You would only take the initiative to get to know someone if you liked someone.
If you didn't like someone, that person would always be a passerby.
You could lie to someone about anything, but loving someone or not was as easy as drinking water.
"You don't know me, but I know you very well …"
Bai Xiu said this in a relaxed and natural manner, but how much hardship and regret did he have in his heart?
Phoenix was only Fang Yan's first love, but she was Bai Xiu's girlfriend.
His own girlfriend stabbed herself for someone else's boyfriend. Such a thing was rare in this world, right?
Fang Yan could only blame Phoenix for being ruthless, because Phoenix had never given him any promises.
However, Bai Xiu had the right to reprimand Phoenix for her betrayal …
"Sigh …"
Bai Xiu sighed deeply and said, "Don't ever say sorry to anyone in the future, at least not to me …"
"Bai Xiu …" Phoenix was already in tears, and her voice was already starting to hiccup.
Everything that she had experienced today was a nightmare to her.
The cruelest and most heartless nightmare!
However, even so, she still didn't want to wake up …
Because no matter how terrifying a dream was, it was ultimately a dream. Everything that happened in the dream was fake and illusory.
If it was reality, there would be blood and deaths — she couldn't accept such an outcome.
Although she had thought about it a hundred times, made up her mind a hundred times, and decided to take on everything a hundred times — wasn't the reason why there were a hundred times because she hadn't thought it through, hadn't made up her mind, and couldn't take on everything?
"You rushed over for him. No matter how much your heart ached, he already understood your feelings." Bai Xiu hugged Shangxin's body tightly with one arm and said in a calm and gentle voice, "When you stabbed me, the best place to stab me was actually my heart. However, you only stabbed my stomach — this proved that you didn't want to kill me, but only wanted to injure me."
A hint of bitterness appeared on Bai Xiu's face as he said, "For so many years, everyone thought that I had won. They thought that I was the winner on the battlefield of love. However, I knew that I had lost, and Fang Yan was the real winner — even though everyone knew that you were my girlfriend, you had never held my hand when we were alone. It's only when we meet Fang Yan that you take the initiative to hold my hand — what do you want to prove? "
"You want to tell Fang Yan to give up on me, that the person I like is Bai Xiu. You're also telling yourself to stop letting your imagination run wild. The person you're going to choose is Bai Xiu. You're just doing that to strengthen your belief in Fang Yan and yourself. "
"Why is it necessary to be firm? If you like it, then you like it. If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Why do you need to be firm? Because in your heart, you still care more about Fang Yan. Although because of your family's standpoint, you can only exclude him. But have you ever thought about what I am? What am I? "
"Bai Xiu —"
Bai Xiu gently kissed Phoenix's black hair fluttering in the wind and said, "Am I also a proud person? I also have the self-esteem of a man — the time I liked the most was when I walked shoulder to shoulder with you by the stone river. The time I felt the most sad was when you suddenly ran over and held my hand. Because I knew that Fang Yan must be coming, Fang Yan must be coming — "
"I don't have any experience in love, and I don't know what love is. But I read in a book that when you are with the person you like the most, she is your independent kingdom — your line of sight is imprisoned by her, and you can't come into contact with anything outside. My eyes only have you, and your eyes — are always the first to discover traces of Fang Yan. My martial arts are better than yours. If someone else comes close, shouldn't I be the first to discover it? What I'm grateful for is that your sword didn't stab my heart in the end — this is the best reward for my efforts, right? "
"Bai Xiu —" Phoenix's legs were weak, and her body softly leaned against Bai Xiu's chest.
The sword in her hand couldn't stab down, nor could it fall.
Her hand holding the sword was shaking, but because Bai Xiu's hand was holding the sword, one end of the sword was still fixed in Phoenix's palm.
"Is it loyalty to your family or loyalty to your own feelings? Everyone will be in a dilemma when they encounter this kind of problem. Is it disloyal, unfilial, or heartless — it's hard for me to decide when I encounter this kind of thing. No matter what choice you make, it's wrong. You coming here is a mistake — "
Bai Xiu lightly patted Phoenix's shoulder and took the sword from her trembling hand. His eyes were gentle, and his voice was filled with infinite affection as he said, "You're too tired. Go back and rest well — when you wake up, everything will be over. "
"Bai Xiu, don't —" Phoenix hugged Bai Xiu tightly, her voice sorrowful and pleading.
Bai Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "You see, you're making things difficult for me again — I've never refused any of your requests, but this time, I can only disappoint you."
Bai Xiu pushed Phoenix's body away from him, looked at Phoenix's collapsed body on the ground, and said, "Go back. Don't let me see you cry, and don't let him see you cry — you look very ugly when you cry. "
Phoenix shook her head. She didn't want to leave.
