Yuan Yi said, "Oh, so it's a good guy beating up a bad guy. You're a good guy, yet you couldn't beat him. You're a disgrace to us loyal and righteous heroes. "Nangong Xue sneered," Go away! You're a hero, why couldn't you beat him? Why did you have to drag me along and run away? Can't you show your true colors as a loyal and righteous hero? "
Yuan Yi said, "If I was alone, I could've fought him for three hundred rounds. But at that time, I had a burden like you, so I couldn't harm you! "Then he put on a serious face and sighed, saying," I'm not blindly complacent. That person is indeed very strong. Thinking about my white hair and white eyebrows … "Nangong Xue anxiously said," Don't think about your white eyebrows and white beard! I know you're an old man, an old man who can't be any older, okay? What's going on? "
Yuan Yi said, "Usually, when I meet an opponent, I can roughly sense their strength. Then I plan how much strength I should use to deal with him, so that I don't accidentally kill him. But after exchanging two blows with him, I can't figure out his strength at all. I can only say that his strength is unfathomable. When the wind from his palm passed through my body, I couldn't even control the stuff stuck to my face, and it flew off to who knows where. If I'm like this, then there's no need to mention the others. "
Then he shook his head and sighed, looking very depressed, saying, "I've been traveling all over the world for the chance to compete with the Seven Evil Spirits when I return to the Central Plains. When I finally felt that I've made some progress, I was just about to find him for a duel. Who would've thought that I'd meet such a strong opponent first? Isn't he deliberately trying to hurt my confidence? Ai, looks like my cultivation isn't good enough. I'll have to find a secluded place and train for another year or so. There are so many experts in the Central Plains. It looks like I won't dare to stay in the Yuan Family Village and be a frog at the bottom of a well. "
Nangong Xue frowned, saying, "What are you talking about? The person you called an 'expert' just now is Jiang Liechen, one of the Seven Evil Spirits! "
Yuan Yi's body trembled. "Really?" However, this excited look only lasted for an instant before it immediately withered away. His two eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he seemed extremely dejected. Nangong Xue said, "Why are you so afraid of him?"
Yuan Yi said, "Afraid of him? Ai, I'm not afraid, I'm just regretful! Just now, in order to save you, I was too anxious and didn't even see what he looked like! " Last time he had a martial arts duel with Jiang Liechen in a ruined temple on a barren mountain, they were separated by a stone pillar, so they could not see each other. They could only test each other with their martial arts skills, and both were somewhat afraid of each other. As for Yuan Yi, he knew that he was no match for the enemy, so he trained hard in martial arts and set Jiang Liechen as his goal.
Nangong Xue was speechless. Just now, when Yuan Yi appeared to save her, she acted like a hero. But in the blink of an eye, she was like a child who had her favorite toy taken away, crying and throwing a tantrum. She said, "Why do you want to see him? Appearance is only natural, it has nothing to do with character. Some people think he's good-looking, while others think he's the ugliest demon in the world. It's not like a little girl chooses … chooses her husband, who cares what he looks like? "
Yuan Yi said, "It's not that! I'm not so vulgar as to judge people by their appearance. It's just that I don't even know what the famous Seven Evil Spirits look like, don't you think I'm too ignorant? Ai, in order to save you, I lost such a good opportunity. It's fine if you don't comfort me, but why are you making sarcastic remarks? "
Nangong Xue smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, alright. Anyway, he's so famous, we'll have plenty of chances to see him in the future. There's no need to rush this time." Yuan Yi thought about it from left to right and agreed. She said, "Alright, next time you see him, you have to point him out to me. That's right, Miss Nangong, I haven't asked you yet. What happened between you and Alliance Master Li? Why are you alone in this barren mountain? "
Nangong Xue snorted and said, "You're finally asking me? Hmph, at least you have some conscience! Last time at Hetuala, not long after you left, Senior Martial Brother and I took the Death Seeking Chop and returned with the rest of the group. We planned to go to the palace to ask Shen Shiyun for the antidote. On the way, we met the Seven Evils Demon and he asked us to hand over the Death Seeking Chop … "
Yuan Yi exclaimed again, "I just left not long ago, and you met him again? There was only a short distance between you two? " Actually, there was a difference of a few days, but Nangong Xue saw that Yuan Yi was looking at her seriously and wanted to make a joke, so she nodded with a sincere face.
When Yuan Yi heard this, she really wanted to bang her head against the wall and die. She felt sorry for them for a long time before she listened to Nangong Xue's story. She told her about how Li Yijie had chased her away and the reason for it. Yuan Yi finally asked, "Then why did you stay in the mountains and dress like this?"
