Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"Who exactly are you? What's your name?"

Gongsun Lü'e took a few bites, then turned to look at Duan Zhengchun with a face full of curiosity.

"Don't ask anymore. He's not a good person anyway. Knowing too much won't do you any good."

Duan Zhengchun smiled, lay back on the bundle behind him, looked at the starry sky through the gap in the dilapidated temple roof, and casually replied.

"I do not believe!"

Gongsun Lü'e shook her head, absolutely certain.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Duan Zhengchun asked with a smile.

Gongsun Lü'e looked serious, thought for a moment, and said softly, "If you were a bad person, why would you use your internal energy to expel the poison for me? And why would you give me food? You must be the one who saved me, right?"

"How did you deal with those bastards from the Jiaolong Gang?"

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and smiled wryly, saying calmly, "It seems you're not only a crybaby, but also a completely defenseless idiot!"

"When you're in the martial world, don't easily trust anyone, including your closest friends and family. Since you're new to this world, this is the first lesson I'm teaching you!"

He didn't tell Gongsun Lü'e that the people from the Jiaolong Gang were all dead, because he didn't want this incident to leave an indelible shadow on this innocent and carefree girl.

Gongsun Lü'e frowned and pondered for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Duan Zhengchun and said, "You're the idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but laugh, laughing uncontrollably for no apparent reason; he just felt like laughing.

This was the happiest night of his life since leaving Zhongnan Mountain, because of this girl named Gongsun Lü'e.

Suddenly, he thought of the Little Dragon Girl in the Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain, and a trace of melancholy immediately overwhelmed the original joy in his heart.

He missed her.

Are you alright? Have you missed me?

Perhaps I'm just being delusional...

"Could you take me to find my father? We got separated at the Emerald City market, and I don't know if he's alright..."

At this moment, Gongsun Lü'e's voice rang out again, pulling Duan Zhengchun back from his memories.

"Your father would risk your life for those fake treasures, and you still care about him?"

Duan Zhengchun answered casually, a hint of disdain flashing across his face.

What kind of good person can a big man dressed in a flashy manner be?

But unexpectedly, he was able to give birth to a daughter as lovely as Gongsun Lü'e.

"You're not allowed to talk about my father like that! He loves me very much. He raised me all by himself from childhood to adulthood. Although he was a bit strict, he and my senior brother are my only family."

"They must be looking for me too..."

Gongsun Lü'e pouted and complained, then revealed a face full of disappointment and worry.

Duan Zhengchun said in a deep voice, "Since I saved you, I will not let you leave easily. You must repay this life-saving grace."

"I want to take you back, make you my little wife, and have your babies with me."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e, who was missing her father, blushed instantly and was at a loss. She hurriedly turned her back to Duan Zhengchun, her heart pounding.

"Gongsun Lü'e, what a wonderful name! And the person is just like her name, like an orchid in a secluded valley, fresh and elegant, like a green shadow swaying in the wind, flowing with poetic charm. A beautiful name, beautiful calligraphy, so beautiful..."

Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhengchun spoke again, and as he spoke, he closed his eyes, turned over to face Gongsun Lü'e, and fell into a deep sleep.

Just now we said that Gongsun Lü'e was completely unprepared, but now he was no different.

Gongsun Lü'e hesitated and slowly turned around, gazing at Duan Zhengchun's handsome face, her complexion suddenly becoming even more flushed.

...

Three days later.

Duan Zhengchun brought Gongsun Lü'e to a small town, and they went into a restaurant together. They ordered a large table full of delicious food, and every single dish was one of Gongsun Lü'e's favorites.

For the next three days, they were inseparable, riding together on a single horse, and their relationship grew ever closer.

"Who exactly are you? You still haven't told me your name."

Halfway through the meal, Gongsun Lü'e brought up the old topic again.

Does it really matter who I am?

Duan Zhengchun took a sip of wine and asked a question casually.

Gongsun Lü'e paused for a moment, then slowly said, "You said before that you were a member of the Jiaolong Gang, but you are not. Moreover, we have been heading west these past few days, not towards the northern desert at all."

"You say you're not a good person, but I don't believe it. If you're a bad person, then there probably aren't any good people in the world."

Throughout their journey, Duan Zhengchun had always taken good care of her, providing her with food and drink. Whatever she asked for, Duan Zhengchun would agree without hesitation, never mistreating her or bullying her.

She kept all of this in her heart.

