Chapter 46: Confession

Half a year has arrived, Gu Du and Jin Lan went to find Tie Gong with money.

Tiegong took out two horizontal knives, one of which was of normal size, and the other was slightly shorter and narrower, but except for the pattern decoration of the handle and scabbard, it was basically no different from the standard horizontal knives.

Jin Lan picked up the shorter horizontal sword and pulled it out. Seeing that the blade was as black as charcoal, and even the blade was black, he felt a hundred unhappy and said angrily: "Is this a treasure sword twenty taels per one?"

Tie Gong said: "Please try the barrier knife I carry with me. If I don't like it, I will return the deposit to the girl."

Jin Lan sneered: "Didn't you say you were asked to cut you off?"

Tie Gong said, "It's not too late to cut me after you finish the trial."

Jin Lan pulled out the obstacle knife and handed it to Gu Du, then waved the knife to cut it down. She deliberately did not use much force, but the blades collided with each other, and a slight sound of "swish", the obstacle knife broke into two pieces.

Jin Lan was stunned, Gu Du looked at Tie Gong and asked, "What material is this made of?"

Tie Gong did not speak with a stern face. Jin Lan pulled out the normal-sized horizontal knife and slashed the barrier knife again. Another slight sound was sniffing, and the barrier knife broke again.

Tie Gong asked, "Are the girl still satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Jin Lan put the knife into the sheath, hugged the two swords in her arms, and took a step back as if she was afraid of someone robbing her.

Tie Gong said, "Since the girl is satisfied, please ask the adults to pay the money."

Gu Du took out thirty taels of silver and put it on the case. Tiegong took a dirty bag and put it on, and asked, "What are the instructions that sir?"

Gu Du asked softly: "Uncle Tie, who are you?"

Tiegong replied: "Blacksmith."

Gu Du smiled awkwardly and asked again: "Can you create three more? One sword and two shorter horizontal swords."

Jin Lan stared at him with a slanted eyes, three times? Chu Qin, Shangguan He, and that talented junior sister?

Tiegong shook his head and said, "There is no material."

Gu Du was a little disappointed, but thinking about it, there were certainly not too many such good materials, so he started and said, "Thank you."

Tie Gong didn't speak, stood with his head down, and Gu Du pulled Jin Lan away.

After returning home, Jin Lan kept fiddling with her horizontal knife. Gu Du snatched the knife, hung it on the weft pillar, and then sat beside her and hugged her.

Jin Lan leaned against his shoulder and asked, "Isn't you tired of holding me?"

Gu Du replied: "How come you get tired of it? I want to hug you for the rest of my life."

Jin Lan smiled, and Gu Du said again: "Senior sister has married. I should be promoted to Soul Control Master at the latest next year. I will marry you."

Jin Lan smiled faintly. Can she really be together? It won’t cause trouble? In the past few months since Gu Du went to Rizhao, Jin Lan thought a lot. After all, she is from Zeguo, and she has a mission, no matter whether it is true or false.

People from Ling Kingdom will suspect her, and people from Ze Kingdom will not let her go. How long can she last such a peaceful and happy life?

Although Feng Jiu never came to see her again, Jin Lan always felt that there were eyes staring at her. During many nights, she woke up from the nightmare and couldn't tell where she was and who she was.

She thought of Gu Du, but she was afraid of sleeping with Gu Du, because she was afraid that she would talk to her sleep. She even imagined that one day when she woke up, Gu Du pointed at her with anger and asked her why she wanted to do it in detail.

Gu Du let go of his hand, tilted his head and looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jin Lan kissed his lips. Since Gu Du forced her to kiss her that day when she came back, kissing has become her favorite thing, because kissing can relieve her anxiety and make her forget about things that she cannot solve for the time being.

Gu Du hugged her tightly, but Jin Lan pushed him away and asked, "Why do you like me?"

Gu Du was stunned for a moment and replied, "I just like it, there is no reason."

Jin Lan lowered her eyes and said with a little sadness: "It is different from the past. You can marry any kind of woman you want. After all, I am from Zeguo. If you marry me, I am afraid that your future will be ruined and even will be doomed."

Just as Gu Du was about to speak, Jin Lan raised his hand to cover his mouth and said, "Besides, you married me, but I am just burdened. Not only can I not fight side by side with you, but I will also bring you unintentional disasters."

After pausing, Jin Lan said again: "You should marry a innocent and like-minded person like your soul master."

Gu Du looked at her and asked, "Okay, why do you say these words?"

Jin Lan cried out and leaned on his shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "There is no good, it has never been good. People from Zeguo have come to me. The last assassination was specially arranged to allow me to stay by your side. They asked me to do it in detail."

Gu Du hugged her tightly, just say it. If you are willing to say it, it proves that she has given her heart to him.

Gu Du said: "What is the value of me, a mere boy servant?"

Jin Lan choked and replied, "They said you are a rare talent, so I can find a way to instigate you."

Gu Du asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know!" Jin Lan cried and said, "I just want to live peacefully with you, I don't want to know anything!"

Gu Du patted her back and said, "Okay, just follow me and live a peaceful life."

Jin Lan cried, "I can't live for peace! They won't let me go! Do you understand if you understand!"

Gu Du said, "Don't worry, if they come to you again, you agree to whatever you ask you to do. Stop them. I will become a soul master as soon as possible and get married with you. Then we will live in the palace. Unless their army enters the palace, no one will think of hurting you."

Jin Lan stopped crying, this was a solution, and asked, "Can I really live in the palace with you?"

Gu Du hesitated for a moment, and he didn't know if this could be done. He said, "I think it should be possible. The Soul Master can get married, and the palace has assigned a residence. Will you not allow it to live if you become a relative? Besides, if there is a Soul Lord and my senior sister, they will help me."

"Yeah." Jin Lan nodded, it was always good to have hope, and said, "Then don't be idle with the family. You can go back to the palace tonight, practice the soul army, and get up early and practice with your junior sister."

Gu Du looked at her, Jin Lan bit her lip. When she was happy, she let out a joke and lowered her head and said, "It was Feng Jiu who told me that it was the one you let go. He said that Li Xia was gifted and had a deep affection for you. In order to be with you, she transferred from the command of the high priest to the command of Chu Qin."

Gu Du held up her jaw, looked into her eyes and said, "I only have you in my heart."

Jin Lan smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, you are the only one in my heart. I don't care who wins the world and who is the emperor. I just want to follow you for the rest of my life."
