Chapter 191: Confess
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Zhicheng waved his sleeve in anger and rebuked, âShut up! Look at the son you raised! Using such despicable means as poisoning during the selection match!â
...
With just one sentence, Gu Jinrongâs guilt was sealed.
Even the Gu familyâs patriarch said so; no matter how Gu Zhixin tried to defend himself, it appeared feeble.
Gu Qingluanâs lips curved slightly.
Sure enough, Gu Zhicheng always cared about his own interests.
This time, the rift between the two brothers in the Gu family was not so easily reconciled.
Gu Qingluan glanced at the frenzied and helpless Gu Jinrong and casually said, âI can spare his life, as long as he admits to poisoning Xiaonan and kowtows three times to apologize to him.â
Gu Zhicheng was afraid she might change her mind and quickly nodded, âAlright!â
He walked a few steps in front of Gu Jinrong and slapped him hard.
Gu Jinrong was stunned by the blow, but it brought him back from his insanity.
âBeast! You dared to harm your own kin! Now kneel down and apologize to Xiaonan!â Gu Zhichengâs face turned iron-gray.
âImpossible!â Gu Jinrongâs face turned pale.
âIf you donât want to die, kneel down!â
Gu Jinrong heard Gu Zhichengâs words echoing in his mind, âAs long as you cling to life, there is hope for revenge! Unless youâve given up on living altogether! In that case, I wonât stand in your way!â
To live?
He was already a useless person. What difference did it make to be alive? Could he take revenge?
âGu Qingluan was able to go from trash to a Saint; why canât it happen to you?â
Gu Zhichengâs words ignited a glimmer of hope in Gu Jinrongâs dim eyes.
Thatâs right, if Gu Qingluan could, why couldnât he?
To be alive meant there was hope!
Gu Jinrong reluctantly knelt before Gu Xiaonan, lowering his proud head. âI was wrong! 1 shouldnât have resorted to such despicable means to win the competition and harm you!â
The crowd burst into a flurry of discussions.
It was one thing for others to say it, but to hear Gu Jinrong confess it himself was another matter.
Although there was coercion involved, who would willingly bear a false accusation?
âI canât believe it â Third Young Master Gu resorted to such means just to win!â
âFortunately, Gu Xiaonan is powerful; otherwise, he would have lost his arcane power.â
âThis scumbag! First Lady Gu, donât go easy on him, kill him!â
âExactly! Kill him! So he canât harm others again!â
âDonât worry; heâs already facing the consequences. Didnât the royal physician say it? Breaking Spirit Powder causes a complete loss of arcane power and might even turn him into a useless person. A prodigy of the Heavenly Realm reduced to a waste! Heâs better off dead!â
âCome to think of it, sparing his life is the best punishment for him.â
As cries of mockery and contempt echoed around, Gu Jinrongâs face turned sickly pale.
In an unnoticed corner, Gu Jinyue had been watching the whole time, unable to speak but shedding tears.
She was the culprit behind her brotherâs misfortune!
But she believed it was Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan who harmed both herself and her brother!
Gu Qingluan!
Gu Xiaonan!
Iâll never coexist with you two!
Now that Gu Jinrong had confessed, the truth was revealed.
Qitian Yu announced that Gu Xiaonan was the winner of the competition, and he declared that Gu Jinrong was no longer qualified to participate in the selection matches.
Cheers erupted from all sides.
Gu Xiaonan grabbed Gu Qingluanâs hand, full of excitement. âMother, 1 won! Am 1 amazing?â
âYou are amazing!â Gu Qingluan smiled and didnât look at the Gu family anymore. She held her sonâs hand and left the arena.
Little Yuanxi had already led Xiao Bai and Xiao Mei down ahead of them.
Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan returned to their seats.
The latter hugged Yuanxi tightly. âYuanxi, thank you for helping me! Your performance was awesome!â
âItâs nothing. It was mainly Xiao Bai and Xiao Mei; they found the Breaking Spirit Powder so quickly.â
A pair of watery eyes uncontrollably looked at Gu Qingluan.
The adorable appearance was a far cry from the calm and composed demeanor on stage. It exuded a gentle charm..
