From meeting again to formally speaking, Chu Xiuwei only said this sentence to Gu Qingyang. But it was this sentence that melted his ice.
After hearing these words, when Gu Qingyang looked at her again, his eyes had become extremely soft.
He remembered the past.
He did tell Chu Xiuwei that if there was a next time, he would never let her go. What he meant was simply that he would definitely save her.
He has never forgotten this sentence, even when he was in the ruthless state.
When Shijia asked him to make a choice, he had already remembered these words.
But at that time, he still couldn't save her openly. Because he cannot bow to the way of heaven, let alone do good.
That's why he put on such a good show for everyone, even he himself, who was deeply involved in ruthlessness, was deceived.
But now, he has perfectly combined the ruthless path and the supreme love path, and has completely cultivated the path of love to perfection.
He no longer needs to be as ruthless as before, so when he faces this choice again, he can choose to be himself.
However, when he opened his mouth to say hello to Chu Xiuwei, he stopped talking and continued to remain silent.
At that moment, he clearly felt his own thoughts.
He knew that he still really wanted to persuade Chu Xiuwei to enter reincarnation again, and then live an ordinary life, away from killing.
This was his sincere hope. He sincerely hoped that this poor girl could live a good life for a few days instead of like this.
But he also noticed a hint of determination deep in Chu Xiuwei's beautiful eyes. From that moment on, he knew that this girl was determined.
"Does it have to be this way?"
Finally, after a moment of silence, Gu Qingyang took the initiative to speak. He asked expressionlessly, but there was a hint of sadness hidden deep in his eyes.
Opposite him, the figure transformed from Chu Xiuwei's consciousness stood silently, and did not reply with any words after hearing his inquiry.
She smiled, then nodded.
Seeing her like this, Gu Qingyang suddenly became anxious. I saw him taking three steps and two steps at a time, and immediately strode forward to her side.
"Why does it have to be like this? Now I am stronger than before. I have the ability to let you have a happy life again."
"This Lock of the Sky is nothing more than an artifact. It is just a weapon used by my enemies to kill me. I am just trying to refine it."
"If I really succeed, then everyone will be happy. But if I fail, the soul used for the attempt will immediately collapse."
"And...even if I fail, nothing will happen to me. At most, I will be injured. But if you do this, if I fail, you will be dead."
"I'm just a man who breaks his word."
"It's not worth it for you to go to such a point for me. Besides, who can the soul choose?"
"You...you are such a stupid girl."
"well--"
…
When it comes to excitement, Gu Qingyang will involuntarily reach out his hand, and then hold Chu Xiu's shoulders tightly.
There were a few moments when Gu Qingyang's emotions exploded the most intensely, and it was also when his hands worked the hardest.
But soon, as Gu Qingyang said all the words in his heart, he let go of his hand and fell heavily to the ground.
He breathed heavily, seeming to vent his fatigue in this way. At the end, he just sighed.
He was tired, helpless, and in pain.
In the process of enlightenment just now, there were a few moments when he really felt like he was invincible in the world, and that feeling was really good.
But now, Chu Xiuwei's choice of remnant soul has completely sent him back to reality. Reality, what is reality?
The reality is loss.
The reality is powerlessness.
…
If he had to use his own words to describe the word "reality", he could use a lot of bad words to explain the reality thoroughly.
Even if you say it, what's the use?
If reality is regarded as an opponent or a person, then he definitely has enough understanding of this opponent.
And what he really wants to accomplish is not to understand this opponent. What he really wants to do is defeat this opponent on the battlefield.
When he reaches enlightenment, that feeling of invincibility will make him feel that he can defeat this opponent and that he can change the outcome of many things.
Until he saw Chu Xiuwei's choice.
When this fact appeared in front of him in this way, he felt that he was wrong, and he realized that he was still not strong enough.
If he was really powerful enough, Chu Xiuwei would definitely not need to be like this.
So just after he said those words, a kind of hatred arose in his heart.
He hates it! He hates that he is still the same as before, and he hates that he is not strong enough.
If possible, he hoped that the Chu Xiuweier he could see was a girl who could read and embroider every day when she had nothing to do.
He didn't want to see a girl like that turn into cold chains, shackles that were hated by the world, and just stay with the coldness.
But now it seems...if there is anything else to do, it is obviously too late. Things that should happen and things that shouldn't happen have already happened.
Chu Xiuwei, this girl who lived only for hatred her whole life, still made a choice of her own, and she took action for this choice.
