Chapter 73 Give Me This Opportunity

"Quickly lay the teacher down flat!"

The two carefully laid Liu Zhan down, and then Gu Hengzhou carefully took out a book from his pocket and handed it to Feng Qiuchi next to him.

"Feng Qiuchi, I know that part of the reason why the teacher has fallen to this state is because of you."

"If it weren't for your endorsement, how could my teacher, a Grand Tutor, have been so easily convicted?"

Upon hearing his senior brother's words, Feng Qiuchi silently lowered his head. He wanted to say that he didn't mean it, but he swallowed the words back.

The deed is done, and any explanation at this point seems futile.

"You're the one who harmed the teacher, but now do you even want to save her?"

"I want to!" He nodded hastily, tormented by guilt and the accusations from his fellow disciples.

If possible, he would certainly want to save them.

"If you want to save him, do as I say!" Looking at Liu Zhan lying there calmly, Gu Hengzhou said softly, "This soul-transferring technique can transfer my teacher into my body, so he can live!"

"As long as Master is alive, he can save more people!"

"Senior Brother, what about you?"

"Me?" Gu Hengzhou chuckled lightly and shook his head nonchalantly. "I'm not important. The world can live without Gu Hengzhou, but it cannot live without its teacher!"

Pointing to the book he had just handed to Feng Qiuchi, Gu Hengzhou solemnly instructed, "Read it carefully and memorize every single word!"

"Every step must be flawless, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain, and both the teacher and I will be in grave danger. Do you understand?"

Holding the so-called soul-shifting secret technique in his hand, Feng Qiuchi nervously opened it and looked at it, his expression becoming more and more uneasy as he looked.

The complex content and process involved cannot possibly be learned in just one night, and to do so meticulously without making a single mistake is a challenge that few people can accomplish.

The lives of his senior brother and teacher weighed heavily on him, increasing his pressure.

He's not particularly good at handling pressure, and he's well aware of that. The greater the pressure, the more likely he is to make mistakes.

"Senior Brother, what if I... what if I can't do it well?"

"You have to do well. I'll be unconscious the whole time and won't be able to guide you!" With his hands tightly gripping the other person's shoulders, Gu Hengzhou looked straight at him.

"The teacher's life is in your hands now. You cannot afford to make the slightest mistake, do you hear me!"

"I, I..." The more flustered Feng Qiuchi became, the more uneasy he felt, and his hands even trembled slightly.

"Don't panic. It's just the two of us here. If I could do it, why would I let you? I'll be the vessel for the teacher; the rest of the process is up to you. Do you understand?"

"Wait!" The more he was urged, the more flustered Feng Qiuchi became, but after hearing Gu Hengzhou's words, he seemed to realize something and immediately looked up.

"Senior Brother, let me do it. Can I be the vessel for the teacher?"

"You?" She stared straight at him, as if she were meeting this junior brother for the first time.

"It's possible, but..."

"No buts!" Feng Qiuchi interrupted him directly, a relieved and relaxed smile on his face. "Senior Brother, as long as it works, that's enough."

"You found this secret method, you are most familiar with it, so if you preside over it, the whole process can be completed with ease."

Upon realizing this possibility, Feng Qiuchi immediately calmed down and then understood many things.

"In this way, Teacher can live. Besides, I am, after all, an official of the imperial court and the son of the Minister of Justice. By using my body, Teacher's ambitions can be better realized!"

"Qiu Chi!" Gu Hengzhou gently patted his junior brother's shoulder and said with a hint of respect, "After all, your father is an enemy of our teacher. If our teacher uses your body, aren't you afraid that he might do something to the Feng family?"

"Senior Brother!" Feng Qiuchi shook his head with a smile, and at this moment he calmed down.

"I still trust the teacher's character; he wouldn't do anything to the Feng family."

"Moreover, the Feng family may seem prosperous now, but in reality, it is already in turmoil. The new emperor has great ambitions, and his killing of the teacher is actually just to give an explanation to those old nobles who have been driven to desperation, but the new laws will never disappear."

"Next, the stubborn Feng family will naturally be eliminated. The imperial court is sharpening its knives, and the next target will be my father."

"If the teacher were here, the Feng family might still have a chance to survive. Sacrificing myself could not only save the teacher but also protect the Feng family. I would consider it a worthwhile death."

With a soft sigh, Feng Qiuchi seemed to have lifted a heavy burden. These past few days, he had been under just as much pressure as anyone else.

In the eyes of others, he was a traitor. But in his own heart, he was also suffering greatly.

Moreover, when the teacher was imprisoned, his father was not happy; instead, he sighed and lamented every day.

Perhaps even the father didn't expect that what they, these stubborn ones, thought the worst that could happen to their teacher was being forced to retire and return to his hometown. They never imagined that the teacher's fate would be beheading.

That's why the father sighed and lamented constantly, living in constant anxiety.

Now, if the teacher could replace him, the game of chess seems to come alive.

Having figured all this out, Feng Qiuchi felt a sense of relief, as if all the things that had weighed on his mind had vanished.

"Senior Brother!" Feng Qiuchi suddenly knelt before Gu Hengzhou and resolutely said, "I betrayed Master before, now let me make amends for my past mistakes!"

"Please, Senior Brother, give me this chance, I beg you!"

"Alright, get up first!" After carefully helping Feng Qiuchi up, Gu Hengzhou instructed again, "Qiuchi, once the process begins, there will be no turning back. Are you really sure?"

"Senior Brother, my mind is made up!"

"Okay, then you lie down next to the teacher."

Under Gu Hengzhou's guidance, Feng Qiuchi carefully lay down next to Liu Zhan.

Looking at Liu Zhan's slightly weathered face beside him, Feng Qiuchi suddenly felt much calmer.

With a teacher around, my name will surely be remembered for generations to come because of that teacher!

"Qiuchi, I'm about to begin. Remember, no matter how much pain you endure, no matter what situation you face, you cannot resist in any way, not even the slightest bit. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Senior Brother, I'll remember this!"

"Okay!" After Feng Qiuchi finished scalding, Gu Hengzhou opened a jade box that he always carried with him. As soon as the box was opened, a strong smell of blood wafted out.

A massive, blood-red wave surged from the box, instantly engulfing Feng Qiuchi completely.

As he was enveloped by this crimson wave, Feng Qiuchi could clearly feel his reason being constantly washed away, gradually plunging him into chaos and confusion.

The extreme pain felt like it was tearing my soul apart. My head felt like it was being stabbed by countless steel needles at the same time, or being slowly sliced ​​apart by a knife. Waves of pain came over me, and sweat instantly soaked my whole body.

But he firmly remembered that he could not resist, and could only watch helplessly as his reason and thought gradually dissipated.

In his dazed state, he seemed to hear the teacher's voice.

It must be an illusion. It seems my consciousness is indeed fading away; even hallucinations are happening.

At this moment, Liu Zhan slowly sat up from the ground, and Gu Hengzhou, who was standing next to him, was not surprised at all.

"teacher!"
