Chapter 79: The Abyss
Gongsun Zhi, supporting himself on the alchemy furnace, struggled to get up, but accidentally fell down again.
He lay on the ground and suddenly said to Gongsun Lü'e:
"E'er, are you just going to watch your father die here?"
Gongsun Zhi's voice was filled with boundless desolation, sounding utterly tragic.
Qian Jin knew that Gongsun Zhi was trying to cheat from the moment he moved the alchemy furnace, but he didn't want to stop him and just watched Gongsun Zhi's performance quietly.
"Father, I didn't."
Gongsun Lü'e shook her head. Although Gongsun Zhi had only been strict with her over the years, he was still her father after all.
So when I saw the other person like this, I immediately felt sorry for them.
"No? Since you don't, then hurry up and come over here to help me up from the ground."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e disregarded everything else and quickly stepped forward to help Gongsun Zhi up from the ground.
However, as soon as she helped Gongsun Zhi up from the ground, he immediately subdued her pressure points and then grabbed Gongsun Lü'e's neck.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? You betrayed me first. Now, I'm just giving you a chance to atone for your sins."
Gongsun Zhi said something, and then sternly addressed Qian Jin:
"You brat, hand over the Heartbreak Pill right now, or I'll kill your savior."
Seeing Gongsun Zhi using Gongsun Lü'e to threaten him, Qian Jin sneered and said:
"You can threaten others with your own daughter's life? You really have no conscience at all."
"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to pay or not?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin sighed and said:
"You may not care about your daughter's life, but in my eyes, her life is more important than anything else."
"Take this Heartless Pill, you're welcome."
Qian Jin said something, and then took out the Heartbreak Pill.
Gongsun Zhi was delighted upon seeing this and quickly said in a deep voice:
"Quick, throw it over here."
"Brother Qian, don't listen to him. If he wants to kill me, he won't let me go no matter whether you give him the Heartless Pill or not."
"Besides, if I die, I die. My life is so worthless; even my own father wants to kill me. What's the point of living anyway?"
Gongsun Lü'e became increasingly heartbroken as she spoke, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"Miss Gongsun, how can you belittle yourself like this? There are still many places in this world worth cherishing."
After saying that, he turned to Gongsun Zhi and said:
"Master Gongsun, although I look down on you, I will still save your daughter's life."
"Take this Heartless Pill! I hope that after you get it, you'll spare your daughter."
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Jin threw the Heartbreak Pill directly at Gongsun Zhi.
Reaching out and taking the Heartless Pill, Gongsun Zhi burst into laughter, saying:
"You brat, I never imagined this girl was so important to you that you handed over the Heartbreak Pill without hesitation."
But I'm suddenly curious, you've only known her for a day or two at most, why are you willing to do so much for her?
Qian Jin sneered upon hearing this and said:
"How could someone as heartless as you possibly understand the nature of emotions in this world?"
"I don't understand? Hahahaha."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi burst into laughter twice, then continued:
"You brat, you say I don't understand? Do you think you do?"
You said you would save this girl's life, even willing to give up your only Heartbreak Pill, but if I push her off a cliff, would you still risk everything to save her?
Qian Jin frowned upon seeing this and said:
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? You'll find out soon enough."
A hint of madness flashed in Gongsun Zhi's eyes. He immediately reached out and pushed the alchemy furnace beside him. Instantly, a bottomless abyss appeared on the ground in front of him.
Then he pushed Gongsun Lü'e into the abyss.
With her acupoints restricted, Gongsun Lü'e was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as Gongsun Zhi pushed her down.
Gongsun Lü'e never expected that her biological father would actually kill her.
At that moment, she felt utterly hopeless.
it's all over……
As Gongsun Lü'e was pushed into the abyss, Qian Jin jumped down without hesitation and plunged into the abyss in an instant.
"Money, Brother Qian!"
Feeling herself being embraced, Gongsun Lü'e opened her eyes and looked at Qian Jin in disbelief.
Although her father pushed her into the abyss, intending to kill her, Brother Qian jumped down without hesitation to save her.
Tears involuntarily streamed down her face, and Gongsun Lü'e felt that she could die without regret.
"Brother Qian, you shouldn't have come down."
"Miss Gongsun, since I said I would save you, I will definitely save you."
……
Seeing Qian Jin jump down for Gongsun Lü'e without regard for anything else, Gongsun Zhi stood there dumbfounded.
He simply couldn't understand how anyone in this world could risk their own life for the sake of others.
Why? Why would he risk everything to save my daughter?
Gongsun Zhi felt extremely agitated. He was even unsure whether he wanted Qian Jin to save his daughter or not.
Just then, a rope suddenly shot through the air and instantly wrapped around his legs. Then he felt a tremendous force coming up from the abyss.
Under this immense force, Gongsun Zhi's body was immediately forced to fall uncontrollably into the abyss.
As Gongsun Zhi fell, two figures also used the force to leap directly out of the abyss.
Feeling her feet touch the ground, Gongsun Lü'e, her face filled with shock and immense joy, exclaimed:
"Brother Qian, why are we back up here again?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"I have a special ability: I can sleep on a rope, so no matter what, I always carry a rope with me."
"I never imagined it would save our lives at this crucial moment."
"Um!"
Having survived the ordeal, Gongsun Lü'e was naturally overjoyed.
He felt incredibly content being held in Qian Jin's arms. He looked up at Qian Jin and found that the other man was also turning to look at him.
Startled, Gongsun Lü'e quickly lowered her head and said shyly:
"Brother Qian, aren't you going to let me go?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin released Gongsun Lü'e and then helped her release her acupoints.
Gongsun Lü'e blushed for a moment before looking up and saying:
"Where's Father? How could he have disappeared in such a short time?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"When I used the rope to pull myself up, I pulled something down with me. I suppose when I threw the rope up, it happened to tie your father up, so it pulled him down too!"
Gongsun Lü'e was taken aback upon hearing this, then stared blankly at the abyss before her, murmuring:
"Has Father already fallen?"
