Chapter 985: Original Intent
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Chu Nanping came back, and no one knew where he had gone for a turn, and he really came up with the idea of untying the knot.
Chu Nanping is no longer a teenager, and his cold and feminine appearance makes people think that he has a mature mind, but he still retains his simple side, and sometimes he is even more naΓ―ve than a teenager.
It was Tie Linglong's night watch, and Chu Nanping walked straight to her hiding place, looked up and said, "Follow me." β
"Go farther. Tie Linglong whispered angrily, her martial arts had been far behind, and now even the killer skills were seen through at a glance, which made her self-esteem take a big hit.
"Let's finish everything, today. Chu Nanping's voice revealed a suppressed excitement, which was very different from his usual appearance, and seemed to be hiding an important secret, which was about to be announced in public.
Tie Linglong lifted her cloak and jumped down from the eaves, this position allowed her to monitor half of the Protector's Mansion, and it was not easy for outsiders to find out, "Where are you going?"
Chu Nanping didn't answer, turned around and left, he didn't dare to speak more, just after a while, the original rock-solid determination had been shaken, and the living person stood in front of him, and she was still different from what she imagined.
This is the emotional obstacle mentioned in the secret of the investigation, and he thinks that only by removing this obstacle can he truly enter the realm of ruthlessness.
The two of them came to the dragon king's study one after the other, and he always slept late, and today was no exception.
Chu Nanping stood outside the door, "Dragon King, Tie Linglong and I have something to see you." β
Tie Linglong snorted lightly, "It's you who has something, not me." β
Gu Shenwei in the room sighed silently and let the two of them in.
Under the illumination of the lights, Chu Nanping looked more and more depressed, his hair, clothes, and boots were all wet, stained with some straw sticks and mud, as if he had just come out of the swamp.
Chu Nanping didn't explain his embarrassment, nodded to the Dragon King, and then turned to look at Tie Linglong, thinking that this was the last time to stare, so he allowed himself to indulge a little, stared at it for a while, and then spoke with difficulty, no one knew that it was difficult for him, even more difficult than drawing his sword and killing the girl in front of him, "Please accept her from the Dragon King." β
The room was silent, the other two understood the meaning of Chu Nanping's words, but they didn't understand his intentions, Gu Shenwei knew that Chu Nanping was not the same as ordinary people's thoughts, but he never expected him to come up with such an idea to kill the emotional barrier.
Stupid, nonsense, unreasonable...... Gu Shenwei could come up with a lot of words to describe the current Chu Nanping, and before he could open his mouth, Tie Linglong shot first.
This slap used all his strength, if it wasn't too excited, so that the internal breath was not stable, the force would be even greater.
Chu Nanping didn't hide, leaving a clear fingerprint on his left cheek, blood flowing down the corners of his mouth, but he smiled, "This is also your wish, isn't it?"
"It's none of your business. Tie Linglong had never been so angry, and pulled out a narrow knife and pressed it against Chu Nanping's chest, "There is a better way to make you 'ruthless': dig your heart out." β
Chu Nanping still didn't hide, "When you belong to the Dragon King, I won't think about you anymore, and I don't need to kill you to break the love barrier......"
Gu Shenwei found out that he had become a superfluous person in his house, but he had to do something, Chu Nanping continued to say this, Tie Linglong was only afraid that he would really kill, "Put the knife away." β
"But he ......" Tie Linglong suddenly changed her mind, put away her sword as ordered, and raised her head and said: "That's right, I voluntarily sacrifice myself to the Dragon King, as long as I ...... The Dragon King did not object. β
Her eyes have been staring at Chu Nanping, her green eyes are like burning jade, but her voice is trembling slightly, she once "dedicated" herself once, but was interrupted because of an accident, but the Dragon King's reaction was similar to a direct refusal.
She couldn't afford any more setbacks.
"I'm not against that. Gu Shenwei said.
Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong stared at each other, one getting colder and colder, the other hating more and more, deaf to the Dragon King's answer, and it took a while to understand.
"What?" Tie Linglong asked, turning her head in surprise.
"Since the two of you are on the same page, I have no reason to object. Gu Shenwei said casually, as if he was about to receive an ordinary gift.
Chu Nanping also turned around, he was judging whether the Dragon King's words were true or false.
"In the first match, I want you to win, no matter what means, you have to win. I gave you the opportunity to choose between Iron Linglong and Swordsmanship, and you chose the latter, and I respect it. Gu Shenwei said to Tie Linglong again: "I like you very much, if you want to be a killer, breaking your body is essential, I would rather accept you myself, but that's all, you will still be a guard after that." β
"As long as I stay with the Dragon King, I don't have the luxury. Tie Linglong said, trying to control herself from looking at Chu Nanping, and try to keep her voice calm and cold.
The room fell silent again.
"You're ready to go out. Gu Shenwei said.
