Xuan Shuang narrowed his eyes as if he was sizing up an illusory figure that didn't exist. When she was in front of him, he was finally sure that it was Nangong Xue. However, the pity on her face was like a thorn that pierced deeply into his heart.
Letting out a cold snort, he folded his arms, still pretending to be the Vice Cult Leader, as unruly as he was during the day. He said, "Since you're willing to come here as promised, it means that my guess is correct. You dare to play tricks under the noses of the Seven Evil Spirits and come undercover to my Blood Fiend Sect. You've got guts! Stop looking at me like I'm an unfortunate orphan. I feel disgusted just by looking at you! I, Ling Shuangjin, am the Blood Fiend Young Master that everyone fears. I don't need anyone's fake pity and sympathy! "
Nangong Xue heard his angry words and knew that he had always pretended to be strong, but it was just a shield to protect himself. She smiled bitterly and said, "Enough. You tried so hard to invite me here. Did you come here just to scold me? Like the Seven Fiend Demons, feared and hated by everyone. Is that what you want? I don't think you're that kind of person … "
Xuan Shuang said angrily, "Enough! Shut up! You don't understand me at all! … No one can understand me. I can be a synonym for anything but myself. "When he said the first sentence, his voice was still stern, but when he said the second sentence, it was filled with sorrow.
Nangong Xue, on the other hand, was even more aware of his hidden weakness. She sighed and said, "You complain that others don't understand you because you've closed the door to your heart and don't want others to understand you … Forget it. Since you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. I hope you won't be affected by it. I just want to know, how did you know the meaning of the few sword moves that Senior Brother and I randomly created when we were young? When did you find out my true identity? Where did I expose myself? "
Xuan Shuang felt slightly better when he heard her change the topic. He said, "There's nothing special about that. I'm a genius! What can be hidden from me? In the past, I only had my suspicions. Those moves were deliberately mystifying, they were all used to test you. Speaking of which, it was only a moment ago that I was certain of my guess. As for the flaws, your name might be one of them. More than a year ago, Li Yijie kept talking about a girl named 'Xia Shengxun' to me. I've heard it so many times that my ears are about to grow calluses. Thus, when I heard the name 'Xia Shengxun', I immediately felt a sense of familiarity. After that, you were too outstanding, so I had no choice but to pay extra attention to you. As for what flaws you have, I can't say for sure. Perhaps it's because it's difficult for a person to completely become another person, so there will always be something unique to them. It was like the brilliance of real gold. It would not diminish even if it was buried in the mud and rubble. Your righteous aura is not suitable for living in the Devil Sect, and it does not belong to any lazy aristocratic family's son. "
Nangong Xue sighed and said, "Fine, I admit to everything you said. It's just that I was born this way. When I see injustice, I can't pretend that I don't see it. You didn't invite me here just to remind me of such a small matter, right? But have you ever thought about the fact that the two of us aren't sleeping in the middle of the night and are wandering around outside? If the patrolling disciples saw us, how could we explain ourselves? Wouldn't that be even more suspicious? "
Nangong Xue coldly snorted and said, "What are you afraid of? You also know that it's the middle of the night. Don't tell me the others aren't sleeping either? Those trash patrolling disciples, if there's laziness to steal, how could they let it slip by? I don't know where they're hiding, sleeping like dead pigs. Even if we're unlucky and meet someone diligent, I'm a dignified Vice Hierarch. Apart from my master, the rules of the sect are set by me, and I'm in charge of everyone. Do they have the right to ask where I like to go? As for you — — just say that I brought you to the martial arts field to patrol in case any righteous sect thieves break in, wouldn't that be enough? If they were safe and sound, they wouldn't even be happy. Who has the guts to find trouble with the Right Protector? "
Nangong Xue thought about it and felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the two of them meeting here in the middle of the night was an extremely disgraceful thing. She hesitated and said, "But, this …"
The words' will this work? 'were still stuck in her throat when the Xuan Shuang impatiently waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Otherwise, are you going to say that you're interested in me? Our time is limited. You're going to waste it on these senseless questions, aren't you? That's fine. Why don't I just stand here and chat with you? Do you think we should admire the moon in the courtyard, or recite poems? Hmm? "
Nangong Xue laughed bitterly and said, "I … I'm sorry. Then tell me, why are you looking for me? "Who would have thought that when they finally got to the main topic, the Xuan Shuang wouldn't answer the question and said," What do you think? Isn't it more appropriate to ask you? Aren't you a famous heroine from a righteous sect? Aren't you the famous and elegant wife of the Alliance Master? Why did you come to our den of thieves and degrade yourself? Isn't that a waste of your superior status? "
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "I was entrusted by Manor Head Ping. If I don't agree to his request, he will harm Senior Martial Brother. "She recounted all the changes in the Ping Family Manor to the Xuan Shuang in detail. When the Xuan Shuang heard this, he coldly snorted and said, "There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Furthermore, don't think that this is a place where you can throw your weight around. Everyone in the Fiend Blood Sect isn't stupid. They won't be unable to see through your disguise forever. When that time comes, what will you do? "
Nangong Xue said anxiously, "No! I have to complete Manor Head Ping's task. Perhaps … I've been in the limelight too much these past few days. From now on, I'll try my best to be cautious with my words and actions. "
The Xuan Shuang coldly snorted and said, "What's the use of being cautious? Wait for someone to use words to trick you, give you a few ambiguous testimonies, pretend to have a general understanding of you, and then use words to get close to you. Shouldn't you tell me everything then? At first, I was just testing you. How can you trust me so much? Just because I gave you a hint, you really came to meet me? How can there be such a stupid woman in this world? If I can do it, others can do it too. You have to treat everyone around you as an enemy, including me! You can never truly open your heart. Otherwise, others will take advantage of your exposed weakness and turn against you. You might be on guard in front and behind, taking care of everything. However, the knife to the heart is usually stabbed by the person closest to you! "
Nangong Xue said softly, "But you're different from them. I'm willing to trust you. I also hope that you can shoulder my trust." This invisible pressure was more effective than any threat.
