Chapter 330 Until the Hair Grew White
Awake.
Coma.
The consciousness swayed back and forth between the silence and the shimmer. The sound of helicopter rotors whistling in the ear was intermittent. The pain spread from the heart to the top of the head, to the soles of the feet. And the strong pain surrounded the body and then became numb.
The invisible power seemed to be decomposing the body as much as possible, as if to make the body fragmented and bloody in flesh as much as possible.
Gu Xingyun could not move.
But his consciousness was struggling.
A step further was life.
A step back was death.
Gu Xingyun opened his eyes again.
There was still the dim cabin in his sight.
The light in the cabin was weak, so everything in sight was blurred.
The blood rushed from the corners of the mouth was warm first and then quickly became cold.
Gu Xingyun was dizzy.
The faint light in the cabin seemed so glaring. The intense pain and numbness occupied all his consciousness. His mind was in a daze, as if he would fall into the eternal darkness at any time.
Gu Xingyun subconsciously grabbed the seat beside him and tried to bite his tongue tip.
There was numbness between the lips and teeth. He miscalculated his strength and directly bit the tongue. The blood poured into his mouth and was spat out by him. It was different from the physical pain and suddenly made his willpower refresh.
“You’re awake.”
A voice sounded in his ear.
In his somewhat blurred sight, the face of Gu Qianchuan gradually became clear.
Gu Xingyun looked at him.
His face was completely distorted in the violent pain and looked horrible. But his eyes were extremely bright. They were indifferent and vigilant eyes, like two cold stars set in a grimace.
Gu Qianchuan was also watching Gu Xingyun.
The looks on his face and in his eyes were calm.
Only calm.
The helicopter whizzed to the northwest at a high altitude.
The two most powerful men in Kunlun City looked at each other quietly.
“You are seriously injured.”
After an unknown period of time, Gu Qianchuan took the initiative to open his mouth. His voice lost his respectfulness in the past. When he spoke, he turned to look in another direction.
Gu Xingyun could not see his eyes.
His mouth was still sweet and warm. His voice was a bit vague and short. “Where?”
This question was somewhat inexplicable.
But Gu Qianchuan understood what he meant.
“We are on our way back to Kunlun City.”
Kunlun City.
Back to Kunlun City!
Gu Xingyun’s original vague consciousness suddenly burst into shock, and his whole person became awake again. “No! We can’t go back!”
Gu Qianchuan was stunned and looked at Gu Xingyun in confusion.
Gu Xingyun’s breathing was gradually rushing. He just repeated it with his strength, “We can’t go back.”
Kunlun City.
It was the most glorious achievement of his life and also a place where he used to feel at ease most.
But in his current state, Kunlun City was the most dangerous place for him.
Gu Qianchuan gradually came to understand.
He vaguely knew why Gu Xingyun did not want to go back.
Because Li Xi was still in Kunlun City.
Li Xi.
She was Governor Madam who had barely walked out of Kunlun City for more than two decades.
As the First Elder of Kunlun City, Gu Qianchuan was very clear that the relationship between Gu Xingyun and Li Xi was not harmonious.
But he never thought that the relationship between the two would be rigid to this extent.
When Gu Xingyun was seriously injured, he did not dare to go home.
What was he afraid of?
Gu Qianchuan suddenly felt that Gu Xingyun was a little pitiful.
He did not understand the meaning of being such a couple.
“If we don’t go back to Kunlun, shall we go to Youzhou?” Gu Qianchuan looked at Gu Xingyun and asked.
Gu Xingyun suddenly fell silent.
He was the God of War of Zhongzhou State. But in the case of serious injuries and powerlessness, his situation would be even more dangerous than returning to Kunlun if he went to Youzhou.
He shuddered and reached out his hand. His stiff, numb hand was stretched into his chest and pulled out a button in the interlayer of his clothes.
The button was small and exquisite, with a strange glow in the dark cabin.
Gu Xingyun seemed to want to press the button into pieces. But his palm shook, so the button fell on the ground and rolled down in front of Gu Qianchuan.
The somewhat unfocused eyes of Gu Xingyun suddenly became focused.
Gu Qianchuan contracted his eyes.
The whistling of the rotors was still filled in the cabin.
But the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became a bit strange.
Gu Qianchuan picked up the button in front of him and looked at Gu Xingyun, deep in thought.
