Fang Xie slowly sat up and raised his deep, pool - like eyes to look at Su Xiaoliu. He said calmly, "Does Gu Rongxue like you?"
Su Xiaoliu was stunned. She didn't react for a long time. Looking at that extremely beautiful face, she pursed her lips. Hearing this sentence from his mouth now, she felt at a loss.
After a moment, she replied, "He's kind to everyone, and I'm no exception."
This answer made Fang Xie fall into silence for a while. After a while, he looked at her quietly and asked, "Why do you think I'm Gu Rongxue?"
Now it was Su Xiaoliu's turn to be speechless. Looking at him, she thought, he is clearly Gu Rongxue. Is there a need for a reason to recognize him?
"Do you remember what happened before?" Su Xiaoliu looked at him and counter - asked.
Fang Xie frowned slightly. His deep, pool - like eyes stared at her quietly. After a long time, he slowly said, "I used to work for the imperial court. Later, I failed to dispatch troops in time and made a mistake, so I was demoted and exiled to the border."
The border?
Su Xiaoliu lowered her head and thought for a while. Suddenly, a scene of a vast yellow - sand desert flashed through her mind. She looked up at him and asked, "How did you know about the decline of the Gu family?"
He had forgotten what happened before, and surely someone was secretly masterminding all this.
Fang Xie lowered his head. His ink - black hair like flowing water slipped through his fingers. After a while, he slowly looked at Su Xiaoliu and said, "I was unconscious at the border. Someone saved me and told me everything that had happened to the Gu family."
Sure enough, someone was manipulating all this!
Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips and asked, "Who is that person?"
The mystery seemed to be almost solved, but suddenly there was a mastermind behind the scenes. Could this person be related to the Rebirth Fruit incident that happened before? Otherwise, why would he save Gu Rongxue...
The doubts in her head were so numerous that her head ached. Su Xiaoliu closed her eyes and only heard Fang Xie slowly say, "I made an agreement with this person. He will help me revive the Gu family. All I need to do is kill all those who have ever harmed the Gu family."
Kill them all?
Su Xiaoliu widened her almond - shaped eyes and bit her lips.
Did it mean that Wan Ku Valley and Tianci Cult were also included?
Since this mastermind said so, he must want to use Gu Rongxue to get rid of those he wanted to eliminate. Then who exactly did this person want to eliminate?
Moreover, this mastermind must not be the Alliance Leader. If not the Alliance Leader, he must be a person with great influence. Who could this person be?
No, she couldn't let Gu Rongxue be used like this any longer. He had completely changed. He was no longer the former Gu Rongxue who was calm and warm - hearted. He was gradually becoming a cold - blooded killer, and his thoughts had been completely controlled by others.
"You are Gu Rongxue. You are not Fang Xie. Everything that person said is false. He just wants to use you..." Su Xiaoliu shook her head and said while biting her lips.
Fang Xie looked up at her quietly and said calmly, "How can you prove that I'm Gu Rongxue?" After a moment, he added, "I want to revive the Gu family, and only that person can help me."
Su Xiaoliu looked up at him. Her almond - shaped eyes trembled slightly. She stammered, "You, you are Gu Rongxue..." She didn't know how to answer this question.
Suddenly, a bright afternoon flashed through her mind. A figure in a purple robe was quietly looking at her.
"Don't trust me too much. Maybe one day, I'll turn bad. People are all like this..."
A self - mocking smile appeared on that extremely beautiful face. He looked away. A gentle breeze blew, making a few strands of his long hair dance in the wind. There was an indescribable ethereal aura...
The picture in her mind gradually faded until it disappeared. Su Xiaoliu came back to her senses. Looking at Fang Xie, she pursed her lips and said, "You are a good person. You've always been a good person and will always be one." She looked at him firmly.
Those deep, pool - like eyes suddenly trembled slightly. For a moment, Su Xiaoliu seemed to see a familiar figure, but it was only for a moment and then disappeared in a flash.
Fang Xie looked at Su Xiaoliu quietly. His extremely beautiful face was expressionless. He slowly said, "I'm a good person?"
Su Xiaoliu paused and whispered, "Yes."
Fang Xie suddenly grabbed her hand, turned over, and pressed Su Xiaoliu under him. His ink - black hair like flowing water spread out and fell beside Su Xiaoliu's cheek. Those deep, pool - like eyes stared at her quietly. His gorgeous dark - red robe trailed on the ground. The jade ornaments on his waist jingled slightly. His body sank a little.
Su Xiaoliu only felt dizzy. Then she was pressed on the bed. She widened her almond - shaped eyes and couldn't help raising her voice, "What are you doing!"
Fang Xie raised his head. His deep, pool - like eyes stared at her quietly. After a moment, he stretched out his long - fingered hand and gently untied the collar of her clothes. His long eyelashes like a cattail fan drooped. He said calmly, "I'm a good person. You said so."
Su Xiaoliu stared at him with her almond - shaped eyes and gritted her teeth. She didn't expect him to do such a thing suddenly.
Suddenly, her chest felt cold. Su Xiaoliu suddenly came back to her senses. She used all her strength to push Fang Xie away, quickly got out of the bed, and stood two steps away from him, hurriedly pulling up her collar. After tidying up her clothes, Su Xiaoliu looked at him angrily and said, "You are Gu Rongxue. You are Gu Rongxue. You're just deceiving yourself. You'd rather believe the lies of a stranger than my truth. You're escaping. You're afraid to face it!"
Fang Xie's body paused slightly. He slowly sat up. His ink - black hair hung in front of him. His deep, pool - like eyes looked at her and he slowly said, "People are always deceiving each other. Even if I'm really Gu Rongxue, I still have to revive the Gu family."
What did he mean by this?
Su Xiaoliu was stunned.
Was he saying that he was willing to be used by that mastermind?
Su Xiaoliu couldn't help laughing bitterly. Had Gu Rongxue really become this self - interested Fang Xie? It was simply unreasonable.
She slowly stopped smiling, glanced at Fang Xie, and then turned to leave.
She angrily pushed the door open and left, leaving Fang Xie sitting quietly on the bed alone. A look of confusion flashed across his deep, pool - like eyes on his extremely beautiful face...
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing.
Just after washing up, Su Xiaoliu turned around and saw Bantu and Cailing packing something.
Su Xiaoliu couldn't help being a little confused. She looked at the two of them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Bantu raised her eyes and looked at Su Xiaoliu. Her beautiful face was as delicate as a painting. She replied, "Miss Su, the master has ordered you to move to Qianyin Pavilion from today on."
Su Xiaoliu blinked her eyes, frowned, and walked over. She asked again, "Qianyin Pavilion?" Suddenly, she remembered the six - story pavilion she had been to the previous night. She pursed her lips and got angry. She didn't want to live so close to that self - interested Fang Xie! She looked at the two of them and said, "I don't want to go. I'll just stay here."
