Chapter 549: A Counter Trick
They sat in silence for a long while, the atmosphere thick with tension. Uncertainty and struggle flickered in Gu Chuanshan’s eyes, as if he was unable to make up his mind.
Finally, Mei Fang broke the silence, "We’re going to have to tell him sooner or later, let’s stop hiding it. Do you want Gu Fan to resent us for life?"
"Alright, I’ll tell you." Gu Chuanshan sighed, remorse coloring his face, "I never thought that without my saying a word, you would be able to uncover so much. It seems Luo Jingrong was right, you really were capable of finding Qian Ye’s ancient city and the floating island left behind by the ancient Super Civilization."
Gu Fan retorted unhappily, "That damned merchant. He really told you everything, didn’t he?"
Mei Fang was annoyed as well, "Exactly, if it weren’t for him, how much longer would you keep us in the dark? You chose to put everything at risk, do you want to worry us to death?"
"Mom, I was wrong, I won’t dare do it again." Reprimanded by his parents, Gu Fan lost his initial momentum.
Gu Chuanshan followed with a rebuke, "You were lucky this time. If you dare to do this again, I’ll break your legs."
"Yes, yes, it’s my fault." At this moment, Gu Fan felt so belittled by his parents that he could barely lift his head. He glanced at Su Hui, Lin Xi, and Gu Ling who were shaking their heads at his situation.
Suddenly, Gu Fan felt something was wrong and regained his spirit, "Mom, Dad, why are you blaming just me? You’ve been keeping things from me too."
