When Gu Qingyang hesitantly mentioned what had just happened, Wei Jiuling was already sobbing in his arms.
She was trying her best to restrain herself.
In fact, Gu Qingyang didn't need to say anything, because she was already standing not far away and witnessed everything. She did not get to see her mother in person.
But from the voice coming from the other side of the light curtain, she was sure... the owner of that withered hand was the person she thought about day and night.
"Mother."
When those two words appeared in her mind, she no longer knew what words to use to describe her mood.
But one thing she was sure of was that she made the right choice. She is now extremely grateful and in love with Gu Qingyang.
She knew... there was no way she could be with Gu Qingyang.
She knew from the beginning that Gu Qingyang and she were from completely different worlds.
Originally... when Gu Qingyang told her that he would help her settle her blood feud, she was already very satisfied.
When they parted at that dawn, she had indeed made up her mind and wanted to live a good life as Gu Qingyang envisioned for her.
But who could have imagined that something like that would happen later?
Her mother is a miserable person, and her father is a beast.
Because her heart was dead, her mother did not survive until she was eleven years old.
In the end, when she and her biological father met for the first time, he wanted to capture her as a victim of the so-called marriage.
She is a half-hearted person who has been tortured by hatred for many years. She is moody and cold at times.
Gu Qingyang appeared.
Gu Qingyang rescued her.
After that dawn, she already longed for the light. But because of that incident, she wanted to die.
When Gu Qingyang made a big fuss throughout Dahong City in order to rescue Liu Xinyu, she had witnessed every scene with her own eyes.
At that time...even she herself didn't know how much she envied Liu Xinyu.
At that time, she thought to herself, whether Gu Qingyang was Liu Xinyu's lover or Liu Xinyu's uncle and old friend.
Liu Xinyu, who was treated as a victim together with her, was definitely the happiest woman in the world, and Liu Xinyu’s father...
That incident gave her countless stimulations.
Because that incident happened one after another, her heart was dying again and again. Until the end, she was unwilling to enter reincarnation again.
Finally, she begged Gu Qingyang to kill her.
At that time, she didn't ask for anything else, just to seek relief. She really didn't want to exist in this world at that time.
However, her death was only the beginning of another life. She didn't expect that her remaining soul would be in the hands of others after her death.
Shijia saved her soul, and then threatened her with her only remnant soul, just to make Gu Qingyang give up his practice.
At that time she still longed to die.
She felt that only if she died could she really help Gu Qingyang. So...she was really happy when Gu Qingyang swallowed her remaining soul.
That was the time when she felt she was the most useful. She really hoped that Gu Qingyang would refine her, hoping that she could become part of his endless power.
At that time she was still satisfied.
After all, Gu Qingyang had done too many things for her, and her father, who was worse than a beast, died of torture.
This was revenge for blood, and it was also the happiest thing for her. However, Gu Qingyang tried to save her from the fire and water again and again.
When he first rescued her, she still had the desire to "live". So she accepted Gu Qingyang's blood cleansing and had her blood replaced.
When he rescued her for the second time, at that time she only had the desire to "die". So she just begged Gu Qingyang to kill her...
Later, she thought that Gu Qingyang was finally going to refine her soul, and that Gu Qingyang was finally willing to kill her.
She was extremely happy at the time.
At that time, she sincerely hoped that Gu Qingyang would completely kill her so as to eliminate her threat to him. But she didn't expect that he would still want to save her!
In order to save her, Gu Qingyang even deceived himself! When she found out about this, she was completely speechless.
Your kindness will not be exhausted in this life.
The next life is not yet complete.
…
From the third time Gu Qingyang rescued her, she told herself that if she could really be resurrected, she would spend all her life to repay his kindness.
Even if it meant that she would be shattered to pieces for Gu Qingyang, even if it meant that she would never recover for Gu Qingyang, she would still be willing to do that.
She felt that only by doing this could she repay Gu Qingyang's little kindness.
It was with this belief that when Gu Qingyang sent her away from that catastrophe, she made up her mind to become a peerless strong person.
Although she didn't know what path Gu Qingyang was going to take at that time, she knew that Gu Qingyang needed someone like that to help him.
She didn't know if she could do it... She just wanted to work hard in that direction, and she just wanted to devote everything she had to helping Gu Qingyang.
As for her mother——
When she comprehended the Great Dao during her rebirth, she felt that her mother might have been reborn and had started a new life.
Her state of mind at that time was already very different from before, so she decided to bid farewell to the past and gave herself a new name - Wei Jiuling.
People should look forward.
This is the truth of life that she clearly realized after transformation after transformation. After rebirth, she also took this as her life creed and worked hard for it.
