When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Chapter 312 What kind of human tragedy is this

Yang Chong took the Azure Dragon and the Seven Stars that belonged to the lineage of King Zhao from Guo Kai. When he rubbed his fingers, he found that the material was the same as the ones Yang Chong had obtained before. This could not be faked, which meant that this Azure Dragon and the Seven Stars was real.

"Your Majesty?" Guo Kai offered a flattering smile. Although he had been hit by Yang Chong's soul-stealing technique, he had not completely lost his consciousness, and he still had the instinct to survive. He could feel the crisis he was facing.

"It is indeed the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, Brother Guo. Thank you for this. However, I still need to borrow something from you." Yang Chong put away the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon and looked at Guo Kai with a kind smile.

"Does the king have any other instructions?" Guo Kai forced an ugly smile. Tonight was supposed to be a good day for him to take a concubine, but he never expected to meet such a nasty guest like Yang Chong. Not to mention entering the bridal chamber, even his life might be in danger.

Under the intense crisis, Guo Kaifu suddenly said in his heart: "If the king is interested in this beauty, you can use her. Only a hero like the king is qualified to enjoy such a beauty."

As Guo Kai's words fell, Xue Nu trembled all over and looked at Yang Chong almost subconsciously. For a moment, even Xue Nu herself didn't know what she was thinking, whether she was afraid, shy, or expectant. All kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart, making her slowly lower her head. She didn't dare to look at Yang Chong again, but she had already accepted the fate of Yang Chong's existence.

"Alas, actually I don't want to kill you, but someone wants to take your life, so I can only do it reluctantly." Yang Chong naturally would not let Guo Kai continue speaking. Yang Chong had his own plan for Xue Nu's fate. No matter what, there was no need for Guo Kai to nag about it. Letting Guo Kai talk too much would only humiliate Yang Chong's image in Xue Nu's mind.

"Big..." Guo Kai still wanted to beg for mercy, but a spark shot out from Yang Chong's fingertips pierced his head.

Guo Kai's body fell limply to the ground. His death was so easy that it seemed unworthy of his status. But then again, wasn't it an honor for Guo Kai to be able to have Yang Chong personally take action?

With Guo Kai's death, only two breathing sounds were left in the room. When Yang Chong looked at Xue Nu, he thought the girl would be scared, but Xue Nu's reaction was beyond his expectations.

The Snow Girl bravely met Yang Chong's gaze, her eyes revealing a determined passion that made Yang Chong feel that it was the determination of a young girl who was risking everything. Yang Chong read the Snow Girl's thoughts from her eyes.

"Please take me away, my king." Yang Chong originally wanted to ask Xue Nu what options she had, and whether she should play hard to get, but Xue Nu told Yang Chong a firm answer.

"Okay." Under the determined gaze of the Snow Girl, Yang Chong felt that anything he said other than this word would seem extremely hypocritical. When a girl has already gambled everything for you, as a man, do you still need to hesitate?
Only the word "good" is the best answer.

Just as Yang Chong was about to take the Snow Girl away, he suddenly felt a slight movement in the air. The distance was still far away, but Yang Chong could sense it.

It turned out to be an acquaintance, someone who was not convenient to kill directly. Realizing this, Yang Chong could only make a gesture to the Snow Girl and then disappeared into the darkness.

The Snow Girl looked intently, only to see Yang Chong disappear into the darkness. If she didn't know that Yang Chong was right in front of her, she wouldn't even be able to tell that there was someone there, let alone sense a trace of Yang Chong's aura.

"Someone is coming, and he's someone you know. He must be here for you." Just as Xue Nu was puzzled by Yang Chong's actions, Yang Chong's voice came into her ears along the air flow in the room.

"Is there someone?" Upon hearing this, Xue Nu's eyes narrowed, and she almost subconsciously looked at Guo Kai's corpse on the ground, where he died with his eyes open. What if the person who came saw Guo Kai's corpse?
For a moment, Xue Nu felt extremely confused. If Yang Chong’s whereabouts were exposed, would something unpredictable happen?
The Snow Girl felt at a loss and looked to Yang Chong for help. Now she only hoped to hear good advice from Yang Chong.

