Chapter 318: Gu Yang: I Know Everything

“Liu Yiyi, I am warning you. Release Big Brother Gu right now.” Su Yan’s sinister gaze locked onto Liu Yiyi, her cold voice sounding less like a request and more like a warning.

Liu Yiyi’s breath hitched. Seeing Su Yan again at this moment triggered an almost instinctive fear within her, but she quickly pushed that fear to the back of her mind.

“Su Yan, I know you have some skills, but no matter how powerful you are, there is no way you can break through my barrier. Today, I am going to make you watch with your own eyes as Gu Yang dies here!”

As she spoke the final words, she gritted her teeth, feeling an immense sense of gratification.

What could be more satisfying than a revenge like this?!

Su Yan seemed to be shrouded in a dark shadow, looking grim and terrifying.

At this moment, she was certain of Liu Yiyi’s goal—she actually wanted Gu Yang dead!

Listening to their conversation, Gu Yang’s eyes wavered violently, his heart filled with a thousand unspoken words.

Liu Yiyi kept a close eye on his every move, then suddenly burst into a wanton laugh.

“Editor Gu, I suspect you still don't know your fiancée's true identity, do you?”

“Shut up!” Gu Yang barked harshly, as if he had already guessed what she was about to say.

However, the more he resisted, the more excited Liu Yiyi became.

“The more you tell me to shut up, the more I want to make everything clear. Do you really think Su Yan is some kind of virtuous girl? In truth, she has been deceiving you all along; she is just like us. You claim to love her with every breath, yet you don't even know her true identity without me telling you. How truly laughable.”

After saying this, she deliberately cast a look of profound sympathy toward Gu Yang.

In truth, Gu Yang had long been mentally prepared, but hearing someone state it so definitively still left him completely stunned.

He wasn't a fool. So much had happened during these past days, and Su Yan had been constantly with Du Jinsong, Ma Chulong, and the others—how could he not have guessed?

Su Yan’s hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into tight fists, so hard that she didn't even notice her nails digging into her palms.

She had actually wanted to tell Gu Yang long ago, but she never expected that he would eventually learn the whole truth in such a manner.

Ma Chulong and Ma Chulan also hadn't expected Liu Yiyi to be so despicable; they looked toward Su Yan with unease.

Behind the black cloth, Su Yan’s eyes held nothing but Gu Yang’s figure.

Liu Yiyi had no intention of letting them off so easily. She continued to speak to Gu Yang: “Editor Gu, I told you long ago that girl was no good. Now you should know her true face, right? But none of that is the most important part. The most important thing is that the girl has no feelings for you. Unlike me, I sincerely want to be with you. Now, as long as you are willing to nod your head, I promise I will spare your life. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived together in the future?”

Gu Yang possessed the rare Sun-Radiant Body. Once she possessed this man, she would no longer need to wander around searching for other men to maintain her youthful appearance.

Therefore, she truly didn't want to drive him to his death.

“Gu Yang, whatever you do, do not listen to this woman's instigation! Whether it's Su Yan or us, we are not like her!”

Ma Chulong didn't understand why Su Yan wouldn't interrupt Liu Yiyi or defend herself, but he truly could not bear to listen any longer.

“That's right, Big Brother Gu, we are all exorcists. The reason Su Yan didn't tell you before was because she had her own difficulties.” Ma Chulan also hurriedly chimed in, fearing that Gu Yang would truly fall for Liu Yiyi's provocations.

Gu Yang’s vacant gaze finally shifted, staring intently in Su Yan's direction, waiting only for her explanation.

“Yan Yan...”

“Su Yan, hurry and tell Gu Yang!”

The Ma siblings were sweating profusely from anxiety, urging her impatiently.

Su Yan finally spoke, “Big Brother Gu, I'm sorry. I kept it from you.”

This was the truth.

Although hiding it from him did make her feel guilty, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

She had now made all sorts of mental preparations. She would rescue Gu Yang first; even if he would hate her, reject her, or leave her afterward, it didn't matter.

Gu Yang let out a bitter laugh, looking as if he had truly been wounded.

And this was exactly the scene Liu Yiyi wanted.

“Editor Gu, see? Everything I said was right, wasn't it? So, do you still want to be with a woman who deceived you?”

Watching Liu Yiyi's shameless display, Ma Chulong and Ma Chulan felt their teeth itch with hatred.

But they were not the ones involved.

They could not see Su Yan's current expression, but she had not said much from the beginning, as if she were simply waiting for Gu Yang to make his choice.

Gu Yang slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Liu Yiyi beside him.

“How would I know you aren't lying to me? Didn't you just say you were going to kill me?”

This single sentence made Liu Yiyi's expression twist with joy, and cast a shadow over Su Yan's eyes outside the barrier.

The Ma siblings were even more incredulous.

Had Gu Yang really fallen for Liu Yiyi's instigation so easily that he chose to abandon Su Yan?

“Gu Yang, have you gone mad? No matter what, you cannot choose that woman!”

Gu Yang acted as if he hadn't heard Ma Chulong's shout; he merely stared fixedly at Liu Yiyi, waiting for her answer.

Liu Yiyi giggled, “Editor Gu, I did indeed think that just now. But since you have promised me, you are my person now. How could I bear to kill you?”

As she spoke, she impatiently reached out a fair finger to stroke Gu Yang's slightly haggard face.

At the same time, she cast a provocative glance toward Su Yan.

She would be the final winner.

Su Yan still said nothing, but she allowed the Ma siblings to sense a terrifyingly powerful aura emanating from her.

“Then release me now,” Gu Yang continued to negotiate with Liu Yiyi.

This time, however, Liu Yiyi shook her head. “Don't be in such a hurry. It's not time yet. We still have very important things to do. Once this is finished, I will release you.”

Gu Yang's eyes were deep and inscrutable as he let out a sneer. “So you still intend to use me. How do I know what you actually plan to do to me?”

Liu Yiyi actually hesitated, as if contemplating whether she should answer his question.

“See? You aren't completely sincere toward me either. I am already in your hands; do you really think I might run away?”

Gu Yang's questioning and provocation stirred Liu Yiyi's emotions.

Run?

Inside this barrier, let alone an ordinary man like him, even a Great Golden Immortal might not be able to escape.

“Editor Gu, I really don't know what to do with you. Since you want to know, then I'll tell you.”

The two did not make any effort to lower their voices, so even Su Yan and Ma Chulong outside the barrier could hear everything clearly.
