The prison cell wasn't big.

Flander sat against the wall on the left, Yu Xiaogang on the right, and Liu Erlong in the middle.

The three men's hands and feet were bound by heavy iron chains, one end of which was embedded in the wall, limiting their range of movement to no more than three feet.

The sound of the iron gate opening made all three of them look up at the same time.

The moment Flander saw Gu Linyuan, his body tensed up.

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned even uglier.

He stared at Gu Linyuan, his eyes filled with wariness, hatred, and a hint of inexplicable apprehension. Liu Erlong was even more enraged.

"Gu Linyuan!"

Gu Linyuan stood in front of the iron fence, looking down at them.

"Are you three settling in comfortably?"

Gu Linyuan's lips curled up slightly.

"Kill me if you want, stop talking nonsense."

Liu Erlong gritted his teeth.

Gu Linyuan smiled.

He took out a thin sword from his storage soul tool, and lightly scraped the tip of the sword against the iron fence, making a grating friction sound.

Sparks flew everywhere, particularly glaring in the dimly lit cell.

"kill?"

"Killing them directly is pointless."

Gu Linyuan crouched down to be at eye level with the three of them.

The tip of the sword drew circles on the ground.

"I'll give you a chance."

Flander frowned. Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up with joy. Liu Erlong, however, was filled with vigilance.

Gu Linyuan raised one finger.

"Of the three of you, only one can live."

There was a moment of silence in the cell.

"You can choose for yourselves."

"One dies, two live!"

Gu Linyuan's voice was very soft, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Flander's expression changed.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

He glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then at Liu Erlong, and then lowered his head.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, the torchlight reflected in his pupils. His breathing quickened, and his chest heaved violently.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you trying to divide us?"

Liu Erlong said angrily.

"It means exactly what it says."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and faced away from them.

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips. The golden trio were inseparable. Gu Linyuan was practically attacking their very soul. Especially since these three seemed to be in a love triangle!

"You bastard!"

Liu Erlong clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang finally spoke.

His voice was hoarse and dry, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.

"I...I can't die."

“Erlong needs my care; she can't live without me. I still have many theories to organize, and my research is very important to the Martial Soul world. I can't die here, I…”

After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang spoke. He knew that Gu Linyuan was a man who had no scruples and was truly capable of killing.

"Xiao Gang!"

Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.

Yu Xiaogang shut his mouth.

She knew Liu Erlong would look down on him, but all he wanted was to live.

His value is greater than that of Liu Erlong and Flander. Only by surviving can he help Tang San and Haotian Douluo deal with Gu Linyuan.

Liu Erlong stared at him, her eyes wide open.

She suddenly felt like she didn't recognize this man anymore.

"You want to live?"

Her voice was very soft.

Yu Xiaogang did not answer.

"You want to sacrifice me and Flander so you can live?"

Her voice was still very soft, but each word sounded as if it had been chewed up and spat out.

Yu Xiaogang still did not answer.

His head drooped even lower, almost burying itself in his knees.

Liu Erlong closed her eyes. A tear slid down her cheek from the corner of her eye.

Flander watched this scene, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Alright."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the cell could hear him clearly.

Yu Xiaogang raised his head, and Liu Erlong opened his eyes.

Flander slowly sat up straight.

The chains rattled, but he ignored them.

He looked at Gu Linyuan's back, then at Qian Renxue's ambiguous smile, and finally his gaze fell on Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

"I will die."

Two words: very calm.

Liu Erlong's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Flander! You!"

Flanders waved his hand, interrupting her.

A smile played on his lips, a smile that contained relief, bitterness, and a sense of liberation that only he himself understood.

"Erlong, you and Xiaogang are truly in love. After I die, you two must stay together."

He paused, looking at Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, Erlong is in your care now. Treat her well."

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded.

Flander then looked at Liu Erlong.

His gaze lingered on her face for a long time, as if he were trying to remember every detail of her.

"Erlong, I've known you for so many years, but I've never dared to say a word to you."

Liu Erlong's eyes reddened.

Flanders smiled, a smile that held a touch of childlike shyness.

Actually, I quite like you.

Liu Erlong finally couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

After Flanders finished speaking, he seemed to have a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and his whole body relaxed.

"Gu Linyuan, I've made my choice. I die, they live."

Gu Linyuan turned around and looked at Flander.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

Gu Linyuan nodded.

"Then go ahead and do it."

Flanders picked up the sword; its blade gleamed coldly in the firelight.

He took a deep breath and held the sword across his neck.

"Flander! No!"

Liu Erlong's voice was heart-wrenching. She tried to rush over, but the chains suddenly pulled her back.

Flanders did not look at her.

He closed his eyes.

The blade sliced ​​through.

Blood splattered.
