Chapter 906 - Sincerity

After saying this, the tall slender woman stopped.

The effects of [See you once again] disappeared, the tall slender woman’s blank expression vanished, replaced by her original caution and care.

Gu Qing Shan also quickly hid the contemplating expression on his face and silently muttered in his mind.

This woman is too reckless.

After being abandoned by humanity’s upper echelon and being turned into an Abyssal monster, she began to make plans for taking the twin swords Heaven and Earth, all to reach the other side of the Reality Gate and find those people to take her revenge.

She did the same after failing to compete for the twin swords against me.

——-because I cut her into countless pieces and scattered her into countless phantom images, as soon as she was resurrected, she found out from somewhere about my whereabouts and travelled all the way to the Earth World to wait until I returned.

It had probably been a few ten thousand years already since the Age of Old.

But as soon as I left the Earth World, I ran into her.

This could only mean that she has been constantly ‘camping’ outside.

Even the Demon Dragon and the Soul Shrieker didn’t hold that much of a grudge, they had already gone about minding their own businesses.

This person really———-

Can’t be trifled with.

This woman can’t die, so even if I manage to kill her here, she would still be resurrected eventually.

With this personality, she would definitely enter the 900 million World Layers and settle her grudge with me again.

If she just happens to appear when I’m trying to save Lady Darksea and the Lords...

God knows how I would be able to deal with her at that time.

I can’t offend her any further.

With that thought in mind, Gu Qing Shan’s attitude became even more sincere and shouted from afar: “Hey, I really am sincere about helping you, as long as you’re willing to let go of the past, I’m more than willing to help you as best as I can”

The tall slender woman still had her back turned to him and scoffed: “I know how good you are at conning people, so don’t even think about trying to lure me into a trap”

Gu Qing Shan sighed and signalled the Old Guide with a glance.

Seeing that, the Old Guide swiftly finished the new bowl of noodles and gave it to him: “Alright, little one, here is your noodles”

“Ah, thank you, old senior”

Gu Qing Shan quickly received that bowl of noodles.

The tall slender woman suddenly turned around and quickly questioned: “Old senior, I said that I wanted another bowl, didn’t I? Why did you give it to him?”

The Old Guide smiled brightly with his eyes closed and replied: “When this young man came, he already told me that he wanted two bowls, so I made one for him first—– there is an order for things, wouldn’t you agree?”

The tall slender woman froze and turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged and spoke: “I came first after all, but to show my sincerity, I can let you have this bowl first”

The tall slender woman immediately turned to the Old Guide: “He said he’ll let me have it”

The Old Guide glanced at Gu Qing Shan, then at the tall slender woman and sighed: “Alright, as long as you are willing to eat my noodles”

The Old Guide then gave the bowl to the tall slender woman.

She instantly began to dig in.

While eating, she cautiously glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

Right now, the Old Guide had already begun to cook the next bowl of noodles and said: “Since that bowl was for the young lady, this next one will be for the young man”

The tall slender woman felt heavy in her heart.

That way, Gu Qing Shan will catch up with me.

The Old Guide respects the order of being first or second.

Since Gu Qing Shan was the one who came to him first today, each bowl he made would always prioritize Gu Qing Shan.

The tall slender woman’s eyes shifted around for a bit before she spoke to Gu Qing Shan:

“If you really want to show your sincerity, then let me have the next bowl as well”

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan appeared troubled.

When the tall slender woman was about to begin mocking him, Gu Qing Shan hesitantly spoke up: “If I give everything to you, the Old Guide would definitely help you kill me”

The tall slender woman didn’t give him the opportunity to make excuses and swiftly replied: “That’s why this is the time to truly test you—— whether you sincerely want to help me, or if your words are nothing but lip service, this is the time for me to observe it clearly”

Gu Qing Shan hesitantly thought for a long while, then finally sighed: “Very well, I’ll let you have the next bowl of noodles as well”

The tall slender woman appeared surprised.

——–he’s really going to give me the next bowl as well?

If that’s the case, the Old Guide and I can take his life in mere minutes by working together!

He’s willing to put his life on the line...

Does he sincerely want to help me?

