Chapter 411 World Chapter Final Battle of Xuanyong (15)

A person's life is destined to be full of ups and downs.

Regardless of your status, you cannot deny that life is actually a journey of suffering; being a human being, you will inevitably be ravaged and tortured by reality.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, there are some people who, from the moment they are born, are assisted by God in everything they do. Even if they encounter some minor setbacks occasionally, they can quickly and automatically resolve them; they are all God's favorites.

Gao Jianli belongs to this type.

In fact, Gao Jianli has a life that is enough to make 99% of young people envy, hate and hate him.

Gao Jianli was born into a wealthy family in the north. He was very talented and was recommended by his family to study in Jixia Academy. With his handsome appearance and arrogant personality, he conquered thousands of innocent girls in the academy. Not only that, but with his outstanding talent, he once became the leader among the apprentices of that period, and was even listed as the proud student of Xiaoyao Huanmeng, one of the three great sages of Jixia. At that time, he was only 17 years old!
Later, at the age of 20, Gao Jianli finished his studies and returned to his hometown. During this period, he felt like a fish in water. His prominent background and noble status made him a role model among his peers wherever he went and a great man in the eyes of his elders. Half a year later, he was given the reputation of "the most legendary musician".

At the peak of his fame, he partied every night, squandered his easily earned money lavishly, and surrounded himself with all kinds of beauties; he lacked nothing, because he had already obtained all the things that many people desire in their lifetime.

However, Gao Jianli's life of luxury did not bring him long-term satisfaction. As time went by, he felt terribly empty and confused. What was the meaning of his life? Was it just to enjoy the material life that was within his reach and then die alone?

Because everything came too easily and he didn't feel bad about giving it up, Gao Jianli abandoned everything and started his journey with this confusion.

It should be said that before the age of 26, Gao Jianli's life was as flawless as his piano skills. He could always easily get things that many people could not get in their entire lives, and then squander them wantonly in the eyes of countless jealous people.
However, such a man who had a smooth first half of his life encountered two "accidents" later, and it was these two accidents that changed his life.

The first accident was when he accidentally entered the Changping battlefield during his journey that year; after a bloody fight between two hostile legions, he witnessed with his own eyes an unprecedented monster appearing in the Xuanyong army, harvesting hundreds of lives, and the victims were sucked dry in an instant. At that moment, Gao Jianli was deeply shocked and thought that he had found a mission more important than music - to curb the spread of war and save thousands of lives torn by the flames of war!
After leaving Changping, in order to curb the growing strength of Xuanyong, Gao Jianli began to contact "stop the war" patriots everywhere. However, what Gao Jianli did not expect was that this was the beginning of his encounter with the most important person in his life...

Ake, a cold girl from an ancient assassin family.

The first time he met a girl was when Gao Jianli had just arrived in the State of Yan and was about to meet with Prince Dan of Yan, who was forming the "Stop-War Alliance". Outside the magnificent palace, he happened to meet the cold little girl who was standing alone at the empty gate.

In the evening, when the sun sets, at the end of the vast square, outside the towering gate, a lonely, slender figure is quietly waiting there against the wall. In the afterglow, the girl seems to have merged into one with the whole world.

But to be honest, Ake didn't give Gao Jianli a very good first impression. Although the girl had a pretty face, her pale face was covered with frost, especially her eyes, which should have been very lively, but always revealed a fierce light like a beast, which made Gao Jianli shudder.

In Gao Jianli's opinion, shouldn't girls of this age be innocent and naive?
Of course, as they only met by chance, Gao Jianli naturally wouldn't take A Ke seriously.

"Miss, how do I get to the palace of His Excellency Prince Dan?" Although it was a bit awkward, Gao Jianli could not find the residence of Prince Dan of Yan in the huge imperial city, so he subconsciously asked A Ke. As a result, the girl in front of him completely ignored Gao Jianli's existence, just leaning against the red painted wall with her arms folded across her chest, motionless, like a delicate stone sculpture, beautiful but extremely cold.

Gao Jianli frowned slightly.

As a hero who was treated with courtesy and respect wherever he went, he had not been treated so coldly for a long time. He subconsciously raised his voice and asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to His Excellency Prince Dan's palace?"

Ake finally raised his face.

She glanced at Gao Jianli who was so close to her. The look in her eyes was in stark contrast to her pretty face. It was sharp and cold, like an ice cone piercing Gao Jianli's heart.

Gao Jianli was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt disgusted; for him, who had seen countless women, such a girl was really disgusting!
At this time, A'ke finally responded, but she just raised her thumb and pointed at the door next to her: "Find it yourself."

Her voice was unexpectedly clear and pleasant, forming a sharp contrast with her cold appearance.

What an unpleasant woman.
This was Gao Jianli’s thought at the time.

This was the first encounter between Gao Jianli and Ake, but neither of them took it to heart at the time.

Afterwards, Gao Jianli met Prince Dan of Yan. He thought he had finally found a like-minded ally, but he could never have expected that the subsequent developments would be completely beyond his imagination.

Yan Taizi Dan, who Gao Jianli had high hopes for, secretly dispatched troops to ambush Fan Yuqi and the assassin Jing Ke because he was jealous of General Fan Yuqi becoming the leader of the war. Not only that, at the same time, the Jing family also suffered a catastrophic disaster. The special force "Black and White Chess" from Jixia Academy slaughtered the entire Jing family overnight. That night, it rained heavily, and the rain mixed with blood soaked the entire territory of the Jing family. The scene was shocking. This scene made Gao Jianli realize for the first time that the Jixia Academy, which had carefully cultivated him and prided itself on fairness and justice, actually had such a bloody side.
The so-called "Alliance to Stop the War" is nothing more than a game played by those in power. What they want is not to stop the war, but to seize power!

Gao Jianli seemed to understand something and began to feel confused again, but this confusion did not last long.

When, during the banquet where cups were clinking, A'ke, who was dressed up as a dancer, suddenly attacked in full view of everyone and slashed Prince Dan of Yan's neck with lightning speed, Gao Jianli's frustrated eyes suddenly lit up as if he had discovered a new world.

Yes, since no one else can be relied upon, why can't he himself carry out the will to "stop the war"?
So in the chaos, Gao Jianli secretly killed the pursuers and rescued the seriously injured and dying A Ke, intending to train A Ke to become a tool for him to realize his ambitions.

That’s right, as long as this girl is allowed to assassinate the Lord of Xuanyong, the war will naturally stop!
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected; because Ake lost her memory.
