Zhang Yueying's attack was too fast and inexplicable. Yan Xiaoxiao didn't even know she was there. She was so exhausted that she couldn't react at all.
Lin Jun and Qi Lengxuan stood at the side, but they couldn't stop her in time either. They could only watch the sword stab out.
Gu Nan stood behind Yan Xiaoxiao, expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was heard. Zhang Yueying's sword was knocked away. She looked at the person next to her in a daze, the person she was least wary of.
It was Land Marigold.
"She couldn't have reacted spontaneously. Unless …" Zhang Yueying stared at the woman with a peaceful smile in front of her. "Unless she was on guard against me from the very beginning!"
Everything that had happened along the way flashed across her mind, but she couldn't remember what flaws she had exposed.
It could also be said that Gu Nan gave her so much pressure that she completely ignored Land Marigold.
"You … when did you notice?"
"Ever since you purposely showed your approval of the Green Dragon Hall and not your intention to rebel," Lu Zhanyu said with a smile. "That's not what you said when you were being hunted."
Zhang Yueying was stunned. She finally remembered that on the battlefield, she was sworn to be enemies with Blue Dragon Hall.
When she found out that Gu Nan and Qi Lengxuan were old friends with Blue Dragon Hall, she deliberately adjusted her own inclination. She made it seem that her rebellion was just because she didn't like the actions of the higher-ups, but because she respected the old Hall Master.
She didn't expect that the subtle contradiction between the two would become a failure.
But … it was too far-fetched to suspect her just because of this!
"It's enough to have a little suspicion." Land Marigold sheathed her sword unhurriedly. At the same time, she glanced at Gu Nan, who was still expressionless.
She believed that Gu Nan had also noticed this. After all, she was the one who suffered from him first.
Yan Xiaoxiao also recognized Zhang Yueying. She did not know what happened after she was trapped. She frowned slightly and said, "Zhang Yueying, why do you want to kill me?"
Zhang Yueying knew that she had no chance, so she stopped pretending. She sneered and was about to speak, but Gu Nan suddenly spoke.
"Let someone else answer this question."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already abruptly vanished, and then immediately reappeared. He was actually carrying a figure in his hand, and it was precisely Zhang Yao who had appeared before.
As time passed, Gu Nan's control over the Power of Shadow grew increasingly proficient. A junior like Zhang Yao, who had just become a Transcendent, was completely helpless before him.
When Qi Lengxuan saw Zhang Yao, his expression immediately changed, "Traitorous disciple! You … "
Gu Nan waved his hand, signaling him to shut up. He pointed to Zhang Yueying and said, "You've been waiting for this day for a long time since you arranged for her to stay in Blue Dragon Hall, right? Your sister? Or your daughter? "
Zhang Yao gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. Twenty years of planning was just about to succeed, but because of the return of the person in front of her, everything became a bubble!
"Do you want to know?" She revealed a cold smile, and there was no sign of retreat between her brows. "Even if I die, I will bring this secret to the Underworld. Don't even think about knowing it for the rest of your lives!"
Crack!
Gu Nan casually twisted her throat, a baffled expression on his face. "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. You make it sound like I have to know."
"Mother!" Zhang Yueying's sorrowful cry exposed their relationship.
"Are they really mother and daughter? Looking at their age, they should have been born at thirteen or fourteen years old. "Gu Nan rubbed his chin, completely ignoring Zhang Yueying's hateful gaze.
In the next moment, the shadows began to entangle her body, like pitch-black tentacles, pouring into her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, completely sealing off her five senses.
"What are you doing?" Land Marigold looked at him in confusion, and so did Yan Xiaoxiao.
"I need her to live for a while." Gu Nan restrained Zhang Yueying with ease and chuckled. "If she realizes and commits suicide, it will be troublesome."
"But … why are your movements so familiar?"
…
After taking care of Zhang Yao, Gu Nan could only wait for this mission. With his Transcendent strength, this kind of mission was a waste. Fortunately, he did not care about the mission reward, only the size of the mission plane.
Gu Nan sat alone on a hill, quietly looking at the night sky in the extreme north. A light breeze blew, and a figure was already standing behind him.
"Teacher."
"Your power is actually wind?" Gu Nan turned around and looked Yan Xiaoxiao up and down, then shook his head. "No, it's more like a more detailed rule."
Being able to elevate a skill to the level of "rule" at grade 3 was a characteristic of extraordinary talent, and also a privilege of NPCs.
Just like Gu Nian's "Mapping", if players had this rule, at grade 3 they would at most have "Space Folding", "Precise Positioning", and so on.
At this time, Yan Xiaoxiao was the same. She had already found her own path from the pure "wind".
In comparison, the players were much more miserable. Even a contestant like Gu Nan, who had participated in the second round, could only take it one step at a time.
Of course, Gu Nan's understanding of the various rules and skills was not something they could compare to.
"As expected, I can't hide it from Teacher." Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and said, "So, Teacher, did you hire people to kill my family back then?"
This change of topic was too sudden, but Gu Nan did not stop. As if he was asked a question like "Have you eaten tonight", he opened his mouth and answered.
"Yes, I hired Mo Jiaqi." Gu Nan nodded. "At that time, I did not expect that twenty years would pass in the blink of an eye. Is it because of the Ming Lou's files?"
Yan Xiaoxiao's expression was solemn as she nodded slowly.
It was precisely because of the appearance of the Plane Jump that the reincarnators left one by one. When Yan Xiaoxiao and the others began to take control of the world, the old matters gradually surfaced.
However, now that things had come to this, Gu Nan really did not care about this matter anymore.
Selling an NPC was really not a big deal to him. If Yan Xiaoxiao had second thoughts, then he could just kill her. What was the big deal?
Since she had brought it up herself, it was obvious that she had other intentions.
Hearing Gu Nan admit it himself, Yan Xiaoxiao only lowered her head, her body in a state of tension. After a long time, she finally let out a light breath, her face showing a look of relief.
"Do you want revenge?" Gu Nan had a playful smile on his face.
Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head lightly. "I am not a match for Teacher, nor am I a good person. I do not have the ability to take revenge, nor do I have the motivation to do so."
The smile on Gu Nan's face gradually disappeared. "It seems that these twenty years of training have made you smarter … So, what exactly do you want?"
