124 Fight to the Death; Gu Changge Revealing His Greatest Secret!

Even if Chi Ling was beaten to death now, she probably wouldnt believe that Gu Changge was the successor of the Taboo Inheritance.

She didnt even know that Gu Changge was the reason Ye Ling was in his current situation.

After allGu Changge and Ye Ling had never met before, so how could there be any hatred between the two of them?

There must be a conflict between the two of them for Gu Changge to target Ye Ling, right?

The thought never even crossed Chi Lings mind.

Right now, she was reveling in joy because of Gu Changges help.

Lady Chi Ling, since you trust Ye Ling so much, then you must know Ye Lings whereabouts, right?

Right then, Gu Changge asked with a puzzled expression.

I dont know, but I can find a way to contact him.

Chi Ling thought for a moment and then told him the truth.

After all, she needed Gu Changges help, so how could she gain his trust if she didnt tell him the truth?

Thats good.

Gu Changge couldnt help but smile when he received the answer he desired.

It just so happened that he was trying to figure out a way to find Ye Lings whereabouts when the Heavens blessed him with this Chi Ling!

Afterwards, the two of them talked about other matters while wandering around the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace before reaching the Supreme Peak where Gu Changge resided.

From a distance, Chi Ling could see a beautiful woman with a flawless face and figure standing in front of a glorious palaces gate. The woman had her arms crossed before her chest, and resembled a fairy untouched by the dust of the mortal world looking at everything with a cold gaze.

Her silk-like hair and robes fluttered because of the wind, and accentuated her proud figure.

In the eyes of the onlookers, however, she looked like a peerless Empress looking down on everything with a terrifying aura.

Chi Ling couldnt help but shiver involuntarily.

Brother Changge, she is Crown Princess Mingkong, right?

Chi Ling asked with a nervous tone.

She couldnt help but force herself to put on a smile. Although she was a Young Supreme who normally put on a cold and arrogant front, she couldnt help but lower her head out of some fear when the woman in front of her stared down on her.

Gu Changge smiled and said to her,Shes been a little angry with me recently for various reasons, so you dont need to worry about her expression.

A little angry?

Chi Ling was stunned by his response but immediately recovered.

Wouldnt the fact that she walked around everywhere with Gu Changge cause some sort of misunderstanding now that Yue Mingkong saw the two of them together?

For some reason, she felt that she had to explain the truth of the matter to Yue Mingkong, so as to make sure that Yue Mingkong wouldnt misunderstand anything.

It wasnt that she feared Yue Mingkong, but that she didnt want to offend her over such a minor matter.

In her opinion, at least, Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong were a match made in heaven. Many Young Supremes in the Upper Realm were tied together through an arranged marriage, but none of them could compare to the two of them.

Be it status, appearance, or talent, the two of them were perfect for each other.

Whats more? She had developed an even better impression of Gu Changge after talking to him for so long.

I am worried that Crown Princess Mingkong will misunderstand us.

Chi Ling said.

Misunderstand us? She wont misunderstand anything.

Gu Changge replied with a smile.

Chi Ling no longer dwelled on the matter after listening to Gu Changges confident tone.

At the same time, she felt that Yue Mingkong was indeed as mighty as they claimed in the rumors. She was still young, yet already gave off the aura of a peerless Empress overlooking everything.

Afterwards, Chi Ling prepared to take her leave, but before leaving, she stood on her spot and thought for a while before saying,By the way, Daoist Brother Changge, I was wondering who among the Young Supremes could be the true successor of the Taboo Inheritanc?

Gu Changges interest rose as he listened to her and asked,Who do you think it might be, Lady Chi Ling?

He didnt believe that Chi Ling would guess him to be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance, but the prospects of getting a new blame-bearer after Ye Ling interested him.

In my opinion, the most likely suspect is none other than the Ancient Immortal Ye Familys Young Master, Ye Langtianof course, thats just my guess, and it might not be him. Its just that he showed far too much malice towards Ye Ling

Chi Ling went silent for a few moments and then replied to Gu Changge.

She knew about Gu Changge and Ye Langtians friendship, but she believed that Gu Changge wouldnt go behind her back and rat her out to Ye Langtian.

She believed in Gu Changges character.

Ye Langtians words and actions filled her mind with doubts about him.

Oh! You think it might be Brother Ye?

