Chapter 767: Gu Jin Is Angry With Gu Yang

Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Yize returned to compensate the musical instrument shop owner for his losses.

Thankfully, Gu Yang’s prompt action prevented any further casualties.

The customers who had been banging their heads against the wall sustained only minor injuries.

Exiting the shop, Gu Jin and Xiao Yize led the way, while Gu Yang trailed behind with a downcast demeanor.

Seems like my sister’s upset…

As Gu Jin and Xiao Yize conversed about more serious matters, they inquired about Tong Wan’s well-being. “How’s Auntie Tong holding up?”

Xiao Yize replied, “She’s improving. Her mental state is steadier now. She heard you’re in the capital and expressed a desire to meet you sometime.”

Gu Jin nodded. “We’ll make time to visit.”

“Then I’ll look forward to it,” Xiao Yize responded.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Yize glanced back at Gu Yang, observing her forlorn posture with a hint of concern flickering in his eyes.

“Miss Gu, Sister had the broader picture in mind at the time, prioritizing safety over her own.”

“At that point, she hadn’t fully developed her abilities. She had performed over 20 songs against Singer and was mentally drained. She looked rather pitiable.”

“Wouldn’t it be remiss of us to disregard her well-being?”

Gu Jin suppressed the impulse to turn around, her tone icy. “She’s putting on an act.”

Xiao Yize countered, “But her fingers are red, and her eyes appear teary. Is she on the verge of tears?”

Gu Jin halted abruptly, unable to resist glancing back at Gu Yang.

Gu Yang darted over, clutching Gu Jin’s arm. Her eyes shone with sincerity. “Sis, I was wrong!”

No matter what, she had to play the adorable card and admit her fault first.

Gu Jin huffed dismissively, averting her gaze.

Yet Gu Yang clung to her arm like a koala, and Gu Jin refrained from shaking her off.

With a gentle tug, Gu Yang peered up at her beseechingly. “Sis, can you please not ignore me?”

After the initial shock and panic subsided, a surge of anger welled up within Gu Jin. She struggled to contain the frustration bubbling inside her.

With a mind brimming with reprimands, she was ready to unleash her wrath. But as she beheld Gu Yang’s pitiful expression, her ire evaporated like air from a punctured balloon.

Extending her hand, she gently ruffled Gu Yang’s hair, her tone tinged with discontent. “Don’t put yourself in danger like that again, understand?”

Gu Jin never considered herself virtuous. She teetered on the precipice between darkness and light, her demeanor cold, emotions aloof.

The lives of those around her held little significance; her sole concern was her sister’s safety.

At times, she saw herself akin to Feng Jue, that despicable cur.

Her sister stood apart, a beacon of light amidst the darkness—a ray of righteousness fallen into an abyss.

Xiao Yize embodied the path of righteousness more than anyone else.

Yet, animosity often festered among those of the same ilk. The darker one’s nature, the more fervently they craved illumination.

Gu Yang nodded vigorously, her demeanor exceedingly compliant.

Xiao Yize was taken aback.

So, this is what Miss Gu likes? He mused inwardly.

Standing beside Miss Gu earlier, he could practically feel the waves of anger emanating from her.

He had expected Miss Gu to give her sister the cold shoulder for at least a few days. But was that it?

Xiao Yize glanced at the modest mechanical watch adorning his wrist. Had it only been five minutes?

It was a rare occurrence for Gu Jin to be so talkative. She grasped Gu Yang’s arm, reiterating, “While I don’t oppose you intervening in injustices, I don’t want to see you endanger yourself to save others. That’s not your responsibility.”

“Yangyang, your safety comes first, no matter what.”

Gu Yang nodded obediently. “Yes, yes!”

Xiao Yize sighed inwardly at the bond between Gu Jin and Gu Yang. As he snapped back to reality, he realized they had already walked off into the distance, leaving him behind.

Watching their retreating figures, Xiao Yize fell into a momentary silence.

Had he just been a pawn in Miss Gu’s game, discarded once she was done with him?
