Chapter 2245: Who Is Su the Beauty?

The two people in the yard kissed for a long time before parting.

Su Yunling looked down at the person leaning in his arms and asked, "So, you’re not angry with me?"

Gu Zhiqi listened and mumbled softly, "Who said I’m not?"

Instantly, Su Yunling’s heart tightened.

"You clearly promised to wait for me to come out of seclusion, but when I came out, you were not there. You don’t know..."

You don’t know how angry and devastated she was at that time.

Clearly, she had already thought of a way to save him, but she was still a step too late.

When she came out of seclusion, he had just finished his sacrifice.

If she had come out any later, she feared she wouldn’t have even found a remnant soul.

Hearing this, Su Yunling could only murmur softly, "Sorry."

Besides apologizing, he didn’t know what else to say.

He also knew that at this moment he should give her a promise, but he couldn’t.

Because if something similar happened again, he might... still make the same choice.

Hearing Su Yunling say "sorry," Gu Zhiqi was a bit dissatisfied and looked up at Su Yunling, saying, "I told you not to apologize to me again."

Su Yunling was speechless.

Gu Zhiqi lowered her gaze, carefully interlocking her fingers with Su Yunling’s, "At that time, I was indeed very angry, and even thought about erasing my feelings for you, sealing all memories of you, but I couldn’t bear to."

"Later, I thought it through. Many times, I wondered, if I were the Lord God of the Mystic Realm, what would my choice be when the world was in trouble?"

"At that time, my answer was, I wouldn’t care about the masses, I just wanted you."

"But now, my answer has changed."

"Love that disregards the masses is too selfish, and that’s not what I want."

As Gu Zhiqi spoke, she tightened her interlocked fingers with Su Yunling’s, slightly tilting her head to look up at Su Yunling, "If I were the Lord God of the Mystic Realm, my choice would be the same as yours. If I was born with a responsibility, then I’ll protect the masses, but among them, there is also you. I want both you and them to live."

"Before meeting you, the best people I met were my master, senior sister, and senior brother. They taught me how to stay alive, taught me how to cultivate."

"Later, I met you, and I discovered something they didn’t teach me, but I learned it from you."

As Gu Zhiqi spoke, she smiled at Su Yunling, then wrapped her hand around Su Yunling’s waist, "My Su the Beauty, he’s very kind."

"The world is indeed very terrible, but there are always people who patch it up, and my Su the Beauty is one of them."

"So, just keep being kind, you don’t need to change at all."

"I really like it."

Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s words, Su Yunling fell silent.

A few seconds later, he suddenly asked Gu Zhiqi in a sour tone, "Who is Su the Beauty?"

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

**

Gu Zhiqi explained many times to Su Yunling about who Su the Beauty was, but Su Yunling always felt that Gu Zhiqi might be lying to him. In the following days, he would occasionally ask again.

In the end, Gu Zhiqi took him for a fight, and only then did he stop asking.

After Su Yunling came out of seclusion, although he had become a Ninth-order Cultivator, his memories of this world were sealed. Gu Zhiqi checked for a solution but couldn’t think of one, so he temporarily let it be, pulling him along to help train the ancient martial artists.

Training ancient martial artists was a long process, and in this way, seven or eight years passed.

Both Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling endured to the Ninth-order Peak, and the first batch of ancient martial artists finally completed their training.
