After much persuasion, Gu Fan and Lu Yi have really talked until their mouths went dry, but they still couldn’t convince Ouyang Jin, feeling that this ti Ouyang Jin is determined not to act as the guide.
Lu Yi got angry and grabbed Ouyang Jin by the collar, shouting, "Earlier you worked for the Dark Lord, I thought you were just enduring humiliation and burden, always believing you were the kind of person afraid of death; otherwise you wouldn’t have risked so many tis with us. But now I am very disappointed in you, the fate of the whole world is in your hands, and you actually turn a blind eye."
"Then what do you want to do, my wife and kids are in the Dark City, can I dare to gamble?" Ouyang Jin shouted back: "Before, I was all alone, I only had to feed myself, but now I can’t, I bear the responsibility of a man for a family."
Hearing this, Gu Fan and Lu Yi fell silent, feeling they truly pressured Ouyang Jin too much.
However, the matter is of great importance, Gu Fan just said flatly: "I understand you, Ouyang Jin, I also have a family, and I don’t want my actions to bring danger to my family either, but at this point, it’s no longer about just one family or one surna, it concerns the whole world."
Gu Fan walked to Ouyang Jin’s side and patted him on the shoulder: "Old friend, if you help the Dark Lord and Proud Sai harm the whole world, your na will go down in history as infamy, and your children will also be despised by society. We ca into this world not just to survive, but to live well and live without regrets."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jin looked up, staring blankly at Gu Fan as if pondering Gu Fan’s words.
Lu Yi urged him: "Stop looking, Gu Fan even gambled the lives of his son and daughter, if this battle fails, Xiaojin and Leng Feng will perish on the battlefield, and your old friend , so I ask you, will you stand by and do nothing?"
"Let think about it." Ouyang Jin thought for a long ti, still unable to make up his mind.
Gu Fan asked another question: "I want to know one thing, when I, Lin Xi, and Su Hui were stuck in the past unable to return to our original tiline, but coincidentally you took a travel group through ti to travel to the past, was this travel plan your idea, or the Dark Lord’s idea?"
This ti, Ouyang Jin raised his head in astonishnt, staring at Gu Fan dumbfounded as if asking, how did you know?
"As expected!" Gu Fan seed to have guessed sothing, his expression becoming a bit more solemn.
After weighing it repeatedly, Ouyang Jin still refused Gu Fan; he truly didn’t dare to gamble, especially thinking about his children still growing up.
"I’m sorry, Gu Fan, if the Dark Lord finds out that I acted as your guide, bringing you into the Dark City and triggering a war, I..." Ouyang Jin wanted to say more, but saw Gu Fan motioning for him to stop talking.
Gu Fan just said calmly: "The Dark Lord already knows, because what I’m doing now is exactly what he did before, aning the Dark Lord knows I ca to ask you to be the guide, and he even wishes for you to guide us so the ultimate battle can happen."
"What do you an?" Ouyang Jin found it hard to comprehend, this was too complicated.
Lu Yi seed to understand: "Oh, the Dark Lord is now waiting for us to attack, so everyone can fight heartily, but Ouyang Jin, you don’t guide us, this ruins the Dark Lord’s hopes, and you will be held responsible."
Ouyang Jin refused to buy this: "Pah, you all can concoct any reason to deceive into guiding you."
Still talking back and forth without making any sense, Lu Yi had already rolled up her sleeves, ready to continue grabbing clothes and pulling pants.
Gu Fan continued to persuade: "Brother, do you know why the Dark Lord sent you to the past, to bring us back from there? He was hinting at you, to help us."
"Even this can be forced together, I’m impressed." Ouyang Jin gave a thumbs up, but it was useless.
This made Lu Yi anxious, without Ouyang Jin’s guidance, everyone would have no confidence in attacking the Dark City, should they forcibly press Ouyang Jin?
But Gu Fan was quite confident: "Brother, I believe you will agree soon."
"Oh, why?" Ouyang Jin was sowhat curious, wanting to see what else Gu Fan had up his sleeve.
Previously, Gu Fan showed a aningful smile and then said another sentence: "The reason is simple, I ntioned it before, I’m now doing exactly what the Dark Lord once did, so the Dark Lord must know I’m here asking you to be the guide, and yet you stubbornly refuse."
Ouyang Jin nodded: "Right, just because the Dark Lord knows you’re eting , so I’m even more afraid to betray the Dark Lord."
"Let’s make a bet." Gu Fan’s lips curled upward, giving an impression of deep and unfathomable intentions, making Ouyang Jin nervous inside.
Although Ouyang Jin was extrely wary, repeatedly telling himself not to be curious, not to fall for Gu Fan’s trick, ultimately he couldn’t suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked a question: "What kind of bet do you want to make with ."
Gu Fan smiled: "Let’s bet, if the Dark Lord truly wishes for you to be our guide, the Dark Lord will definitely know what you fear, and will surely send your family to a safe place. If the Dark Lord really does this, then please don’t hesitate, obediently be our guide."
"Alright!" Ouyang Jin very cheerfully agreed, secretly delighted, the Dark Lord couldn’t possibly do such a thing.
Suddenly the phone rang, almost making Ouyang Jin jump.
"Who’s calling at this late at night." But when Ouyang Jin picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, he was instantly terrified, his eyes fixated on Gu Fan.
The person calling at this ti was none other than Ouyang Jin’s wife, how co she didn’t call earlier, or later, but precisely when betting with Gu Fan.
"Answer it!" Gu Fan crossed his arms, looking very calm.
Ouyang Jin’s hand was slightly trembling, he answered the call, and then heard his wife’s familiar voice.
It turned out that the Dark Lord deliberately arranged for Ouyang Jin’s family to reunite in a small town, instead of always staying in the sunless Dark City.
Now Ouyang Jin’s wife is on the way with a few children to et up with Ouyang Jin.
"Oh my god!" After hanging up the call, Ouyang Jin looked at Gu Fan with an incredulous gaze.
Gu Fan smiled again: "So, wasn’t I right? You’re the guide who is recognized by both and the Dark Lord, if you don’t go, you’re opposing us both."
"Alright, you guys are impressive, you win." At this point, Ouyang Jin started to believe what Gu Fan was saying.
Lu Yi was so happy she almost jumped up and hugged Ouyang Jin: "That’s great, brother, I knew you would co to your senses, our hard-love was not in vain."
