Chapter 237 Do you understand?
When everyone left, Xi Yan and Gu Xulin were the only ones left in the huge room. The two stood there staring at each other in silence for a long while, until Gu Xulin felt that he could not hold on any longer, so he leaned against the wall with his back against the wall and slid down to sit on the ground again.
A layer of cold sweat had already appeared on Gu Xulin's forehead, with fine beads of sweat sliding down his temples, and his face seemed to have become a little paler.
Xi Yan walked towards Gu Xulin carrying the first aid kit he had asked for from Luo Tingyu and squatted in front of him. He took out a white porcelain bottle from the host's system space backpack, poured out a pill and handed it to Gu Xulin.
"Take the medicine first, otherwise your internal injuries will not heal in a short time." Xi Yan looked at him, then opened the medicine box and began to treat Gu Xulin's external injuries.
Gu Xulin just stared at the red pill lying quietly in his palm without any movement, "This is not what I want..." He said in a hoarse voice, Gu Xulin expressionlessly closed his palm, tightly grasped the pill, crushed it into powder, and let it fall and dissipate from between his fingers.
"Why?" Gu Xulin grabbed Xi Yan's wrist, stopping him from applying medicine to himself. He stared at Xi Yan's face and asked blankly, "Why choose someone else? Why... not me?"
Even if he had to do so, he had already clearly expressed that he would rather give up his life than lose him. Why should Xi Yan go against his wishes and make the opposite decision for him?
Did he really want to leave her? Because she didn't carry out and complete the task he gave her? Because she showed him her love on the rooftop that day and it aroused his disgust? So, Xi Yan took this opportunity to decide to replace him?
Thinking of Xi Yan's cold and bored look on the rooftop that day, Gu Xulin felt more and more that it must be because of this reason that the other party was unwilling to choose him again.
"Do you hate me so much?" Gu Xulin looked at Xi Yan and asked after much hesitation.
Xi Yan couldn't help but frown when she saw him crushing the pills into powder and wasting them. After hearing Gu Xulin's crazy questions, Xi Yan said speechlessly, "You think too much. I don't hate you as much as you think."
"Then why did you abandon me?" Gu Xulin asked dissatisfiedly.
Xi Yan ignored his question and just broke free from the host's hand on his wrist, took out the white porcelain bottle again and poured out a pill. Fearing that Gu Xulin would waste the good medicine again, he did not hand the medicine to him this time, but directly handed it to Gu Xulin's lips and ordered: "Open your mouth!"
Gu Xulin also turned his head and ignored him, as if to say, if you don’t answer me, I won’t pay any attention to you anymore.
Seeing this, Xi Yan pinched Gu Xulin's cheek with her other hand, forcing him to open his mouth, and then threw the pill in.
"You!" Gu Xulin wanted to spit it out, but Xi Yan covered his mouth.
"Swallow it!" Seeing that the host was still trying to grab his hand, Xi Yan frowned and scolded, "Do you know how precious a pill you just wasted?"
Gu Xulin stopped struggling after being yelled at. His Adam's apple rolled and the pill in his mouth was swallowed. He stared at Xi Yan, his eyes full of sadness and grievance, and his eye sockets were inexplicably red.
Xi Yan let go of his hand after seeing him swallow the medicine and said, "If I had abandoned you, I wouldn't be here to apply medicine to you now."
As he spoke, he took the medicine box and continued to apply medicine to Gu Xulin's wounds.
Gu Xulin lowered his eyes, his face showing a dejected look as if he had lost his fighting spirit. "What does it matter if I take the medicine? I will die in the end anyway. If Luo Tingyu gets you, he will never let me leave City B alive. Why do you have to do these useless things?"
"I have my own way to deal with this. Now you just need to save your life and survive." Xi Yan didn't even raise her head, just focused on treating the host's wound.
Gu Xulin stared at him and said, "How can I live without you?" Although these words sounded a bit hypocritical, they were also Gu Xulin's most sincere words.
