Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1736: Chapter 1737: Only She Can...

At this moment, the two of them were both gravely injured.

Gong Juechen’s anger had subsided significantly after the prolonged fight. Upon hearing Xiao Changyi’s stern words, he remained silent for a moment before finally withdrawing his hand and leaning weakly against the beam.

Xiao Changyi, seeing Gong Juechen like this, understood that he had stopped fighting, so he also let go of his grip on Gong Juechen’s neck.

As soon as An Jing saw the two stop fighting, she hurriedly shouted outside, ”Qin Yi, quickly call the Imperial Physician over.”

Soon, the Imperial Physician arrived.

Xiao Changyi was seriously injured, with many wounds, especially the three silver needles completely embedded in his body. The Imperial Physicians had to use a knife to remove them, which made An Jing’s heart ache terribly.

Gong Juechen wasn’t much better off either. Although the hairpin wasn’t completely embedded in his body, he still coughed up blood when it was pulled out. Not to mention the other various wounds — both he and Xiao Changyi were quite seriously injured.

”You can fight, but don’t fight to the death.” An Jing didn’t know what else to say. These two, they fought so fiercely as if trying to kill each other.

Gong Juechen remained silent.

Xiao Changyi didn’t speak either but held An Jing’s hand as a silent way to comfort her.

Once the Imperial Physician finished treating Gong Juechen and Xiao Changyi and left, leaving the three of them alone in the room, Xiao Changyi finally spoke calmly, ”I meant what I said, I will tell Ye Zhi.”

Gong Juechen snorted coldly, ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill everyone?”

”Even so, I will still tell her. Only she can persuade you.”

Gong Juechen was taken aback at first, then said, ”Why don’t you go tell Se Se? I care about Se Se too.”

Xiao Changyi replied, ”If Se Se knew you were the Master of Slayer Tower, given her nature, she’d let it go with just a few words from you, and she wouldn’t try to persuade you. She might even think what you did is very impressive.”

”Heh...” Gong Juechen was amused. Indeed, his younger sister might very well react that way.

At this point, An Jing seized the opportunity to persuade, ”Gong Juechen, there are no secrets that don’t come out, Ye Zi is your wife, someone you will spend the rest of your life with, sharing every moment. Even if we don’t tell her, are you sure she would never find out that you’re the Master of Slayer Tower?”

Gong Juechen instantly fell silent. To be honest, even though he wanted to keep this a secret for a lifetime, he wasn’t entirely confident he could.

An Jing continued, ”I’ve known Ye Zi for many years, and I understand her personality. The longer you hide it, the angrier she’ll become.”

Gong Juechen suddenly smiled wryly, ”Are you sure she’ll only be angry?”

”What do you mean?” An Jing didn’t immediately understand what Gong Juechen meant and was puzzled by his question.

Gong Juechen refrained from saying more. He wasn’t afraid of her getting angry, but feared she would be scared of him, despise him, and then leave him.

And if Gong Juechen had said it, An Jing would certainly assure him that Ye Zhi isn’t so timid; she wouldn’t be scared or despise him, let alone leave him over this. At most, she’d just be angry.

But Gong Juechen didn’t say it.

Seeing Gong Juechen’s silence, An Jing didn’t press further and instead said, ”We’ve made up our minds; we will persuade you to lead Slayer Tower’s people to abandon evil and turn to good. We would never harm you, Gong Juechen.”

”Yes, you wouldn’t harm me, but what about the others in Slayer Tower? Have you considered them? Abandon evil and turn to good? Heh, with all the bad things done before, even if we start doing many good deeds now, who would believe it?”
