"Let her go, she is innocent." Jiang Xue Ning said.

"I saved her from the pursuers' swords that year just to be prepared for any eventuality." He sneered, "I didn't expect that the Gu family was not completely wiped out and came back to fight."

Gu Shengsheng pinched her palms out of habit, and she could clearly hear her teeth squeaking because she bit too hard.

"For such a person, regardless of the deep hatred, you are willing to stay. Is it really worth it?" Gu Xingchen said with both heartache and regret, "You obviously had the opportunity to leave."

Gu Shengsheng closed his eyes and said miserably, "I am the one who got caught in my own trap and willing to be degraded."

Xiao Linfeng didn't even have the mood to find out when she could leave. The cold knife was touching the skin on her neck.

There was a bloodshot glow in his cold eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to save her?"

She said calmly, "What do you want?"

"I can't be the only one who's in pain and going crazy..." He looked at Shen Zhaoyan who was standing aside and said sinisterly, "Let him come over, one for one."

Why did a sickly person easily get the person he had been scheming for so long but failed to get? He felt very uncomfortable when he thought about how they would live happily together after his death.

He can't be the only one suffering, she has to feel pain too.

Shen Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Oh, you are jealous. You are dying, but you still can't bear to see us getting better. You are really a bad guy."

"Haha, since there's no turning back, I'll just go all the way to the end." He laughed crazily, "Things like repentance are all lies. I just regret that I wasn't ruthless enough!"

If he had the chance to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice. Love could not stop the pain nor save him. He was tired of living under someone else's roof and hated being controlled by others. So he would still pursue power and climb up by any means necessary, not caring whose corpses he stepped on.

She was not surprised at all that he did not repent. There were not so many people in the world who suddenly realized their mistakes and truly repented. He had done so many bad things and never regretted it. His regret before he died was just a feeling in his heart, which was still unforgivable.

"Shengsheng, you are willing to ruin your life just to stay with your enemy. Should I save you?"

This was a dangerous statement. He immediately looked at her with caution and sneered, "You are not reluctant to let her go, are you? I remember that Gu Mingwang treated you very well and doted on you. This is his only blood. Do you want to watch her die?"

"You are no different, just as selfish!"

This kind of provocation had no effect on her. She looked at Gu Shengsheng with a slightly cold gaze, "So, Shengsheng, what do you think?"

She knew very well that if Gu Shengsheng still had deep feelings for Xiao Linfeng, would she really be grateful if she rescued him?

"He single-handedly pushed for the extinction of the Gu family, killing your parents, brother and so many relatives. You clearly knew it..."

Being scrutinized by so many people, including her relatives, she felt hot and ashamed, and just wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide herself.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I just can't pull myself away..."

"So you think the tragic deaths of so many people in the Gu family can be forgiven? Won't you have nightmares and feel guilty if you stay with him?" Gu Xingchen asked back.

"I don't know...I really don't know..."

She said this in a state of collapse, and soon she couldn't breathe due to palpitations.

Xiao Linfeng held her waist with one hand to support her, and with the other hand he placed the knife across her neck, causing a little blood to flow.

He didn't want to drag it on any longer, "Let Shen Zhaoyan jump from here, and I'll let her go."

Jiang Xuening frowned, "You are quite thoughtful. One for one extreme."

Shen Zhaoyan walked towards them step by step. "Before I came in, I asked, no one who fell from the Wangduan Cliff has come up alive so far. So, you want to separate us from the Yin and Yang."

"I hate people like you the most. You are born into a noble family. You can get everything you want without any effort since you were a child."

Although he has the blood of the previous emperor, he is an existence that cannot be seen in public.

Jiang Xue Ning drew her bow and pointed three arrows at him, "Let her go."

He said in a daze, "You were the best archer back then. I haven't seen you draw a bow for many years. I didn't expect you to draw it for me today."

"Well, so you can die right now?"

As Shen Zhaoyan got closer, Gu Shengsheng felt his excitement. The blood on her neck flowed more and more, and her heart ached more and more.

"Uncle Xiao, you are really cruel to me."

"Once he jumps, I will let you go. Go back with your aunt and live a good life. From now on, you will be free."

"is it?"

She lowered her eyes. If he really jumped because of her, how could she have the face to go back alive? Now she couldn't face their gazes.

"You know that..." She murmured, "You know that I will not live long, but you still want to use me to play this drama and achieve your own goals."

