Ch 25: Now It’s Your Turn
“Alright, you all may step back.”
After Gu Yang understood the general situation of the Su family, he had a rough idea in his mind, and thus dismissed Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi, however, stood there without moving, raised her head to look at him, her eyes carrying a bit more sharpness, and said, “What you asked me to do, I have already done. Now it’s your turn.”
Gu Yang was first startled, then laughed, “Okay, you sit on the bed.”
At this time, Su Qingzhi seemed to have returned to her previous persona as a young miss from a prominent family.
She did not hesitate, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed. She sat cross-legged opposite him.
“Extend your hand.”
Su Qingzhi obeyed and extended her hand, letting him hold it.
In the next moment, she felt a warm aura surge into her body, and the cold energy that had been stagnating in her meridians instantly melted away.
The warm aura was as if it was going to melt her.
“He really is a Third-Rank!”
Su Qingzhi’s heart was shaken, confirming the guess in her heart.
Since childhood, she had been plagued by the cold energy stagnating in her meridians, making it impossible for her to enter the path of martial arts.
Her father had hired famous doctors for her, and the famous doctor said that to solve her problem, only a Third-Rank expert or above could use their True Yuan to forcibly dissolve the cold energy in her meridians.
This was almost a declaration that she would be forever unable to pursue martial arts.
The Su family had long since declined, so where could they find a Third-Rank martial artist?
From then on, Su Qingzhi gave up on the idea of practicing martial arts.
Until ten days ago, she suddenly condensed a wisp of True Qi, and only then did she discover that the cold energy in her meridians had actually disappeared.
Among the people around her, the only one who could help her dissolve the cold energy was Gu Yang.
At that time, she suspected that this person was a Third-Rank martial artist.
This was also the fundamental reason for the huge change in Su Qingzhi’s attitude after considering it for a night.
If Gu Yang was a Third-Rank expert, then perhaps there was hope for her to take revenge.
A Third-Rank at such a young age, even if he was not as good as Liu Zhe, he wouldn’t be far off, and his background must be extremely astonishing.
It could only be said that the Su family had indeed declined, and the famous doctor they hired was not skilled enough, and did not know that she had an extremely rare Ice Skin Jade Bones, and that there was more than one way to solve her problem.
◈◈◈
While Gu Yang was transmitting his Red Yang power, he felt a cold aura flow back, making his fiery True Qi a little more peaceful.
Sure enough, the Yin Qi in her body could make his Red Yang True Qi more refined, which was of great help to his cultivation.
It was not in vain that he used some tricks to make her cooperate obediently.
Of course, this was also a great benefit to her.
After circulating his power for several cycles, Gu Yang stopped and said, “That’s all for today.”
Su Qingzhi opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with excitement. After getting off the bed, she bowed to him. She went to the outer room and went to cultivate on her own.
Before long, she once again felt the Qi Sensation and quickly condensed her first wisp of True Qi.
Having regained what she had lost, she cried with joy.
She had paid too high a price in order to be able to practice martial arts.
◈◈◈
In the inner room, Gu Yang began a new round of simulation.
【At twenty-two years old, you are already a Sixth-Rank martial artist. After leaving Liu Family Village, you save Su Qingzhi in Wang Family Gully. The next day, people from the Liu family come after you. You kill them all.】
【Ten days later, you arrive at Tianshui City. You scheme to blackmail Dong Xuan and get 12,000 taels.】
【That night, Lin Zirui of the Lin family comes to the inn, wanting to recruit you into the Lin family. You agree, but make a request to send someone to Ping Prefecture. He agrees.】
【With the help of the Lin family, a month later, you send Su Qingzhi to Ping Prefecture. She also keeps her promise and takes you to the money house, where you exchange 30,000 taels of silver notes.】
◈◈◈
【During this month, you use the Yin Qi in Su Qingzhi’s body to transform your Red Yang True Qi into Pure Yang. Your power has reached a new level. After going to the Lin family, you are even more valued by Lin Zirui. He often spars with you, and you come into contact with many profound saber techniques.】
【A year later, Lin Zirui breaks through to the Fifth-Rank, his strength far surpassing yours. He loses interest in you.】
【Three years later, you have not been able to break through to the Fifth-Rank. The Lin family loses patience with you and assigns you to Xiang Prefecture to be a steward.】
【At twenty-seven years old, on the day of your wedding, Su Qingzhi, who has been out of contact for several years, comes uninvited, publicly injures you, and kidnaps you. In an uninhabited forest outside the city, she makes you her attendant, to wash away the shame of you forcing her to be your maidservant back then.】
【You are not as strong as her, so you can only pretend to agree.】
【Su Qingzhi takes you away from Xiang Prefecture. Half a month later, you encounter assassins on the road. You then learn that the Liu family has found out the truth about Liu Nuo’s death five years ago and sent people to kill you.】
【You and Su Qingzhi fight side by side, and are both seriously injured.】
【In the end, you escape into the depths of the Lian Mountains, and arrive at Wang Family Gully. You are caught up by the Liu family’s experts. Suddenly, a monster appears and kills you all.】
【You die at the age of twenty-seven.】
Gu Yang felt a little bitter after reading this simulation.
In the simulated life, he compromised in every way, and only lived for five more years. He died young at the age of twenty-seven.
He dodged the Lin family’s assassins, but the Liu family’s people came again. It was really too difficult.
And that Su Qingzhi, she was actually so vengeful. Five years later, not only did she ruin his wedding, but she also forced him to be her attendant, to wipe away her past humiliation.
Fortunately, he had the Life Simulator.
Otherwise, it would be too suffocating to live in this world.
【Simulation ended, you can retain one of the following.】
【One: Your martial arts realm at twenty-seven years old.】
【Two: Your martial arts experience at twenty-seven years old.】
【Three: Your life wisdom at twenty-seven years old.】
This time, without needing to think, he directly chose one.
After Gu Yang made his choice, the True Qi in his body underwent a mysterious change. The Red Yang True Qi, which was as violent as a flame, became much more peaceful.
However, he could feel that its power had not decreased, but had instead become more sustained and had more staying power.
His Red Yang True Qi had been transformed into Pure Yang True Qi.
In terms of total amount, it had also increased by nearly 50%.
It took five years to increase this much, while Lin Zirui only took a year to break through to the Fifth-Rank.
And Su Qingzhi, from an ordinary person, only took five years to surpass him in strength.
Such talent was truly enviable.
Gu Yang carefully studied this simulation. Although it was just a short introduction of a few lines, he could still analyze some things from it.
For example, Lin Zirui initially recruited him because he thought he was talented. After he refused, he even had the intention to kill him.
Once he discovered that his talent was very ordinary, he discarded him like a worn-out shoe.
This was also normal. After all, his current strength was all gained by cheating.
In the eyes of others, at his age, having such strength, they would definitely think he was a genius.
And then there was Su Qingzhi. She didn’t come sooner or later, but appeared a few days before the Liu family sent people to kill him and took him away. She must have received the news in advance and came specifically to save him.
It seemed she still had some conscience.
However, that behavior was still as arrogant as ever.
