Legend of the Gu Demon

The moon and stars are sparse, the cicadas sing and the birds hiss,

Ningchen looked at the thin figure in front of him quietly, feeling bitter and clear in his heart.

"Have you cried enough? If you have cried enough, lead the way."

Yilian tried her best to suppress it, but the tears fell down her cheeks like broken pearls.

She has never talked about her past to outsiders, but now she said it in one breath,

Sadness, helplessness, and grievances burst out in my heart, and I lost control of my emotions.

But she knew better that she couldn't cry anymore,

Yi Lian bit her lip tightly. She bit it so hard that she even bit her lip without noticing it. She let the blood drip from her lips to the ground.

The pain between her lips also caused the tears in the corners of her eyes to stop, and a sweet smell came out between her teeth. Only then did Yilian realize that she had bitten her lip.

"Looks like I've had enough crying, so let's lead the way."

Yi Lian looked up after hearing this, and her eyes met Ning Chen's surprisingly calm black eyes. She stood quietly without any trace of sullenness.

"Come with me."

Yilian wiped her face to wipe away the tears on her face, turned around and walked away.

"You'd better think clearly about what you want to do, Yi Lian."

Ningchen slowly followed Yilian's pace, speaking slowly and calmly, not only to remind Yilian, but also to warn her,

After hearing this, Yi Lian's figure froze slightly, but soon returned to normal. Even though her movements were very small, she was still caught by Ning Chen.

Under the moonlight, Yi Lian's thin clothes revealed a faint glow, and Ning Chen took a rough look at her already thin body.

"You don't have to worry about this. I've been helpless since I was a child. Besides, who dares to attack a Gu Master?"

As if she was afraid that Ningchen would have more doubts, Yilian walked in front and took the initiative to explain to Ningchen, even emphasizing the word "Gu Master".

"Yeah?"

Ningchen chuckled and responded to Yilian. The teasing words left Yilian at a loss as to what to do, so she could only respond with silence.

The two of them walked quickly, and before they knew it, they had gone deeper into the forest. There were more and more branches and vines nearby, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

The remaining light of his black eyes was observing the surroundings. Ningchen was walking leisurely, and his five senses were observing everything around him. He would not be so naive as to believe the words of a person he met for the first time.

Suddenly, a few lights appeared in Ningchen's sight, and when he listened carefully, there were a few noisy human voices filling the air.

"It's coming soon."

Yilian's clear voice suddenly reached Ningchen's ears. Ningchen's face remained calm, but he sighed in his heart,

"I didn't expect there to be a village here. I'm afraid this place has already left the jurisdiction of Gu Yue Village."

Ningchen followed Yilian slowly, focusing most of his attention on the village in the distance. The two of them were getting closer and closer to the village, and the lights became more obvious.

The two of them passed through layers of forest barriers, and then they truly saw this pastoral mountain residence far away from Guyue Village.

"Hey, isn't that Sister Meng Yilian?"

"Oh~ It's Lian'er. Why did she come back so late today? What did she do?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her much all day today, huh? Why is there a boy following her?"

"Is it possible? Chun Na is Xiao Yi Lian's boyfriend?"

As soon as the two of them stepped into the village, they felt several looks on them, some were teasing, some were confused and some were concerned.

The sound of their discussion was not loud, but it fell clearly on their ears.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to lie to you. It's true that Meng is my last name, but my father never mentioned my last name. After his death, the villagers took care of themselves and added 'Meng' to me. prefix surname.”

"It doesn't matter, whether you are 'Meng Yilian' or 'Yilian', I will call you Yilian. There is no other reason, it's just smooth."

Yilian was very cautious, fearing that Ningchen behind her would be angry, so whenever she was worried that Ningchen would misunderstand, she would take the initiative to explain.

However, she wrongly blamed Ningchen after all. How could Ningchen be angry over such a trivial matter?

Both "Meng Yilian" and "Yilian" are just names, and Ningchen only cares about her value.

The two of them didn't pay attention to the rumors from the people around them. Yilian walked straight to a thatched hut at the edge of the village.

That thatched hut was located on the edge of the entire village. From a distance, it was much smaller in size than the bamboo hut next to it. It was simple and dilapidated, lacking branches and leaves, and could only barely settle down.

The two of them gradually drifted away. Yilian stepped into the hut first, followed by Ningchen. After stepping through the door,

"Sister, you are back!"

A sweet child's voice came from the house. Ningchen's eyes were fixed, but she was a girl who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

She was born in pink and jade, with a delicate and frail body. Even though she is dressed in coarse linen clothes, it is still difficult to conceal her attractiveness. Her bright eyes and white teeth make people look at her with only compassion and love, and cannot give rise to any evil thoughts.

"You raised your sister very well, she is a lovely little girl!"

Ningchen looked at it and saw that his complexion was rosy and his arms and wrists were slender but not thin. Then he looked at Yilian beside him.

"Yihe, did any strangers come over when I was not at home?"

Yi Lian did not respond to Ning Chen. She knelt down and stroked Yi He's little head, looking at her with a different kind of heartache.

"No, even Brother Wang next door came to see me, but I didn't open the door. By the way, sister, who is this brother behind you?"

Madam Lian's soft eyes met Yi He's untainted eyes. After hearing about Brother Wang next door, her gentle face instantly darkened.

"In the future, don't open the door when that brother Wang comes, understand? The brother behind me..."

Yilian suppressed her anger and spoke softly, but she didn't know how to explain Ningchen to her.

"I am your sister's friend. We are here to discuss something. Can you go out and play for a while?"

Ningchen took the initiative to answer Yihe's question in Yilian's somewhat surprised eyes. He smiled softly and the gentleness in his eyes was completely different from before.

"Oh, okay."

Yihe was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. She didn't show any dissatisfaction when Ningchen asked to leave.

"By the way, brother, my name is Yihe."

When she walked to the door, Yihe seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled at Ningchen, her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Ningchen also responded to her with a gentle smile. After Yihe left, he turned to look at Yilian, and the gentle smile on his face turned calm again.

"Sorry, this is also my only remaining relative. I really I can't bear to see her suffer any more, so I can only do my best to protect her. "

Without waiting for Ningchen to speak, Yilian took the initiative to explain, her eyes still lingering on the door, her tone was full of guilt and love for her sister,

"I don't really care about these, you have two choices next."

Ningchen's face was calm, and he spoke slowly, neither hurried nor slow,

"First, you and your sister leave here and become my slaves in my house..."

"No need to listen to the second one, just this one."

Yilian After hearing that Ning Chen adopted her and her sister, her eyes immediately lit up, as if she was afraid that Ning Chen would repent, and she agreed immediately after Ning Chen finished speaking.

Ning Chen was not angry at all when he was interrupted.

"Don't worry, it's not too late to make a decision after listening to me."

"First, you help me kill those people who hired you. You don't have to consider the consequences of killing. You just need to prove your value to me!"

"Second, I will deal with them, and you and your sister will continue to live here."

"This is your Two choices, you have ten breaths to consider. "

Ningchen paced slowly in the room, and finally sat down on a bed, quietly waiting for Yilian's choice.

Yilian fell into a dead silence when Ningchen finished talking about the two choices. She was entangled, her fingers were clenched tightly, and even turned pale. She was in a dilemma.

Ningchen looked at Yilian who lowered her head. There was not only calmness in his eyes, but also a hint of teasing.

"How can I guarantee that what you said is true?"

"Do you have room for choice?"
