She became a god

Wen Xichun once almost killed Yuantong.

To be precise, Grain Rain is going to kill Awakening of Insects.

That was the second year that Gu Yu entered Canghai Pavilion. Her aloof personality made her unpopular, and her companions kept their distance from her, secretly ostracizing her.

There was only one exception: Jingzhe, the beloved disciple of Xiaofeng Saint Envoy.

Even through a mask, Gu Yu seemed to be able to glimpse the gentle smile of Jing Zhe.

In my memory, the Awakening of Insects is always so gentle.

Even though Gu Yu couldn't control the sword properly while practicing, he pierced his chest with that sharp divine weapon.

Feiyun was furious. First, he was angry that Guyu's performance was poor, making his boasting in front of his colleagues a laughing stock. Second, he was angry that Guyu injured Jingzhe, which brought Xiaofeng into the trouble.

He was about to use the Serpent Whip to lash Gu Yu, but was stopped by the weakened Jing Zhe.

“Saint Envoy Feiyun, it was because my cultivation was not up to par that I was unable to react in time. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

Because Feiyun had taken the blame for Jingzhe, he couldn't say anything.

The victims aren't pursuing the matter anymore, yet his mentor, the perpetrator, is still making excuses; it only makes him seem hypocritical.

Moreover, given the moral bottom line of Canghai Pavilion, they have no concept of victims.

Grain Rain escaped a calamity, but Awakening of Insects was punished by Dawn Wind.

Blood kept seeping from the wound, and sweat dripped onto the ground.

Seeing Jingzhe running thirty laps with weights despite her injury, Guyu asked in confusion, "Why?"

"You didn't do it on purpose, and the reason I can get hurt is ultimately because I'm too weak."

After saying this, Jingzhe left, leaving only Guyu lost in thought, staring at the blood and sweat stains on the playground.

Since then, a subtle relationship has developed between the two of them.

They were rarely assigned to the same group, but whenever they were, they always performed exceptionally well.

As they interacted more, they would occasionally chat for a few minutes.

Once, Jingzhe disappeared for half a year. When he was seen again, he was holding a string of candied hawthorns.

"Would you like to try some? My sister loves this; she says no one can resist the temptation of sweets."

Gu Yu took a small bite and said, "It's too sweet."

Jingzhe pulled out a bunch of pastries. "I also have coconut milk cake, jujube paste cake, yam cake, osmanthus cake, cloud cake, mung bean cake, fragrant rice cake... Which one do you want?"

"Are these also your sister's favorite foods?"

"Yes, she loves sweets so much that her teeth are almost ruined, but she still keeps asking for more. Her family doesn't dare give her too much, and they're afraid she'll throw a tantrum, so they give it all to me. She knows I don't come home often, so she's too embarrassed to ask me for food."

That day, Gu Yu ate a dessert he had never tasted before while listening to Jing Zhe talk about his sister.

Gu Yu realized for the first time that not everyone was homeless like her, and that some people's homes were warm and bright, not dark and damp like a dilapidated temple.

"You have a home, why do you still stay here?"

"I will leave when it's time to leave."

"Can you take me away?"

Gu Yu suddenly wanted to go outside and see for herself how people with families lived.

"it is good."

Under a clear blue sky, with the occasional gentle breeze, Gu Yu, who was enjoying her pastries, would feel for a moment as if she were the free wind.

...

When she was thirteen, her period came around and she thought she was being poisoned and was going to die.

In my daze, I saw the Awakening of Insects.

Jingzhe found her a menstrual belt and taught her about physiology.

She must have been in so much pain to ask such a delirious question, "You know so much about this, have you been here before?"

Jingzhe paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Everyone in my hometown knows about menstruation, so I've picked it up from a young age."

Later, when Guyu arrived in the human world, she found that everyone tabooed menstruation. She wondered, where exactly is Jingzhe's home?

Much later, when they met again and had gone through many things, she realized that the home Jingzhe spoke of was not the human realm but the demon realm, and that the home Jingzhe spoke of was his sister's home, not his own.

He was originally a homeless person, just like me.

Gu Yu was unaware of all this at the time, so she couldn't understand why Jing Zhe would sigh so softly every time she mentioned home.

The friendships of young people often come about unexpectedly; they tend to come together because of certain specific goals.

In order to escape, they devised a series of plans.

When Gu Yu was fourteen, all four Holy Envoys of Canghai Pavilion left on business, leaving only assassins of the same generation within the sect.

They knew this was their only chance to escape.

The two girls left together, crossing mountains and rushing rivers, and escaped to a small town.

Once you leave that small town, you'll be free.

The town's exit has two forks in the road; Gu Yu (Grain Rain) doesn't want to separate them, but Jing Zhe (Awakening of Insects) is unusually stubborn.

"If each person takes a different path, there's still a chance of escaping. But if we all take the wrong path, then we're really doomed."

Thinking of freedom, Gu Yu silently embarked on another path.

Fortunately, that was the right path.

Unfortunately, there was someone on the road – Xiaofeng.

"I remember you. You are Gu Yu, Fei Yun's disciple. Did you escape alone?"

"Yes."

For the next month, Gu Yu spent in the water dungeon of Canghai Pavilion.

Xiaofeng said that since she dared to run away, she should suffer all eighteen tortures.

Despite being in excruciating pain, Gu Yu dared not die, because she still did not know the whereabouts of Jingzhe.

If Jingzhe has already escaped and is coming to rescue her, wouldn't it be a great pity that she died so young?

I saw Jingzhe again in the summer when cicadas were chirping. He was clean and stood upright beside Xiaofeng.

Gu Yu was covered in wounds and blood.

"Jingzhe, I've heard that you've always taken good care of Guyu. Would you like to transfer this departure spot to her?"

leave?

Can we leave this hellhole and go see the outside world?

A glimmer of light appeared in Gu Yu's eyes.

"There must be some petty person who is jealous of me, so they spread rumors about my relationship with Gu Yu. I have only met Gu Yu a few times. How could I give her the opportunity to go out? I beg Your Majesty to see the truth."

"Yes, the opportunity to leave Canghai Pavilion with dignity is so precious. If I had it, I wouldn't be willing to give it to someone else."

After Gu Yu was released from the water prison, she heard people say that Jing Zhe was really lucky, as she actually got the opportunity to be sent on a mission.

At Canghai Pavilion, being sent abroad is the only opportunity to go out, apart from carrying out missions and returning home for leave.

Every person sent abroad is exceptionally talented.

The man looked at her as he spoke, "If Gu Yu hadn't been thinking of running away, you would be the one being sent out now, not Jing Zhe, that spineless dog who only agrees with the Holy Envoy. What a pity..."

That night, Gu Yu, despite being ill, went to confront Jing Zhe, asking, "Are you using me as a pawn?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jingzhe replied, "Yes."

The summer winds were too weak, and the air was exceptionally muggy, so muggy that even on Grain Rain, one could hardly see the way out.

Across the wilderness, the boy galloped away, leaving behind only a vow to last until death.

"Awakening of Insects, Heaven bears witness, I will surely kill you in this lifetime!"
