"Xi'er is willing to be your wife."

Within the Spring of Reincarnation, Qiao Xi'er spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

Gu Jian looked up and saw the tenderness in Qiao Xi'er's eyes. He then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Xi'er. In this life, I will never love anyone again."

"I'm tired, so don't waste your time on me."

"..."

Seeing Gu Jian's appearance, Qiao Xi'er cried sadly.

In the Valley of Reincarnation, Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan wept bitterly.

Su Mengyao turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

After Qiao Xier said those words, she thought Gu Jian would agree.

After all, Qiao Xi'er was no less beautiful or talented than her.

However, he did not.

Su Mengyao thought that Gu Jian had fallen in love with someone else, which is why she readily agreed to annul the engagement.

But it turned out that wasn't the case.

He really did it for her.

So as not to be a burden to her.

But she clearly no longer loves him.

He knew it all along, but he still cared about her.

He loved her so deeply.

But after she had squeezed all the value out of him, she ruthlessly abandoned him.

In comparison, she is nothing more than a selfish and self-serving clown.

Even the soul is ugly and despicable.

Su Mengyao then understood why Gu Jian was so cold in this life.

They would treat themselves so harshly.

She also took away the Starry Sky Stone that he had once given her.

So, she really was that annoying.

Perhaps in his past life, from the moment she broke off the engagement, he had already given up hope.

In this life, he will never love her again.

When love fades, he will no longer indulge her as before.

When love fades, she becomes nothing more than an ordinary stranger to him.

She had no right to be willful in front of him, nor did she have the right to throw a tantrum in front of him.

Simply because she had no connection with him whatsoever.

In his past life, he loved her and was willing to accept everything about her.

Even if she cries herself blind in this life, he will never love her again.

Be aware of this.

Su Mengyao felt pain and her heart ached.

It was she who pushed the person who loved her most away into the distance.

Perhaps in the future, they will be like strangers.

She and he will never have any interaction.

Su Mengyao broke down.

She burst into tears, and even more tears streamed down her dreamlike, ethereal face.

The ripples of the Fountain of Reincarnation continue to spread.

The scene continues to change.

Time passed unnoticed within the Spring of Reincarnation.

With her blurry vision, Su Mengyao saw a square with a large crowd gathered there.

A young and handsome man knelt in the center of the square.

Through her tear-blurred vision, Su Mengyao looked up and saw that the person kneeling was Gu Jian!

Tens of thousands of people from the Misty Sect surrounding the square were criticizing Gu Jian.

They accused Gu Jian of colluding with demons and harming his fellow disciples.

The curses and swears blended together.

Su Mengyao's heart tightened.

She realized that this was the scene Liu Ruyan had told her about in her past life when Gu Jian was about to be killed.

While feeling heartbroken, Su Mengyao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then searched with her eyes.

She searched for her own reflection in the Fountain of Reincarnation.

She remembered, Ai Youwei said.

She was there at the time, but she didn't come out to say a word for Gu Jian.

Su Mengyao didn't believe it.

She felt that no matter how ruthless or indifferent she was, she would never watch her former fiancé suffer such slander and accusations.

She will definitely stand up.

At this moment, Su Mengyao was like a drowning person desperately trying to grab onto a straw.

Even if it's completely useless.

Su Mengyao also longed to see herself stand up and defend Gu Jian.

It would make her feel that her tainted soul could become cleaner.

In this way, one can find a sliver of salvation from the abyss of despair.

A moment later, Su Mengyao finally found herself.

She was drinking tea in a pavilion not far from the square, with Ye Chen sitting opposite her.

Even though her former fiancé was about to be executed, she showed no sign of standing up.

He even chatted and laughed with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chatted with Su Mengyao, being extremely attentive, but his gaze towards Gu Jian was filled with mockery.

Gu Jian witnessed all of this from the square.

As his master, Ye Qingcheng, coldly issued the order, a self-mocking expression appeared on his grief-stricken and unwilling face.

"If there is an afterlife, I will never love anyone again."

The sound was very soft, but to Su Mengyao in the Valley of Reincarnation, it was like thunder.

Her delicate body trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face.

Su Mengyao naturally recognized who Gu Jian was referring to.

It's her!

In this setting, at this moment.

He was still thinking of her, which is why he said those words.

Su Mengyao thought to herself how disappointed, even desperate, Gu Jian must have been with her back then.

In the Spring of Reincarnation, the butcher's knife slowly fell.

Su Mengyao screamed in terror.

"No...no...ah!"

Blood and tears fell together.

The scene depicted blood splattered on the Spring of Reincarnation, while tears fell upon Su Mengyao.

The images within the Fountain of Reincarnation shattered.

Su Mengyao knelt down in agony, her body trembling.

She watched as the person who loved her deeply died.

That despair and pain almost broke her.

She really didn't stand up.

Even at that time, she was having tea with the person who killed Gu Jian.

At this moment, Su Mengyao's soul felt as if it had fallen into an abyss of despair, into the deepest hell.
