One Less

Gu Hanshuang followed Zhuge Wentian all the way to the rooftop of the villa, and then she found that there was a table on the rooftop with two lounge chairs next to the table. On the table, there was wine, cups, even some braised dishes, a plate of duck necks and some other things.

"I had a few drinks here at noon, and the table hasn't been cleared yet." Seeing the wine and food on the table, Zhuge Wentian looked as if he had just remembered something, "By the way, Hanshuang, it's rare for us to meet again, let's have a drink together, wait a minute, I'll go get some cups."

Without waiting for Gu Hanshuang to speak, Zhuge Wentian turned around and went downstairs. In less than a minute, he came back with another wine glass.

"Come, Hanshuang, sit down." Zhuge Wentian greeted Gu Hanshuang and sat down first. Then he placed the wine glass he had just brought in front of Gu Hanshuang, picked up the bottle of wine on the table, uncorked it, and poured wine for Gu Hanshuang while saying, "Actually, this era is still very good. This kind of wine tastes quite good. Come, try it too."

Gu Hanshuang picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then put the glass down: "Uncle Zhuge, what else do you have doubts about?"

"Hanshuang, actually, I want to ask about Zhuang Yundong. You said he was dead. How did he die?" Zhuge Wentian asked in a low voice. Although he felt that Xia Tian could not hear their conversation due to the distance, he still subconsciously lowered his voice. It was a pity that he didn't know that Xia Tian's hearing was different from others. As long as he really wanted to listen, every word would definitely enter his ears clearly at this distance.

"Uncle Zhuge, you'd better not ask about Zhuang Yundong's affairs." Gu Hanshuang said after a slight hesitation.

Zhuge Wentian continued to ask: "Under normal circumstances, Zhuang Yundong should not be dead now, so he should have been killed by someone, right? And the person who could have killed him, besides Xia Tian who is already a Jindan stage master, I can't think of anyone else. Hanshuang, tell me, did Xia Tian kill Zhuang Yundong? He killed Zhuang Yundong and then forced you to be his maid, right?"

"No, that's not the case, Uncle Zhuge, you misunderstood." Gu Hanshuang shook her head, "Zhuang Yundong deserved to die, you really should stop asking."

"Hanshuang, if I don't ask clearly, how can I know who Xia Tian is? If he really killed Zhuang Yundong for you, how can I believe that he will really let me live for a few more decades?" Zhuge Wentian sighed softly, then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. "This concerns the rest of my life, I have to ask clearly!"

Gu Hanshuang was silent for a while. Unconsciously, she also picked up the wine glass and drank up the red wine in the glass. Then, she said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhuge, since you want to know, then I will tell you."

Gu Hanshuang slowly recounted everything that had happened on the Great Wall a few days ago, no longer hiding anything, and after she spoke out about it, she seemed to feel a lot more relieved. Although she seemed to care about nothing these days, she knew that what Zhuang Yundong, who was nominally her fiancé and was supposed to take care of her, had done, actually dealt a great blow to her.

"So that's how it is. From this perspective, Zhuang Yundong really deserves to die." Zhuge Wentian nodded slowly, looking like he understood Gu Hanshuang very well. However, at this moment, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "But, actually, I can also understand Zhuang Yundong's approach."

"What?" Gu Hanshuang was slightly stunned. She thought there was something wrong with her ears. "Uncle Zhuge, what did you say?"

Zhuge Wentian did not answer, but suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Hanshuang.

Gu Hanshuang subconsciously wanted to hide, but suddenly found that she had no strength at all. The next second, she felt her body flying up, and it turned out that Zhuge Wentian was carrying her and running quickly.

"How could this happen?" Gu Hanshuang almost cried. She was not stupid. She knew that there must be something wrong with the glass of wine. And now she finally understood why Zhuge Wentian said that he could understand Zhuang Yundong's approach, because at this moment, Zhuge Wentian was doing something similar to Zhuang Yundong.

First it was Zhuang Yundong, and now it's Zhuge Wentian. One is her fiancé, and the other is a person who has always taken good care of her and whom she respects very much. However, what they both did made her feel heartbroken. Zhuang Yundong wanted to give her to Xia Tian in exchange for the so-called Golden Elixir, and although Zhuge Wentian hasn't said it yet, Gu Hanshuang can guess that his purpose must be the same as Zhuang Yundong's, and he also wants to use her as a bargaining chip to exchange with Xia Tian.

At this moment, Gu Hanshuang was so disheartened that she even forgot to ask for help. It was not until she found that Zhuge Wentian had put her down again that she came to her senses a little.

