Gu Qingxue’s aura did not seem to have gone far.
Qin Yuan immediately rushed out to check. Sure enough, he discovered Gu Qingxue standing at the edge of the Cliff of Contemplation. Within the fierce gale, she looked like a fragile blade of grass that could be swallowed at any moment, appearing especially tragic and beautiful.
“Are you crazy? I told you to go down the mountain. Down the mountain. Don’t you understand? The outside is full of gale winds. If you stay out here, you’ll die!”
The Cliff of Contemplation was the place where disciples who had committed mistakes were exiled. Naturally, it was not a pleasant place.
Above the cliff raged endless gale winds, the nightmare of every punished disciple.
Even cultivators of the 1st stage Golden Core Realm could not endure them for long.
Only by staying inside the cave could the pressure be somewhat relieved.
“Brother Qin Yuan… you really came out.”
Looking at Qin Yuan’s furious expression, Gu Qingxue showed only a relieved smile.
Sure enough, Qin Yuan still cared about her.
“Gu Qingxue, do you not understand human language? I told you to get lost. To get lost down the mountain. Do you think hurting yourself here will make me feel sorry for you? Dream on!”
Qin Yuan widened his eyes and roared.
“I am also a sinner now and must undergo three months of Wall Reflection at the Cliff of Contemplation. Since Brother Qin Yuan is unwilling to stay with me, then I can only remain outside.”
Blood had already begun to appear at the corner of Gu Qingxue’s mouth, yet her tone remained firm.
“…”
Qin Yuan felt somewhat troubled, worried that Gu Qingxue might die outside.
But after another thought, she was the first female lead after all. Her fate was incredibly tough.
Why worry?
Besides, if she stayed outside in the gale winds, she would most likely get injured.
Once injured, she would have to go down the mountain for treatment.
If she went down the mountain, then the plotline could begin.
Perfect.
“Fine! You’re impressive. I surrender. If you want to stay here, then stay. If you die, it has nothing to do with me.”
Qin Yuan waved his hand and immediately turned back into the cave without hesitation.
“Brother Qin Yuan… I will not leave you alone. I will stay with you forever.”
Seeing Qin Yuan turn away, Gu Qingxue felt no disappointment at all.
The fact that Qin Yuan had come out just now already proved everything.
Qin Yuan still cared about her.
Now that he had gone back inside, he was merely speaking in anger.
Once she truly became injured, Qin Yuan would definitely come out again.
At that time, she would cling to him without letting go and accompany him step by step, forcibly bringing Brother Qin Yuan down from the Cliff of Contemplation. That way Su Fan would no longer have any chance to slander Qin Yuan. This story is hosted at NovelPing.
The gale winds on the Cliff of Contemplation were extremely violent. Even though Gu Qingxue’s talent was exceptional, she could only endure for about fifteen minutes before her face turned pale and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
“Almost. Almost.”
Qin Yuan hid inside the cave and continued watching. Seeing that this woman was finally about to reach her limit, his mood improved.
Gu Qingxue’s thoughts were the same.
As long as she became seriously injured and fainted, she could see Qin Yuan again.
Let the storm become even fiercer.
At that moment, a figure rushed rapidly from the distance.
“Su Fan? Why did that guy come up here?”
Qin Yuan recognized the person at once and quietly remained inside the cave to observe.
“Su Fan!”
When Gu Qingxue saw Su Fan, the killing intent in her eyes pierced through the biting gale winds.
“Senior Sister… why are you standing here? The gale winds will take your life.”
The moment Su Fan saw Gu Qingxue, his heart ached.
Under the devastation of the gale winds, Gu Qingxue’s aura had already weakened, her body soaked with bloodstains, and her face pale as paper.
“Where I am has nothing to do with you.”
“How could it not? You are my Senior Sister.”
Su Fan spoke emotionally. Ever since Gu Qingxue went up the mountain, he had been uneasy, worried that something might happen between her and Qin Yuan. That was why he secretly followed her.
The result left him both happy and worried.
Senior Sister had not reunited with Qin Yuan, yet she had harmed herself to such an extent.
“Senior Sister, come over here quickly. If this continues, you will lose your life.”
“Get lost.”
The only response he received was that cold and heartless word.
Pain stabbed through Su Fan’s heart as he roared loudly, “Senior Sister!”
“I will say it one last time. Get lost immediately.”
Gu Qingxue’s aura was weak, but her voice was icy.
Qin Yuan already suspected that she and Su Fan were acting together. If Su Fan appeared like this, would that not confirm Qin Yuan’s suspicion even more?
She absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.
“Senior Sister, I will not leave.”
Su Fan shook his head firmly and spoke with complete sincerity.
“Senior Sister… I know you have some misunderstandings about me. That’s fine. I will explain everything slowly. Right now I only hope you can calm down and stop hurting yourself because of me. Do you know how much it pains me to see you like this?”
“You truly… want me to go back?”
After a moment of silence, Gu Qingxue suddenly changed the topic.
“Of course. Seeing you harm yourself like this truly breaks my heart. Senior Sister, I know you misunderstand me. Even if you beat or scold me, I would accept it willingly. But please do not joke with your own life.” Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
Su Fan spoke with deep emotion and sincere feelings. Even the coldest-hearted person might have been moved.
But at this moment, Gu Qingxue’s heart contained only killing intent.
It was precisely this sorrowful mask that had deceived everyone, causing Brother Qin Yuan to be framed, misunderstood, and turned into the target of public condemnation.
She truly wanted to tear him to pieces.
Gu Qingxue let out a soft laugh.
“Very well… come here.”
“What?”
Su Fan was stunned.
“I am… very weak right now. I cannot walk.”
“Alright, Senior Sister.”
Su Fan was immediately overjoyed. He knew that no one could resist his tenderness.
Even if Gu Qingxue knew the truth, as long as he continued to treat her with gentleness and sincerity, she would eventually choose to believe him.
This method had never failed him.
“Be careful. This woman holds extremely strong killing intent toward you.”
Within Su Fan’s mind, the heavenly voice of Feiyan appeared.
“It’s alright, Master. Senior Sister will not attack me.”
Su Fan responded confidently. He believed in his own charm and the virtuous image he had always maintained.
No one could resist his sincere emotions.
“I’m coming, Senior Sister!”
With a bright and pure smile, Su Fan rushed toward Gu Qingxue. When he was about three meters away, a sword suddenly appeared in Gu Qingxue’s hand and stabbed directly toward Su Fan’s chest without hesitation.
The distance was too close. Caught completely off guard, Su Fan was pierced straight through the chest by the sword.
“Uh…”
Su Fan stiffly lowered his head to look at the wound in his chest, then struggled to look at Gu Qingxue.
“Senior Sister… you…”
Gu Qingxue gripped the sword hilt and coldly pushed the blade deeper.
“Pff…”
Su Fan rapidly retreated about three meters and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing onto the ground. He gasped heavily, his face filled with disbelief.
“Senior Sister… you… why… why…”
“Why? You know the reason in your heart.”
Gu Qingxue’s eyes radiated chilling coldness.
“Originally… I planned to let you live a little longer. But since you don’t know what’s good for you… then this works perfectly. Use your life… to repay the sins you committed against Brother Qin Yuan.”