"Either you leave together, or I won't leave either, and stay here and leave it to fate."
Xi Yan paused what she was doing and looked up at Gu Xulin, "Can you please stop being so unreasonable?"
"I'm being unreasonable?" Gu Xulin looked at him incredulously. "In your eyes, 'I like you' and 'I don't want to lose you' are considered unreasonable?"
Hearing Gu Xulin mentioning that he liked her again, Xi Yan's frowning brows could not help but tighten a little. He lowered his head and remained silent, just continuing the bandaging work at hand.
Seeing Xi Yan stopped talking, Gu Xulin suddenly sneered at himself. He looked at the system with some heartache and said, "When I was facing despair and ready to give up my life, it was you who showed up and gave me the chance to live. You gave me everything, but now you want to take everything away from me. Now, can't I even try to save it?"
Faced with Gu Xulin's love, Xi Yan didn't know what else to say and could only remain silent.
He had already clearly expressed to Gu Xulin that it was impossible for him and him to be together, and that he could not respond to and accept his host, but the other party still stubbornly insisted and refused to give up. This persistence made Xi Yan feel helpless and troubled, and even a little regretful, regretting that he had chosen Gu Xulin as his host.
Maybe it was really as Gu Xulin said, he really felt impatient from the bottom of his heart, so he wanted to change the host. It happened that Gu Xulin was unlucky today, and Luo Tingyu also had that ambition, and then took this opportunity, and the idea that flashed through his mind was realized.
Although Xi Yan had thought about changing the host, he really didn't want Gu Xulin's life to be in danger.
Once this thought came to her mind, she always felt a little guilty. This guilty feeling, coupled with Gu Xulin's words, made Xi Yan at a loss as to what to say next.
The two of them were silent for a while, and time seemed to stand still, even the air seemed to freeze for a moment. The empty room became extremely quiet, so quiet that the only sounds were their two breathing, one gentle and the other suppressed painful.
After a long while, perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable under Gu Xulin's unblinking gaze, Xi Yan decided to break the silence and said, "Didn't you want to know why I asked you to deal with Shousui? I'll tell you."
After hearing this, Gu Xulin became more focused and looked at Xi Yan silently with a hint of curiosity.
Xi Yan knew he was listening, so he continued without raising his head, "You guessed correctly. I like Xuan Sang. The reason why I asked you to kill Shou Sui was naturally because of Xuan Sang."
Although Gu Xulin had guessed it long ago, he still felt disappointed when he heard Xi Yan admit with his own ears that the person she loved was Xuan Sang.
Xi Yan didn't look at him, but continued on her own, "Shou Sui is the last host of Xuan Sang's Illusionary God training this time. As long as he dies, Xuan Sang's Illusionary God training will definitely end in failure."
"A member of the clan who has not passed the Phantom God training is not qualified to be enthroned as a 'Phantom God'. Naturally, he is not worthy of marrying His Highness Tianqing of the Celestial Clan."
"What's more, with Xuan Sang's original family background, he is already a bit of a stretch to match Tian Qing's status. If he fails in his training and doesn't even have a 'godhood' when he returns, it will be even more impossible for him to become a couple with Tian Qing."
“Even if they have already concluded a divine covenant and are only one step away from a wedding, in the end, all the major families of the Celestial Clan will jointly petition to abolish the divine covenant. After all, who doesn’t want to marry a prince of the Celestial Clan and become a relative? At that time, Xuan Sang will have no choice but to choose someone else to compete in the divine covenant again, and I will have the opportunity to conclude a divine covenant with him.”
"We, the Phantom God Clan, have no gender distinction. In your human terms, we are similar to hermaphrodites. Therefore, we all have a God Covenant competition to see who is better. The winner becomes the king and the loser becomes the wife, and this is how we reproduce."
Xi Yan finished bandaging Gu Xulin's wound. When he tied the last knot with the bandage, he looked up at Gu Xulin. "Do you understand?"
