170: Chapter 169: Substitute 170: Chapter 169: Substitute Gu Youyou’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at him, her heart filled with astonishnt.
She was, after all, a soul that had traversed through ti.
Could he even know that?
No, no, that’s impossible!
Gu Youyou looked at him and pondered for quite a while before she openly smiled and said, “How could Gu Youyou be so easily replaced?
What nonsense are you talking about?
I am indeed Gu Youyou!”
“Indeed, how could a Four Yin Woman be so easily replaced?” Jin Zijin scoffed coldly.
“I also wonder where they found a Four Yin Woman of similar age to replace her, just a niece, hardly worth the risk for him.
So I guess…
you might be another pawn planted here with so other purpose!
But it doesn’t matter, if you don’t tell , I will find out sooner or later.”
Gu Youyou was stunned for a mont, then lowered her head, shifted her gaze away, and also let out a sigh of relief!
What is this all about?
So he doesn’t know after all.
Heh, then keep guessing!
But this Four Yin Woman…
Gu Youyou could not help but give a wry smile.
She neither understood nor believed in the ghostly and powerful doctrines of the Feudal Divine Association.
In their belief, a woman born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour was what they called a Four Yin Woman, but to her, a Four Pillars Pure Yin woman was nothing more than a coincidence of birth, no different from an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, she was born into an era of feudal superstition.
People here believe in the mystical powers, thus that poor girl was sched against at the age of seven and t such a tragic fate.
Perhaps, Jin Zijin was right—nothing in this world cos for free, especially not life.
Gu Youyou, you’ve picked up a life for nothing, shouldn’t you pay a price for it?
With that thought, Gu Youyou had a sudden realization.
All the accusations she wanted to make against him, the love and hatred from before, now seed unimportant.
The previous Gu Youyou was not her, and the current Gu Youyou was not a woman who fretted over every little thing.
This leap had indeed allowed her to clear away the grievances that had accumulated in her heart.
She laughed bitterly under her breath, raised her head to look at him, her eyes now extraordinarily serene.
Aside from the detached and calmly indifferent smile in those clear eyes, there was nothing else.
She said, “Jin Zijin, thank you for rescuing from the Gu Family and for looking after !
No matter what, the fact that I can speak here with ease today, run freely in the woods, and see the warm sunshine, it’s all thanks to you.
I’ve always kept in mind the kindness you’ve shown .
I may be a little too proud, allowing others to owe but not wanting to owe others.
So, I don’t hate you for using to find those two strange people; consider it repaynt of my debt.
So from now on, we are even, and in the future, you don’t need to think about using anymore…”
She laughed bitterly; after all, what did she have left for him to use?
Hearing this, a unreadable look flashed across the depths of Jin Zijin’s eyes.
He’d suspected she was planted by soone intentionally, perhaps targeting him or maybe soone else.
But no matter who had arranged for her to be there, shouldn’t she be doing everything possible to stay by his side?
Why the rush to disassociate herself from him?
“Pretending to escape to lure one’s prey?
Heh heh…” Jin Zijin sneered with a frozen laugh.
She wanted to retort, ‘Do you think you’re worthy of my pretending to escape to lure you?’ However, getting into an argunt right now seed like a bad idea, so she thought better of it.
“Let go!” Gu Youyou suddenly shouted at Jin Zijin in anger.
She had found a larger protruding rock nearby, and nestled in the crevices of that rock was a sizable pine tree.
Grasping onto it would surely provide her with more security than relying on the unpredictable Jin Zijin.
