Cheng Huaijin sighed and said softly, "Gu Yingxue, you are not at fault. You did not kill Xiaoyu. It was Peng Mu, Langgeguo, and Yunna. I have already killed them. You saw it with your own eyes while holding Xiaoyu."
"Gu Yingxue, I don't need your life. Your life is precious; it was protected by my sister at the cost of her life. If you can hear me, please wake up!"
Gu Yingxue didn't make a sound.
After sitting for a while, Cheng Huaijin suddenly felt someone behind him. He turned around abruptly and saw that it was Gu Xin. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xin's gaze swept over Cheng Huaijin's hands.
Cheng Huaijin calmly said, "She's having a nightmare and she's clinging to me."
Gu Xin stepped forward and said with a smile, "You look a lot like Xiao Yu. You share the same bloodline. Maybe Xue'er mistook you for Xiao Yu."
Cheng Huaijin raised an eyebrow and smiled.
He gently pried Gu Yingxue's hand away and stood up.
Gu Xin stepped forward to take Gu Yingxue's pulse. After taking it, she sighed, "There's still no change. I hope Xue'er can get better soon."
Cheng Huaijin glanced at Gu Yingxue's pale face but said nothing.
Gu Xin stood up and said, "Brother, I thought you still didn't want to talk to Xue'er like before!"
Cheng Huaijin gave a bitter smile: "It's not that I don't want to talk to her, it's that seeing her reminds me of Xiaoyu. Although those who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be punished are being punished, I still feel uncomfortable."
Gu Xin thought of Cheng Huaiyu, and felt a little depressed.
Cheng Huaijin added, "She is the person Xiaoyu would risk her life to protect, so naturally I want the best for her."
"By the way, have you made up your mind?" The atmosphere was a bit heavy, so Cheng Huaijin changed the subject, "When are you going to find Brother Yuan?"
“Let’s wait a few days. Xue’er’s condition isn’t good right now, and I’m afraid she might have a problem after I leave,” Gu Xin said. “We’ve tried all sorts of medicine, but she still hasn’t woken up, and I’m really worried. Also, her wounds, although we’ve changed the dressings, I just can’t rest easy without watching over them.”
"How about I go instead? Perfect timing! I can tell Brother Yuan who's after you, and then I can complain that you risked your life to save his underestimating enemy!" Cheng Huaijin joked.
"What love rival? Brother, who told you this?" Gu Xin was stunned, her eyes widening. Her brother had actually listened to gossip.
"The soldiers of the Great Zhou are all saying that Miss Gu is deeply affectionate, and General Chi's devotion to her back then was well worth it!" Cheng Huaijin said with a smile.
"Don't make it sound so serious to Brother Yuan, he'll get jealous. He cares about me a lot and is very possessive," Gu Xin said seriously.
"So you know that and you still don't care about yourself?" Cheng Huaijin rolled her eyes at her.
"I was confident, wasn't I? Let me tell you, you saw it that day, right? Agil was so angry with me that he vomited blood. If I had come to the West a few years earlier, Agil would probably have been driven to his death by me!" Gu Xin said with a smile.
Cheng Huaijin shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, go and rest! Xue'er is being taken care of here," Gu Xin said with a smile.
"Let's go." Cheng Huaijin glanced at Gu Yingxue again, then turned and left. "It's already the sixth day of the first lunar month! I remember you told me that you and Brother Yuan were born on the same day, and you missed your coming-of-age ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony. You can't miss them again this year!"
“Starting from here, it will take four days to go through Fog Cloud City to find Brother Yuanyuan and the others. I’m thinking of leaving in October, so I can make it in time,” Gu Xin said.
