Chapter 1208 - Extreme Contradiction!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the sharpness of a woman’s instinct, it’d really be weird if she didn’t notice anything unusual about Gu Han! But the most remarkable thing was that this lady never requested anything, hiding it in her heart, fearing that it would destroy this beautiful marriage if she brought it up.

To be able to spend some years with the person she loves deeply, she was already content, with no other requests...

Her only worry was her own daughter...

Perhaps, it was this devoted love and forgiving understanding that left Gu Han in such great agony until now...

Extreme about love, feelings, and matters of the heart... this intentional act left him in unforgettable agony for thousands of years! Especially when there was Qiao Ying, who constantly reminded him about it...

“I had wanted to entrust Ying’er to a trustworthy relative, for her to live an ordinary but sufficient life. But I found out that she has the All Seeing Eye!”

Gu Han let out a trembling sigh and remained silent for a while. “The War for Seizing the Heavens back then, the stealth techniques of the strange races had caused us unimaginable deaths and losses! So I... so I...”

“So you brought your own daughter into Mount Heaven Saint, and using the responsibility of ‘the sake of the world’ and imprisoned your own daughter for thousands of years, and because of this, ruined her lifelong happiness! What a great father!” Jun Mo Xie said coldly.

To be honest, Jun Mo Xie also couldn’t help but let out a sincere sigh. How many sacrifices did these people from the three Holy Lands make for the War for Seizing the Heavens? They definitely did not just sacrifice their own lives—they sacrificed their kinships, friendships, relationships, and everything!

Are they fools? Are they stupid? Are they noble? Are they worthy of admiration? Or worthy of being spit on and cursed at?

At this moment, Jun Mo Xie only felt very confused. He could criticize Gu Han as a father, condemn him for being a heartless lover, but Jun Mo Xie couldn’t find a suitable reason to scold him for everything else!

He really didn’t know how he should judge this sort of spirit! Should he praise him or condemn him...

Looking at Gu Han before him, Jun Mo Xie really didn’t know how he should see him. Should I admire him? Or look down on him? Scold him? Or praise him?

Those who were pitiful must have something to be despised. This statement was extremely true!

He was truly the first person who was able to make Jun Mo Xie to feel this conflicted throughout both his livetimes!

Jun Mo Xie despised him to the extreme and looked down on him in disdain. But he also secretly admired and revered him! If he was in Gu Han’s position, Jun Mo Xie didn’t know if he would be able to make such a great sacrifice!

Even if he really made the world his responsibility, he couldn’t! Even though he was not as heartless as Gu Han, he was also not as compassionate as Gu Han. But Gu Han’s heartlessness was to his own family. His compassion was to the rest of the world.

And Jun Mo Xie was the complete opposite of him!

Gu Han was vicious and merciless. He truly thought about the world, the welfare of the common people! Speaking of his benevolence, yet having to watch his wife pass on and nurture his own daughter into a weapon for the War for Seizing the Heavens with his own hands!

He was sincere to the world, his ideals and honor, but he was truly vicious and heartless to his own kin!

If it were you, how would you judge this person?

“I guess... since Qiao Ying followed her mother’s surname, she probably doesn’t know about her birth? And that she has such a great father!” Jun Mo Xie asked coldly. With Qiao Ying’s ‘current’ birth, it was too easy for Gu Han to make false arrangement with his abilities!

“Of course she doesn’t, how could I let her know... I already owe the both of them too much...” Gu Han replied bleakly.

“I genuinely feel proud for Qiao Ying to have a great and admirable father like you!” Jun Mo Xie said mockingly. “You have indeed given up your all for the Holy Lands! To be able to treat your beloved as a tool for cultivation. To treat your own daughter as a weapon. And even devoted your lifetimes to it! How admirable!”

Gu Han gritted his teeth, as if there was a tremendous ache in his heart. He suddenly yelled. “In my two lifetimes, she is my only child! How could I not wish to find a good family for my own daughter? Let her live comfortably?! How could I not wish to give her the love and joy of a family that she deserves?! I wished to! How could I not! I wished for it so badly! But... if I did that, then what would the rest of the world do? Without the aid of Qiao Ying’s All Seeing Eye, am I supposed to watch my brothers die in the hands of the strange races, one by one? All of them forced to perish with the strange races and sacrifice themselves valiantly??”

“Indeed! I have despicably sacrificed my daughter’s lifelong happiness! But do you know many losses my daughter saved the Holy Lands from?”

Gu Han clenched his fists. “These are also my brothers! It can’t be that my daughter should go and enjoy her happiness, but they should die!”