Chu Nanping seemed to wake up from a big dream, looked at the Dragon King, believed that what he said was true, slowly retreated, and when he closed the door outside, he believed that his heart was dead, and instead of killing Tie Linglong, it was better to "kill" himself, this is the way he came up with to break the emotional barrier.
Tie Linglong stood there in a daze, angry, frightened, expectant, and uneasy, looking younger than her actual age.
Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered the scene when the two met for the first time, the girl in front of him was no different from the little girl he rescued, and time seemed to have never passed in her.
"Blow the lights out. He said.
Chu Nanping stood guard on the eaves where Tie Linglong had stayed, and when he saw the lights go out, he began to monitor everything around him intently, but he was always distracted, and his eyes couldn't help but want to turn to the room.
The heart is not dead enough, it will take a little time, he thought.
Tie Linglong slowly forgot about Chu Nanping outside, trying to focus on the dragon king in the dark, her heart was beating faster and faster, and her whole body was trembling slightly, she had this wish vaguely from a long time ago, but when the wish was about to come true, what she felt most was fear and embarrassment, not imaginary joy.
After blowing out the oil lamp, she couldn't take a single step, she could only stand with her hands on the table, hoping that the dragon king would take the initiative to do something, and hoping that he would never move.
The Dragon King's footsteps were silent, but she could feel a familiar aura approaching, enveloping her.
Gu Shenwei gently hugged the thin and stiff body, ** her hair, and whispered in her ear: "You can cry, you can laugh, you can kill, you can not kill, but never go against the original intention in your heart, with my protection, you don't have to follow my old path." β
The first thing Tie Linglong did was to cry, she hugged the dragon king, buried her head in his arms, and cried unabashedly, pouring out all the sadness that had accumulated for a long time.
After some time, she sobbed and asked, "Why did he humiliate me?"
"Because he loves you. Gu Shenwei said that he was extremely uncomfortable with the role he was currently playing, but he knew that it was just a trivial matter for him, but it was a big deal for Tie Linglong and Chu Nanping, and he had to deal with it carefully.
"I don't want his love, I don't want this love. Tie Linglong raised her head and looked at the vague shape in the darkness, "Dragon King...... You said...... Is it true? really...... Do you want me?"
"No one doesn't want you. Gu Shen weighed the words, he had to let the little girl regain her confidence first, "Me too, even the slaughtering dog and the old man wood. β
Tie Linglong couldn't help but sneer, and broke free from the dragon king's embrace, "I don't want the two of them, but ...... But you're lying to him, and me, aren't you?"
"I said, it's up to you to choose, don't do anything for me, and don't do anything for Chu Nanping, you are Tie Linglong, the person the Dragon King likes, you can do whatever you want. β
Tie Linglong laughed again, followed by a long silence, and Gu Shenwei stood opposite her and waited patiently.
"I ...... Haven't figured it out yet. Tie Linglong whispered, ashamed of her hesitation.
"Then keep thinking. β
"But I'll never pay attention to Chu Nanping again, never, he humiliates me, despises me, he's a big bastard. β
"He's a jerk, but he'll wake up. β
"Then I ignore him, I'm not his plaything, I want it, I want it, I can throw it away. β
"Well, that's the real Iron Delicacy. β
Tie Linglong was embarrassed, although the wish of "dedication" was not realized, she was not disappointed at all, but was drenched in tears and her mood was much better, which made her understand that she deeply liked the Dragon King, but it was a feeling for her father and brother, not a love between men and women.
"He's sure to think ...... What does the Dragon King want me to say?"
"Don't say anything, let him go all the way he wants. β
Tie Linglong nodded solemnly, remembering that the Dragon King might not be able to see it, and hummed seriously, and then remembered one more thing, and asked, "When will I go out......?"
"Wait a minute. β
Tie Linglong nodded again, seeing the vague figure walking away, "I'm sorry for delaying the Dragon King for so much time." β
"It's okay, I just took the opportunity to practice a kind of a**?"
"What**?" Tie Linglong was interested.
"Accurate moves in the dark. β
"That's pretty good, is the Dragon King going to use this trick to defeat the Dubu King?"
"Hmm. β
"But how can you turn off the lights during the competition?"
"I'm thinking. β
Tie Linglong stopped talking, and was also helping to think about it, but a lot of ideas popped up, each of which was whimsical, and even she felt worthless.
"You can go out and light the lights. β
Tie Linglong obeyed the order, and as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw the Dragon King's attendant Qin Yeming guarding outside like a ghost, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she hurriedly walked away.
Chu Nanping, who was in the distance, saw this scene and found that his heart was not dead, but broken.
Qin Yeming stood at the door, "Dragon King, a person named Fang Wen, who claims to be a military advisor, has to see you at this time." β
Fang Wen actually rushed back from the North Courtyard, and there was not even a letter to inform him beforehand, "Bring him in immediately." Gu Shenwei ordered, guessing that something big had happened in the grassland again.
