Shi Sheng looked into the void. "In this world, the strong live and the weak die. I never thought that you didn't save the Xia family."
Everyone fell silent. Even Jinxi stared at Shi Sheng in shock.
Shi Sheng sneered. "If I really thought that you had something to do with the Xia family's destruction, you would've gone to hell like those who participated in it.
"But … it's fine if you don't want to save them. Why do you have to find so many excuses and put yourself in a position where you can't do what you want?"
She didn't say anything back then. Those who were killed were all people who were involved in this matter.
These people were the ones who wanted to clear their names and prove that it wasn't that they didn't want to save them. Weren't they courting death?
The three of them looked awful.
"We didn't have a choice. You know that the Alliance has been planning for so long. How could they let us free up to help?" Jinxi said stiffly.
The Alliance was interested in the Xia family's manufacturing ability. If that ability could be used in the military, the Alliance could unify the six galaxies.
However, the Xia family didn't want to join the Alliance. After the Alliance failed to persuade them several times, they colluded with some members of the imperial family who wanted to join the Alliance. Thus, they planned for many years.
"Patriarch Shi, if you want to distance yourself from us because of this, you're disregarding the greater good. We all feel bad about what happened to the Xia family. We can accept that you're angry at us. But now, if we don't unite, we'll face a situation worse than back then. Is that what you want to see? "
Shi Sheng knocked on the table impatiently. "I told you, I'm not angry at you. I just can't stand you. Don't put the blame on yourself."
If I was angry at you, I would've killed you long ago!
Everyone: "…" They couldn't stand it. Wasn't he just taking out his anger on them?
"If you want to talk about taking out my anger, I'm only angry at Patriarch Ji."
Ji Ye raised his head and wiped his face. He said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for what happened back then. If I could've listened to her, perhaps …"
There were no ifs or maybes.
Things had already happened.
"As her fiancé, you didn't even listen to her when she was looking for you. Instead, you went to look for Ji Xuan who couldn't find her way."
Ji Ye lowered his head dispiritedly, and his face paled inch by inch.
Shi Sheng's voice was calm, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry. "Since you like Ji Xuan, why did you choose to get engaged to Xia Chu? Matchmaker's words, parents' orders? With your status, what's so hard about not agreeing? Ji Ye, how does it feel to watch the Xia family being destroyed? "
"Do you think it's wrong for me to vent my anger on you?"
In the end, Shi Sheng's tone became a little aggressive. Even Caesar could not stand it anymore.
But from another perspective, if your fiancé didn't even listen to you and went to look for someone else for the sake of another woman, and perhaps even missed the last chance to save yourself, would you hate him? Would she resent him?
If Ji Ye was not Xia Chu's fiancé, he would not have done so. After all, they were unrelated, and there was no need to save each other. But they were engaged, and the wedding was set, but he did such a thing. Shi Sheng felt that he was being very generous by not killing him.
Neither Patriarch Yan nor Jin Xi knew about this. They all thought that Shi Sheng was angry at Ji Ye for no reason because he was Xia Chu's fiancé.
"It's my fault." Ji Ye's voice was hoarse. "I'm sorry for Xia Chu and the Xia family."
Shi Sheng looked at him, and his voice was still cold. "Do you know why Xia Chu didn't contact you when she had the chance?"
Even if he had left, Xia Chu could have contacted him, but she did not do so.
Ji Ye looked up slightly, and his eyes were a little red. He stared at Shi Sheng and clenched his hands.
"She didn't want to implicate you. Since you left, it meant that you shouldn't have gotten involved, so she didn't contact you. She did everything she could. What about you, Ji Ye? What did you do after the Xia family was destroyed? "
After the Xia family was destroyed, he announced the annulment of his engagement with Xia Chu.
Did he say a word for the Xia family?
Even if there was no love, there should be some affection, right?
Yes, that was what she thought at the beginning, but she did not think so anymore.
But this did not stop her from venting her anger on Ji Ye.
"I don't know if Xia Chu likes you or not, but after she got engaged with you, she abided by her duty and put herself in the position of your fiancé. She never embarrassed you, and she did everything you asked for."
"What about you? What did you do? "
"You were intimate with Ji Xuan in front of her, and you even asked Xia Chu to make a personal weapon for Ji Xuan. You probably don't know how your sister Ji Xuan was against Xia Chu behind your back, right? Do you remember one time when she came back covered in injuries? I was the one who hit her. If Xia Chu hadn't stopped me, she would have died that day. "
Shi Sheng paused. "Who is Ji Xuan? How can an orphan be worthy of Xia Chu's personal weapon? "
Ji Ye did not seem to know what Shi Sheng was talking about. He was a little confused and even a little resistant to Shi Sheng's words.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
Even the hot-tempered Jing Xi calmed down. Patriarch Yan and Caesar looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
"I advise you to give up. I will never be on the same side as you."
Shi Sheng stood up and looked at the faces in the void. He regained his arrogant look. "You don't deserve to be on the same side as me."
She turned off the communication and all the images disappeared. The training ground was dead silent.
A young man covered in light came from afar and hugged her gently. Shi Sheng hugged him back and greedily rubbed against his warmth.
It was enough for her to have him by her side.
Shi Sheng spoke after a long while, "I don't get it. She's clearly someone who kills without batting an eyelid, so why is she so tolerant and soft-hearted towards certain people? Ji Die was like this, Ji Ye was like this, and she was even willing to let Ji Xuan go.
Feng Ci stroked her back. "Just like how you soft-hearted towards me, she should like them."
"It's different." If it were her, Ji Die and Ji Ye would definitely die. She would not allow betrayal.
If Feng Ci betrayed her one day, she would not be soft-hearted. Even if she had to die, she would drag him down with her.
"Xiao Sheng, everyone has their own beliefs." Feng Ci lowered his head and his lips landed on the top of her head. "Before I met you, I didn't care about anything. It didn't matter even if it was destroyed. But now that you are my faith, I will consider whether or not doing this will hurt you, whether or not it will make you angry. "
"What strange things have you been watching recently?" This mouth full of sweet nothings was f * cking enough.
"Belief in love."
Shi Sheng's mouth twitched. "Don't read such books. Some things don't need to be said. Just do it."
Feng Ci was puzzled. Then, he picked up Shi Sheng. "Then do it now?"
Shi Sheng: "…" Get lost!
