334. Neither Nor Man (3)
Gao Ran looked at other places with nothing in his eyes, but he gave Qiao'er an ultimatum in his mouth:
"Qiao'er, I'll give you one last chance, you have two choices now: or, right now, kill 'Seven' with your own hands in front of my eyes. In this way, if you want to keep his corpse by your side, I will follow you, or you will wait here obediently, and after ten years, after 'Seven' can successfully ascend to the position of pavilion master, you will end this relationship between you and him.
"But if you don't choose either, then I'll have to let 'Seven' choose: do you stay with you, or do you kill you with my own hands to show your determination, and then come with me?
"You should know that now, it is impossible for me to keep you by my side. My promise to you is only valid if you are faithful to me. ”
After speaking, Gao Ran deliberately glanced at "Seven", and then looked at Qiao'er again, waiting for her answer.
Qiao'er lowered her eyes, her body couldn't stop trembling slightly, she turned her head slightly, glanced at the "Seven" behind her, and then lowered her gaze again, but asked him, "Do you really have to go?"
"I have to go. "Seven" replied without hesitation.
After hearing this, Qiao'er sighed as if she was in prostration, and after a few obvious shakes as if her body was about to fall down and not fall, suddenly, her body no longer shook, but seemed to have suddenly gained a strong force, supporting her to sit up without relying on the support of her two hands.
She didn't get up immediately, but straightened up and sat upright on the ground with this force.
Then, she looked up at Gao Ran, looked her in the eyes, and replied, "Miss, I'll stay." I'll stay here in peace, get married, and start a family. ”
At this point, Qiao'er's eyes suddenly flashed, and then she changed her words, and while turning her head to look at "Seven" with a slight obliqueness, she continued to Gao Ran in her mouth: "But please Miss promise me that I must ensure that 'Seven' is complete...... Even if he dies in the end, he will have to die after he sees me! I will not allow him to die until I see him again!"
"Huh. Gao Ran sneered unconsciously.
Although she didn't understand why Qiao'er could be so sure that she would agree to her request, she had to admit that as long as Qiao'er was really willing to stay here and wait for the dust to finally settle the current situation, then she was willing to fulfill her wish.
Gao Ran's sneer was not so much laughing at Qiao'er's ignorance, but rather laughing at her own inexplicability, even if she knew that Qiao'er couldn't threaten her at all, she was still willing to fulfill her, as long as she was obedient.
Gao Ran didn't know why she was like this, but she did know that the crux of why she was like this was Qiao'er.
For Qiao'er's complex emotions, and the fact that she has to admit that Qiao'er can indeed have such a strange influence on her Gao Ran, even if she knows the existence of these facts, she knows that she doesn't know why she is like this, but she knows better: no matter what, this matter can only be known by herself, and must not be known by a second person. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that one day her inexplicable side will not become her most fatal weakness and her death hole.
Thinking of this, Gao Ran frowned slightly, and coldly agreed: "As long as you are willing to live in peace, are willing to wait patiently for my summons here, and promise to only act after listening to my summons, then I can promise you that I will try my best to ensure that the 'seven' is complete." If you really can't protect him, I will let you know in time so that you can see him for the last time. How?"
Gao Ran's reply made "Seven" a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gao Ran's care about Qiao'er was far beyond what he had thought before.
Qiao'er, on the other hand, still lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but two shallow tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes.
All three were silent. But this strange silence didn't last long, and Gao Ran took the lead in leaving, leaving Qiao'er and "Seven" to continue to solve their own problems.
"Qiao'er, as long as you are willing to settle down, I believe that Miss will not embarrass you. She will keep what she promised you. You have to cherish it. ”
Seeing Gao Ran walking away, "Seven" finally reminded Qiao'er of this. Then he made a gesture to leave.
"Wait!"
"How?"
"You can go, but you must promise me that you will not be near other women until you have completely severed ties with me. Otherwise, even if I die, I will die with you!"
"Heh, don't worry, there is a young lady in one day, even if I have the heart to abandon you, I don't have the courage to ...... Qiao'er, this is your luck, you should cherish it. You just listen to the young lady obediently, and stay here in peace. Don't worry, as long as I can live to get what I want, then one day, I will definitely come back to give you an explanation. I will come and 'wrap it up' in person as you wish. ”
After speaking, "Seven" glanced at Qiao'er coldly, and then ignored her and left directly. It seems that he wants to catch up with Gao Ran, who has already gone away, as soon as possible.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't dare to get close to other women, even if you can't get it, it doesn't matter......" Looking at the figure of "Seven" gradually moving away, Qiao'er stood alone against the door, muttering to herself.
