Chapter 14: Master, you mustn't escape—you mustn't touch him!
Just as Gong Ye was filled with doubt, that familiar voice came from outside again.
"Gong Ye, you traitorous disciple, get out here right now!"
That little bastard! He went to such lengths to appease Gong Ye and let him do such outrageous things, all just to make Gong Ye happy and let him spare Gong Ling's life.
I never expected that little rascal to play tricks on me. He promised to let me go on the surface, but he still dared to kill me in secret.
If he hadn't been captured by Xiao Ling and hadn't accidentally fallen off the cliff, he wouldn't have met Gong Ling, who was on the verge of death from poisoning.
They wouldn't have realized that their mission was almost ruined by that scoundrel and traitor, Gong Ye.
This time, Gu Shanshan was truly angry.
He had diligently completed so many world-traveling missions, but he almost failed in this one, causing all his previous efforts to be in vain.
Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone a vengeful man struggling to survive on a tightrope.
After Gu Shanshan finished her scathing and arrogant speech, Gong Ling clutched her chest, coughed, and spoke with concern.
"Cough cough cough... Master, please don't offend Gong Ye for my sake. Gong Ye's current cultivation level... is beyond your ability to handle."
Although he didn't want to admit it, he could clearly feel that Gong Ye's cultivation level had risen abnormally during his fight with Gong Ye.
In the current cultivation world, even those old guys in the upper cultivation world are no match for Gong Ye.
Although his master sought justice for him and risked his life to find Gong Ye to save him, he was deeply moved.
He couldn't help but have some inappropriate thoughts in his heart. He wondered if his master, as Gong Ye had said, actually had feelings for him too.
She liked him, which is why she was always so good to him, and was even willing to submit to that devil Gong Ye in order to save his life.
Realizing this possibility, Gong Ling's heart surged with intense emotion.
Looking into Gu Shanshan's eyes, he felt a deep and passionate love.
If he manages to survive this time, he will definitely take his master with him, and the two of them will live together in anonymity forever.
Gong Ling had very high hopes.
But the person he was about to face was Gong Ye, and he didn't think he had much of a chance of winning.
Even with his master's cultivation combined, he was no match for Gong Ye, and he didn't want Gu Shanshan to lose her life because of it.
Gong Ye has gone mad for some reason; he's now a rabid dog ready to bite at any moment.
What method could he devise that would allow him to obtain the antidote while also ensuring his safety and that of his master?
Gong Ling fell into deep thought.
Gu Shanshan was unaware of Gong Ling's thoughts at that moment, and unaware of Gong Ye's unfounded assumption that he liked him.
Despite calling out several times, the door to Qingxin Pavilion remained tightly shut, and there was no response. Gu Shanshan was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
According to the system's settings, Qingxin Pavilion should have been his pavilion, but now it was restricted by Gong Ye. As a useless person with no cultivation, he was unable to break the restriction and enter.
All I could do was stand outside the door and shout like an idiot.
The more she shouted, the more Gu Shanshan felt as if her den had been invaded by a vicious wolf.
As for that vicious wolf, Gong Ye, not only did he take over his den, but he also wanted to eat him.
"What a beast," Gu Shanshan cursed inwardly.
"You traitor, come out here!"
The voice, which should have been cool and aloof, now carried an undisguised exasperation.
The voice reached Gong Ye's ears and was very pleasant to hear.
In this world, since his rebirth, he has brought with him the cultivation of two lifetimes, and no one in this world can be his match anymore.
At that moment, someone yelled at him and even cursed at him.
Given his volatile temper, it was perfectly reasonable for him to kill the people outside.
He could hear that familiar voice, clearly cursing him, but at that moment it sounded like heavenly music to his ears.
It sounds beautiful.
Even his heart, which had been dormant for many days, began to pound uncontrollably at the mere sound of that voice.
"Master..."
Gong Ye's deep eyes held a hint of confusion as he murmured something.
After reading it, Gong Ye's sharp eyes immediately swept over Gu Shanshan, who was locked in a cage and had been tormented to the point of near death by him.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
If the person outside is his master, then who is inside this room?
In an instant, Gong Ye felt a surge of anger and rage at being played, so angry that he wanted to slap the disgusting piece of trash in front of him to death.
"Gong Ye, come out!"
Gu Shanshan's weak voice came from outside the door again.
Gu Shanshan had been shouting for so long that his throat was dry, and the strong stench of blood and decay around him made it hard for him to breathe.
"Master, Gong Ye might not be here."
Gong Ling coughed as she tried to comfort her.
"No!" Gu Shanshan shook her head firmly.
"Gong Ling, don't worry, Gong Ye is definitely inside."
Gu Shanshan wasn't blindly confident; in order to find Gong Ye as soon as possible, he quickly consulted the system.
Gong Ye is inside; if he's not, he's a dog.
Gu Shanshan had just finished complaining in her mind when, with a bang, the door of Qingxin Pavilion was reopened from the inside.
Gong Ye appeared at the door, dressed in a dark black outfit, his gaze fixed on Gu Shanshan.