So... when Gu Qingyang is on the verge of death because of the murderous trap set by those shameless people, she will take action and she will do everything she can to protect him.
Whether it's intentional or due to a combination of circumstances...
She would clearly remember the scene of Gu Qingyang blocking her in front of her. She knew that he was the person who loved her most in the world besides her mother.
Although... that love may really be just affection, a love with compassion. But so what?
As long as he is sincerely good to her, that's enough. Her thoughts about Gu Qingyang were just like what she said to Gu Qingyang——
No matter if you treat him as your master or stay by his side in another capacity.
As long as he can keep her by his side, that's really enough.
When she was crossing the tribulation, she had seen Gu Qingyang's past experiences and knew too many things by relying on the connection between Tianzhisuo and Gu Qingyang.
She knew very well what kind of man he was, and that was why she felt more and more love and affection for him, even to the point of insanity.
If Gu Qingyang really needs it, then she is definitely willing to give everything for Gu Qingyang. And now——
She could actually see her mother!
Even though mother and daughter were still unable to say a word from beginning to end, even though she was just standing here from a distance...
But she still heard her mother's voice and what her mother said to Gu Qingyang. Those words really made her feel shy.
But she was also very sad about it.
She didn't expect that in order to wait for her, her mother never entered reincarnation again. Even if her mother is crazy, she still misses her.
"The Underworld has no concept of time, so once the soul of the deceased enters the Underworld, it will have to endure endless years before reincarnation."
"She must have been here for so long and must have suffered a lot... She is just a mortal. It's my fault, it's my fault -"
…
Wei Jiuling was indeed able to control her emotions at the beginning, but later, when she expressed her feelings personally, she couldn't help it anymore.
She could only cry.
She was both sad and reluctant to give up, and even more unwilling to cry. She was wailing. She was crying about the difficulty of her mother, crying that they met in danger.
"Good girl, don't be sad."
"I sent her away with my own hands."
"She has waited for so long and finally got the most ideal result. You are living a good life and will live even better in the future. This is enough."
"She can end this long wait and say goodbye completely. This is a relief. Don't be sad, I am your relative."
…
Seeing Wei Jiuling's emotions completely out of control, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel distressed. Others in this world may not understand Wei Jiuling.
But he understands.
There is a deep bond between them, and for various reasons, the relationship between them since they met can be regarded as a relationship of mutual redemption.
It was true that he had been saving Wei Jiuling in the past, but this time Wei Jiuling also saved him, and Wei Jiuling also brought him endless vitality.
In addition, he helped Wei Jiuling without asking for anything in return, so he really didn't feel that Wei Jiuling owed him anything.
Instead, just now——
When he was facing her mother just now, when he listened to what her mother said, he always felt hesitant to speak.
He really wanted to tell all the things that had happened over the years, but Wei Jiuling's life had indeed been miserable over the years.
He felt that... if he told Wei Jiuling's mother those things, Wei Jiuling's mother would feel even more guilty because of these things.
Being more guilty means that the possibility of relief becomes smaller, so he should not do that, both emotionally and rationally.
Now Wei Jiuling has become the person beside him, his sinful blood is flowing in her body, and she has the power of the Heavenly Lock.
She has indeed become a real strong person.
At this time, it is meaningless to talk about the sad past. It really has no other purpose except to cause more troubles to her mother.
So he still hopes that Wei Jiuling and Wei Jiuling's mother can move forward to a new life and let go of the suffocating past.
"Owner--"
Listening to Gu Qingyang's comfort, Wei Jiuling finally stopped crying. She murmured, but this title made Gu Qingyang freeze on the spot.
Before this, Gu Qingyang had no time to reminisce with Wei Jiuling because he had to deal with enemies all the time.
But it's different now.
Although they are now in the midst of this heavenly killing move and their souls are trapped in a special space, the heavenly killing move has obviously not evolved to the next stage.
Therefore, they still had time to talk about certain things, and Wei Jiuling's call of master really made him feel particularly weird.
"Weier, you—"
Gu Qingyang lowered his head, ready to speak to persuade this stubborn girl. I want her to call her something else, but this title is really awkward.
Unexpectedly, Wei Jiuling just shook her head silently while wiping her tears, then slowly raised her head and smiled:
"No, I don't want to change it."
"The girl over there in Hades is right. I won't fight for anything. As long as you can keep me by your side, I'll be satisfied."
"So I don't need any other specific identity, and I never expect that I can have any other special identity."
"And what I just said was not nonsense. When I said I was an imperial weapon, I was the real imperial weapon. I am the imperial weapon Wei Jiuling."
"My lord the emperor——"
"Can you still don't want me? Your Wenqingtian and I are of the same kind of existence. I am satisfied to be part of your power."
