Chapter 1041: Secret

You have a secret youd be willing to tell me? To protect your sons life? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Xuan Ya quickly nodded.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively and said: For now, dont tell me that secret yet. I actually want to tell you about my decision before anything else

He looked at her and sincerely said: I wont kill your son, regardless of what the secret youre going to tell me is, and this wont change

Xuan Ya froze, then realized what he implied.

-if I told Gu Qing Shan the secret first, everything that he decides, later on, would feel like it was done because he obtained that secret.

But Gu Qing Shan had decided to make his decision first.

This way, it would no longer be us trading the secret for a life.

Me using the secret to trade for my sons life was a kind of transaction, but to be frank, it would be more akin to a type of threat or force of hand.

this person had realized all of this as he saw this seemingly easy-to-obtain secret.

This is exceptional precisely because normal people wouldnt consider things from this angle and instead choose to hear the secret first.

Xuan Ya looked at Gu Qing Shan with a complicated expression.

This person isnt willing to use threats or force to decide the fate of my child.

Then, for what reason did he recount his conversation with the Previous Kings in front of me?

Without leaving her time to think any further, Gu Qing Shan continued to explain:

Xuan Ya, I hope youll understand something clearly first, we arent the type of people to kill just anybody

He slowly continued:

If we need to sacrifice the life of a 3-year-old child to solve our problem, that would only prove one thing: that we are a bunch of talentless garbage Boss, what do you say?

Boss scoffed and replied: You were too long-winded, of course, it would be that way

Gu Qing Shans gaze then turned to Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao cleared his throat: There are three kinds of people that my hitman firm wont kill: pregnant women, young children, and the elderly

Gu Qing Shan turned to Laura.

Laura smiled sweetly and said: Whoever Gu Qing Shan says we should kill, that person would be the Bramble Bird Kingdoms enemy

Gu Qing Shan turned to Ye Fei Li.

Ye Fei Li manifested a canned drink for Boss and replied: When doing ranked matches, I like to play as a support more than anything else, because these are characters that truly test the limit of skill I dont particularly like to kill people at the moment unless I don the mask

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze back at Xuan Ya and slowly stated:

As you can see, we dont like to threaten others, or would we kill your son. We seek to gain another trustworthy long-term friend and not a stranger that can be discarded after taking advantage of one another

Xuan Ya went silent briefly, then said something.

Ye Fei Li relayed her message: She said, have you always been so dumb pfft

As soon as he said that, he couldnt contain his laughter.

Dumb?

Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Qing Shan with strange expressions on their faces.

Gu Qing Shan didnt show any particular reaction and spoke seriously: In reality, Ive killed countless people- a lot more than all of your previous kings combined

Im quite similar to Ying Hao, were both people who wont hesitate to kill when necessary

Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword from the void of space, his gaze focused on the blade of the sword.

A faint killing intent slowly exuded from between him and the sword.

Gu Qing Shan continued: Simply put, those who truly use the sword arent very different from me

Hearing that, Xuan Ya appeared confused.

those who truly use the sword?

Gu Qing Shan continued: A sword is forged with two edges, one edge to kill, one edge to save

Under my sword, not a single person among those who deserve to die can live, and not a single of those who deserve to live can die- even if theyre dead, I will return them to life

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan pulled his sword back and slightly bowed, as if to greet Xuan Ya:

Very soon, I will revive you. Hopefully, during our later battles, you will stand on our side

If you happen to see how I kill people with remorse later on, please make a note to prepare yourself for such a sight

Xuan Ya looked at him in surprise, then replied after a long while.

Ye Fei Li relayed her message: In truth, she had already thought of you as being trustworthy when you helped her calm her son down, but she was worried that you were too kind so she had hesitated all this time

Kind!?

Everyone looked at Gu Qing Shan with strange expressions again.

Gu Qing Shan glared at them.

Everyone regained their senses and glanced back at Xuan Ya.

What kind of eyes does this woman have?

Everyone silently thought.

However, Laura lightly nodded, seemingly agreeing with her.

