The Jade Sword Buddha still left.
Left very decisively, as if escaping.
Gu Wen didn't try to stop it, it wasn't a life-and-death separation, nor was it that he would never see it again in this lifetime—it didn't need to be made into a sorrowful drama.
The Jade Sword Buddha's words were already very straightforward, so how should he respond if he tried to keep it?
In the end, he would probably have to follow the other's wishes.
Gu Wen was not a native ancient person, but he was also not stubborn, nor a moral saint. Those scholars who speak saintly books all have multiple wives and concubines; how could it be wrong for him to remarry?
If they were all mortals, Gu Wen would have agreed. The concept of status does not differentiate between ancient and modern; forcibly being together without name or status would only lead to unhappiness.