Gu Xingyun looked at Gu Qianchuan and remained silent for a long time before faintly saying, “Bring it to me.”
Gu Qianchuan did not move.
He looked at Gu Xingyun for a long time and suddenly asked, “Why?”
This word was very simple, but the meaning behind it was extraordinary.
Why.
Why should I give it to you?
If you were dead, I would be the Governor of Kunlun City.
So… why?
The interior of Kunlun City was not harmonious.
The intrigues between the Governor and the First Elder were no secrets.
Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan were also aware of what they wanted from each other.
In such an environment, it was not necessary to hide it.
Gu Qianchuan wanted to ask why, which was not a showdown. But if Gu Xingyun could not give the answer, the consequence was much more serious than the two forcing a showdown.
“I can’t die,” Gu Xingyun said calmly, and his face became darker and darker.
Situ Cangyue’s hitting of Setting Sun was almost completely blasted on him. He escaped and let Gu Qianchuan take him away from Lin’an, which was already an overdraft of his potential. In his current state, Gu Qianchuan or even an ordinary person could kill him easily.
But his eyes became calm and even relaxed.
“Why?”
Gu Qianchuan still asked the problem but meant differently.
“If I were dead, would you have enough strength to protect Kunlun City?”
Gu Xingyun smiled a bit sarcastically. “Now your strength can barely rank the top ten on the Holy List, not to mention the Divine List. You can’t protect Kunlun City after my death!”
His words were straightforward and ruthless.
A bit of anger flashed in the eyes of Gu Qianchuan.
“The result at the moment is the best for you.”
Gu Xingyun’s eyes became dim, and his aura was getting weaker and weaker. His breath began to become heavy. “I am seriously injured, but I will not die. I am not sure if I will become the second Summer Solstice. During my treatment, you can have the power of Kunlun City in your hands. As long as I don’t die, I’m a threat to the outside world. Kunlun City, ahem… Kunlun City will always exist. What’s wrong with that?”
He looked at Gu Qianchuan and mocked him. “Given your current strength, even in a life-and-death battle, you will even be no match of Dijiang in the Wang family of Beihai. How can you protect Kunlun City alone?”
The biggest disagreement between him and Gu Qianchuan lied in the power of Kunlun City.
He did not want to see Kunlun City disappear and run down.
Nor did Gu Qianchuan.
So the negotiations between the two were quite sincere.
“You’re very reasonable.”
Gu Qianchuan pondered for a long time and nodded.
He handed the button in his hand to Gu Xingyun.
Gu Xingyun had no strength to crush the button, so he simply put it in his mouth and bit it. He swallowed the button along with the cool liquid in it.
Gu Qianchuan watched Gu Xingyun take the medicine.
The effect of the drug was immediate. Although Gu Xingyun was still weak, his breathing gradually began to stabilize.
Gu Qianchuan knew what Gu Xingyun ate.
Strictly speaking, this was also Immortality Potion.
It was, however, the Immortality Potion belonging to the government of Zhongzhou State.
This was the Immortality Potion that Zhongzhou State and the Wang family of Beihai traded when the latter had first made Immortality Potion hundreds of years ago.
Zhongzhou State decomposed Immortality Potion and then added in a large number of precious medicinal herbs. It eventually became the healing sacred medicine taken by Gu Xingyun.
This kind of thing was also based on vitality, but it did not prolong life length. It infinitely accelerated the recovery speed of the injuries. This was the exclusive sacred medicine of the God of War of Zhongzhou State. Although there was only one drop in a button, it was equivalent to a life.
“What’s your plan?”
Gu Qianchuan looked at Gu Xingyun, who once again became groggy, with a glint in his eyes.
“How will you arrange for me?”
Gu Xingyun pulled the corner of his mouth and his voice was low.
This time, his injuries were indeed extremely serious. Gu Xingyun did not know how long he could recover. He could not even be sure whether he would remain the combat capability of the Invincible Realm. During his time of rehabilitating, even if he was reluctant, he must hand over the power of Kunlun City to Gu Qianchuan.
Gu Qianchuan mastered the power and would certainly not let him stay outside.
During the treatment time, he was basically under house arrest by Gu Qianchuan.
One day, if his combat capability was restored and Gu Qianchuan did a good job, it was not so easy for him to take back the authority of the Governor.
