"You have a secret you want to tell me? Is it to protect your child's life? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
Xuan Ya hurriedly nodded.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively and said: "Don't tell me that secret just yet, I actually want you to know my decision first"
He looked at her and sincerely said: "I won't kill your child, no matter what secret you tell me, this will not change"
Xuan Ya froze, then slowly understood.
— — if I tell her the secret, after that, everything Gu Qing Shan does will seem like she was only willing to do it because she obtained the secret.
But now, Gu Qing Shan has made a decision ahead of time.
This way, the two of them would no longer be exchanging secrets for lives.
Exchanging secrets for lives is actually a type of trade. To put it bluntly, it's a form of threat and coercion.
— — when the secret was right in front of him, this man very sharply noticed it.
This was actually a very subtle matter, so most people wouldn't care too much about it and would only choose to listen to the secret first.
Xuan Ya looked at Gu Qing Shan with a complicated expression.
This man … isn't willing to use threats and coercion to decide the life and death of his child.
Then, why is this man telling me the contents of his conversations with the previous kings in front of me?
Not allowing her to think any further, Gu Qing Shan had already begun to explain:
"Xuan Ya, I want you to understand something first, we don't just kill anyone"
He slowly continued:
"If we need to rely on the life of a three-year-old child to solve our problem, it would only prove one thing: We are a bunch of useless trash — — Boss, what do you think?"
Boss scoffed and replied: "You're too long-winded, that's how it is"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto Jang Young-ho.
Jang Young-ho cleared his throat: "There are three things that my hitman guild doesn't kill, pregnant women, children, and elderly people"
Gu Qing Shan turned to Lola.
Lola smiled sweetly: "Whoever Gu Qing Shan says to kill, that person is an enemy of the Bramble Bird Kingdom"
Gu Qing Shan looked at Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li took out a can and gave it to Boss, then said: "When we're in a group fight, I actually prefer to play a support role, because that's a role that really tests my control — — I don't really like killing people right now — — unless I'm wearing a mask"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze returned to Xuan Ya and slowly said:
"As you can see, we don't like to threaten others, and we won't kill your child. We just want to make a friend, not a passerby who can be abandoned after using each other."
After a moment of silence, Xuan Ya said something else.
Ye Fei Li translated: "She said, have you always been this stupid — – pfft — –"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
Stupid?
Everyone looked at Gu Qing Shan with a strange look in their eyes.
Gu Qing Shan didn't change his expression at all and sincerely said: "In truth, I've killed countless people — — more than all of your kings combined"
"I'm quite similar to Ying Hao, both of us are passionate about killing"
Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword from the void of space and stared at the blade.
A faint killing intent exuded from both him and the sword.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "To put it simply, those who truly use swords are basically the same as me"
Hearing that, Xuan Ya appeared a bit confused.
— — -those who truly use swords?
Gu Qing Shan continued: "The sword is split into two blades, one for killing, and the other for saving"
"Under my sword, none of those who deserve to die shall live, and none of those who deserve to be saved shall die — — - even if they die, they shall be brought back to life"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan held the sword and lightly bowed to Xuan Ya:
"Very soon, I will revive you, I hope that you will be able to stand on our side in future battles"
"If you see me killing people like flies in the future, please be mentally prepared."
Xuan Ya stared at him in shock for a long while before she managed to speak.
Ye Fei Li translated: "In truth, when you helped her take care of her child, she already felt that you could be trusted, but she was worried that you would be too kind, so she couldn't make up her mind"
Kind!
Everyone once again looked at Gu Qing Shan with strange looks.
Gu Qing Shan glared at them.
Everyone regained their senses and turned to Xuan Ya.
What kind of eyes does this woman have?
Everyone silently thought.
However, Lola slightly nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Gu Qing Shan didn't seem to want to say anything else, Xuan Ya continued.
Ye Fei Li translated: "She asked if the golden ring that belonged to the king is in your hands"
"It is" Lola hurriedly replied.
She returned the ring to Gu Qing Shan with a strange blush on her face.
— — -back in the God of Life's ruin, when Gu Qing Shan had to temporarily leave, she gave this ring to her.
Now it had been returned intact.
Xuan Ya stared at the golden ring and seemed to sigh in relief.
She nodded and continued.
"She said that she now understands who you are, and has also made up her mind to face this battle together with you, hoping to make a final stand for all the Demis of Calming Soul Country"
"How do we do that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"She said that there are a total of four rings in Calming Soul Country, one is the King's Ring, the other three are the Ring of Protection"
"When these four rings are gathered together, they will be able to command all Demis from the soul"
Dong!
Gu Qing Shan could hear her own heartbeat.
This is a true secret!
Gu Qing Shan quickly realized and asked: "The four fake Gods were originally Demis, so they are also within the scope of command?"
"That is correct. She said that you now have a King's Ring and a Ring of Protection, so as long as you find the other two rings, you will be able to command them to give you what you want"
"The four Gods don't care about this, because if the royal family and the guardians touch them, the monsters will definitely come for revenge"
"That's why this method can only be used once"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "Once is enough"
If I can really command the four Gods, collecting all the Water God tablets would be a simple matter!
Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances with the others, feeling like they finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Regaining his composure, Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down.
He asked Xuan Ya: "At noon today, the coronation ceremony for the new king will be held — — so will the four Gods really appear at this time?"
Xuan Ya nodded and told him.
Ye Fei Li translated for him: "She said that the four Gods will never gather together, unless it's an extremely special occasion"
"This time, because the royal family has basically been wiped out, leaving only the last of their bloodline, the four Gods will definitely appear at the same time to host the coronation ceremony for the new king"
"Because of that, this will be the only chance to meet the four Gods"
While listening, Gu Qing Shan slowly nodded.
"Thank you for your information, your secret is extremely crucial to us" he sincerely said.
Xuan Ya appeared hesitant to say something, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said something.
With how sharp of a person Gu Qing Shan was, she didn't wait for Ye Fei Li's translation and immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your child's safety"
"No, she hopes that you can save all the Demis of Calming Soul Country"
Ye Fei Li continued: "Although it's unreasonable for her to ask you for such a favor, the Demis are innocent, so she hopes that you can save them all"
Gu Qing Shan appeared troubled and said: "It won't be easy to save so many people, and the Demis have always been kept in the dark and don't know anything — — at the very least, they need a leader to cooperate with me"
Xuan Ya simply replied.
Ye Fei Li continued: "She asked if you can really resurrect her"
Gu Qing Shan used her inner sight to scan her Thought Sea, only to see the Heaven sword trembling slightly inside.
Luo Bingli had just woken up and was yawning.
Gu Qing Shan silently apologized to Luo Bingli in her mind, then replied: "… Yes, I can resurrect her"
Xuan Ya nodded, then told her something else.
Ye Fei Li appeared surprised and translated: "She said that the prince is only three years old, not yet a minor. According to the kingdom's laws, his immediate family must take his place as the ruler"
"She has always been in contact with the other two Guardians, getting along very well with each other"
"She said that in this world of Calming Soul Country, the Demis have all heard about the Guardians and know that there are Guardians in the kingdom, but no one knows who they are"
"She said that she is a Guardian, as well as the king's mother, as long as she stands up, she will be supported"
"— — she is willing to become the Regent of Calming Soul Country"
"She will lead all the Demis and fight alongside us!"
