Chapter 757: 349 Surprise (first update) _3 Chapter 757: 349 Surprise (first update) _3 The move seemed simple, but that moment carried an infinite sense of murderous intent, stirring up even the wind and the sand, causing the leaves to rustle.

Gu Jiao’s mask almost got blown off.

She blinked her bright eyes, took out her little notebook, and wrote briskly, “What kind of move is this?”

Old Duke patiently explained, “This is called ‘Middle Four’, which belongs to the Middle-Level Spear Technique. It is the essence of the Six Combinations Spear Technique and ranks first among all moves. It seems simple but is actually infinitely changeable. Don’t practice anything else for now, just this one. Give it a try.”

Gu Jiao took the Red-Tasseled Spear and tried it out.

…of course, it wasn’t quite right.

Old Duke said, “Don’t worry, take it slowly.”

Back in the day, his master had him practicing this move for five years. He never understood his master’s insight back then. Only years later did he realize that the essence of the spear technique was hidden within this move.

Gu Jiao practiced for a while until beads of sweat covered her forehead.

Feeling that they had practiced enough for the day, Old Duke said, “We’ll continue some other day. It’s late. Are you hungry, Brother Gu? I can treat you to some donkey meat. There’s a spot that sells donkey meat buns next door. Think you’ll like it?”

Gu Jiao propped up the Red-Tasseled Spear, hugging it in her arms. She took out her little notebook and wrote, “I have something to do tonight, I’ll go have donkey meat buns with you another day.”

“I see.” A hint of disappointment flickered in Old Duke’s eyes.

Gu Jiao looked at him and wrote, “You seem troubled?”

“No, not really.” He just wanted to have a drink.

Gu Jiao continued to write briskly, “We are sworn brothers, and brothers share everything.”

Brother Gu was definitely a trustworthy person, and indeed, Old Duke had been troubled for a long time recently about a matter he could not make up his mind about.

After some hesitation, he cleared his throat and said, “Brother Gu, suppose you have a friend.”

Here it comes, ‘a friend’.

Gu Jiao immediately understood!

Old Duke opened his mouth, then continued, “If he wants to do something that goes against the norm, would you support him, or not?”

Gu Jiao wrote, “It depends on what kind of unconventional thing he wants to do.”

Old Duke cleared his throat, “Like… running away with someone?”

Ah, the old man wants to elope with someone!

Without any hesitation, Gu Jiao wrote, “Support!”

Old Duke looked stunned.

Are you not going to hesitate, even for a moment? Aren’t you being quite rash?

Gu Jiao wrote down the words she had read in her godfather’s diary in her previous life, “Love is the business of two people. As long as they enjoy each other’s company, they can pursue freedom together.”

In the Organization, freedom was unattainable, nor could anyone fall in love with anyone else, otherwise they would be punished by the godfather.

She had always wondered why these words appeared in her godfather’s diary.

Well, it doesn’t matter now, she’s dead anyway, and she’ll never see her godfather again.

Gu Jiao continued to write, “If you like someone, chase after them boldly! Don’t be afraid of societal norms!”

Old Duke gasped, “What if I get rejected…”

Gu Jiao wrote, “If she rejects you, it means she doesn’t like you, and you can finally give up!”

Why does she sound like Gu Yan?

Are today’s young people so empathetic?

Old Duke kept a poker face, “It’s not me!”

Gu Jiao: Oh.

If an idea is only confirmed by one person, perhaps one’s own heart is not determined enough, but when more people confirm it, it can take root in one’s heart.

Not to mention, he just casually asked two people’s opinion and got the same answer. Apparently, he was overthinking before. The matter was actually quite simple.

He was going to take her out of the Imperial Palace!
