Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!

Chapter 616: Climb the Sword Mountain and Descend into the Sea of Flames for Her, Break Through the Obstacles for Her!

The younger generation in the family, like Xi Rubao, had no idea that returning to the clan register would require so much trouble, one hurdle after another.Isn’t it enough just to vote?

With Third Aunt’s doubts, Second Uncle, who presided over this vote, had to announce, "Since Gu Qiusha has passed the vote, she will proceed to the second stage—someone in the family must vouch for her return, ensuring she won’t repeat any actions that disgrace the family."

"Huh, it’s just a guarantee." Xi Rubao sighed in relief. "Why is everyone so tense?"

However, in the next second,

She realized her naivety.

The ancestors of the Gu Family had truly set unparalleled and extreme family rules.

"The guarantor must not only sign their name and seal, ensuring Gu Qiusha won’t make the same mistake again, but must also prove their sincerity in action," Second Uncle’s voice grew more serious and heavy.

He pointed to the not-far Gu Family Ancestral Hall, "The guarantor must full-heartedly perform a ritualistic procession, along that bluestone path."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Gasping voices rose one after another—

"A ritualistic procession? Isn’t that a ceremony used only during ancestral worship, where one kneels and bows along the path? Walk the entire path this way?"

"Moreover, it’s the bluestone path of the ancestral hall; that path, it’s paved with broken stones, not smooth pebbles, but sharp stones with edges. Kneeling all the way would probably break one’s knees, right?"

"Who would make such a guarantee for Gu Qiusha, it’s an embarrassing and life-threatening task!"

"Even if Mr. Gu is willing, he can’t do it; his health is frail, his knees are too stiff to bend, and he just came back from the hospital today."

"Besides Mr. Gu, there’s even less chance for other relatives!"

No one would put themselves in jeopardy to guarantee for another.

Even with the filter of fandom, they couldn’t do it.

Everyone looked at Gu Qiusha with a mix of sadness and sympathy: "Qianshan, we’re sorry..."

Gu Qiusha had long been prepared, shaking her head with a bitter smile: "No, you don’t have to apologize; this was never something you should do. It’s me who should apologize for making you come such a long way because of my issues..."

Mr. Gu’s Adam’s apple moved as he hoarsely uttered, "Sha Sha..."

Gu Qiusha resolutely interrupted him: "Dad... don’t. I can’t let you suffer like this at your age. Please don’t add to my guilt!"

How could she let her old father kneel-walk for her?

If she could, she would do it herself!

But the family rules, in black and white, required a guarantor.

"I, thank everyone for their kindness, for unanimously agreeing to my return, thank you all," Gu Qiusha took a deep breath. "I just want to come back to accompany my dad, to fulfill my filial duties. I believe there is no law or rule that can stop me from taking care of my dad..."

Those listening were moved, their noses tingling, some could predict her upcoming decision.

Indeed.

Gu Qiusha pressed her lips and smiled faintly: "But there’s no need to be in the clan register..."

She would fulfill her filial duty and responsibility, but she did not covet any family benefits.

In an instant.

The garden quieted, as even breath and the sound of the wind seemed to freeze.

Everyone was silent, unable to speak.

The night’s bustle, unexpectedly ending in such sorrow.

Silence.

Silence.

Suddenly,

A firm and warm voice slowly rose—

"I’m willing to guarantee for her!"