Xiao Linfeng didn't say anything, but said to Shen Zhaoyan, "Jump down, haha, if you really love her."

Naturally, Shen Zhaoyan would not jump so obediently. He clenched the thin hidden weapon made of Thousand Silk Blades in his hand, which was extremely sharp and could kill with one blow.

This is a new skill he has developed in the past three years, and he has achieved some success with it.

"Uncle Xiao, I have always wanted you to spend more time with me and like me more. Living on the island, I am afraid of the dark and loneliness, so I have always been very good and obedient."

"But... I don't want to be good this time..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stabbed herself in the chest with her backhand... The dagger pierced deeply, and gentle blood splattered on his arms that were wrapped around her.

She fell down, and Xiao Linfeng was flustered.

At this moment, Jiang Xue Ning drew her bow and released three sharp arrows flying towards him. Shen Zhaoyan also threw a hidden weapon at him.

In the chaos, he dodged two arrows, one hitting him in the chest and the hidden weapon hitting his left side.

He fell to his knees on the ground in a panic, spitting blood.

Lu Wu covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears. Last night, Gu Shengsheng begged her to give her the sharpest dagger. She hid the dagger in her wide sleeves.

The moment she gave him the dagger, she had already guessed the outcome. But she still gave it to him. She thought that instead of being manipulated and used as a tool from beginning to end, it would be better to give him a chance to choose for himself, even if it meant death.

Finally, this girl who was raised like a dodder and was schemed against by others finally showed courage at the last moment.

"Uncle Xiao, I once thought you were the only person I could rely on in this world, so I loved you very much... But now I can't love you anymore..."

Unable to love or hate, she was overwhelmed and tormented by all kinds of emotions every day.

Xiao Linfeng reached out and stroked her face one last time, "I'm so bad, Shengsheng, you should have left without looking back."

After saying this, he suddenly fell backwards and gradually stopped breathing.

No one knows what he was thinking at the end of his life...

Jiang Xue Ning felt a dull pain in her arm because she pulled the bow too hard.

"I was shot dead outside the city gate many years ago, and many years later I shot him, the murderer behind the scenes, with my own hands."

She had waited for this day for so long that she was not as excited as she had imagined, but rather a little melancholy. The great revenge had been taken, but the dead could not come back.

Gu Shengsheng burst into tears, finally freed...

Jiang Xue Ning walked over and looked at her, not knowing what to say. Finally, she sighed and said, "This time, you are very brave."

"I'm useless, right? If I were really brave, I would kill him myself to avenge the Gu family, but I can't even do revenge."

"It's not your fault. You were too young when he controlled you."

Not everyone is strong and brave enough to withdraw and fight back immediately.

It was enough that she didn't get confused until the end; that was the limit of what she could do.

"I thought about it for a long time, and this is the only thing I can do. I am destined to die soon, so I will use my death to atone for my sins and ruin his plan."

"When I reach the underworld, I will personally go and apologize to my parents, grandparents... everyone."

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "We don't blame you, go with peace of mind, you did a great job."

She finally looked in the direction of Lu Wu and begged, "She has been taking care of me all these years, Aunt, please...be her..."

Lu Wu finally couldn't help crying and rushed over, "Girl..."

"Don't cry, be fine in the future... Death is a relief for me..."

After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of Xiao Linfeng, slowly closed her eyes and fell silent.

Jiang Xue Ning stood up and walked over to look at Xiao Xiaolinfeng's body. "I originally wanted to chop off your head and take it back to offer it to the Gu family. Now I think it's bad luck, it's better for you to be exposed in the wilderness."

Shen Zhaoyan stabbed him a few more times with his sword, and when he was sure he was dead, he kicked his body into the abyss.

"If you like people dancing so much, just dance yourself."

She brought Gu Shengsheng's body back and buried it in front of the grave of Gu Mingwang and his wife.

"She is the eldest daughter of my eldest brother and his wife. They love her the most since she was a child. They will not blame her."

Gu Xingchen's eyes turned red with pain and he didn't say anything. He felt so disappointed to see her staying with Xiao Linfeng, but he also felt sad to see her die.

Jiang Xue Ning said to Lu Wu, "Go ahead, I won't make things difficult for you."

She went back to Biboting and then left without a trace.

The news that Xiao Linfeng was surrounded and killed at Wangduan Cliff and his body was nowhere to be found spread quickly.

With his death, the old dynasty came to an end and a new dynasty was about to begin.