Nangong Xue said, "After I left Senior Martial Brother in a fit of anger, I felt disheartened, as if there was no place for me in this vast world. I traveled back and forth alone, only thinking of going to the most remote place, to a place where he would never find me, and to disappear from his life. When I was punished to face the wall for life at the Cliff of Reflection, I escaped halfway. Although I was forced, but … Master had already said in front of everyone that he did not want to recognize me as his disciple. Then Huashan Sect … could never return. I was alone and had no one to rely on. I suffered a lot before I finally arrived at Chaozhou. One day, I went to a small temple to burn incense and wanted to ask the Bodhisattva, what did I do wrong? Why did the heavens arrange such a difficult life for me? That day, the abbot's teachings enlightened me and gave me the idea of becoming a monk. I came to Shuiyue Nunnery alone and wanted to ask the abbess to shave my head and become a monk. But at that moment, my eyes started to redden. The abbess was someone who had been through this before, so she understood my difficulties. She said that I was not yet finished with the mortal world, so it was not suitable for me to shave my head for the time being. However, she allowed me to cultivate with my hair on. During this time, I could consider properly and leave whenever I wanted to. Alas, what else was there to consider? The only place that could take me in was Shuiyue Nunnery. Otherwise, where else could I go? I ate vegetarian and recited Buddhist scriptures every day, purifying my heart and reducing my desires. I had already thought through everything and seen through everything. Actually, such a simple life is also very good, isn't it? I really want to stay away from all the grudges and vengeance in Jianghu and live a peaceful life like this for the rest of my life. "
Yuan Yi said, "You didn't think it through at all. Instead, you fell deeper and deeper. Brother Li's worries are reasonable. You running out like this is indeed a bit too willful. But you never let him know that you're safe. Do you want him to be anxious to death, or do you want him to lose his appetite every day and search for you from all over the world until he finally collapses? "
Hearing him hit the nail on the head, Nangong Xue smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Yuan, you're exaggerating. I don't have that kind of weight in his heart. It's better to deal with the pain quickly than to prolong it. Maybe he won't be able to adapt for a while, but when he wakes up, he'll understand that there's no one in this world who can't live without someone. This kind of ending is the best for me and for him. "
Yuan Yi said, "Why be so pessimistic? Maybe there'll be a turning point in the middle? When we first met in the royal mausoleum, I felt that Brother Li treated you very well and cared about you a lot. Why don't I go find him and we can talk things out together? It'll be better than a misunderstanding and regret for the rest of your life. "
Nangong Xue said anxiously, "No … no! He only loves Shen Shiyun! I understand that kind of feeling. A person's heart is really very small. When it's filled to the brim with one person, it won't be able to hold anything else. Now … how can there be a place for me? I'm his Shimei and can only be his Shimei forever! His care for me is only the care of an older brother for his younger sister. Since that's the case, why don't I stay far away from him and relieve him of his worries? It'll also help him and Shen Shiyun be in love! "
Yuan Yi said, "You haven't tried yet, how would you know?" Nangong Xue said, "There are many things that you already know the result of, so there's no need to make unnecessary moves. It's better to let go early so that everyone's face will look better in the future. It wasn't easy for me to make up my mind, so don't try to sway me! Even if I find him, I can't go back with him and continue to live an awkward life between the three of us. It'll only cause more trouble. "
Yuan Yi said, "If your determination is as firm as you think it is, how can you be swayed by a few words from me? Besides, have you ever seen a Shimei become a monk in despair just because her Shimei has another lover? If they can't be husband and wife, don't tell me you're not even willing to be friends with him? "Nangong Xue said with tears in her eyes," Why do you have to force me? I don't know … I really don't know! But at least I can force myself to completely withdraw from his life. I don't want you to interfere in it. "
Yuan Yi said, "Okay, of course I won't say it. But can you be sure that you don't want to? What's the difference between reluctantly giving up and reluctantly persevering? You just said that he … said that the Seven Evil Spirits don't dare to face their true selves. But let me ask you, have you ever faced your true desires? "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "I don't want to say it. But … you saved my life, but I'm actually not grateful at all. Because I don't want to live anymore. If I lose my Shixiong, my life will forever be a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple … but I still want to thank you, just to maintain the most basic etiquette. "
Yuan Yi frowned and said, "Other than making love, aren't there more things worth living for you to do? Why do you have to hang yourself … "
Nangong Xue said softly, "You won't understand. Let's not talk about how you've never loved a girl before. If you entrust all your feelings to her without holding anything back, maybe one day you'll understand a little bit. But you men are different from women. The most important thing in your heart is always the country's affairs. Beauties are nothing more than something to relieve your boredom after a meal. In the eyes of the world, a man should be able to control the country by himself. At home, he should sit comfortably on an armchair, with a group of wives and concubines behind him. One fanning him, another pouring him tea, and another massaging his legs. That's what a real hero should look like. And there are a few people who are focused on the same thing, and view their lovers as more important than their country's foundation. Whether it's the Emperor or an ordinary man, they're all labeled as' passionate '. Who would've thought that when others talk about him behind his back, at most they sigh, lamenting that he's putting the cart before the horse, and that he's a good-for-nothing … "
An Yesun vaguely appeared in her mind again. He had always loved Chu Menglin, and would never change even in death. No matter how great his reputation was outside, in the end, he was still ruined by a woman. The only thing he lost to was the word 'love'. Even if Jiang Liechen and the rest of the world felt that it was not worth it, only she truly sympathized with him and understood him. If the person he loved so deeply was her, would she have disregarded everything and followed him?
Thinking about it again, since ancient times, there have been countless examples of beauties ruining the country with a single smile. Looking at it from this point of view, those who were able to achieve great things were all heroes and ambitious men. Love was a big lifeline that should never be touched.