What else could he say?
…
Big, big tears slowly slid down the mole on Chu Xiuwei's pretty face. At this moment, Chu Xiuwei could no longer see clearly the appearance of the man in front of her.
She just stood there silently, watching Gu Qingyang fall, watching Gu Qingyang collapse and witnessing his dejection.
Compared to Gu Qingyang, who was already immersed in pain, she was in a much better mood.
She has always known what kind of person Gu Qingyang is, and she does not agree with Gu Qingyang's statement that he is a promise breaker.
In her opinion, Gu Qingyang has done a good job. It was like this when I was in Xiaohong City, and it was like this when I was in Dahong City.
Gu Qingyang has always wanted to lead her to a new life.
It was only because of various reasons that the outcome of this matter became what it is now. She has never blamed Gu Qingyang, she has always been grateful to him.
She knew very well that if this man had not appeared in her life, her end might have been like that.
In her life, her mother only stayed with her for ten years.
But in those ten years, her mother taught her a lot.
This includes gratitude. So how could she hate Gu Qingyang? In other words, why should she hate Gu Qingyang?
Should she hate him for washing away the Chu family bloodline for her? Or should she hate him for giving her the inheritance of magical powers? Should she hate him for killing those ruthless and unjust people for her?
Gu Qingyang and she were strangers, they were just strangers with a slight fate.
If it weren't for Gu Qingyang's own enthusiasm, their lives wouldn't have had any unnecessary intersections.
Chu Xiuwei had never hated Gu Qingyang all this time.
If she must say hate, then she hates herself just like Gu Qingyang. She hated herself for being too weak and always dragging others down.
If it weren't for her, her mother would have left this world early and used death to say goodbye to this cold world.
If it weren't for her, Gu Qingyang might not be in the situation he is today, right?
Although she didn't know much about spiritual practice, she knew that because of her, Gu Qingyang's mental state practice had encountered major changes.
It was precisely for these reasons and all these things that she begged Gu Qingyang to send her on her last journey when she was instinctively saved.
She wanted to die.
This is not only because she feels that she is dragging others down, but also because she really has no attachment to this world anymore.
Others can gain many things by living in this world. For example, things like wealth, power, status, and so-called emotions.
And she lives in this world without any worries. Her mother has already left this world.
That was the one she really cared about.
She has no relatives in this world except her mother. She has no desire to practice, she just longs for love.
Love... family affection, love, these are things that she has never wanted to mention because she has never really had them.
Her mother loved her very much.
But for her mother, ten years was already the limit that the woman could endure. Ten years passed away her mother's love.
Since then, the only person in the world who can still love her is herself, so she has always lived a strong and humble life.
Originally, she thought that her life might definitely end in such an environment.
Until... Gu Qingyang appeared.
It wasn't until she witnessed the battle between Gu Qingyang and Chu Kuangge that she realized that there was such a person in this world.
How powerful is that, how easy is it to be intoxicated? From that moment on, she began to think about revenge.
At that time she understood all the truth.
She knew...if she was allowed to live the way she originally was, even if she had to wait her whole life, she would not wait for the second Gu Qingyang.
Therefore, when Gu Qingyang fell into a deep sleep in her library, she had to consider whether that was her only chance in this life.
The only chance.
A chance for revenge.
After she thought about it clearly, she fell into the next conflict. That's why she asked Gu Qingyang to help her take revenge?
Yes, her experience was tragic.
Yes, her life is bleak.
But what do these things have to do with Gu Qingyang? She is just a stranger who has never met Gu Qingyang.
She owes him no favors, and he owes her no cause and effect.
She doesn't have any unparalleled treasures in the world, nor any supreme inheritance of magical powers. She only has herself.
So, when she thought about the true meaning of the word reality in the real world, the only way she could think of was to surrender herself.
From that moment on, she realized that she was so ridiculous and childish.
Why did Gu Qingyang fall in love with her? Even if her appearance is not bad, it can only be considered good.
In this world, there should be tens of thousands of beautiful women, not just endless ones, right?
She could not forget that day and night, she seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, immersed in hatred and self-blame.
However, just when she was about to go completely crazy because of the hatred in her heart, Gu Qingyang woke up and generously offered her salvation.
She never dreamed that the blood of others could be washed away. It turns out that she can still get rid of the past in this way.
That night, after that dawn——
She originally thought that there would never be any intersection between her and Gu Qingyang. But who could have imagined what happened next?
