C18 A Vow to Never Give up

Of course, no matter how Dong Yan tried to persuade him, he would never leave the girl in front of him.

"I said it already, there's no need. You don't need to help me. Why are you still so persistent?"

"This is completely meaningless!"

Dong Yan seemed to be very angry, using all his strength to explain to Gu Fan.

"Yeah, why would I be so persistent? Hur Hur."

Gu Fan smiled slightly.

"But calm down, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have fallen to such a state. It was just a 'misunderstanding' before, and now you're lying here in such a sickly state. How could I not insist!"

"No, this matter can't be blamed on you!" Dong Yan hurriedly explained again.

"I didn't say it was your fault. It wasn't your fault anyway, it was all my fault, understand?!" I shouldn't have kicked you out of my house because of that incident. I'm sorry, it's my big brother's fault! "

"I know. I lied to you, but I mean no harm. I just …"

Dong Yan was choked with sobs, he did not repeat the words that made everyone who heard feel heartache.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. Big brother, I'm going to tell you the truth now!"

"Truth? "What?"

Gu Fan raised his head and looked at the girl from another world with a head full of fog.

Seeing Gu Fan's actions, Dong Yan knew that he had said something that he shouldn't have said.

"This … In short, I ran back to your apartment because I didn't want you to get hurt. Those people are merciless demons! "I've already been chased out by you. I don't want to leave anything behind, so I'm going to take that feather hairpin as well. I'm afraid that that thing will implicate you …"

Dong Yan, who was so excited that he wanted to finish his words in one go, seemed to have seen something terrifying. He swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.

Gu Fan looked at Dong Yan's face inside the quilt.

A demon that would kill without blinking an eye? Don't want to see me hurt? And the hairpin?

Gu Fan could tell that there were still hidden troubles, waiting for Gu Fan to experience it for himself.

"Do you understand?" She endured her pain and asked Gu Fan with an apologetic tone.

Such a calm voice was different from the cheerful Dong Yan Ling of the past, which allowed people to understand her "determination" even more.

"It's my fault, asking to get to the bottom of this!" Gu Fan said in his heart.

To Gu Fan, he did not care about what kind of trouble Ling Tian had. No matter what kind of history it was, Gu Fan would definitely not abandon him. As long as they could defeat their "enemies" and protect the safety of the Dong Yan, there was no need to worry about why the Dong Yan would say such words.

"Do you really understand?"

The young lady called Dong Yan Ling asked again.

As if he had realized something, Gu Fan replied like this:

"I have a feeling that I've been cheated."

He felt like a pitiful person who had been tricked by an outsider.

"That's the answer you want, isn't it?" Gu Fan asked.

"That's what you think. In short, don't do anything stupid for me. Do you understand?"

"That's because …"

Even if he understood why the Dong Yan would say such words, the Gu Fan did not give any further explanation.

"Mm, you're right." On the contrary, Dong Yan Ling laughed and said: "I always thought like this, you don't have to do so many things for me, I don't need you, do you know, for you to return to a normal person's life is the best."

Everyone, of course, had their own ideas. Gu Fan knew very well that Dong Yan did not want to involve him in this matter at all, but Gu Fan was already deeply involved and was unable to extricate himself from it.

"About that, why don't we change the topic and not talk about such a serious topic?"

Gu Fan wanted to ease the atmosphere.

"Say it, what do you want to talk about?" Dong Yan looked at Gu Fan.

"About that, let's just talk about your world. What exactly is going on?"

"Why do you want to hear this all of a sudden? I told you it had nothing to do with you." Dong Yan still maintained the attitude that it has nothing to do with you.

"Just treat it as telling a story. There's no need to be so serious. Hur hur. Alright, just tell me about your world's system first!"

Faced with Gu Fan's insistence, Dong Yan could only compromise and, as if she was telling a story, added the words "a long, long time ago" before the first sentence.

"Originally, we were connected with your world. The Taoist world and the real world are the same world, but as the real world continuously evolves, new ideas slowly appear. For example, opening up your mind and suppressing the emperor's thoughts, which resulted in your Taoist thoughts being unable to develop normally, so they can only be split."

