Chapter 3388: Joining the Fun
Gu Hanyu's deep voice echoed across the icy land, "The rules this ancestor left behind were to maintain blood purity as much as possible, not to completely forbid marrying outsiders."
"Moreover, even if marrying outsiders, is this ancestor's Cold Plum bloodline so easily affected?"
"Men and women marrying of their own free will, as long as they don't do anything to harm the Holy Land or the Gu family, there's no need to obstruct."
"Rules are made by people and can be changed by people. Rules are dead, people are alive. One must know how to be flexible, otherwise how can one prove the Great Dao?"
"This time, young friend Lin entered the Nine Extremes Glacier and helped this ancestor greatly. To this ancestor and the entire Cold Water Holy Land, it's a great kindness."
"This ancestor approves of Hanyu and young friend Lin's marriage. No further opposition is allowed."
As the ancestor of the Gu family, his words were as good as law. No one in the Gu family dared to oppose.
Especially as he spoke, their bloodlines boiled non-stop. The Gu family members knew that the ancestor had engraved some words into their bloodlines.
All the elders present said in unison, "We obey the ancestor's decree!"
"Gu family descendants, cultivate well. If one day you can prove the Great Dao, this ancestor will welcome you all in the Outer Great Dao."
Gu Hanyu waved his large hand, and the cold plum blossoms exploded, turning into streams of cold air that entered the bodies of all Gu family members.
Their bloodlines roared and boiled, shaking the surroundings.
"My bloodline has improved!"
"This old man's bloodline has increased by at least 30%."
"My cultivation that had stagnated for many years has finally progressed again!"
One by one, the Gu family elders were overjoyed. Then everyone kowtowed simultaneously, shouting in unison, "Thank you, ancestor!"
At this moment, they no longer had any doubts about Gu Hanyu's identity.
Who else could improve their bloodlines? Besides their own ancestor, no one had such ability.
The cold plum blossoms completely dispersed, and the light from the bloodline jade tablet also dimmed. The bit of power Gu Hanyu had left in it was also exhausted.
Lin Moyu looked at Gu Hanbing, "Does Ice Ancestor still want to oppose?"
Gu Hanbing's mouth twitched twice, and she lowered her voice, "The ancestor has spoken. Naturally, the Gu family members must obey the ancestor's orders."
Old Gu Cang laughed heartily, "The ancestor has spoken. Who would dare oppose now? Young friend Lin, what exactly did you see in the Nine Extremes Glacier? Can you tell us?"
Lin Moyu was prepared. He took out a jade tablet, "Everything that can be said is in here. Some things can't be said, so elders, please don't ask."
Old Gu Cang laughed heartily, "Good, good, good. We won't ask if we can't. Let this old man take a look quickly."
After looking at the contents of the jade tablet, he frowned slightly, "To think the ancestor has been in the ninth extreme all along. What a pity. We descendants are incompetent. In countless years, no one has been able to enter the ninth extreme."
"Fortunately, it was young friend Lin. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known the ancestor was well."
Lin Moyu smiled but didn't say anything.
Actually, it wasn't that the descendants were incompetent, but that heaven and earth restricted them. The entire Origin Continent was in a special state where no one could break through to the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm, so naturally no one could enter the ninth extreme.
This restriction had only started to loosen in the past few hundred years. It was believed that before long, the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm would appear.
The jade tablet was passed among the elders, and everyone learned about some of the situations in the Nine Extremes Glacier.
They were all somewhat surprised that Lin Moyu could really reach the ninth extreme and see Gu Hanyu.
At this time, Gu Hanyu's ears twitched slightly, and she said loudly, "Elders, the matter of recruiting disciples this year has been delayed for over ten days. We can't keep putting it off. Hanyu needs to go handle it first."
"Or if the elders think someone else should handle it, Hanyu will hand over the authority."
Gu Hanyu was still the Holy Lord now, so the affairs within the Holy Land still needed to be handled by her.