Gu Changge couldnt help but chuckle at her words, and then asked with great interest,Your words surprised me, Lady Chi Ling! I wonder why you dont suspect me to be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance?

Chi Ling didnt even need to think for a response when he asked that question, and replied with a shake of her head,Brother Changge, you have an esteemed status and you are destined for a great future! How can someone like you be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance? Someone like you wouldnt even need to think about something like that.

Anyone in the younger generation could be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance, but not Gu Changge.

That was impossible!

After all, a day would definitely come when the identity of the Taboo Inheritances successor would come to light, and Gu Changges esteemed identities destined him to never take that path.

Unless, of course, there was something wrong with his brain that made him willing to give up the identity of the Ancient Immortal Gu Familys Young Master and the identity of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palaces future Palace Master.

Or maybe, if he was confident enough to reach invincibility that allowed him to subdue the entire world in the future.

I never expected Lady Chi Ling to put so much trust in me! This Gu is truly honored.

Gu Changge replied with a deep smile.

Afterwards, Chi Ling turned into a brilliant ray of light and left for her Familys residence to prepare for the moment when the Ancient Immortal Continent would be opened.

The smile on Gu Changges face disappeared and he walked towards his palace.

That was Chi Ling, the Holy Maiden of the Vermillion Bird Family, right?

Yue Mingkong asked him outside the palace.

Of course, she knew Chi Ling, who was one of Ye Lings close confidantes in their previous life.

In this life, however, Chi Ling was talking and laughing with Gu Changge like they were friends, and that surprised Yue Mingkong.

On one hand, Ye Ling was framed by Gu Changge and had nowhere to go as he hid from the world lest they beat him to death, and on the other hand, Gu Changge went around getting close to Ye Lings future beauty and discussed who knows whatever with her.

Yue Mingkong had no idea what to say about this.

It appeared that Chi Ling was also one of his pawns that was destined to be used by Gu Changge.

Mingkong, so you recognize her, eh?

Gu Changge asked with a smile and then reached out his arm to pull Yue Mingkongs slender waist closer to him, but Yue Mingkong moved back and avoided his touch.

Visible rage could be seen in her pair of eyes that wished to blow him up, and she made it clear that there was no way she would let him touch her.

Mingkong, are you still angry with your husband?

Gu Changge felt his head ache and said with a sigh,You have been angry with your husband since that night! Just when will you give up this rage?

It would have been great if he didnt mention that night, but now that he did, the rage in Yue Mingkongs eyes flared up and a cold light flashed past her pupils.

She sent innumerable people to investigate the matter, but none of them could discover the identity of the woman Gu Changge went out to meet that night.

The news about Ye Ling inheriting the Taboo Inheritance and various other events and uproars made it almost impossible for her to find out the truth.

Even now, Yue Mingkong had no idea what method Gu Changge used to put the blame on Ye Lings head so easily.

Dont try to touch me if you arent going to tell me that vixens identity!

Yue Mingkong gave Gu Changge a cold glare

You will know what you are meant to know, but make sure you dont ask about what you shouldnt know. But then again, Mingkong, dont you have some suspicions about your husband about everything that happened?

The smile on Gu Changges face vanished after he heard his words, and he watched her with an expression of interest.

Yue Mingkong felt her heart freeze when she heard Gu Changges words and understood the meaning behind them.

Still, she made sure to not show any abnormality on her face as she asked,What suspicions?

Gu Changge shook his head with a regretful expression and said,With how smart you are, you should know not to pretend in front of me.

Yue Mingkong narrowed her phoenix eyes as a ray of vigilance flashed past them, and a short sword covered in brilliant runes silently appeared in her hand hidden inside her sleeve.

She understood Gu Changge well.

The more casual he acted, the worse the blade that would get pushed through your heart.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

She had followed Gu Changge everywhere and seen almost everything he did and everywhere he went.

Gu Changge easily put the entire Taboo Inheritance on Ye Lings head and the most crucial part about that entire matter? Bai Lies corpse that showed signs of getting ravaged by the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art].

It was the exposure of Bai Lies corpse that confirmed Ye Lings identity as the successor of the Taboo Inheritance.

As for how Bai Lie died? Yue Mingkong understood that better than anyone else.

It happened when Gu Changge left their courtyard that night and disappeared off to who knows where.

She could pretend not to know, but that wouldnt help her in any way. As long as she wasnt dumb, Gu Changge could tell that she could tell that either he was the successor of the Taboo Inheritance, or he had something to do with the actual successor of the Taboo Inheritance.

