Each world be

In an instant, Shen Yan used his lightness skills to get into the crowd.

Before Shi Qing could react, the enemy who had just attacked her fell down with his eyes wide open.

Seeing Shen Yan smiling dangerously in front of him, Shi Qing attacked without hesitation.

Shen Yan dodged to the side, grabbed her right hand with his backhand, pulled it hard, and used his internal force at the same time.

Shi Qing was forced to stagger forward a few steps.

He steadied himself immediately, his right hand was restrained, and his left hand suddenly hit his chest, and he kicked hard with his foot, hitting Shen Yan's calf.

Shen Yan's calves trembled, and he stared at her coldly. He restrained her other wrist expressionlessly, turned her around, and attacked her popliteal fossa with his right knee.

Suddenly, Shi Qing fell to his knees with his hands tied behind his back.

The moment Gu Xiao saw Shen Yan coming, he rushed to help Shi Qing.

However, he was still a step too slow, as Shen Yan had already subdued Shi Qing very quickly.

"Shen Yan, I'm going to fight you, so let her go!" Gu Xiao raised his sword and shouted coldly.

Shen Yan still smiled evilly, looking down at Gu Xiao, "Why should I fight with you? But you need something from me now."

Gu Xiao said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Shen Yan restrained Shi Qing with his hands, looking relaxed, "Exchange it for the swordplay secret book!"

Sure enough, Shen Yan openly announced the wedding to the world just to attract Gu Xiao.

It was for the secret book in his hand.

The sword-fighting secret book is extremely powerful. If Shen Yan can master it, no one in the world will be his match in the future.

Then he would not be able to accomplish his goal of eradicating the evil cult and taking revenge.

Gu Xiao felt cold in his heart, but A Qing was still in his hands.

At this moment, the girl was being pressed down by Shen Yan and kneeling on one knee on the ground. Her hair was half scattered behind her, with only a gardenia hairpin barely tied in her hair.

Shi Qing raised her head to look at him, her delicate face still wearing bridal makeup.

She shouted coldly with her red lips: "Gu Xiao, you can't give it to him! If you give it to him, you won't be able to take revenge in the future!"

Shen Yan sneered, his tone unhurried: "Gu Xiao, you better think it over, do you want the secret book or her?"

"Gu Xiao! He won't hurt me, you can't hand him over!" The girl was still calling him.

Gu Xiao looked at the anxious girl, lowered his brows and seemed to think for a moment.

Then he slowly raised his head and said, "I can give it to you, but there is one condition. Let both of us go."

After he finished speaking, Shi Qing looked at him in disbelief, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to contain tears and a hint of disappointment.

Gu Xiao noticed her gaze, his eyes softened and he smiled gently.

Although he was about to get the secret book, Shen Yan felt inexplicably irritated and unhappy.

Looking at the two people with affection, he sneered: "Okay!"

Gu Xiao pulled out an old blue book from his bosom and held it up. "I'll throw it over, and you release Ah Qing immediately."

After looking at Shen Yan for a second, Gu Xiao pursed his lips and threw him behind Shen Yan with all his strength.

At the same time, Shen Yan let go of Shi Qing.

He stepped forward and jumped up to catch the book flying backwards.

He landed on the ground and lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand.

The "Herb Encyclopedia" suddenly comes into view.

"Come on."

After catching Shi Qing, Gu Xiao immediately pulled her through the encirclement of the men in black and successfully reached the top of the cliff at the back mountain.

How dare you play tricks on him!

Looking at the two people standing on the edge of the cliff, the murderous intent in his heart was like a roaring beast.

No longer smiling, Shen Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Kill Gu Xiao!"

Gu Xiao stood on the edge of the cliff and fought with them.

This time, he held Shi Qing tightly in his hand, but he was still not at a disadvantage. Instead, the men in black were knocked down by him.

Looking at the fearless Gu Xiao, Wei Hu narrowed his eyes and the flesh on his face squeezed together.

He ordered one of his men behind him: "Bring the bow and arrow."

Taking the bow and arrow handed to him, Wei Hu closed one eye and stared at the fighting man with the other eye full of viciousness.

The tightly stretched bow suddenly shot out, and the arrow shot towards Gu Xiaofei.

At this moment, sensing the danger whistling through the air, Shi Qing used the hand he was holding to pull Gu Xiao over without hesitation, but she was pulled over by inertia.

puff-

The sound of an arrow piercing flesh suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of rocks rolling down from the cliff.

