Encountering Rebirth Again

  "Stop it!" Gu Yuqie said to her mother, then shouted at the man who was beating him, "If you hurt him, I won't forgive you!" Although she was young, her momentum was strong, and with one angry shout, the human trafficker's hand trembled slightly, and he couldn't bring himself to strike another blow.

  Apart from Yun Ke, there were few men who could leave a particularly deep impression on Gu Yuqie, and the child with those eyes was one of them.

  If Gu Yuqiu didn't remember wrongly, his future was boundless.

  Gu Yuqiu shouted and then hurriedly pulled her mother over, her crisp words startling a group of people, including the child who inadvertently raised his eyes. He didn't know that his unintentional action had caught the attention of the girl who was like a little fairy.

  "You've got good luck!" The man spat and immediately beamed with a smile as he walked over. The group of people standing there, not to mention their demeanor, but just from their attire, were obviously nobles from the capital. This was also his chance to strike it rich.

  The child laboriously lifted his hand to brush away the messy hair in front of his forehead, his back almost entirely lacerated, and even a slight movement would cause excruciating pain. However, he still wanted to get a clear look at the person who had just spoken up for him. She pursed her dry, cracked lips tightly and fixed her gaze intently on the girl rushing towards him.

  Her small face, hidden under the windbreaker, slightly lifted up, a pair of black jade-like eyes sparkling with a light he had never seen before, extremely beautiful. Her pink lips, shaped like a diamond, slightly curled up, forming the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.

  Is what she said true? Is it really going to buy itself down?

  His heart, which had already given up on life, seemed to have been stirred by the girl, and he tensely tried to avert his gaze, yet couldn't bear to. What if the girl wasn't talking about him? In just an instant, he had already hovered between life and death once.

  He has been sold twice, and both times he managed to preserve himself by a hair's breadth and was returned. It seems that the person who bought him also lost confidence in his teeth. He sells dead contracts, and being beaten to death is just his bad luck. However, he would rather die than become someone else's plaything.

  Gu Yuqie rushed to the front of the child, just about to stretch out her hand to help him up, when she was pulled back by Liang Huaiyu with great force, not allowing her to touch the child's dirty body.

  "Mother!" Gu Yuqie looked up at her own mother, shaking Liang Huaiyu's arm, and begged, "Help me buy him, okay?"

  "Why must it be him?" Liang Huaiyu looked at the frail child with some hesitation, earlier from a distance he didn't see clearly, now closer, that child was really thin, under the torn clothes were crisscrossing wounds, new and old. "Whether he can survive after buying him back is uncertain." Seeing him struggling to breathe on the ground, motionless, Liang also felt some pity, but still hesitated, "He's a boy, can't accompany you by your side."

  "Mother, let's take him back. You can teach him martial arts and literature, when I'm a guard, he'll be able to protect me in the future!" Gu Yuqie continued to shake Liang Huaiyu's arm, coquettishly saying, "Just look at how pitiful he is!"

  Pitiful is indeed pitiful, but there are too many pitiful people in this city.

  Although she couldn't stand her daughter's nagging, Liang Huaiyu still relented. Fine, if her daughter wanted to buy it, then so be it. She didn't want their mother-daughter relationship to be affected because of an unrelated person. Besides, a child wasn't worth much money anyway; she was just worried that he might die in the Hou household, which would be somewhat unlucky. It was rare for her daughter to speak up like this. If this child were saved by her daughter, who knows, maybe he would be loyal to her daughter in the future - and that wouldn't be a bad thing either.

  Before Liang Huaiyu could ask about the price, Gu Yuqie heard a cold voice behind her say, "I'll buy him. Name your price."

  Gu Yuqiu's vertebrae suddenly felt as if they had been frozen in ice, a chill that penetrated to the bone spreading from her back down to her entire body.

  The vengeful spirit won't disperse! How is it him again?!

  Although this voice was slightly more childish than the one she had been used to hearing in her previous life, it still had a mesmerizing effect on Gu Yuqiu, instantly petrifying her.

  How did he end up following me?

  Gu Yuqiu secretly bit her own lip and pulled on her mother's hand, slightly trembling.

  In her past life, she was entangled with him. Alright, even if a thousand mistakes and ten thousand wrongs were all her fault, she had already died such a miserable death, wasn't that enough to repay him? This life, did they have to meet so frequently?! Her only wish in this life was to never meet him again, not know him, live her own carefree days. Was this wish really that difficult?

  Good heavens!

  He actually came over and fought with her for people? Is she going to cultivate a husband's wish for herself, and it's all in vain?!?!

  Gu Yuqie was eager to buy that child because she knew the child's future, he would be the second Town General! The future Marquis of Town! In just ten more years, he would be the most sought-after husband candidate in the Great Liang Dynasty!

  If she wanted to stay away from Yun Ke, this child would be her best choice. Either way, she was going to marry someone, and compared to marrying someone with an unknown background, it's better to cultivate a promising one herself. Originally, Gu Yuqiu had planned to buy him out, hire the best teachers for him, let him develop his literary and military skills, and then have her father send him to the army camp for training, cultivating a great husband in her mind!

  Damn it! Is her plan that she just came up with going to be killed off just like that?

  Gu Yuqie suddenly turned around, glaring fiercely at the person who was competing with her for "future husband", "He is mine!" She growled through gritted teeth. For the first time, she didn't look at him with a terrified or adoring gaze. Although past events still lingered in her mind like a nightmare, she had been reborn after all! Why should she be afraid of someone she had already decided not to entangle herself with again? He was only fifteen years old now, just a disappointed prince who hadn't come into his own yet.

  "Really?" Yun Ke looked at the girl who was trembling slightly a second ago, but in the next second, she was radiating an aura of murder and fighting with him. For no reason, a few faint starlights flickered in his icy cold eyes. The current face overlapped and merged with the one hidden deep within his heart, making it even more vivid and lively.

  He quietly replied with a sentence, then casually pulled out a one-thousand-liang silver note and slapped it into the man's hand. "Is that enough?" He was asking the man, but his gaze remained fixed on Gu Yuqiu!

  She should not recognize him anymore. In her previous life, she burned herself to ashes with a big fire, but he kept thinking about her for decades afterwards. She probably didn't expect that she would be reborn with memories of her past life either.

  She isn't so annoying when she doesn't look at him with that infatuated gaze.

  But what's with those eyes full of hatred? Is it all for that child? How interesting! In this life, she actually encounters herself in such a way.

  Yun Ke's gaze fell on that child, and when he saw the child's appearance clearly, the meaning in his eyes deepened a little.