When she was arrested by her biological father and dressed in red, her heart completely died, and she died on the day she became a puppet tool.
…
It wasn't until the moment when Shi Jia placed her remnant soul in front of Gu Qingyang that her heart finally showed signs of resurrection.
When Gu Qingyang bit the soul bead containing her soul into pieces, she knew that her remaining soul might still be destroyed.
But she really wanted to laugh at that moment.
She was very happy because she was finally able to help Gu Qingyang. Gu Qingyang gave her salvation again and again and gave her the chance to regain her life.
In the end, Gu Qingyang had to suffer so much hardship and pain just because of her. She saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.
So... if her death could save Gu Qingyang from encountering some killings, then she would be willing to die in exchange for this result.
What is death?
She has long lost her fear of death. In her eyes, death is just the beginning of the future and the end of the past.
However, she didn't expect that Gu Qingyang would choose to act in the end, leaving the remnant of her soul in that incredible way.
At that moment, if she still had a body, she would burst into tears.
Perhaps from that time, or perhaps from earlier than that time, she was determined to help Gu Qingyang.
Fortunately, later... as Gu Qingyang gained enlightenment again and again, she finally saw an opportunity in refining the Heavenly Lock.
Whether it was to repay her kindness or for some other reason, she just wanted to do her best to help Gu Qingyang once.
so--
When Gu Qingyang asked "why", she had to smile, because she was really willing to do so. That's how she likes it.
But she also shook her head because she didn't want Gu Qingyang to pay anything more for her. She doesn't want to see anything else now, she just wants Gu Qingyang to be well.
If she had any other thoughts about living, then this thought might be Gu Qingyang.
"Death is nothing to be afraid of."
After murmuring such words to herself, Chu Xiuwei suddenly leaned down on the ground, touched the water like a dragonfly, and gave Gu Qingyang a kiss.
She kissed Gu Qingyang's forehead, her movements extremely gentle but extremely quick, taking only a moment. After a moment she stood up, her cheeks flushed, and disappeared.
"Qingyang...Brother, I don't know what is the appropriate name to call you. I just want to tell you that this is my choice."
"Don't you want me to be reborn?"
"I don't want to live a life where I am alone anymore. If I have to move towards a new life, then I hope you can give me the strength."
"As long as you need me, I can be whatever you want me to be. This so-called refining is just an attempt in my eyes."
"Even if you fail, it's not a big deal. Anyway, I'm very desperate for this world, and death is my relief."
"If you succeed, please agree to one of my requests. I hope I can stay by your side. It doesn't matter what it is."
"Even if it becomes a weapon."
"Don't have any extra thoughts. Just think of it as giving me the courage to be reborn. I also want to seize this opportunity and live for myself."
"You've done a great job."
…
After being "surreptitiously attacked" by Chu Xiuwei, Gu Qingyang was stunned on the spot. But he heard Chu Xiuwei's words clearly and without missing a word.
Hearing such a statement, how could Gu Qingyang not guess what Chu Xiuwei was thinking. This also made him reveal a wry smile.
He really didn't expect things to turn out like this.
But if you think about it carefully, it is actually unexpected and reasonable for this kind of thing to happen. This is the truth in the world.
He helped Chu Xiuwei with sincerity, and Chu Xiuwei was a simple girl. It seems normal for her to make such a decision.
However, Chu Xiuwei could think so, but he absolutely could not accept it...
After Chu Xiuwei completely disappeared, it took a long time before Gu Qingyang came back to his senses.
The next moment, his consciousness incarnation also disappeared from his inner world.
Although what Chu Xiuwei said was a bit extreme, in fact, such words really gave him a lot of enlightenment.
He found that he had always thought too much when facing certain things. There are many ideas that he should not overthink.
He saw Chu Xiuwei's stubbornness, and through this he saw countless sides. Only then did he realize that he was still wrong.
All the while, he acted as if he was only thinking about himself. Take this incident as an example, he only saved Chu Xiuwei because he "wanted to save".
But in fact, is Chu Xiuwei really willing?
This question may seem unimportant, but it is the question that he should consider most... Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang no longer has any extra thoughts.
He just secretly decided that if this matter could be accomplished today, he would definitely find another opportunity to enlighten this stubborn girl in the future.
Of course, if he still wants to have this opportunity. Then, he must first ensure that he can successfully refine this Heavenly Lock!
Only in this way can the current situation have room for maneuver. Thinking of this, a gleam of light shone in Gu Qingyang's eyes.
war!
He wants to follow through on his path!
