Sure enough, Lin Mumu didn't care at all about Shen Gu's "suspicion" that was exposed by the white-bearded old man in his words just now.
The way she looked at Shen Gu now was no longer as calm as before, as if she had to "be willing to separate" for Shen Gu's good. Instead, her eyes were full of hope after the surprise, and she obviously wanted to persuade Shen Gu to stay. Down!
"Stay here forever, just like Dongfang Yun's replacement did before leaving here?"
Shen Gu was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the other two people.
Lin Mumu did not immediately persuade him to do this, as if she was giving him time to think carefully.
However, Shen Gu didn't remain silent for long after he said those words. He quickly asked the white-bearded old man a question about Dongfang Yun's replacement:
"Since drinking the tea you gave me here will not consume my lifespan, in other words, I will be almost immortal. Then, since Dongfang Yun's replacement here also has his previous memories, why not stay here forever?"
"On the contrary, after living in seclusion for ten years, when the restrictions imposed on Dongfang Yun before leaving were lifted, would you rather give up eternal life than leave?"
The old man with a white beard, whom Lin Mumu had previously called "Grandpa Shan", immediately smiled after hearing Shen Gu's question.
He did not answer Shen Gu's question directly, but instead asked Shen Gu a question:
"Even if you can gain eternal life by staying here, you will never be able to meet your beloved in the outside world. Are you willing to abandon her and stay?"
After Shen Gu heard such questions, the sweet moments with Su Ziqing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
If he hadn't had to pay a huge price of 60 years of life to save her before, he felt that he would definitely not choose to stay here now, or that he would have to wait until he was very old to bring Su Ziqing here to gain eternal life. Chance!
But in this situation, if Shen Gu doesn't want to leave the world through the waterfall, staying in this valley for the rest of his life seems to be his only option to continue living.
He stood up from the sofa, walked to the opposite side of "Grandpa Shan", bowed deeply to him very respectfully and said:
"In my eyes, you are like a god."
"So I beg you very sincerely, if there is a way for me to live a few more years without leaving this world or staying here, please tell me with mercy!"
"Because in the world outside Shenlongjia, I do have someone I want to spend my whole life with!!"
"Grandpa Shan" sighed softly when he saw Shen Gu acting like this.
However, he did not answer Shen Gu immediately. Instead, he turned his head and asked Lin Mumu with deep meaning:
"Mumu, seeing how he is now, the person he is talking about is definitely not you!"
"If I say that I can fulfill his wish, but the price is that you need to sacrifice your life, then are you willing?"
Lin Mumu was stunned after hearing this. Before she could speak, Shen Gu, who had been pleading to "Grandpa Shan" just now, said in a decisive tone:
"no!"
“Absolutely not!!”
Such an unusually firm statement made Lin Mumu feel warm in his heart.
She smiled, stopped talking, and just continued to listen to Shen Gu's further statement to "Grandpa Shan":
"I cannot be so selfish as to sacrifice other people's lives for my own happiness."
"If you have no other way, I just want to ask you again, can you tell me if I leave this valley and stop drinking your tea, how long can I survive after returning to the outside world?"
Guma
This question was one that Shen Gu asked the system in his mind after redeeming his life span for Su Ziqing, but the system never gave him an answer.
Before he redeemed his life span, the system told him that if he chose to redeem his 60-year life span, he would probably live between 0 and 5 years.
What Shen Gu is thinking now is that he hopes that the old man with a white beard who seems to have "magnificent powers" can tell him an accurate number.
The bottom line in his heart is that it will take at least a few months.
In this way, he can return to the outside world first and arrange more properly the things he wanted to do outside but had not had time to do before he rushed here this time!
These include:
Find the accomplice of Wu Ge's "second incident" for Su Ziqing, and deal with him or her to eliminate future safety risks for Su Zi.
It can be more reasonable to lay the groundwork with his parents for the reason why he will suddenly disappear one day in the future.
And if there is enough time, he will finally accompany Su Ziqing to Yunzhou, and accompany her to do a very high bungee jump that he would not dare to do under normal circumstances, etc.
This time, the old man with the white beard answered him directly:
"7 days!"
"Not counting today."
Even though he was mentally prepared for the fact that he had very little life left, when he heard that there was only so little left, Shen Gu was still stunned on the spot as if he had been hit hard!
If it takes at least two days to travel from Chendong City or Jianghai City to and from Shenlongjia under normal circumstances, then if he wants to leave Shenlongjia and return to modern society to do something, the time actually left for him will only be Five days already!!
"System, did you know that I only had this little life left, so you didn't tell me, and you hoped that I would be careless and not come here as soon as possible, so that when I die, you can take over my body as quickly as possible?"
Shen Gu asked in his heart.
[No, you misunderstood me, I do not have the ability to accurately measure your remaining life span]
[His ability here is much higher than mine, so if he knows that you can’t tell me, I can also know it]
The system gave Shen Gu a positive response on this matter.
So Shen Gu asked it a straightforward question in his mind:
"Then if I decide to stay here from now on, drink his tea every day, and live forever, will you be disappointed?"
"Because of this, you will never be able to replace me!"
Hearing the system's brief silence, Shen Gu immediately stated his purpose like striking the iron while it was hot:
"Why don't you give me back the 10 years of life you earned from me? Then besides letting me die, I can do anything else you want me to do for you in the future."
"Or I can work hard to find the accomplice who helped Wu Ge harm Su Ziqing this time. Then if you have a way to take his (her) life, or even live in his (her) place, I can do my best to help you!"
In fact, after Shen Gu felt that Wu Ge might have an "accomplice", even though he didn't have time to find it yet, in Shen Gu's mind, he already had the person he was most suspicious of as a possible "accomplice".
That is the person who is very close to Wu Ge and has the motive to want Su Ziqing to die——
She is Wu Ge's cousin, and she is also Wu Jiayi, a first-line actress in the entertainment industry who publicly confessed her love to Shen Gu on her personal homepage!
