Chapter 2175 Awakening From a Dream

I don’t know how long it took.

The woman who seemed to be sleeping in a dream finally woke up.

It was still like a dream.

It was ethereal. Even though she was close at hand and seemed to be there in person, Gu Qingfeng still couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly.

But.

He could clearly feel that the woman had woken up and seemed to be staring at him.

“Should I call you Feng Zhuyue, or Mandavan, or Empress Wuyou?”

Finally.

Gu Qingfeng asked.

The woman was silent for a long time and answered with two words, “It’s up to you.”

Her voice was like her, as if it came from a dream, illusory and real.

“Okay.”

Originally, Gu Qingfeng had a lot of things to say in his heart, but when he really saw Feng Zhuyue, for some reason, he didn’t know what to say.

Perhaps he knew that the woman in front of him was not just Feng Zhuyue.

Or perhaps facing Feng Zhuyue, he really didn’t know what to say.

Taking a deep breath and shaking his head slightly, Gu Qingfeng said again: "In the past..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the woman opposite: "Since the past is in the past, don't mention it again."

Gu Qingfeng said: "The past does not mean it didn't happen."

The woman stared at Gu Qingfeng, and after a moment, she said: "What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is... In the past, I did some things that were a bit excessive... I have always wanted to apologize to you in person, but unfortunately, I have never had this opportunity."

"You don't owe me anything."

"I really don't owe you anything, but I owe Feng Zhuyue an apology, even though... you are Feng Zhuyue, but you are not the Feng Zhuyue in the past, at least, not the Feng Zhuyue in my impression, and I am afraid that I will never have the chance to see the Feng Zhuyue in the past again in this life, so... I can only apologize to you."

Unexplainable.

The woman who looked like the sun, the moon, the dream, the truth, and the false looked at Gu Qingfeng and suddenly smiled.

This smile made Gu Qingfeng feel very puzzled, and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

"Compared to before, you are much more mature and stable... Of course, you have become more cunning. It seems that you have experienced a lot in these years."

Gu Qingfeng didn't understand a little, and continued to ask: "What do you mean?"

"Why ask when you know the answer?"

"What do you mean by asking when you know the answer? I really don't know."

"Let me ask you, are you sincerely apologizing to Feng Zhuyue?"

"Of course!"

"Let me ask you again, are you sincerely apologizing to Feng Zhuyue?"

"Of course!"

The woman repeated the question three times in a row, and Gu Qingfeng answered without hesitation every time without blushing or breathing heavily.

However

After asking three times in a row, the woman's smile seemed to be even stronger, and she said, "Are you sincere?"

"Why am I not sincere?"

"If you apologized to Feng Zhuyue before, you might have been sincere, but you chose to apologize to Feng Zhuyue now."

"What do you mean? Isn't it wrong to apologize to Feng Zhuyue now?"

The woman said, "You are a person of temperament, a person who follows your heart, and a person who believes in feelings. You apologize because you feel guilty, but unfortunately, guilt does not mean sincerity. You apologize because of guilt in order to feel relieved. Only when you feel relieved in your heart can you be free and at ease."

"So, for you, it doesn't matter whether I am the Feng Zhuyue of the past. What's important is that I can represent Feng Zhuyue, which is enough. What's more, when you find out that I am not just Feng Zhuyue, your only guilt towards Feng Zhuyue will also disappear, especially when you find out that I am not just Feng Zhuyue, nor just Mandavan... You no longer have any guilt in your heart, not even a trace..."

When the woman's voice came, Gu Qingfeng was speechless.

He didn't expect that the woman could see through his inner thoughts, let alone his mind.

Indeed.

What the woman said was completely correct.

He did feel guilty towards Feng Zhuyue.

He did want to apologize to Feng Zhuyue, but he didn't know whether this thought was to eliminate his inner guilt or whether it was sincere. He was a person who followed his heart and did whatever he thought. As for whether the woman in front of him was still the Feng Zhuyue in the past, to be honest, Gu Qingfeng didn't care much.

Not only did he not care, but when he learned that the woman in front of him was not just Feng Zhuyue, he was shocked in his heart, but as the woman said, his guilt towards Feng Zhuyue also disappeared.

The reason was very simple.

Ever since he knew that Feng Zhuyue was possessed by the devil because of him, he had always felt guilty in his heart. Although his guilt towards Feng Zhuyue was buried in the deepest part of his heart, it was just buried and he had never forgotten it.

Moreover, as his understanding of the Great Dao deepened over the years, he also felt more and more clearly that there were some things that had been bothering him like a fetter, making it impossible for him to transcend the Great Freedom.

And this fetter was nothing else but the word emotion.

Among emotions, guilt was the worst.

This thing was like a demon in his heart, sometimes making him feel miserable.

If possible, Gu Qingfeng would certainly want to eliminate the fetters in his heart. Carrying this thing would not make him happy after all.

To be honest.

If the person who appeared this time was really the former Feng Zhuyue, Gu Qingfeng would really be in a difficult situation. Not only might he not be able to eliminate the guilt in his heart, but it might even intensify.

What he never expected was that the Feng Zhuyue who appeared today was no longer the Feng Zhuyue of the past. Not only was there an additional Mandavan, but there was also an additional Wuyou Niangniang.

If it was just the addition of Mandavan that made Gu Qingfeng feel somewhat guilty, then the addition of Wuyou Niangniang would make his guilt disappear completely as the woman said.

Feng Zhuyue of one life, Mandavan of one life, and Wuyou Niangniang of one life.

The three of them met Gu Qingfeng in the northwest. Even if this was cause and effect, even if this was fate, it was a cause and effect that someone deliberately grafted, and a fate that someone deliberately arranged.

In this case.

The so-called guilt would not exist.

As a deceived person, if he felt guilty about a deceiver again, then this deceived person was too stupid.

What's more, this was not the first time Gu Qingfeng was deceived.

As for how many times he was deceived, he himself couldn't remember.

Living to this day, after experiencing so many things, he felt more and more that he had entered a trap designed by others from the beginning.

First, it was Hongxiu in one life, Ouyang Ye in one life, Yun Nishang in one life, and now it is Feng Zhuyue in one life, Mandavan in one life, Empress Wuyou in one life... and Jun Xuanji in who knows how many lives.

Thinking back carefully, there are pits everywhere, traps everywhere, and conspiracies everywhere.

But...

Gu Qingfeng didn't know whether this conspiracy was set up by Yun Nishang, Empress Wuyou, and Jun Xuanji themselves, or they were just pawns in this chess game like himself!
