Li Yijie stepped forward and said, "From the first time I saw you, no, I should say, the first time I saw you as Xia Sheng Xun, I told you that it was a feeling. From your eyes, I can see disappointment and sorrow. Please look into my eyes and tell me, are you marrying Young Master Yuan of your own free will? Is it because you love him? But how long have you known him? Why did you set the wedding date in such a hurry? If I can hear your true thoughts, I will leave and never bother you again. "
Nangong Xue slowly turned her head. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but when she saw his sympathetic gaze, a flame of anger rose in her heart. She made up her mind and looked straight into his eyes, saying, "Yes, I love him. That's why I want to marry him. He loves me a hundred times more than you, dotes on me a thousand times more than you, and understands me ten thousand times more than you. He treats me well, so I will treat him well. If I don't marry such a man, why should I embarrass myself by marrying you, Wulin's Alliance Head? I said before, I don't want a man who stands at the top. I only want a man who cares about me and cares about me. No matter how ordinary he is, I will marry him. I'm too tired. I don't want to immerse myself in an illusory world anymore. I'm waiting for you to look back at me one day and be overjoyed. I want to let go. Can't I? Go ahead and spend your time with your people! "
Li Yijie felt as if he had been hit by a stick. At the same time, an unprecedented pain invaded his entire body. He could clearly hear the sound of his heart shattering. His face twitched with pain, but he finally responded, "Yes, if he really treats you well, I won't force you. As your Senior Martial Brother, I … wish you happiness. It has always been my wish to find a good husband for you. Now that you can be the daughter-in-law of one of the four great clans, you can be assured that you will have no worries in the future. Unfortunately … when you were by my side, I never knew how to cherish you, until … until … "
Nangong Xue looked at him in pain. Her face showed the joy of revenge, and she said aggressively, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Why don't you think about how you treated me in the past? You have no reason to be suspicious and unreasonable. Now that you are in pain, why don't you consider how much pain I had to endure in the past? "
Li Yijie argued, "You can't just blame me for this. You … You and An Yesun … I don't want to interfere with your freedom, but because I'm your Senior Brother, I have the right to dissuade you from going astray! If it were any other woman, I wouldn't … "
Nangong Xue's eyes were blazing. "An Yesun? You still dare to mention him? In my eyes, he is more responsible than you! For the past twenty years, he had been able to love Miss Chu and spend his entire life with her, never abandoning her. All his purpose in life was to protect her happiness, even if he had to be lonely for the rest of his life! He was indeed worthy of being called a Casanova. How could I be involved in such deep feelings? Your worries are complete nonsense! I only admire him, sympathize with him, and wish to be by his side, be his friend, and share some of his troubles. There were many feelings that people who had never experienced would never understand. They would only use earth-shattering condemnation to attack a certain aspect of him! For example, how the world treats him, and how you treat me. If you have the time to be jealous for no reason, you might as well learn from others. Yes, it's not just in your story. The truth is that I am very grateful to him, and I like him very much. However, this has nothing to do with love, it's just some ordinary feelings between us! "
Although it had been a long time, when Li Yijie heard Nangong Xue speak up for An Yesun so openly, he couldn't help but be furious. "What responsibility does he have? Love shouldn't be the most important thing in life. For the sake of Chu Menglin, who has already passed away, he didn't want to find out the truth and blindly believed in rumors. He overestimated himself and challenged someone who was far stronger than him! He entrusted his limited life to a made-up reason and a woman who didn't love him. He doesn't know how many great things he could have done in this world! Being passive and avoiding the world is the behavior of a coward! "
Nangong Xue didn't back down and said, "What did he delay this time? Long before we left Mount Hua, we were still two frogs at the bottom of a well. At that time, he was about the same age as us. However, the name of the Cruel Fiend Star has already spread far and wide in Jianghu. Who doesn't know him? He's much better than you, the 'Eldest Disciple of Mount Hua who has never been troubled by love, actively entered the world, and is full of righteousness', right? "
Li Yijie said impatiently, "But you can't deny how many people he has killed. His reputation is built on the accumulation of countless people's lives. The name 'Cruel Fiend Star' is a sin that is stained with blood! "
Nangong Xue said, "So what if he has killed people? When we roam Jianghu, who hasn't killed people? Should we be praised and criticized just because the people who died were from the different paths of righteousness and evil? If he can kill people, at least it shows that he has real strength and not an undeserved reputation. To be honest, even the current you is still no match for him! Ask yourself, if you don't have the halo of the Wulin Alliance Leader around you, as if you are the embodiment of justice, how many people would have heard of your name? How much have you done for the Wulin Alliance? Humph, you and I both know that you are just using this identity to flatter Shen Shiyun and become a tool for her to use! Your actions are tantamount to trampling the dignity of the entire Wulin Alliance under your feet and shaking everyone's faith. How much better is the current you than him? He can be so deeply in love with a girl without asking for anything in return, which shows that he is not a cold-blooded and heartless