"Forget it … You win. I didn't expect to deceive you in the first place!"
Chidou Isuzu's entire body softened. "But as long as you believe that Black Tortoise is your child, that's enough."
"Who is Black Tortoise's real mother?" With a wave of his hand, Guhan put the machine in front of him back into his dimensional pocket.
Although Guhan had already confirmed that Gu Xuanwu was his daughter, and Chidou Isuzu also admitted that she was not Gu Xuanwu's mother, there was a bigger problem in front of Guhan.
That was, who was Gu Xuanwu's real mother?
"I think you've already guessed it, right?
After all, you came in from the entrance of the Norland Plains. Since you can unlock the opening rune there, you should have vaguely guessed who Black Tortoise's mother is! "Chidou Isuzu looked at Guhan with a playful expression.
"How is this possible?
How could it be her? "Guhan murmured.
"Since when did His Majesty Guhan doubt his own conclusions?
Haven't you always been extremely confident? "
Chidou Isuzu sneered. "It's just as you guessed. Black Tortoise is the child of you and Director Artoria."
In a simple and unpretentious manner, Qiandou Fifty-Two Bells had revealed the truth of the matter.
In fact, Guhan had already begun to guess that Gu Xuanwu's mother was Artoria … The reason was simple. This was purely based on appearance. Gu Xuanwu's face had the characteristics of both Guhan and Artoria. At first glance, Guhan felt that Gu Xuanwu was very similar to Artoria.
Otherwise, why did you think Guhan only saw the scene of Gu Xuanwu and the angel fighting? The angel also made it very clear that as long as Guhan did not intervene in the battlefield, the angel would not attack Guhan. In addition, humans and angels were wary of each other. There was no reason for Guhan to risk destroying the relationship between humans and angels to save Yuan Kou's life.
"Where is Artoria?
I have something to ask her! "Guhan took a deep breath and said.
Questions popped up one after another. After solving the question of who Gu Xuanwu's mother was, a new question popped up: when exactly did he have a relationship with Artoria?
In any case, it was absolutely impossible for the relationship to have occurred in the 18 years of Guhan's life.
What was even more ridiculous was that the relationship between Guhan and Artoria only existed in the game's dungeon. They had never even met in real life. To Artoria, Guhan was just a stranger. How could Guhan and Artoria have a daughter like Gu Xuanwu?
"Could it be that Artoria was the one who took the first kill a few months ago?"
Guhan couldn't help but think of the unsolved case that happened in Fort Yue Yang. Until now, Guhan still hadn't figured out who had killed him in real life.
"Are you sure you really want to know the answer to this question?"
Thousand Dou Isuzu smiled slightly. "Have you forgotten that someone once told you to never have any ideas about Miss Artoria before you become a sword wielder of the Immortal Sword Tier? Don't even try to find out anything related to her."
"You know Yi Qing?"
Guhan's eyes narrowed into slits. He didn't expect Thousand Dou Isuzu to not only know about the past between him and Artoria, but also Yi Qing. He even knew what Yi Qing had said to him in the game dungeon. Who was this Thousand Dou Isuzu?
What was his relationship with himself, Artoria, and Yi Qing?
"Not only do we know each other, but we are also very good friends!"
At this point, Thousand Dou Isuzu revealed a lingering look. "I know you must have a lot of questions to ask me, but in order to not destroy this world, the answers to these questions have to be experienced by you yourself. I can't answer you."
"…" Guhan was slightly disappointed. He thought that since Thousand Dou Isuzu told him so readily that Gu Xuanwu's mother was Artoria, then it was very likely that she would also tell him other secrets. He didn't expect that in the end, the truth was still hidden in the deep fog.
"Can you answer me this question: will I return to the past in the near future?
Did a lot of things happen in Yi Qing's era? "
This was the answer that Guhan could think of that was closest to the truth. Only by going back to the past could he explain many unexplainable things.
"You will know the truth sooner or later!
You just need to be patient, it won't be too long! "Thousand Dou Isuzu said.
"Are you really sick or pretending to be sick?"
Gu Han originally thought that Thousand Dou Isuzu was just pretending to be sick, but when he exposed Thousand Dou Isuzu's true identity, he found that Thousand Dou Isuzu was still lying weakly on the bed, as if he really didn't have long to live.
"Does it matter if I'm really sick or pretending to be sick?"
Thousand Dou Isuzu shook her head with difficulty. "I'm not sick, but I'm really dying!"
