The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack: The Evil King's Doctor Consort's Ent

Chapter 334 Stance

She sobbed softly, "I was just following orders. I never did anything to harm anyone. Those things were all done by that old man. I was innocent and forced into it. I was only forced to obey orders because I was poisoned by him!"

She shouted loudly, but Gu Lingzhi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

During this time, she also kept busy and thoroughly investigated the identities of these people.

Apart from the masked man in black, she knew everyone else very well.

The woman and her face were clearly fake; her ability was to impersonate someone else.

"Jiuxiao, I'll take care of this woman!"

Gu Lingzhi narrowed her eyes slightly and aimed a bow and arrow at the woman sitting on the ground.

Seeing that things were not going well, the woman turned to run away, but was pinned to the ground by a sword that Mo Jiuxiao had thrown.

The rest of the people were already trembling with fear and dared not approach.

Gu Lingzhi dealt with that woman efficiently and breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of sadness inexplicably appearing in her eyes.

However, at least Chun'er and the others have avenged themselves.

Although killing them directly would ultimately benefit them, she felt that letting them live one more day was a blessing.

After killing the woman and the old man, Gu Lingzhi punished the remaining people according to their crimes, but spared one person.

The person was dressed in the simplest black clothes, but their face was covered and could not be seen clearly.

Gu Lingzhi did not interrogate the person outside the city, but brought him back.

She vaguely recognized the person's identity, but for a moment she couldn't confirm it and couldn't believe it.

Gu Lingzhi felt heavy-hearted; in this struggle, they had ultimately suffered too many losses.

Mo Jiuxiao sat at the very top, his brows furrowing slightly.

Gu Lingzhi walked down the steps and looked directly into the man's eyes from the closest position.

"Moying, I really didn't expect that person to be you."

Her lips twitched slightly as she uttered the person's name, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

The man slowly removed the mask from his face and smiled gently at Gu Lingzhi.

“What did I not expect? From the first moment I saw you, I recognized you, Lingzhi…”

Gu Lingzhi was stunned.

"Then why did you show me kindness? Why did you help Jiuxiao fight against Situ Ming? You did so much for me and Mo Jiuxiao in Jiangyang, was it all just a lie?"

Mo Ying was taken aback.

He lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Of course it's all true."

Gu Lingzhi was confused by what the other person said.

"Mo Ying, what exactly are you doing this for?"

Mo Ying couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

"Of course I'll take you back."

Gu Lingzhi was completely startled when she heard this. Her expression changed, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

"Go back? Go back where?"

"Let's go back to where we used to be."

Mo Ying sighed helplessly.

"Don't blame me for taking the initiative, Lingzhi. Don't forget that you also have relatives and friends in that place, and they will miss you very much. You only have one chance to go back, which is to let everything continue as it was originally planned."

Gu Lingzhi never expected that the ending would be like this.

Even more unexpectedly, she still hears the word "go back" to this day.

She turned her head and glanced at Mo Jiuxiao, who was standing not far away. His eyes were full of worry, and his muscles seemed to be tense.

But he said nothing, and the tension in his dark eyes was palpable.

"I do not go."

She lowered her eyes, a dark glint flashing in them.

"I'm sorry, I might have made it so that you can't go back either."

Mo Ying fell silent.

He immediately shook his head.

"I knew you'd give this answer, but oh well, I lost to you after all."

Gu Lingzhi never expected that she wasn't the only one who had traveled through time from the very beginning.

The changes that will alter everything will prevent her from returning to her original world.

Mo Ying's eyes held a deep sense of loneliness.

Gu Lingzhi's lips were tightly pressed together, but she felt somewhat uncomfortable. She said in a low voice, "Perhaps there are other ways."

Mo Ying shook his head and smiled faintly: "Don't worry about me. I also found it very strange to come here suddenly. Fortunately, you've been here all along. Besides, I'm a carefree prince here and I'm doing quite well. You don't need to feel guilty. As for the trouble I've caused you during this time, it's my fault."

He lowered his head slightly, and his slightly pointed chin moved.

“Lingzhi, to be honest, I’ve always treated this place as just a game. I’ve never truly integrated myself into it. All I could think about was how to get back. I’m completely different from you.”

Gu Lingzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

His situation was actually no different from hers at the beginning; he saw himself as a passerby who would eventually return.

But now... it's been several years.

She is very happy here. Not only does she have the person she cares about most, but she also has the life she has always dreamed of.

"Moying, I understand how you feel, but I just can't accept it. Now that you're here, try to live well!"

Her tone was full of persuasion.

Mo Ying focused intently on Gu Lingzhi, then threw the face towel on the ground and turned to walk outside.

"Gu Lingzhi, you may walk your own path, but I will still persevere on mine. No matter the outcome, no one can stop me."

He paused, then suddenly stood at the doorway, turned to the side, and smiled at Gu Lingzhi.

"You need to think this through... If I don't die, you'll be in danger of being taken back at any time. Your best choice now is to kill me, not let me go."

Gu Lingzhi's heart tightened as she couldn't help but think of what had happened recently.

She would fall into a coma for no apparent reason each time, and it would take her two or three days to wake up. Although this was not common, it still terrified her.

What if she really disappeared from this world?

If it weren't for her, Mo Jiuxiao would probably... would still live a good life.

After all, he got through those two years, didn't he?

"Moying, I don't object to your choice. You lost this time, but I will give you another chance. If you can't find a way back within a year, then stay here with me."

After all, they are friends, both then and now.

They are not enemies; they simply made different choices.

Gu Lingzhi couldn't bring herself to selfishly destroy all of the other person's paths for her own sake.

"I only have one request: please stop harming innocent people!"

Mo Ying paused for a moment.

"The matter of your four maids has little to do with me. Believe it or not, I only approached them in the last year. I genuinely helped you before, and out of that kindness, I hope you'll show mercy!"
