Chapter 15: Master, you must not escape—he must die.
Gu Shanshan's face stiffened, and she awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth. Although she had known for a long time that the antidote would not be so easy to obtain, Gu Shanshan still felt a little guilty and scared when she heard Gong Ye's requirements.
Because nobody knows what kind of bizarre requests this lunatic disciple, Gong Ye, might make.
However, despite her reluctance, Gu Shanshan couldn't let Gong Ling be poisoned to death for the sake of her mission.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "What are the conditions?"
Gong Ye hugged Gu Shanshan tightly, encircling him in his arms and forcing him to face Gong Ling.
He leaned close to Gu Shanshan's ear and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Master, I want you to marry me, to marry me in front of the whole world."
"No way, Gong Ye, you beast! You're betraying your master and ancestors!"
Before Gu Shanshan could speak, Gong Ling retorted with an unpleasant expression.
The person his master loves is him. How could he let the person he loves and the person who loves him submit to the hands of Gong Ye, this murderous maniac, for the sake of his worthless life?
Hearing Gong Ling's objection, Gong Ye snorted coldly.
"Ha, Gong Ling, who do you think you are, to dare to object!"
Having finished speaking, he coldly ordered, "Do not return!"
Upon hearing his master's summons, Mo Gui drew his sword from its sheath, plunged it into Gong Ling's abdomen, and then swiftly pulled it out, flying back into its silver sheath.
"ah......"
Gong Ling screamed and looked up at Gong Ye with resentment.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
Everything happened too fast, almost in a matter of seconds. Gu Shanshan didn't have time to stop it at all, and saw Gong Ling lying on the ground, clutching her wound, after being stabbed in the abdomen.
Seeing the dark red and black blood flowing continuously from the wound on Gong Ling's abdomen, staining Gong Ling's hands red.
Gu Shanshan was extremely anxious, not because he liked Gong Ling, but because he was afraid that if Gong Ling died, his mission would be over.
But no matter how anxious he was, he dared not show it.
He now realized that the more he acted like he cared about something, the more this lunatic Gong Ye would want to destroy it.
Therefore, he could only suppress his anxiety and the urge to break free from Gong Ye's embrace to help Gong Ling bandage her wounds.
Holding Gong Ye's hand, she said, "Gong Ye, don't be angry. Don't take it personally with Gong Ling. You two are brothers in the same sect. Don't make things too ugly. After all, I don't have parents, and neither do you. The only person we have left is Gong Ling. He can be a witness when we get married."
Gu Shanshan used this tactful method to indicate that she agreed to Gong Ye's unreasonable request.
"Master, how could you..."
Gong Ling stared wide-eyed in disbelief upon hearing Gu Shanshan's words.
She angrily tried to stop him, but Gu Shanshan interrupted her sharply.
"Shut up! What business is it of yours to interfere in my affairs!"
Gu Shanshan's cool voice carried the superior tone of a teacher.
He is quite similar to his former master, Gu.
Gong Ling used to be most afraid of Gu Shanshan getting angry. Every time Gu Shanshan acted like this, he dared not say anything more. Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he could only suppress his anger and remain silent.
Throughout the entire process, Gong Ye only looked at Gu Shanshan with a half-smile.
Gu Shanshan felt a chill run down her spine.
He had a bad feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed, that his marriage to Gong Ye was not going to be easy.
"Master, you really agree to marry me, won't you regret it?"
As he asked this question, Gong Ye gently stroked Gu Shanshan's fair cheek.
Those long, strong fingers lightly touched Gu Shanshan's slender neck.
It seemed that if Gu Shanshan dared to go back on her word, that hand would not hesitate to snap her neck.
Gu Shanshan shrank her neck, her back drenched in cold sweat from fright.
In this situation, he wouldn't agree to it.
Whether it was to save Gong Ling or to save his own life.
He nodded eagerly, "Of course it's true, how could your teacher lie to you?"
Upon hearing this, the playful expression on Gong Ye's face vanished, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.
With a chilling voice, he said, "Hmph, Master certainly knows how to talk."
How many times has Gu Shanshan lied to him?
In her past life, she even tricked him out of his life.
Gu Shanshan's credibility with him had long since collapsed.
In this lifetime, he would never again believe a single word uttered from Gu Shanshan's annoying mouth—no, not a single word.
Gong Ye looked at Gong Ling with a gloomy expression and said arrogantly, "Gong Ling, so what if I betrayed my master and ancestors? It's not like I haven't seen how shameless my master was, crying and begging me under me."
Gong Ye's voice was arrogant and ruthless.
Like two slaps, they landed hard on Gu Shanshan and Gong Ling's faces.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan and Gong Ling's expressions changed.
Gong Ling lowered her head in shame and indignation, not daring to look at Gu Shanshan even once.
Because he also wanted a master.
Gu Shanshan felt ashamed and indignant.
After all, being humiliated like this by another disciple in front of one disciple makes him a truly unsuccessful master.
"Gong Ye, I've agreed to everything you asked for. Let's go inside, okay?"
Gu Shanshan suppressed her embarrassment and made a suggestion in a low voice.
"Heh, Master is being so obedient and compliant with me now, isn't it just because he wants to help Gong Ling get the antidote? Just say it directly, why beat around the bush like this?"
