Recalling the self who was once full of grand aspirations, boasting he could "win half of heaven's will."
He had contemplated countless possibilities....
But ultimately never anticipated ending in such a manner.
"Your Majesty... I have failed you..."
His lips trembled slightly, like murmurs to himself, continuously repeating: "Ancestors, Father, I am incapable, in the end, I couldn't uphold the prestige of our Gu Clan."
"I have brought shame upon you...."
All the soldiers stared blankly at Gu Xi, everyone's expression had changed.
Involuntarily, they fell to their knees, anxiously crying out: "Grand Tutor!"
"Go back..."
Gu Xi finally looked at them, disregarding the fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, he smiled calmly: "Protect His Majesty, in the future you will all be meritorious officials."
"I cannot go anymore."
He had already sensed the abnormalities in his body.
The feeling of his functions rapidly fading was very clear.
He understood that his time had come.
