Rest In A Demon’s Embrace

The rest of the conversation was quickly finished, and the patriarch asked all elders to stay behind so they could discuss the details of how to make Luo Xiao\'s identity as Gu Tianyu known to the rest of the world.

Gu Xingyu knew very well that his sister had never given birth to a son. After her disappearance, his family had naturally done everything possible to locate her again. Back then, they gathered a few experts and using her personal belongings they quickly found out the truth about the matter.

A group of seven cultivators had ganged up on her, killed her, and taken away her treasures, as she did not hide her wealth, even after running away from home.

These items had been taken by them to use, but they did not know that they were personally made for the Young Miss Gu, and thus they were found and their death penalty was signed.

The Gu family had killed everyone involved, and no one else ever found out about how Gu Xingxi died. Her disappearance ended in a mystery that no one could solve, and it was not before now, when Luo Xiao appeared as Gu Tianyu, that they heard about her once again.

Gu Xingyu did not feel guilty about using his sister\'s name to give Luo Xiao an identity. He did care for her when she was living at home, and he was one of the few that tried to teach her manners and responsibility.

However, he had failed greatly, and after seeing how she was so stubborn and ran away just because her family would not help her marry a man who refused her, he felt that she was too spoiled.

Gu Xingxi had only cared about herself as she ran away, and she did not even consider the pain and loss her disappearance would bring her family members. Such selfishness made him feel unhappy, and thus he did not think that her death was unwarranted. Even if she did survive this time, with her behavior, she would court disaster one day or another.

It was precisely this attitude that Gu Xingyu had towards his sister that made some of the more shrewd elders more thoughtful. What could make him this caring towards a junior?

Of course, while many of them were making up their own thoughts, none of them were put into words, as they knew that the Patriarch would not answer, and that there would be some sort of background reason that they should not know about.

While the Patriarch wanted the elders to stay behind, the younger generation and their parents all vacated the hall, and Gu Tianhu took the chance to get close to Luo Xiao.

"Brother Tianyu, why don\'t you follow me? I will introduce you to a few of the cousins I spend a lot of time training with." Gu Tianhu was eager and excited as he wanted to get Luo Xiao to get more familiar with their Gu family. He was not able to regain his stoic personality, and thus he simply let the powerful identity crumple and happily become more energetic and eager.

The younger generation were also eager to get to know Gu Tianyu. Initially, they had felt hostile towards this young man, but after seeing how enthusiastic Gu Tianhu was, they could not help but wonder about his personality and were curious about the person who managed to change their fierce tiger brother into a cute kitten.

"Hey, young man, I think I have seen you before!" The one who spoke was a young woman who seemed to recognize him from somewhere. Her eyes were inquisitive but curious, and she began to go around him, trying to look at him from every angle.

"I know!" She suddenly exclaimed loudly as she clapped her hands. "When we arrived at the city gates and were waiting in line, you were standing behind us, weren\'t you?"

Luo Xiao finally took an eye on the woman in front of him. She looked youthful and energetic. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement, and she seemed both naive and pampered, but she did not give the impression of being vicious or arrogant.

He vaguely remembered that a group of youngsters from the Gu family had been waiting in front of him at the city gates, but at that time, Ye Feng had been too energetic and worried, so Luo Xiao did not pay much attention.

He had been looking at them casually, but after knowing that Jiang Yao was waiting for him at the inn, he had not been paying much attention to them and just casually said not to care about them.

However, after hearing what the young girl said, it did seem like she was a member of the Gu family, and that he had seen her somewhere before.

After seeing that Luo Xiao recognized her, she suddenly felt a bit sheepish.

"Hey, I am sorry for the words said that day. I had not seen you back then, so I thought that you were just the ordinary evil person who wanted to take away Brother Tianhu\'s privileges." She scratched her head a bit awkwardly, while explaining her words, and suddenly the group of youngsters by her side felt a bit embarrassed as they had also been part of the conversation back then.

Luo Xiao could not help but smile slightly as he looked at their sincere expressions and shook his head gently.

"It is fine; your thoughts were completely reasonable." Luo Xiao did not blame them. "I was not born in the Gu family, but I have returned like this. My uncle and cousin are both very kind to me, so it is natural to be more alert.

"I have been unknown to you all for so many years, and now that I just appeared, you all fear that I might make the one you care about suffer.

"I do not blame you, I do feel that your reasoning is indeed reasonable, and I am happy to know that my cousin has such a good relationship with his family."