At this point, the tall slender woman was feeling a bit unsure.

We are enemies, yet not only is he sincerely trying to make peace, but he’s also offering to help me...

The tall slender woman continued to dig into the food and ate the noodles without making up her mind.

She once again ate everything without leaving a scrap of food left.

Seeing that, the Old Guide quickly asked: “What is your weakness?”

Mystic Ability: [See you once again]——- activate!

The tall slender woman once again displayed a blank expression and subconsciously replied: “I fear nothing in battle, even if I die, I can quickly awaken again, only if someone took off the Ring of Vow on my left index would my abilities be temporarily sealed away——– this is my only weakness”

Gu Qing Shan and the Old Guide exchanged surprised glances.

What an odd and mysterious weakness, if she didn’t divulge it herself, no one would probably be able to find out.

After answering, the tall slender woman’s blank expression gradually faded away.

The effect of the Mystic Ability was wearing off.

Gu Qing Shan and the Old Guide quickly adjusted themselves and returned to their original expressions.

The tall slender woman didn’t notice that she had said anything, brought the bowl in front of the Old Guide and offered him her gratitude: “Thank you for your food, it was really delicious, please give me the next bowl as well”

“You can still eat?” the Old Guide asked in surprise.

The tall slender woman smiled: “A single bowl of noodles isn’t much, I also like eat, and it has been a very long time since I last ate this kind of food”

The Old Guide looked at her, then at Gu Qing Shan and with hesitance, he asked: “Little one, the next bowl of noodles was supposed to be yours, are you sure you really want to give it to the young lady as well?”

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand without care: “Please give it to her, I need her to understand my sincerity”

“Alright then, this is a matter between you young people, I won’t interfere” the Old Guide replied.

After saying so, the Old Guide began making the next bowl of noodles.

The tall slender woman cautiously stared at Gu Qing Shan and questioned: “What exactly are you scheming?”

“I’ve already given you my noodles, can’t you trust me at least once?” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

The tall slender woman crossed her arms and said nothing.

Only after the Old Guide had finished cooking the noodles and gave it to her that her gaze changed a bit.

This time, the tall slender woman wasn’t in as much of a rush as before and slowly enjoyed the food.

Halfway through, she abruptly looked up and said: “Gu Qing Shan, I really didn’t think you’d be willing to go this far”

——since I’ve already eaten all the noodles, the Old Guide would not help Gu Qing Shan.

I am stronger than Gu Qing Shan and can last very long in a fight, while Gu Qing Shan is now only a normal person, in a battle of attrition, his stamina would definitely not last.

As long as I am willing to, I can kill him today!

Gu Qing Shan nodded again: “Of course I am. Considering how powerful you are and how you’ve helped me in the Age of Old, I really can’t think of a reason why I would deceive you”

“Then give me the twin swords” the tall slender woman said.

“The twin swords’ spirits have already recognized me as their master, you wouldn’t be able to use them even if you take them” Gu Qing Shan replied.

This was the truth after a weapon or artifact had recognized a master, other people wouldn’t be able to use it unless they erased the weapon’s spirit.

——-but doing this would also cause the weapon or artifact to be greatly damaged, unable to exert its full power.

The tall slender woman questioned in irritation: “But with how weak you are, how are you going to help me?”

Gu Qing Shan insisted: “We can slowly plan that out, as long as you don’t hold a grudge against me anymore, I’d naturally be willing to listen to you”

The tall slender woman turned her head and looked straight at him.

A long while later.

“How surprising, you actually seem truly sincere this time” she commented.

——her attitude finally loosened up!

Gu Qing Shan sighed: “That’s because you don’t understand me well enough, after getting to know me better, you’ll find that everything I’ve done up to now has been sincere”

The tall slender woman scoffed, showed a complicated expression, but said nothing else.

The Old Guide was looking down on one side, trying to control his expression.

And the tall slender woman was about to finish the third bowl of noodles as well.

This is really——-

He successfully fooled her into being affected by the same Mystic Ability three times in a role, and still managed to convince her that he sincerely wants to help her from the bottom of his heart.

...Gongzi really is a swindler among swindlers.
