The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

"My fifty taels of silver!"

"I've struck gold! Haha, the world's number one assassin really has the skills!"

Gongsun Hongdie stood there blankly, staring at Lan Xiaogu who was celebrating with An Qingwan and the others, and staring blankly at An Qingwan who was stroking Lan Xiaogu's head.

She seemed to see not An Qingwan and Lan Xiaogu, but a gentle mother and a cheerful daughter.

She had long felt that this world did not belong to her.

Now she felt an even more piercing loneliness.

next time?

Is there a next time?

"Miss……"

Uncle Yang's voice was already ringing in my ears.

Gongsun Hongdie turned around stiffly, her face already covered in tears.

Why doesn't anyone treat me like that? Why?

She wasn't questioning Uncle Yang, she wasn't questioning anyone.

Uncle Yang couldn't answer.

Gongsun Hongdie suddenly drew her sword and fled.

She escaped the crowd, escaped Jiangxinzhou, escaped Yufu.

She ran until her injuries worsened, until she could barely move her limbs, until she finally collapsed from exhaustion.

This is an uninhabited wilderness.

She thought she would probably die here.

But she should have died long ago.

So she slept very soundly, so soundly that she hoped she would never wake up again.

But Gongsun Hongdie is destined to be unlucky today.

Her wish was dashed once again. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in someone's arms, in the arms of someone she would never have imagined.

"An Qingwan?!"

P.S.: Thank you Night Wind Feather for the knife.

I was planning to update earlier today, but my mom had a spinal problem and I took her to the hospital. She'll need to go to the hospital again in the next few days, so the update time will probably be irregular.

Seventy-eight An Qingwan is mine! [2.5k]

Gongsun Hongdie once thought she was dead.

If she were still alive, how could she have seen An Qingwan?

This is clearly illogical.

An Qingwan should be celebrating with Lan Xiaogu and the others right now.

They celebrated killing two birds with one stone, both eliminating the bloodthirsty demon Ran Ping and defeating her in the final battle.

After rubbing her eyes several times, Gongsun Hongdie found that An Qingwan still hadn't disappeared.

She was stunned.

What the hell does this happen?

She couldn't understand it anymore.

"Am I a human or a ghost? And are you a human or a ghost?"

An Qingwan said, "You are a human being, and so am I."

Gongsun Hongdie asked, "Then how did you end up here?"

An Qingwan said, "After you left, I followed behind you, but your mind was in turmoil, so naturally you didn't know I was following you. It wouldn't have been difficult to follow you, but you always chose those muddy and secluded paths. I can't see, so I could only follow the sounds. I've suffered quite a bit along the way."

So that’s it?

Gongsun Hongdie then noticed.

An Qingwan had no injuries, but her clothes were torn in several places, and her snow-white boots and socks were discolored by mud and water. The most disheveled thing was her hair, which still had a few fallen leaves stuck in it.

Gongsun Hongdie sneered: "I didn't ask you to come along. You're just asking for trouble."

An Qingwan smiled and said, "But I had no choice but to come along."

Gongsun Hongdie asked, "Did Lan Xiaogu send you to find me?"

An Qingwan said, "No."

Gongsun Hongdie asked in surprise, "So you came here for Moyu Valley?"

An Qingwan said, "No, not exactly."

Gongsun Hongdie asked, "Then what for?"

An Qingwan said, "For you."

Gongsun Hongdie's heart skipped a beat: "For me?"

An Qingwan said, "So that you won't try to kill yourself."

Gongsun Hongdie's body jolted, and tears welled up in her dark eyes.

"How...how did you know I wanted to die?"

She really didn't know how An Qingwan could tell that she was determined to die.

An Qingwan said, "Because of the sword, your sword is already dead. The sword belongs to the swordsman, and the sword intent belongs to the swordsman. When a swordsman's sword dies, it means that the swordsman is also about to die."

