My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 16

Ch 16: Stand Back a Little

Inside the cave, only Gu Yang remained. He opened the system again and saw a prompt: 【Insufficient balance, recharge?】

He had a little over eight hundred and thirty gold coins left, but after breaking through to the sixth rank, the price of the life simulation had increased again.

This is troublesome.

With his current strength, he didn’t have complete confidence in facing that sixth-rank member of the Liu family.

“Maybe I should retreat… Oh, right, I have money.”

Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered something. After killing the Over the Mountain Wind bandits, he had found more than a hundred taels of silver in that room.

Gu Yang quickly took out the silver and chose to recharge.

【Recharge successful, current balance 1001.】

【Use the Life Simulator? One use consumes one thousand gold coins. 】

It was just enough for one use.

His luck was pretty good.

Gu Yang felt a sense of relief. To be honest, he was really reluctant to miss this opportunity to earn thirty thousand taels. If he missed this, it wouldn’t be easy to encounter another chance to make so much money at once.

“Yes.”

【At twenty-two years old, you are already a sixth-rank martial artist. After leaving Liu Family Village, you rescued Su Qingzhi in Wang Family Gully and took her away from the village. Unwilling to become enemies with the Liu family, you quietly left with Liu Xiaohai early the next morning.】

【One month later, you arrive at Xiang Prefecture City. With your sixth-rank strength, you attract attention. Various forces offer you olive branches. After considering it, you decide to accept the Prefect’s invitation and are recommended to become the Deputy Commander of the City Guard.】

【You obtained the fourth level of the 《Red Yang Skill》 and learned the Blood Killing Saber Technique that is passed down in the military.】

【You become obsessed with martial arts, seeking out martial artists of the same realm to spar with, losing more often than winning. Your reputation as a martial arts fanatic begins to spread.】

【At thirty years old, the Prefect is transferred and plans to take you with him when he leaves Xiang Prefecture.】

【The night before leaving Xiang Prefecture, your colleagues hold a banquet for you. During the banquet, Su Qingzhi suddenly bursts in and kills you on the spot with a single sword strike. You die at the age of thirty.】

What the h*ll?

The final twist left Gu Yang dumbfounded.

He had experienced many kinds of deaths, such as being abandoned by his master or poisoned by his benefactor, but none were as outrageous as this one.

He was actually killed by Su Qingzhi?

He was only thirty years old when he died, which was eight years later.

The current Su Qingzhi doesn’t know any martial arts. Eight years later, she would have the strength to kill him with a single sword strike. She must be at least a fifth-rank, right?

Is everyone’s talent capable of crushing him?

Also, he has no grudges with Su Qingzhi.

He even saved her from the Over the Mountain Wind bandits, preserving her innocence. That should be considered a great favor, right?

Why would she kill him?

Gu Yang was completely baffled. He really wanted to ask Su Qingzhi of eight years later in the simulated life, why?

Could it be just because he left her behind and ran away before the Liu family caught up, so she hated him that much?

Hated him to the point of wanting to take his life?

Gu Yang was stunned for a moment, and finally could only shake his head and let out a sigh, “It’s hard to be a good person.”

【Simulation ended. You can retain one of the following.】

【One, your martial arts realm at thirty years old.】

【Two, your martial arts experience at thirty years old.】

【Three, your life wisdom at thirty years old.】

Gu Yang stopped thinking about the problem and chose two.

In the next moment, several powerful saber techniques and the experience of more than a dozen fights with different sixth-rank martial artists flooded into his mind.

At this moment, he heard some movement nearby.

The Liu family’s people had caught up.

At this critical moment, he didn’t move, doing his best to digest the memories and experience that were flooding in.

He needed to be in the best condition to face that sixth-rank member of the Liu family.

The Liu family was going through all this trouble just to capture a person, so she wouldn’t be in mortal danger.

“Miss, how is your foot? Does it still hurt?”

The young maidservant, Zhixing, helped Su Qingzhi to a small river nearby and asked with concern.

Su Qingzhi, upon being asked, realized that her foot no longer hurt. She moved it around and said, “It seems to be fine now.”

“Let me see.”

Zhixing squatted down, took off her shoe, and saw that there was nothing unusual about her ankle. It was neither red nor swollen, and indeed not injured. Only then did she feel relieved.

When she looked up, she saw that she still looked distracted and advised, “Miss, what happened last night was due to the circumstances, you don’t need to take it to heart.”

Before Su Qingzhi could speak, a voice suddenly interrupted, “Miss Su, we’ve finally found you. My young master invites you.”

Both women’s expressions changed. They looked up and saw a person standing in front of them, dressed in black attire.

Zhixing immediately protected Su Qingzhi behind her and said loudly, “Miss, run!”

Unexpectedly, another voice came from behind, “Don’t waste your energy, you can’t escape. Miss Su, please.”

Turning around, they saw another person standing behind them, also dressed in black attire.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Zhixing said loudly, while protecting Su Qingzhi as they walked to a large tree, looking anxious.

The two people said, “Miss Su, please come with us. We don’t want to resort to force.”

At this moment, the sound of horses’ hooves rang out. Several horses appeared before them, led by a young master wearing a black fur coat. When he saw them, his eyes lit up.

“The thirteenth on the Red Beauty List, with ice skin and jade bones, truly a peerless beauty!”

Su Qingzhi’s expression was cold, with a bone-deep hatred in her eyes. Her voice sounded as if it was squeezed out from between her teeth, “Liu family’s Third Young Master, Liu Nuo.”

The young master said with some delight, “Miss Su actually knows my name, I am truly honored.”

Su Qingzhi said coldly, “Your Liu family wants to send me to the Fifth Prince. Aren’t you afraid that one day I will gain favor and have the Fifth Prince destroy your Liu family?”

“Haha—”

Liu Nuo laughed a few times and said proudly, “As long as my second brother is around, no one can touch my Liu family. Even if the Fifth Prince becomes the Emperor in the future, it will be no exception.”

Su Qingzhi fell silent.

Liu Zhe, the Liu family’s Second Young Master, was a twenty-year-old second-rank expert, ninth on the Heaven’s Pride List. His master was a Divine Power Realm expert, the East Sea Sword Saint, one of the Ten Great Sword Saints.

Would anyone be willing to become enemies with such a person for her sake?

As Su Qingzhi thought of this, a figure suddenly flashed in her mind.

Liu Nuo said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “You’ve said so much just to stall for time, right? To remind that seventh-rank martial artist who saved you from the Over the Mountain Wind bandits. It’s a pity, he hasn’t shown up after so long. Guess where he went? Could it be that he ran away by himself?”

Hearing his words, Su Qingzhi’s face turned pale instantly.

Liu Nuo wasn’t in a hurry to make a move, still speaking slowly, “Are you still going to wait? I advise you to give up on that idea. Within this Jiang Prefecture, even the Lin family would never become enemies with my Liu family for your sake.”

His voice was like a cold wind, pulling Su Qingzhi’s heart into an abyss.

Whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, the two black-clad men who were blocking their path fell to the ground.

A figure flashed, and a not-very-tall figure appeared before Su Qingzhi. That familiar voice, that didn’t know the meaning of politeness, entered her ears.

“Stand back a little.”

At this moment, her heart was filled with that figure.
