"I'm just living for the sake of living," she was about to say when suddenly her heart skipped a beat, and another thought began to assault her mind.
Jiang Kehan fell silent, as if she had finally understood why her magic was so dull.
For a fleeting moment, she actually thought of living for Li Hui's sake.
This incredulous to her.
"Looks like you understand now." Gu Qingci returned to his seat, took out a salted fish and ate it, appearing nonchalant.
Meow, why does this strange thing taste so awful?
She looked at the salted fish in her hand, her claws went numb, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still forced herself to bite into it.
Jiang Kehan, now freed from her constraints, remained motionless, questioning her own conscience.
Why am I so paranoid?
Is it because Li Hui is my only friend?
Is it because this world is completely unfamiliar to me?
She suddenly realized something, and felt a little dazed. She discovered that she was also on the path of being redeemed by the other person.
Ha, Jiang Kehan, when did you start taking responsibility and honor upon your own shoulders?
Yes, it's time to abandon your distrust of the world. You should accept and seek the world's help.
I am a witch too!
Chapter 74 Go for the duel, negotiate with yourself in the face of death.
All the unease, impatience, and anxiety began to dissolve after this thought appeared.
The magic surged through Jiang Kehan's pounding heart, causing her to close her eyes and savor her own "arrogance."
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she had clung to her identity as a transmigrator ever since she transmigrated, and even became more and more proud as her talent was revealed.
Look, I'm a time traveler, shouldn't I be the center of the world?
Her smooth sailing during this period only exacerbated her affectation, leading her to place all her hopes on herself after learning of Li Hui's tragic death.
Yes, she was only thinking about saving Li Hui on her own, but she didn't realize that she was also being saved by him.
What I want to do is not to become the other person's only anchor, but to help them rediscover the beauty of this world.
Jiang Kehan opened her eyes and stared intently at her reflection in Gu Qingci's eyes. She couldn't help but pick up a bottle of wine and pour it into her mouth.
The sudden, exploding burning sensation in her stomach made her realize more clearly that she had already become part of this world, without even realizing it.
Gu Qingci looked at Jiang Kehan, who had recovered, and, suppressing the saltiness in his mouth, pointed at Jiang Kehan with the salted fish in annoyance.
“Leave some for me!”
Jiang Kehan almost choked. As expected of Miss Qingci, you always manage to say things that make me lose my composure. Then she drank even faster.
Gu Qingci's eyes held a hint of resentment. If she hadn't always refused to bully the weak, and if the person opposite her was Gu Lingfeng, she would have already slashed him with her sword.
Damn it, I've lived a life of great success, and I've actually been bullied by a little witch. If word gets out, won't people laugh their heads off?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingci sighed, put the salted fish aside, and said, as if to help someone to the end.
"So what exactly is the problem that's bothering you? I'll try to analyze it for you if I have a little time."
Jiang Kehan put down the bottle and couldn't help but lick her lips. She knew this wine wasn't cheap just by tasting it. It was great!
Although she doesn't like drinking, being able to make Gu Qingci lose face is even more enjoyable than enjoying air conditioning on a hot summer day!
"It's just a few minor issues, but I do have some questions for the teacher." Jiang Kehan breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks flushing slightly.
She had figured it out; there was nothing to agonize over. She wanted to live with Li Hui, not just live for the sake of living.
It's not about abandoning your principles to save her.
I want to explore this mysterious world with Li Hui, uncover its secrets with others, and then let Li Hui stay here forever, just like me.
Looking at Jiang Kehan's face, which suddenly showed a hint of maternal smile, Gu Qingci couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
By the way, do I have an obligation to stop early romantic relationships?
Fortunately, Jiang Kehan was unaware of the other party's intention to shirk all responsibility and instead asked her own question.
"I want to know, what is the way to make a witch accept this world again?"
"Hmm?" Gu Qingci looked at her with a hint of doubt.
Are you going to say that you have a friend who is like this, and that your friend is really not yourself?
"To be honest, if you encounter this situation, you should just wash up and go to sleep. Oh, and you can also choose a good burial site sooner rather than later, so you don't have nowhere to be buried."
Jiang Kehan slammed her hand on the table and looked at her intently.
“I’m not kidding, but I do have a friend.”
Gu Qingci pretended to think for a moment, then grinned and looked at Jiang Kehan with ill intent.
"If she really is your friend, I suggest you push her yourself. Listen to me, once you've made her feel comfortable, I guarantee she won't be able to leave you and will be able to accept the world again."
After saying that, she couldn't help but whistle, teasing Jiang Kehan.
"Can I...?" For a moment, Jiang Kehan even thought that what she said made some sense, but looking at her teasing expression, her face turned red, and she could tell that the other person was just making fun of her.
Moreover, Li Hui's strength is not something she can forcefully promote!
No, that's not the point.
Jiang Kehan glared at Gu Qingci, emphasizing again, "I'm not joking!"
