Chapter 3344: If All Else Fails, We Can Only Win Them Over with Virtue
Gu Hanyu explained her relationship with Lin Moyu in detail, without concealing anything.
Gu Hanyu knew very well that an old fox like Gu Cang, who had lived for a million years, would certainly discover any deception on her part.
After listening, Gu Cang frowned even more deeply, "The Intertwined Branch... it was actually the Intertwined Branch."
"So you donât actually know if you truly fell in love with each other, or if it was due to the effect of the Intertwined Branch."
He was very surprised that Lin Moyu, who was so weak at the time, could push Gu Hanyu to the point of living and dying together.
This was not something an ordinary cultivator could do. In othersâ eyes, it was simply a miracle.
Lin Moyu chuckled lightly, "Thatâs not important anymore, is it?"
Gu Cang sighed, "Indeed, itâs no longer important. The Intertwined Branch is unsolvable."
Lin Moyu said, "Now that you know the cause and effect, letâs discuss what to do next."
Gu Cang coughed lightly, "To be honest, I personally donât object to you two being together. But the ancestral rules are there - the Holy Lord cannot marry outside, and thereâs no precedent for a Holy Lord voluntarily abdicating. Even if we wanted to set a precedent, it would be difficult to get approval."
"Although Iâve lived the longest among the elders, I canât treat the Holy Lord position as my personal domain."
"Young friend Lin, how about this?"
"Iâll go discuss with the other elders and give you an answer later."
Lin Moyu said, "Thatâs appropriate. If we can negotiate a good result, that would naturally be best."
Gu Cang looked at Gu Hanyu, "Hanyu, you havenât seen young friend Lin for many years. Stay here and keep him company. Iâll go discuss with the other elders."
After saying this, Gu Cang quickly walked towards the valley exit.
A cold wind blew in from outside the valley, but turned warm upon entering.
The valley was like spring all year round, very comfortable.
Gu Hanyuâs delicate face bore a strange expression. Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Moyu, as if seeing him for the first time.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Is there something strange about your husband?"
Gu Hanyu asked, "How did you do it?"
Lin Moyu knew what Gu Hanyu meant. For Gu Cang, as a ninth level elder of the Holy Land, to speak so calmly with him and even try to find a solution for him was unimaginable in Gu Hanyuâs eyes.
Who was Gu Cang? He had once battled the world, decisive in killing. Even others in the Holy Land were somewhat afraid of him.
But now he could speak so politely with Lin Moyu. This was incomprehensible to Gu Hanyu.
Gu Hanyu almost thought Lin Moyu was Gu Cangâs illegitimate son.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Sit down and have some tea. This is Nine Extremes Glacier Tea. I imagine you donât get to drink it easily usually."
Gu Hanyu frowned and snorted lightly, "With my status as Holy Lord, Nine Extremes Glacier Tea is just daily fare."
At this moment, Little Mei suddenly spoke up, "The Holy Lord position usually only gets to drink second extreme glacier tea, occasionally third extreme."
Gu Hanyu was slightly stunned, "Little girl, whatâs your name?"
Little Mei stood up and bowed to Gu Hanyu, "Little Mei greets Teacher Mother Hanyu."
Lin Moyu said, "Little Mei is my disciple. Isnât she quite clever?"
Gu Hanyu nodded, "She does seem clever."
As she spoke, she took out a jade token, clearly a good magical treasure, "This is a welcome gift for you."
Gu Hanyu didnât object to Little Meiâs form of address, which meant she accepted her identity as Lin Moyuâs wife.
Little Mei accepted the jade token, her face full of smiles, "Little Mei thanks Teacher Mother. Teacher Mother is so generous, much more generous than Teacher."
Lin Moyu snorted lightly, "You talk too much. Drink your tea!"
Little Mei giggled and continued to act as a bystander.
Lin Moyu brewed a fresh cup of tea for Gu Hanyu and handed it over, "Try it. Seventh extreme glacier tea. You probably canât drink this usually."