Dong Yan didn't know how to phrase it.

The gradually splitting Taoist world, without its connection to the real world, is unable to develop, so people gradually forgot everything in the real world, and focused on studying mana and alchemy. Gradually, in the late ninth century, the alchemy idea took shape, and the final book's prototype appeared, the Yin method and Yang method.

Dong Yan took a breath and continued:

"After that, we separated from the real world, forming a new world, which was the alchemy world 'Eastern World'. Cultural customs and etiquette basically stayed in the Tang Dynasty, but the progress of civilization is not inferior to the development of the real world at all. Our world also has lamps and daily necessities, and they are only a substitute for differences."

"Even today, the influence of alchemy still occupies the core position in the Eastern World. However, the ruler of our world is not the person with the greatest alchemy skill, but someone who has reached the highest level in his understanding of alchemy. He is called 'Ji'."

"And some people don't agree with this system, so they want to use it against it."

Dong Yan Ling acted as if he was suing for his own grievances and difficulties:

"In order to resist the influence of 'Ji', some people began to study forbidden techniques. Gradually, they began to focus their attention on that item!" She continued, "Forbidden arts are the power that is formed by the opinions and beliefs that are not acknowledged in the thoughts of alchemy. For example, Forbidden arts are also known as" Forbidden Techniques "," Forbidden Techniques "," Restraint ", and" Forbidden Techniques "are different from" Air Forbidden "and" Incantation ", and these types of power are all sealed in some alchemy scriptures and only have one key that can be opened!"

"That, the Book of Termination?"

Gu Fan replied with a question back.

"Yes." Dong Yan Ling lightly nodded:

"The 'End of the End' book is just a key. Although the 'End of the End' book also has a great power in it, that power is only a form of protection. It is not destructive at all, but if the key is used properly, then the forbidden art will be liberated!"

Gu Fan looked at the mirror beside him and looked at himself.

It seems that my abnormal behavior has something to do with the Book of Termination!

He hadn't thought that this young girl in front of him would have such a huge secret within her body, just like him. However, she had a hellish experience that was a hundred times more painful than his own.

"But, since we know that you're the key, why didn't the justice side of the Eastern World protect you and instead allowed you to 'run' away?"

"What is important is not me, but the 'key' within my body. Hmph, the righteous side is eager for me to die. They uphold the principle of sacrificing the interests of small individuals to maintain the balance of power."

"That's why I 'lied' to you. That's why I don't want others to get involved, because there's no need for that. I don't have the right to be protected, so you don't have to help me." The Dong Yan said.

Gu Fan thought, all of this was just too ridiculous. One side of the Eastern World wanted to protect their own interests, but the other side didn't want to pay the price. This kind of fake peace, a fake balance couldn't be maintained anyway.

"Moreover, the just side is often at a disadvantage." The Dong Yan said sadly: "Usually, the righteous side don't have tough wrists. They are all weak and the evil side are all tough and can only compromise."

It was more of a bluff than a weak side of justice in the Eastern world.

"Besides, as I've told you before, it's fine if a good person gets the End Book, but if you let a bad person get it, it'll be troublesome."

Dong Yan squinted his eyes and said, "Even if the righteous side were to start a war with the dark faction, the victorious side would only be the dark faction. This is because the communication line led by the ruler 'Ji' is simply unable to defeat the dark faction.

"Since they are already so strong, why do they still need the Book of Ending?"

Gu Fan continued to ask.

"Because if you want to thoroughly change the Eastern World's system, then you must use the power of the End Book."

The Dong Yan said solemnly.

"Tsk!" "Speaking of which, didn't you say that you could let good people open this book? Why don't you let good people from the Eastern World open it?"

Gu Fan remembered the key that the Dong Yan had mentioned to him.

"How is this possible? Other than me, no one else has even touched this book."

Dong Yan Ling shook his head helplessly.

"Why? Does this thing require a level requirement? "

Gu Fan said, puzzled.

"If such a mysterious thing can be casually used, isn't it too laughable? Just like your abnormal ability, can it be freely given to others?"

