”Eldest brother.” Gu Jue's eyes were red like he had lost his soul as he looked at Gu Lang. Gu Hua Wei's death filled him with guilt towards this girl he had only known for a day, ”I will never forgive myself.”

He used the heart of a villain to guess at such a little girl.

The hidden pain in his heart also told him that the love for acting in the beginning was not fake. That girl might be cute and beautiful, but in his eyes, he could put up a show with her, but he definitely wouldn't let a girl like her escape with them!

They were rivals, a relationship that used each other to their advantage. Initially, their goodwill was only to make up for her guilt when she died, so what did a short alliance count for?

”She's dead.” He lightly stated this fact. He would not let his two younger brothers be immersed in the calamity caused by a beauty, even if that was when he saw Gu Hua by the seaside. His master had personally praised her beauty.

”Shut up!” Gu Ming finally came back to his senses in a daze. Gu Jue didn't understand Gu Lang's schemes, but that didn't mean that Gu Ming didn't know either. Gu Ming knew this, but he had no choice.

It was only when he met the Taotie in the great hall and told her that he would protect her, that he discovered her faintly melting heart. He did not know how much effort a little girl had to endure to become so cold and detached, but he only knew that at that moment, he truly regretted it.

But, one was just a passerby they had just met, the other was a brother who had lived for so long, everyone knew who they should choose. But, one was just a passer-by they had just met, one was a brother who had lived for so long, everyone knew who they should choose. No one would be willing to die for another.

Except...

Except for that fool Gu Hua Wei.

How good their acting was to have fooled such a girl.

He had never thought that one day, he would also become someone like Gu Lang. The so-called chivalry and righteousness, the so-called noble and noble character, would all be shattered into pieces here. What exactly were they chasing after?

”The formation core has been opened.” Gu Lang was the clearest. When he saw that more and more clouds had appeared in the sky, a smile finally appeared on his face. A huge whirlpool had appeared in the clouds, and Gu Lang fiercely used his spiritual energy to tie up Gu Jue's struggling figure, trying to jump down his sword.

At the moment when they knew the truth and no one was going to stop them, no matter how much regret they felt, it was all unnecessary because people were all selfish.

Gu Lang's heart trembled slightly when he saw Gu Ming laughing with a dull gaze behind him. A bad premonition made him not dare to stay any longer. He rode his sword and pierced through the vortex that had appeared out of nowhere.

The whirlpool within the clouds finally closed, and silence engulfed every corner of the area like a tidal wave.
