Xia Mian furrowed her brows, feeling quite surprised by Gu Zhi's question, "You don't want to return to the Gu Family?"
Before Qin Shuang died, she entrusted Gu Zhi to Xia Mian, asking her to take him to the Gu Family for hopefully a better future. Now, Gu Zhi tells her he doesn't want to return to the Gu Family!
Gu Zhi's face was grim, his voice like a buzzing mosquito, "Miss Xia, do you think I'm useless..."
She didn't want to cultivate the Heartless Dao, afraid it would make her forget those she didn't wish to forget.
"You're not useless, but sending you back to the Gu Family was Qin Shuang's dying wish. She's gone, and I have to fulfill her last request," Xia Mian said, with a meaningful smile at her lips. "You don't want to go back because you lack confidence in yourself?"
Gu Zhi didn't speak, only lowered his head further.
