Other people were killed by Chu Xuan without hesitation, but he was hesitant with Haitang's granduncle, who had attended the wedding at the Dao Palace; he held back from delivering a fatal blow, causing the beautiful head to misalign a bit from the attack direction, or else the opposing party wouldn't just lose half of their body.
Gu Haitang heard his words, tears fell uncontrollably once again, she nodded repeatedly, choking out: "Thank you, I know what they did to you justified any revenge, but still thank you for sparing them for me."
Chu Xuan reached out to wipe away the tears from her face, his voice gentle: "Don't cry, you've shed too many tears for me already; and thank you is unnecessary, between us, saying thanks feels like we're strangers."
Moved, Gu Haitang hugged Chu Xuan, fearing he was merely a dream. She struggled to hold back her tears and said: "What happened next?"
