Let’s Keep It Going

"Do you still like Gu Ling?" Yan Qiqi looked coldly at the girl in plain clothes kneeling at his feet.

The girl was beating Yan Qi Qi's legs. When she heard this, her face stiffened and she said nothing.

Yan Shiqi slapped her to the ground, then stepped on her, his remaining left eye burning with anger, "Just because Gu Ling is good-looking? You women are all bitches! Bitches!"

The girl slowly got up, knelt in front of Yan Shiqi, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Master, I only hate Gu Ling now. He is a heartless person and doesn't care about anyone."

Yan Qiqi snorted, "What do you mean, don't you mean that if he waves, you will pounce on him? But he will not wave to you, haha. Nian Ruting, if I capture Gu Ling, you will kill him with your own hands. Do you dare to kill him?"

The Nian clan that once existed in the capital has long since ceased to exist. The reason was that the well-known and talented Fourth Miss Nian Ruxue and the insignificant Fifth Miss Nian Ruting teamed up to cheat in martial arts exams and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

On the day when the incident was revealed, Nian Ruxue was at home. When her captors arrived, she had already disappeared.

Nian Ruting was in the center of the whirlpool and had no chance to escape. After entering the prison, in order to lure Gu Ling to rescue her, she betrayed Nian Jincheng, claiming that he had secretly interacted with Gu Ling, who was still a fugitive rebel at the time, leading to Nian Ruting's death. Jincheng also entered the prison.

That night at the top of Wangxiang Mountain, Yan Shiba, who was invited by Su Liang, captured Duanmu Che and went to change the year of Jincheng.

In that transaction, Su Liangming was sent by the royal family to rescue Duanmu Che. In the process, Duanmu Che exchanged the Nian brothers and sisters at the same time, causing Nian Ruting to leave Tianlao. It was because Duanmu Yi and Duanmu Chen were at that time. The father and son originally planned to wait for Nian Jincheng to escape, and then use Nian Ruting, Gu Ling's unknown fiancée, to force Gu Ling to show up.

Of course it won't work, but Su Liang felt that the royal family must have a way to ruin Gu Ling's reputation, so it would be better to deal with it once and for all to avoid being criticized again.

Nian Ruting was thrown off the cliff by Su Liang himself, and the person following her was Yan Shiqi arranged by Yan Shiba.

The purpose of that time was to save Nian Jincheng, and he succeeded. He was sent to Su Liang's home by Yan Shiba.

Yan Shiba came and went in such a hurry that Su Liang forgot to ask Nian Ruting how to deal with it. But Yan Shiba has not forgotten that she told Yan Shiqi to kill Nian Ruting and throw her into a mass grave.

If Ruting is still alive this year, it was Yan Qiqi who saved her life. At that time, Yan Shiqi really tried to strangle her to death, which also caused injuries to her vocal cords and made her voice hoarse.

The reason why Yan Shiqi showed mercy at the last moment was because he saw his own reflection on Nian Ruting's face. Nian Ruting's infatuation and persistence for Gu Ling are very similar to Yan Shiqi who follows Yan Shiba like a shadow.

But Yan Shiqi did not let Yan Shiba know that he did not kill Nian Ruting. Because Yan Yun Tower is jointly run by two people, and Yan Qi Qi also has great power and has many of his cronies, it is too easy to hide it from Yan Shi Ba, who has no suspicion about him.

Yan Qiqi even found someone to treat Nian Ruting's broken leg. Now she can move freely, but she can still walk with a limp.

At this moment, Yan Shiqi asked Nian Ruting if she dared to kill Gu Ling? In fact, he was also asking himself, is he willing to kill Yan Shiba?

the answer is negative.

When he thought of Yan Shiba's death, his long-standing infatuation ached, followed by reluctance. He paid so much and got nothing, how could he be willing to do so?

Without waiting for Nian Ruting to answer, Yan Qi Qi sneered, "Wait, if Gu Ling dares to show up, I will arrest him, and then use his life to force Shi Ba to marry me! Hahahaha!"

Kneeling on the ground, Nian Ruting's originally stagnant eyes suddenly moved, and she looked up at Yan Qiqi. The face that was originally three points more beautiful than Nian Ruxue was thin and pale, and she said in a hoarse voice, " Master, let Gu Ling marry me! This will make Yan Shiba give up!"

Yan Qiqi looked at Nian Ruting and narrowed his eyes, "No wonder you were fooled in the past. There is something wrong with your brain! If Gu Ling ignored you, you wouldn't be like this now. Don't tell me that you Is there any way to get him to marry you? Is it because you saved his mother? "

Nian Ruting's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, "I...I have a marriage contract with him! His mother made it!"

Yan Qiqi snorted, "I remember correctly, it was Nian Ruxue who was engaged to him. Even if Nian Ruxue really took away your credit, the only thing you should have done in the first place was to kill Nian Ruxue!" idiot!"

