Although Ming Chen's decision was won by Qin Min, the power of interpretation was still Gu Beiyue's.
Qin Min could see Little Ming Chen's nervousness. She immediately shifted her seat and sat beside Little Ming Chen. Although she didn't say anything to comfort him, this action gave little Ming Chen a sense of security. Little Ming Chen let go of the little thing and boldly looked his father in the eye.
Lil Thing heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Qin Min and Little Ming Chen, then at Gu Beiyue. Finally, he sat down in front of Gu Beiyue, as if they were on the same side.
Gu Beiyue looked at Little Mingchen seriously and said, "Daddy, let me tell you a story first."
Gu Beiyue was telling the story of the Shadow Clan ancestor and Empress Xi Qin. This was also the reason why the Shadow Clan protected the West Qin Imperial Clan with their lives.
Hundreds of years ago, a ShadowClan leader fell in love with the Empress of Xi Qin. Although he was unable to protect her, he insisted on leading her out of the palace. In the end, the queen died on the way to flight. Because of the death of the Western Qin empress, the Western Qin emperor wanted to slaughter the entire Shadow Clan. The ancestors made a promise that the Shadow Clan would protect the Western Qin Imperial Clan for generations, never ever betraying the will to save the Shadow Clan. The entire Shadow Clan, from the Chief to the ordinary clansmen, were all Shadow Guards. They all had masters. Some protected one master, while others protected one master.
It had to be said that there were far too few people who knew of this truth. Everyone knew that the Shadow Clan had been loyal to the Western Qin Imperial Clan since ancient times and had protected them with their lives. However, they did not know that there was such a cruel reason behind it.
Little Ming Chen incredulously said, "Daddy, so you're saying that after we become sinners, the Shadow Clan's guardian is redemption?"
Redemption?
Qin Min glanced at Little Ming Chen and frowned. Without a doubt, this truth was also very surprising and unbelievable to her.
However, Gu Beiyue gave Little Ming Chen a negative answer. He said, "No, this is only the Shadow Clan protecting the Western Qin Imperial Clan. Before that, the protection of the Shadow Clan had already existed, and had nothing to do with the West Qin Empire. "
Qin Min and Little Ming Chen were even more surprised. Little Ming Chen asked anxiously, "Then what is the real protection of the ShadowClan?"
Gu Beiyue smiled and patted little Mingchen on the head. "He's protecting his most beloved with his life."
The people of Shadow Clan used to be the most devoted of lovers. No matter if it was a man or a woman, as long as it was someone they cared about, they would protect them with their life. Back then, the ancestors had promised to protect the West Qin imperial family with their lives for generations, which meant that the descendants of the Shadow Clan would be given their lives to the West Qin imperial family, not to their beloved. In other words, he wanted the descendants of the Shadow Clan, Sun Batian, to have absolute love.
Grandfather didn't tell Gu Beiyue whether the promise he made to the West Qin imperial family was requested by the West Qin emperor or from his ancestors. Other than his ancestors and the Emperor of the West Qin, no one else knew the truth. And no matter who suggested it, it would be the cruelest punishment.
With a mission on their shoulders and their lives on the verge of being sacrificed, between the royal family and their loved ones, they could only choose the former. Move the true love has the concern, has the concern does not deserve to be the shadow guard.
After the protection had been fated, most of the women of the Shadow Clan would end up alone, and all the men of the Shadow Clan would, without exception, reach the age of marriage. They would take wives, give birth to children, and pass on their lives from generation to generation, regardless of love. Later on, during the Qin War, the Shadow Clan martyred almost all of the West Qin Imperial Clan, leaving behind a secret branch to search for the remnants of the West Qin Imperial Clan. After that, many of his descendants suffered from strange diseases and died. No one could tell whether this strange disease was a result of his Shadowmeld or from his mother's clan. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Gradually, the number of disciples became fewer and fewer.
When Gu Beiyue was six, he watched his father die in the medicinal bath, his mother following him. He had inherited the ShadowClan's mission from his grandfather, so he knew the truth behind ShadowClan's protection. It was also during that year that he left Medical City with his grandfather and went to Tianning's capital. His grandfather had become the chief imperial physician of Tianning's great hospital. He followed by his grandfather's side every day, going in and out of the court, interacting with the court …
Gu Beiyue hadn't recalled these things in a long, long time, and couldn't help but be immersed in his memories. Qin Min looked at him, lost in her thoughts.
Little Ming Chen muttered: "To use his life to protect the person he loves the most … Then wouldn't big brother have it both ways? "
Gu Beiyue and Qin Min were both immersed in their own worlds.
Little Ming Chen pondered for a moment before looking at Qin Min with melancholy. He sighed, "Mother, Daddy can't use his life to protect you. Daddy's life belongs to the Great Qin …"
Gu Beiyue and Qin Min came to their senses and looked at Little Ming Chen at the same time. Just as Qin Min was about to speak, Little Ming Chen laughed and said, "But it doesn't matter, Daddy's life is in the Great Qin and Daddy's heart is in the mother's, right?"
Qin Min didn't reply, she only smiled.
Gu Beiyue didn't reply, but looked out of the corner of his eye at Qin Min.
Little Ming Chen thought for a moment, then mumbled to herself, "When I grow up and get married, I'll ask the bride if she wants my life or my heart. If she wants my life, I will not marry her. If she wants my heart, I will marry her. "
Qin Min smiled. She stroked Little Mingchen's bald head and said, "You should return the favor. Otherwise, your heart will only be given to Buddha."
Little Ming Chen also stroked her little bald head and said in a serious tone, "I still need to give Buddha a few more years. I'm not like big brother, who wants to get married just because I'm young."
This time, even Gu Beiyue smiled.
Little Ming Chen's black eyes rolled around as he timidly asked, "Father, mother, what exactly do you want me to choose? ShadowClan wouldn't have any other mission, right? "
Qin Min said seriously, "Ming Chen, if you really want to learn the art of shadow, you have to be trained by the age of ten at the latest. Back then, your brother was lost. Your mother was too sad, so she didn't want you to live under the ShadowClan's orders like your brother did. That's why she asked your father to give you the right to choose when you were ten. Your father agreed to it... "
To exist because of the ShadowClan's mission, just like big brother?
Little Ming Chen had never felt this way before, so he didn't notice this. However, when Gu Beiyue heard this, he immediately looked towards Qin Min. As if he'd realized something, the light in his eyes changed slightly.
Qin Min continued, "Ming Chen, you are not even ten years old yet. But Dad and Mom decided to tell you the truth first. Remember, mother has her mother's preferences and father has his responsibilities, so you don't need to worry about us. It's a matter of your life. You think carefully before you make your choice. When your brother is ten, he will be able to take charge of himself. Your mother believes that you can make a choice that you don't regret. "
Little Ming Chen's childish face turned serious. He didn't immediately reply to his mother, but rather seriously thought about what his mother had said just now.
For a moment, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Qin Min looked at little Ming Chen, but didn't know that Gu Beiyue was looking at her. In the silence, even the wind seemed to have stopped blowing.
After an unknown amount of time, Little Ming Chen finally opened her mouth. "Mother, there's no need to wait for ten years, I …"
Suddenly, Gu Beiyue interrupted Little Ming Chen …