Kunlun City was a city, but its rise time was too short and the foundation was not enough. It seemed completely like a family. In the family, Governor was not necessarily the strongest one. The key was to see who mastered the authority of the family.
“I have a manor in Yinzhou. The environment is good. If you do not want to be in Kunlun City, you can go there and have a treatment,” Gu Qianchuan said softly after being silent for a while.
His tone was very sincere.
Gu Xingyun moved his mouth and said indifferently, “Okay.”
He really did not want to stay in Kunlun City. Without the combat capability, he would feel fear when he thought of Kunlun City. It would be better to accept Gu Qianchuan’s house arrest that seemed to have a good intention.
“What are your requirements?” Gu Qianchuan asked seriously.
Gu Xingyun thought for a moment and calmly said, “It’s meaningless for me to stay alone. Let Qingcheng accompany me.”
Li Qingcheng.
She was the daughter of Gu Xingyun and Li Xi.
She was also the untouchable underscore of Li Xi. As long as he controlled Li Qingcheng beside him, Gu Xingyun would not worry about what Li Xi would do.
Gu Qianchuan did not need to worry, either.
So he nodded and said with a smile, “Very thoughtful.”
Gu Xingyun nodded. He seemed to want to say something, but his spirit could no longer support him. He once again fell in a coma.
The helicopter crossed the night sky and flew northwest.
It crossed the mountains and passed the great lakes. The air was getting cold.
When Gu Xingyun once again opened his eyes, the white snow of Mount Kunlun that had remained unchanged for a long time was already in front of him.
He recovered a bit.
But the strong sense of weakness was becoming more and more obvious so that he was struggling to sit up.
“We arrived?” Gu Xingyun hoarsely asked.
His mind was dizzy, and his headache was terrible.
“Yes.”
Gu Qianchuan nodded. “I have already arranged it. Qingcheng has already taken a helicopter to Yinzhou an hour ago.”
“Ok.”
Gu Xingyun nodded and looked at Kunlun City, which was already in sight. He was more emboldened in his heart.
The helicopter landed on a small airport in Kunlun City.
Gu Qianchuan emotionlessly helped Gu Xingyun to return to his own residence.
Kunlun was cold.
At the home of Gu Xingyun, the stove was burning, and it was warm and comfortable inside.

Gu Xingyun sat down on the sofa and gasped. He faintly said, “I’ll stay here for a few more days. After this matter is completely solved, I will immediately go to Yinzhou.”
This time, it was undoubtedly a matter of collaborating with the Wang family of Beihai to assassinate Li Honghe.
If Li Honghe died in Lin’an, then nothing would happen.
Li Honghe did not die, which was a big uproar.
Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan left in advance and did not even know the result of the assassination.
“Go ahead.”
Gu Xingyun glanced at Gu Qianchuan, and his tone was indifferent.
Gu Qianchuan nodded, turned around, and left.
Gu Xingyun sat on the sofa and looked at the back of Gu Qianchuan.
His eyes became deep and seemed to obliterate all the temperature.
What would happen if he temporarily handed over the power of Kunlun City?
This time, he fought with Situ Cangyue. What would happen if the murderous weapon Setting Sun fell into the hands of Gu Qianchuan?
As long as he could recover, both the murderous weapon and authority belonged to him.
Gu Xingyun leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, “They’re still too young.”
Gu Qianchuan had just stepped out of the gate. A beautiful white shadow already appeared in front of him.
Gu Qianchuan was stunned and looked at the woman in front of him. His eyes were flashing.
The woman’s face was very beautiful. She wore a white dress and had beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Her hair was neat and smooth. The long waterfall-like hair seemed to be mixed with snow and the hair end looked a bit white. However, it did not weaken her charm but made her look more deadly attractive.
National Beauty was a title so suitable for the woman in front of him. The beauty of the woman came to the ultimate, and she was just like a colorful ink painting spread in the snow, making it unforgettable for others.
“Sister-in-law.”
Gu Qianchuan was silent for a while and saluted her with a smile.
At the moment, the woman, at least for now, was the hostess of Kunlun City, either nominally or practically.
Although she had never presented any opinions on the internal affairs of Kunlun City, her identity would not be questioned by anyone.
Li Xi.
She was the wife of the Governor of Kunlun City, the only wife of Gu Xingyun.
“Where is Qingcheng?” Li Xi stood in front of Gu Qianchuan and asked straightforwardly.