But Yang Chong obviously would not tell Xue Nu the answer, because he also wanted to know what the visitor was going to do.

So, when the Snow Girl was at a loss, a woman in black sneaked into the room like a ghost.

"Master?" When the Snow Girl saw the person coming, the panic on her face turned into surprise. The person coming was actually her master, the master who taught her dancing skills and also the master who taught her martial arts. The Lingbo Feiyan and Yangchun Baixue that the Snow Girl controlled were both taught by him.

But the Snow Girl didn’t know what her master’s true identity was.

In the past years, although the Snow Girl followed her master to learn skills, she only saw her master at night, and her master never showed his true face. It can be said that in the Snow Girl's understanding of her master, the black clothes and mask are her master's true body. As for who her master is, she has no idea at all.

"Where is Guo Kai?" The visitor looked at Xue Nu. The veil that only covered the lower half of her face could not hide her brows that were furrowed in surprise and shock.

"He..." The Snow Girl didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only point to the place under her feet, where Guo Kai's dead body was lying with his eyes open.

"Guo Kai?" The visitor looked at the direction that the Snow Girl pointed to, and was horrified. Although she came here for Guo Kai's life, she never thought that Guo Kai was already dead. Who did it?

The man in black looked at the Snow Girl unexpectedly and asked, "Did you kill Guo Kai?"

The Snow Girl wanted to deny it, but then she thought, if she denied it, how would she explain the current situation?
For a moment, the Snow Girl felt that she was caught in a dilemma.

"How could this happen? Snow Girl, why did you want to kill Guo Kai?" The woman in black suddenly changed color. This was not her plan. It was true that she wanted to kill Guo Kai, but she would not allow Guo Kai to die so easily. She wanted to kill Guo Kai in the most cruel way in the world. Not only did she want Guo Kai's life, she also wanted to destroy Guo Kai's heart. But now Guo Kai was dead, and his death was so easy. How could she be willing to accept this?

"I don't want to marry him." In her panic, the Snow Girl could only think of this one reason.

Xue Nu knew very well that she must not expose Yang Chong's whereabouts at this time. If Yang Chong's whereabouts were discovered by her master, either her master would attract the guards outside, causing Yang Chong to be surrounded by the Qin army, or Yang Chong would kill her master to prevent the news from leaking out. Xue Nu did not want to face these two situations. So Xue Nu only had one choice left, which was to take the responsibility of Guo Kai's death.

The man in black listened to Snow Girl's explanation with an ugly look in his eyes. This was so different from what she had imagined. Before she could kill Guo Kai, he was already dead.

However, since things have developed to this point, it can only be done this way. Since Guo Kai has escaped by luck, he can only vent all his resentment on the Snow Girl. This was her plan.

"Snow Girl, do you know who Guo Kai is?" The man in black looked at Snow Girl with malice. She had waited for this day for too long, and now she could finally take revenge.

"He is a traitor to Zhao." Xue Nu said firmly.

This time when she married into the Guo family, she had a mission, which was to wait for an opportunity to take Guo Kai's life and kill this traitor for the people of Zhao.

"No, he is not only a traitor to Zhao, but also your father." The man in black said this coldly.

What? Xue Nu opened her eyes wide upon hearing this, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. How could such a thing be possible? Guo Kai could actually be her father. Is there such an outrageous thing in the world?
In Xue Nu's memory, she was an orphan and was taken in by Madam Li since she could remember. Not to mention a father, she didn't even have a mother. How could this be the case now?
Who is Guo Kai? Although Xue Nu despised Guo Kai's character, she had to admit that Guo Kai was indeed a real dignitary in Zhao State, and one of the top ones. How could such a person be her father?
"He is your father, but after he gained power, he abandoned you and your mother in order to escape his background and marry the daughter of a prominent family. Then your mother became ill due to worry and passed away when you were three years old, and you were taken in by Madam Li." The man in black explained, his eyes full of manly pleasure.