Both guesses led to Gu Changges greatest secret.

Its just that she already knew about Gu Changges greatest secret due to her regression to the past its just that she didnt reveal the truth and kept acting like she had no idea about his secret.

But the events that took place recently made it so that she couldnt not know Gu Changges secret

Right now, Gu Changge thought of her as someone who knew the fact that he was the successor of the Taboo Inheritance.

All of it sounded far-fetched, but it was the truth.

The reason Gu Changge didnt talk about the matter before was probably to see how she would react after finding out the truth about him.

The identity of the Taboo Inheritances successor was Gu Changges greatest secret, and he wouldnt allow anyone who knew about it to live.

Soshe had been in quite some danger over the last few days.

Gu Changge could have killed her at any moment!

With Gu Changges character, he definitely didnt give a damn about their meager relationship.

Its just that Gu Changge had yet to decide when, where, and how he would kill her, so Yue Mingkong couldnt help but raise her vigilance when she heard Gu Changge ask that question out of nowhere right now.

The Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace was Gu Changges backyard and he even had a Great Sacred Realm master hiding in the dark, so killing her wouldnt be hard for him if he desired to do so.

Yue Mingkongs phoenix eyes turned cold and she recalled the scene of the night of her wedding from her previous life. At the same time, she could feel the all-so-familiar murderous intent from that night, too.

She never thought that she would have to battle Gu Changge to death so soon in this life.

The relationship between the two of them although there wasnt much communication between the two of them and Gu Changge even made fun of her every now and then made Yue Mingkong somewhat unwilling to go down that route.

She never experienced something like that in her previous life.

[Hum!]

The runes inside up her sleeve increased and revolved in full speed as Yue Mingkong tightened her grasp on her sword.

She had made a lot of preparations to deal with Gu Changge, but right now, she estimated that she only had a thirty percent chance of coming out on top.

Mingkong, I am liking you more and more! You are beautiful, sensible, decent, and powerfulyou are an ideal and perfect wife.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Changges face and he approached Yue Mingkong while talking.

An ideal and perfect wife?

Gu Changges words shook Yue Mingkong and she was somewhat stunned.

But soon, she realized that Gu Changge was using words to break down her defenses it was obvious that he had decided to lay down all of his cards before her now.

A chill went down Yue Mingkongs back as she came to this realization.

Mingkong, you are so smart, so why do you pretend to not understand anything? So many days have passed, so you should have figured everything out, no?

Gu Changge sighed with regret.

What are you talking about, Changge? I dont understand your words.

Yue Mingkong coldly stared at Gu Changge, but she knew that he was talking about the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art].

Are you still not willing to say the truth?

Gu Changge continued with a light sigh,You should already know that Ye Lings not the successor of the Taboo Inheritance, hes the successor of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation you are the one who told me this.

The rumors that spread around should have made it clear to you, so why are you pretending to not know anything?

Yue Mingkong fell silent after listening to his words.

Right now, even if she said that she didnt understand anything, it wouldnt matter.

Are you going to kill me now?

Yue Mingkong stared at Gu Changge and continued,I know that you are the true successor of the Taboo Inheritance.

Gu Changges expression showed no change and he chuckled at her response and said,See! You should have confessed earlier, instead of wasting time by pretending not to know.

The fact that I am the successor of the Taboo Inheritance is important, indeed, and I do want to kill you

Gu Changge stopped speaking after saying that and showed a regretful expression.

Oh! So why havent you done it then?

Yue Mingkong asked with a puzzled expression.

Gu Changge had already revealed the fact that she knew about his identity as the successor of the Taboo Inheritance, so why didnt he strike to murder her?

Gu Changge showed a meaningful smile and responded to her question with,Its because I cant bear to!

What?!

Yue Mingkong was stunned by his words, and her eyes widened in surprise as she wondered if she had misheard him.

She knew Gu Changges greatest secret, yet he couldnt bear to kill her?

Right now, she was somewhat stunned as she never expected Gu Changge to say such a thing.

You arent going to kill me

Yue Mingkong still couldnt believe what she heard.

Mingkong, it seems that you have a serious misunderstanding about your husband,Gu Changge responded to her with a calm expression, and then continued with a shake of his head,Why would I let you know all of this if I really wanted to kill you?
