Chapter 776: Finally Falling Out
Qian Ye didn’t answer, choosing to stay silent, but Gu Fan continued relentlessly, "You know, Qian Feng also told me something. She knows how to break this witchcraft by returning the heads of the seven headless people, as do you. But you insist on playing ignorant, which only deepens my suspicions about you."
Su Hui interjected, "So when you proposed splitting into teams, Gu Fan knew that this was his opportunity to catch you out."
With a slight furrow in her brow, Qian Ye responded, "So that’s why you secretly installed a tracking device on Gu Fan. You knew I would harm him."
"I asked Su Hui to install it because I had the feeling you would be up to no good." After saying this, Gu Fan’s face darkened, his voice growing serious. "I voiced my opinion, suggesting that you, with your depleted supernatural powers and severe injuries, would be in greater danger if you stayed to confront Qian Feng. This disrupted your plans to stay longer. At that moment, you knew that if I were to leave safe and sound, I would definitely try my utmost to send you back to ancient times as agreed and bring back Lin Xi. Therefore, you would not let this happen. You absolutely wouldn’t allow me to leave safely. Given that you had previously tried to hurt Xiaoling, you would definitely do the same to me."
Hearing these words, Qian Ye was taken aback for a moment and then burst into laughter. "Impressive, you’ve got most of it right. You really are extraordinary. No wonder Lin Xi fell for you."
"So, you admit it then." Su Hui was tense, her weapon at the ready.
"You’re right. I do love this world – why would I ever want to go back to ancient times? Of course, I’ll try everything I can to stay." The moment Qian Ye finished speaking, Gu Fan became flustered. "By staying, won’t you disrupt history? You are the Empress Qianye, you have many things left to do, like cursing this ancient town."
Qian Ye was nonchalant: "Isn’t Lin Xi here? She can do those things."
Gu Fan shook his head. "You still have to cast a spell for reincarnation. Without your reincarnation, Lin Xi wouldn’t exist. And without Lin Xi, why would we even bring you over from ancient times in the first place? Everything would be out of order."