Gongsun Hongdie asked in astonishment, "Just because you know this, you want to follow me?"

An Qingwan said, "It is precisely because I know this that I have to follow along."

Gongsun Hongdie asked, "Why?"

An Qingwan said, "I don't want you to die, I only hope you live."

Gongsun Hongdie said, "Are you afraid that Lan Xiaogu will be heartbroken after learning of my sister's death?"

An Qingwan said, "I'm afraid I'll hurt myself."

"You're saddened by my death?"

Gongsun Hongdie found it unbelievable.

How could anyone in this world be saddened by her death?

The person who would be sad for her was actually An Qingwan, who had been comforting Lan Xiaogu earlier.

Is she really not dreaming?

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and her breathing was becoming rapid.

She couldn't help but ask cautiously in a low voice, "Why are you sad?"

An Qingwan said, “I have met many swordsmen, including some whose swordsmanship is ten times better than yours, but their talent in swordsmanship is far inferior to yours. Your sword is the purest sword. Your sword is not just a sword, but your embodiment. How can I bear to see someone like you pass away?”

"I see."

Gongsun Hongdie suddenly felt lost.

This answer is actually very reasonable.

An Qingwan has only met her twice so far. What other answer could there be besides that?

But she still couldn't help feeling lost.

Gongsun Hongdie said, "What you said makes perfect sense, but you have made a huge mistake."

An Qingwan asked, "What's wrong?"

Gongsun Hongdie said, "You are too confident in your guess. I never wanted to die. I was just in a bad mood because I lost the duel and wanted to come out to clear my head. Okay, now you can let me go."

She struggled to stand up from An Qingwan's embrace.

She was standing very steadily.

She didn't tremble at all, not even her voice.

"I came here just to be alone. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. Lan Xiaogu is definitely still waiting for you."

An Qingwan did not move.

Gongsun Hongdie clenched her fists and said, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

An Qingwan said, "I can't leave yet."

Gongsun Hongdie stared intently at An Qingwan until her emotions suddenly erupted.

"You say you don't want me to die, but we're not related. What right do you have to care about me? And why should I care about you? Go away, go away now. I don't want to see you again. Seeing you will remind me of Lan Xiaogu, and thinking of Lan Xiaogu will make me hate you!"

Under her scolding, An Qingwan finally left.

After a few rises and falls, it disappeared into the night rain.

Footprints remained on the ground, but the person was gone.

Gongsun Hongdie stared at the footprints for a long time with her mouth slightly open, then suddenly knelt down in the rain with a thud.

She covered her face, which was already soaked with sweat.

Won't be coming back.

The only person who cared about her will never come back.

She thought that her heart had died completely when she stabbed Lan Xiaogu with the first sword, and that she would never feel heartache again.

But she was wrong.

She will still feel pain.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, she was already planning to die.

"My sword! My sword!"

Gongsun Hongdie groped around on the ground and finally found her sword.

But just as she raised her sword to commit suicide, footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.

She turned around, but the familiar face still greeted her.

"An Qingwan?!"

An Qingwan stood in the rain, as if she had never left.

"Miss Gongsun, you just said I was wrong."

"I..." Gongsun Hongdie stammered, "I really didn't want to die just now, I've just changed my mind, I..."

An Qingwan squatted down in front of her and gently took her hand.

Said nothing.

Did nothing.

Gongsun Hongdie's body stiffened.

Even though An Qingwan's eyes were covered by a thick black cloth, she felt as if she were being stared at by a pair of fiery eyes.

Those eyes were terrifying.

So terrifying was that even though she was wrapped up tightly, she seemed completely unclothed in front of those eyes.

"Yes, I do want to die. I've never felt like I'm alive!"

Gongsun Hongdie suddenly screamed.

"I am the young lady of Moyu Valley, but I wish I weren't. I wish I could switch places with Lan Xiaogu. I wish I never had a mother in the first place!"
