Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said, "No, you haven't personally experienced that kind of thing, so you don't understand how I feel. You're a young lady from the boudoir. You've been educated on etiquette and etiquette. You underestimated how open, outgoing, and fickle Jianghu women can be. Moreover, if you knew what would happen in the future, you wouldn't sympathize with her anymore. It was only now that I realized that environment and experience had such a deep influence on a person's character! It was as if Xue 'er had turned into a completely different person. She used to be so gentle … like a little white cat sunbathing on the steps of the courtyard. But now, she actually knew how to argue with me and shout at me. Because she felt that my title as the Wulin Alliance Head was just an empty title, and I couldn't give her everything she wanted. If she followed me, she was doomed to have no future, and she absolutely wouldn't be willing to live a hard life. Under these circumstances, she could only climb up the social ladder. Therefore, she took advantage of one of the emperor's excursions to dress up gorgeously, intentionally selling her body to seduce him … … Yes, she did get a night of pleasure, but the love of an emperor had always been extensive and unreliable. If he wanted to take a woman as his concubine, it wasn't enough just because of her beauty, but also because of her background and whether or not she could help stabilize his rule. Forming cliques, that's all. My Shimei was just a commoner, so she naturally didn't have this opportunity. But she was still unwilling, and in the end, she put 'Hehuan Powder' in one of the heir's food. In order to gain status, she was willing to give herself to him … That heir was worried about making a big deal out of it and affecting his future, so he had no choice but to marry her. Xueer relied on the fact that she had a handle on him and acted unscrupulously. She repeatedly abused her power in the residence … "
Xia Sheng Xun coldly snorted and said, "Only now do I know how ugly the so-called human nature can be."
Li Yijie said, "You also think that she went too far? Cough, it's not over yet. I knew that if she continued like this, what awaited her would only be the abyss. Seeing that we were martial siblings … No, those were all excuses. I still loved her, and I didn't want to see her walk towards her destined destruction. Therefore, I paid a visit to her residence and explained the pros and cons to her, telling her not to be stubborn. If she turned back now, there was still a chance. But she … how could she listen to me? Right now, she is the great fortune of the estate. Everyone has to give her some face, so why would she put me in her eyes?
At that moment, she was no longer Xueer. Not only was she not grateful for my reminder and did not reflect on her actions, she even scolded me for cursing her maliciously. He summoned a group of servants and chased me out. The stick hit me, but I didn't feel any pain. The pain wasn't external, but internal. My heart ached so much that it was dripping blood. I was covered in wounds, but I couldn't bring her back to her senses. Instead, I only made her more arrogant. Even when I was beaten to a pulp and dragged out by a few servants, I was still reminding her, 'You will regret this!' But she … after all, she didn't listen.
Tragedies often came unexpectedly. In the past, because of An Yesun's incident, the Seven Demons couldn't take it anymore and took out his anger on others. He insisted that others forced him to kill his own brother. He hated me, and because of me, he also hated Xueer. He always wanted to take revenge on us. In the past, when Xueer and I were together, he was still a little afraid. But when we parted ways, he … used a vicious method to threaten that family. That heir was timid and had long wanted to get rid of this burden. He took the opportunity to hand Xueer over to him.
Who would be able to get away with it after falling into the hands of the Seven Demons? Moreover, he hated Xue 'er a lot. In the end, Junior Martial Sister died … so tragically that I couldn't bear to see it. Although this can be considered as her reaping what she sowed, I still cannot forget my feelings for Xue 'er. If there was any way for me to save her and redeem everything, I was willing to spare no effort to do it. I loved her, even if it meant sacrificing myself … but everything was irreversible. The only thing I could do now was to practice martial arts with all my might. In the future, I would kill the Seven Demons and avenge her. To be honest, what was the use of that? Revenge breeds revenge, when will it ever end? What was lost could never be found again. Life is indeed the most tenacious and fragile thing in the world.
When I first saw you, I thought you were Xueer coming back to life. You don't know how happy I was! I didn't want to believe it, or rather, I couldn't accept it. Subconsciously, I rejected it. You were actually another girl … who only looked like her. Later, Yuan Gongzi persuaded me for a long time. Only then was I barely able to untie this knot in my heart and face you calmly. However, there's always something about you that makes me feel warm. I was willing to get along with you, not because I was looking for her shadow, and definitely not because I wanted to use you to heal my wounds. I just felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you. I wanted to be friends with you. I hoped that I could tell you everything that was on my mind.
You know that the Wulin Alliance Head can't show weakness in front of others. But the Wulin Alliance Head also has wounds. I think that the heavens made you look so similar to Xueer. Perhaps this was fate. They intentionally sent you to my side to make up for Xueer's wrongdoings. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but are you willing to be my listener? " As she spoke, a few large beads of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. She held her forehead with her hand and buried her head in it. She looked very much like a grieving person who had lost her lover.
