Full-time sword repair

In order to avoid the old man's "hunt", Lin Ji Chen had no choice but to summon his flying sword and fly hundreds of miles away, only then did he completely get rid of the other party's entanglement.

Looking back again, Gu Qingcheng was still hanging on his back.

Lin Jichen rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Please, men and women shouldn't touch each other. You'll easily cause a scandal if you do this."

Gu Qingcheng didn't continue to pester him. She got off his back and said nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Yun Lanyi will get jealous and angry with you if she knows? Hehe."

"Then you think too much. My wife would never be so stingy."

"Hey~ My wife wouldn't be so stingy~~" Gu Qingcheng imitated Lin Jichen's lines, speaking in a coquettish and sour tone.

Lin Ji Chen was too lazy to argue with her.

"Hey, let me ask you, who do you think is prettier, Yun Lanyi or me?"

"Need I say more? Of course she is pretty. You are far inferior to her." Lin Ji Chen answered without thinking.

Gu Qingcheng glared at him and said, "You are clearly seeking revenge on purpose! And you are also bringing in personal feelings. I want you to compare from a fair perspective!"

"It's impossible to be fair. I'll only be partial. You should ask someone else."

"Humph! You're so boring! I don't know what Yun Lanyi sees in you, a blockhead like you."

"Don't worry about it. I'm here to talk to you about serious matters."

Lin Ji Chen said with a serious face.

Gu Qingcheng tutted, "It's just returning my staff. What else is there to do? Don't think you can hold me hostage. If you dare to tell anyone about this, I will kill you and settle the score with you in the Sword Sect! I'll give you this staff as a hush money. Do you understand?"

Lin Jichen shook his head and said, "That's not what I want to say. If you still want Gu Zihan to live a few more years, then listen to me carefully."

"You mean my son? What on earth are you trying to say, kid? I'm warning you, if you try to harm my precious son, my Law Sect and your Sword Sect will be at war to the death!"

Mentioning Gu Zihan was like touching Gu Qingcheng's reverse scale, and Lin Ji Chen had no doubt about the truth of this statement.

If anyone really touches her precious son, he would probably have to face the wrath of the entire Yuanji Fa Sect.

When Gu Zihan appeared in Jiangling, China intact, she was discovered by Gu Qingcheng, and almost the whole of China was set on fire by her...

One can imagine how important Gu Zihan is in her heart.

Lin Ji Chen couldn't help but wonder, logically, Gu Zihan was just reborn through a borrowed womb and was not Gu Qingcheng's biological son, so why did she attach so much importance to him?

The most likely reason is the ghost of Nüba's stepmother. Could it be that they really have an affair?

Lin Jichen suppressed his curiosity and slowly explained: "Back then you took away the remaining soul of Emperor Huangquan's concubine..."

Lin Ji Chen explained what had happened in detail.

Gu Qingcheng didn't care at first, but later her face turned pale, her expression panicked, and her heart was dead.

After Lin Ji Chen finished speaking, she fell into a paranoid state. She rushed forward, grabbed Lin Ji Chen's arm and started questioning him.

"Who told you that? This is not true! Nüba must be jealous that I have a son and that I helped her stepmother to start a new life, so she made up this lie! It must be like this!"

"Humans and ghosts have different paths, and the law of heaven will backfire. I believe you can understand." Lin Ji Chen responded calmly.

"Impossible! You and her teamed up to deceive me! I don't believe it! I..."

Gu Qingcheng had completely lost her composure at this point, and her confidence was gone from her words.

Seeing his condition, Lin Jichen looked at him with a sharp gaze and said, "You actually knew it a long time ago, right?"

Gu Qingcheng did not answer.

Lin Jichen continued to ask: "Maybe you didn't know it at first, or maybe you knew it a long time ago, but maybe it was because of some unavoidable reasons that made you choose to take the risk."

Gu Qingcheng still didn't say anything, but her eyes were filled with gloom.

"When you chose to be reborn through a fetus, you were gambling, right? You were gambling that you could succeed. You thought that you succeeded, and you made up for your guilt towards the female ghost, and you felt at ease. Your love for Gu Zihan was just a subconscious choice for you to avoid. You knew clearly that Gu Zihan was not Nüba, but you still put that guilt on him."

"Stop talking!" Gu Qingcheng finally couldn't help it, grabbed Lin Jichen by the collar, and said angrily: "You think you know me very well, you think you are very smart, right! Don't be so self-righteous here!"

Lin Jichen did not respond, but continued: "I am not saying this to expose your secrets or worries. I am here for Gu Zihan. If you still want him to live, just listen to what I have to say."

Gu Qingcheng immediately let go of her hand, opened her red lips slightly, and said, "Go on."

"No matter what your reasons are, everything that happened today was caused by you. You thought you won, but you didn't. Gu Zihan has not been attacked until today because he is lucky enough. But the backlash of heaven will definitely happen, at the latest before he reaches adulthood, so you can only pray that nothing unexpected happens to him before he reaches adulthood, otherwise, you may lose this adopted son."

Lin Ji Chen's words were like a time bomb, setting off Gu Qingcheng's heart, making her anxious and flustered.

"It's impossible... Since Ming Ji's soul has disappeared, how could the backlash of heaven appear again? I was ignorant and willful back then, and I deceived Ming Ji, and even wanted to use her to help me find treasures in the ghost world. I admit that this is the stupidest and most regrettable thing I have done in my life. For this reason, I tried every possible way to help Ming Ji's residual soul recover, but Ming Ji was determined to die, and I was powerless to save her. In order to help her revive completely, I can only resort to this last resort."

"I was thinking at the time that if the fetus failed, I would commit suicide to make amends, but I think I succeeded. The fetus survived, and Ming Ji did not disappear. Her soul power remained in the fetus, which gave rise to the Gu Zihan of today."

As Gu Qingcheng said this, her emotions gradually calmed down.

"But I really didn't expect that there would be a latent period for the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. If that's true, and Gu Zihan is gone, I'll just go with him!"

There was also a sense of determination in Gu Qingcheng's words.

She has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and she still remembers the kindness that Ming Ji showed her in the past. It is because of this kindness that she loves Gu Zihan especially hard.

She had thought at the beginning that if the attempt to borrow a fetus failed, she would commit suicide to make amends.

Even now, after all these years, her attitude remains firm.

The debt of favor is the hardest to repay, let alone the favor of a ghost.

Lin Jichen frowned after hearing this and said, "Why are you so extreme? You don't necessarily need to commit suicide to solve all problems."

"You don't understand. When I borrowed a fetus to revive my soul, I swore with my Dao heart that if I failed and the fetus and Ming Ji died together, I would end my life and accompany them on their journey! Now the old things are brought up again. My son is gone, and my Dao heart is broken. How can I talk about living in vain?"

Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips and smiled softly, as if she was talking about something very ordinary...
