Chapter 864: Decay of the major families (2)

Chen Gutian's breathing grew fainter as his body seemed to be growing smaller as the muscles within his body rapidly shriveled. But even weakened he still remained standing his gaze trained on Chen Zholan with the same peaceful smile on his face.

"You seem happy?" asked Chen Zholan when he saw Chen Gutian's smile widen.

"I am..How can I not be? I faced off against the wall called talent and for the first time, I managed to measure up against it..." Chen Gutian weakly said as he laughed prompting him to cough up as he did so.

"But the greatest reason I am happy is I get to see Xue'er.." he added with a sense of peace and contentment in his tone.

Chen Zholan looked at him for some time as he saw Chen Xue appear next to Chen Gutian wearing the same smile Chen Gutian did.