“True! There’s nothing wrong with your logic! But what you shouldn’t have done, which is also what irks me, is that you had placed this heavy responsibility all on a girl!” Jun Mo Xie said coldly. “Then what use is there for men in this world?!”

“Those brothers of yours already enjoyed whatever they should’ve enjoyed! Beautiful wives and children! In batches! For thousands of years, just their own families alone would be able to make a mountain of bones! Why didn’t you talk about these?” Jun Mo Xie said harshly. “They’ve already enjoyed things that normal people are unable to enjoy! Even if they were to die, they deserve it!

“But you made your own daughter spend thousands of years without any color in her life! How cruel can you be, oh great father?!

“This world is a patriarchal society! At the same time men enjoy their special authority, they also carry a corresponding responsibility! If all those responsibilities that should be borne by men are carried by women, in exchange for the survival of men, if those brothers of yours still have a bit of conscience, they would’ve killed themselves from being so ashamed! Instead of shamelessly use that woman’s talent as a shortcut to their victory to obtain their honor and praise! A victory like this is dirty! And downright despicable!”

“You all! Even though you’ve done a lot for this continent, it is all shameful!!

“You should feel humiliated if you are still a man, to get this sort of safety! If you still have the pride of a man, you should feel ashamed! Protecting the common lives of the world like this is worthless!”

“War has always belonged to men! Thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands of men dying on the battlefield is what should happen! But you make this vulnerable woman go into battle to kill the enemy, to carry such a heavy burden, even at the price of the woman’s lifelong happiness, of her remaining alone for eternity. Can you really not feel any guilt?!”

Jun Mo Xie was not only a classic angry youth, but also a male chauvinist!

In his previous life, every time he saw any royal family send out a princess for political marriage, he would start cursing!

Why should the women be pushed out to sacrifice themselves for a war that belongs to men?

Harmony and peace were exchanged using a woman! How could all the men continue to live without any guilt! In such great prosperity? What sort of ridiculous argument!

Bullsh*t logic! Ballless logic!

So when he heard that Gu Han had sacrificed his own daughter, Jun Mo Xie’s words became sharp and incisive! Leaving no mercy!

From Gu Han’s perspective, perhaps there was nothing wrong. It may even be worthy of praise. But Jun Mo Xie would never acknowledge of this sort of method!

Perhaps he may have been too extreme in his speech, but Jun Mo Xie was an extreme person! And this sort of thinking was deeply rooted in him!

If someone told him that the world would be at peace and the continent would be safe if he sacrificed Mei Xue Yan, or any woman in the Jun Family, Jun Mo Xie’s first reaction would be to slaughter this person’s nine generations!

Gu Han listened to Jun Mo Xie’s criticism, but did not say a word.

After a long while, he gently sighed and said. “Regardless of whether my decision back then was right or wrong, it has already been done! Now, Ying’er is over there with you. I entrust you with her safety! Whether we survive this battle, it is up to the heavens! But if she’s able to survive, I hope that you will help me take good care of her!”

Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly. “Did you finally remember that she’s your daughter only now? Only remembering your relationship with her after thousands of years? Finally remembering your only child right before your demise? Gu Han, you’re such a hypocrite!”

“Call me a hypocrite, shameful, or despicable! So what! Whatever you say!” Gu Han’s voice also turned agitated. “It ultimately cannot cover the fact that blood is thicker than water!”

“Of course the truth cannot be covered! But I have no responsibility to take care of your daughter! Why should I carry this responsibility? On what basis?” Jun Mo Xie said indifferently. “This is your own matter, you sort it out yourself!”

“I want you to marry her!” Gu Han suddenly turned around and grabbed Jun Mo Xie by the collar. “Marry her, take good care of her! I can tell that in her thousand years of life, she is only different towards you!” He uttered through gritted teeth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What a joke, I should marry her just because she treats me differently?” Jun Mo Xie scoffed coldly. “Then, there’s a whole ton of women that I really should marry in this world! The way I see it, all women who are a little attractive treat me differently! Then should I marry all of them?”

“I don’t care about other people! But you must take good care of my daughter!” Gu Han panted his breath and suddenly smiled cunningly. “Jun Mo Xie, that is all I have to say! Did you think that I can’t see that bit of lust you have? What a joke, we are all men! When you first came to Mount Heaven Saint, I could already tell! Only you are suitable for Ying’er in this world!”

“Of course I have lust! Anyone who is a man will be lustful! You’ll take a few more looks if you see a pretty lady as long as you are a man!” Jun Mo Xie was not ashamed, not turning red despite being called out by the girl’s father. Instead, he spoke fiercely. “I only wanted to play around. I do not have the slightest intention to marry her! Not even talking about anything else, just the fact that she is your daughter, this daddy says he is not going to marry her! And I will not!”
