Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 273 Setting Conditions for Saving Parents

"You overestimate him; he's not capable of taking care of your children."

Just as the Spirit Hall's attack was about to hit the two men who were facing death, the surrounding spacetime seemed to freeze as if a slowdown button had been pressed.

Until it comes to a complete standstill.

"When!?"

Gu Quan and Sun Yan'er, who were already prepared to die, waited for a moment and when the attack did not come, they subconsciously opened their eyes and then saw a scene that they would never forget.

The surrounding spacetime seemed to be frozen, and countless attacks hovered at a great distance in front of them.

They were so close that they could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in the attack.

It wasn't just the attack, but everything around it.

Suddenly, Gu Quan realized that just as they were preparing to face death calmly, a voice reached their ears.

The source of that sound—

Gu Quan and Sun Yan'er turned around instantly and saw a strange young man appear silently behind them.

And he was seated on a throne that seemed to be made of gold.

His aura was connected to this still space; facing him was like facing the entire world.

The pressure was terrifying.

Almost instinctively, the two wanted to move backward.

"I advise you to stand still. Time in this time zone has only been slowed down by me without limit, not completely locked. You will still be injured if you are touched by those attacks."

Looking at his so-called parents, Gu Xuan couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Both of my parents are truly excellent people in terms of character and personality.

He could face death with equanimity, it's just a pity he died too young, otherwise his future would have been limitless.

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Gu Quan and Sun Yan'er stopped in their tracks.

"Sir, may I ask your honorable name?"

After realizing what was happening, Gu Quan immediately grabbed Sun Yan'er and led her to pay her respects to Gu Xuan.

Although they didn't know why Gu Xuan had intervened to save them, whatever his purpose, he had done it.

They must not forget this.

Moreover, they are only temporarily out of danger; they are not truly out of danger yet.

Now, their only hope of truly escaping danger lies with Gu Xuan.

Who I am is not important to you.

Gu Xuan raised his hand to stop Gu Quan and Sun Yan'er from their actions.

"What you need to worry about now is how to survive."

"Please enlighten us, senior. My father is Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We will do everything you ask of us."

After hearing Gu Xuan's words, Gu Quan was filled with emotion for a moment. Feeling that Gu Xuan was not an enemy, he revealed his last bit of confidence.

"Ancient banyan tree?"

I could slap him to death; his favors are completely useless to me.

Gu Xuan's words caused the two of them to frown instantly.

If it wasn't for the ancient banyan tree, then what else could it be for?

They didn't think they had anything left for this powerful figure to covet.

But if no one covets them, why would he bother rescuing them?

The things that seem to have no apparent cost are often the hardest to repay.

"Saving you is simple, but you need to agree to a few conditions."

Gu Xuan held up three fingers and said.

"Yes, but not if it harms our families."

Gu Quan said with some caution.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in you and I won't hurt you. I'll leave after I save you. As for whether you'll complete the tasks I assigned after I leave, that's entirely up to you."

Gu Xuan said indifferently.

"Please speak, senior. There has never been a member of the Gu family who broke their promise."

Gu Quan patted his chest and said.

However, as he patted him, he couldn't help but cough again.

"The Gu family's reputation is the most unreliable thing ever!"

Gu Xuan rolled his eyes. Who doesn't know who?

However, he still raised his hand and injected a divine force into Gu Quan's body.

Under the influence of Ma Shenli, Gu Quan's physical condition quickly returned to normal.

"Thank you, senior. I swear by my Sword of Light that as long as it does not endanger my family, we will abide by it no matter what."

Sun Yan'er coughed awkwardly and then rolled her eyes at Gu Quan.

Its authority is so weak that no one believes it.

"The first thing—"

Gu Quan chuckled awkwardly a few times, while at the same time becoming even more awe-inspiring of Gu Xuan's methods.

After hearing that Gu Xuan was about to speak, they immediately listened attentively.

"First, after I save you, you must not return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Furthermore, for the next six years, you must live in anonymity and let everyone believe that you two are truly dead."

This refers to anyone.

Gu Xuan put away the first finger and said.

He didn't want to change the world or his own life trajectory, nor did he want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to taste the benefits.

He doesn't care about other worlds, but he won't allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to develop in any world that has him.

"this----"

Gu Quan and the other man exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Thinking of their newborn child and elderly father, they truly did not want to fake their deaths and flee far away.

But this is their only hope, and it will only last for six years.

By then, the child should have awakened his martial spirit, right?

"Okay, we agree to that."

Although we don't know Gu Xuan's motives, it's not an overly harsh criticism.

"Secondly, I need you to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School six years from now after your children awaken their martial souls, and take your children and Gu Rong away from the sect."

Of course, if Gu Rong doesn't want to, then forget it.

Gu Xuan then put away his second finger and said.

"???"

A number of question marks appeared above their heads.

What does this mean? He faked his death and then returned to the sect, and now he wants to leave the sect with his child and Gu Rong?

play?

"Senior, the sect has treated us well; isn't it a bit much to leave it?"

Gu Quan said hesitantly.

"You cannot reveal your identities for the next six years, but you can observe other things at will."

I can even alter your appearance and aura, allowing you to live within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and observe your children's growth up close.

However, there is one thing to note: you can only observe, not interfere.

If by then you still insist on staying in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then I have no objection.

Gu Xuan doesn't believe any parent could tolerate their child being bullied.

In particular, after observing the soul aura of the two, he confirmed that they were indeed capable of leaving the sect.

However, this is on the premise that the sect has first let them down.

The two looked at each other again, feeling like their brains were about to explode.

What kind of operation is this?

Did he do all this just so they could take their child and leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

And my father.

Does this mean they have a grudge against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

They could be allowed to leave, but only if they were confident they could control the situation, depending on their son's development.

This actually puts the power back in their hands.

If their son is doing well at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then they naturally have nothing to worry about.

After all, even if they "sacrifice" themselves, they still have their father, right?

Would a father really let his child suffer?

But seeing Gu Xuan's nonchalant attitude, the two of them hesitated again.

However, since they have the power to control the situation, they only need to abide by the first condition.

If the child was doing well at that time, they could simply return to the sect as normal. But if their son was truly suffering within the sect...

If they felt wronged, they would have left with their son without Gu Xuan saying anything.

"Okay, we agree to that too. What's the last one?"

Sun Yan'er readily agreed.