His eyes held the gaze of a wolf eyeing prey, as if he were about to pounce and devour him at any moment.
Gu Shanshan, who was originally very arrogant, swallowed hard when she met Gong Ye's gaze.
I chickened out.
She quickly took two steps back and bumped into Gong Ling behind her.
"Master, be careful..." Gong Ling hurriedly reached out, trying to support Gu Shanshan's body.
The moment the hand covered in black veins touched Gu Shanshan's wrist, a black afterimage flashed like a knife.
Gong Ling instinctively withdrew her hand.
Tear it apart!
The clothes that Gong Ling's hand touched were instantly torn apart by the whip.
Although Gong Ling retreated immediately, her body, on the verge of death, was not as fast as before, and her movements were much slower. She was swept by the sharp whip tail, which struck her body, knocking her to the ground where she coughed violently.
The white fabric fluttered to the ground. Gu Shanshan took two steps back, instinctively keeping her distance from Gong Ling out of fear.
She glared angrily at Gong Ye, "What are you doing!"
If Gong Ling hadn't pulled her hand back just now, it would have been chopped off by now.
He knew how possessive Gong Ye was of him, even though he was worried about Gong Ling and wanted to help her up.
He didn't dare.
The closer he got to Gong Ling, and the more intimate he acted with her, the angrier Gong Ye became, and the greater the chance of Gong Ling's death.
His vibrant appearance, and the moment I saw him, my long-dormant heart began to pound.
Everything was clearly telling Gong Ye.
That's right, it's him, it's him!
The thought of reporting back to an imposter made Gong Ye feel nauseous.
Fortunately, he couldn't bring himself to touch the trash inside.
"Heh, what are you doing?"
Gong Ye curled his lips coldly, not answering Gu Shanshan's question, and his warning and threatening gaze fell on Gong Ling on the ground.
He spoke each word clearly, "Gong Ling, I warned you long ago, you are not allowed to touch him!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan's heart skipped a beat.
He muttered to himself how many times he had bumped into him on the way here, wondering if he should cut off his hand.
Of course, Gu Shanshan didn't dare say these words to Gong Ye, whose face was dark with anger.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Besides, he also demanded that Gong Ye give Gong Ling the antidote to save her life.
Gong Ling gritted his teeth. He didn't want to die. No matter how resentful he was, he could only swallow his anger.
When they arrived, Gu Shanshan had already given Gong Ling a heads-up, telling him that no matter what crazy things Gong Ye did, he couldn't argue with him.
Gong Ling always listened to Gu Shanshan, so she simply lowered her head and remained silent.
Gong Ye had no interest in Gong Ling either. After making his threat, he fixed his gaze on Gu Shanshan once again.
Take a few steps forward.
With a swift and forceful scoop, he pulled the person into his arms.
The strength with which it restrains people is astonishing.
"Master, you've deceived me so badly!"
Gong Ye's voice was chilling, sending shivers down Gu Shanshan's spine.
She timidly said, "I didn't lie to you about anything."
Why can't he understand what Gong Ye is saying?
"Oh."
Gong Ye sneered, "Master, you are truly composed."
They've already placed a stand-in next to him, yet they still claim they weren't lying to him.
Master is a little liar!
Gong Ye's expression was very strange. Gu Shanshan remembered Xiao Ling's words and hurriedly asked.
"Gong Ye, you don't actually have someone who looks exactly like me by your side, do you?"
"Didn't you do it? You didn't know?"
Gong Ye stared dangerously at Gu Shanshan's face, not missing a single expression.
However, no signs of lying were found.
Having spent two lifetimes together, Gong Ye knew Gu Shanshan's personality very well. His master was a proud and aloof person who would never stoop to lying.
Aside from... how he was treated.
His beloved master gave all his kindness and love to others, leaving his disciple with only endless torment.
The thought that both lifetimes had been like this caused Gong Ye's pent-up anger to erupt once again.
He threatened fiercely, "Master, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll immediately cut off Gong Ling's hands and feet, cut off his ears and nose, and turn Gong Ling into a human pig!"
"I can explain anything, I can explain anything!"
Gu Shanshan said urgently, "Gong Ye, don't be impulsive. Tell me what you're wondering and I'll explain. Don't kill anyone."
Honestly, they're always threatening to fight and kill; it's really a headache.
"Why did you bring him here?"
Gong Ye's gaze fell on Gong Ling, who was lying on the ground.
Seeing that black veins covered Gong Ling's body, extending to most of her cheeks.
In a very good mood, he said, "Tsk, you actually survived for so long, Gong Ling, you're really lucky."
The sarcasm in her tone made Gong Ling's face turn very ugly.
Gu Shanshan was afraid that Gong Ling might say something that would anger Gong Ye, so she quickly winked at Gong Ling, signaling him not to say anything out of line.
Gong Ling could only swallow her anger and pretend she hadn't heard anything.
Gu Shanshan looked at Gong Ye awkwardly, "Gong Ye, could you give the antidote to Gong Ling?"
"Can."
Gong Ye readily agreed, and with a wicked smile, he lifted Gu Shanshan's chin, "However, Master, you have to grant me one request."
