Nangong Xue sighed, "So you also know that you're weird. But since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things have their own quirks. You don't need to isolate yourself from the crowd. "An Yesun sneered," That's strange! I've always been the one who looks down on others and doesn't want to make friends. When have I ever felt ashamed of myself because of being ignored by others? You should put away your excessive kindness as soon as possible. "
Nangong Xue glared at him and said angrily, "Did you mean what you said downstairs just now? If I'm just a burden in your eyes, you can be honest with me. I don't mind. Let's go our separate ways right now! I'm not that despicable, and I won't cling to you. Anyway, we've already escaped from the palace. I know the way back to Mount Hua. You don't have to endure the humiliation and keep me company! "
An Yesun's eyes dimmed for a moment. He sneered, "Left the palace? Can I sit back and relax from now on? You're quite honest. You don't even try to hide it. Are you using me? Very well, you see, this is my fate. I was born to be played. "
Nangong Xue was both angry and amused. She said, "Do you have to be so extreme? I … you know I didn't mean it that way! I've always believed that people should treat each other with sincerity. If you treat others well, they will naturally treat you well. It's like returning a plum for a peach. Although there are many treacherous people who bite the hand that feeds them, if you know what kind of person they are, you can just ignore them. It's just that I can't figure out your impression of me. Sometimes you seem to take care of me, but sometimes you seem to hate me and want me to disappear from your sight. Tell me, what do you think I am? "
An Yesun muttered to himself, "People I don't like can't live for more than a moment in my eyes, let alone get within three feet of me." He said it very softly, but Nangong Xue heard it clearly. Of course, he was admitting that he didn't hate her. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. She then cursed in her heart, Nangong Xue, you really are useless. An Yesun isn't a big shot, but he just hinted that he doesn't hate you, and you're so happy. How are you different from those cowards who cling to others for survival? "
She scolded herself, but she couldn't help but smile.
An Yesun frowned, "Hey, what are you smiling about?" Nangong Xue was in a good mood. She smiled, she said, "Don't call me hey, I have a name, I have a name......." An Yesun said said, "Who has the patience to remember your name?? Nangong Xue snorted, "Listen carefully, my name is Nangong Xue. It's very rude to not remember a girl's name!"
An Yesun said, "I've never been polite to anyone." Then he said, "Why are you saying this? Don't you only have Li Yijie in your heart? "
Nangong Xue waved her hand and laughed, "You think too much! At least I still know what is love and what is friendship. You don't have to worry about me falling for you. "An Yesun said indifferently," Whatever. "
Nangong Xue became bolder. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and slowly walked in front of him. While thinking, she said, "When you helped Menglin escape from the marriage, she took the Afterimage Sword with her. This sword is very precious. She must have viewed it as more important than her life. She wouldn't let it leave her side for even a moment. Now, a girl around her age has appeared, carrying a sword and going around assassinating people. Tell me, how can I not think of her? Actually, you think so too, but you don't dare to admit it, right? Because you're too afraid of being disappointed, you'd rather not have any hope in the beginning. "
An Yesun said coldly, "When will you change this habit of thinking that you're smart?" Then he lowered his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "That masked girl is an assassin sent by the Sacrifice Shadow Sect. That means that Jiang Liechen really did get the Afterimage Sword back. He really did kill Menglin … Shen Shiyun didn't lie, but I … I'd rather it all be fake … Could she be Menglin's substitute? Jiang Liechen couldn't get Menglin, so he found someone to pretend to be him. He deceived himself and lived in an illusory satisfaction … How laughable! "
Nangong Xue didn't understand what he was saying, but she felt a little apologetic when she saw that her words had made him so depressed. She changed the topic and said, "Tonight … Oh, we don't have anything to do with each other, and we can't sleep on the same bed. How about I sleep on the floor, and you sleep on the big bed? "An Yesun said," Sure. "
Nangong Xue felt dizzy. Although there was a hint of sincerity in her words, she hoped that An Yesun would be polite and give in at the right time. But now, she couldn't back down. Biting her lips, she took off her bedding and spread it out on the floor to smooth out the wrinkles. Then she took a quilt and quietly complained, "You're so inconsiderate. How can you treat your female companion like this …"
An Yesun said, "What are you talking about?" Nangong Xue looked up and saw that he didn't look happy. She was secretly surprised that there was someone with such sensitive hearing. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that he must have been trained for years to distinguish the origin of concealed weapons by listening. She smiled bitterly and said, "I said, you're really considerate. You knew that I was used to sleeping on the stone floor when I was facing the wall, so you deliberately let me relive my old dream. You're really considerate. I'm very satisfied. But I originally thought that you would be like Shixiong and give up your bed to me. Now I'm just a little disappointed. "
An Yesun leaned back slightly against the table and sneered, "What's the point of putting on a brave front like this? I'm not your Shixiong, and I can't learn from him and pretend to take care of you. Why should I give my things to someone else for free? "
Nangong Xue hung her head and sighed. She was pretending to be generous, but An Yesun wasn't willing to give her a way out. She could only admit that she was unlucky. She spread out the quilt and curled up in it. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly heard An Yesun say, "Let me tell you, ever since I was very young, I've been training hard every day. I've rarely rested. It's normal for me not to sleep at night. I can't afford to waste any time. Otherwise, how do you think I've trained to my current level?"
