After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

The two sat opposite each other. There was only one candle lit in the room, the light of the candle flickering.

Gu Shengsheng thought for a moment and asked, "How did my aunt know I was here?"

"About two months ago, Xiao Linfeng sent a strand of hair to Xiangchu. At that time, my sister was confronting hundreds of thousands of troops in Mobei, so I didn't come to you until the war was settled." Gu Tangli said frankly.

She asked with a gloomy look, "Why did you send my hair over?"

"It's a threat and also a warning." Gu Tangli said softly, "Back then, when the Gu family was exterminated, Xiao Linfeng was the mastermind and he did a lot of behind-the-scenes fanning the flames."

Her face instantly turned pale, and her hands tightly grasped the clothes on her chest, "What exactly happened? I want to know the truth."

Gu Tangli's calm voice rang out in the night. She talked about Helian Xuan, the Xiao family, the Snow Clan, the struggle for imperial power, and the conspiracy behind it.

Gu Shengsheng only felt that she was being swallowed up by the night and her own voice little by little. She had guessed countless possibilities while on the island, but the truth was much more cruel than she had imagined.

After that, he poured himself a glass of water and moistened his throat. Gu Tangli sighed and said, "Are you crying?"

She reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm herself down and said, "I also want to know, what happened between you and her over the years?"

This "she" naturally refers to Jiang Xue Ning. She spoke so unfamiliarly that Gu Tangli already had a premonition.

He spoke lightly of his own experiences and sufferings, and also talked about Jiang Xue Ning's story.

"My sister came back from hell and climbed up step by step. All the enemies of the Gu family died under her knife, and only Xiao Linfeng was left!"

"Hehe..." She covered her face and smiled bitterly, "My little aunt is so smart. Since she found me here, she should have guessed that I have a close relationship with him..."

She said with a sad look in her eyes, "What kind of expression do you want to see on my face? Sad and crying or in disbelief?"

In just a few words, she had already detected her sensitivity and vulnerability.

"I want to hear your story about you and Xiao Linfeng."

She began to tell the story softly, lost in painful memories.

"He fanned the flames and caused the Gu family to be wiped out, but saved me. Should I say this is fate playing tricks on me?"

Gu Tangli held her cold hand, looked into her eyes and said word by word, "It's not fate, it was premeditated."

"No matter who he met that day, he would have saved them. That was the trump card and bargaining chip he left for himself. After all, the Gu family was a century-old family, and the panic of the extermination could not guarantee that all the Gu family members were dead.

Facts have proven that he is right. I am still alive, your uncle Xingchen is still alive, and your great aunt has even crawled out of hell and returned for revenge."

Gu Shengsheng felt that the hand being held was too hot to bear. She broke free from her hand and said, "So you mean to say that I am just a tool he uses to threaten you?"

She looked so distraught that Gu Tangli's voice softened a bit, "Your last name is Gu and his last name is Xiao. There is a blood feud between you two. He saved you for other purposes. I don't want you to be deceived by him."

"I know..." Gu Shengsheng said calmly, "But without him I would have died a long time ago. In the past few years, when I was sick, sad, and on the verge of death, he was the only one who stayed by my side. He was the only one I could rely on..."

Her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. She said painfully, "I am a human being. I have a heart, feelings, and thoughts. I am not a soulless puppet that can be manipulated at will."

"So, should I hate him now? Is it right to even kill him to avenge the Gu family?"

Facing her stubborn and broken eyes, Gu Tangli said uncomfortably, "At least you can't protect her..."

“Hehehe…” She laughed until tears streamed down her face, staring straight at the sword at her waist, “Just kill me, I’ve been living in pain all these years… I can’t give you what you want…”

When she reaches the underworld, she will atone for her sins.

Gu Tangli had not expected that her feelings for Xiao Linfeng were so deep. She looked outside and said, "Come out..."

Lu Wu came out, and as a top-level wave guard, Na Xiang did not completely dazzle her.

She forced herself to wake up, but stopped and did not interrupt the conversation.

"You've said so much, let's listen to Shengsheng's story too."

She said they found her in a pool of blood, and she was traumatized and shocked to see her mother and brother die tragically in front of her. Not only did she suffer from palpitations, but she also shut herself off for a while.

She said that she had been on the brink of life and death several times over the years, and Xiao Linfeng asked a miracle doctor to find medicine for her, which allowed her to pass and speak again, and he took good care of her.

Gu Tangli fell silent after listening to this, and also understood her feelings and dependence on Xiao Linfeng.

He was the only light in her dark world and once everything to her. How could she easily let go of such a heavy feeling?

Lu Wu said softly, "The blood feud is too heavy for her to bear, and she shouldn't be the one to bear it."

Gu Tangli looked at her and asked, "After knowing all this, can you really continue to get along with him without any grudges?"

She collapsed and said, "So what do you want me to do? I am also in pain and sad. Is this all caused by me?"

"You all want me to be the sharp blade that stabs the other side, right?"

She screamed in pain, gasping for breath due to the heartache. Lu Wu quickly supported her and gave her a pill.

"If you really care about her, don't force her like this..."

Gu Tangli closed her eyes. She had thought of many possibilities, but she never expected the situation to be so tricky.

When she calmed down, she said gently, "I understand the impact this incident has on you, and you are indeed innocent. We will resolve the blood feud between you and Xiao Linfeng."

"Come with me, leave here, leave him, and start a new life."

"Haha, from the moment he rescued me, I was destined to not live a good life in this life." She said weakly, "I won't go with you, I want to stay and pursue my destiny."

Gu Tangli frowned, "Even if he will use you to deal with us, will you accept it?"

She said softly, "You guys will avenge the Gu family's blood feud. I will pay him back. When I reach the grave, I will atone for my sins to everyone."

"You go now. I want to stay here." She said resolutely, "When we fight, don't be polite to me, and don't show mercy to my men. This is the path I chose for myself, and I have brought this upon myself."

"Between being a Gu family girl and bearing the hatred of the Gu family, I choose to live selfishly for myself."

She has suffered for the Gu family for too long. When this day really comes, she can selfishly withdraw in pain.

Lu Wu also said, "Go now. I will pretend that what happened tonight never happened, or I will call for help."

Gu Tangli left in the end. She didn't want to make things difficult for a little girl like her. She had indeed suffered enough and felt pain.