Gu Qingci became somewhat serious and asked in return, "So you weren't just teasing me?"
"Hiss, let me think. If there's anything that could make a witch change her mind, besides a lover, it's probably a duel."
Jiang Kehan looked at the other person suspiciously. She had no idea that witch duels could have such an abstract function as conveying feelings.
That was a true battle where death was no object, and no other emotions were allowed.
"A duel?" she asked, puzzled.
Gu Qingci nodded, spread his hands, and stared at Jiang Kehan as he spoke.
"Yes, a duel. I wonder how much Miss Jiang knows about duels? You don't think it's just about proving your strength or the thrill of fighting, do you?"
Yes, that's pretty much what I think, Jiang Kehan didn't dare to say anything.
This time, Gu Qingci was a little defensive. She frowned, tapped the table, and spoke with disdain.
"You're definitely an outsider!"
"As a dueling witch, I can tell you very seriously that witch duels, from beginning to end, always start from oneself."
"Fighting and honor are just extras. There is only one core reason why the Duel Witches can always maintain a higher status—in the face of death, we arrogantly negotiate with ourselves and tame our own hearts!"
She couldn't help but take a bite of the salted fish to vent her anger, but was immediately disgusted by the unpleasant taste. She wanted to stick out her tongue, but looking at the serious Jiang Kehan, she could only suppress her nausea and continue speaking.
“A witch’s heart changes with her own, but this subtle change is hard to detect, but a duel is different.”
"Under the pressure of death, all principles can give way. If you can seize this opportunity and force your heart to submit to you, you can achieve the unity of your mind and heart ahead of time and become stronger."
No wonder there are no forbidden spells in witch duels, they are even more unruly than no-rule fighting, is that why?
Jiang Kehan was somewhat excited, but also somewhat aggrieved.
"I understand, but how do I get my friend to accept this world willingly? I can't control her to think about surviving during a duel."
Gu Qingci ate the entire salted fish in one go, then explained to Jiang Kehan with dead fish eyes.
“It’s not difficult. As long as she has attachment to the world, that’s subjective. Although it’s called taming, it’s more like the process of adapting to the present and the past. And the so-called attachment is something that can’t be suppressed.”
“Miss Jiang, if you really want to save her, then let her stay. Even if you forcibly detain her, it’s fine.”
Gu Qingci regretted it a little. Why did she have to buy such a disgusting strange thing? Next time, she would definitely ask about the taste before buying it!
After rinsing her mouth with alcohol, she shrugged at Jiang Kehan.
"After all, any intelligent being cannot suppress its rampant emotions, whether it's hate or love, unless your friend is already a great witch."
After resigning, Gu Qing slumped in her chair and began to speak, reminiscing.
"Great witches are no longer normal beings. Their subjectivity is their own heart, and they are so powerful that they can create the world they want at will."
"I was defeated by these monsters."
Jiang Kehan felt she had found her direction and bowed gratefully to Gu Qingci, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"
She wants to drag Li Hui onto the path of dueling before Li Hui becomes the Great Witch!
Gu Qingci stared blankly at the sky, sighed, waved casually, and turned to leave.
"These are all your own business. I only mentioned it briefly. I'm not going to say anything more now. I need to go back to training."
"I hope that next time you see me, the Great Witch, who has won the championship, instead of the current Sanya King."
Chapter 75 Rules of the Witch Duel (Free)
Jiang Kehan rubbed her eyes and yawned as she looked at the data on the terminal.
The antique wooden table emitted a faint fragrance, which felt like a gentle caress to her brain, which had only slept for two hours the night before, making her feel much more comfortable.
She casually put the quill pen back on the pen holder, gazing at the still-warm ink marks on the diary, feeling a pang of emotion.
I never imagined there were so many details involved in the Witch's Duel. If Gu Qingci hadn't pointed it out to me, I probably wouldn't have known until I found my team.
Witch Duel is divided into team matches and single matches. The single matches are relatively easy, and before the Witch Summit, the mainstream matches were team matches.
However, team battles are not a mode where several witches stand shoulder to shoulder and blow the opponent into idiots.
Instead, the team consists of 5 official members, 2 substitute members, and 1 temporary member, and still adopts a one-on-one format.
However, it is much more entertaining than a simple one-on-one match, which is why it has become mainstream.
"A formal witch team competition is generally divided into three stages: the opening match, the main match, and the overtime match. It uses a points system, which makes tactical arrangements particularly important."
Jiang Kehan hooked her finger and tapped her temple, unable to resist simulating a simple team match.
The opening match rules stipulate that each side sends out one official player, and the winning team will receive 5 points, giving them a significant advantage.
However, the losing side doesn't come away empty-handed. If the game goes into overtime, the overtime format will be chosen by the losing side of the opening match.
This tactic weakens teams with individual supermodel players, increases the importance of overall strength, and is also related to the overtime format.
