Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 18 In Darkness, Yet with Hearts Turning Towards the Light

Gu Qinghan only began to resemble a young girl after leaving her mother.

He felt completely free and leaped past Xu Tianyi.

"Wow, young master Xu, you're so skilled, yet you run so slowly..."

Xu Tianyi was somewhat unconvinced: "So what if your internal energy is a little stronger!"

"Tch, I'm about to become a Grandmaster, of course I'm amazing, aren't you envious? You're only a Martial Master Level 3... Hey... how come you're already Level 6?"

"Oh, such a small breakthrough is nothing to worry about..."

Gu Qinghan chuckled: "It's really nothing to mention. When I was eighteen, I jumped directly from Martial Master to Martial Spirit. You can't learn that..."

Xu Tianyi felt somewhat helpless after hearing this.

Judging from the background story, Gu Qinghan did indeed have a sudden enlightenment, and her cultivation level soared.

But he still retorted defiantly:

"It's fake! It's all fake! Your cultivation level is definitely very weak..."

Gu Qinghan smiled smugly: "I'll show you later..."

This was the first time she had ever felt so happy interacting with others.

In the past, I had only encountered young masters from noble families, or maids and subordinates.

She actually has no friends.

For example, Cui Sanniang always treated her like a princess or a younger sister.

For example, Liu Lian always maintains his composure and speaks in a very gentlemanly manner.

Other servants and elders also couldn't confide in her.

Therefore, she has never liked to talk and is somewhat aloof.

Unless they encounter Ning Hongye, the two are attracted to each other because of their internal energy and bloodline.

You can tell from just a few words that the other person will become your friend.

Therefore, Gu Qinghan and Ning Hongye cherish each other very much.

Xu Tianyi was different. He proved with his abilities that he could treat her as an equal, but he was not as cautious as he was with the princess.

They chatted casually, and Gu Qinghan could even feel his tolerance towards her.

He didn't care about anything, from sparring to his own little temper tantrums.

Therefore, at this moment, Gu Qinghan felt as if she had found a friend she could be comfortable with and trust, and she was even happier.

Compared to Ning Hongye, she felt more comfortable with Xu Tianyi. After all, Ning Hongye's past and the taboos in their conversations made her somewhat uncomfortable.

In particular, he couldn't tell her about the origins of the scars on her body, or about his own background.

That's why she would joke around with Xu Tianyi, who knew about each other's backgrounds.

Xu Tianyi didn't care. Girls are fun to flirt with, it's quite enjoyable.

They're practically family, and having a younger sister isn't bad either.

The two laughed and joked as they recklessly scaled walls and rooftops in the street.

The surrounding people were in an uproar, and the constables dared not stop them when they saw the scene.

Would someone who acts so arrogantly on the street really go up and deliver it himself?

Clearly, they're going to the Qian family's place.

. . .

"We're here! Watch me!"

Xu Tianyi sprinted while laughing.

Gu Qinghan chuckled, "Alright, let me see what you're capable of..."

The Qian family's gatekeepers were stunned. When they saw a man and a woman rushing towards them aggressively, they immediately turned around and closed the gate.

"boom!!"

Xu Tianyi immediately delivered a stylish Bruce Lee flying kick.

The gate shattered, and the servant who was closing it behind him was also thrown out, coughing up blood and dying.

"Hurry up and follow me, I'm going straight to open his treasure vault!"

Gu Qinghan had never done anything illegal or criminal before, so she naturally felt incredibly excited.

Years of education had made her unable to take action, but she kept telling herself that she could act recklessly just this once, so she continued to stick close to Xu Tianyi for the time being.

As Xu Tianyi continued his assault, his speed increased rapidly.

Anyone who tried to block his way was either knocked away or killed with a single sword strike.

He quickly leaped over the inner courtyard gate.

Almost instantly, the sound of countless crossbows echoed from the inner courtyard.

Gu Qinghan panicked and hurriedly tried to step forward to protect him, but unexpectedly, Xu Tianyi also activated his protective true qi.

This surprised and delighted her.

He charged into the crowd and began a wanton slaughter.

Gu Qinghan suddenly felt it was somewhat cruel; killing was something she couldn't bear to do.

Xu Tianyi didn't care about anything else. After a while of fighting, a terrifying hissing sound came from the treasure vault courtyard in the inner courtyard.

"Qinghan, don't hold back! The Qian family is very likely feeding those abducted girls to the demons! Did you hear that? That's the sound of the demons emerging from seclusion!"

Hearing the voice, Gu Qinghan felt a mix of worry and fear.

She was a pampered young lady. Even though she was exceptionally talented, she lacked experience, so it was normal for her to feel discouraged when faced with unfamiliar things.

Just like that day, Xu Tianyi also chose to retreat; it's the same idea.

Soon, the servants and guards all ran away, and Xu Tianyi immediately rushed towards the treasure vault courtyard.

Although Gu Qinghan was somewhat worried, she followed him.

After the two jumped into the courtyard, they immediately saw that the door to the artificial mountain treasure vault had been opened, and a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted out.

Qian Diping stood still, staring at the two of them.

"Qian Wude, I've already let you go and haven't hindered you much, why do you still want to kill me?!"

Xu Tianyi frowned and said, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish! The Qian family has engaged in human trafficking, abducted women, and slaughtered civilians. Such numerous atrocities are enough for the Qian family to pay for with the lives of their entire clan!"

Qian Diping's eyes were cold: "You traitorous slave, how dare you say that my Qian family is unjust?"

The Qian family raised you from childhood, providing you with enough to eat and wear, teaching you to read and write, and even using precious medicinal herbs to assist you in cultivating martial arts.

Is this how you repay the Qian family?

Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Yes, the Qian family has been very good to me, but didn't I fight for all of this?"

Since I came to the Qian family, more than ten years have passed. How many children has the Qian family taken in?

How many of the children who didn't become martial artists survived?

You make us fight each other, and the winner gets food and medicine.

Those who lose can only wait for the next battle, hungry and wounded.

Until death do us part!

I've always been curious whether the dead were actually taken to mass graves.

Now I understand, you're feeding these dead people to the demons, aren't you?

You've raised us, but we're nothing more than dogs, raised to be used as servants by you bunch of good-for-nothings so you can continue to do evil!

You forced us to attack innocent civilians, to abduct and violate innocent girls.

I've put up with your Qian family for far too long!

Every day I spend in your Xu family home, I feel like my life is shrouded in darkness.

In this world, there will always be people living in darkness, but there will always be people whose hearts yearn for the light.

Now, let me end this abyss of sin!

Xu Tianyi stared at Qian Diping with righteous indignation.

These words, seemingly spoken to Qian Diping, were actually meant for Gu Qinghan, who was standing beside him.

After all, no one likes someone who betrays their master. If Gu Qinghan's heart wavers, what if he can't handle the demons later?

Qian Diping chose to talk to him because he was waiting for the Blood Demon to be born successfully.