But if she didn't leave, what else could she do?
She watched as they plotted step by step to lure Fang Yan into the insect, but she couldn't bear to see him die.
She wanted to stab Bai Xiu so that Fang Yan could escape with less resistance, but her actions were seen through by Bai Xiu — not only did she fail to save Fang Yan, but she also hurt this man who had wholeheartedly loved and cared for her for many years.
"An Xiaoxiao —" She roared angrily in her heart. She felt that the owner of this name was the world's stupidest, most selfish, and most despicable woman —
She hated herself!
A deep-rooted hatred!
While Bai Xiu was pacifying Phoenix, the other generals by Jiang Junling's side had all arrived.
Two tall men in suits stood there like two towering mountains, two old men in gray robes with shriveled cheeks who didn't say a word, the two brothers Kongzhu and Xiu Mu whose strength seemed to have not been depleted, and the Saber Monarch Luo Jin, who had recovered his energy for a short period of time and was once again on guard, ready to enter the battle at any time.
These people surrounded Fang Yan in the middle, forming a human wall that could both attack and defend.
Bai Xiu's hand was bleeding profusely. He used the handkerchief he had used to wipe Phoenix's tears to simply bandage his hand.
His movements were simple and practiced. It seemed that he had done this kind of thing many times before.
After the wound on his hand was tightly bandaged, Bai Xiu once again raised his longsword and looked at Fang Yan, who was in the middle of the battle, and asked with a smile, "How much have you recovered?"
Bai Xiu's guess was correct. Fang Yan was indeed resting.
He was resting when he was talking to Bai Xiu, he was resting when he was distressed by Phoenix, and he was resting when Phoenix stopped Bai Xiu from comforting Phoenix.
Just now, in the battle with Martial Maniac Hou Zhendong at the summit of Single Sword Peak, Fang Yan had expended too much energy and essence.
Martial Maniac Hou Zhendong was one of the world's top experts, and one of Hua Xia's Seven Maniacs. His entire body was covered in cracks, and it was true that Fang Yan felt a great deal of pressure.
If Fang Yan hadn't won through trickery, the two of them might have fought to the death.
But even though Fang Yan had won in the end, his energy was almost completely depleted.
Thus, he needed energy.
If he wanted to break out of the encirclement, he needed an intense battle!
At the very least, these people in front of him wouldn't let him go so easily.
"Seventy percent," Fang Yan said.
His essence, qi, and spirit had only recovered to forty percent. Just now, when he received Saber Lord's firewood cleaver, the silvery-white crystals that appeared out of nowhere had almost drained all the energy in his body.
Even if Fang Yan had the aid of the Taiji Heart, which could speed up his body's recovery, he had only recovered forty percent of his energy. Up until now, he had only recovered forty percent of his previous strength and will.
His body was empty, and his will was exhausted. How could he win this battle?
Of course, he wouldn't tell Bai Xiu the truth.
Bai Xiu was a narcissist. Why would he ask such an idiotic question?
Bai Xiu smiled and nodded. "Seventy percent is just right."
"You can kill me without letting others think that you're bullying me. Seventy percent is indeed just right." Fang Yan sneered.
"That's right." Bai Xiu nodded. "My opponent is too weak. He's not worth my attack."
Fang Yan was furious. He glared at Bai Xiu fiercely and said, "What right do you have to say that I'm not worth your attack? Come, come, come, let's fight one-on-one — "
He pointed at Kongzhu, Xiu Mu, and the others and said, "None of you attack. I want to see how strong this idiot is. In my opinion, he's the weakest among you all. "
No one answered.
No one left the encirclement.
Fang Yan sighed in his heart.
The times had changed. The people's intelligence had increased. There were fewer idiots. Even the performance of swindlers wasn't as good as before.
Bai Xiu calmly looked at everyone and loudly said, "Everyone, time is of the essence. Let us join hands and kill this brat — —"
"That's how it should be — —" Kongzhu agreed.
"This brat has picked up a great bargain. Being surrounded by so many of us is a great blessing in life — —"
"Let's begin, no more chatter — —" the bulky black-clothed man roared.
"Shameless!" Fang Yan cursed.
"Thank you."
Before Bai Xiu finished speaking, he and his sword had already disappeared from their original positions.
Before he could even reappear, a silvery-white sword ray descended from the sky. Like a bolt of lightning, it enveloped the space above Fang Yan's head.
Rumble — —
Lightning!
Thunder!
A single strike of the sword could cause lightning. This was the supreme secret of swordsmanship.
