Next day, dawn.
When Yun Luofeng opened her eyes, Qingyan was already quietly waiting for her in the room. After she saw the young lady waking up, she spoke somewhat excitedly, "Miss, did you know? Gao Ling, who you locked up a year ago, is on the verge of dying. It"s estimated that he can at most hang on for another hour."
A year ago, Yun Luofeng did not kill Gao Ling on the spot but instead locked him up in the back garden to suffer unbearable torture. In this year of living but wis.h.i.+ng he was dead, he could eventually no longer endure it. Now Qingyan just obtained news that although Gao Ling"s injuries had been treated, he was about to die. As such, she hastily ran to Yun Luofeng"s room to report this matter to her.
"Gao Ling? I almost forgot about him." Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows, "In any case, we were acquaintances in the past and since he"s about to die, how can I not send him off? Qingyan, let"s go!"
After she spoke, Yun Luofeng got up from the bed, freshened up, and walked towards the backyard.
In the yard, Gao Ling was lying on a wooden plank and his eyes contained despair.
Those few people who had been locked up together with him by Yun Luofeng could not endure such torture and had committed suicide that very day, while he was the only one who persistently held on!
Creak
The worn door was pushed open by a jade-like hand, and soon after a gorgeous young lady walked into the room along with her servant maid. Looking at that face that he yearned for day and night, Gao Ling choked, as though something was stuck in his throat.
In this past year, he never left this rundown yard! Even though that was the case, there were still some people who would deliberately disclose her outside achievements to him. For example, this woman had broken through to be a sky-level cultivator, and also that the G.o.dly Doctor Tian Ya was her disciple...
And just now, he heard that Yun Luofeng took out a bowl of wine last night and helped Elder Rong from the Medical Pavilion breakthrough!
If he had never hurt her in the past, would all her current glory belong to him? Gao Ling regretted it extremely, to the point that his intestines were about to turn green from it. If he could do his life over, he would hold on to her tightly and he would never do things that would make him feel remorse for a lifetime!
"You have actually lived for over a year," Yun Luofeng shot a glance at Gao Ling and lightly smiled, "I thought that you would not be able to endure the torment and commit suicide! It seems like you"re truly craven and cowardly."
He was indeed craven and cowardly, without the courage to commit suicide! Otherwise, he would not have suffered being forcibly tormented for a year and a half.
"Yun Luofeng," Gao Ling"s throat was very hoa.r.s.e, just like a hand that was rubbing on the ground, "If I did not get together with Mu Wushuang, would you have married me?"
"No, I wouldn"t have." Yun Luofeng"s answer was very straightforward, without leaving any leeway.
"Impossible!" Gao Ling shook his head and spoke in disbelief, "You loved me with all your heart back then, so why would you not marry me? If it wasn"t because I had harmed you, you would definitely be my wife."
Yun Luofeng slowly walked towards Gao Ling and the corner of her lips curved up as she spoke. "Do you want to know why?"
Gao Ling nodded his head. He wanted to know why.
Looking at his expression, Yun Luofeng lowered her body and spoke using a volume that only they could hear.
"Because the Yun Luofeng who loved you as such hanged herself after she was heartlessly abandoned by you! I am only a soul from another world that borrowed her body to revive. Therefore, I never loved you."
Gao Ling opened his eyes wide, and his expression was filled with astonishment.
"You…"
Puchi!
Before he managed to finish speaking, the longsword in Yun Luofeng"s hands had already thrust into his chest and ended his life...
