"Are you a loner like me?" Gu Qiaoqiao retorted. "Hmm?" Dongfang Yu frowned. Gu Qiaoqiao smiled faintly, "Living to your age means your parents have died, your siblings have died, and then you watch as your friends die one by one. Most importantly, the person you love most also dies before you, while you continue living. I don’t kind of immortality." Heaven has already given her one life. Besides, she really has no interest in immortality, not even a bit. Moreover, wanting immortality requires paying an equivalent price. She doesn’t know what Dongfang Yu’s price was, but perhaps, that intolerance to cold is one part of it. Dongfang Yu’s expression gradually became solemn; Gu Qiaoqiao is only twenty years old. How does it seem like she has seen through everything? Faced with such conditions, anyone from the Mystic Sect would be tempted and willingly follow him. Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao rejected him with a reason he couldn’t refute. He knows that Gu Qiaoqiao makes sense. Although he is accustomed to loneliness, it doesn’t mean he likes it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have joined the mortal world. Initially, he vaguely calculated that Gu Qiaoqiao was someone who defies fate. But due to limited abilities, he couldn’t see the specifics. For instance, does Gu Qiaoqiao herself know? However, this seems unrealistic; anyone who defies fate is aided by another. So, who was the person who changed fate for Gu Qiaoqiao, and where are they now? Is there truly someone in this world capable of such things? Or perhaps, the Gu Family Ancestor is still alive? Dongfang Yu doesn’t know, and he understands his speculation is only that—speculation. He’s not a fortune teller, nor is he on that path. Besides, recklessly probing into the secrets of heaven and others’ destinies can lead to retribution and backlash. He wouldn’t take such a risk. The ability to see such things was merely to understand Gu Qiaoqiao more deeply. But today, it seems many things aren’t as simple as he imagined. Just looking at the matter of trying to deal with the Gu Family, it’s clear it was fraught with difficulties. Not once was he successful. He had considered kidnapping Gu Qiaoqiao or her family to threaten her into joining him. But, if such a plan succeeded, then what? Gu Qiaoqiao sometimes has a rebellious nature, exacting revenge; would she obediently comply? No matter where she is taken, there must ultimately be a place to stay. You can’t just leave this planet. So, Qin Yize wouldn’t give up on finding her, and Gu Qiaoqiao might stab him in the back. After all, she is quite capable. Different from ordinary scared girls who cry at threats. Having her around would be like carrying a ticking time bomb; however you look at it, it’s dangerous. So he abandoned this kidnapping and threatening plan. The only way is for Gu Qiaoqiao to willingly go with him. Fresh chapters posted on novel★fire.net For now, specific conditions seem impossible without. That method is under development, and it needs to be spring when flowers bloom; hopefully, it will be effective. Dongfang Yu slowly relaxed his brows, "Forget it, your ambitions lie elsewhere, I won’t force you..." "Then, do you want me to send you to the Public Security Bureau, or will you leave yourself?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