Her voice was crisp and even pleasing, and her speed of speech was fast. But her words always sounded weird.
Her tone seemed to be impatient, but there was no emotion in her voice.
This was not rigid or dull.
It was a kind of almost empty numbness.
This was obviously a great woman who could not be overstated by any gorgeous rhetoric, but she did not have any vigorousness.
Under her gorgeous appearance, there was only hollowness and numbness.
“I arranged for Qingcheng to go out and play.”
Gu Qianchuan smiled. “This is the meaning of the Governor.”
“Where is Qingcheng?” Li Xi asked again.
Gu Xingyun did not show any emotion, just shaking his head and whispering, “Governor is inside.”
He stepped aside to let her go first.
Li Xi hesitated for a moment and stepped into the courtyard of Gu Xingyun.
Gu Qianchuan turned his head and looked at her white skirt that was swaying in the snow and wind. His eyes were full of playfulness and coldness.
Gu Xingyun did not dare to return to Kunlun City because of serious injuries.
He dared to return here until he took control of Li Qingcheng.
What he feared was undoubtedly his wife, Li Xi.
Gu Qianchuan was not in harmony with Gu Xingyun.
But even so, Gu Xingyun would rather believe Gu Qianchuan who competed with him for the control over Kunlun City anytime rather than Li Xi.
Couple?
Oh, how could such a couple be a couple?
Li Xi left from the courtyard to the room.
Gu Xingyun still leaned on the sofa. He just scanned Li Xi at random and was too lazy to move his body.
“Where is Qingcheng?” Li Xi asked directly.
In Kunlun City, she almost never talked to Gu Xingyun. Even if she spoke occasionally, she said straightforwardly.
“Qingcheng should go outside. It is not good for her to stay in Kunlun City. I should have time in the next few years. I will bring her with me and teach her,” Gu Xingyun said without emotion.
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun quietly.
“You are hurt,” she said.
Her tone didn’t sound like a wife’s worry or an enemy’s pleasure. It was plain, empty, and numb, making people feel uncomfortable.
“Severe injuries.”
Gu Xingyun smiled and his eyes looked a little cold. His tone was also angry. “The full force of Setting Sun. Huh, haha, Situ Cangyue, that b*tch! B*tch!”
Li Xi’s body suddenly shook quietly.
The full force of the murderous weapon Setting Sun…
She was very clear what this meant.
Many years ago, she had witnessed another murderous weapon bombarding another woman in a close distance.
Among the sword intent and flowing light all over the sky, the murderous weapon was broken and the Invincible Realm expert disappeared.
That murderous weapon was called Infinite Sky!
The power of Setting Sun was not as good as that of Infinite Sky.
But likewise, the strength of Gu Xingyun was not as good as that of the woman who shattered Infinite Sky.
“Will you die?” Li Xi asked calmly.
“I don’t want to die.”
Gu Xingyun shook his head.
Li Xi finally understood why her daughter left Kunlun City.
The corner of her mouth was gently raised, revealing a trace of clear sneer and mockery. “So you let Gu Qianchuan take Qingcheng away? You control Qingcheng. Are you afraid that I will kill you when you are seriously injured?”
“If you kill me, Qingcheng will die.”
Gu Xingyun looked at Li Xi very calmly. “Are you willing to kill me?”
A mixture of anger and disdain suddenly burst from her eyes. “Do you know what you are doing? You threaten your wife with your own daughter. Gu Xingyun, what kind of man are you? You are a bastard! Hypocrisy. Disgusting! You don’t deserve to be a man at all!”
Bastard…
Disgusting…
Not deserve to be a man…
For more than two decades, this was the longest sentence Li Xi said to Gu Xingyun.
But this sentence was like the sharpest knife. It suddenly penetrated Gu Xingyun’s anger and grievances he had suppressed for many years.
His refined face became distorted in an instant. And he suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Li Xi stood still.
Gu Xingyun’s eyes were red. He grabbed Li Xi’s neck that was long, white, and tender.
“I am a bastard? I don’t deserve to be a man? Then who do you say is a man? Ah? Say! B*tch, you are also a b*tch!”
“Clap!”
The mad Gu Xingyun slapped in the beautiful face of Li Xi. “Who is the man in your heart? Li Kuangtu? Didn’t you feel great when he f*cked you? It heard that you and Situ Cangyue slept with him, right? Shameless b*tch! Where am I not as good as him? Say, say it!”
