Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 432: You Don’t Blame Your Master?

Gu Ningyue held the steering wheel, and as she turned at the next intersection, she suddenly chose a quiet little road: "If you’re going to say that, then there’s something else I need to tell you."

Ling Tianyou’s heart skipped a beat: "About whom?"

The car drove out of the city, and there were far fewer people. Gu Ningyue thought for a few seconds: "About me."

Ling Tianyou inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief: "Mm, go on."

Gu Ningyue organized her thoughts: "Do you remember Jin Chenglong? After being dismissed, he’s been busy with his shady businesses. You probably already know this."

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Is he causing trouble for Ji Qianqian again?"

If that’s the case, then his audacity is extraordinary.

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "He’s not causing trouble for Ji Qianqian, but he’s gone after Shangguan Wuyue. He asked me to have Shangguan Wuyue treat his brother, but Shangguan Wuyue’s temperament... In the end, Jin Chenglong shot and injured Shangguan Wuyue. Now Shangguan Wuyue is furious, and the consequences are serious."

Ling Tianyou was a bit puzzled: "But what does this have to do with you?"

Gu Ningyue sighed, these are the sins I’ve committed: "I asked my mentor, Shangguan Wuyue’s conditions last time were not met by Lu Qingqing, and now Shangguan Wuyue has said, as long as he gets revenge for the shot, he’s willing to treat Ji Qianqian. In a way, last time was also my fault, for the Blood Jade, I inadvertently ruined Ji Qianqian’s chance to become normal. If possible, this time I want to help Ji Qianqian become normal."

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue’s slightly sorrowful eyes, "What do you want to do? If you need my help, I can help you. But the price, is for you to come live with me at home."

Gu Ningyue then remembered, that’s right! Ling Tianyou will soon be going back to live there.

Having just gotten rid of Gu Zheng, she’s now going to face Ling Chengyang, which she really doesn’t want to.

Most importantly, she can argue with Gu Zheng, but she doesn’t dare with Ling Chengyang.

Unless necessary, she couldn’t do so.

"When are you going back?" Gu Ningyue was silent for a while, looking at the last bit of the sunset asked.

"Not sure yet." Ling Tianyou shook his head: "There’s a lot going on at the company these days, maybe working late hours, plus we haven’t set our engagement date, and there’s also the need to custom-make the dresses. If I go back now, it’s tiring running back and forth, so I thought I’d wait until after the engagement to move back."

"Oh, I see." Gu Ningyue said thoughtfully: "Have you told your parents?"

Ling Tianyou said: "No, I’ll wait until you come home with me to say. My parents will understand, don’t worry."

As he spoke, he gently patted her head like comforting a child.

Gu Ningyue didn’t dodge, just turned her head lightly to glance at him: "Have you seen Tianze later? How is he?"

Somehow, it felt like even a rehabilitation center couldn’t save someone who didn’t want to quit. Although that day in the detention center Ling Tianze spoke genuinely, but looking back, if he really wanted to change completely for his family’s sake, wouldn’t it be more reassuring for him to stay in the rehab for a while?

However, perhaps she was overthinking?

After all, one shouldn’t measure others by oneself.

"Went once, he didn’t want to see me." Ling Tianyou smiled bitterly: "Probably, still resents me for not letting him return home!"

Gu Ningyue thought for a while, comforting: "It’s okay, he’ll... understand that you were doing it for his good."

Ling Tianyou turned his head, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window and said faintly: "Maybe. Liu Liu went to see him, if she hadn’t brought Xiao Xuan, he might have refused to meet too. Ever since he touched that stuff, Tianze seems like a different person."

Gu Ningyue sighed: "Everything will get better, for Xiao Xuan’s future, we must endure a little."

Ling Tianyou responded, no longer speaking.

He understood the reasoning, but whenever he thought of Ling Tianze’s desolate face, he still felt sad.

As darkness completely descended, Gu Ningyue’s car showed no signs of stopping.

At the moment, it was not just outside the city, but even farther than the suburbs.

Ling Tianyou joked: "You’re not planning to take me to a remote place and bury me alive, are you?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at him lightly, her eyes showing a faint hint of murderous intent: "You’re quite right, it’s a perfect night for killing and arson."

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, staring at Gu Ningyue’s sudden change, feeling a bit bewildered.

After a while, Gu Ningyue suddenly laughed: "What’s wrong? Are you scared? I’m just joking."

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "I’m just surprised, at your age, why is there such an aura of killing about you? In a previous life, how many people did you kill?"

Gu Ningyue’s fingers tightened on the steering wheel, "Many, so many I’ve lost count..."

Ling Tianyou was silent for a moment, then asked her: "Have you ever blamed your mentor? If not for her, you might have had a better life. You could have pursued a career you wanted, even if ordinary, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Ningyue interrupted him: "If not for my mentor, I might already be dead."

"You know? My mentor picked me up. My parents died early, barely leaving me a penny. Without my mentor, do you think I would still be alive? Sometimes, just being alive is already a blessing."

"Of course, someone like you, born with a silver spoon, might not understand."

Not being Gu Ningyue, she didn’t need to play the role of the Gu Family’s young lady, momentarily, it felt like the distance between them had widened to thousands of miles.

"I can try to understand." Ling Tianyou clasped his hands together, "What was it like the first time you killed someone?"

Gu Ningyue recalled the events of that time, her voice tinged with sadness: "Very nervous, also quite embarrassing. In the end, my mentor had to do it for me."

Ling Tianyou asked: "Can I ask why?"

Gu Ningyue smiled: "Of course, it’s been a long time, even if I tell you, it doesn’t matter. It was an old man who used to have a lot of power in that area. He bullied others, colluded with both sides of the law. Not only did he defile women, but he also... Anyway, he did many appalling things. In the end, karma came back, and the debts from when he was young had to be repaid when he was old. His estate was divided among unfilial children, leaving him with no one to care for him. The people he used to trample on found my mentor, offering fifty thousand for his life.