"Seven, after you go back, you immediately go and deal with the aftermath of the other courtyard, and then follow me. I'll give you half a day, and you must go out of town by evening. After "Seven" caught up with Gao Ran, he walked with her for a long time before he suddenly heard her say this.
"What about 'that one'?"
"Oh, you're talking about 'Amu'. Ignore him, he has other important things to do, and he will come to me when he is done. I might not see him for a few days...... However, we should be back before we reach Qingli Town. Therefore, in the past few days of his absence, my safety has been at risk, but you have to worry a lot. ”
After speaking, Gao Ran smiled very politely at "Seven".
But "Seven" rarely had no smile at all, not even the smirk he usually wore on his face. He had a hunch that Gao Ran would have something to say......
Sure enough, Gao Ran continued to walk for a while, and suddenly added: "By the way, after you go back, send two of your henchmen to keep an eye on Qiao'er for me." If she dares to leave the city without permission, she will be killed. Let them remember that anyone who tries to take her will be killed except by my summons! ”
After speaking, Gao Ran deliberately raised his eyes to look at the "Seven" beside him, and the coldness in his eyes made the "Seven" unconsciously cool down his emotions when he met her gaze, and changed the flashy and charming expression that he had always liked, but the unpredictable expression, and rarely turned to ask directly without concealment: "Then if the person who intends to take her away, is it me, or is it the pavilion master?"
"Huh. Okay, since you have this question, then I'll teach you a lesson first: believe it or not, but I'm sure that unless holding Qiao'er hostage can save my life, Qiu Yueze will never hold Qiao'er hostage behind my back, but as for you, if you really fall into the point where you need to use this means to contain me, then you are not worthy of my continued support. Killing you and Qiao'er will do me good. I don't want to bother raising a piece of waste. Besides, if that time comes, your so-called henchmen may not recognize you as a master. After all, they are still from the Heavenly Pavilion after all, and you also said that if your wishes are contrary to the wishes of Qiu Yueze, who is the Pavilion Master, they will not necessarily listen to you......"
After speaking, Gao Ran glanced at "Seven" very unceremoniously and ignored him no longer. She didn't say anything more to him until she returned to the other courtyard.
"Seven" is naturally interesting, no more to say. Moreover, he was also somewhat aware of his own strangeness: now, in front of Gao Ran, he always seemed to want to deliberately restrain his usual charm in the past.
He thought about it, and thought that maybe it was because of her blunt antipathy to his hypocritical flattery last night that he would restrain himself in front of her. After giving himself a reasonable reason, "Seven" also calmly accepted such a change in front of Gao Ran.
After everything was arranged, "Seven" followed Gao Ran out of the city and went to Qingli Town.
They chose a compromise route that balanced both distance and ease of walking, and although it wasn't the shortest, it was much shorter than the last time Gao Ran had made his leisurely journey from Qingli Town to this small border town.
However, because she wanted to accommodate Gao Ran's habits, she only hurried during the day, and every two hours or so, she had to dismount and let the horses rest with her for half an hour, so if this route was originally the fastest according to "Seven", if it was a day and night, then he was expected to be able to reach within ten days, when he accompanied Gao Ran and moved forward according to Gao Ran's hurrying habits, it took nearly more than a month to arrive.
But Gao Ran was still very proud of this, boasting to "Seven": "I have made great progress." I think that in the beginning, I followed Master from Qingli Town to the deep mountains near that small town, and that was a few months of walking! Now, I have only walked for less than a month and a half to reach Qingli, which is already very remarkable! Therefore, you should not always look at me with that kind of disgust. It's not fair to me that you compare me to you. ”
"Oh, so do I dislike you or am I wrong?"
After getting along day and night for more than a month, "Seven" has become more and more proficient in the straightforward way of communication that only Gao Ran will use.
"Of course it's your fault. If you are not convinced, then I will learn from you and use my good medical poison skills to evaluate your level? Just the little fur you will have, at most, it can only protect you from some ordinary poisons, or allow you to deal with some minor injuries in time, and be able to save yourself in time, but if you encounter a strange poison that only our medical valley has...... Hehe, I'm afraid that you don't even know when you were poisoned, and you'll already die. If you can easily perceive it, and even allow you to survive by saving yourself, it is a great insult to our medical Gu poison technique!"
After speaking, Gao Ran gave a very unceremonious glance at "Seven".
When "Seven" heard it, he also consciously took the blame. Since he also thinks that it would be unfair for Gao Ran to dislike him because he is not good at the medical and poison skills she is good at, then it is indeed unfair for him to dislike Gao Ran because he is far inferior to his ability to quickly track and rush because of his own background. So, after being glanced at by her, she also shut up in amusement. I don't deliberately look at her from time to time.