"Impossible." The Snow Girl said in disbelief.

This matter was too outrageous. Not to mention that she was tasked with assassinating Guo Kai, even the fact that she married into the Guo family was even more outrageous. Such a thing could never happen.

"What's impossible? Let Guo Kai take his daughter as a concubine. Then he will know the truth. Wouldn't it be interesting?" The man in black laughed. This was her revenge on Guo Kai.

"Master, why did you do this?" Xue Nu was almost collapsed at this time. Of course, she had no feelings for Guo Kai, the so-called father, but when she thought of what almost happened, Xue Nu felt a chill. If such a thing really happened, she would probably have no better choice than death, and even if she died, her soul would probably not be able to find peace.

"Of course it was for revenge. However, a thief like Guo Kai was so lucky that he escaped the trap I carefully prepared for him. It's still not bad. Although he escaped one trap, he couldn't escape the other. Diing at the hands of his own woman is also a pretty good way to die." The man in black said, seeming to be quite regretful.

"Master, have I been your tool for revenge from the beginning to the end?" The Snow Girl was almost collapsed at this time. Everything she was facing now was actually designed by her own master, and it was such a vicious design. For a moment, the Snow Girl felt that the whole world was about to collapse.

For Xue Nu, Yang Chong was just her extravagant hope, but her master was the one who truly accompanied her in her growth.

It can be said that the Snow Girl has already regarded her master as her closest person. In fact, her master is no different from her parents, and is even closer than her parents.

But now what the Snow Girl heard was that she was just a tool for revenge, and the object of revenge was her father. In particular, the means of revenge were no longer a means of revenge that a normal person could think of.

If Yang Chong had not appeared, and if the story continued as it was, although Xue Nu had never thought of devoting herself to Guo Kai and was ready to die together with him, even so, how could a woman who had killed her own father with her own hands still survive in this world?
The man in black looked at the extremely ugly Snow Girl. The friendship between them in the past had now turned into cruel pleasure. Since Guo Kai was dead, she could no longer avenge herself, but it was barely the same that the account should fall on the Snow Girl. It was only natural that a son should pay for his father's debt.

"You are my tool for revenge, but in the end you just got away with it, Guo Kai, and you died in such an unclear way." The man in black smiled cruelly, with a hint of regret in his words.

Although Guo Kai eventually died at the hands of the Snow Girl, her plan was only half accomplished, which made her quite regretful.

"Master..." The Snow Girl was speechless. At this moment, she felt that the world she had lived in for more than ten years and her understanding of this world had been overturned.

For a moment, the Snow Girl felt so confused that she couldn't even organize her words.

"No, you didn't kill Guo Kai." The man in black observed Guo Kai's body and soon found something unusual. Guo Kai was unharmed, without a single wound, and there was no sign of poisoning on his face. The only wound was on his forehead, and there was no blood oozing out of it. There were only a few burn marks, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even see the hole there.

The Snow Girl's heart tightened when the truth was revealed. Yang Chong's identity was special and must not be exposed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Moreover, once her master knew about Yang Chong's existence, Yang Chong would probably kill her to silence her. Although what her master just said to her directly overturned her worldview, the years of affection still made Xue Nu instinctively not want anything to happen to her master.
However, it is too late to say anything now. The Snow Girl's master is still a master after all, and his insight is really too sharp.

"I killed him, Madam Li. I didn't know that you hated Guo Kai so much. What is your relationship with Guo Kai?" Just when Xue Nu didn't know how to cover it up, Yang Chong walked out of the darkness.

Unlike the Snow Girl who could not see the true identity of her master, the man in black had no way to hide from Yang Chong's master-level perception. Yang Chong naturally had already seen through the other party's identity.

But after seeing through the other party's hidden identity, another problem arose. The exposure of one identity made Mrs. Li more mysterious.

What kind of deep hatred does she have with Guo Kai that makes her use and train various disciples, and even do such inhumane things, just to avenge Guo Kai?