Gu Shanshan: "..."
Fine, whatever he says is wrong anyway. No matter what he says, Gong Ye can always find something wrong to refute him.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Shanshan felt a little wronged.
His eyes were downcast, and he looked pitiful.
Gong Ye clearly wanted to get revenge on Gu Shanshan, but seeing Gu Shanshan like this, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
A feeling of pent-up anger, stuck inside, is unbearable.
Why is it that being with him always means compromising, while for that damned Gong Ling, she always makes selfless sacrifices?
Could it be that the person Gu Shanshan loves in both her lives is truly only Gong Ling?
The more Gong Ye thought about it, the angrier he became, and a surge of resentment welled up in his chest.
He roughly pushed Gong Ling aside, took a bottle from his pocket, and threw it at Gu Shanshan.
"Master, here's what you wanted!"
The bottle hit Gu Shanshan. Although she didn't understand why Gong Ye suddenly lost his temper, she quickly caught the bottle and looked at Gong Ye's angry back with a puzzled expression.
"Master, are you alright?" Gong Ling asked Gu Shanshan with concern.
"fine."
Gu Shanshan looked away and opened the bottle in her hand.
There were a few black pills inside, but Gu Shanshan dared not give them to Gong Ling, fearing they might be poison.
Gong Ling's life was closely related to his, so Gu Shanshan barely hesitated before pouring out a pill and putting it directly into her mouth.
"Master, you!"
It was so fast that Gong Ling didn't have time to stop it.
"It's nothing," Gu Shanshan shook her head indifferently.
Anyway, the system said that unless his heart is ripped out or his head is cut off, he won't die at all.
Any poison, once inside his body, will initially leave him half-dead, but over time it will be completely broken down.
This entire scene was witnessed by Gong Ye.
Gong Ye returned, intending to drag Gu Shanshan inside, but ended up witnessing this scene instead.
He said it was the antidote, so why doesn't Gu Shanshan believe him? Why is she unwilling to believe him? Why has she never believed him?
The hatred hidden in my heart runs even deeper.
The hand resting on the door frame unknowingly left deep five-finger marks on it.
Ah, his beloved master, the one he deeply loves is truly Gong Ling!
So, what is he?
Two lifetimes have passed, what is he compared to that!
Gong Ye's dark eyes instantly turned blood red.
With her back to Gong Ye, Gu Shanshan didn't see the terrifying look on his face. She waited anxiously for a while, but felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Gu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this really was the antidote.
"Gong Ling, come on, take your medicine."
Gu Shanshan poured out the pills and handed them to Gong Ling.
Gong Ling looked dejected. He wanted to protect his master, but from beginning to end, only his master was protecting him.
His master risked his life to test medicine for him, and even gave himself to that demon Gong Ye for him.
What else could this be but love?
So why not betray Master's love? In order to be with Master forever, Gong Ye must die!
Thinking of this, Gong Ling frowned, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
He was determined to find an opportunity to kill Gong Ye.
At this moment, Gu Shanshan had no idea what Gong Ling was thinking.
After Gong Ling took the medicine, the dark lines on her face faded considerably, and her heart finally felt at ease.
He handed the bottle to Gong Ling and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
"If you eat it on time every day from now on, you'll get better eventually."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the door of Qingxin Pavilion. It was clearly his territory, but he felt terrified to go in now.
"Master, please don't..."
Gu Shanshan interrupted Gong Ling.
"There's no need to say anything more, Gong Ling. My mind is made up. Find a place to stay nearby, but don't go into Qingxin Pavilion. I'll come out to see you when I have the chance."
Gu Shanshan was genuinely afraid that if Gong Ye saw Gong Ling, he might get angry and slash her with his sword again, killing Gong Ling.
Gong Ye, that little wolfhound, is so fierce that even he doesn't dare to mess with him.
Now his territory has been taken over by the little wolfhound, and his sword has been taken too.
No matter how unwilling they were, they could only obediently comply.
After saying that, Gu Shanshan patted Gong Ling on the shoulder and turned to enter Qingxin Pavilion.
The moment Gu Shanshan stepped inside, the door of Qingxin Pavilion slammed shut with a loud bang.
As soon as Gu Shanshan entered, she saw a man who had been tortured beyond recognition lying on the ground, with fresh whip marks on his body.
Seeing that face that resembled her own, Gu Shanshan guessed that this person must be the substitute that Xiao Ling had mentioned.
Looking at the broken legs, the skin covered in wounds, and the stench of a rotting corpse, I could see...
Gu Shanshan was so frightened that her legs went weak.
That little wolfhound, he's really ruthless.
Just as Gu Shanshan was terrified and covered in cold sweat, Gong Ye's chilling voice came from inside the house.
Every word was like a knife stabbing into Gu Shanshan's heart.
Gong Ye said, "Master, do you see? This is what will happen to you next."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Ye appeared at the doorway.
He held the blood-stained Mo Gui sword in his hand, his expression indescribably gloomy.
"Master, are you ready? Would you prefer to break my legs first, or my hands first, or both at the same time?"
Gu Shanshan trembled with fear and stammered, "Can't...can't I choose any of them?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Ye revealed a chilling expression, "Disciple understands, I'll break Master's legs right now..."