Seeing that Gu Qing Shan didnt intend to say anything, Xuan Ya continued.

Ye Fei Li relayed: She asked if you have the golden ring that belonged to the king

Here Laura cut them off.

She gave the ring back to Gu Qing Shan, then unnaturally became flushed.

in the God of Lifes ruin, when Gu Qing Shan needed to take a temporary leave, he gave her this ring so that she could use it.

And now, it was returned to him again.

Xuan Ya stared intently at the golden ring and seemingly sighed in relief.

She nodded and continued:

She said that she had finally understood what kind of person you are, and had made her decision to face this battle together with you. This time, as a final gambit for the sake of all Demis of Calming Soul Country

How do we do that? Gu Qing Shan asked.

She said that there are a total of four rings in Calming Soul Country, one Ring of the Sovereign and three Rings of the guardians

Once these four rings are gathered, they would be able to command all Demis from their souls

Ba-dump!

Gu Qing Shan was able to hear his heart beat faster.

This is truly a secret!

Gu Qing Shan quickly regained his senses and asked: The four fake Gods were original Demis, so are they within the range of those that can be commanded as well?

That is exactly the case, she said that you currently have one Ring of the Sovereign and one Ring of the guardian in your hand, as long as you can find the other two rings, youd be able to command them to hand over what you want

The four fake Gods would definitely not take this into consideration, because as soon as the royal family and guardians tried anything against them, the monster would surely come for revenge

Because of that, this method can only be used once

Gu Qing Shan grinned and replied: Once is quite enough

If they can indeed command the four fake Gods, gathering the four pieces of Water Gods Card could be extremely simple!

Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances with the others, finally seeing a ray of hope.

Regaining his composure, Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down.

He asked Xuan Ya: Today at the strike of noon, the kings coronation will be conducted would the four fake Gods really show up at that time?

Xuan Ya nodded and explained.

Ye Fei Li relayed the message: She said that the four fake Gods would never gather, unless it is an extremely serious occasion

Due to the death of basically the entire royal family, the child is the only final member of their bloodline, the four fake Gods will surely show up in order to host the ceremony for the new kings coronation

Because of that, this will be the only chance to see all four fake Gods

While listening, Gu Qing Shan slowly nodded.

Thank you for your information, your secret is extremely crucial to our plan he sincerely told her.

Xuan Ya appeared hesitant, but still gritted her teeth and said something.

As sharp as Gu Qing Shan was, he didnt wait for Ye Fei Li to relay the message and immediately replied: Dont worry, I will make sure to ensure your sons safety

Thats not it, she hoped that you would be able to save all the Demis of Calming Soul Country

Ye Fei Li continued: Even though it is a highly unreasonable request, the Demis are all innocent, so she wishes for you to save them all as well

Gu Qing Shan appeared troubled and replied: It isnt a simple task to save so many people, not to mention, most of the Demis are completely clueless of what had been happening they must at least have someone to lead them to be able to cooperate with me on the same goal

Xuan Ya said something in reply.

Ye Fei Li said: She asked if you can really revive her

Gu Qing Shan used his inner sight to scan inside his Thought Sea and noticed that the Heaven sword was moving just a bit.

Luo Bing Li had only just awoken from her sleep, yawning.

Gu Qing Shan silently said sorry to Luo Bing Li and replied: Thats right, I can revive her

Xuan Ya nodded, then said something else.

Ye Fei Li appeared surprised and relayed what she said: She said that the prince is only three years old and hasnt reached the age of maturity. According to the kingdoms laws, a direct blood-relative of his must temporarily be responsible for his authority in the meantime

She had kept up communication with the other two guardians, and maintained a relatively amiable relationship with them

She said that within this world of Calming Soul Country, the Demis have all known about the existence of the guardians as the true protectors of this kingdom, but they do not know who exactly is a guardian

Since she is both a guardian and the mother of the king, as long as she steps forward, she would surely receive their support

and she is willing to take on the position of queen regent of Calming Soul Country

She will lead the Demis to fight alongside us!
