Chapter 689 Marriage Confirmed (5)
"Qing is not fragile; she has the right to know this matter,"
Old Master Gu, Ye Chenghong, and the other elder turned their heads in surprise at Gu Yelin’s remark.
"Lao San, do you mean to tell Girl Qing about this?" Old Master Gu frowned and asked.
"Exactly, we should tell her; she has the right to know. Qing is not a flower to be kept in a greenhouse; you should trust in Qing’s strength and her potential. Throughout these days, facing so many life-and-death situations, Qing has always maintained the most optimistic attitude. Both her constitution and temperament grow stronger with challenges, overcoming all difficulties and enhancing her abilities even faster,"
Gu Yelin’s rare long speech plunged the elders into deep thought.
All they wanted was to protect An Yiqing from getting hurt, but they had forgotten that every young eagle needs to be tempered in order to soar high as a mighty eagle, and An Yiqing was certainly not a weak fledgling.
"Ah, actually what Lao San said makes sense! Xiao Qing is not a flower in a greenhouse, not a canary in a cage; she doesn’t need us to overprotect her. She has done very well these past few months, and I think we should not keep these matters from her. After all, she is Ye Chenghong’s disciple, the Daughter of the An Family, and the future leader of the Medicine Sect. There are some things she should rightfully know," Old Master Gu sighed deeply as he spoke.
"You are right, let’s do this then, after I cure Ming Yuan, I will find a time to tell Girl Qing everything," Ye Chenghong paused and sighed, "Actually, I know Qing is strong-willed and can overcome any difficulty. But this matter relates to the reason I went into seclusion twenty years ago, so I fear she might act impulsively, leading to inner demons in her cultivation. Girl Qing is deeply compassionate and loyal; she would never ignore someone close to her getting hurt and would resist to the very end!"
"Ye, I am aware of your concerns, but let’s listen to Lao San on this. We should tell Xiao Qing, she has the right to know," Old Master Gu said.
"You make a good point. Elder An, what do you think?" Ye Chenghong turned his head and asked Old Master An.