Dong Yan Ling asked Gu Fan.

"Tch!" I want to give it to someone else! "

Gu Fan complained in his heart.

In other words, even the righteous ones who knew pill refining techniques couldn't casually open this book.

It was precisely because he knew how powerful his "End of the End book" was that he did not want anyone else to touch it.

Just like the blueprints for the latest weapons.

"Oh!" I think I understand. " Gu Fan thought for a while and said: "In other words, those people all wanted that book, but did not have the ability to open it."

"To have obtained the last book is to have gained the power to change the world."

Gu Fan seemed to understand the meaning of the End Book.

"En!" Dong Yan Ling said with a voice that sounded as though he was about to die: "However, for them to seize this book, it seems that someone can open this book. If they want to open this book, they must possess one of the two conditions."

"What condition?"

Gu Fan eagerly wanted to know the answer.

"The first, is someone standing at the peak of the Eastern World, a supreme alchemist named 'Qing'. The second, is the reincarnation of 'Qing'."

"It is not the Clear Water droplets. Instead, it is the expert who has exerted the power of his Alchemy skill to the extreme. We will respectfully call him 'Qing'."

"Qing!"

"I heard someone say that!"

The Gu Fan subconsciously clenched his teeth.

Looking at Dong Yan, it was obvious that she was not willing to be the sacrifice of this book. Gu Fan thought about the 'Qing' that Chi Chi had mentioned to him.

It was really displeasing to ignore the alchemists who originally had good intentions for her.

And the righteous side who treated her as a "mere victim" was also very annoying. These guys don't see people as people.

However, what made Gu Fan the most unhappy was that even though the Gu Fan clearly saw that the person before him was such a selfish person, why was he still able to think about other people in such a manner?

"I'm sorry."

Gu Fan didn't know what she was angry about at all.

However, Dong Yan Ling's apology truly enraged him.

He lightly rubbed the under Dong Yan's nose.

"Don't be silly! Why does such an important matter always remain in my heart? "

Gu Fan bared his canines as he stared at the patient.

Dong Yan was so frightened that he did not dare move, he felt like he did something wrong again. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth seemed to be desperately trying to say something.

"But, like I said, you have nothing to do with this, there's no need … "And I didn't say that for your sake …"

Dong Yan, who was close to tears, spoke even softer and softer until he was almost inaudible.

In Gu Fan's ears, Dong Yan Ling seemed to have said this: "Moreover, I don't want you to get hurt again."

"Nonsense!" I hear you're bullshitting! " It was as if they could hear the sound of the Gu Fan's blood vessels exploding.

He shouted, "What are you talking about! The secret of the book? The secrets of the Eastern World? Yes, it was indeed very exaggerated! Indeed, no matter how he thought about it, it was as if he was speaking nonsense! Even now I think you're still lying! "

"But, even so …" The Gu Fan paused for a moment before continuing.

"What can you do to me?"

Dong Yan opened his eyes wide.

Her small lips trembled as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.

"Don't take me for a coward! Was it just you who said something unpleasant? When those bastards come looking for me, would I abandon you and run away? " Gu Fan took a deep breath and continued:

"Are you joking? If I were such a scaredy cat, I wouldn't have caused trouble outside by fighting outside. At the same time, I would have kicked you out of the house right from the start!" "I won't acknowledge you as my sister from the beginning!"

Gu Fan roared as he finally understood why he was so angry.

Gu Fan only wanted to help. He just did not want to see Dong Yan Ling getting hurt again, that's all.

However, although Dong Yan said it was not for Gu Fan, in his heart, he still chose to protect her. However, he never allowed Gu Fan to protect him. Gu Fan had never heard her say "save me" before, ever since the first day he saw her.

This point, made Gu Fan very unwilling.

He was very, very unwilling to accept this.

"Why do you always keep saying false words and suffering such grievances and shocks in your heart? Why are you so kind and so silly?"

Dong Yan Ling is my sister. If anyone dares to even touch a single finger of yours, I will fight them to the death with them. I don't care what they are!

It was that simple. Even if she wasn't weak, she still had to protect her. The Gu Fan will persevere and never give up!