devil. How many people in the righteous sects can have this kind of deep affection? He was raised by the Hierarch of the Devil Cult since he was a child. How could he disobey the orders of the Hierarch? Living under someone else's roof, even if he risked his life to disobey, he would just lose his life in vain. What good would that do? Moreover, he was poisoned by the Devil Cult since he was a child. The people of the Wulin Alliance never asked about his past crimes. Once they met, they would draw their swords and fight. If he didn't kill, he would be killed by others. How could he protect the most important person to him? Even after the extermination of the Devil Sect, he was nothing more than a pawn for you. I don't know who really dared to fight with the Seven Demons. I also don't know who was the one who hid his head like a turtle and watched the show. After the show, he came to falsely claim the credit. But I think he is arrogant and proud. Even if he is still alive, he won't come and fight with you for this credit. He never got the chance to turn over a new leaf. All of this was caused by you, the Wulin Alliance Leader, and you, the righteous sects! No matter what, I don't think he is wrong. Even if he is wrong, it is this twisted world that is wrong. If you think I can't distinguish right from wrong, that's right. I am just a girl with shallow knowledge. I don't have the qualifications to make you, the Wulin Alliance Leader, put aside important matters and waste time arguing with me. Let's all have a little talk. "
Li Yijie was blocked by her words. He couldn't argue, but he also couldn't take it. The most bitter thing was that she kept talking about his title as the Wulin Alliance Leader. To him, it was the most intense irony. He almost had the urge to cry out loud. He hissed, "Don't say anymore! Don't say anymore! If I had known earlier, I … I wouldn't have become the Wulin Alliance Leader at all! Maybe you won't hate me as much! Tomorrow, I … I will also establish a Devil Cult. I will also kill people and set fires. Then I will be forced into a corner and commit suicide. Maybe I can get some sympathy from you … "
Nangong Xue said, "Whether you want to be the Wulin Alliance Leader or not, you should tell those 'righteous sects'. Why are you yelling at me? You don't live to get some sympathy from me. Besides, if you really go down the wrong path, I won't have the slightest bit of sympathy. It's one thing to be forced to do something, but it's another thing if you're willing to degrade yourself like the Seven Demons. You're the one who gave up on the world, so don't blame others for letting you down. "
Seeing Li Yijie on the verge of collapse, she thought about how she had never said such harsh words to him since he was a child, and how Yuren had never provoked him like this. She couldn't bear it and said with a slightly gentler tone, "When people live in this world, they have to face many things that they don't want to face. It's the same for you, me, and everyone else. I can understand how you feel. "
Li Yijie suddenly saw a ray of light in the darkness. It was as if he had grasped onto hope. He hurriedly said, "Really? Xueer, I beg you, don't leave me. Don't look at how independent and strong I look. In reality, I'm just a weak child who can't grow up. I really can't live without you … "He couldn't help but cry again.
Nangong Xue's expression turned cold again. She said, "In this world, there's no one who can't live without another. If you have to rely on others all the time to barely keep yourself alive, then that's your own incompetence. No one has the obligation to take care of you. "
Li Yijie's eyes were still filled with tears. He said, "Xueer, good junior sister, I beg you. Can you forgive me just this once? Don't marry Young Master Yuan … "
Nangong Xue suddenly shook him off and retreated a few steps. She said, "I can forgive you, but that doesn't mean I have to be with you, right? I've already seen through everything, and I'm tired of all the disturbance. Right now, there are only two paths in front of me. First, I'll still follow the marriage agreement and marry Young Master Yuan. In that case, I'll only be your sister-in-law in the future. Second, I'll leave home and become a nun. In any case, I've stayed at Shui Yue Nunnery for several months and studied Buddhist scriptures. I feel that everything in the secular world is illusory, and I also have some thoughts of withdrawing from the secular world. Right now, I'll give you the right to choose. Tell me, do you want me to marry or not? "
When Li Yijie heard that she wanted to leave home and become a nun, he didn't dare to insist. He hurriedly said, "Yes! Of course I'll marry. I … "He gathered his last bit of courage and said," But why do you have to see me as an enemy and speak with such sarcasm? Can't we just be good friends? "
Nangong Xue coldly said, "Things have already come to this, how can we still be friends? You're just deceiving yourself. Moreover, I've always treated you as an ordinary person. You'll always remember that I'm just a girl you met by chance, Xia Shengxun. She's just a girl who looks a little like your junior sister. Not only will I fulfill your fantasy, but I'll also save us from being in a difficult situation. Isn't that good? You're the one who wanted to expose this, so who can you blame? There are some secrets in the world that people already know, but they still work together to protect. Because if the truth is exposed, it won't do anyone any good. Perhaps there's only a thin layer separating the truth from the truth, but there are some words that make a world of difference whether you listen to them or not! "
Li Yijie's heart was broken. He wanted to continue persuading her, but the door was suddenly pushed open. Lu Qian stood at the door with a smile. He said with a smile, "What's so lively in the residence today? So Alliance Master Li is also here. Come, Shengxun, let's go outside and bask in the sun. We'll let Alliance Master Li sit here for the time being. After all, he's a living person. He won't disappear into thin air, right? "