Hearing Gongsun Lüe's incredibly sincere words, Duan Zhengchun was deeply moved, especially by the last sentence.

Although he hadn't done anything heinous in his past life, he never considered himself a good person.

The word "good person" carries too much weight; it's not just about clearly distinguishing between good and evil. He felt he didn't deserve the title.

"Also, why are you in Dali?"

Gongsun Lü'e seemed unwilling to give up and continued to press for answers.

"Because that's my hometown."

Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment before slowly replying.

"You're from Dali? Then why are you heading west? This place is well outside of Dali."

Gongsun Lü'e looked at Duan Zhengchun with some surprise and confusion.

"My surname is Duan, and my given name is Duan... Duan Feng."

“This time when I returned to Dali, I saw too many things that the Mongol Tartars oppressed and harmed the people of Dali. If I continued to stay there, I would only suffer more, because I can’t change anything.”

Duan Zhengchun gave a wry smile, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Since you can't stand it, why don't you stand up for them? Your martial arts skills are so high, why don't you drive all those bad guys away?"

Gongsun Lü'e hesitated for a moment, then continued to press for answers.

How do you know I'm skilled in martial arts?

Duan Zhengchun asked with a smile.

"Since you were able to rescue me from the Jiaolong Gang, your martial arts skills must be quite high. Moreover, my father must have been looking for me. The fact that he hasn't been able to find me for so long means that you not only have high martial arts skills, but also have a great ability to hide your whereabouts!"

Gongsun Lü'e looked at Duan Zhengchun with utmost seriousness, her two big eyes blinking.

Duan Zhengchun said helplessly, "Make decisions? I can't even make decisions for myself, how can I make decisions for others?"

"Ultimately, it's all because the Dali Kingdom was weak. Even if I killed the emperor of Mongolia, could I change the outcome? The Dali Kingdom is gone, and almost all of its royal family members are dead."

"Can I kill all of the hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops by myself? Can I drive them away? Moreover, the more I kill, the more likely they will continue to ruthlessly harm the people!"

After hearing these words, Gongsun Lü'e fell silent, seemingly agreeing with Duan Zhengchun's assessment.

The idea of ​​one person fighting against an entire nation sounds absurd.

"Moreover, I am no longer called Duan Feng, but Yin Zhiping, just an ordinary person in the martial arts world, nothing more."

"I am no longer related to the Dali Kingdom."

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he picked up the wine pot and took a few big gulps.

He felt helpless, helpless that he couldn't change anything on his own, but his hatred for Mongolia only deepened, though he didn't like to talk about it.

He had secretly vowed that even though the Dali Kingdom had been destroyed, he would be irreconcilably opposed to the Mongol Kingdom for the rest of his life.

He suddenly felt that his situation was similar to that of his grandmaster, Master Chongyang, both facing an inescapable yet powerless outcome.

Gongsun Lü'e looked at Duan Zhengchun, who was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and suddenly felt a pang of heartache. An indescribable emotion welled up in her eyes.

She didn't ask any more questions, but silently took the wine pot from Duan Zhengchun's hand, picked up some food for him, and brought him a moment of peace.

"I have to go to the Western Regions to take care of something. Would you be willing to come with me?"

Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a long time before looking at Gongsun Lü'e seriously.

Faced with this sudden question, Gongsun Lü'e was taken aback and fell silent.

"Just kidding, I was just asking casually."

"This place isn't too far from Emerald City. Your father and the others should have been looking for you. If you stay here and wait, they will find you soon."

Duan Zhengchun smiled awkwardly, continued drinking, and didn't bring it up again.

Gongsun Lü'e sat silently to the side, constantly pouring wine for Duan Zhengchun without saying a word. She poured as many cups as Duan Zhengchun drank.

In the dead of night, Gongsun Lü'e helped the completely drunk Duan Zhengchun to an inn and asked for a superior room.

Looking at Duan Zhengchun, who was drunk and unconscious on the bed, Gongsun Lü'e's face turned red, and she seemed a little nervous. Even her breathing became heavy.

From the moment she first met Duan Zhengchun in the tavern, he left a deep impression on her. Later, when she was captured by the Jiaolong Gang, she thought her fate would be tragic, but unexpectedly, it was Duan Zhengchun, whom she had only met once, who saved her.

They were inseparable throughout the journey, talking about almost everything. She gradually began to feel unable to let him go, so she was reluctant to leave and willingly followed him for a long time.

She didn't know when it started, but her heart was now completely filled with him...
