Today was the third day since Guhan left the dungeon. In these three days, Guhan had been dealing with all kinds of aftermath.
This included his first interview with the television media in his life, where he described the entire incident in detail. Coupled with the various videos he had recorded at the time, he successfully cleared his name and turned from a murderer to a savior of mankind.
Guhan even took the initiative to comfort the families of the dead and injured. He gave a large sum of money to the parents of those who lost their loved ones. Guhan only gave the money to the parents of those who died trapped in the dungeon. As for the relatives of those who were killed by Guhan during the demonstrations, Guhan did not even show his face. He treated them as if they did not exist.
Apart from that, perhaps out of guilt, Gu Han even took out 40 billion RMB to entrust the Liunian Clan's subordinate organizations to set up a Sword Maiden Online Dungeon Survivor and Family Protection Fund. The 40 billion RMB would be used to protect the pitiful people who suffered from various illnesses due to the dungeon incident, as well as those who lost their loved ones. Of course, the fund would not be of any use to those who did not die in the dungeon.
This became one of the reasons why the relatives of those who died protested in the streets. They felt that Guhan was too unfair. Why would Guhan compensate those who did not die in Guhan's hands but not their loved ones who died in Guhan's hands?
This was the only thing Guhan could do. After settling these matters, Guhan received Xuan's invitation to meet him in this small restaurant.
"This restaurant's silk stockings, milk tea, and Hong Kong style refreshments are pretty good. It's the most authentic Hong Kong style teahouse I've eaten in the past 500 years. I guarantee that if I didn't bring you here, you wouldn't be able to taste such an authentic Hong Kong style teahouse!
Try it! "Xuan squeezed out a smile and said.
Gu Han ate a few mouthfuls of the dishes Xuan praised. He realized the dishes were mainly light and sweet. Maybe it was delicious for some people, but it couldn't satisfy Gu Han's taste. Gu Han preferred to eat spicy dishes. Gu Han was a bit surprised. Gu Han ate a lot of spicy dishes.
But out of respect for Xuan and the food, Guhan still finished the food in front of him.
But when Gu Han finished eating, he noticed that Xuan only took a small bite before pushing the food to the side. He didn't take another bite.
"Unexpected!
The taste of the food has completely changed the second time I came here. It no longer has the authentic Hong Kong taste! "Xuan sighed and said.
"Did the restaurant change its chef?" Guhan asked calmly.
"Maybe!"
Xuan thought for a while, "The last time I came, the owner was an old man with white hair. Now he has become a young man in his twenties. The owner must have changed!"
"…" Guhan was stunned and asked again, "Mr. Xuan, how long has it been since you came to this restaurant?"
"I can't remember!" Xuan waved his hand, "Maybe forty to fifty years!"
"As expected!
The owner of this restaurant is probably the great-grandson or even great-grandson of the previous owner! "
Guhan thought. He looked at Xuan and said, "We have eaten. Mr. Xuan, can you tell me the real reason why you asked me to come here?"
"It's nothing big. Didn't I tell you before you entered the dungeon that if you can successfully save these people, I will give you the thing Gu Xuanwu asked me to pass to you!"
Xuan curled his lips, "Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Although I don't think it's a good thing to pass this thing to you!"
Xuan took out a sword case out of thin air and placed it in front of Guhan.
"Captus!"
Guhan couldn't help but exclaim when he opened the case. Inside the case was the last of the four Celestial Banishing Swords, Captus.
"Isn't Captus in the hands of the Jade Emperor?
Why is it here? "Looking at the genuine Captive Immortal Sword in the sword sheath, Gu Han asked in disbelief.
"You actually know that Captus is in the hands of the Jade Emperor … That's strange. The Jade Emperor never mentioned this embarrassing matter to anyone. I'm afraid there's no one else in the world who knows that Captus was once in the hands of the Jade Emperor. How do you know?" Xuan showed a curious expression. "That's right, the Jade Emperor is the Jade Emperor's.
"In that instance dungeon, the Jade Emperor had once used the Immortal Trapping Sword. That is how I know about this!" Gu Han's answer was very sincere.
"The Jade Emperor in the dungeon used Captus?"
Xuan's expression changed. He looked at Guhan suspiciously and asked, "Captus is used to kill the self. In other situations, it's not as useful as the Jade Emperor's Emperor Sword of Firmament. Why did he use Captus to fight you?
Could it be that you've already forced the Jade Emperor to the point where he has to fight by killing his true self? "
"…" Gu Han didn't say anything else. He didn't expect Xuan to know the truth. What if he said something else and Xuan figured out the truth behind the deaths of the two million people … Others might not have the intelligence to do so, but Gu Han believed Xuan definitely had.
