"Why?" Lanling asked.
Gou Li knelt quietly on the ground, motionless.
She had no way to answer Lanling's question, as her heart was already filled with extreme anguish and regret.
"Master, I have no way to answer. If I must give a reason, it is my foolishness!" Gou Li said.
Lanling said, "Can you imagine what consequences you will face?"
Gou Li nodded and said, "I know I am undoubtedly doomed, but... I still want to give it a try!"
"Give it a try? Try what?" Lanling asked.
Gou Li said, "Try to see if I have any chance of survival, to see if you can give me an opportunity."
Lanling nodded and said, "Very well, then go and try."
He was incredibly calm; as for Gou Li's betrayal, it couldn't be said that he had predicted it, but he definitely wasn't surprised.
The reason for sparing Gou Li's life was merely an experiment, a test on the Barbarians.
After all, Lanling couldn't kill all of the Rakshasa Tribe; he always had to make some of them his own.