Because Lin Moyu had entered the Nine Extremes Glacier, the matter of recruiting disciples had been delayed.
Those disciples who had passed the first test had already been staying in the Cold Water Holy Land for over ten days.
There was also Wu Xingguang who had come to propose marriage and had been staying for over ten days.
Now that Lin Moyu had returned, Gu Hanyu had received reports from her subordinates and wanted to continue this matter.
There were many things to do in the Holy Land, and some matters required the Holy Lord's decision.
Gu Hanbing said, "You're still the Holy Lord now. Even if you're going to get married, there's no rush. Go handle the matters at hand first."
Gu Hanyu said, "Alright, Hanyu will handle all the affairs well. Ice Ancestor, please don't worry."
Gu Hanbing said, "What do I have to worry about? The ancestor knows your abilities. After you've handled the matters at hand, choose a successor. We'll all be at ease with whoever you choose."
Actually, Gu Hanbing trusted Gu Hanyu very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done this.
Lin Moyu even saw a hint of reluctance in her eyes. It was just because she was too rule-abiding, not because she was targeting Gu Hanyu.
Gu Hanyu nodded, "Hanyu understands. Then Hanyu will go do her work first."
Old Gu Cang smiled, "Girl Hanyu, before you go, send us old fellows back first. Otherwise, it'll be too troublesome for us to return."
As soon as Old Gu Cang said this, it immediately drew kind laughter from the other elders, "Yes, send us old fellows back first."
The elders were clearly joking with Gu Hanyu, showing that their usual relationship wasn't bad.
After all, barring accidents, Gu Hanyu would become an elder like them in the future.
They were all Gu family elders, so naturally they had to be polite to each other.
In the Gu family, there weren't many power struggles.
Gu Hanyu used the Origin Spirit Vein to send these elders back.
Finally, only Lin Moyu and Little Mei were left. Gu Hanyu said, "Do you want to come with me?"
Lin Moyu said, "If it's convenient, I'll also go see how you recruit disciples. Join in the fun."
Little Mei giggled, "Actually, Teacher wants to see how that Wu Xingguang proposes marriage."
Gu Hanyu said, "Then let's go together."
...
In the great hall of Gu Hanyu's Holy Land, Gu Hanyu sat on the Holy Throne.
Lin Moyu and Little Mei sat to the lower left of Gu Hanyu. Their status was quite special at the moment.
Only the elders knew about his relationship with Gu Hanyu. The other disciples didn't know.
After discussing with several elders, Gu Hanyu gave Lin Moyu the status of a guest elder.
With this status, Lin Moyu naturally had the right to sit here.
Gu Hanyu lightly tapped the armrest, and her dignified, cold voice sounded, "Bring them in."
Soon after, two Holy Land disciples led seven young people into the great hall.
The seven young people, three males and four females, were all ordinary people, looking only about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Lin Moyu glanced at them and found that their aptitudes weren't bad. They were all seedlings for cultivation.
However, according to the Cold Water Holy Land's requirements, they might not meet the standard.
After bringing the people in, the Holy Land disciple bowed to Gu Hanyu, "Greetings to the Holy Lord. The people have been brought. This year, a total of 347 people entered the Cold Ice Ancient Path. Among them, 280 people didn't complete two-thirds of it."
"Of the remaining 67 people, 60 didn't complete the full course. Only these seven completed the full course. The detailed information of the seven is here."
This disciple respectfully handed over a jade tablet containing the seven people's information to Gu Hanyu.
Gu Hanyu took the jade tablet and began to check it. It contained various information about the seven people, including their backgrounds and ages.
Little Mei whispered in Lin Moyu's ear, "Master's Wife looks so dignified now."
Lin Moyu was also admiring Gu Hanyu at this moment. Having held a high position for a long time, Gu Hanyu had an aura that ordinary cultivators couldn't compare to.
