I asked you to practice physical skills, not to open the Eight Gates!

Chapter 72, Gu Qingqing's Past
Li Yang took a short rest and then went back to the detention room.

Through the glass, he saw Gu Qingqing still curled up in the corner, her body trembling uncontrollably, looking very pitiful.

"Has she been like this since I left yesterday?" Li Yang asked the person in charge of watching over her.

The guard nodded. "She has been like this since last night. She fell asleep for a while, but she was still like this after waking up."

"She didn't respond when we talked to her, and she wouldn't eat when we brought her food. Maybe you're the only one who can persuade her."

"Even if it's me, it may not be helpful. She just kicked me out yesterday." Li Yang sighed, feeling a headache.

It is not known whether Gu Qingqing’s current state was due to her own inner outburst or because the outburst of the evil poison body affected her mind.

But logically speaking, Li Yang has already cast the Evil Sealing Seal to help her seal the power of the curse, so even if there is any impact, it should disappear.

Why does it always happen like this?
"Then I'll go in and take a look."

Li Yang had no choice but to enter the room again.

The lights in the room were not on and the curtains were closed, making the whole room extremely dark.

"Qingqing? It's me, Li Yang. Can you turn on the light?"

The girl in the darkness raised her head and looked at the vague figure in front of her, her voice trembling,

"no, do not want……"

Li Yang put down his hand that was on the switch.
"Okay, then don't turn on the light."

It’s at least a good thing that Gu Qingqing is willing to respond to him.

"How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

As Li Yang spoke, he slowly walked over, and through the changes in the distance of his voice, he let Gu Qingqing know that he was approaching.

Since Gu Qingqing didn't refuse, he didn't need to stop until he came to Gu Qingqing's bedside and sat down.
"How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"

The girl didn't speak, but Li Yang could see that she shook her head.

Although the dim light made it difficult to see the expression on her face, I could still see her movements from a close distance.

"So... are you scared? Your body has been shaking. People outside told me that you haven't wanted to eat since last night." After hesitating for a while, Li Yang asked.

Gu Qingqing's condition must be clarified.

Otherwise, if she continues like this, let alone whether she can use her power to kill the mysterious tree, she may not even be able to control her own curse power.

But faced with this question, Gu Qingqing did not respond.

Neither speaking nor shaking his head.

Li Yang continued, "Have you ever had any bad things happen to you because of the power of the curse? Have people around you been injured because of the power of the curse?"

He noticed that Gu Qingqing's body trembled.

Obviously, Li Yang was right.

Gu Qingqing had experienced some tragedies around her due to the outbreak of the power of curse.

Now, the power of the curse has erupted again, reminding her of her painful past.

"The power of the curse... is a curse upon me."

Finally, Gu Qingqing spoke in a hoarse voice, with deep sadness,
"The first time my curse power erupted was when I was six years old, killing my grandpa and grandma."

"The second outbreak was when I was ten years old and killed my parents."

"The third outbreak occurred when I was fifteen, killing my little brother, my last remaining confidant."

"I don't know why God treated me like this... If my existence is a mistake, then why did they die instead of me?"

Her voice couldn't stop trembling, filled with anger at the injustice of God, as well as guilt and self-blame for her deceased relatives.

The power of curse is not only a curse on the world, but also a curse on the owner.

Gu Qingqing is still so young, but she has already experienced such a tragic thing.

"Li Yang, kill me... I don't want my curse power to hurt others anymore." In the darkness, the sincerity in the girl's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and reach Li Yang's heart.

Li Yang was deeply shocked just by listening to what she said.

It is hard to imagine how Gu Qingqing, who had experienced such pain personally, had gotten through this journey.

"Although I don't know your parents, I believe that they will never blame you in their hearts." "If they are still alive, they will definitely hope that you can live well, instead of giving up your life because of self-blame."

"Even at the last moment of their lives, they never thought of abandoning you. Why do you want to abandon yourself now?" Li Yang said earnestly.

"The best way to repay them is to live well."

Gu Qingqing stared at him blankly, and the cold dust in her heart seemed to be illuminated by a ray of warm sunlight.

In the darkness, the sound of a girl crying softly was heard.

Gu Qingqing cried.

But Li Yang thought it would be better for her to cry.

Crying is the best way to vent your emotions. It will be very uncomfortable if you keep suppressing your emotions in your heart.

It will feel much better if you cry.

"Cry, just cry."

Li Yang patted her back gently and comforted her softly.

Gu Qingqing's emotions completely burst out, she threw herself into Li Yang's arms, crying uncontrollably.

Li Yang just comforted her silently and let her cry out all the guilt and self-blame in her heart.

The girl cried for a full ten minutes before she gradually calmed down.

The clothes in front of Li Yang were wet with tears.

"Sorry……"

Gu Qingqing raised her head, full of apology.

"Do you want to take a shower? There's a bathroom here."

"Um……"

Li Yang went to turn on the light, then asked someone to bring a set of clothes of the right size to Gu Qingqing and asked her to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

He also had to change his clothes, otherwise his shirt would be all sticky and uncomfortable with his tears.

……

When Li Yang came back after changing his clothes, Gu Qingqing had also finished taking a shower.

At this moment, Gu Qingqing gave people a refreshing feeling.

The dusty and dirty face turned into a handsome and elegant one, with a bit of youthful elegance and ethereality.

But there is still a hint of immaturity in her beauty.

It is conceivable that in another year or two, Gu Qingqing will grow up to be so beautiful.

The cotton shirt on her body was a bit loose, which brought out a bit of cuteness, making Gu Qingqing look quite sweet and lovely, like a girl next door.

The only flaw is her slightly nervous and deep eyes, which contain a sadness different from that of her peers.

"Come over and have something to eat first."

Li Yang brought a lot of food with him.

Gu Qingqing hasn't eaten anything since last night, this won't do.

"Um……"

After crying for a while, Gu Qingqing's mood was obviously much better.

She sat obediently at the table, eating the food Li Yang brought in small bites.

Halfway through her meal, she raised her head, looked at Li Yang, and whispered, "Do you need the curse power in my body now... to kill those mysterious trees?"

"Correct."

"I understand...I will help you."
