Gu Ruoyun paused and said, “My big brother has gone to the East Peak Mainland and we’ve met up there so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Gu Shengxiao’s disappearance must have caused great anxiety to their relatives in the West Spirit Mainland. Hence, she had explained the situation but left out the matter concerning the Wen family so that they would not worry too much.
“So that kid Shengxiao has gone off to look for you.” Master Dongfang heaved a sigh of relief. “Since you have both ran into each other, I can relax. Shengxiao had disappeared several years ago and we had not been able to find him for years. I never thought that he would have gone off to the East Peak Mainland without telling anyone.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled but did not say very much else.
After all, Gu Shengxiao had not run off on his own but had been whisked away by the Wen family from the First City.
“Also, I have one more thing to tell you.” Gu Ruoyun turned her gaze on Master Dongfang as she said, “My parents are still alive and our family has been reunited.”
“What?”
Master Dongfang’s still-smiling being froze entirely when he heard this. His elderly eyes could only stare dazedly at Gu Ruoyun as he asked in disbelief, “What did you just say? I didn’t manage to hear you very clearly, can you say it again?”
At the same time, Dongfang Shaoze was in a daze as well. After all, Dongfang Yu’s death back then was a stab in every Dongfang family member’s heart! Now that he heard that the Gu couple were still alive, how could he not feel excited?
Hence, just as Master Dongfang asked his question to clarify, Dongfang Shaoze’s eyes were fixed squarely upon Gu Ruoyun as his gaze filled with excitement.
“My father and mother are still alive.” Gu Ruoyun smiled at the expression on both men’s faces. “Besides, my father is now a household name in the East Peak Mainland. Everyone calls him Grand Lord Hong Lian and no one dares to offend him. The two of them have now been reunited and when all this is over, I’ll bring them here to see you.”
Master Dongfang’s expression was shaking as if he had been put into a daze by Gu Ruoyun’s news. After a long pause, he burst into laughter.
His laughter pierced into the sky and echoed throughout the Dongfang family home.
“Haha, the heavens truly have eyes, my daughter is still alive, she’s still alive!”
As he smiled, Master Dongfang suddenly began to tear up from happiness. His body began to shake from the excitement.
“Those hateful people who had hurt my daughter! If it had not been for them, my daughter would never have been forced to leave her home for twenty years! Our family would never have been torn apart!”
Once, Master Dongfang had not dared to avenge Gu Tian and his wife as he was looking out for the Dongfang family’s best interests.
However, how could he not feel hatred over his own daughter’s death?
He felt a hateful urge to tear the perpetrators into shreds as a sacrifice for his daughter’s spirit in heaven.
However, as the head of the family, he could not do so! Otherwise, not only would he fail to avenge his daughter, he would have dragged the Dongfang family into destruction. Hence, he had held it all inside!

Now that he knows that Dongfang Yu was still alive, how could he now feel excited?
“Master Dongfang, Uncle.” Gu Ruoyun looked at Master Dongfang and the similarly excited Dongfang Shaoze as she smiled faintly. “I can’t stay too long this time. I still have another important matter to solve so I’m going to take my leave first. Next time, I’ll bring Mother and Father back home when I return!”