…
Although Wei Jiuling was always calm when she spoke, Gu Qingyang could see that her expression was still somewhat unnatural.
From what he knew about her, this was a sign of her lack of confidence. Obviously, she actually had to summon up the courage to say this.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would probably still spend her time studying "how to do things" rather than how to express her feelings.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang didn't want to bother with her anymore. He just silently raised his hand and stroked her long hair.
"Okay, get ready to fight out with me."
Perhaps because of the influence of the Sin Blood bloodline, Wei Jiuling after rebirth is indeed too similar to Gu Qingying.
This made Gu Qingyang always couldn't help but think of Gu Qingying when facing her, and he could not help but regard her as his Ying'er.
Therefore, when he was getting along with her, he couldn't help but use certain actions that he only used when getting along with Gu Qingying.
Such as stroking your hair, patting your back, touching your head...
On the contrary, it was Wei Jiuling. After she confessed her feelings to Gu Qingyang, her eyes became even more intense when she looked at Gu Qingyang.
Obviously, because of what happened just now, her gratitude to Gu Qingyang has obviously increased to a greater extent.
At this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that her loyalty and love for Gu Qingyang has reached an almost pathological level.
Of course, this is actually a good thing for Gu Qingyang.
At this time, what he lacks most is time. He needs time to recover from his injuries and even more time to become stronger.
It is simply the best thing to have someone like Wei Jiuling appear by his side to protect him, fight for him, and help him buy time.
Of course Gu Qingyang understood what Wei Jiuling's appearance meant, but he didn't want Wei Jiuling to die for him.
In that case, he would feel uneasy.
He never lets go of any enemy easily, but he also never treats anyone around him badly. Now Wei Jiuling seems to be the person beside him.
Although he had no feelings for this ill-fated girl, but for various reasons, he was willing to treat her as his sister.
What's more, he had just made a promise to his mother.
But this beautiful time was still too short after all. Not long after it passed, he could have a premonition that something ominous would happen next.
"boom--"
Sure enough, within a moment, strange soul fluctuations suddenly appeared. They are like ripples in the water in a rain curtain.
Once they appeared, they densely occupied every corner of the entire space, flickering and flashing one after another with the roaring sound.
"Master, you don't have to worry-"
"Weier, you don't have to worry."
Wei Jiuling was just about to use her soul power to protect Gu Qingyang, but Gu Qingyang rejected her words and released even more powerful soul power.
"I'm not like these guys."
"These guys practice for a lifetime, and usually they can only temper their souls to be the same as their bodies. At most, their bodies are slightly stronger than their bodies."
"My soul is the most special soul, and my soul is powerful. If Heaven wants to destroy me, it can only start with my soul."
…
As Gu Qingyang explained, he waved his hand to completely cut off his connection with Netherland, preventing this place from having too much contact with Netherland.
He did this in order to keep Netherland in its original state and prevent Netherland from falling into the hands of Heaven.
He was indeed unsure whether Heaven had the means to influence the underworld, but he did hope that everything would be exactly the same as before.
If the underworld is just the underworld, then it is a good thing for him.
It would be a real misfortune if the underworld became a place that could only be controlled by God's will. But now that I look at it again, the results are not too bad.
"Boom boom boom boom——"
Sure enough, as time went by, the souls of the bone cultivators who were involved in this soul realm together with him also appeared.
Before Gu Qingyang could do anything, all of them came to kill Gu Qingyang. Moreover, they seemed to have been blessed by heaven.
Gu Qingyang could feel that God's will existed in each of these souls, and the aura of Heaven was permeated.
This is enough to show what kind of changes they have experienced, so it is not an exaggeration for him to completely regard these people as pawns of heaven.
It's just that...these bone cultivators' own cultivation levels are already extremely extraordinary.
Now, coupled with the blessing of heaven and providence, their probability of defeating him has really increased a lot compared to the original.
Bursts of roaring sounds sounded, sometimes violently, sometimes softly. Feeling those bone cultivators approaching him very quickly, Gu Qingyang could only choose to fight.
At the same moment, Wei Jiuling's expression immediately changed. Now she seems to be no weaker than these guys, and she also has a cultivation level comparable to the sixteenth level.
With such strength, even if she can only express it in the form of a soul, she will not be weaker than anyone else.
It's a pity... In terms of fighting alone, none of these people can be her opponent. But they just don't know how to fight alone.
"Be bold!"
At the moment when those bone cultivators were extremely close to Gu Qingyang, Gu Qingyang suddenly roared and no longer concealed his coercion.
Suddenly, Wei Jiuling's soul went limp and almost surrendered instantly like the other souls present.
Fortunately, Gu Qingyang caught her in time and saved her from the pressure. However, she can do this, but others present may not be able to do this.
…
