C4293 Two Choices(part I)
They're innocent. Why can't I give them the best protection as a father? These are all things that I have to do, why can't I make a choice? If I can die for them, why am I the City Lord? Why...0
The grief in the City Lord's heart was indescribable. This kind of pain was what all the City Lords in this chaotic world should experience. However, some made the choice of their father, while others made the choice of the City Lord. No matter what choice they made, it was the right one, but it was also the wrong one.
The City Lord had just received the news. He immediately recalled that he could not stop the competition midway. He might as well call back his daughter, even if she was a lot more selfish. Even if he was blamed by everyone, as long as his daughter was fine, it would be fine.
As long as it was for his daughter's safety, so what if everyone in the world called him selfish?
Gu Qingming could clearly see the City Lord's intention, but he shook his head and said, "I advise you not to. Demon Emperor has a very keen sense of smell. He had never given himself away in the past few decades. No matter what happened this time... You and I can only watch from the side, unless he completely appears. Otherwise, you and I can't enter. Remember, this is the choice you should make as the City Lord."
The City Lord could no longer withstand the pressure in his heart and fell to his knees. His eyes were red as he begged, "Sir, please save my daughter. I'd rather die than... I don't want to give up my daughter. She is my life!"
Gu Qingming's expression became very complicated. There was pity in his eyes, but that kind of pity seemed to be even deeper. It seemed that Gu Qingming also had some hidden secrets.
Gu Qingming gently exhaled and slowly said, "I can understand your feelings. If it was not for the last moment, no one should give up on anyone. If she understood your situation, she would blame you. I will atone for your crimes, because I have suffered such injuries before. But don't be so depressed, the good thing about misfortune is... This time, not only did a Demon Emperor sneak into the Selection Competition..."
The City Lord's face turned pale, "Not only one Demon Emperor has entered the ___, could it be that there is another Demon Emperor?! I am a city dweller who has been through many disasters! "
Gu Qingming patted the City Lord's shoulder and said, "Not just one Demon Emperor, but also a human Martial Monarch. Can you hear me out?"
The City Lord was stunned. He could not understand why Gu Qingming could always enjoy himself in suffering. Obviously, Gu Qingming had never had any good experiences since he was young. He had even told the city lord that he had also suffered the tragedy of being abandoned. However, Gu Qingming seemed to be enjoying himself in the midst of suffering. How could he joke around?
How many things had his heart gone through to become so strong?
The city lord responded and asked, "Are you saying that there was a human Martial Monarch that had mixed in? Who is it? Could it be Su Mu, the Martial Monarch, who is known for his secretive abilities among the officials? Or was it another great scholar? Or perhaps, you have already planned this a long time ago?"
This was the only thing that the City Lord could imagine. After all, he knew that such a great chaos would not be simple. Someone should have made preparations in advance!
However, Gu Qingming continued to shake his head. He looked at Gu Qingming, who was keeping him in suspense. The City Lord felt a headache coming on. He really couldn't appreciate Gu Qingming's suffering. If it wasn't because Gu Qingming was a highly respected scholar...
