Gu Tianqing raised his head in response, his lips twitching slightly: "Are you saying you think I'm doomed?"
"What else? Didn't you get stabbed?"
Yi Lin replied as if it were only natural.
"Yes."
Gu Tianqing sighed softly, then displayed the Tarot Cards before Yi Lin: "If it weren't for Freya, I would already be dead."
Yi Lin roughly understood—"Freya" was apparently the name of Gu Tianqing's Ling.
The Tarot Cards showed nearly every single card with a glaring crack marred across the back.
When held in Gu Tianqing's hand, the once eerie and enigmatic aura was gone, leaving only a set of ordinary-looking Tarot Cards.
"What happened?"
Yi Lin frowned slightly.
"Killed."
Gu Tianqing replied.
"Killed?"
"Yes, I used the 'life substitution' card set, allowing Freya to take the fatal blow on my behalf."
"But Lings don't die, right?"
