As she spoke, Gu Shengyin’s expression turned sullen:
"It was also Master Ning Yuan who made realize that I am the Heavenly Lone Star. It turns out those curses weren’t rely words—they were true, I really am an ominous person."
"For a long ti, my greatest wish in life was to call Master Ning Yuan ’master’, but I cannot."
Gu Shengyin’s expression was sowhat complex: "Because I am the Heavenly Lone Star, a master-disciple relationship is too intimate and would harm him."
"As I slowly learned what being the Heavenly Lone Star ant, I worriedly asked Master Ning Yuan if our close relationship would affect him. The master said it wouldn’t. He told we don’t have a substantial master-disciple relationship and we don’t live in the sa house. Besides, he cultivates rit, so hostility affects him very little."
Gu Shengyin covered her face: "At the ti, I really believed him."
Yan Zi, seeing her like this, suddenly thought of the abrupt news of Master Ning Yuan’s death.
"When the news of Master Ning Yuan’s unexpected death ca, I had just completed a task."
"My first thought then was, I might as well take the sword in my hand and stab myself to death."
Gu Shengyin’s lips revealed a trace of a smile: "Soone like shouldn’t have co into this world in the first place."
Yan Zi’s eyes were already reddening.
She had never known that this colleague, who always walked ahead of all exorcists, hid such profound pain deep inside.
"That’s how it ended up."
When Gu Shengyin spoke to the end, her tone had cald down: "I’ve learned to control my emotions, no longer having any contact with anyone. All I can do is not cause harm to any innocent people."
Yan Zi stared blankly at Jiang Lan sitting across from her.
This young girl’s complexion was as pale as ever, her expression always indifferent, like her unapproachable aura.
Suddenly Yan Zi asked, "Can I give you a hug?"
Gu Shengyin looked up in surprise, and before she could speak, she sensed a shadow descending, and then a strong embrace enveloped her.
Gu Shengyin moved a bit uncomfortably but did not break free.
Yan Zi hugged for just a mont before releasing her.
She smiled at Gu Shengyin: "Well, it seems we won’t be able to be friends in this lifeti."
Gu Shengyin also smiled faintly: "I’ve long said, Jiang Lan doesn’t need friends."
Yan Zi had heard her say this many tis, but this ti, it felt completely different.
Perhaps it wasn’t that she didn’t need friends, but more that she couldn’t have them?
To love soone, to want to be close to soone, is to push them towards death.
How painful!
Yan Zi shrugged, seriously looking at Gu Shengyin: "Actually, you really are a good person."
Gu Shengyin raised her eyebrows at her.
Yan Zi chuckled: "You know about the foolish thing I did in a past life. When I tried to be friends with you this ti, you didn’t agree. Thinking about it, I actually saved my life."
If Jiang Lan really wanted soone’s life, I’m afraid no one could stop her.
Gu Shengyin did not deny it, she just said: "If I truly wanted your life, I wouldn’t need to use such sneaky thods."
This was the confidence of the First Exorcist Jiang Lan.
