They were having a good chat, but ended up touching on Gu Fan's sad story. Yun Qingxi really wanted to comfort him but didn't know how."Don't say that, you're doing fine now! You're the first one among our group to become a dependent!"
"Not only have you outdone me and that big guy Xiao, you've also outdone Luo Jinghua!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Qingxi wanted to bite off her tongue. Why did she bring up Luo Jinghua again out of nowhere?
Luo Jinghua and Luo Pingyang have the same father. There is no difference between mentioning Luo Jinghua and Luo Pingyang! Both of them are wrong choices that will make Gu Fan feel that heaven is unfair.
Why? Since they are all human beings, Luo Jinghua and Luo Pingyang can do whatever they want based on their parents' interpretation, and all their peers have to flatter them.
But Gu Fan's family has to live in fear under such power.
And Yun Qingxi knows one thing very well:
That is, Gu Fan's family is definitely not the people living the hardest life in this land.
Although their family was oppressed by Luo Pingyang and lived a miserable life, at least they had two monks.
Gu Fan's brother is the focus of Xiaoheng Wushan's training. Although Gu Fan may be different from his brother, he is also someone who needs to be looked up to in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.
After all, there is no bad disciple who can enter Wushan’s selection.
Yun Qingxi looked at the distraught Gu Fan, knowing that there were thousands and thousands of people in this world who had a harder life than Gu Fan's family.
Most of them are powerless mortals, and they will never have the courage to resist like Gu Fan in their entire lives.
It was not until Gu Fan spoke that Yun Qingxi brought her scattered thoughts back to focus.
"Brother Yun, do you also think I deserve to die?"
"I've observed..." Gu Fan smiled with a hint of flattery, "When the Saint was judging me earlier, you didn't speak up for me."
"On the contrary, it was Xiao Yiyang who defended me... This really doesn't match my impression of you two."
Yun Qingxi felt uncomfortable all over after hearing this. He felt like he was about to be scared by Gu Fan's flattering yet quiet manner.
"Only those who have really met Xiao Daren know that he is a fool with a cold face but a warm heart. Your impression of him only comes from the most superficial impression you get when you first meet him."
Gu Fan smiled, "Really? It turns out that Master Xiao has a cold exterior but a warm heart."
"Then what are you, Brother Yun? Are you warm on the outside but cold on the inside? You seem to smile at everyone, but in fact you don't care about anyone at all."
Yun Qingxi felt that all the hairs on his body were standing up.
There is a kind of horror that is not a visual horror, but a very mysterious feeling.
Just like at this moment, Gu Fan was sitting in front of him with a smile on his face and doing nothing, but Yun Qingxi could feel a silent madness from Gu Fan.
Some people go crazy silently, without much outward expression, but once you get in touch with them you'll discover that they've already gone crazy on the inside.
When did Gu Fan go crazy?
Perhaps it was the moment he knelt on the ground and confessed his guilt that he felt that everything was over, so there was no need to pretend anymore and he might as well just reveal his already rotten heart.
Perhaps it was the moment when the Saint announced that he would become her servant, the excitement of revenge and the thrill of being chosen drove him crazy, causing this sinner riddled with sin to rush towards eternal damnation in ecstasy.
Or maybe even earlier...
When he witnessed his brother's pain time and time again, when he personally ended his brother's life...
The more Yun Qingxi looked at Gu Fan, the colder she felt in her heart. "Of course I don't think you deserve to die. You've done very well. No one in this world deserves to die."
He originally wanted to say something comforting, but Gu Fan's performance really made him at a loss, and his words were incoherent.
Gu Fan smiled. The lower half of his face was smiling, but his eyes were crying.
Yun Qingxi clearly saw the tears gradually flowing out of Gu Fan's eyes, and then he heard words that broke his heart.
"Shouldn't Luo Pingyang die?"
At this moment, Yun Qingxi just felt that he deserved to die. His ability to comfort people was simply a mess!
Of course a villain like Luo Pingyang deserves to die! But he said that no one in this world deserves to die... He really deserves to die...
"I was wrong. I'm sorry, Brother Gu Fan! Luo Pingyang absolutely deserves to die. Even if his corpse is whipped, it can't offset what he has done!"
"Brother Gu Fan, please don't take what I said to heart!"
Yun Qingxi is usually a very eloquent person, but now she is at a loss for words.
But Gu Fan wiped away his tears with his sleeves embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns, and then he seemed to return to being a normal person in an instant... and apologized to Yun Qingxi.
"It's my fault. I made things difficult for you, Brother Yun. Actually, it doesn't matter what you say, Brother Yun. I know what I did."
Only then did Yun Qingxi realize what Gu Fan meant by those words.
He was looking for recognition from him, he hoped to hear him say that killing Luo Pingyang was not a crime!
It's not excusable, it's not human nature, but Luo Pingyang deserves to die!
Only in this way can Gu Fan get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Don't think like that..." Yun Qingxi said blankly: "We all think that you are doing this..."

"It's my duty?" Gu Fan's eyes were slightly red. "I know it's my duty, but it still doesn't change the fact that I killed someone."
"You are not guilty!" Yun Qingxi no longer knew what to say to comfort Gu Fan and could only give a rough conclusion.
Gu Fan was stunned after hearing this, "Really? Am I not guilty?"
"But if I am innocent, why would the Saint let me die? She is punishing me because of my sins."
"I'm guilty."
Yun Qingxi opened her eyes wide. It was obvious that Gu Fan had developed his own logic.
He guessed wrongly about his intentions.
"You ask me these questions because you really want to know my answers?"
Gu Fan was stunned again, and Yun Qingxi continued: "Like you said yourself, you know what you are doing, and you know the answers to these questions."
"You already have the answers in your heart, but you don't like them, so you want to hear different answers from me."
"And you know you can get different answers from me, but you still believe in your own answer in your heart, and you can hardly get comfort from the answer I give you."
Gu Fan stopped talking. He lowered his head and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Yun Qingxi squatted down and looked directly into his eyes, "Have I comforted you?"
Gu Fan still didn't say anything. Yun Qingxi sighed and said, "You have already determined that you are guilty."
"I should have realized from the beginning when you asked me..."
"You asked me if I didn't speak up for you during your trial because I thought you deserved to die, but Brother Gu Fan..."
Yun Qingxi's eyes were filled with helplessness. "A person who is innocent will not be judged."
"If you think that was a trial, then the answer in your heart cannot be shaken by a few words from me."
Gu Fan still didn't react, but Yun Qingxi saw tears sliding down his cheeks.
When you are sad, your tears will be especially bitter.
Yun Qingxi didn’t know what Gu Fan’s tears tasted like at this moment, because he didn’t know what Gu Fan was thinking at this moment.
He didn't know the meaning of his tears. (End of this chapter)
