EBE Chapter 597 You Are Different
Chapter 597 You Are Different
Gu Chengxue lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on her pale, bloodless face, and took a deep breath.
He released her, but his hand remained loosely supporting her, his eyes fixed on her every move until she was truly able to stand firmly and no longer drew her knife to harm herself.
"Still uncomfortable?"
Jiang Liqian didn't want to pay attention to him.
She didn't understand why he was still by her side during her most painful time!
"Speak, Jiang Liqian." Gu Chengxue was also a little angry. He cared about her and wanted to take care of her, but she always treated him so coldly.
He didn't even expect her to give him a kind look anymore; he just wanted to know if she was feeling unwell and needed help. Was that too much to ask of him?
Was she really that reluctant in front of him?
Jiang Liqian turned around, pushed him away forcefully, and walked straight to the Five Spirits Carriage.
"Jiang Liqian!"
"None of your business is my business."
"As friends, shouldn't we..."
Jiang Liqian stopped in her tracks, turned to look at him coldly: "Are we friends?" Then she gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Gu Chengxue, I advise you, getting too close to me will not end well."
"I thanked you for escorting me back to my sect last time. If you want anything in return, just ask. I will do my best to repay you. But apart from that, you are you and I am me. Saying even one more word will make me stab you a few more times. Do you understand?"
Gu Chengxue's face turned pale, his eyes filled with anger and coldness. He wanted to say something sarcastic to teach her what "politeness" meant, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single one.
When he was with her, he was like a soft, helpless dumpling, completely at her mercy.
"At least put this cloak on. Your body is too cold. It must be due to forcibly breaking through your cultivation level. You'll need to recuperate for at least a few days to recover your energy." Gu Chengxue resigned himself to his fate. He took out a nine-spirit fox tail cloak with understated yet luxurious craftsmanship from his spatial storage, took two steps forward, and presented it to her.
He sighed softly and advised her, "It's your own body, don't be so hard on yourself."
She paused, then said, "Jiang Liqian, cultivation requires a gradual approach. Even with the greatest opportunities, one must be down-to-earth and build a solid foundation. Being too hasty may backfire and lead to further calamities. There are no shortcuts to becoming an immortal. I don't believe it, and you don't understand!"
Jiang Li listened to him without expression, then asked calmly, "Are you finished?"
Gu Chengxue's words of advice suddenly got stuck in her throat, leaving her feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
"Jiang Liqian..."
"Gu Chengxue, you say I'm impatient and unrealistic, forcing myself. Then let me ask you, have you broken through to a higher realm? What is your current cultivation level? Have you risked your life and abandoned everything to gamble on the path to immortality?"
Gu Chengxue frowned: "I'm different, I am..."
“Yes,” Jiang Li smiled sarcastically, “you are different, but Gu Chengxue, have you ever thought about why you are different?”
Back when Shi Tou went to the snowy plains of Beidu to find her, he felt extremely sorry for her and told her to go find Gu Chengxue. He also solemnly reminded her that only by going to find him and having him take her back could she possibly see her master one last time.
She truly only saw her master one last time.
At that moment, she suddenly realized something—Gu Chengxue and she, and all of them, were different.
He was exceptionally handsome, a rare beauty even in the fertile and spiritually rich world of cultivation. Born into a first-rate cultivation family, he was pampered and privileged from a young age. Without any hardship, he was already the young master of the Gu family with limitless potential. His spiritual root was an extremely rare Chaotic Heavenly Spiritual Root. Coupled with his extraordinary talent and comprehension, he was the future leader of the second-best cultivation sect in the world, a potential leader of the righteous path...
Justice is precious and unattainable!
Whatever he desires, there must be a divine connection.
Whatever he desires, he will surely provide.
Shen Qingqing told her in her previous life that she was the destined heroine of this world, with all the luck concentrated in her and the world revolving around her. So what about Gu Chengxue, who resolutely betrayed her and chose to be with Shen Qingqing?
Who could he be?
it goes without saying.
What ordinary people strive for is nothing more than what they can easily obtain.
What right does someone like him have to lecture her like this?!
He had no idea what she had lost, what kind of suffering she had endured, or how much pain she was in!
Gu Chengxue's face paled little by little under her mocking and ridiculous gaze. He subconsciously took a step back in embarrassment, then stood there blankly for a long time without saying a word.
Jiang Liqian lowered her eyes, took the cloak from his hand, turned around, lifted the carriage curtain, and sat inside.
"Can you leave now?"
"Since you lured me out with Ayou, don't waste any more time here."
Gu Chengxue looked down at his empty hands. For some reason, instead of feeling relieved, he felt even more distressed.
To her, was he like this cloak—dispensable, or even an obstacle...?
His knuckles clenched tighter and tighter as he strode toward the carriage. As he leaped onto the seat, he paused, still unwilling and full of grievance: "I'm not the kind of person you think I am... and not all of those things are what I want—Jiang Liqian, when you feel pain, I'm not a numb blockhead either."
The car was completely silent, as if the person he was thinking about didn't even exist inside.
Gu Chengxue wanted to explain something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know where to begin.
Those who should be closest to each other are now speechless, like complete strangers.
After a long silence, he said in frustration, "Do you really understand me?"
"Jiang Liqian, have you ever really thought about truly understanding me...?"
The wind blows and leaves fall; the mountains drift away with the water.
The coldest winter is coming.

Gazing at Qimingzhai, which was almost reduced to ruins, Jiang Yueming remained in a daze for a long time. He stood blankly beside the mostly collapsed Qimingzhai for a long, long time before he remembered to go and find Qingzhi to demand an explanation.
"How could you..." A lump formed in his throat, making his eyes sting with tears.
He had searched so frantically for the entrance to the outer realms, only to find it right under his nose at Qimingzhai. His unwavering commitment for the past five hundred years had turned out to be a colossal joke!
How could he treat him so cruelly?
They still have such a long-standing brotherhood!
Unexpectedly, Qingzhi actually smiled at him for the first time ever, a very faint, very weak smile, full of sarcasm.
"The most dangerous thing is the safest thing; the thing you want most is the thing you can't hold in your hand; the darkest place is under the brightest light."
"Senior brother, why be angry? If Junior Sister Zhuang were still here, she would be very happy that it was you, her most beloved master, who guarded the entrance and upheld peace and well-being in the human world!"
"After all, they are so noble, while we are only fit to look up to them in humility!"
