When Gu Nian woke up again, she found herself on a large tree at the edge of a cliff.
Her head was spinning, and when she opened her eyes, she couldn't tell if it was dawn or dusk.
Looking down at the ethereal mist, she would have thought she had ascended to heaven if it weren't for the restraints still binding her.
She was bound around the waist, and could only see below, not around her. She had no strength to lift her head and look around.
"Hahaha, General Xue, it seems I made the right bet! You really do care about Miss Gu!"
Gu Nian heard the voice that had been speaking in her ear for the past few days.
General Xue? Is that Xue Qianyu?
She wanted to look up, but unfortunately, she really didn't have the strength.
I want to cry, but I don't have any tears left!
"King of Southern Xinjiang?" Xue Qianyu clenched his fists as he looked at Gu Nian, who had fallen from the tree, and turned to look at the masked man below the tree.
"So, General Xue, do you want to spare Second Miss Gu's life? For Second Miss Gu, who is so important to General Xue, I wouldn't mind letting her be buried with our entire Southern Frontier." The masked man neither admitted nor denied his identity, getting straight to the point.
"What are your conditions?" Xue Qianyu asked as he walked forward.
"General Xue, if you move again, I'll cut the ropes binding Miss Gu!" the King of Southern Xinjiang said calmly.
Xue Qianyu stopped and looked at the King of Southern Xinjiang.
"So, young people shouldn't be impulsive. If they act impulsively, they might lose the one they love," the King of Southern Xinjiang said cheerfully.
"Conditions?" Xue Qianyu's voice was already somewhat impatient.
“Young man, don’t rush. Let’s talk slowly. The condition is, of course, that General Xue withdraws his troops. Withdraw to a place where my southern border cannot see him, how about that?” said the King of Southern Border.
"Let Gu Nian speak. As long as I hear her voice and confirm that she is alright, I will listen to you," Xue Qianyu said.
"Great!" The King of Southern Xinjiang raised an eyebrow, picked up a long branch from the ground with a curved hook at the top, which he must have prepared beforehand.
"Gu Nian." Xue Qianyu's voice trembled slightly when he called out Gu Nian's name.
"I..." Gu Nian's throat hurt, and she didn't know how to speak.
"Gu Nian, why aren't you wearing the bracelet I gave you? You still despise me, don't you? Don't you care about me at all? Tell me! Say you have me, say you have me and I'll save you! Otherwise, I won't save you!" Xue Qianyu roared.
Gu Nian: "?"
What's wrong with you? That stupid masked guy couldn't even get the bracelet you gave me off, and you...
Gu Nian's eyes suddenly lit up. A bracelet! Yes, a bracelet.
The masked man was stunned by Xue Qianyu's actions. What kind of man is this? He thinks, "I'll save you if you love me, and I won't save you if you don't. I don't care if you're the one I love or not."
"Gu Nian, look at me! Look at me! You stupid woman, what's wrong with me! The bracelet I gave you cost a lot of gold, is it not as good as the things other people gave you? You heartless stupid woman!" Xue Qianyu continued to roar.
After yelling, he turned to leave.
The masked man was dumbfounded.
What kind of tactic is this? Are they just here to watch people die because they can't have the one they love?
The masked man was somewhat confused by the information he had received.
Is this mutual affection?
"Get out of here! Xue Qianyu, get out of here! I don't need your help!" Gu Nian shouted, trying to sound fierce despite her sore throat.
Xue Qianyu turned around, moved aside, and pointed at Gu Nian: "I'd never save you! You heartless, stupid woman, I must have been blind to even consider you! Get lost! I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
King of Southern Frontier: "!"
