Chapter 503 An Family Martial Training (6)
"Sure, everyone will go," Gu Yelin nodded as he helped Old Lady An cut the fruit.
Hearing the man’s words, An Yiqing felt moved by Old Master Gu’s arrangement, which was very warmhearted. It was just a meeting between the parents of both sides, yet Old Master Gu had gone to great lengths to have all the Gu family members accompany them, a level of attention for An Yiqing and the An family that even a fool could see.
The saying goes, ’the older, the wiser’, and in his protective way, Old Master Gu had proved An Yiqing’s place in the Gu family.
Old Master An was very satisfied with his old friend’s arrangement. Unlike the An family with few members, the Gu family was a large clan, with just the second generation descendants in the main house including Gu Qingming, Gu Zhifeng, and Gu Weijun from three branches. At such a meeting, for his old friend to take it so seriously was enough to put his mind at ease.
"Ah! Old Gu is thoughtful indeed! Your Gu family, being an ancient martial arts family, lives much longer than us ordinary people. Lao San, Grandpa An only asks for one thing, that after a hundred years have passed for our An family, you will take good care of Niuniu. With that, I would rest in peace even in the afterlife!" Old Master An felt a mix of desolation and reluctance. He had lived for more than sixty years, and at his age, after today there may not be a tomorrow. One might be eating one second and breathless the next. Life is precious, and neither Old Master An nor Old Lady An were afraid of death, but they couldn’t bear to part with their little granddaughter they had just recognized.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room grew heavier.
An Yiqing looked at Old Master An and Old Lady An, their eyes red with distress, then at An Zisheng and Kong Shi, who seemed pensive, and felt a sting in her heart.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, don’t be sad. Niuniu has a way to make you live as long as Grandpa Gu," she reached out, took the wrinkled old hands of Old Master An and Old Lady An, and spoke softly, "Niuniu knows a way for you to become Ancient Martial Artists!"
Before she had finished, all the An family members looked up at her in surprise, as if they couldn’t grasp the full meaning of her words.
"Niuniu, what are you talking about?" Old Master An raised his eyebrows, asking with uncertainty.
