Chapter 1535: Chapter 790: Something Happened (2)

"Let it out."

Gu Sheng’s voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable force.

"You don’t need to pretend in front of me."

This sentence seemed to unlock a certain gate.

Xie Qingxuan’s shoulders trembled slightly at first, then her whole body began to shake violently.

She gripped Gu Sheng’s collar tightly, letting out a whimper like a wounded animal, eventually turning into heart-wrenching sobs.

Tears soaked the fabric on Gu Sheng’s chest, so hot they almost burned through his skin.

Tantai Xueling stood beside them, watching the scene helplessly.

She had never seen such a way of comforting... In Linyin Pavilion, everyone maintained just the right amount of distance, even between her and her sister, such intimate contact was rare.

But there was no denying that Gu Sheng’s method had worked.

Though Xie Qingxuan’s cries were mournful, they were far better than the deathly silence from before.

"I... I have no family left..."

Xie Qingxuan finally stopped crying, her voice hoarse and barely audible.

This sentence was like a sharp blade, directly piercing Tantai Xueling’s heart.

She suddenly recalled that snowy night many years ago, when she and her sister curled up in a broken temple, watching helplessly as their parents were killed by enemies.

That feeling of having only each other left in the world, she understood better than anyone.

The silver-haired girl almost instinctively stepped forward, kneeling down to hold Xie Qingxuan’s cold hand.

"From today onwards, my sister and I are your family."

She paused and glanced at Gu Sheng.

"He is too."

Xie Qingxuan lifted her head in confusion, her swollen eyes darting between the two.

She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

This unexpected kindness left her feeling lost... Just two hours ago, she still had a complete family, and now she had to accept the protection of strangers.

"Wanliu Sect is just a pawn."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

"The real orchestrator behind all of this is a massive evil cultivator organization. If you want revenge, relying on your own strength alone is far from enough."

He looked straight into Xie Qingxuan’s eyes.

"Tantai Xueling can provide you with the best resources and guidance. Accept her kindness, and you can grow stronger faster."

Xie Qingxuan’s pupils contracted slightly.

Gu Sheng’s words were like a heavy hammer, waking her from self-pity.

Yes, what’s the use of crying? Her family won’t return; only blood for blood is the true path.

"I... I understand."

She swallowed with difficulty, turning to Tantai Xueling.

"I will remember this favor deeply. If there comes a day..."

"Don’t say such things."

Tantai Xueling interrupted her, reaching out to help her up.

"First, let’s go bury your family. Then we’ll introduce you to the people at Linyin Pavilion... From today, that is your home."

Gu Sheng watched the two girls walk away together, a faint smile playing on his lips.

At that moment, he felt a subtle fluctuation of Spiritual Energy behind him.

"The performance is over?"

He didn’t turn around, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Tantai Bingtang gracefully stepped out from the shadows, already returned to her true self.

Surprisingly, she didn’t wear her iconic veil this time, her moonlit-cold face completely exposed to the air.

Gu Sheng then noticed that, although she and her sister had identical features, their temperaments were totally different... Tantai Xueling was like a flickering flame, while she was the eternal ice.

"I never act."

Tantai Bingtang’s voice was calm as water.

"No matter who you are, as long as you’re related to that Emperor, it’s worth showing my true self."

Gu Sheng chuckled lightly, without replying.

He knew what Tantai Bingtang was probing... ever since the Beichen Flower recognized its master, these sisters were deeply curious about his identity.

Especially Tantai Bingtang, behind her seemingly calm eyes, lay too much calculation.

"I need to handle some affairs this afternoon."

Tantai Bingtang suddenly changed the subject.

"Go ahead."

Gu Sheng waved his hand casually.

"No need to report everything."

Tantai Bingtang did not move, instead pulling out a small Green Jade Porcelain Bottle from her sleeve.

The bottle was only the size of a thumb, yet it emitted a chilling wave of Spiritual Power.

Even through the stopper, Gu Sheng could sense the vast energy contained within the elixir pills inside.

"Eighth Grade Golden Body Pill."
