Transcending the Nine Heavens

s from the clan to assist Gu Du Xing with his practice.
So, one could well imagine how she must ’ve been as a child…

Gu Yun Lan could ’ve never thought at that time that his daughter would one day quietly sit and do embroidery.

Gu Miao Ling ’s personality had undergone a big change after she was released from the Dragon Prison Cave.
She had started to pay particular attention to a lot of stuff… whether it was the mannerisms of a lady, having an elegant demeanor, the conduct of a wife and a mother, or mothering skills…

She had unexpectedly started to study all of this with diligence.

And, this had left Gu Yun Lan amazed for a long time.

It was just that Gu Miao Ling knew one thing in her heart; [I ’ll be Little Brother ’s wife… Therefore, I want to be the best wife in the world! I want his brothers to be envious of him!]

[I may not be the most attractive among his brothers ’ wives.
But, I must do my best!]

”Father, look at this lotus.
Isn ’t it very pretty? ” Gu Miao Ling smiled gently as she said, ”I had made a braid on Little Brother ’s head when he was small.
Then, I had tied up two flowers to it.
Doesn ’t this lotus look like that? ”

Gu Yun Lan was stunned.
But, he twirled his beard, and nodded, ”Yes! ”

The fact was that he was bewildered in his heart; [You went as far as to braid Du Xing ’s hair when he was a kid? How did I not know?]

”Little Brother has been gone for a long time.
I wonder how he ’s doing now… ” Gu Miao Ling looked at the lotus flower, and seemed entranced.
A long time passed.
Then, she turned her head, and looked at her father.
She only felt her heartstrings being plucked.
Her heart ached as she said, ”Father, your hair is turning white so fast.
I remember that your hair was jet-black when I saw you around this time of the season last year. ”

Gu Yun Lan chuckled, ”My daughter has reached a marriageable age.
So, how can the father not be old? ” He said in his heart, [My hair…
has been white for a long time now.
My hair had turned white the day the corpses of your two good-for-nothing elder brothers were brought back…]

”Miao Ling, wait for the time when Gu Du Xing returns.
I ’ll fulfill my duty… I ’ll get you two married.
And then… I ’ll transfer the family authority to Du Xing, and comfortably enjoy my remaining years in retirement.
I ’ll spend my days leisurely and care-freely.
What do you say? ”

Gu Miao Ling ’s rosy cheeks blushed hard.
She then lowered her head slightly, and angrily said, ”Father, why are you asking me if you ’ve already planned? ”

Gu Yun Lan smiled mischievously, and teased her, ”It can ’t be helped.
After all, I can ’t overlook my daughter practicing hard every day to be a good wife and loving mother, can I? ”

Gu Miao Ling instantly became bashful, and pouted playfully.

”Miao Ling, you won ’t hold any grudges against your father for keeping you imprisoned for several years, right? ” Gu Yun Lan hesitated for a while before he was finally able to ask.

”Of course… there are no grudges! ” Gu Miao Ling lowered her head, and replied.
She then said in her heart, [I don ’t hold any grudges against you.
Instead, I ’m somewhat thankful.
I don ’t know when that stupid goose would ’ve noticed my feelings for him if not for those years…]

Both the Father and the Daughter were speechless.
Then, they faintly heard a long and loud shout from a distant place.
This shout had come-in like a blast.
It had swept past a distance of dozens of miles before falling into their ears.
And, it was getting closer and closer…

The Father and the Daughter stood up at the same time.
Gu Yun Lan wrinkled his brows, and thought, [Why does this voice sound so familiar?]

However, Gu Miao Ling ’s body had started to shake.
In fact, she was finding it difficult to stand still.
Then, the brocade-scarf in her hand fell to the ground with a thud sound, and she muttered, ”It ’s him! Little Brother has returned! ”

She suddenly burst into tears!

This shout was getting closer and closer… It seemed as if this person was running very fast.
It seemed as if he had been dozens of miles away one moment, and had already reached the clan ’s entrance the next moment!

Someone slammed the gate, and came-in with a bang sound.

Then, the guard ’s yell was heard from afar, ”Young Lord, you ’re back! ”

The guard ’s voice was full of excitement.

Gu Du Xing gave a smile to the guard.
Then, he disappeared like a gust of wind.

The Father and Daughter saw a thunderbolt-like sword-light flash in midair as they stood in the garden.
However, this sword-light disappeared the next instant.
They then looked in the direction in which it had disappeared.
It was hastily and impatiently rushing in the direction of the Dragon Prison Cave.

An excited shout was heard the very next moment, ”Sister Xiao Miao!~~ ”

Gu Miao Ling ’s heart filled with happiness.
And, her entire face turned red.

”This silly boy… He thinks that his Sister Xiao Miao is still imprisoned in the Dragon Prison Cave. ” Gu Yun Lan snorted.
Then, he said in an annoyed manner, ”This rascal! He hasn ’t come back in such a long time.
But, he didn ’t come to greet me first now that he ’s finally back… He went straight for the one his heart is set on… his dear Sister Xiao Miao… ”

Gu Miao Ling looked very bashful.
She angrily said, ”Dad! What are you saying? ”

Gu Yun Lan smiled mischievously, and rubbed his beard.
But then, he suddenly became startled, ”How could that sword-light be so fast? A King can ’t possibly have such fast speed… Even I don ’t have such speed… And, I ’m a Seventh Grade Martial King… ”

Gu Miao Ling said in a consoling manner, ”Father, I think that it has nothing to do with high cultivation.
And, don ’t fret… You ’ve only crossed 50 this year.
So, the cultivation of Seventh Grade King Level can also be considered as a great achievement… ”

Gu Yun Lan ’s face turned black, ”Are you complimenting me? Or, are you mocking me? Gu Du Xing is 20 years old, but he has already broken through to the King Level.
But, I ’m over 50 now.
And, Seventh Grade King Level is great achievement for me?! ”

Gu Yun Lan ’s impression of Gu Du Xing was still stuck at the rumor which said that he had just broken through to King Level… And, that ’s because they had only received news of him when their troops had returned from the Northern Wilderness.

Gu Miao Ling ’s eyebrows curled.
She couldn ’t help but smile.

A person ’s figure flashed, and Gu Du Xing came over while dashing with a ’whoosh ’ sound.
Then, he called out in a pleasantly surprised manner, ”Sister Xiao Miao, I ’ve come back! Sister Xiao Miao…
did you come out? ”

[That was a bit stupid.
You ’re standing here… So, is there a need to proclaim that you ’re back?]

[And, I ’m in front of you… So, can ’t you see that I ’ve come out?]
