FYN Chapter 77 She just wanted to keep him here, nothing more.
Chapter 77 She just wanted to keep him here, nothing more.
Gu Yunshu had far too many questions in her mind.
But in the end, she suppressed all these questions in her heart and tried her best not to think about them.
"Don't speak, focus on healing." Gu Yunshu's voice was as steady as usual, without any change.
She did not answer Cheng Xiao's question.
Neither agreeing nor refuting, the two remained tacitly silent.
Gu Yunshu once again activated her spiritual power, guiding the medicinal properties to penetrate into his severed meridians.
Time passed little by little.
The mist over the frozen pool gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again.
Cheng Xiao's breathing finally calmed down. His ribs were set, his meridians were restored, and the wounds on his body had scabbed over.
Although he is not fully recovered, his life has been saved.
It's just a matter of time.
Gu Yunshu withdrew her hand. She didn't stand up immediately, but just sat down next to him, her chest suddenly churning.
She turned her head away and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was bright red, mixed together with the blood scattered on the ground, indistinguishable from each other.
She used up too much spiritual energy while healing Cheng Xiao.
She helped Cheng Xiao absorb all the medicinal power of the Snow Soul Essence Pill; she was the one guiding him throughout.
It took her a lot of energy to pull someone back from the brink of death.
And most importantly...
The matter of the arranged marriage has been weighing on my mind these past few days, causing me great distress.
Several things combined finally disrupted her internal energy, making it impossible for her to hold on any longer.
When Cheng Xiao saw Gu Yunshu's condition, he felt that it was somewhat familiar.
His master seemed to be in the same state before he was consumed by his inner demons.
My personal favorability hasn't increased at all; I hope the female lead doesn't die so easily.
He reminded you, "Strengthen your resolve, and from now on, no one will force you into a marriage alliance."
The path of spiritual practice is nothing more than two paths: seeking externally and seeking internally.
Cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness is a typical example of seeking enlightenment within oneself.
Continuously temper your Dao heart, stabilize it, and remain undisturbed by worldly affairs.
Gu Yunshu's Dao heart was in turmoil.
It was probably because of the marriage alliance, or it could be because of something within the Supreme Daoist sect.
Perhaps Gu Yunshu also realized that things within the sect were not as simple as she had imagined.
She clearly only wanted to live a secluded life and focus on cultivation, but now that she's in charge of the Zuowang Snow Pavilion, she has too many things beyond her control.
Faced with concern, Gu Yunshu remained silent. She simply wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and pretended that nothing had happened.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of communicating, Cheng Xiao stopped talking.
You can't rush someone like Gu Yunshu.
He just needed to say what he needed to say, and then he could leave the rest for her to figure out on her own. She would gradually understand.
Cheng Xiao lay down on the ground, completely relaxed, closed his eyes, and gave up all resistance.
Although he was physically strong, the wounds on his body were real, and he had inflicted them himself without holding back at all.
There aren't many people in this world who can truly hurt him, but he himself is one of them.
After a night of commotion, he was exhausted, so he lay down on the ground without moving, breathing evenly, as if he were asleep.
Cheng Xiao felt he had done everything he could, and all that was left was to wait.
Waiting for Gu Yunshu's choice.
He didn't believe that this saint could remain completely unmoved.
Gu Yunshu now has two choices.
First, throw him out and hand him over to the sect and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, saying that he was the one who did it, that it had nothing to do with the Supreme Dao Sect, that the Demonic Sect wanted to sow discord between the two sects, and that he was a spy for the Demonic Sect.
Otherwise, once the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion discover that the entire marriage alliance they sent had been wiped out by the Supreme Dao Sect, even if they weren't killed within the sect itself, they will definitely want to come and demand an explanation.
Without a marriage alliance, it would be good enough if the two sides didn't become enemies, let alone cooperate.
By handing him over, Gu Yunshu could avoid a marriage alliance and still give an explanation to the sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, which was the best solution.
If Gu Yunshu really did that, then he couldn't continue lying here waiting to die; he would have to think of another way.
However, there is a second option.
That means leaving him here, hiding him, and giving him some protection for a period of time.
Regardless of Gu Yunshu's reasons for keeping him, it was all out of personal motives.
Gu Yunshu sat next to him for a long time.
It seemed as if he was observing Cheng Xiao's injuries, or perhaps he was pondering something.
In fact, she herself didn't know what she was thinking.
Since becoming the head of the Zuowangxue Pavilion, she has found that her Dao heart is becoming increasingly unstable.
This place is really not suitable for someone like her to cultivate.
Although the path of ruthlessness allows for extremely rapid cultivation, it is also the easiest path to be affected by inner demons when breaking through realms.
Gu Yunshu suddenly felt that it was very quiet here, as if it had never been so quiet before.
A sound came from the icy pool, as if something was slowly melting.
Gu Yunshu turned her head and looked at Cheng Xiao's face.
There was a wound on his face that ran from his brow bone to his cheekbone. Although it had scabbed over, his face was still very pale due to excessive blood loss.
When he was asleep, his face was expressionless, just calm.
Gu Yunshu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
She suddenly realized that this tranquility was somewhat similar to the reflection of herself she usually saw in the icy pool.
But they are only similar.
Gu Yunshu recalled the first time she saw him, and his eyes.
There was no emotion in those eyes, nothing but calmness.
She resembles her, yet she is also different.
Her calmness came from suppressing everything beneath the ice, and she herself couldn't explain what lay beneath it.
That's why the Daoist mind is unstable.
But Cheng Xiao's calmness meant that there was truly nothing there.
Even below the ice surface, it's hollow.
Cheng Xiao's identity is too complicated. He is a death servant controlled by the Bliss Sect since childhood, an undercover agent infiltrating the Supreme Dao Sect, and also someone who wants to repay her kindness...
Various complex components are intertwined.
Gu Yunshu had no idea what he was thinking.
Although she didn't understand, she realized she wanted to keep this person with her.
There wasn't any particular reason, such as him helping her or seeking revenge on the sect for what they owed her.
It was simply because she wanted to keep him here.
When this thought arose, the spiritual energy within Gu Yunshu's body was momentarily disrupted.
Her Dao heart was warning her that the foundation of the ruthless Dao was shaking, and she should immediately throw this man out, then go into seclusion for three hundred years to sever all these messy things.
But looking at the scar on his face and his peaceful sleeping posture, she suddenly felt that if she threw him out now, he would probably really die.
"have a good rest."
Gu Yunshu spoke softly, as if she were talking to herself.
She stood up, walked to the door, and closed it again after he had forced it open.
Then she turned back, sat down next to Cheng Xiao, and closed her eyes again.
She didn't leave; she left him behind.
This room is located in the deepest part of the Zuowang Xuege Pavilion, a cultivation place exclusively for the Holy Maiden. Only a handful of people in the entire Taishang Dao Sect can enter this place.
Now there's one more.
Gu Yunshu closed her eyes and adjusted her internal energy.
Cheng Xiao was not asleep; he remained awake, only his eyes were closed and his breathing was steady.
After Gu Yunshu entered a meditative state, Cheng Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the top of her head.
The selfishness value on it actually moved!
It changed from 0 to 1.
