It was even ridiculous that she once thought that the person who paid such a huge price for her rebirth was Ling Heng.

How stupid was she to actually think it was Ling Heng? How could such a vicious person in his bones admit that he was wrong?

Gu Xingyan was blinded by the light in her eyes and had nowhere to hide, so he could only step back.

Li Shuangwan pressed forward step by step.

"Gu Xingyan, ever since I knew it was you on New Year's Eve, I wish I could grow wings and fly to your side immediately. But, I can't."

The tears on her face stung Gu Xingyan, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"I have too many concerns. You paid such a heavy price to give me my rebirth. I cannot waste your hard work and fall into the trap set for me by others. I must get out of this devil's den of Hengwang Mansion without leaving any trace and never let you down again."

Gu Xingyan sighed softly, she finally knew it.

"What's more, there are Ling Shijiang, Wan Yuzhi, Madam Zhao, Zhou Caiyao, Ling Yun, Ling Yao, Ling Xian, and those sycophantic officials in the court."

"They all hurt me so badly in their previous lives, causing all 381 members of my general's mansion to bleed like a river. How can they still be alive and well?"

"Will it give them a chance to plot against me, Li Shuangwan, and the General's Mansion again?"

"Especially Ling Heng, he used the Dark Guard Poison to control you, forcing you to work for him and die for him!"

"He and I have an irreconcilable feud, so how could I let him tie Prince Heng's Mansion and the General's Mansion together again? How could I let him sit on the throne of the Northern Jin Emperor again in this life!"

"So, I have to wait until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Princess Ling Ying and Ling Shijiang will plot against me. I must take this opportunity to kill them and get away with it."

Every time a name was spoken, it was as if someone had cut her heart with a sharp knife, causing her to tremble with pain.

In front of this man, she tried to force the tears back into her stomach, even if it would cause her pain if they flowed back, but the tears still flowed out unwillingly.

"I did it, Gu Xingyan. Now I'm standing in front of you, but you're backing off? Why?"

Gu Xingyan didn't know how to face her questions one after another.

"So what if it's twelve years! So what if it's a sea of ​​fire and swords? I'll accompany you! No matter where you go, even if it's a sea of ​​blood and corpses, Gu Xingyan, I, Li Shuangwan, will accompany you in this life and we'll go through it together!"

"I……"

"Gu Xingyan, what are you hesitating about?"

Seeing that she still refused to give in, Li Shuangwan burst into tears and seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and fell heavily to the ground.

She just sat on the ground and buried her head deep between her legs.

Gu Xingyan slowly loosened his tightly clenched fists. Looking at Li Shuangwan like this, he felt so heartbroken as if someone was cutting his heart out piece by piece with a knife.

He slowly squatted down, gently lifted her face, and helped her up: "Don't cry, don't cry anymore."

If he cried any more, his heart would break into pieces.

Seeing that her eyes were full of hatred, with tears of hatred in them, and her body still shaking uncontrollably, Gu Xingyan couldn't help but wipe away the tears from her face with his fingertips.

If possible, he might hug her gently.

Li Shuangwan slowly raised his head, and the surging hatred in his heart slowly faded away with his movements until it disappeared.

Gu Xingyan finally sighed softly: "Don't cry, in this life, General Li and Madam Zhu, as well as your brother, Yizhu and Luoman, and everyone in the General's Mansion, they are all alive and well."

Li Shuangwan choked up and cried: "Gu Xingyan, why didn't you tell me? Do you know how hard I have tried to figure out who the man in my dream is for more than a month?"

"You were just a low-ranking secret guard in Prince Heng's palace at that time, and the servants around you called you the emperor. How could I ever think of you?"

"I try to see you clearly every time in my dreams, but I just can't."

"Every day I tried to find that person, but I searched for a whole month and a half."

"Gu Xingyan, you just walked away, but I said those words to you that day."

"Over the past month, every time I think of how much I hurt you, I want to slap myself twice."

Li Shuangwan actually raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face.

With a very crisp "pop" sound, his face suddenly swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gu Xingyan's heart ached violently and he held her hand tightly.

"Don't hurt yourself, don't hurt yourself. It's my fault for not telling you the truth earlier. I'm sorry, Miss Li, I'm sorry."

Didn't the old charlatan, Master Sanqing, say that he would try his best to keep the secret? Why did he tell her in the form of a dream on the first day of his rebirth?

Master Sanqing, who was far away in the Mansion of Duke Shu in Sijiu City, sneezed loudly.

Duke Shu asked hurriedly, "Oh, Master, are you catching a cold?"

“Hahahaha, it’s nothing, just a bite from a ferocious beast.” Master Sanqing stroked his long beard and laughed.

Ferocious beast? Where did the ferocious beast come from in this great Duke's Mansion, in this magnificent city?

Duke Shu has a headache. This old monk always says some incredible things.

A smile gradually spread across her face, and Li Shuangwan's eyebrows curved: "Gu Xingyan, you admitted it."

Gu Xingyan then realized that he had been fooled by Li Shuangwan. He always lost his mind towards her. He smiled bitterly and said, "You have come to this point."

Li Shuangwan looked into his eyes steadily and saw her own reflection in those black pupils.

Gu Xingyan, thank you.

Thank you for giving me a chance to start over and make up for my stupid mistake.

Thank you for saving the entire General’s Mansion.

Thank you for saving me, Li Shuangwan.

Gu Xingyan was afraid that she was burdened too much, so he smiled and said, "I exchanged two lives and half of my life for a new life. In fact, it's not just for you, but also for myself."

"My brother and my mother were murdered by villains in their previous lives. Their rebirth gave me the chance to save them. I will not let anyone have the chance to hurt them in this life."

Li Shuangwan understood what he meant and nodded: "Yeah, me too. We must not let any of those who harmed us in the previous life go, and we will not give them the opportunity to harm our family again."

Li Shuangwan looked at the man in front of him again: "So, let me stay and help you drive the Zhao army out of Daliang, okay?"

Gu Xingyan stared at her in a daze: "Miss Li..."

"Call me Yanyan. Yan, survive in the fire. I, Li Shuangwan, have achieved nirvana in the fire!"

Gu Xingyan murmured: "Nirvana in fire, Yanyan."

Yan, which has the same pronunciation as Yan, is pronounced the same as Yan.

Li Shuangwan did not miss any expression on his face.

"Let me stay with you."

"I know you are worried about my safety, but Ava is known as the God of War. He joined the army at the age of twelve and has participated in more than a hundred battles, big and small, without losing a single one. Such an enemy is too powerful."

"Gu Xingyan, you are still injured, how can I leave with peace of mind?"
