Chapter 168 Complete Break
Chapter 168 Complete Break
"no……"
Gu Xizhou felt powerless no matter what he said now, but if he didn't say anything now, their relationship would probably end here.
He doesn't want this...
God loves the world, but He cannot love just one person, nor does He want to do so.
"Gu Xizhou, you are always like this. You don't know how to refuse, but you don't respond to people either. You always say no, no. So, tell me, what result do you want?"
Gu Xizhou lowered his eyes and didn't look at Pei Zhiyi. This was the first time he had dealt with love affairs, and he didn't know how to choose between responsibility and love.
It seems that no matter what choice I make, it will be wrong.
Looking at Gu Xizhou like this, Pei Zhiyi already knew the result.
"Let me give you the answer."
Pei Zhiyi patted Gu Xizhou's shoulder, a smile playing on his lips. "You can't let go of your responsibilities, and you don't want to give up on me either, but how can you have the best of both worlds? Even if you give me an answer now, we will eventually disagree over it."
"I can't go against my own will and follow what you call the right path. I might as well make it clear today that you and I will only be opposites."
"Why are you so sure that we will be enemies?"
Gu Xizhou suddenly looked up and grabbed Pei Zhiyi's shoulders, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Pei Zhiyi felt a little pain when he was grabbed, but he never said a word. He just told him the reason very calmly.
"Because I'm not the kind of person who would give up my principles for someone I've only liked for a short time. I admit that I do like you a little, but this liking isn't enough to make me give up everything I'm about to get for you. I'm myself first, and then the me who likes you second."
Pei Zhiyi finished speaking and pulled away Gu Xizhou's somewhat exhausted hand. Seeing his absent-minded look, he felt like sighing, "You are a high and mighty God. You protect the world and choose to take on your own responsibilities. That means you are destined to follow a different path from mine."
"You denied me the option of choosing you from the very beginning."
"Because I really don't have confidence in you and your feelings."
Pei Zhiyi couldn't feel how much Gu Xizhou liked her. You said he was a person who was good at forbearance, but no matter how forbearing a person is, if he likes someone, there will always be some clues.
But Gu Xizhou didn't.
He may like himself a little, but he loves everyone in the world more.
Such people are indeed worthy of respect and love, but they will never learn how to love only one person.
"You don't have to waste any more time here, because I can't go back with you. Jiang Wuyang should have wanted to kill me a long time ago. After all, I have influenced you for a long time."
Pei Zhiyi turned around and said, "You and I both know very well what we want. In that case, you should go back and protect your people in the world as soon as possible."
Gu Xizhou behind him remained silent. He was usually eloquent, but once Pei Zhiyi's affairs were involved, he was a little at a loss.
After a long while, Gu Xizhou finally spoke: "Since you have made your choice, I have no right to interfere."
"Not only did I make a choice, you also made a choice in this moment."
Gu Xizhou smiled self-deprecatingly, looking somewhat depressed.
"You're right about one thing. Jiang Wuyang has indeed wanted to kill you for a long time. As for why he wants to kill you, you should be able to guess the reason."
Gu Xizhou placed a piece of iron on the table. "My benefactor, we have known each other for so long, and I have concealed and deceived you in many ways. But what I want to tell you is that I like you and am attracted to you. It has never been a lie."
"This is also my first time experiencing love, and the first time I've felt so lost about a girl. I really don't know how to balance responsibility and feelings, which is why our relationship has reached this point. This item will be beneficial to your cultivation. I don't dare to think about when we will meet again, or under what circumstances, so consider this my way of repaying my benefactor."
The next time we meet, we might be at war.
"I do not need."
"What you need."
Gu Xizhou only left behind these last four light words and then disappeared in the inn.
Pei Zhiyi never felt his breath again.
"This is a good thing."
Shen Yun took the thing that Gu Xizhou had brought down and weighed it in his hand. "Although I cannot tell what this thing's specific function is, judging from the material it's made of and the spiritual energy it exudes, it's definitely not an ordinary item."
Pei Zhiyi glanced at it nonchalantly, "How could something given by a God be ordinary?"
"That's true."
Shen Yun looked at Pei Zhiyi. This was the first time he saw a different expression similar to sadness on the face of his optimistic apprentice.
"If you really can't bear to let him go, why bother saying those things to him?"
"There's no such thing as giving up." Pei Zhiyi has always been very calm and clear-headed in this regard. "If there's no result, continuing it is just a waste of time. Since there's no result, it's better to end it early. It's better for him and me. What the future will be like, neither he nor I know."
There is no need to ruin your future for an uncertain future.
"Master, now that this matter is settled, I feel much more relaxed."
"I, the master, never imagined that the God who governs order and law would be attracted to you. To have such a desire, which shouldn't be aroused, is not a good thing for him."
"So it's best for me to cut it off."
Pei Zhiyi curled his lips, his expression unremarkable, "Master, from now on, I'll just continue on my journey of training."
If she chooses to break up with Gu Xizhou today, then a series of troubles will follow, and she urgently needs to improve her strength so that she can deal with some troubles that may occur in the future.
"Why, don't you want to stay in the main city anymore?"
"There's no benefit in staying here any longer, and the life and death arena in the main city can no longer help me."
After fighting a few ring matches, he collected the power of faith and appreciation from the demons below the ring, but this was not enough, far from enough.
"Then let's go to the magic city of my old friend."
"Master will also make friends with the demons?" Pei Zhiyi felt that this was nonsense after he said this, but since he had asked it, it didn't matter whether he got the answer or not.
"Sometimes the demons are purer than the humans. In their eyes, strength is paramount. There aren't too many intrigues and twists and turns, so it's more comfortable to get along with them."
"I agree with that."
“But it’s not absolute.”
Shen Yun laughed out loud, "Okay, let's go now."