The Xuan Shuang suddenly became irritated and said, "Nonsense! How do you know that I have good intentions towards you? I can't shoulder your trust! How am I different from them? Is it just because we're old acquaintances? Don't you know that it's this relationship that's worth making a fuss about? Furthermore, I'm no longer the Aisin Gioro Xuan Shuang of the past. My name is Ling Shuangjin. I'm the famous Blood Demon Young Master, the Vice Hierarch of the Demonic Sect, and a cold-blooded and merciless killer. Now, you're talking to me about your abandoned friendship. Isn't that laughable? That's right. You're too outstanding. This is your unchangeable nature! People aren't afraid of being outstanding. What they're afraid of is being followed by a group of jealous villains. They're not willing to work hard, so they're jealous of others. They'll secretly set up obstacles for you. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Are you sure you want to put yourself in danger and deal with them for a long time? "
A bleak smile appeared on the Nangong Xue's face and said, "I don't want to be a criminal. Since they insist on being my enemy, I can only accept their challenge. So, what's your suggestion to me? "
The Xuan Shuang said, "Naturally, it's to run away immediately. Run far away and never let them find you again. It's not good to stay in a dangerous place for long! You should understand that today's matter is only an omen and also a beginning. It wasn't easy to give them something to use against you. Do you think that group of idle people will let it go? Just in the next few days, it's hard to guarantee that someone will come to my master and gossip. When the truth is revealed, I'm afraid that even if you want to leave, you won't be able to! Do you understand that I'm helping you with good intentions? Are you going to listen to my advice or not? "
The Nangong Xue smiled bitterly and said, "The uglier the lie, the more beautiful the outer layer. You also told me that everyone in the Blood Fiend Sect is an enemy. You told me to be wary of every one of my companions and not to trust anyone easily, including you. Do you think that I should obediently leave just because you want me to? Or do you want to completely overturn what you said before? "
The Xuan Shuang was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. Other than Cheng Jiaxuan, he had never seen such a stubborn woman. Yet, she was so eloquent that even his peerless eloquence hit a wall in front of her time and time again.
The Nangong Xue sighed faintly and said, "I can't leave. I've been in the sect for so many days, but I haven't been able to report a single piece of valuable information to Manor Head Ping. It's my incompetence. If I just leave like this, I … I still have something he can use against me. I can't let anyone, anything, or anything threaten Senior Brother's safety … and happiness. Even if this happiness isn't brought to him by me. "
The Xuan Shuang was flustered and exasperated. He sighed with regret and said, "You're really stupid! Why do you have to let another person become your weakness? If Manor Head Ping intended to betray you, he could've immediately called for a meeting the moment you left and forced Li Yijie to abdicate. It's a pity that you're so far away from him, but you're still gambling with your life and working for Manor Head Ping wholeheartedly. You won't be able to return from this mission for a while. He left you outside for so long. Is there anything in the sect that he can't control? Don't end up with your own wishful thinking and become the unlucky person who 'suffered a double loss after trying to gain the wife'! That Li Yijie has let you down! Although it was Miss Ping who was looking for a groom first, if he hadn't taken the initiative and wanted to be the son-in-law of the family, he wouldn't have abandoned his wife. Although I don't know what he was after, I know that he brought this upon himself! A windfall from the sky is usually something that can't be picked up. His life is his own. How he wants to live and whether he's happy is up to him! He doesn't need you to be responsible for him and sacrifice yourself for him! You long-haired, short-sighted women. How can you be so blind in front of love?! You know that he doesn't love you and that even if you work hard for a lifetime, he might not even look at you more than once. Yet you're still willing to add a pile of dust to his future? "
Nangong Xue knew that he was referring to Cheng Jiaxuan. She had always been angry and resentful towards him for being so infatuated with him. She didn't understand. In the end, because of this, she called herself "disillusioned with the world of mortals" and lost confidence in love. She hated the house and its crow. Even she, who had done the same thing, was implicated.
