Chapter 171 Men Can’t Be Self-Sentimental
"So that's what you think?" Gu Ji's voice interrupted the tenderness between Qin Xiangjun and Madam Li.
The sunlight grows colder.
The bloody long knife dropped a pool of blood on the ground.
Madam Li's expression changed drastically. "You...what have you been doing?!"
Gu Ji's gaze passed through Madam Li and looked at Qin Xiangjun. Without answering Madam Li, he asked directly, "Do you think that by becoming Qin Xiangjun you can gain your mother's love? Do you think you won't become a pawn?"
Qin Xiangjun's eyes flashed, and she turned her head away, still looking weak.
But Gu Ji could see that she was a little nervous.
"Li Ruyan, I'm just like you. I never received love since childhood. I understand the hatred you felt after nearly dying on the farm. I also understand why you harbored such deep hatred after death. You had no power to resist in life, and only after death could you become a ghost to avenge yourself. But you trapped yourself here forever, and even let yourself be used as a barrier."
Qin Xiangjun, no, it should be Li Ruyan in Qin Xiangjun's body, whose expression changed.
She smiled bitterly, "You don't understand anything. I almost died. When I returned to this family, I thought I could find love. I thought they were waiting for me to come home with great anticipation. I brought glory to the Li family. Why did they treat me like this?"
"No, I know."
Gu Ji extracted a part of his memory, and passed that thread of memory to Li Ruyan.
In just a moment of touch, Li Ruyan felt everything she had experienced in her childhood.
Her face turned pale, and she looked at Gu Ji again, with a hint of pity on her face, "I didn't expect that someone as powerful as you would..."
"So miserable?"
Li Ruyan nodded.
Gu Ji smiled. "It was indeed miserable, but I didn't feel that miserable at the time. I just thought, if I could get out one day, I would definitely send them to prison and I would not let them go. I had thoughts of dying several times, so I understand you, but I was lucky. In the end, I was rescued. I understand your hatred and your anger. I just think, you were used in life, will you be used after death? Come with me, I will take you to reincarnation. Lord Li, Madam Li, your cousin, your brother, King Cheng, and King Cheng's son, they will pay for their sins, but if you stay here forever, they will never have to pay the price for you."
Of course there is a cycle of cause and effect.
If not in this life, there will definitely be in the next life.
The premise is that the person who was hurt also entered the cycle of reincarnation.
But Li Ruyan was trapped here and had no way of entering the cycle of reincarnation. Those people had no karmic consequences, so of course they didn't need to pay anything.
"But how can you guarantee that I will be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation! I have killed people, and I know that ghosts that have killed people are evil ghosts. They cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation and will go to hell!"
She shouted at Gu Ji. She was obviously very angry, but tears could be seen in her eyes.
Is Li Ruyan’s cry really blaming Gu Ji?
no.
She blames herself.
She covered her face, and everything around her froze.
The warm sun could no longer penetrate the window. Her tears became the only sound at this moment. "I envy you so much. If I were really as capable as you, I could have entered through the main gate. I wouldn't have been so intimidated by them from the beginning. I wouldn't have accepted it and died at Cheng Qian's hands in the end. I'm too cowardly. They're right. I'm too cowardly..."
"No, you're just a victim. Even if a victim is imperfect, he's still a victim. Even if a perpetrator is perfect, he's still a perpetrator. This isn't your fault. It's the feudal social system's fault. It's your mother's ignorance. She clearly gave birth prematurely, and her husband's stimulation caused the heavy bleeding, but she blames you. It wasn't your fault from the beginning."
Gu Ji looked into Li Ruyan's eyes, serious yet gentle.
Li Ruyan's tears fell to the ground, and she turned back into the young lady. "You are the first person to say that. They all think I am a coward, incompetent, and it is my fault."
"Well, they were probably just frightened by you. People tend to speak without restraint when they're scared. After all, you're very powerful now. You can even create a barrier to trap us inside. Moreover, this barrier is very real and can even change the speed of time."
Li Ruyan smoothed her hair, feeling somewhat bewildered. "I'm rarely praised. Thank you, you passed. You can take that person with you, but I want to have a few words with him. Is that okay?"
In the blink of an eye, Gu Ji returned to the yard.
Lin Jinque also woke up. He looked a little dazed, and his expression when he looked at Li Ruyan was very complicated, with reluctance and depression of being deceived.
Gu Ji rolled his eyes and walked out the door, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Li Ruyan nodded.
Although the flow of time here is different from that outside, for Lin Jinque, it is a real seven years.
She glanced to the side and saw several monks dressed in servants' clothes looking at Gu Ji expectantly, with desire written all over their faces.
But Gu Ji had no intention of taking them out and had no obligation to do so.
Moreover, it is not convenient to manage more than 20 people now, and there is no guarantee that they will not talk nonsense.
Instead of going out and causing trouble, it is better to let them stay here first. Once the situation here is resolved, they will come out.
Gu Ji's shoulder was patted, "Let's go."
She turned around and saw Lin Jinque back to his usual annoying look, with short hair and a leather jacket.
Li Ruyan nodded at her and said, "Thank you. These people will stay with me for the time being. Once you find the answer to this barrier and the secret of the Nine Hours Rule, they will naturally be released."
Gu Ji took two steps forward, then stopped, turned around, and suddenly ran to Li Ruyan with his arms open.
The girl in front of him was a little surprised.
Her drooping eyebrows were filled with confusion.
Then, Gu Ji hugged her.
The body temperature passed through the clothes and reached Li Ruyan's palm.
Li Ruyan was very small, about 1.5 meters tall, and was only seventeen years old when she died. Nowadays, seventeen is the age to prepare for the college entrance examination.
The hug turned into tears in silence.
The girl cried in Gu Ji's arms. When he let go, she suddenly laughed and said nothing, but Gu Ji knew what she wanted to say.
The two girls nodded to each other.
This time, Gu Ji didn't look back and walked out of the gate with Lin Jinque.
Outside the gate is the Gobi Desert outside Keku.
The sun slowly rises from the other side of the earth.
The purple light fell on the two of them. This time the sun had real warmth.
Gu Ji looked back and saw that the gate had disappeared. There was nothing behind him except the gate of Keku, illuminated by the dawn.
"Thank you for what you did today." Lin Jinque said hoarsely, "Are Sister Shuang and the Director worried about me?"
"Oh, no, Bai Yanshuang said that she could let you out later. It's okay as long as you don't die."
"Impossible!!! Sister Shuang is very worried about me!"
"Men shouldn't be too sentimental, otherwise they'll look greasy."
In the Gobi Desert, Lin Jinque followed Gu Ji and asked him questions all the way.
At the place where the barrier had disappeared, a shadow appeared in the darkness, looking at Gu Ji's back.
