I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 347 - 28: Liu Chen’s Demise

"Elder brother!"

By this day, the skin of these Gu Clan youths had grown much darker.

Their previous sense of detachment was completely gone.

Gu Ye’s body was trembling slightly, but his face still displayed a calm demeanor as he asked indifferently, "What is it?"

He was not someone who lacked familial affection.

Gu Ye was also very afraid that these brothers might say something they shouldn’t.

"Elder brother, I have something to report...."

They looked at each other, and finally, the eldest among them hesitated and spoke these words.

"What is it?" Gu Ye’s breath suddenly became more rapid, and he quickly asked.

Gu Yi had been observing everything without interfering.

Judging by the situation of previous generations of Gu Clan youths, he would never have been this worried.

But now things were different.

That Gu Clan youth did not say much, he hesitated for a moment before slowly taking a letter from his chest and handing it to Gu Ye.

"Elder brother.... This is the record of people we’ve noted these days."

"They were attempting to persuade our Gu Clan to establish independence...."

As these words were spoken, none of them hesitated any longer and immediately began to relay to Gu Ye everything they had cleared up over the recent days.

Looking at the people before him.

Gu Yi could clearly feel Gu Ye’s body suddenly relax, exhaling deeply.

Compared to Gu Yi’s state of mind, Gu Ye could only be more tense.

These people were his brothers.

If they chose to make any decisions detrimental to the family, no matter how reluctant, Gu Ye would undoubtedly take action against them.

But now, he could finally be at ease.

"Good."

As their voices gradually faded, Gu Ye looked at them with satisfaction, sincerely praising, "You truly are descendants of the Gu Clan, you have not disgraced our family."

None of them were fools.

Upon hearing this, they immediately sensed that Gu Ye already knew about this matter.

With no hesitation, they quickly knelt down towards Gu Ye: "Elder brother, though we are not capable."

"We also know the difficulties the Gu Clan has faced to reach this day."

"The tireless efforts of our ancestors over generations.... The heavy burden you carry, elder brother...."

"Even Moqing could strive for the family."

"How could we disgrace the family?"

Their expressions were resolute.

Leading by example has always been the best form of education.

Though these Gu Clan youths once had problems with their resolve, through the hardships of these years, they had long since changed.

Especially the transformation of Gu Han and the achievements he later accomplished.

This had led these people to alter their views.

Silently looking at these people before him, even Gu Yi couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Obviously—

All that he had done in the end turned out to be useful.

Just as the Gu Clan was about to step into a forked path, he managed to pull them back once more.

A great purge arrived as promised.

In dealing with these people, Gu Ye showed not a shred of mercy.

Perhaps there was also a thought of establishing authority.

Gu Ye wanted to intimidate those with ulterior motives before he left.

Under his command.

Wen Yang led his men to various places, executing without delay anyone regardless of status.

No mercy was shown.

—Lingnan was rocked!

Gu Ye wisely did not directly announce these people’s crimes, only labeling them as "troublemakers with ulterior motives in Lingnan."

This had a significant deterrent effect on all of Lingnan.

And after this matter concluded, in June.

Gu Ye finally left Lingnan.

Heading towards Luoyang.

At the time of departure, people from all directions came to say farewell.

Among them were Han and Yue people.

They also knew they could not influence Gu Ye’s decision, so they could only use their own means to wish him safety at the farewell.

Gu Ling originally wanted to accompany Gu Ye back to Luoyang.

Her medical skills were now quite extraordinary, something that could serve well on the journey.

But Gu Ye refused.

He sensed his own end was near.

Even if he could return to Luoyang, he feared he would not be able to come back to Lingnan.

But Gu Ling was different.

Staying in Lingnan and continuing on her own path was more fitting for her.

To this, Gu Yi also did not interfere.

He had a "cure talisman" in hand.

As long as Gu Ye was not at the end of his life, he was confident he could protect him.

As for Wen Yang.

This time he chose to return to Luoyang with Gu Ye.

He was no longer young.

Rather than staying in Lingnan, he preferred to return to Luoyang with Gu Ye, regardless of whether he could endure it.

At the very least, this was what he most wanted to do.

Through the passage of time, compared with when they first entered Lingnan, everything had already changed.

Whether it was Gu Ye or Wen Yang.

Even those fallen Han Army soldiers.

They all left their marks on this land.

Even the surrounding mountains and rivers had changed. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yet, along this return journey, they still could see so many shadows of the past, recalling many, many old stories.

Gu Ye became increasingly silent.

Even Wen Yang was no longer as carefree as before.

Perhaps this was one of the characteristics of the Huaxia people.

Often, as they reached a certain age, they became increasingly nostalgic.

He visited the shrine of Zhong Hui.

And paused at every battlefield they fought on before, to pay respects to those soldiers who fell on this land in the past.

Gu Ye did not rush the journey.

Even though the road had long since been repaired, the journey remained quite far.

He was no longer young.

Haste was of no use.

It was highly possible it might cause him to fall before Liu Chen.
