The death was a reward, when Ten Ways Religion monopolized, the Maitreya religion Buddha will resurrect me.” “加入十方教的时候,我就已经被告知会有这样的事情发生,可惜我没能自杀成功。死亡是一种奖赏,等到十方教一统天下的时候,弥勒佛祖会将我复活。” „Will Maitreya religion turn into man or woman you?” “弥勒会将你变成男人还是女人?” Nangong Huai does not make a sound, when Gu Shenwei orders her to be in luck together, she observes honestly, without any revolt. 南宫坏不吱声了,但是当顾慎为命令她一块走时,她老老实实地遵守,没有任何反抗。 Gu Shenwei must bring beginning, the iron two people leave on a journey the village together, how to place Nangong Huai has become an issue, Ten Ways Religion indeed possibly sent for killing her, the government authorities and Jianghu school also possibly visited to demand, in the Shu Le Country Mission actually nobody can protect her. 顾慎为要带着初、铁二人一块去程家庄,如何安置南宫坏就成了一个问题,十方教的确可能派人来杀她,官府与江湖门派也可能上门索要,疏勒国使团里却没有人能保护她。 Gu Shenwei only remaining candidates. 顾慎为只剩下一个人选。 Shangguan Fei is surprised, the first response rejects, here is unsafe, my several years have not practiced martial arts, now the skill is worse.