In an instant, the two people fell off the cliff together and disappeared in the fog.

Shen Yan's face suddenly darkened, and the anger in his heart seemed to be overflowing.

He shouted coldly: "Why don't you go down and look for him? I want to see him alive or dead!"

Then, the cold voice spoke word by word: "Who shot the arrow just now?"

On the other side, Gu Xiao hugged Shi's limp body tightly, and with a splash, the two of them fell into the water.

Although the river was wide, the current was fast and the red blood quickly dissipated in the water.

And because it is at the bottom of a cliff, the surrounding sharp rocks appear and disappear in the rapids.

Gu Xiao brought Shi Qing to the surface, but was washed down by the current again.

He pulled Shi Qing tightly, trying to stand in front of her, and slammed heavily into the hard stone, then was swept down.

Just when Gu Xiao was about to sink, the water flow gradually calmed down and a pair of hands pulled them up.

"Gu Xiao, wake up." A cold voice sounded from above.

Then he spat out a mouthful of water, slowly opened his eyes, and a moon-white figure swayed above his head.

Gu Xiao sat up suddenly and looked around.

The girl's red wedding dress was soaked, her rouge was washed off, and her face looked extremely pale.

Her hair was scattered and stuck to her cheeks, and the gardenia hairpin she often wore was missing.

Looking at the lifeless girl, Gu Xiao's heart tightened and he hugged her, "Ah Qing, wake up quickly, A Qing."

The arrow in her back had been pulled out.

A white bandage wrapped in herbs was used to press on the wound, but the blood still soaked Gu Xiao's clothes.

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and his eyes were red, "Ziyin, please save her quickly."

Lu Ziyin, who had already checked her pulse, shook his head hesitantly, "Gu Xiao, she..."

He stopped talking, and the girl had already closed her eyes.

She said in a hoarse voice, "Gu Xiao..."

A feeling of surprise came over me, and the girl's voice seemed to cover up all the hidden uneasiness and panic.

Shi Qing frowned, the redness on her lips seemed to have faded away without her noticing, and the corners of her lips turned pale, "It hurts..."

Gu Xiao was careful not to touch her wound. When he heard her aggrieved and sad voice, it was as if countless needles were piercing his heart.

"Ah Qing, bear with it for a while, we'll go to the clinic now."

Shi Qing knew that he was leaving.

She endured the pain all over her body and forced a smile, miserable and fragile, saying weakly, "Gu Xiao, don't cry..."

Gu Xiao was stunned, only then he realized that tears had already rolled down his face without him noticing.

Shi Qing slowly raised her hand, slowly and laboriously wiped away the tears on the man's face, feeling bitter in her heart, "Don't be sad, I'm lucky to know you..."

Gu Xiao quickly held her hanging hand and touched his face.

I was extremely sad inside, but the boundless sorrow seemed to be blocked in my chest.

He sobbed and called her name over and over again: "A Qing, A Qing, you will be fine..."

Shi Qing finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of turbid blood.

Gu Xiao tried to wipe it hurriedly, but the more he wiped, the dirtier it became, and the girl's thin chin was stained with blood.

She seemed to be in great pain and she was crying silently.

She no longer cried out in pain to him, but just looked at him with a smile, a fragmented smile.

A pair of misty eyes filled with regret, "It's such a pity that I can't accompany you to do good deeds and travel around the world..."

The girl's lips opened and closed, and the following words were spoken in a very low voice. Gu Xiao lowered his head and moved closer to her, but it seemed that he only heard a soft sigh.

He looked at the girl hesitantly and slowly. She had closed her eyes.

Crystal tears were faintly hanging under the thick and curled eyelashes, and slowly slid down the cheeks under his gaze.

A chill spread from his heart, but he seemed not to feel it.

With trembling hands, he stroked her face and said softly, "Ah Qing, don't sleep."

His eyebrows were gentle, but his eyes contained unspeakable persistence and madness.

Lu Ziyin, who was standing by, had never seen his friend in such a state.

In his impression, Gu Xiao was always unbridled and ostentatious. Under his fearless and arrogant character, it turned out that he could be so fragile and vulnerable.

Although he felt sympathy for the girl's death, he thought of the diagnosis he had just made.

Lu Ziyin couldn't help but persuade: "Gu Xiao, she is dead."

