With a sigh, Gu Chuanshan weariedly chuckled, "The reason those five households moved away was because they gave up. They thought all that talk about the Destiny Stone was nonsense. We all lived under the same roof, but none prospered significantly."
Gu Ling remarked, "And we stayed because we have the map, and we know this is not nonsense, but reality."
At that, Gu Chuanshan shook his head, "Actually, even with the blueprint in hand, I was skeptical. I searched the vast ocean for so many years, but found no trace." After saying that, he glanced at Gu Fan with guilt, "I later wondered if the Destiny Stone did not manifest its power because too many people were living there. So, I thought of another approach. You were also ready for university and it was time to enhance your independence…" He left his sentence hanging, but his intended meaning was unmistakably clear.
"So that's how it was!" Gu Fan's gaze fell, and an air of disappointment filled him. He felt a little discomforted.