Xia Sheng followed her gaze and suddenly sneered in a low voice. He lightly clapped his hands and said, "Well said. Truly amazing. I've heard with my own ears how a person can be completely devoid of conscience. Towards a girl who once loved him, how could you slander her character and dignity with your mouth? Could it be that your mouth is blacker than ink? Can you invert right and wrong and confuse right and wrong? In the past, I was blind and misjudged you. Since in your eyes, she's already dead, and in such an unbearable way, then there's no need to continue this act. You're right. I am the Junior Martial Sister Nangong Xue you spoke of. Now, do you have the guts to repeat everything you just said in front of me? "
Li Yijie was not flustered at all. Instead, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. She said, "Xueer, you … you're finally willing to admit it?" Nangong Xue's anger still hadn't subsided. She said, "That's right. I, Heroine Nangong, will never change my name! Besides, I'm not the one who did something wrong. Why wouldn't I dare to admit it? "
Li Yijie was so happy that she couldn't speak coherently. Only after a while did she remember to explain, "I'm sorry, Xueer. I didn't mean to slander you. But if I didn't say that, how could I provoke you into admitting your identity? "
This was one of the 'clever tricks' Xuan Shuang had taught him. First, he would describe the two's past. Then, when she relaxed her guard, he would change a few key points. The more outrageous the story, the better. This way, she would be so angry that in the end she wouldn't be able to restrain herself and would reveal everything. Li Yijie saw the effect in front of his eyes. He was really grateful to Xuan Shuang. Even his previous disobedience and disrespect toward him had become a clever and adorable act.
Nangong Xue was one step behind in this game of chess. At first, when she heard him recount the past, she thought he was playing the 'emotional card' on purpose. She thought he was trying to make her remember the good old days, so that her heart would soften and she would take the initiative to admit defeat. The few sweet words he mixed in were just to coax her. He purposely made it sound good. She had already made up her mind that no matter what he said, she would never soften her heart.
But she didn't expect that he would be able to ruin her to this extent. Listening to the woman he talked about, she was a slut who made people want to rush forward and slap her several times. She really couldn't bear it anymore, so she tried to make things difficult for him. But she didn't expect that Li Yijie would take advantage of her. At the same time, her heart was ice-cold. She didn't expect that in order to force her to do this, he would use such a despicable method. What kind of person did he think she was? It was hard for him to fake a few tears just to put on this show.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned her head and coldly said, "So what if you forced me to admit it? In any case, I will never go back with you. Since I can't enter your world, then I'll tactfully withdraw. At least I can have some peace and quiet. Just pretend that you've never known me before. "
Li Yijie anxiously said, "The core of my world is you. How can you say you can't enter it? I … "Nangong Xue said," So what? I'm not something you can summon and send away as you please. From the moment you abandoned me like a pair of worn-out shoes, the relationship between you and me has already been severed. "
Li Yijie anxiously said, "No, I tried my best to acknowledge you. I definitely didn't want to ruin your marriage with Yuan gongzi. I just wanted to see my shimei obtain happiness, even if it wasn't given by me. When the time comes, I will invite friends and relatives to come and celebrate … "
Nangong Xue coldly said, "Celebrate what? Celebrate that you, the shimei that no one wants, is finally getting married? There's no need for that! Whether I live well or not in the future, you don't have to worry about it. If you still have the slightest bit of understanding for me, then don't torture me in the name of kindness. I don't need your protection, and I also don't accept it. I'd rather be killed by the Seven Malevolent Demons than hide behind your back and be a helpless and pitiful little girl. "
Li Yijie's mind was buzzing. His words had completely deviated from his original plan. He said, "Aren't you wronging me by saying this? Listen to my explanation. When I chased you away, I did say a lot of extreme things. Please forgive me. My intention was to save you … "
Nangong Xue coldly said, "That's right! The Wulin Alliance Leader naturally has his reasons for doing things. And he's always right. Even if he wants to break up with a girl, he can still explain it in such a dignified manner! I really admire you, Alliance Leader Li. "
Li Yijie's heart ached. He recklessly rushed forward and held her shoulders with both hands. He shook her violently and bitterly said, "Must you do this? Must you treat me like this? Won't you even leave me with the slightest bit of affection? "
Nangong Xue said, "What are you talking about? You're the greatest Wulin Alliance Leader. Small people like us, ants in the countryside, have the fortune of three lifetimes to see you. We don't even have enough time to cheer and worship you. How could we dare to fight with you? You've overestimated my status. If I didn't do this, what would you have asked me to do? Kneel on the ground and lick your heels? "
Li Yijie's heart had long been torn into pieces. He said, "Just like how we used to be. It's like we were still playing with swords on Mount Hua. We've never set foot in this Wulin world! You're still my most beloved little sister. Is … is that okay? "By the time he said the last sentence, each word was filled with blood and tears.
Nangong Xue was not moved at all. She spread her arms and deftly escaped from his grasp. She turned around and coldly said, "The past is the past. I've already made an engagement with someone else. I ask Alliance Leader Li to have some self-respect. They all say that you shouldn't bully your friend's wife. Haven't you always prided yourself on the code of brotherhood? What, while your brother isn't here, you're teasing his future wife like this? "
Li Yijie anxiously said, "I don't want self-respect, and I don't want any code of brotherhood! As soon as I saw you — — as soon as I saw you like this, I … my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. My self-respect, my reason, everything is gone! Fighting with me and torturing me is one thing, but hurting yourself at the same time, I can't bear to see that! I don't want you to suffer because of me! Do you understand? "
