Gu Shengyin just looked at him. "Then if it were right now, I'm about to die, and I'd need you to give up all your power in exchange for my life—would you be willing? Or rather, if you could die in my place, would you be willing?"
She looked at the man in black robes in front of her.
Qing Yao only frowned, hesitation showing on his face.
Gu Shengyin didn't say anything, just watched him.
After a while, he seemed to have found his answer.
He shook his head at Gu Shengyin, making his choice. "I think your hypothetical is meaningless. But if you really have to use it as a reference, then no, I wouldn't."
The answer was within expectations.
Gu Shengyin laughed.
Qing Yao got his wish and saw her smile, and he felt that this smile was every bit as beautiful as he'd imagined.
Gu Shengyin said, "I would."
What?
Qing Yao only heard the person in front of him say, "If I truly loved him, I'd be willing to die for him, to do anything for him."
