C1796 My Life Is in the Hands of the Heavens
"Isn't that a contradiction?"
Ye Xiaochen smiled coldly.
If Gu Yunxiao did not have half the Heavenly Fox's bloodline, why would he come here. There had been a lot of things going on at the Weihai recently, and with the situation around the ocean, he was always very busy every day.
"Big Priest, please go back."
Gu Yunxiao leaned back, and his tone became more and more powerless.
Ye Xiaochen did not expect Gu Yunxiao to refuse him mercilessly while he was busy with this task.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be furious. But in the face of someone whose life might come to an end at any moment, he controlled his emotions.
"Are you willing?"
Ye Xiaochen stopped walking, turned around, lowered his eyes and asked.
"No matter how unwilling I am, it doesn't matter anymore …"
At that moment, Gu Yunxiao's sunken eye sockets shined with a cold light, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Gu Yunxiao, how old are you?"
Ye Xiaochen suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
Gu Yunxiao was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
"Big Priest, if you have something to say, just say it, right?"
"If I remember correctly, you're not even 25 yet?"
Ye Xiaochen walked forward two steps with his hands behind his back. His mysterious gaze landed on the mountains that were covered in green in the distance. His deep eyes were filled with a verdant green.
A breeze blew past, and a purple vine gently swayed in the corner of the courtyard. The air was suffused with the faint fragrance of flowers.
In between the empty valleys, there were very few signs of life.
If he wanted to cultivate in seclusion, this place was indeed better than a paradise.
"When I was your age, I almost died …"
Ye Xiaochen, who was standing in front of Gu Yunxiao, didn't turn around when he spoke.
Gu Yunxiao couldn't see the change in his expression, he saw his proud and aloof back.
It was a part of the past that Ye Xiaochen didn't want to touch, but today, he had to open it again for the sake of someone who could die at any time.
Gu Yunxiao's body leaned back again. Paul was lying at his feet, with sadness in his eyes.
"That year, I was framed by the person closest to me, and I was poisoned by the most violent poison …"
Ye Xiaochen said.
Gu Yunxiao leaned against the bamboo chair. Although he was tired, he still forced himself to remain calm as he listened to Ye Xiaochen.
"Have you heard of Tears of the Crocodile?"
Ye Xiaochen suddenly turned his head, glanced at him and asked.0
"Rumor has it that there is no antidote..."
Gu Yunxiao's heavy eyelids twitched twice as a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
"That's right."
Ye Xiaochen turned his head back and his eyes were dark.
"At that time, I also thought that I had died just like that …."
He paused, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Don't you think I'm living well now?"
"Hmm …"
Gu Yunxiao's blue eyes narrowed.
He could not imagine that the overbearing Dark Night King standing in front of him would have such a thrilling scene occurring in the river of life.
Although he didn't know who was so vicious and merciless, from the brief moment he met Ye Xiaochen's gaze, he saw a fleeting pain.
Presumably, this person was the most trusted person in his family.
"Gu Yunxiao, there's a saying, 'I can't live by the heavens'. Whether you live or die is up to you."
Ye Xiaochen said at last.
"Big Priest... "I …"
This short conversation sparked Weilan in Gu Yunxiao's heart and made him want to continue living.
