Chapter 81: Being Infatuated is Not a Mistake, Being Stupid is
Sure enough, Ling Ling Shuanghua cared very much about her parents, which was why she was manipulated by Ling Ling Tuisi like this.
She turned around in tears, acting as if she didn't see Ding Ding Dian.
"Brother Wutian, please spare Brother Ding."
"This seat said, killing Ding Ding Dian is easy, so Miss Ling should know what to do, right?"
Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at Ding Ding Dian, who had fallen to the ground, and laughed contemptuously.
"Ling Shuanghua! Don't beg him! At worst, let him kill me, and we will be husband and wife again on the road to the Yellow Springs."
Ding Ding Dian’s face was ferocious, and he shouted angrily.
Ling Ling Shuanghua was moved after hearing Ding Ding Dian’s words.
"This seat said, don't think about committing suicide in front of me."
Gu Gu Hanyuan looked as if he had seen through Ling Ling Shuanghua’s thoughts, and then said:
"However, this seat is not unable to fulfill you."
Both of them were moved; if possible, neither of them wanted the other to die.
"What conditions do you have? As long as Ding can do it, I can do it."
Seeing that there was a turning point, Ding Ding Dian asked.
"Heh, this seat has three conditions; as long as you can agree to any one of them, this seat will let Ling Ling Shuanghua go."
Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s easy-going look, Ding Ding Dian had a bad premonition instead.
Gu Gu Hanyuan said to himself:
"First, hand over the 'Divine Illumination Sutra' to me. Second, tell me the secret of the 'Liancheng Jue' treasure. Third, I heard you met a little brother named Di Yun in prison; kill him. You can agree to any of these three conditions."
Ding Ding Dian’s face turned gloomy; these three things were all things he couldn't accept.
The "Divine Illumination Sutra" concerned the inheritance of the sect, the "Liancheng Jue" treasure concerned the righteousness of Mei Niansheng’s dying entrustment, and Di Yun’s life concerned brotherly loyalty.
Ever since Gu Gu Hanyuan knew the story of "Liancheng Jue," he had looked down on Ding Ding Dian very much.
Although their love story was very touching, they held onto the word "righteousness" and didn't know how to adapt.
Ling Ling Shuanghua was worth appreciating, but Ding Ding Dian, sorry, he couldn't appreciate him.
Possessing peerless martial arts, he neither took action against Ling Ling Tuisi nor took Ling Ling Shuanghua away, doing nothing from beginning to end.
He only knew how to resign himself to fate and hide in prison, listening to Ling Ling Shuanghua’s flute sound and looking at the chrysanthemums she placed in the window, feeling satisfied.
Since he felt that the "Liancheng Jue" treasure couldn't be given to people with bad intentions, there were many upright people in the world; what result could he get by staying in prison all the time?
Especially in this world, not to mention far away, handing it to Guo Jing would be fine; Jingzhou was behind Xiangyang, only a few hundred miles apart.
As long as the treasure was taken away by someone, wouldn't Ling Ling Tuisi lose his hope? How could he force Ding Ding Dian?
Being infatuated is not a mistake, being stupid is.
However, Ling Ling Shuanghua liked Ding Ding Dian’s righteousness, so after hearing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s words, she knew he would definitely not agree.
She endured the sorrow and said:
"Brother Wutian, don't say any more. Let Brother Ding go, and I will agree to you."
Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't have the pride of getting what he wanted, but instead said contemptuously to Ding Ding Dian:
"You are still dragging Miss Ling down with the righteousness in your heart. Since she is not the most important thing in your heart, don't talk about love. The so-called husband and wife on the road to the Yellow Springs is just your self-satisfaction. Ding Ding Dian, you are too arrogant. This seat looks down on you."
Ding Ding Dian’s face was painful, but he couldn't refute.
At this moment, Ling Ling Tuisi, who heard the movement, had already brought people to rush over; seeing Ding Ding Dian lying on the ground, his eyes flickered and he called people to take him away.
After seeing Ding Ding Dian taken away, Ling Ling Shuanghua breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wouldn't die here.
But seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan close the door, she became nervous again, her hands clenched and twisting her sleeves.
Seeing that Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't pounce on her, but sat on the stool in the room, poured himself a cup, opened the lower half of his mask, and sipped slowly.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was also curious about this person.
She looked at the half of his face exposed under the mask and unexpectedly found that he should be very young.
Young, but his martial arts were ridiculously high; although she didn't quite understand what kind of martial arts could be considered high, being able to casually emit sword qi was not something an ordinary person could do.
Gu Gu Hanyuan broke the silence first, took out a pill that was white all over, and handed it to Ling Ling Shuanghua.
"Eat it."
Seeing Ling Ling Shuanghua’s hesitant face, he said again:
"No need for me to threaten you again, right?"
After hearing this, Ling Ling Shuanghua’s face turned ugly, but she still honestly took the pill and ate it.
"What did you give me to eat?"
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s mouth under the mask.
"A drug to help with the fun."
The simple four words shocked Ling Ling Shuanghua, and she subconsciously hugged herself to block in front of her.
"I lied to you."
Gu Gu Hanyuan laughed and knocked on the table.
"Sit down and chat with me."
Ling Ling Shuanghua hesitated for a moment before sitting down, temporarily burying the worry of eating an unknown pill in her heart.
Fortunately, just chatting was better than really doing something.
"Chat about what?"
"Chat about anything. Or anything you want to ask."
Gu Gu Hanyuan turned the cup, his tone completely indifferent.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ling Ling Shuanghua had to find a topic.
"Why did you want Brother Ding to agree to those three conditions?"
"It was just a test. Actually, even if Ding Ding Dian agreed, this seat wouldn't want it. With my martial arts, do you think I still need a manual that I injured with one move after practicing it?"
Ling Ling Shuanghua thought about it and shook her head; this was not something difficult to understand.
"The secret of the 'Liancheng Jue' treasure has already been deciphered by this seat; what’s the point of listening to it again? As for Di Yun in prison, he is still useful to this seat; even if Ding Ding Dian agreed, I wouldn't let him kill him."
"Since that’s the case, why did you still want Brother Ding to agree to you?"
Ling Ling Shuanghua was very confused.
"I wanted an answer."
"An answer?"
"This seat said before, Ding Ding Dian is just arrogant; this seat looks down on him."
Ling Ling Shuanghua’s face was ugly.
"Was it just to confirm Brother Ding’s arrogance?"
"Because of the regret."
Gu Gu Hanyuan stared at Ling Ling Shuanghua when he said this.
He did look down on Ding Ding Dian, but he appreciated Ling Ling Shuanghua very much and didn't want her to end up being buried alive.
Ling Ling Shuanghua was looked at until her face turned red, because the appreciation in that gaze was still clearly visible.
However, she couldn't understand the "regret" mentioned by Gu Gu Hanyuan.
Ling Ling Shuanghua’s eyes flickered and she asked:
"Do you like me?"
"Yes."
Gu Gu Hanyuan replied without hesitation.
"Then why are you still indifferent even though I agreed? Is it because you are afraid to see this face of mine?"
Ling Ling Shuanghua said and took off her veil.
Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at her, the corner of his mouth revealing a subtle arc.
"Turn your head and look at the mirror over there."
Ling Ling Shuanghua subconsciously did as Gu Gu Hanyuan said.
The next moment, tears slid down Ling Ling Shuanghua’s eyes, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