Gu Hanyu took the tea but didnât drink it, still staring at Lin Moyu, "How did you really do it?"
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Thatâs a long story. Even if I summarize, it canât be explained quickly. In short, your husband is quite formidable now. Even old Gu has to give me face."
Gu Hanyu didnât pursue the question further. Now wasnât the time to ask about these things. She said softly, "Even if Elder Cang gives you face, the Holy Land isnât his personal domain. He has to respect the opinions of the other elders."
"Especially Elder Ice, who definitely wonât agree. Our matter wonât be easy to resolve."
Gu Hanyuâs words carried some worry. She knew the internal situation of the Cold Water Holy Land like the back of her hand. She knew the personalities of each elder and understood that resolving her matter with Lin Moyu wouldnât be easy.
Lin Moyu said, "Donât worry. Thereâs nothing in this world that canât be resolved. Now that your husband is here, leave the rest to me."
Gu Hanyu said, "Although youâre very impressive, youâre still only at fourth level Dao Venerable..."
Gu Hanyu didnât continue, seemingly not wanting to discourage Lin Moyu about his realm.
Lin Moyu smiled without saying anything, then said softly, "Little Mei, do you know who Elder Ice is?"
Little Mei thought for a moment, "It should be Gu Hanbing. If itâs really her, there might be some trouble. Sheâs very traditional, has a bad temper, and doesnât understand flexibility in many things."
From Little Meiâs brief description, Lin Moyu roughly understood what kind of person Elder Ice was.
Gu Hanbing - just from the name, she should be from Gu Hanyuâs lineage.
Lin Moyu asked again, "Hanyu, is the Elder Ice you mentioned Gu Hanbing?"
Gu Hanyu said, "Little Mei is right. Elder Iceâs temper is indeed not good and she doesnât understand flexibility, but sheâs very good to me. If I beg her, perhaps..."
Little Mei shook her head, "Itâs useless. No matter how good Gu Hanbing is to you in private, on major matters, she wonât show favoritism. Sheâll only handle things officially."
Gu Hanyu was somewhat surprised at how clearly Little Mei knew this.
Lin Moyu asked, "Hanyu, is what Little Mei said correct?"
Gu Hanyu nodded, "Little Mei is right. Elder Ice indeed has such a personality, never showing favoritism on major matters. Moreover, Elder Ice doesnât get along with Elder Cang. Theyâve even had arguments before. She definitely wonât agree to this matter."
While the two were speaking, Lin Moyu had also found information on Gu Hanbing.
Gu Hanbing became a ninth level elder 180,000 years ago.
Little Mei had dissolved her cultivation and reincarnated 200,000 years ago, so in terms of seniority, Little Mei was higher.
When Little Mei reincarnated, Gu Hanbing probably hadnât yet cultivated to ninth level Dao Venerable.
However, judging from Gu Hanbingâs personality that could argue with Gu Cang, she wasnât someone who could be pressured by seniority. Even if Little Mei revealed her identity, it would be useless.
Lin Moyu said softly, "People who stick too rigidly to rules are indeed troublesome. If all else fails, we can only win them over with virtue."
Gu Hanyu almost spat out the glacier tea in her mouth, "Win them over with virtue?"
Lin Moyu said, "Virtue is also a kind of virtue."
He was calling using force to subdue people as winning them over with virtue, even talking about martial virtue. Gu Hanyu was speechless, "Isnât there any other way?"
After all, she was the Holy Lord of the Cold Water Holy Land. She was extremely unwilling to have an unpleasant conflict with the Cold Water Holy Land.
But she also firmly stood on Lin Moyuâs side. Whether it was due to the influence of the Intertwined Branch or not was no longer important.
Lin Moyu said, "Besides Elder Cang and Elder Ice, are there any other ninth level elders in the Holy Land?"
Gu Hanyu said, "Thereâs one more, Elder Chen!"