Nian Ruting's face was sullen, and Yan Qiqi suddenly sneered again, "As long as you serve me well, when you catch Gu Ling, you won't be able to find a way to make him do good things with you."

"Thank you, Master!" Nian Ruting kowtowed.

Yan Qi Qi had known for a long time that Yan Sui had died at the hands of "Ning Jing". He had also dealt with "Ning Jing" in Xunyang City.

Yan Shiqi was also surprised when he learned that "Ning Jing" was dead, but he did not think of Gu Ling. Yan Sui, who was once invincible in the eyes of Yan Qiyi, could die. It is not impossible for Yan Qiyi that someone stronger than "Ning Jing" appears and kills him.

The key is that only Yan Shiba knows that "Su Liang likes Gu Ling".

Although Yan Shiba always asked people from Yanyun Tower to find Gu Ling, he never told anyone, including Yan Shiqi, that he was looking for Su Liang. Including that time when she saved Nian Jincheng, Yan Shiqi asked why, and Yan Shiba casually said that she wanted to use Nian Jincheng to force Gu Ling to show up.

The two of them have been like that since they were little. Yan Shiqi was heart-to-heart, Yan Shiba was yelling at him, and when he didn't need him, he didn't bother to say another word to him.

As a result, Yan Shiqi misunderstood that Yan Shiba liked Gu Ling and had been looking for him. Gu Ling was just a legendary beauty to Yan Shiqi, and he didn't know anything else, and he had no connection with Su Liang at all.

It was not until last night that Yan Shiqi personally admitted that she liked Gu Ling. At that time, she was desperate, just to deceive Yan Shiqi, and she absolutely couldn't let Yan Shiqi know that her real crush was a little monk in Huguo Temple.

The resentment and unwillingness accumulated in Yan Shiqi's heart finally broke out after escaping death in Yan Country.

He blocked the knife for Yan Shiba and almost died. Yan Shiba thought he was dead, or didn't care whether he was dead or not, and ran away for his own life. If it weren't for Nian Ruting, who followed secretly and saved Yan Shiqi, he would have died.

After Yan Shiqi recovered from his injury, he found his confidant in Yanyun Tower, seized Yan Shiba's power, and chased her for hundreds of miles.

This is also the reason why Gu Ling wanted to lure Yan Shiba out two months ago, but it was always unsuccessful. At that time, Yanyun Tower was engaged in internal strife.

When Yan Shiqi saw Yan Shiba again, he mentioned Su Liang.

"Why don't I invite the sister Liang you mentioned to accompany you?" Yan Shiqi looked at Yan Shiba's expression.

Yan Shiba laughed when he heard it, "Please, please! Go now!"

Yan Shiqi's expression changed, and he felt that there was a trick. He had known for a long time that Su Liang was very difficult, but it was because of "Ning Jing" at that time.

"Ning Jing" died, Yan Shiba still hoped that Su Liang would come to save her? Why?

Yan Shiqi stared, "Is there a master around Su Liang?"

Yan Shiba snorted, "Are you afraid?"

Yan Shiqi thought of more, "No wonder she went all the way from the village to the capital, smooth sailing, unscathed, who is her master?"

"It's your grandfather!" Yan Shiba snorted coldly, "I miss sister Liang, you go find her quickly! If you don't find her, you are a coward!"

Yan Shiqi thought that Yan Shiba was provoking her, and it didn't seem to be a good thing to provoke Su Liang and expose himself at this moment.

Thinking of this, Yan Shiqi left straight away and never mentioned the matter of catching Su Liang again.

Yan Shiba could show the opposite reaction and ask Yan Shiqi not to touch Su Liang, so Yan Shiqi would definitely go to find her.

But Yan Shiba didn't want Yan Shiqi to find Su Liang at this time when she was sure that Yan Shiqi would not kill her. Although she thought Gu Ling should be with Su Liang, this was just her guess. What if Gu Ling was not there and went to do something else temporarily? Su Liang could not withstand the strength of the entire Yanyun Building.

On the one hand, Yan Shiba didn't want Su Liang to get into trouble, and on the other hand, Su Liang was fine, so there was a chance to save Yan Shiba from trouble.

Therefore, when Yan Shiba heard Yan Shiqi mention the word Su Liang, he made up his mind: Yan Shiqi couldn't go to find Su Liang, and it was better to let Yan Shiqi find Gu Ling.

The two are not the same.

Su Liang has always been in the open, and the mysterious Gu Ling has not yet appeared. After Gu Ling appears, Yan Shiqi will find him, no matter what he wants to do, he will never succeed. Even if Su Liang was always by Gu Ling's side, as long as the target was not her, Gu Ling would block it for her.

"Stinky couple... you two really know how to play..." Yan Shiba began to complain about Gu Ling and Su Liang again, "I really want to hug Brother Xiaoyun..."

