionally.


Only, he still felt that it wasn’t appropriate.


Actually, he had heard plenty of malicious rumors and groundless lies since he was a child. If he didn’t have a strong, little heart, how could he have smoothly lived to this age and still be so “optimistic”?


As a result, Gu Zuo almost imperceptibly shook his head.


[There’s no need, big brother. We don’t have to hide it from anyone. If someone asks, we can tell them directly. However, it really isn’t suitable to hold something like a wedding ceremony right now.]


Tianheng was aware of Gu Zuo’s intentions, and lightly sighed.


[Ah Zuo, if we don’t proclaim it to the world and get married, aren’t you worried that a person’s heart will change after a long time? You’ve invested so much into me. Although I want to spend a lifetime with you now, if I develop feelings for someone else one day, what will you do?]


Gu Zuo’s complexion paled. Shortly thereafter, he paused.


[If big brother develops feelings for someone else in the future…then you develop feelings.]


Tianheng’s gaze sank slightly.


Gu Zuo faintly lowered his head.


[Big brother has always been so good to me. Even if I really can’t be your loved one in the future, we’ll still be brothers. I’ll stay by big brother’s side, and help with all my heart. Merely, at that time, it’ll be with a brotherly ident.i.ty… It’ll be just like before. In short, while I won’t share big brother with someone else, a peaceful breakup or something…]


At this point, he was somewhat stuck. He couldn’t keep “speaking”.


But nevertheless, the meaning was accurately conveyed.


The expression in Tianheng’s eyes suddenly turned serene and deep.


[Ah Zuo says this, but is it because you might fall in love with someone else someday?]


Gu Zuo hurriedly replied.


[How could that be possible?! There’s only one person I’ll like in this lifetime.]


His mood became somewhat downcast.


[I just don’t want to make things difficult for big brother…]


For a long while, Tianheng didn’t send another voice transmission.


Gu Zuo’s heart felt nervous.


Big brother shouldn’t be angry, right? But he felt that what he said just now wasn’t wrong either.


While Gu Zuo was feeling uneasy, Tianheng’s gentle voice came again.


[In that case, when does Ah Zuo believe it would be the proper time to get married?]


Gu Zuo stared blankly. Then, he pondered once more.


[If big brother’s strength can halt the casual comments of everyone who knows about this matter, it should be a good time.]


Tianheng sighed.


[Since it’s like this, when I ascend to the pinnacle of the path of martial arts and suppress all directions, I will invite all the people of the wold to come and celebrate the happiness of our marriage.]


These words were spoken with tranquility, but the courage and boldness couldn’t help but cause Gu Zuo’s heart to palpitate.


He slowly calmed his own mood, squeezed his fingers, and lightly nodded to Tianheng.


[Okay. When that day comes, I’ll definitely become the best match for big brother.]


Hence, while their elders were present, the two secretly crossed the Wei River. They silently made a decision on a major turning point in their lives, and didn’t let anyone else find out.


At last, Tianheng gave Gu Zuo a smile.


[Ah Zuo, the Tianlong Guards have arrived.]
