"Father, your health..."
As the eldest son, Gu Kang knelt at the very front, his voice slightly trembling, unable to bear telling Gu Xiao the Imperial Physician's diagnosis.
But Gu Xiao seemed to have already known the outcome, and calmly continued, "I'm not going to make it."
"Father..."
Tears immediately began to fall from several of them, especially from Gu Ling, who wept openly.
"What are you crying for!"
Gu Xiao weakly scolded, his face showing no fear of the impending death, "In this life of mine, I have no regrets."
"But regarding matters after my death, I still have some instructions to give."
Perhaps due to a momentary return of strength, Gu Xiao's voice gradually gained some power.
"I, Gu Xiao, have lived as a hero, unconcerned with matters after death."
"So, keep the funeral simple."
"You all need not be too sorrowful."
"Life and death are predetermined by fate. If our Gu Clan can truly be passed down for generations, I will rest easy even in the afterlife."