"Alright!
Since you don't want to say, I won't ask! "
Xuan smiled nonchalantly when Guhan didn't answer his question. He continued, "I remember Gu Xuanwu asked me what to do if she wanted to steal something from the Jade Emperor. She wanted me to help her plan it."
"I called her a lunatic. She was just a Deity level sword wielder. She wanted to steal something from the Desolation level Yuan Kou Jade Emperor. Even I didn't dare to imagine such a thing.
But after her repeated begging and pestering, I had no choice but to look through a month's worth of information. I helped her come up with a plan that only had a 1% success rate. "
"Then Gu Xuanwu relied on this 1% success rate to steal Captus?"
Gu Han's entire body tensed up. A plan that only had a 1% chance of success, Gu Xuanwu did it without any hesitation!
Even if they were separated by a thousand years, Gu Han could still clearly feel the sincerity in his heart.
"No!
Our Miss Black Tortoise didn't think so. In the blink of an eye, she tore apart the plan that I spent a month to come up with. Then, after she became an Emperor Sword, she made a small deal to exchange for this Celestial Trapping Sword from the Jade Emperor! "
"…" Guhan almost spat out his milk tea. Very good, this was his style as a father.
"How much do you know about Gu Xuanwu?
What happened to her afterwards … Do you know where she was buried? "
Gu Han looked affectionately at the Sword of Captus that his daughter left for him. After a long silence, he asked Xuan hesitantly.
"I don't know!"
Xuan shrugged helplessly. "The last time I saw her, she told me she wanted to find a way to go home to find her father … I don't understand. She was already in her nineties at that time. Her father was at least a hundred years old. Even his bones should have turned to dust. What was she looking for?"
"Is that so!"
Guhan's face twitched. He had endless love for his daughter. At the same time, his feelings for Kenzu, the culprit who separated him and his daughter became more complicated. After all, Kenzu was his son-in-law.
"One more question. Why aren't you willing to give me Captus? You said she is a disaster to me. Why is that?" Guhan asked curiously.
"Let me correct myself. This is not what I said. It was Gu Xuanwu who said it.
She told me that there is a 99.9% chance that this thing is a disaster. However, there is a 0.1% chance that it is the key to saving the world.
As for whether to give it to you, it is up to me. If I think that Guhan is a trustworthy person, then I will give it to him! "Xuan said.
"So you think I am a trustworthy person?" Guhan asked.
"I don't know if you are a trustworthy person!
But like I said, you are a great person! "
Xuan stood up from his chair and called for the boss to settle the bill. He patted Guhan's shoulder and said, "There are still many things to do in the station. Tomono Kakaze's consciousness is still a little confused. I have a lot of things to do. I won't talk to you anymore!"
"Oh!
Oh, I almost forgot. "
Xuan took out a small cloth bag from his dimensional pocket and gave it to Guhan. "Actually, Xuanwu asked me to pass this to you!"
After passing the small cloth bag to Guhan, Xuan left the restaurant and disappeared into the crowd on the street.
Gu Han took the small cloth bag and opened it. To his surprise, he found that there was a glossy green Severed Black Hair inside. This was a treasure that had gone through most of Gu Han's life since the age of 18. At this moment, it once again appeared in front of Gu Han.
"This Gu Xuanwu!
Does she know about the problem I am facing now? "
Guhan touched the Severed Black Hair in his hand. It was obvious that his daughter knew about the huge problem he was facing in Zifu.
More than three years ago, in order to save Yuzhang City, Gu Han had synchronized with the Immortal-grade Swordmistress Sword of Victory and temporarily transformed into an Immortal-grade sword-wielder. That was how he had defeated Nether River Patriarch.
But this also left a huge hidden danger for Guhan. The Sword of Victory had synchronized with Guhan successfully. As long as Guhan touched the hilt of the Sword of Victory, he would immediately complete the remaining steps and become the true wielder of the Sword of Victory.
But this meant that Guhan had to find a sister with the same nature for the Sword of Victory and form two immortal sword wielder. Otherwise, Guhan's body would collapse and he would die within a month.
But the Sword of Victory had always been a swordmistress. How could Guhan find a swordmistress for the Sword of Victory … Originally, Guhan planned to put this problem aside for the time being. But now that Immortal Captus and Immortal Culling Sword had both appeared in front of Guhan, Guhan's immortal sword wielder had a better choice … that was to gather all four Immortal Banishing Swords.
But if all four Immortal Banishing Swords were gathered, the Sword of Victory would definitely become a huge problem for Guhan.
And there was only one way to solve this problem. That was to use the Severed Black Hair to cut off the mark between himself and the Sword of Victory.
This was the choice Guhan had to face now.
