119: Love and hate entanglement

Nether Moon couldn't help but feel a deep sense of irony in her heart at this moment.

As a woman, she naturally understood Ye Qingshang's current feelings.

After all, she had been just as reckless and desperate when she was searching for Gu Yuan before.

However, Nether Moon truly hadn't expected that the person Qing Shang was looking for would be the same as hers.

Sigh... Thinking of this, Nether Moon let out a soft sigh.

Seeing her like this, Dongfang Yingxue thought she was worried about Your Excellency, so she spoke up to comfort her:

"I saw that although Qing Shang is full of hatred for Your Excellency, she... still seems to care about him very much. So, he should be fine; you don't need to worry too much."

I... Hearing Dongfang Yingxue's comfort, Nether Moon opened her mouth, but finally gave her a somewhat amused roll of the eyes.

This silly woman doesn't even know what's going on, yet she's here offering comfort.

If I let you know that the person Ye Qingshang took away is your favorite Disciple, I'd like to see what kind of reaction you'd have then.

Nether Moon curled her lips, thinking snidely to herself.

To be honest, if she hadn't promised Gu Yuan not to expose his identity...

Nether Moon would definitely have told her Gu Yuan's identity by now.

The expression Dongfang Yingxue would show then would surely be very interesting.

"Fine, fine. Since you say he's fine, then he's fine. I'll be going now. If you need help repairing the Great Formation later, call me again."

Nether Moon waved her hand at Dongfang Yingxue, speaking with a lack of interest.

Originally, she had wanted to spend some time alone with Gu Yuan to talk.

But now, that guy had been taken away by Ye Qingshang.

Well... good luck, Gu Yuan. I hope you don't get broken by Ye Qingshang.

As for whether Gu Yuan would be in danger, she wasn't worried at all.

After all, she understood Ye Qingshang's current thoughts all too well.

The so-called hatred and resentment were nothing more than a mask to hide her true heart.

Only when love is deep can hatred be so intense.

Nether Moon also had some understanding of the history between Ye Qingshang and Gu Yuan.

She had chosen to imprison herself here because she thought Gu Yuan was dead.

Yet now, Gu Yuan had appeared before her.

The resulting surprise, confusion, doubt, and other emotions were only natural.

As long as Gu Yuan explained things clearly to her, everything should be fine.

It's just... before that, Gu Yuan, you're going to have to suffer a bit.

Nether Moon seemed to have imagined some scene and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Seeing her like this, Dongfang Yingxue's face was filled with question marks.

What kind of personality does this woman have? Why did she suddenly start laughing again?

How bizarre... "If you have business, then leave first. I also need to notify the major Sects as soon as possible. I will contact you then."

Dongfang Yingxue was concerned about the Ancient Grand Formation in the Sea of Stars, so she spoke to Nether Moon.

Hearing this, Nether Moon stretched her body lazily and then nodded.

In the next moment, her figure vanished from the spot.

Dongfang Yingxue lingered for a moment, then also shook her head gently.

The matter of the Sea of Stars could be considered temporarily settled.

Speaking of which, what is that Rebellious Disciple doing right now?

For some reason, Dongfang Yingxue suddenly thought of Gu Yuan.

She pursed her lips, left behind a faint, almost imperceptible hmph, and then also left the Sea of Stars... "Nine Nether Maze Realm..."

Gu Yuan looked around and murmured to himself.

This seemed to be an independent space, filled with a desolate aura.

Gu Yuan naturally knew about Qing Shang's Nine-Tails Secret Technique.

Just now, Gu Yuan was still in the invincible state granted by the System.

As long as he was unwilling, it was entirely possible for him not to be brought here by Ye Qingshang.

However, Gu Yuan didn't want to do that.

The debt he owed Ye Qingshang was simply too much.

Because unlike the other Fated Heroines, Gu Yuan had used the method of faking his death back then to avoid being recognized by Ye Qingshang.

And Ye Qingshang's personality was the most paranoid and crazed.

Gu Yuan could hardly imagine how much despair she must have felt after she thought he had died.

And Gu Yuan found it even harder to imagine what kind of resentment would be in her heart now that she saw with her own eyes that he wasn't dead.

To be honest, putting himself in her shoes, Gu Yuan felt that the fact Ye Qingshang hadn't directly slaughtered him by now was proof that she loved him to death.

However, just as Gu Yuan was thinking this, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

When he slowly turned around, he saw Ye Qingshang's expressionless, cold, and haughty face.

At this moment, Ye Qingshang was holding a long sword.

And this long sword was currently held across Gu Yuan's neck.

Huh!?

Why does this scene feel a bit familiar...?

Gu Yuan let out a sigh with a bitter smile.

Why does everyone like this routine?

"Heh, you really aren't dead. That Woman was right after all..."

Ye Qingshang reached out to stroke Gu Yuan's cheek.

However, when she touched the mask, she let out a cold laugh.

"Even to this day, you don't dare to face me with your true appearance... Heh, hehehe..."

As Ye Qingshang spoke, her delicate body trembled slightly.

That originally cold and noble face was now filled with a look of madness.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan was momentarily speechless, and at the same time, a trace of confusion rose in his heart.

That Woman said... which woman?

If I find out who it is, I'll definitely have to give her a lesson.

Doesn't she know what can be said and what can't!

Gu Yuan was complaining wildly in his heart.

At the same time, he was also very curious. Why did the woman Qing Shang mentioned know that he wasn't dead?

Could it be someone who knows me?

But... who could it be?

"Heh, speechless, are you? That's fine too. Then you... can just die. That way, you can stay by my side forever."

Seeing that Gu Yuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Qingshang gave a doting laugh, and then the long sword in her hand was about to slash down at Gu Yuan.

"Qing Shang..."

Just as the sword was about to fall, Gu Yuan spoke softly.

Huh!?

Ye Qingshang's movements stopped instantly, and she looked at Gu Yuan in disbelief.

Gu Yuan slowly took off the mask from his face, and at the same time, his voice returned to its original tone.

This was also why Ye Qingshang was surprised.

After taking off the mask, Gu Yuan reached out and grasped the long sword in Ye Qingshang's hand.

He didn't make any deliberate attempt to protect himself, allowing the sharp sword to cut his palm as blood dripped onto the ground along the blade.

Gu Yuan wasn't worried about Ye Qingshang recognizing his identity.

Or rather, this time Gu Yuan had already planned to stop hiding his identity.

Because after completing the Revered Master's Rescue Mission this time, Gu Yuan had received a reward from the System.

It was an opportunity to be recognized by a Fated Heroine without suffering any punishment.

And this was exactly what Gu Yuan urgently needed right now.

The System really does know my heart...