"Is there a way to save you?"
Guhan said solemnly. "It was you who raised Black Toria, allowing her to grow up on the basis of maternal love. This is what I need to thank you for.
If I can do it, you must tell me, I will do my best to save you. "
"Thank you so much!"
Thousand Dou Isuzu's face showed a strange expression. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad. "I said I'm not sick, I'm just dying.
People will grow old and die eventually, even the powerful Jiandi is no exception, right? "
"But you are not a person, you are Yuan Kou, and Yuan Kou will not die by himself!" Guhan replied dryly.
"You really don't know how to talk!"
Thousand Dou Isuzu forced a smile. "I don't have much time left, but before I die, I have a request. I hope that His Majesty Guhan can promise me!"
"Say it!"
"Before you know the truth, please don't tell Black Toria that I am not her mother. I don't want her to bear new grief when I die," Thousand Dou Isuzu begged.
"I promise you!"
Guhan nodded. "Actually, this is also my original plan. If Black Toria asks me who Artoria is and where she is, and I can't answer her questions, I think I will be very unhappy."
"Then I can only trouble His Majesty Guhan to accompany me for a few more days!" Thousand Dou Isuzu stretched out her pale white hand to Guhan. "Husband, is that okay?"
Looking at Thousand Dou Isuzu's hand, Guhan hesitated and did not move.
Thousand Dou Isuzu had already made it very clear that this was just an act for Gu Black Toria.
But Guhan faintly felt that if he really held that hand, he was afraid that he would have to bear more things.
"Mom!
Dad!
I cooked the noodles!
Can I bring it in? "At this moment, the door of the room was knocked again.
The one who spoke was Gu Black Toria. This guy actually took advantage of the time when Guhan and Thousand Dou Isuzu were chatting to cook the noodles.
It could be seen that Gu Black Toria sincerely hoped that Guhan and Thousand Dou Isuzu could reconcile, so that she could have a complete father and mother.
It could be imagined that if Gu Black Toria knew that Thousand Dou Isuzu was actually not her mother, and that she did not even know where her real mother was, her whole person might fall into a state of collapse.
Therefore, Gu Han's body immediately leaned forward, and grabbed Qian Dou Isuzu's outstretched hand.
At this moment, the door was also opened, and Gu Black Toria, who was carrying a large pot of steaming noodles, was surprised to see his father holding his mother's hand. Hot tears immediately flowed out of his eyes and dripped into the bowl of noodles.
"Mom!
This is the noodles that your daughter personally cooked, at least have a bite! "Gu Black Toria, with a face full of smiles and tears, walked to Thousand Dou Isuzu's side with the noodles.
"You bastard, hurry up and let go of your stinky hand, what are you doing holding it for!"
Thousand Dou Isuzu also had hot tears in her eyes as she pushed Guhan's hand away, and then took the hot noodles that Gu Black Toria brought over. She did not care about the temperature at all, and gulped it down in big mouthfuls. She did not look like a dying patient at all.
However, Gu Han could tell from Qian Dou Isuzu's trembling little finger that it was as if he had Parkinson's disease. Qian Dou Isuzu must have forcefully endured the pain to make such a healthy state, in order to make Gu Xuanwu feel at ease.
"You mother and daughter can chat!
I'm going out for a walk! "After saying that, Guhan directly got up and prepared to leave.
"Dad!
Can you leave after eating the noodles!
This is the noodles that your daughter personally cooked! "Gu Black Toria grabbed onto Guhan's clothes and said with a face full of expectation.
"Just one bowl!"
Guhan sighed. Gu Black Toria brought three bowls over, and it was obvious that he had already counted Guhan's portion.
As he ate the bowl of steaming hot noodles, Guhan's heart was extremely complicated.
A few months ago, he was only a child who was not even 18 years old. But now, he actually had a daughter, and it was a daughter who was the same age as him … But this daughter was also his own, and this was a responsibility that he could not escape from.
If it was just a biological daughter, it would be fine, but Gu Black Toria had connections with Thousand Dou Isuzu, Artoria, and even Yi Qing.
Coupled with the fact that he had heard from Fleeting Maple about the end of the human race, all of these things were like a huge quilt pressing down on Guhan's body, causing Guhan to feel a faint feeling of suffocation.
"Ah!
Gu Black Toria's noodles are quite delicious! "Guhan ate the entire bowl of noodles in one go.
