(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
Everyone could see through their words. But how could a five-year-old Gu Changqing see that?
He just kept pleading.
(Within the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
"Uncle, I can only eat one meal a day."
"No, one meal every other day."
"I can chop wood, hunt in the mountains..."
"If it's really impossible, please at least take this baby in. As long as she can survive..."
When the young Heavenly Emperor uttered the last sentence, he desperately stood on both knees and begged the middle-aged man. However, the middle-aged man remained unmoved.
...
(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
"I never expected that the mighty Heavenly Emperor would kneel down and beg..."
Someone murmured involuntarily.
It couldn't be helped, after all.
This scene was too shocking for them. The Heavenly Emperor, who held supreme power in the Heavenly Palace, where all races bowed beneath him and trembled under his authority, actually kneeled and begged a mortal.
However, many people's gazes didn't contain mockery.
They felt it was truly commendable of him to do this for his younger sister.
The young Heavenly Emperor was indeed very good to his sister.
However, noticing the pity in everyone's eyes, including Gu Yuwei's, Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly.
He immediately spoke, "When a person doesn't even care about their dignity, they aren't far from becoming something evil."
"I have already figured out that after experiencing some difficulties, the young Heavenly Emperor would inevitably abandon Yuwei. And now, it has indeed come true."
"Perhaps, in his eyes at the moment, Young Yuwei could have lived better by leaving him, but he has ultimately abandoned her, hasn't he?"
"Perhaps, in his heart, he has always seen Yuwei as a burden."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the pity in the eyes of the crowd disappeared in an instant.
Indeed, his words made sense.
From an adult's perspective, Uncle and his family were heartless, but abandoning Yuwei to them wasn't a good move either.
Looking at it this way, the young Heavenly Emperor clearly regarded Yuwei as a burden and handed her over to his Uncle's family.
"Sure enough, Young Master Ye is amazing, you can predict the future."
"To think that he could predict that the young Heavenly Emperor would abandon Yuwei after finding it difficult for one person to survive."
"Young Master Ye's foresight is truly unparalleled. No wonder he successfully led us to attack the Heavenly Palace."
"Young Master Ye has a keen eye. We admire you."
The flattery from the crowd made Ye Chen's lips involuntarily curl up.
He glanced at Gu Yuwei proudly.
"Is this what he think?" Gu Youwei's eyes darkened.
Seeing Gu Changqing beg for her sake earlier stirred a bit of hope in her.
But now, she felt nothing but hatred at that moment.
"So, he just carried me out of the mountains and abandoned me..."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
...
(Within the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
"Husband, I think we should agree to Changqing's request." Aunt seemed unable to bear it and persuaded her husband softly, "The little baby eats little, and when she grows up, she can marry Yi. It can save us a lot of money, and besides, she can help us with chores."
The middle-aged man remained silent, seemingly still considering.
The young Heavenly Emperor didn't know what a foster daughter-in-law was. He only knew marriage was a close relationship.
So, he smiled foolishly, "Yes, yes, she can marry Yi."
...
(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
When everyone saw this scene, all the cultivators showed disgust toward the young Heavenly Emperor's expression.
"Sure enough, he regards Miss Yuwei as a burden and lets her become someone else's foster daughter-in-law!"
Ye Chen curled his mouth even more. "Just as I said, perhaps from this moment on, a seed of evil will sprout in the heart of the Heavenly Emperor."
Gu Yuwei's expression became extremely cold, especially when she saw the young Heavenly Emperor's bright smile as he agreed to let her become a foster daughter-in-law.
The endless hatred in her eyes erupted like a raging wave in her heart.
The sliver of hope she once had for the young Heavenly Emperor had disappeared entirely at this moment.
...
(Within the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
"Changqing, we'll adopt this baby in for you."
"You should leave now. If you cry and scream like this and the neighbors hear it, they might say we're heartless."
Saying this, Aunt pulled up Gu Changqing and pushed his frail body out the door.
The wooden door closed, and candlelight flickered in the room. The baby wrapped in a quilt seemed tired from crying and clenched its tiny fists and sucking on them, falling into a deep sleep.
After pausing for a moment, Gu Changqing left without looking back.
Like a lone wolf, he headed into the mountains.
(Outside the Ancient Bronze Mirror)
At this moment, everyone showed disappointment.
Indeed, a child was still a child.
In just one day, he forgot his words. He not only failed to protect his baby younger sister but also threw her into the fire pit.
Although they clearly knew in their heart that Gu Yuwei didn't become the foster daughter-in-law of Uncle's family but was adopted by a senior of an ancient sect, they still felt unbearable anger.