Nangong Xue was filled with helplessness. She turned her head and lay on her back. In a low voice, she said, "You're really amazing. Let's not talk about the fact that I can't endure it. Even if I were as hardworking as you, I wouldn't be able to reach your level of martial arts." An Yesun said, "That's not the end of the story. Life is unpredictable. You won't reap what you sow. It will only lead you down the path and you won't reach your goal. It's just a beautiful illusion. "
Nangong Xue thought of Li Yijie and couldn't help but feel sad. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and soaked her pillow. Then, they flowed down her collar. She forced a smile and said, "That's not the case. If we talk about martial arts, I believe that there are geniuses in the world. But if he spends fifteen minutes, you spend ten days. Even if you can't surpass him, it won't be difficult for you to be on par with him. You should know that if you work hard enough, even an iron rod can become a needle. "
An Yesun said, "Is that what you think? It's hard to say whether that legend is true or not. Moreover, the person who grinds the rod only 'wants to become a needle'. No one knows what will happen in the end. "Nangong Xue said," Even if there's little hope, it's still better than complete despair. In some ways, we're similar. We're both people who have a goal in mind and won't give up until we reach it. Tell me, am I an idiot or am I stupid? "
An Yesun sighed almost inaudibly. He said, "You? You're very good. If other people heard about me, they'd definitely say a few words of concern. They'd say something about not resting enough and it's not good for the body. Do you think I'd care about that? What a joke. I don't need people to pretend that they're doing it for my own good. " Nangong Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "If that's the case, then it's really for your own good. It's just that you don't want to accept it. I've learned my lesson now. Even if I say something, you won't listen to me. Why should I make trouble for myself? "
An Yesun snorted coldly. He said, "If you were really that sensible, you wouldn't be here right now." Nangong Xue was stunned. She tried to figure out what he meant. Her mind suddenly understood that he was implying that she should obediently become Lu Qian's wife. She pouted and said, "I deeply understand you, but you're still mocking and ridiculing me. That's a little …" Halfway through, she remembered that he agreed that there was no fairness in the world and promptly stopped talking.
An Yesun laughed. "Alright, you're smart." He paused for a long time before saying, "Rest early. There's still a tough battle to fight in the middle of the night. You'll have to deal with those who challenge you. I won't be kind enough to take care of you. Remember that. "
Nangong Xue suddenly felt excited. She lifted the blanket and sat up. Her eyes were shining with excitement. She said, "You thought of it too, didn't you? There must be something wrong with that group of merchants! It's true that great minds think alike! "
An Yesun said, "That's right. Isn't it obvious? I didn't say that they can't do business, but they booked an inn in this remote town and sent a large number of people to and fro. What kind of business is that? I was wondering which group of people they were in disguise. Whether or not the innkeeper was an accomplice is still unknown. "Nangong Xue said," I don't think it's very likely. That shopkeeper looks like an honest person, a profiteer who only knows how to take advantage of small gains. If he really had the heart to harm others, I don't think he would dare to. Otherwise, this little store would have closed down long ago. "
An Yesun said, "You're too inexperienced. This Jianghu is treacherous and unpredictable. It's not something you can figure out just by 'looking'. I can't let my guard down when dealing with anyone. This has always been my style. "Nangong Xue sighed." Alright, you're right. I also bet that they'll make their move tonight. Think about it, they booked the entire inn but left out a guest room. Isn't that strange? Businessmen are more sophisticated than anyone else. That black-hearted innkeeper wants to take advantage of this loophole. How could it be that easy? Why don't we stop sleeping and discuss our strategy first? It's better to be safe than sorry. "
An Yesun disdainfully said, "Speaking of Jianghu experience, I'm much more experienced than you. It's not your place to remind me. It's not like we can't beat them. What's the point of discussing strategy? What's there to discuss? You'd better go to sleep first. Once you've rested enough, you can play with this group of little rats. "
Nangong Xue had learned this habit from Li Yijie. He was a meticulous strategist who always thought of everything and made sure to include all possible changes in his plans. He wanted to be prepared just in case. Now that he saw An Yesun looking down on the enemy, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
But when he thought about how he was ambushed by the heroes of the righteous sects, how he escaped alone and even gained the upper hand and easily reversed the situation, he agreed that his self-confidence was not completely without confidence. It was just that she had never thought that the affairs of the world were impermanent, that one day she would stand on the same side as him. Silently she lay back down on the bed, thinking, "By doing this, does it mean that I have deviated from the right path?" Closing her eyes, she tried to clear her mind of all distracting thoughts, so that her mind was clear.
After lying down for half a day, not only did her heart not calm down, it actually beat faster and faster. Thinking about how she was in the same room as An Yesun, this kind of cruel devil, she was terrified. And thinking about all the sudden changes she had experienced in just a few days, each one of them made her physically and mentally exhausted. One face after another flashed in front of her eyes, like a blurry shadow. In the past she could not sleep because she was on the top of the cliff and there was no one around. Unconsciously she developed a habit of tossing and turning. This time she was afraid of angering An Yesun, so she did not even dare to breathe loudly.
After a long time, her head was a bit dizzy, but her mind was still very clear. She had no choice but to use the old method that had been passed down for a long time: she closed her eyes and counted sheep. She did not know how many thousands of sheep she counted, but finally she felt a bit sleepy. In her empty mind, other than the shining white sheep, there were also some messy images.