"Hanshuang, don't blame me. I didn't want to do this either. It's a pity that your young master refused to help me achieve the Golden Elixir, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort." Zhuge Wentian looked at Gu Hanshuang. "This is the rooftop of an unfinished building. Normally, no one would come here, so you are safe for now. The poison you have is not going to kill you for now. As for whether you will be safe in the future, it depends on whether your young master really cares about you."

"Is cultivating immortality really that important to you?" Gu Hanshuang looked at Zhuge Wentian with cold eyes.

“Hanshuang, don’t you understand? When you do something for a hundred years, even if it is meaningless, it will become very important, so important that you can do anything for it!” Zhuge Wentian raised his voice unconsciously, “I had already given up, but you appeared in front of me again. You gave me hope, but let me down. Since you let me down, I have no choice but to let you down too!”

"You will regret it." Gu Hanshuang said lightly. She believed that if Zhuge Wentian went to find Xia Tian now, he would definitely be courting death, but she no longer wanted to remind Zhuge Wentian, because Zhuge Wentian was no longer worthy of her concern.

"What if I regret it? The worst that can happen is that I will die!" Zhuge Wentian snorted, "You wait here. After my golden elixir is fully developed, I will tell Xia Tian that you are here. I hope you will still be alive by then!"

After saying this, Zhuge Wentian disappeared in a flash.

A few minutes later, Zhuge Wentian returned to the villa, but he couldn't find Xia Tian after looking around. Just when he was feeling strange, he suddenly heard some noise coming from the rooftop. He hurried to the rooftop and saw Xia Tian sitting on a recliner, looking relaxed and comfortable.

"In the summer, you must like frost very much, right?" Zhuge Wentian asked.

"Yes, I like her very much. It's not easy to meet such a beautiful and well-behaved maid like her. I think it will be difficult for me to find such a good maid again." Xia Tian answered seriously.

"Then, for her, you should be willing to make some sacrifices, right?" Zhuge Wentian asked again.

"Oh, you mean, let me turn you into a Jindan stage master?" Xia Tian asked lazily.

Zhuge Wentian's expression changed slightly: "You, how did you know?"

"Besides being omnipotent, I am also omniscient." Xia Tian stood up and stretched. "But I have to tell you some very unfortunate news. Although I am willing to do something for the pretty and well-behaved Shuang girl, I will not turn you into a golden elixir master. I plan to turn you into something else."

"What?" Zhuge Wentian began to feel something was wrong. Xia Tian was too calm, which was a bit abnormal.

"A dead person!" Xia Tian curled his lips.

“You, you want to kill me?” Zhuge Wentian’s face changed. “Xia Tian, ​​if you kill me, Gu Hanshuang will be dead too. Let me tell you, I hid her in a place where no one can find her. She was also poisoned and can’t hold on for too long. If you turn me into a Jindan master right away, I will tell you her whereabouts. Otherwise…ah, how is this possible?”

Before Zhuge Wentian could finish his words, he suddenly exclaimed, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost on his face. He suddenly saw an extremely beautiful Taoist nun appear behind Xia Tian. It was Gu Hanshuang!

Gu Hanshuang's appearance stunned Zhuge Wentian for a moment, and his stunned state led him to a dead end. Xia Tian suddenly pounced on Zhuge Wentian and slapped him on the body.

"Puff!" Zhuge Wentian opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He collapsed to the ground, his face pale, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant. This time, Xia Tian's palm was no longer merciful.

"No, it's impossible. I clearly brought her there. How could she appear here..." Zhuge Wentian supported himself with one hand, half raised his body, and looked at Gu Hanshuang with disbelief. He couldn't understand why Gu Hanshuang was poisoned and taken away by him, but now she appeared in front of him and looked fine.

"Shuang girl, do you want to kill this guy yourself?" Xia Tian ignored Zhuge Wentian who was already half dead, but turned to look at Gu Hanshuang and asked.

"Young Master, you should handle it." Gu Hanshuang shook her head slightly. She didn't want to do it herself.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? Otherwise, I will die with regrets." Zhuge Wentian already knew that he was going to die. The only thing he wanted to know now was how Gu Hanshuang was okay.

"If you want to die with your eyes open, then die with your eyes open. It's none of my business!" Xia Tian curled his lips and stepped on Zhuge Wentian's chest. With a little force, Zhuge Wentian let out a miserable groan, and then he was completely silent. There was one less immortal cultivator in this world.

After retracting his foot, Xia Tian took out his cell phone and called Mu Han: "Wife, I've settled the matter here. Tell someone to tell that guy named Tao Zhize that the robber is dead. Let him collect the body!"
