CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 303: THE MATCHMAKER ARRIVES, A MEASURE OF TRUST (PART 3)

Gu Chang took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, but his tone remained stiff:

"Dad, this Miss Sun, she’ll never be a good daughter-in-law to you, nor will she be good to your grandson."

Gu’s father murmured, "What do you mean by that?"

"If our child ends up being Dual Spirit Roots or above, they’ll take the Sun surname. Sun, with the Sun Family being so powerful, that child belongs to the Sun Family!"

"Isn’t it... difficult to have Dual Spirit Roots?"

"But this Miss Sun herself has Three Spirit Roots!" Gu Chang was already smart; his previous fantasies were just due to never really experiencing marriage, but now he felt he understood more.

"Her stance is probably that for any child below Three Spirit Roots, she won’t even care... If they’re ours, they’re ours."

Gu’s father didn’t speak, but Gu Mu still didn’t quite understand:

"Isn’t that good?"

"Good what? This Miss Sun won’t nurture a child with lower aptitude than hers! If our child doesn’t have Dual Spirit Roots, we won’t get any cultivation resources!"

Gu Mu finally understood: "Above Dual Spirit Roots is the Sun Family’s, below, all the good deeds are in her hands, and if she doesn’t give them to us, we have no way. This..."

Gu Chang slowly nodded.

"Miss Sun is not good, let’s find another girl then..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Chang said seriously, "Dad, Mom, I’ve already thought it over, there’s no rush for marriage right now."

"No rush?" Both Gu’s father and Gu Mu showed some resistance on their faces, "No rush, how’s that possible? You’re not in a rush, but we are!"

Gu Chang immediately said, "Yes, I ran into the Sect Leader earlier, he values me a lot... he even gave me a book!"

"Master Zheng?"

Upon hearing the words Sect Leader, the expressions of Gu’s father and Gu Mu immediately changed, even becoming a bit excited.

"Yes!"

"He values you?"

"He does! I still have the book!" Gu Chang said spiritedly, "He also told me to study well, that in the future, I can change my Spirit Root aptitude!"

"Change the Spirit Root?" Living in the Jiushan Realm, Gu’s father and Gu Mu knew many common senses from the Xuanwei Realm cultivators, "The Spirit Root can also be changed?"

"The Sect Leader said it..."

Gu’s father immediately said, "Then it must be correct!"

"But that book is expensive." Seizing the opportunity as he sensed an opening, Gu Chang further persuaded, "The good deeds in my hands, and what I’d earn in the future, it seems I’ll have to use them, and wanting a better wife, there might not be money for it."

"This..."

Gu Mu hesitated upon hearing this, "Doesn’t that mean there won’t be a grandson?"

"Did you say the Sect Leader told you to do this?" yet Gu’s father stared at him, asking again sternly, "Is it true?"

Gu Chang maintained a serious expression, nodding earnestly—the Sect Leader mentioned the first part, but he comprehended the latter part, and there was no problem.

"Then I won’t rush you."

"Yes!"

...

Gu Chang rushed out of the house, buying two more issues of the "Immortal Dao" journal.

In the main hall of the Gu family, Gu Mu was still complaining, "What do you mean not to rush, if you don’t rush, when will there be a grandson?"

"A grandson..." Gu’s father sat at the table, "Without the Sect Leader, not to mention today’s good days, we wouldn’t even be alive, let alone thinking about a grandson."

"Even so..."

"You don’t understand; our son, he’s not reconciled!" Gu’s father added, "This Miss Sun, relying on her aptitude and family background, is bullying others like this, we can’t help, but let’s not make it hard for him."

"...But can the Spirit Root really be changed? If it doesn’t happen in the future, wouldn’t Chang waste his whole life?"

Gu’s father naturally couldn’t guarantee it, staying silent for a long time before saying an irrelevant sentence: "The Sect Leader wouldn’t harm us."

Gu Mu listened to this, slowly nodding in agreement.
