As the sound of de piercing into flesh echoed, the corners of Nangong Li’s mouth curled up in triumph.
But just as his smile formed, it froze halfway.
His sword had indeed pierced Gu Jiao, but it had only pierced through her clothing. The sound from earlier had been Gu Jiao’s "spear" stabbing into his body!
Nangong Li’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What just happened? How had this girl done it?
Gu Jiao kicked him in the chest, forcing his body off her "spear" and sending him flying through the air.
Gu Jiao rubbed her wrist and said with some dissatisfaction, “It''s my first time using this spear technique to kill someone, and I''m not very skilled at it yet. It took several stabs to finally hit you."
Nangong Liy on the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
It wasn’t from the injury—it was from anger.
Three moves... He only managed to withstand three moves of this girl''s spear technique.
And she was still not satisfied!
Blood gushed from his body, forming a pool beneath him. For some reason, the scene struck Gu Jiao as familiar.
It was as if, in some dream, someone else had also fallen in a pool of blood like this.
Gu Jiao tilted her head strangely, trying to grasp the fleeting sense of familiarity in her mind.
She took one step at a time toward Nangong Li.
Nangong Li''s life was slipping away quickly, and his consciousness began to blur. In his daze, he seemed to see Xuanyuan Sheng, holding a red-tasseled spear, walking toward him with a cold expression.
"Nangong Li, I trusted you so much, and yet you shot me in the back with a cold arrow. You deserve this day."
"Sigh, Nangong Li, I don’t like Jing shizi. I don’t want him as my brother-inw. Why don’t you marry my sister instead?"
"Hey, you lost again? How can you, a grown man, not beat my sister?"
"Nangong Li, hold on! We’re almost at the medical hall! Why did you rush in earlier? I could have dodged on my own!"
"Hao’er,e here. From now on, he will be your ymate. His name is Nangong Li."
"Can he take a beating? If not, I don’t want him."
Nangong Li slowly closed his blood-filled eyes.
They said that before you die, you see the person you cared about most and remember the things that mattered most to you in life.
He had known Xuanyuan Sheng since he was three years old, and even in his final moments, he couldn’t escape him.
Xuanyuan Sheng... you really are a thorn in my heart!
Gu Jiao squatted down, her face bewildered as she watched Nangong Li muttering to himself.
Nangong Li, pale-faced, gazed at the blurry figure before him. The figure gradually ovepped with the image in his mind, merging into the appearance of a young Xuanyuan Sheng.
As blood spurted from his mouth, his whole body trembled, yet he beganughing, "Xuanyuan Hao."
He used Xuanyuan Sheng''s childhood name, perhaps because those were the days when things were the most pure and sincere.
"I truly deserve to die… I betrayed you…betrayed the Xuanyuan Family. My death is not undeserved... that you’vee for revenge... I’m not surprised... there’s nothing... to feel wronged about... But do you... really think all of what happened back then was the Nangong Family’s doing? You’re wrong... Hahaha... You’re gravely mistaken... The Nangong Family... weren’t even aplices! They were just a hunting dog trying to snatch a piece of the fat meat..."
He used thest bit of his strength to arch his body, his blood-stained hand gripping Gu Jiao''s cor tightly, "The one who truly destroyed your Xuanyuan Family... is... is..."
……
"Ling! Ling, where did you go? Ling!"
It was Mu Chuan’s voice.
Gu Jiao had been gone for a long time, and since Mu Chuan couldn’t wait any longer, he came out to look for him with Zhao Wei, Yuan Xiao, and a young pce maid from Zhonghe Hall.
This was a small courtyard of Zhonghe Hall, where people usually didn’te. Besides a small wooden shed for cleaning tools, there was just a tall wall and a few big trees.
At this moment, Gu Jiao was squatting under arge tree near the high wall. In front of hery a man in a pool of blood, and near the small wooden shed behind her, three unconscious eunuchs were sprawled on the ground.
"What… what’s going on here?" Yuan Xiao asked, wide-eyed and speechless.
"Ling!" Mu Chuan strode over quickly.
Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei also hurriedly followed.
As they passed by the small wooden shed, they all nced at the three eunuchs lying haphazardly on the ground.
Yuan Xiao shook his head at the other two.
He could tell that those three were no longer breathing.
Zhao Wei looked worriedly at the small figure squatting on the ground, not sure if she were drawing circles or doing something else, "Ling wouldn’t be hurt, right? Is he injured or scared out of his wits?"
This clearly looked like a horrifying murder scene!
What normal person would just squat there? If they weren''t terrified enough to run, they''d at least distance themselves quickly to avoid being implicated, right?
The three of them quickly approached Xiao Ling. Mu Chuan stood on his left, while Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei were on his right. Dissatisfied with being too far from Xiao Ling, Zhao Wei walked around the man on the ground and positioned himself directly across from Gu Jiao.
Meanwhile, the young pce maid who hade with them had already rushed off to get help.
"Ling, are you okay?"
The three asked in unison.
After spending so much time ying polo games together, the group''s coordination had grown stronger over time.
Gu Jiao responded with an "Oh" and said, "I’m fine."
Among the three, only Mu Chuan had seen Nangong Li before. Unfortunately, Nangong Li''s face was covered in blood, making him unrecognizable, and with Mu Chuan solely focused on worrying about Xiao Ling, he didn’t realize who it was.
Mu Chuan frowned and asked, "What happened here?"
Gu Jiao replied honestly, "He was killed."
Mu Chuan looked at Gu Jiao in confusion, "Then why are you squatting here? Are you waiting to be arrested as the murderer?"
I am the murderer.
Gu Jiao said, "My legs went numb."
They were really numb, so numb she couldn’t stand up.
Mu Chuan: "…"
Yuan Xiao: "…"
Zhao Wei: "…"
Mu Chuan and Yuan Xiao each extended a hand and helped lift Gu Jiao up.
Meanwhile, the young pce maid had brought over the head eunuch of Zhonghe Hall, Li Sande, who was apanied by several pce guards.
They weren’t the imperial experts, as only the Emperor had the authority to deploy them. At the moment, the Emperor was in court at the Jinluan Hall, and Li Sande hadn’t reported this incident yet.
Li Sande immediately noticed the students from Tianqiong Academy, and his eyesnded on Gu Jiao’spel.
Mu Chuan and the others followed his gaze and their minds instantly buzzed in rm.
Heavens!
Why was there a bloody handprint on Ling’s clothes?! <h4>Raz P.''s Thoughts</h4>

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to sumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he bes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s youngdy, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had ughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I apud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at antern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does ite with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don''t abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn''t finished his lines yet though…
