Chapter 191: Confess

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Zhicheng waved his sleeve in anger and rebuked, “Shut up! Look at the son you raised! Using such despicable means as poisoning during the selection match!”

With just one sentence, Gu Jinrong’s guilt was sealed.

Even the Gu family’s patriarch said so; no matter how Gu Zhixin tried to defend himself, it appeared feeble.

Gu Qingluan’s lips curved slightly.

Sure enough, Gu Zhicheng always cared about his own interests.

This time, the rift between the two brothers in the Gu family was not so easily reconciled.

Gu Qingluan glanced at the frenzied and helpless Gu Jinrong and casually said, “I can spare his life, as long as he admits to poisoning Xiaonan and kowtows three times to apologize to him.”

Gu Zhicheng was afraid she might change her mind and quickly nodded, “Alright!”

He walked a few steps in front of Gu Jinrong and slapped him hard.

Gu Jinrong was stunned by the blow, but it brought him back from his insanity.

“Beast! You dared to harm your own kin! Now kneel down and apologize to Xiaonan!” Gu Zhicheng’s face turned iron-gray.

“Impossible!” Gu Jinrong’s face turned pale.

“If you don’t want to die, kneel down!”

Gu Jinrong heard Gu Zhicheng’s words echoing in his mind, “As long as you cling to life, there is hope for revenge! Unless you’ve given up on living altogether! In that case, I won’t stand in your way!”

To live?

He was already a useless person. What difference did it make to be alive? Could he take revenge?

“Gu Qingluan was able to go from trash to a Saint; why can’t it happen to you?”

Gu Zhicheng’s words ignited a glimmer of hope in Gu Jinrong’s dim eyes.

That’s right, if Gu Qingluan could, why couldn’t he?

To be alive meant there was hope!

Gu Jinrong reluctantly knelt before Gu Xiaonan, lowering his proud head. “I was wrong! 1 shouldn’t have resorted to such despicable means to win the competition and harm you!”

The crowd burst into a flurry of discussions.

It was one thing for others to say it, but to hear Gu Jinrong confess it himself was another matter.

Although there was coercion involved, who would willingly bear a false accusation?

“I can’t believe it – Third Young Master Gu resorted to such means just to win!”

“Fortunately, Gu Xiaonan is powerful; otherwise, he would have lost his arcane power.”

“This scumbag! First Lady Gu, don’t go easy on him, kill him!”

“Exactly! Kill him! So he can’t harm others again!”

“Don’t worry; he’s already facing the consequences. Didn’t the royal physician say it? Breaking Spirit Powder causes a complete loss of arcane power and might even turn him into a useless person. A prodigy of the Heavenly Realm reduced to a waste! He’s better off dead!”

“Come to think of it, sparing his life is the best punishment for him.”

As cries of mockery and contempt echoed around, Gu Jinrong’s face turned sickly pale.

In an unnoticed corner, Gu Jinyue had been watching the whole time, unable to speak but shedding tears.

She was the culprit behind her brother’s misfortune!

But she believed it was Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan who harmed both herself and her brother!

Gu Qingluan!

Gu Xiaonan!

I’ll never coexist with you two!

Now that Gu Jinrong had confessed, the truth was revealed.

Qitian Yu announced that Gu Xiaonan was the winner of the competition, and he declared that Gu Jinrong was no longer qualified to participate in the selection matches.

Cheers erupted from all sides.

Gu Xiaonan grabbed Gu Qingluan’s hand, full of excitement. “Mother, 1 won! Am 1 amazing?”

“You are amazing!” Gu Qingluan smiled and didn’t look at the Gu family anymore. She held her son’s hand and left the arena.

Little Yuanxi had already led Xiao Bai and Xiao Mei down ahead of them.

Gu Qingluan and Gu Xiaonan returned to their seats.

The latter hugged Yuanxi tightly. “Yuanxi, thank you for helping me! Your performance was awesome!”

“It’s nothing. It was mainly Xiao Bai and Xiao Mei; they found the Breaking Spirit Powder so quickly.”

A pair of watery eyes uncontrollably looked at Gu Qingluan.

The adorable appearance was a far cry from the calm and composed demeanor on stage. It exuded a gentle charm..
