What are your plans next?

Su Yan asked.

She wanted to be certain of this rather than waste important time on repetitive routines than offer meaningless, repetitive praise.

Gu Yuqiu said, "I will continue."

Shen Muchan looked at her, wondering if this was really necessary.

Today's negotiations have concluded, and both sides have made their positions clear and their demands almost finalized. It can be said that their true intentions have been revealed, leaving no room for negotiation.

If that's the case, why waste energy doing unnecessary things?

"Then... let's just call her Akiba Harumi. She should continue using that body."

Gu Yuqiu saw through Shen Hong's thoughts and said indifferently, "I need to determine exactly how much power she can use, and where the upper limit is."

Shen Muchan frowned slightly and said, "No matter how strong she is, she can't possibly be stronger than you, and I don't think she can reach the level of the Lord of the Dark Sleep."

In today's world, the gods are still asleep.

So, the only remaining powerhouses at the top are the six fifth-tier peak experts, plus Gu Yuqiu, who is an outsider.

This is a very clear fact.

No matter how powerful Akiha Harumi is, he is merely a product of the mixture of the wills of the Old Gods, and cannot possibly be more powerful than an Old God.

So what's there to worry about?

"No wonder you've never seen the scenery I see all these years."

Su Yan glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "You can even forget how to achieve the Void Realm Transformation?"

Shen Muchan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Gu Yuqiu.

Then, she heard a "hmm".

"This is the only way to possibly defeat me."

Gu Yuqiu's tone was matter-of-fact.

In her eyes, Qiuye Chunhai could only have a chance of winning if he could turn the entire Yingzhou into a virtual realm and place her in that empty sea.

In addition, there is actually another feasible method.

"What if... I mean, what if."

Shen Muchan looked into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What if Lin Mushi wakes up and is persuaded by her to stop you?"

Su Yan was also curious about this question, so she sat down on the railing and watched quietly.

Gu Yuqiu did not answer immediately.

In the depths of winter, the sun is hidden by dark clouds, and a chill arises in the wind.

Her eyelids were slightly lowered, and her cascading silver hair was blown away, creating a kind of messy beauty.

It's like the situation now, which seems clear but is actually still very chaotic, and we don't know where it's headed.

Questions about Lin Mushi.

She had thought about it seriously a long time ago, and her answer at that time was no; she could not control all people and things.

However, her thoughts have now changed.

Why the change?

Because she herself has changed, she thought about the human world for Su Yan, and about Shen Muchan for the barbecue she owed. She did many things that she would never have done in the past for these reasons.

Gu Yuqiu was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know yet."

She had thought about this question last night, but couldn't find the answer.

If even the most unchangeable person has changed, why hasn't Lin Mushi changed?

If Lin Mushi changes her mind, should she see herself as the guardian of this world and take a completely opposite path to Lin Mushi?

If she fears all of this coming, and is betrayed by her only believer, and thus lets Lin Mushi fall into a deep sleep, does that mean she has lost her pride?

Yes, pride leads to one's downfall.

But she has lost even that pride and become an ordinary person. Can she really still do things that no one has done before?

She didn't tell anyone about these issues.

Whether it's Songtang or Su Yan, with whom she's been entangled for many nights.

"Since you don't know, then let Lin Mushi wake up."

Su Yan looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Let Lin Mushi think about it, see it all with her own eyes, and then make her own decision."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "So you knew."

Su Yan scoffed, "I'm not an idiot. There are only a few reasons why Lin Mushi hasn't woken up yet, and the most likely reason is that you're interfering and preventing her from waking up."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Yuqiu, thinking to herself, "You're so heartless!"

Pine Candy had already been surprised once, so she didn't react this time. She glanced at Crimson with feigned disdain and slapped the servant's face with her paw.

"Ah."

Gu Yuqiu did not deny it, and calmly said, "Until this very second, I have no reason to wake Lin Mushi up, as that would only cause things to get completely out of control."

Su Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Don't you believe in yourself?"

Gu Yuqiu turned around and looked at her sitting on the railing.

Su Yan looked different today than usual. Her clothes were no longer monotonous; beneath her trench coat was a dark red long dress that complemented her fair skin beautifully.

When the wind blows, her seemingly casually tied black hair sways, captivating the heart.

Then, she asked herself a question that silenced Gu Yuqiu for a long time.

"I don't even believe in myself anymore."

Su Yan gave a self-deprecating laugh and asked with a smile, "So, is someone like you even worth my attention?"

Chapter 164: Chapter Eleven The Sun That Never Sets

"What are your thoughts?" Gu Yuqiu asked calmly.

At this point in the conversation, everything that should and shouldn't have been said has been said, so there's little left to be taboo about. Being as frank as possible is the best approach.

Su Yan stared into her eyes and said seriously, "Let Lin Mushi wake up."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "What if I told you that I still believe in myself?"

A moment earlier, Su Yan had asked her a question about believing in herself. At that time, she thought of many things and didn't answer, remaining silent.

This statement is now the answer to the previous question.

—I still believe in myself. The reason I didn't wake Lin Mushi up was simply because I didn't want things to become too complicated, nothing more.

Su Yan looked at her quietly without saying anything, seemingly pondering the truth of her words.

Gu Yuqiu continued, "Furthermore, I still disagree with your idea of ​​waking Lin Mushi up."

Su Yan asked, "What is the reason?"

"Probably..."

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "I want to make the time I spend with you a little longer, because Mu Shi always likes to get in the way."

Hearing this, Shen Muchan couldn't help but glance at her, thinking that this was too cheesy and scumbag, and was she serious?

As for Songtang, she was already used to it. She had heard similar things too many times and it was hard for her to be emotionally affected. She just thought that Songtang was talking nonsense again and didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Su Yan remained indifferent, as if she hadn't heard anything, and said, "Then prove that your confidence is justified."

After saying that, she stopped sitting on the railing, jumped down, and walked down the slope, where a black sedan was parked, inconspicuously.

Gu Yuqiu watched her retreating figure and asked, "Are you just leaving like that? Are you angry?"

"I am more generous than you think."

Su Yan didn't turn around and casually said, "The reason I left is because I promised Shen Hong that I would let her meet you alone, so you should meet her."

Gu Yuqiu was slightly taken aback, not expecting such a reason, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, letting out a sigh.

Shen Muchan, who was standing to the side, suddenly tensed up. Her eyes fell down to look at Su Yan's disappearing figure. She thought to herself, "Where exactly is the magnanimity in your deliberately uttered words?"

……

……

"It seems that my decision not to kill you last time gave you the wrong impression."

"No."

"Then where does your courage come from?"

"Not from elsewhere, but from within yourself."

"That's an interesting point. Would you like to hear more about it?"

“You’re leaving soon, alright. At first, I didn’t know you were leaving this world, but I still felt like I wouldn’t see you again, so I thought I should hurry up. After all, what you’ve decided to do, like everything Xin Chu has experienced, can’t be delayed for too long…”

"Ok?"

"I'm afraid the remaining time is too short to defeat you."

"It's not a matter of time."

"Perhaps, but the first thing I need to face is time."

"You've become interesting."

The conversation ended there, and the two did not rush to continue.

Gu Yuqiu walked on the ordinary street, like an ordinary person taking a leisurely stroll.

Shen Muchan followed beside her, slightly behind, never attempting to walk alongside her, constantly scrutinizing the emotions in her eyes and brows.

It was still early, but winter nights fall too quickly, and dusk arrived quietly.

As the evening flames burned, the colors on the horizon gradually became more vibrant, and everything on the ground shimmered with golden light, as if it were about to burst into flames at any moment.
