#922 - Neither Being nor Non-Being (VI)

Without a doubt, Wei Changtian's current reaction is abnormal.

Before dying, a person might show nervousness, fear, despair, or even calmness and detachment.

But in any case, a dying person should never look "focused".

Looking at Wei Changtian's expression as if he were waiting for something, Lin Zhi's eyes widened, and a strong sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

Although he didn't know why, he just felt that the man in front of him wouldn't die.

But why?

Wei Changtian clearly had no life-saving treasures on him, nor did he have the slightest power to resist.

More importantly, Wei Changtian was still in the illusion array, and all means of escape were useless.

So, why wouldn't he die?

Why wasn't he afraid?

"You"

The cold sword tip stopped a few inches from Wei Changtian's chest. At this final moment, Lin Zhi finally trusted his intuition.

He gritted his teeth, stared at Wei Changtian, and was about to say something.

But at that moment, an urgent shout suddenly rang out not far away.

"Husband!!"

“. . . ”

Husband?

For a moment, both Wei Changtian and Lin Zhi were stunned and turned their heads to look.

The person who came was none other than Gu Pan'er, dressed in a green dress.

"Huh?"

Therefore, the woman in front of him, who had no internal energy fluctuations and whose appearance could only be considered "outstanding", was definitely not Yang Liushi.

Then who is she?

And how could she find Wei Changtian?

Countless questions flooded his mind. Squinting at Gu Pan'er, who was running towards him, Lin Zhi was ready to fight at any time.

He was very cautious and did not underestimate this seemingly weak woman.

After all, she could not only find Wei Changtian, but also see through the illusion array. How could she really be just an ordinary person?

Frowning, the sword tip moved slightly, and his robe gradually began to swell.

As Gu Pan'er got closer and closer, Lin Zhi's expression became more and more tense.

Even Wei Changtian was now a little suspicious of whether Gu Pan'er had another identity.

Could she be a hidden big shot?

But which big shot would hide in a brothel? Isn't that hobby a bit too strange?

But if not, how else could he explain how Gu Pan'er could find this place?

The moonlight was dim, and the night wind howled.

Wei Changtian and Lin Zhi stared at the suddenly appearing Gu Pan'er, their hearts filled with similar doubts, but their moods were completely different.

After all, no matter what, Gu Pan'er was definitely on Wei Changtian's side.

And if she really was some mysterious expert with a special hobby . . .

"Let go of my husband!"

Another cry was urgent and flustered.

Under the gazes of the two people with their own thoughts, Gu Pan'er passed through the rubble and broken wood at the fastest speed, running towards Wei Changtian without hesitation, and shouted at Lin Zhi as if threateningly:

"I've already reported it to the authorities! The constables will be here soon!"

"Hurry up and get out!!"

“. . . ”

I've already reported it to the authorities.

When Wei Changtian and Lin Zhi heard this sentence, their expressions suddenly became extremely surprised.

Although the two were enemies, their thoughts at this time were very consistent.

Report to the authorities?

Can the government handle this?

This is as absurd as two gangs fighting, and then an elementary school student suddenly jumps out and shouts, "I've already told the teacher."

Not to mention the Linchuan government, even if Jing Guoqing was here, he probably wouldn't dare to fart.

So . . .

After a brief daze, Wei Changtian and Lin Zhi finally understood that Gu Pan'er was not some "hidden big shot" at all, but just an ordinary woman.

Therefore, their eyes looking at the latter became quite strange.

However, Gu Pan'er didn't understand this, and still tried to suppress the fear in her heart, pretending to be fierce and scolding Lin Zhi again:

"Don't hurt my husband!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!!"

“. . . ”

Glancing at Gu Pan'er, Lin Zhi obviously couldn't "get out".

Although the former was no longer a threat, her shouting really made Lin Zhi a little upset.

So, after hesitating for a while, he prepared to kill this noisy woman first, and then carefully ponder how to kill Wei Changtian foolproof.

The sword tip trembled, and the subtle movement exposed his thoughts.

Wei Changtian could see what he was going to do, so he spoke before he could act:

"Lin Zhi, she has nothing to do with this matter. Just knock her unconscious."

“. . . ”

Looking down at Wei Changtian, Lin Zhi frowned.

It could be seen that he was not very fierce, and he probably rarely did things like killing innocent people indiscriminately.

But this time the situation was different.

After pondering for a moment, he stared at Wei Changtian and slowly replied:

"No, now that she knows about the existence of the illusion array, she must die."

"But she is not a cultivator."

"That's irrelevant."

"No room for negotiation?"

"No room for negotiation, unless you tell me what life-saving methods you still have."

"What life-saving methods? I've already accepted my fate."

"I don't believe it."

“. . . ”

Looking at Lin Zhi's serious face, Wei Changtian sighed helplessly in his heart, knowing that Gu Pan'er would most likely not escape death.

According to the general "always keep his word" nature of the Child of Destiny, if he didn't exchange the Pure Jade Pendant and let Lin Zhi kill him, then the latter might really let Gu Pan'er go.

It's just that Wei Changtian would never use his own life to exchange for Gu Pan'er's life, so after the negotiation failed, he stopped talking.

At the same time, Gu Pan'er finally ran close to the two of them.

Pushing Lin Zhi away fiercely, she opened her arms and stood in front of Wei Changtian, her red eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Lin Zhi didn't expect this woman to be so bold, and he was stunned for a moment.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Pan'er hurriedly turned her head to look at Wei Changtian and asked in a trembling voice:

"H-husband, are you, are you alright?"

“. . . I'm fine."

From Gu Pan'er's voice, Wei Changtian could hear the unconcealable fear.

That's normal.

Although Gu Pan'er's personality is different from most women, she is just an ordinary woman after all. Where has she seen such a scene tonight? It would be strange if she wasn't afraid.

And the sentence just now, "I've already reported it to the authorities."

This may sound ridiculous to me, but for Gu Pan'er, this may be the only way she can think of to save me . . .

Looking at the fear and worry in those eyes, Wei Changtian's mood was complicated for a while.

He didn't know what to say, so he just asked inexplicably.

"When did I become your husband?"

"I, I was afraid of exposing your identity."

“. . . ”

Even at this time, she's still thinking about me so much?

A trace of guilt surged in his heart, and at this time, Wei Changtian hoped that Gu Pan'er could be a little more "selfish".

Because he really can't save her this time . . . Huh?

Suddenly, Wei Changtian's eyes froze.

Including Lin Zhi, who was two steps away and had already raised his long sword to stab Gu Pan'er, his face changed drastically in an instant.

Both of them suddenly turned their heads to look in one direction, and then they saw a white figure swiftly passing through the night sky from far to near, and the same sentence rang in their ears again—

"Husband!!"
