After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

Pei Zhiyi was stopped, and her tone became unpleasant when she thought about having to be frank.

"You just heard me say I was a little tired today and wanted to rest. Did you have to talk to me at this time?"

Gu Xizhou choked for a moment, "Okay, let's talk after you've rested."

Some things may have to be said.

Even though Gu Xizhou didn't want to face this situation so soon, he knew that Pei Zhiyi was actually very smart. She might have noticed everything a long time ago, but just didn't say it. And he couldn't accept her coldness forever. It would be better to speak up directly. Maybe it would be better for everyone.

"Let's talk about it then."

Pei Zhiyi went straight back to the inn, went up to the second floor, and closed the door with a loud noise.

"What are you planning to say to her? I've never seen my precious disciple so angry."

Gu Xizhou was silent for a while, his voice hoarse and low, "Something I have to say."

Shen Yun: “…”

This made him, who was very gossipy at the moment, very distressed. What you said was the same as if you hadn't said anything. What do you mean by something that has to be said? He was just asking you what the matter was. He really listened to your words, but ended up listening to a bunch of nonsense.

"Young people, oh, young people."

Shen Yun originally wanted to give a lecture based on his own experience, but when he thought about his previous failures, he immediately swallowed back everything he wanted to say.

Things like feelings cannot be explained in a few words. In the end, it all comes down to what the person themselves thinks.

"Some things are better to be talked about openly. The most taboo thing about relationships is concealment and deception."

Shen Yun patted Gu Xizhou's shoulder and sighed, "The road ahead is long and arduous."

Gu Xizhou: “…”

But he had just violated a taboo, concealing and deceiving both. If he were the one being deceived and concealed, he probably wouldn't want to forgive the other party.

"Thank you, senior."

This day will come sooner or later, so it’s better to come sooner.

Gu Xizhou looked deeply in the direction of Pei Zhiyi's room, his eyes full of nostalgia and attachment.

The next day

Gu Xizhou stood in front of Pei Zhiyi's door early in the morning, and Pei Zhiyi was almost scared when he opened the door.

"Have you been standing here all night?"

Gu Xizhou shook his head. "No, I just calculated the time you might open the door, so I waited here an incense stick's time in advance."

Pei Zhiyi: “…”

It seems that he is determined to break this situation today.

"If you want to say something, say it right here."

Gu Xizhou looked around and felt that standing at the door and talking about this was not a good choice.

"Why don't we go inside and talk?"

Pei Zhiyi stared at Gu Xizhou, then without thinking about anything else, he pulled him into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Just tell me if you have anything."

Gu Xizhou nodded, but remained silent for a long time.

Pei Zhiyi didn't have much patience, but this time she waited for Gu Xizhou to speak first, with more patience than ever before.

"I"

Gu Xizhou was about to say something, but suddenly he didn't know how to start.

"Don't know where to start?"

Gu Xizhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded stupidly.

In front of Pei Zhiyi, he seemed to have no brains at all.

"Then let's start by taking off the mask and being honest."

Pei Zhiyi sneered after he finished speaking, and almost took off the annoying mask himself.

Gu Xizhou: “…”

So, after all, I recognized it a long time ago.

Gu Xizhou smiled bitterly and covered the mask with his hand, "When did my benefactor recognize me?"

The moment the mask was taken off, the face that Pei Zhiyi was most familiar with was finally revealed.

"In the beginning."

At the beginning?

Gu Xizhou didn't know whether he should be glad that Pei Zhiyi understood him well enough, or sad that his disguise skills were so poor.

"Perhaps it wasn't me who recognized you at first, but someone told me your true identity when you approached me."

Gu Xizhou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he knew who said it without asking.

"Then why didn't you expose it when you saw me?"

"Because I was wondering if you would take the initiative to be honest with me." Pei Zhiyi suddenly moved closer, and the distance between him and Gu Xizhou was suddenly closer than ever before, so close that they could even hear each other's heavy breathing.

"Gu Xizhou, I originally thought... even if we weren't lovers who knew and cherished each other, we were still friends, a relationship that owed you a debt of gratitude, a relationship of honesty that was enough to destroy all lies. But in reality, that's not the case. You've always had a grudge against me. Or perhaps it's not a grudge, but a threat. Do you think I'll eventually become a threat to you?"

"no!"

Gu Xizhou denied it almost instantly, "I never felt that you would be a threat to me, and I never had any grudge against you."

"Then why did you wear a mask to meet me? Why did you sneak up on me when you came? Why would someone tell me that just because I didn't choose the same path as you, just because I didn't follow the path you wanted me to take, you want to kill me..."

"I didn't mean to kill you!"

Gu Xizhou's usually stable mood became unstable. There was red in his eyes and at the corners of his eyes, making him look pitiful.

"I've always known what kind of person you are. I've also always known that what you hate most is being constrained. I want to respect you, so I chose to hide it. It's not because I have any grudges against you, but this is the only way I can better protect you and prevent you and me from becoming mortal enemies."

"But when you chose to conceal it from the beginning, didn't that confirm that you and I would become mortal enemies?"

Pei Zhiyi took a few steps back, not wanting to look at the pitiful appearance of Gu Xizhou, the beautiful woman.

"I know clearly that you are not an ordinary person. In fact, just two days ago, I was even more certain that you might be the Qinghua Divine Lord that was rumored. The Divine Clan loves the world and has responsibilities and things that must be done. So I don't blame you for hiding it from me at all."

"benefactor……"

Pei Zhiyi stretched out his hand to signal Gu Xizhou not to speak. "Logically, I have no right to blame you for hiding it from me. After all, from your perspective, it's not called concealment, it's a very normal thing. But from an emotional point of view, I can't help but blame you, because I have expressed my feelings to you several times, but you selectively ignored them, which really hurt my self-esteem."

"benefactor……"

Gu Xizhou's voice choked with sobs. He reached out to touch Pei Zhiyi, but Pei Zhiyi dodged him.

"But it doesn't matter. I've always known how to heal myself, and I don't necessarily need your response."
