I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Hearing the somewhat rude question from the young man in front of her, Xue Muwan puffed out her cheeks and then turned around gracefully in front of him.

"Master Gu, can't you see that I am a human being? A living, beautiful beauty."

Ha! If you believe her lies, how can you survive being beheaded and pretend nothing happened?

"Master Gu, you have killed me once, so any grudges should be settled now. Let's sit down and talk, okay?"

Alas! Gu Nian'an sighed helplessly. After trying Xue Muwan, he really didn't have the ability to kill her now.

It would be disadvantageous for me if I drag it on like this, but I would be reluctant to leave.

After a brief pause, Gu Nian'an spoke.

"What do you want to talk about."

Forget it, let's just see the situation first and run away before my injuries get worse.

"It is true that Master Gu's ghost baby was created by me, but I have never interfered with its actions. I even played a clamping role on it."

"I am at most a forger of sharp weapons. If a weapon kills someone, should it be blamed on the forger?

Isn't this a bit unfair to me?"

Ha! Sophistry, if the ghost baby is a sharp weapon, then this sharp weapon has been in her hand from beginning to end.

The ghost baby killed everyone, Xue Muwan was the real murderer, and the weapon only played an auxiliary role.

"If you just want to shirk your responsibilities here, I think there is nothing to talk about between us."

"Huh,"

Xue Muwan blinked cutely and looked at him innocently.

"Does Master Gu think that what I said is wrong?"

“No, the ghost baby is a sharp weapon, but you are the one holding the sharp weapon. If someone kills someone, you are the real murderer.

Also, I wanted to cause trouble for you from the beginning, and the ghost baby just made me more determined to kill you."

"Master Gu, apart from the ghost baby incident, have I ever had any grudge against you? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Then let's get to know each other again. I'm Gu Nian'an, Xiao Qingfeng, Gu Nian'an of Qingyang Temple. So you should know why I'm causing trouble for you."

Hearing this, Xue Muwan suddenly realized, and then stared at Gu Nian'an with shining eyes.

"Then Mr. Gu, can you tell me whether the old Taoist priest Qi Yuan is dead or not?"

When Gu Nian'an heard Xue Muwan's question, his face suddenly turned dark and he did not make any answer.

Alas! Xue Muwan sighed, looking a little depressed.

"I think with a master like Master Gu in charge, that useless Ghost Mother shouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

"Now let me ask, do you have a grudge against my master Qi Yuan?"

He has always been puzzled by this question. He knows Qi Yuandao's character. He is a good man and will not easily make enemies with others, let alone a life-and-death feud.

Hearing Gu Nian'an's question, Xue Muwan held her chin with both hands and was a little conflicted, but after thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth.

"Mr. Gu, it's a bit difficult to answer this question. Why don't I tell you a story and let you make your own judgment?"

There is still time before the sequelae break out, so as long as the story is not too long, it should be fine.

"Okay, you tell me and I'll listen."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's answer, Xue Muwan smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she walked lightly to Gu Nian'an, took his hand and led him to a chair nearby.

Trying hard to suppress the urge to take action, Gu Nian'an's eyes flickered with coldness and his hand gripping the knife handle tightened.

But after thinking for a moment, he moved his hand away from the hilt.

This woman cannot be killed, so there is no point in doing it. Besides, he also wants to see what Xue Muwan is trying to do.

After Gu Nian'an sat down, Xue Muwan sat beside him.

The two of them were so close that Gu Nian'an could even clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.

After sitting down, Xue Muwan did not waste any time and started her story directly.

"The story begins thirty-two years ago."

"Mr. Gu, do you know Xiangyang Village in Langhuan County?"

"know."

He had been to a small village more than ten miles west of Xiaoqingfeng some time ago, and now it has become a dead place.

"My ancestral home is in Xiangyang Village. My father Xue Wenfang and my mother Wu Xiu were able to get married thanks to your Qingyang Temple. My parents' wedding was presided over by the old Taoist priest Qi Yuan."

Gu Nian'an believed this. Taoist Qi Yuan would take on some weddings and funerals every year.

In addition to making some money, the most important thing is to help others.

As long as he can help others solve their problems, Taoist Qi Yuan will always be very happy.

"I was born the second year after my parents got married, and we lived well at the beginning.

But within a few years, my grandfather passed away due to illness, and without my grandfather's supervision, my father's true nature soon showed."

"He was addicted to alcohol and gambling. Within a few years, he had lost everything that could be lost in the family."

"When I was seven years old, my father accidentally beat my mother to death while drunk. My grandmother and I buried her together."

"When I was nine years old, my father bought me to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the largest brothel in Langhuan County. Later I heard that my grandmother was also angered to death by my father."

Gu Nian'an frowned when he heard this. This person is truly the worst of scum.

He angered his mother to death, beat his wife to death, and sold his own daughter to a brothel. Such behavior is not worthy of being called a human being.

"So Master Gu, do you think I should seek justice for my deceased mother?"

Sigh! There is nothing wrong with officiating at a wedding, but it is totally unnecessary to act as a matchmaker. This kind of thing may easily lead to enmity.

"Is the story over? If it is, I will leave. If there is more, you can continue."

Hearing this, Xue Muwan did not continue to ask questions but instead leaned closer to Gu Nian'an before continuing her story.

"I have been pretty since I was young, and I am well-behaved and sensible. Mother Wang of Xiaoxiang Pavilion likes me very much."

"She hired many teachers for me, and also arranged for maids to serve me."

"I'm also very hardworking and I learn things very quickly. When I was fourteen, I performed a dance for the first time, but many people were fascinated by me."

"Alas! But the good times didn't last long. When I was fifteen, I was spotted by a great man from the capital."

"Mother Wang didn't dare to resist, and the important person was generous, so I was sold to that important person."

"But that important person has something to do, and he agreed to take me away in half a month."

"I have seen that great man. He is fat and looks like a pig."

"I don't really have any requirements for my future husband, but he must be good-looking. After all, I like beautiful things."

"When I think about serving such an ugly person, I feel like committing suicide on the spot."

Xue Muwan looked at Gu Nian'an's cold and handsome face and couldn't help but move a little closer.

"If he could be as handsome as Master Gu, I would never resist."

Looking at Xue Muwan who was almost sticking to him, Gu Nian'an frowned, but didn't say much. This person was on his kill list, so there was no need to care too much.

"So, I was thinking about how to escape.

Although I haven’t been in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a long time, there are many people who are willing to spend money on me. With these things, I will live well no matter where I go. "

"At the same time, I want to take Xiaoxiang, the maid who has been with me for many years, with me. I think she will be implicated if I leave."

"But I never expected that she would betray me."

"She told Mother Wang that I wanted to escape, but she thought it was simple."

Gu Nian'an also thought so. What a stupid person and what a stupid behavior.

How could anyone dare to offend a mere brothel madam when she was about to become the wife or concubine of a big shot?

"So Mr. Gu thinks Xiaoxiang deserves to die?"

Gu Nian'an didn't want to answer this question.

Brothels are a mixed place, and it is difficult for small people to survive. They have their own code of conduct. Right or wrong is never important, and the most important thing is to be able to climb up.

"I saw her being beaten to death with my own eyes. That's why I knew she had always been jealous of me."

"I'm jealous that I can live like a young lady."

"I am jealous that I have so many admirers."

"I am jealous that I can become a wife or concubine of a great man."

"So what does Mr. Gu think human nature is?"