...

When Su Liang and his party arrived in Pingbei City, it was evening.

She had accompanied Gu Ling to Pingbei City to participate in the provincial examination and bought a house here. Last time she passed by and left directly when she returned to Beijing, this time she still booked an inn for others to stay. She took Bai Xiaohu and Qi Jun to live in the Su Mansion in Pingbei City.

Qi Jun and Bai Xiaohu lived in the same courtyard, and Su Liang lived in the courtyard where she had lived with Gu Ling.

As night fell, Qi Jun and Bai Xiaohu went to the restaurant for dinner, but Su Liang did not go, saying that she was very tired today and did not want to eat.

The truth was that Gu Ling had secretly bought delicious food back.

Returning to the place where he used to live, Su Liang sighed, "It was just last year, but it feels like a long time ago. Master and Xueqing have settled in the capital and will not come back here easily."

The Lin family originally lived in Pingbei City. After the two sons passed the imperial examinations and became officials, Lin Shuzhi still stayed in Qianshan Academy as the dean, and Lin Xueqing also grew up in the academy.

Recalling how they met last year, Gu Ling was still pretending to be Lin Shuzhi's disciple "Ning Jing". When he met Lin Xueqing in Qianshan Academy, he was called "Brother Jing".

At that time, there was Zheng'er, who Su Liang and Gu Ling rescued with the little monk Chengyun on the way to Pingbei City. It was also here that he met Wan Hui. Before Wan Hui came to pick up Zheng'er, Gu Ling once put Zheng'er in a bamboo basket and carried him to Qianshan Academy to play.

At this moment, Gu Ling listened to Su Liang talking about the past, his voice was brisk and particularly pleasant.

"God, if you were given a chance to start over, would you go back to the same path?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." Because you are on this path...

It was late at night, and Gu Ling said he wanted to go to Qianshan Academy. Su Liang was not sleepy, so they went out secretly.

...

Standing on the back hill of Qianshan Academy, Gu Ling looked up at the sky, and the moon was covered by dark clouds.

Su Liang was looking at three trees standing side by side, which were planted by Lin Boyan, Lin Bojun and the real Ning Jing when they were children.

"Will Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng be in Beijing now?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling nodded, "Yes."

"If you don't show up, Nian Jincheng can't restore his identity first, and the risk is a bit high. If I don't go back, there is no way to match them up." Su Liang sighed, "Their wedding date will be postponed again."

"Don't be so anxious." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang shook his head, "This is what you don't understand, Master. People who love each other naturally want to get married early, especially Nian Jincheng. Wasn't Xing Yusheng the same at the beginning? Master, you are not in love yet, so you can't understand them."

Gu Ling turned around in silence, with his back to Su Liang, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know who was the one who was not in love yet...

But Gu Ling has not confessed to Su Liang yet, firstly because Su Liang is "still young", he wants to follow the rules of her previous life and wait until she is eighteen years old.

Su Liang said that falling in love before the age of eighteen is easy to affect study, and the body is not mature.

And Su Liang has indeed been studying and is very busy.

Secondly, Gu Ling feels that Su Liang now has no love for him, worships him, respects him, and treats him as a close friend and brother, trusting him unconditionally, without any distractions.

But the above two problems are not big. If Gu Ling confesses his love, he can pursue Su Liang and let Su Liang like him, and then do intimate things after he turns 18.

And this is the problem.

Gu Ling thought that if he confessed his love, Su Liang accepted to date him, and the relationship between the two became a couple, he might not be able to wait for Su Liang to grow up...

Now, Gu Ling occasionally looked at Su Liang, and he was already suppressing the desire to get close. Although he did not show it.

"Master? Master?" Su Liang called Gu Ling twice, and pulled his sleeve again, and he came back to his senses.

"What were you thinking about just now?" Su Liang asked curiously.

Gu Ling wanted to blurt out "I miss you", but still gave up and said casually, "I was thinking, if I jump from here, what is the chance of survival."

Gu Ling was standing at the cliff below. Su Liang glanced down and chuckled, "Master, this kind of curiosity is a bit dangerous. I'm really worried that you will want to taste the poisonous grass one day and kill yourself."

"I'm not a fool." Gu Ling said in a faint tone.

Su Liang shook his head, "You are not a fool, but you won't do stupid things. It's two different things."

Gu Ling thought, indeed, he is doing stupid things now, the moonlight... Although it's not very good, why not take the opportunity to confess? Maybe the result will be very good? But what if Su Liang refuses and says that he just wants to be friends with him, what should I do...

Su Liang found that Gu Ling was distracted again, pulled his sleeve and turned around, "Master, don't sleepwalk, go back. We have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Su Liang let go and walked in front. Gu Ling looked at her slender back and thought silently in his heart: Or, let's take care of it a little longer...
