Chapter 1596

It was night, and the bright moon was hanging high in the sky. The bright moonlight shone on the beautiful garden.

In the pavilion, beside the Mirror Lake, Gu Chen and Zhuo Sword God sat face to face. The green wine was boiling on the stone table in front of them.

"Senior, why did you invite me here so late at night?" Gu Chen sat upright and asked politely.

Although he and Zhuo Sword God were both Daoists, Zhuo Sword God was much older than him. In addition, he was friends with Chu Meixin, so he called him senior out of politeness.

Yesterday, Gu Chen and Zhuo Sword God had a good talk. He didn't expect that Zhuo Sword God would invite him to a banquet tonight, and only the two of them were present this time.

Tomorrow was the birthday banquet, and almost all the Daoists had arrived. Zhuo Sword God should be busy with a lot of things. Gu Chen didn't understand his intention.

Zhuo Sword God looked at Gu Chen's handsome face like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was, and he couldn't help smiling.

When he first heard the name of Gu Chen, he had a lot of worries in his heart.

Because according to his investigation, he was just a defected general in Xing County. How could he be worthy of his talented and beautiful granddaughter?

Later, as the shocking news about Gu Chen came out one after another, Zhuo Sword God began to pay attention to him and secretly sighed that he was a promising talent.

But even then, he had never thought of marrying his granddaughter to him. After all, he had made too many enemies.

Later, the ending of the outside world shocked everyone. Zhuo Sword God deeply realized that this guy was definitely worthy of his granddaughter. Among his peers, he was undoubtedly the number one genius!

Therefore, in the Hundred Counties Conference, he proposed to use his birthday banquet as an opportunity to help Gu Chen ease the relationship between him and Daoists of Hundred Counties.

He had the idea of marrying him as his grandson-in-law, but he didn't see him face to face, so he hid this idea first.

Until he met Gu Chen yesterday, he saw that he was dignified and had an extraordinary way of talking. What was more valuable was that such a genius didn't have any arrogance, so he was sure that he was right.

This guy had a promising future. It was definitely not a loss for his granddaughter to marry him!

After consulting his granddaughter's opinion, Zhuo Jianjun couldn't wait to set up a banquet tonight, wanting to confirm the relationship between the two families tonight.

As long as Gu Chen was willing to marry his granddaughter, he had already made up his mind to stand firmly on Gu Chen's side in the upcoming Hundred Counties Conference. It didn't matter if Gu Chen took the lead.

It was not uncommon for the counties to form an alliance with each other. He wanted to announce the engagement tomorrow. That way, both Tyrant County and Sword County would be more powerful.

Zhuo Jianjun was calculating in his heart and had never thought whether Gu Chen would refuse. In his opinion, this was a win-win situation, not to mention that his granddaughter was not bad in all aspects.

"Young Friend Gu, the Old Man doesn't like to beat around the bush, so I'll just tell you directly. The Old Man intends to marry my granddaughter Mei Xin to you. I wonder if you agree? "

Zhuo Jianjun said kindly. Then, he looked forward to seeing Gu Chen's surprised expression.

"Miss Chu?"

Gu Chen didn't expect that Zhuo Jianjun would invite him to meet alone for this kind of thing. He was quite surprised and asked. "Does Miss Chu know about this?"

In his opinion, this should be Zhuo Jianjun's random matchmaking. As long as Chu Meixin didn't agree, everything would be fine.

"Mei Xin has agreed. She's just waiting for you to agree."

Zhuo Jianjun replied with a smile. Because Gu Chen knew how to respect the woman's opinion, he was even more satisfied.

Gu Chen fell silent at once.

Chu Meixin actually agreed to the marriage. Unexpectedly, she …

Looking at Zhuo Jianjun's expectant face, Gu Chen realized that if he refused this marriage, it would be a great humiliation to the Chu Family, and Zhuo Jianjun himself would be put in a difficult position.

With the power of Sword County, the marriage between the two would bring great benefits to Tyrant County.

Chu Meixin was young, beautiful, and talented. She was even more worthy of him.

However, just because he could see these benefits directly, in order not to offend others, should he agree to this marriage?

Lanchu's figure appeared in Gu Chen's mind. He immediately got the answer in his heart. He didn't waver at all!

"Senior, there is one thing you may not know. I already have a family."

Gu Chen said, even though he felt that it was impossible for Zhuo Jianjun to not find out about this.

Hearing this, Zhuo Jianjun shook his head carelessly.

"As far as the Old Man knows, the Chaos Transit Window of the Ninth World in Xing County has already collapsed. My young friend Gu is already alone. People should always look forward. My young friend Gu should let go of the past and start afresh. "

He said it vaguely, but what he meant was that Gu Chen wouldn't be able to see his former wife for the rest of his life. Why should he be obsessed with this?

"For me, my wife is not the past, but the present, and the future."

Gu Chen looked at Zhuo Jianjun and answered frankly.

Although he had destroyed the Chaos Transit Window of the Ninth World with his own hands, Gu Chen had been firmly hoping that he could go home one day.

Gu Chen's tone was very firm. Zhuo Jianjun understood what he meant, and his smile froze for a moment.

He didn't expect that Gu Chen would give up the huge benefits of the marriage with Sword County for a person he would probably never see again.

As a dignified County Lord, such a choice was too naive and childish!

"My young friend Gu, if you can't let go of your former wife, you can let her be your concubine if you can see her in the future. I believe Meixin won't mind."

Zhuo Jianjun didn't give up. He took a step back in his heart and suggested.

He didn't want his granddaughter to be wronged. However, she was obviously deeply in love with the person in front of him, so there was no other way.

Gu Chen cared about his former wife, so it was not a big deal to take a step back.

What was more, the possibility of him seeing his former wife was almost zero!

Zhuo Jianjun made a concession, thinking that Gu Chen would accept it. Unexpectedly, Gu Chen shook his head.

"My wife has been legally married. She has suffered a lot because of me these years. I can't let her be wronged."

Gu Chen had always been full of guilt for leaving Lanchu to raise the child alone in Ancient Cang Huang Star.

When he left the Ancient Sky Yellow Star, Lan Chu was already pregnant, but in order to not let him have any worries, she forced herself to bear everything alone. Gu Chen felt guilty for her, but he loved her more than anything else.

Gu Chen had a big heart and was determined to do things that ordinary people couldn't do on the road of cultivation. However, he was very narrow-minded about the relationship between men and women. In this life, he could only tolerate one person …

"If I don't wrong her, should I wrong my granddaughter? My young friend Gu, do you want the pearl of my Chu Family to be your concubine? "

Zhuo Jianjun's face became completely cold when he heard Gu Chen's words. He almost couldn't restrain his anger.

"Miss Chu is very excellent. I don't want to delay her." Gu Chen clearly refused.

Bang!