Gu Xiao hugged Shi Qing's gradually cooling body tightly, remaining silent.

Lu Ziyin added: "She died of poison."

It wasn't because of the arrow, but because of the poison.

Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the girl lying on the bed, curled up in pain.

Was she already poisoned at that time?

She was afraid that he would worry and take risks for her, so she kept it to herself.

He felt that he didn't have much time left, so he left behind that inexplicable farewell letter.

She had no intention of living from the beginning.

"pat-"

Tears fell naturally.

Dripping on the girl's pale cheeks.

Lu Ziyin thought of some rumors about the Demon Cult and said angrily, "The Demon Cult has always been good at developing poisons. In order to control their subordinates to work hard for them, they will inevitably use some vicious means."

Maybe she felt that she couldn't wait for Gu Xiao.

Or maybe you just can't bear being controlled by others your whole life.

No matter how painful it was, he did not drink the antidote in the exquisite green wine jug on the table.

Decisively chose death.

The freedom I have been pursuing all my life has finally come to me.

【Extras】

Three years later.

"you lose."

On the steep cliff, Gu Xiao held a sword in his right hand, with the sharp tip pointing at the man in black.

He still liked to wear bright yellow clothes, with his jet-black hair tied up high and his hair a little messy.

Shen Yan looked even more embarrassed, his gorgeous black clothes were covered with bloodstains.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth gracefully, with a look of surprise on his evil face, "You actually succeeded in this."

Gu Xiao said in a cold voice: "After all these years, this is all you want to say."

As if thinking of something, Shen Yan's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and he said very slowly: "Could it be that you want to remember Ah Qing with me?"

The sword deviated slightly for a moment.

Shen Yan lowered his eyebrows and suddenly chuckled.

"That's right. After all, I have lived with her for so many years. I know her best. And you have only known her for less than half a year. I am the one she should be closest to..."

As he spoke, his face suddenly darkened.

"So, Gu Xiao, what qualifications do you have to say that you are avenging her? To be honest, Ah Qing's death was all because of you. If you hadn't insisted on taking her away, things wouldn't have ended like this!"

Only then did he finally take off his mask and reveal his most original side.

Ever since the two fell off the cliff, Shen Yan sent people to look for them.

But none was found.

Later, his subordinates reported that Gu Xiao had returned to Tianzong Sect alone.

There was no one traveling with him.

Gu Gu Xiao frowned, his narrow eyes filled with coldness: "She didn't want to stay here in the first place."

"Don't want to? Hahahaha..."

Shen Yan suddenly burst into laughter, "Yes, she doesn't want to. She would rather die than stay by my side. It was like this last time and it's the same this time!"

He looked a little crazy, so Gu Xiao stopped talking nonsense and just thrust the sword in his hand forward.

Shen Yan's laughter stopped abruptly.

He lowered his brows and looked at the sword in his chest, blood gushing out from the gap.

He chuckled for no apparent reason, unable to tell whether it was out of regret or sigh.

"In my dream, I treated her the same way."

Three years ago, he had a recurring dream.

In the dream, the woman was wearing a gorgeous and exquisite red wedding dress, standing alone and helpless on the cliff.

She desperately asked him why he refused to give her freedom.

What did he do at the beginning?

It seemed like he did like Gu Xiao, stabbing her with a sword and then watching her fall with cold eyes.

Everything was too real, as if it had really happened.

Is that why she behaves so differently in this life?

Desperate to please him.

Then, leave him.

But the result?

Still the same ending.

Shen Yan suddenly felt a little tired. He pulled the sword out of his chest with his bare hands, closed his eyes and leaned back.

Falling into the rapid river.

-

Shi Qing's tomb is where they lived before.

The flowers and plants she had casually planted back then grew very well and blossomed gorgeously in the open space outside the wooden house.

Gu Xiao broke off a handful and gently placed it in front of the tombstone.

"Ah Qing, a lot of things happened in the past few years when you were away. Lu Ziyin and Miss Yin got married, the Demon Cult has been completely wiped out, and Shen Yan is dead. But no one can mention you to me anymore."

He cast his eyes gently on the cold tombstone and slowly stood up.

"I'll listen to you. From now on, I'm going to travel the world by myself, doing justice. The next time I see you, I will definitely bring the best peach blossom wine and tell you interesting stories about the world."

In the sunlight, the bright yellow figure gradually moves away.

Looks free and easy.

But it is a bit bleak.
