At this moment, numerous images from that time all flashed through Gu Xian’er’s mind, causing her to freeze in her tracks. Then, she looked at Gu Changge’s enigmatic expression and a faint blush appeared on her fair and lovely face. Her gaze became somewhat elusive, and her small hand, hidden beneath her sleeve, kept fidgeting. She was indeed feeling a bit embarrassed.

It turned out that a long time ago, Gu Changge had already admitted to being the inheritor of demonic arts. Back then, Gu Xian’er had even mentioned to Zi Yang Heavenly King and Qin Wuya that if such a situation were to arise in the future, she would willingly accept it.

With this realization, Gu Xian’er’s anger began to dissipate. Instead, her face flushed as she wondered why had she come storming over to confront Gu Changge in the first place?

However, she still had some questions and didn’t understand that she clearly heard Gu Changge’s confession back then, so why hadn’t she taken it seriously?

“I thought at the time… that you were just joking. Who would have thought you were telling the truth?” she said, her tone mixed with frustration.

“And back then, you didn’t explain it at all. Without any evidence, how could I believe you?” Gu Xian’er stared at him, her gaze challenging.

In response, Gu Changge shrugged and said, “So, you blame me for not explaining it clearly? It was actually your own fault for being so naive.”

“You didn’t make it clear at the time, so how can you blame me for the misunderstanding?” Gu Xian’er attempted to look stern, though she was clearly annoyed.

She couldn’t understand why, despite the gravity of Gu Changge being the inheritor of demonic art, she was more concerned about his attitude to her than his identity.

Hearing this, Gu Changge chuckled and said, “I had no idea you were even more clueless than I thought. Why did you suddenly come here today to ask me…”

“You are the inheritor of Demonic arts.”

“Why did you do this? You’ll be facing enemies from all around in the future.”

At these words, Gu Xian’er suddenly fell silent, her emotions inexplicably sinking. While she did have some resistance to the fact that Gu Changge was the inheritor of demonic art, her greater concern was for his safety in the future and her fear of the visions she had seen in the Reincarnation Lake.

Previously, she had never thought that the rumors circulating lately would accidentally turn out to be true.

It was simply unbelievable.

The inheritor of demonic arts is right here with me?

“Why… why am I able to accept the fact that you are the inheritor of demonic art so easily…” “Clearly, at a time like this, I should have killed you to rid the upper realms of this menace.”

Gu Xian’er’s bright eyes suddenly lifted as she looked at Gu Changge, as if she were murmuring to herself. Her tone was low, and she seemed almost unable to believe it herself. After all, she was a person of such integrity. How could she accept that someone so close to her was the inheritor of demonic art?

The inheritor of demonic art was known for their wicked deeds, causing calamities in the upper realms. How many cultivators and prodigies had died miserably at their hands, robbed of their essence? Countless cultivators and living beings wished to kill the inheritor of demonic art and cleanse the world. Yet, her current state of mind was exceptionally calm. Perhaps… is it because the visions she had seen in the Reincarnation Lake had prepared her mentally?

“If there comes a day when the world turns against me, I don’t want you by my side.” “At that time, I hope it’s you who will finally plunge the sword into my heart to end my life.”

Seeing Gu Xian’er seemingly trapped in inner conflict and confusion, Gu Changge sighed softly and gently shook his head. He reached out to pinch her delicate nose, his voice unusually tender.

When Gu Xian’er heard this, she suddenly became still, her lovely eyes fixedly gazing at Gu Changge. Even when he seized the chance to playfully pinch her nose, she remained unfazed. These words reverberated in her mind as though they held some sort of enchantment.

“You… what are you saying…” “Why would you suddenly say something like this?”

As she grasped the meaning behind Gu Changge’s words, Gu Xian’er couldn’t help but murmur, her heart filled with inexplicable sadness.

Based on the scenes she had witnessed in the Reincarnation Lake, if that was indeed the future, it would be far more cruel than the present. The entire upper realm would tremble in fear under the shadow of Gu Changge. Whether it was her, Yue Mingkong, or the rest of the Gu family, they had no future to look forward to.

On that day, a dark mist shrouded the heavens of the upper realms, and living beings suffered. The World wailed in agony. Gu Changge sat on the dark throne, coldly overlooking the sky, but there was no one by his side.