Li Xi was thrown to the ground by a slap.
Her face was red and swollen. But she still raised her head and looked at Gu Xingyun with disdain.
It was a kind of arrogance that she was still unwilling to compromise even if being embarrassed.
It was the arrogance that Gu Xingyun seemed to be familiar with.
At that time.
In those years.
He personally sent the woman to the side of the young Chosen One.
She was so proud to stand next to that man, looking down on everyone, including Gu Xingyun, like a goddess.
Gu Xingyun’s eyes were more and more scarlet and kept staring at Li Xi.
“Are you a man?”
Li Xi wiped away the blood on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were full of disdain.
“I am not a man?”
Gu Xingyun laughed wildly. “Don’t you know if I’m a man? How did Qingcheng come to this world? Are you not sure?”
Li Xi’s face was pale.
She shuddered and stood up. Then she uttered one word after another in a cold voice, “The thing I regret most is to give birth to Qingcheng for you.”
“Clap!”
Gu Xingyun in the wrath again slapped in the face of Li Xi.
“Regret?”
He sneered and looked at Li Xi falling on the ground. “You regret giving birth to our daughter. Don’t you regret giving birth to a daughter for Li Kuangtu? Don’t forget. You killed the unlawful child and Li Kuangtu by yourself! Regret? What qualifications do you have to regret it? You are a b*tch!”
“Ha…”
Li Xi sneered and took a breath. “You gave your own woman to the opponent. You were willing to be cuckolded by me for many years. Are you very proud? I am a b*tch? Why didn’t you say it when you let me approach him? What are you proud of? As long as you’re alive, you’re humiliated. What are you proud of?”
“What am I proud of… what am I proud of…”
Gu Xingyun’s face was pale, and blood was pouring out from his mouth again. But he became excited.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Xi’s hair, and dragged her outside the window.
There were constant wind and snow outside the window.
Dawn and daybreak.
Kunlun City was covered by a shimmer.
“Look!”
Gu Xingyun pointed out the window. “These are mine. Kunlun City is mine. You are mine. I have the entire Zhongzhou State Special Warfare System. What am I proud of? You say what I am proud of?”
“Is everything you get through humiliation worthwhile? Is it really worth it?”
“He died!”
Gu Xingyun was furious. He said with a grim smile, “He is dead! You killed him. All my shame has been washed!”
Li Xi fell and sat on the ground.
Her cheeks were swollen and her face was bleak.
That was despair and numbness without any hope.
“This is what you should do. You should not use these to insult me.”
Gu Xingyun kept panting. He looked at Li Xi sitting on the ground, and his eyes were a bit out of focus.
He knelt down in front of Li Xi and reached out his palm to touch her face.
All the violence disappeared completely from his face. His voice became very gentle. “Did I hurt you? You shouldn’t irritate me.”
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun with her empty eyes.
This poor and hateful woman already had nothing to say.
As early as when she was brought into this snow mountain by her father, she already had no choice.
She did wrong once and would never reach the end of it.
Until today, she suddenly looked back at her own way, only to find that she had been through all the way in the glamorous and lonely past, and all she left were sins.
“As long as you are willing to obey me, your father and Qingcheng will be fine. Do you know?”
Gu Xingyun gently touched Li Xi’s red and swollen face. “The Dark World has been unsafe recently. Gu Qianchuan’s strength is too weak. When necessary, you have to fight for Kunlun City and do what I should do. Can you do it?”
Li Xi nodded with numbness.
“Go ahead.”
Gu Xingyun smiled and said, “If there is a chance, kill Situ Cangyue for me. B*tches should all die, right?”
Li Xi did not talk. She stood up numbly and went out.
Gu Xingyun squinted at her back.
Li Xi’s long hair floated up and the hair end seemed to still carry the snow, looking white in his sight.
The beauty had gray hair.
Gu Xingyun was a bit dizzy and felt somewhat self-deprecating.
They could not stay together until they had white hair.
They fought with each other with swords until the hair grew white. That was it.
For such a couple, even if he had the power and wealth in the world, he got only emptiness and loneliness from her.
Li Xi opened the door.
It was already early in the morning outside the window of Kunlun City.
The wind and snow were still flying, with a desperate chill. They seemed to be eternal.
