Chapter 870
An Yiqing was startled for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on her, "You mean the previous Patriarch of the Guh Family acted righteously, but actually secretly copied and preserved a copy of the Forbidden Technique? But what was his aim? If the Forbidden Technique is so powerful, why didn’t he cultivate it himself?"
"These matters are unclear to anyone outside the Guh Family. Had you not told me today about Guh Siyi cultivating the Forbidden Technique, I would never have considered the Guh Family still possessing it." Gu Yelin furrowed his brows, "Tutu, be extra careful when you encounter Guh Siyi in the future. The Guh Family’s ambition is too great, and their secrets too many. Perhaps the ins and outs are even more complex than what I initially discovered."
Gu Yelin’s worried gaze made An Yiqing’s heart feel both sour and sweet. She smiled sweetly, reached out, and grasped his large hand, saying softly, "Ah Lin, don’t worry, I will protect myself, and I will never let you lose me!"
"However, Ah Lin, you just mentioned investigating the Guh Family, what exactly did you find? I remember Guh Siqi once warned me that the Guh Family is not as simple as it appears on the surface." An Yiqing pondered, then said, "Could it be that apart from Guh Tian, there are other power holders in the Guh Family? Like, his brother... Guh Hai?"
Thinking back to the aggressive Elder who was with Guh Siqing at the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference, An Yiqing increasingly felt like she might have overlooked a seemingly inconspicuous yet vitally important person, Guh Tian’s brother, Guh Hai.
Ever since An Yiqing arrived in Xuandu City, she had only heard of this Guh Hai once from Gu Yelin’s mouth, even people from Xuandu City such as Old Master An and Ye Chenghong rarely mentioned him. Now recalling Guh Siqi’s words, An Yiqing could not help but wonder if the complexity he hinted at was indeed related to this seldom-mentioned Guh Hai.
"There is very little information about Guh Hai. Initially, I found out that he and Guh Tian were divided into two factions within the Guh Family. But then Guh Tian successfully seized the position of Family Head, and Guh Hai was sent to Country Jin under the pretense of convalescence. He has not returned since, and even Grandpa’s impression of him is faint, he can hardly even remember what he looks like."
