"Family Head..."
Hearing these two words, the old patriarch fell into brief contemplation before he smiled and asked casually, "Isn't that already yours?"
Gu Nanfeng said in a deep voice, "You should understand what I mean. I'm not after an empty title."
"I understand. Of course, I do."
Gu Qilin asked leisurely, "But do you understand my point? I am not the Family Head, nor is Gu Lushen of the new faction. Even without a Family Head, after the split, the Gu family remains the premier family in Changye. Why?"
At that question,
Gu Nanfeng was taken aback.
"Because the title of Family Head... has always been nothing more than an empty name."
The old patriarch spoke calmly, "The reason Gu Changzhi is the Family Head is simply because... he is Gu Changzhi."
"Eight years ago, many people fell in Changye... all to send you to the North Continent."
The old man's voice carried a solemn weight, "If not to make you the 'Family Head,' for what were these people's sacrifices?"
