我的美好欲望

Luo Xiao\'s words managed to calm down the chaotic emotions stirring in the hearts of the various Gu family members. They could not help but feel somewhat complicated as they witnessed how reasonable he was behaving at such a young age.

Luo Xiao\'s alleged mother was originally the only young miss in her generation, and she was spoiled by every member of the family. She had been raised to become a genuine noble lady that everyone adored, but she was headstrong and did not often listen to reason.

It might sound odd that when Luo Xiao spoke, he did not seem to hold much affection for this said mother, and instead somewhat condemned her actions, which could be considered unfilial and questionable as he was her child, but Luo Xiao could not genuinely appreciate such a person.

This Miss Gu was not a made-up character. When Luo Xiao accepted the identity as her son, he had naturally read up on everything he could find, and what he found made him feel rather repulsive towards her actions.

Gu Xingxi, the only miss of the Gu family, was spoiled and arrogant from a young age. She was used to everyone giving in to her, and would often use her family background to intimidate others.

She had a record of beating and even killing her servants if they were making her unhappy, and she did not care at all about the common people.

She was, in Luo Xiao\'s eyes, unlikeable and overly willful. As time went by, even the Gu family was aware of her temper being too volatile, and wanted to help her settle down in a smaller family. They specifically decided on a family with less influence, as they wanted this family to ensure that her husband would never take in concubines and would be faithful to Gu Xingxi for life.

Unfortunately, she did not appreciate the good intentions of her family elders. She refused to marry anyone of a lower status and also felt that she deserved the most outstanding genius in the whole world. She wanted to marry the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor was, at this point in time, already much older than Gu Xingxi, and it was around the time where his final wife, the mother of Jiang Bai, had died.

He had made it clear that he would no longer want any women to stay by his side, but Gu Xingxi was furious and unwilling to accept the refusal, so she decided to leave the Gu family during the night, and run to Cloudsoar City on her own, where she would marry her dream husband and live out a life of happiness.

Unfortunately, the world was not that simple. Gu Xingxi was a well-known arrogant beauty, and although her temper was horrible, her appearance was among the best.

As she left home without telling anyone in advance, she did not bring any guards, and on the road she, unfortunately, met a group of robbers where she lost her life.

The true reason for her running away from home was never known to the common people, but a few words had been circulated by the servants, who had overheard her complaining about how her family refused to let her marry the man of her dreams.

From these rumors, many began to suspect that Miss Gu had eloped with her lover, but the truth was vastly different.

Luo Xiao, as a person who had suffered greatly as a child, and who even lost his adoptive parent, felt very indignant when he witnessed such an arrogant woman.

Her actions had caused her to lose her life, but while her life was over, the rest of her dear ones would have to live forever with the loss. She had been pampered and loved, but was willful and hurt those who held her dear.

Now that Luo Xiao was supposed to be her son, he was not able to display any filial piety towards such a parent. He was well aware that many would consider him cold-blooded, and that he was greedy for wealth and abandoning his heritage, but Luo Xiao did not care about such gossip. To him, it was more important to be true to his own morals than to have a good reputation.

"Tianyu, I understand your thoughts. Your cousin and I did, indeed, get overly excited, but we have long since wished for your return to the family. When Xingxi left, many were heartbroken, so while she can no longer return, it is good enough to have you back.

"However, as you said, she did make some mistakes, so we can naturally not give you access to our resources and help unconditionally.

"Even so, do not doubt that you belong to our Gu family, so settle down slowly and adapt to your new environment. We hope that you can get familiar with everything as soon as possible and work hard to increase your cultivation."

Gu Xingyu did feel slightly guilty as he spoke. He quickly realized that both he and his silly son had been acting overly excited and messed up. Fortunately their master had such good taste, and their second master was so quick witted that he managed to solve the whole problem on his own.

The praise for Luo Xiao was never-ending in the mind of Gu Xingyu, and if possible, he would definitely be verbally displaying his unyielding and eternal loyalty and admiration, if not for the unsuitable situation.

Fortunately, not only Gu Xingyu seemed to realize the mistake, Gu Tianhu was also quickly made aware of how his stoic demeanor was completely lost, and the smiling face instantly turned expressionless once more.

Unfortunately, it was a bit too late, and the younger generation felt even more speechless as they witnessed the swift change in expression.
