You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Chapter 316 I Promised

Gu Qingwen listened to Qin Ran's heartfelt words but remained unmoved.

Her personality was very eccentric.

When outsiders come to her for help to remove curses, she makes demands that they must comply with.

She would never compromise if the other party was unwilling.

"All that you just said was just an excuse for not killing this demonic cultivator. If you're not willing to do as I say, then please leave," Gu Qingwen said arrogantly.

Qin Ran's expression grew increasingly grim.

This old woman is so stubborn.

He had been holding back his temper and trying to reason with his wife.

But the other party showed no appreciation whatsoever.

Qin Ran's anger grew stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Jing Guwu came over: "Grandma Jiu, I was here before, did you...?"

"Don't try to get close to me. So what if I remember you? So what if I don't? You want to plead for him? Too bad you're not qualified. I'm an old woman who always does things my own way. I don't give face to anyone." Gu Qingwen glanced at Jing Guwu.

Jing Guwu swallowed hard.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't find the words.

He had originally intended to plead for Qin Ran.

It seems there's no chance.

Now it's all up to Qin Ran's fate.

Looking at Qin Ran again, she changed her respectful attitude and looked at Gu Qingwen expressionlessly: "Senior, you have your principles, but I have mine. Since we both have our own ways of doing things, why don't we find another way to solve this?"

"How do you want to resolve this?"

"Let's have a contest. If I win, you'll remove the curse from my senior sister. If I lose, I'll immediately take her away and never bother you again. What do you say?"

Gu Qingwen laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, this is my territory. It's not your place to tell me what to do, and no one can break my rules."

"If I don't want to, killing me won't do any good. You can stay or leave as you please, it's up to you."

After saying that, Gu Qingwen leaned on his dragon-headed cane and prepared to go into the house.

Qin Ran was completely out of options now.

This old woman is really stubborn.

"Senior, please wait a moment, we will grant your request." The speaker was Ji Ruyan.

After hearing this, Gu Qingwen turned around and looked at Ji Ruyan.

Qin Ran was utterly shocked: "You... what did you just say?"

"I said I'm willing. Do as you ask, senior. Kill me to save your senior sister's life." Ji Ruyan's face was expressionless.

Qin Ran froze on the spot.

He couldn't believe that Ji Ruyan could say such a thing.

He was truly impressed by him.

Why?

Ji Ruyan gave a bitter smile: "In this world, every cause has its effect. In this life, a person can only truly make a few choices."

"My parents died in a car accident. My master, the Crimson Demon, took me away and accepted me as his disciple. Later, I found out that he was a demonic cultivator, but I had no way out."

"Although we are called master and disciple, in his eyes I am just a pawn."

"What you said earlier is correct. I have done some bad things over the years. Although I was not in control of myself, it was indeed what I did."

"I suffer every day, I am exhausted, and my heart is already riddled with holes."

"I often think about what I would be like now if my parents were still alive. Unfortunately, all of this will eventually become a dream."

"Now an opportunity is presented to me, and I am willing to dedicate myself to it, as a way to redeem myself before I die."

"Besides, I miss my parents very much, and I want to go find them. Go ahead and do it, grant my wish, and also grant your senior sister's wish."

Qin Ran's expression was complicated after hearing this.

Ji Ruyan's words kept echoing in his ears.

He sympathized with the other person and admired their courage.

Qin Ran really wanted to save Su Qingyi; she was her senior sister, and she couldn't just not save her.

But he would definitely not be willing to kill Ji Ruyan in order to save his senior sister.

As the saying goes, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold."

If he kills Ji Ruyan, he will likely live with guilt and remorse for the rest of his life.

As he meditated, Qin Ran forced a smile: "Now that you've said that, do you think I'll still make a move?"

"Qin Ran, what I just said came from the bottom of my heart. I didn't mean to evoke your sympathy. I'm really prepared. Before I die, please let me do one good deed."

"Making one isn't enough. I need you to make ten or a hundred. If you die now, that would be too easy for you." Qin Ran looked at Ji Ruyan.

"You don't want to save your senior sister anymore?" Ji Ruyan asked back.

Qin Ran said, "Of course I want to, but I won't sacrifice other people's lives to achieve my own goals. Let's go, let's look elsewhere, I'll find a way to remove the curse eventually."

After speaking, Qin Ran walked to the wheelchair.

Everyone was looking at him.

His eyes held both admiration and helplessness.

Qin Ran squatted down and looked at Su Qingyi: "Senior sister, I believe you will support my choice. I will not give up. Qin Shaohuang swears that for the rest of my life, even if I have to travel to the ends of the earth, I will find a way to save you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ran pushed his wheelchair, preparing to leave.

Seeing this, the others simply followed.

This trip was a complete waste of time.

I thought it would go smoothly, but it turned out like this.

Gu Qingwen kept watching their backs as they walked to the door, and then she suddenly spoke.

"Wait a moment."

Everyone quickly turned around.

Qin Ran hesitated for a moment before turning around.

He had given up hope.

Because he already has new plans.

"Senior, is there anything else?"

"Old woman, I've changed my mind. Push her over here."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

That old woman is really something else, she keeps coming up with new ideas.

Qin Ran, however, calmly pushed Su Qingyi to Gu Qingwen's side.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Gu Qingwen sighed: "Alas! You are all kind and compassionate people who know how to think of others. I saw your attitude and your determination, so I changed my mind."

Qin Ran clasped his hands in thanks again: "Thank you!"

"The Wuwang Kui Xin Gu is very difficult to cure. It does not use Gu worms to control the afflicted person. The demonic path uses ancient witchcraft to control the afflicted person's soul and consciousness. To cure the Gu, we must remove the curse from your senior sister's soul and consciousness," Gu Qingwen said.

Qin Ran nodded repeatedly: "Senior, if I may ask, how exactly should it be done?"

"I will set up an array later and use my divine sense to enter your senior sister's sea of consciousness to remove the curse from her soul and consciousness," Gu Qingwen said to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran's expression was complicated.

Gu Qingwen has actually acquired the ability to invade with divine sense.

The so-called "divine consciousness invasion" is the use of one's own divine consciousness to enter the divine consciousness of another and to perceive everything about that other person.

Furthermore, it can also tamper with the other party's consciousness.

Those who can reach this level naturally possess considerable cultivation.

Qin Ran also knew that he did not yet possess such an ability.

Then, Qin Ran pushed the wheelchair and followed Gu Qingwen into the house.

Everyone else was waiting outside.

After entering the house, Gu Qingwen began to set up the formation.

She's about to start doing it.

This process must be completely quiet, without the slightest disturbance.

Even the slightest disturbance would be a fatal blow to Su Qingyi.

After completing all the preparations, Gu Qingwen sent Qin Ran outside.

No one may enter the house without her permission unless she leaves.

After hearing this, Qin Ran obediently went out.