“Because I said a long time ago that if such a day were to come, I would rather have you personally end me,” he explained softly.

“Girl, You haven’t forgotten those words, have you?” Gu Changge’s expression was exceptionally gentle.

Gu Xian’er couldn’t quite handle his gaze. She forcibly shifted her eyes away and said somewhat disdainfully, “I… I wouldn’t kill you…”

“Don’t overthink it. I just thought your blood is black, and it would stain my hands.” freewebnove(l)

But even she didn’t know why her words had suddenly become so awkward and stammering. Despite her words, she couldn’t help but think at this moment. Could it be that he has anticipated all of this a long time ago and has prepared for it, hence why he says those words?

“Gu Changge, tell me honestly, is the forbidden demonic art related to the Demonic Heart?” Gu Xian’er suddenly thought of this and her expression became serious as she asked.

Gu Changge fell into a brief silence at her words. It seemed like it was somewhat related to the Demonic Heart, but the connection wasn’t significant. He didn’t bother explaining it further, as it would lead to a complicated explanation.

“It seems like I guessed right,” Gu Xian’er said when she noticed Gu Changge’s silence. Besides the explanation involving the Demonic Heart, she couldn’t think of any other possibilities. It appeared that the issue of the Demonic Heart had not been resolved from the beginning, despite Gu Changge’s claim that he could suppress its malevolence.

“Don’t make wild guesses,” Gu Changge said calmly, shaking his head. “The forbidden demonic magic may be terrifying, but it’s still controlled by a person.”

“So… some of these actions were your own intent?” Gu Xian’er looked at him and asked.

Gu Changge nodded. He didn’t deny this aspect. Apart from the incident when he was a child and looted Gu Xian’er’ Dao Bone against his will, his current actions were mostly driven by his own will, free from external influences.

Thinking of the visions she had seen in the Reincarnation Lake, Gu Xian’er suddenly wanted to ask Gu Changge about them. However, those images were still too terrifying for her, filled with many unknowns. At least from her perspective, the current Gu Changge wouldn’t be capable of such actions. It seemed more likely that in the future, he would be dominated by the Demonic Heart, becoming as ruthlessly indifferent as he had been in his childhood.

“Do you ever feel uncomfortable now?” Gu Xian’er gazed into Gu Changge’s clear eyes, her tone tinged with worry and concern.

Gu Changge was slightly taken aback but then realized she was probably still concerned about the Demonic Heart. “I don’t feel any discomfort. You don’t need to worry, you little troublemaker,” he smiled and reassured her.

“If someday you suddenly feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in advance… I don’t want you to become like that,” Gu Xian’er lowered her gaze, her expression returning to its previous cold demeanor, but her tone remained somewhat downcast.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Gu Changge’s hand had been resting on her face the whole time. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she made a disgruntled noise from her nose and turned to leave the courtyard.

“What has this girl seen?” After Gu Xian’er left, the gentle expression on Gu Changge’s face vanished. He frowned, deep in thought.

In the past, Gu Xian’er would never have spoken to him in this manner, and her behavior today was highly unusual. Moreover, when she learned of his identity as the inheritor of demonic art, she accepted it calmly and easily, without the expected outrage. She didn’t even ask him to stop what she saw as his “wrongdoings.”

This was a stark contrast to the Gu Xian’er he knew—greedy of money, frugal, and somewhat arrogant but always holding to a strong sense of justice.

“Alpha, keep an eye on this girl for a while,” Gu Changge instructed the empty space behind him. “If she exhibits any unusual behavior, stop her promptly.”

“Yes, My Lord.”

Alpha’s figure materialized briefly and then quickly disappeared into thin air. He didn’t inquire about Gu Xian’er discovering Gu Changge’s true identity, as Gu Changge could figure that out himself. It was probably due to a slip-up on Lan Yifei’s part. While killing Jin Yun, Gu Xian’er might have stumbled upon it, and Lan Yifei remained unaware. After all, Gu Xian’er’s several masters had extraordinary backgrounds, and they bestowed her with various treasures and techniques that could perfectly conceal her aura, making it not surprising at all.
