Chapter 52Â So-Called Love
Warning thereâs a pretty sad cliffhanger this chapter, so prepare yourselves (and tissues)!
The opposing view seemed like it was frozen and there wasnât a sound to be heard. It felt as if there was an endless amount of pain and ruthlessness circulating in the air, making it hard to breathe. In this moment, the blue and green eyed twins were no longer calm. Endless and fierce hatred appeared in their eyes. That enmity carried boundless grief, as if it had been brewing for a millennium and instantly erupted, bringing about despair, pain, and helplessness. In their eyes and hearts there was a bitterness that brought them to wanting to ruin the sky and exterminate the earth. Due to injury, despair, and a want to rip everything apart, they werenât able to find an outlet to let out their deadly grief.
âShut up! Donât.. Speak⦠Anymore!â A shaky, hoarse voice yelled out, breaking the tense silence. The short and masked maleâs hands were clenched into tight fists and his fingernails dug into the palm of his hand, breaking his skin and causing drops of blood to run along his wrists and noiselessly drop onto the ground.
âYour Majesty, this subordinate is asking you not to speak any longer.â
âWhat? Youâre distressed?â Lan Sheng Ling coldly opened his mouth to mocking laugh. Bai Lifeng remained unmoved from his taunting and didnât open his mouth again, choosing to silently stand there instead.
However, how could Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue, who had sunken into sorrow and hostility, remain indifferent after someone had publicly dug out the extreme pain they had buried in the depths of their heart? Adding onto their fury was the fact that their beloved woman was also standing in front of them. So, killing intent spilled out from them. What was once originally purple and green eyes had turned bloody red in this moment.
âI canât believe you still arenât dead! We put you in a snakeâs cave and you didnât die. We fed you âRuined Limbâ and you didnât die. All the meridians in your body were snapped and you didnât die! Bai Lifeng, this time Iâm going to dismember your body into a thousand pieces, let me see how youâre going to emerge in this filthy world again!â
A long, bloody red whip lashed out into the air with killing intent surrounding it; a silver soft sword also slowly inched toward the short male who stood in silence with a hung head. Presently, their hearts only held on word: Kill! Kill Bai Lifeng and all the people they donât deem worthy. Let their blood be a remembrance of the years that had already withered away and the ones ahead of themselves! They were already past reacting to any pain and they were even afraid to raise their head and look at Gu Weiyiâs face! They were afraid to see Yi Yiâs shocked, loathing, and fearful expression. Regardless of what expression she wore, they were afraid to look. During those drab years they had already lost all hope for this world. They had suffered, struggled, and prayed during those times of countless drug tests, humiliation, and pains! But there was never a reply or redemption. The more pain they felt in their bones, the more they lost hope and the more their hatred grew. The purpose of them living is to enact revenge on this world! Nobody can escape them unburdening themselves of their hatred!
But it was just because of their feelings of inferiority and lack of courage that they missed Gu Weiyiâs distressed and concerned face staring at them. They missed seeing the adoration in that pair of eyes they loved so much. How could Gu Weiyi scorn, discriminate, and fear them? For a long time now they had always been the people she cared for the most ah! What she, Gu Weiyi, loved about them wasnât their different colored eyes, beautiful complexion, or their wealthy assets; what she loved was them, thatâs all ah! It wasnât their past or their future, it was just them and nothing more. For a long time now she had never believed that she could love two people so much in the same way. Shouldnât romance be unrivaled? They were twins, they shared the same experiences, but they were actually different and independent, so much so that one wouldnât be able to replace the other! In that case, was her love narrow or extensive?
In the end, what is love? She was their only one, but they werenât her only one, was this fair? But love isnât fair, it takes investment, one must fall in love, and be willing to do these things. Love didnât hold any value, it was worthless; all it has is the idea of willingness and unwillingness.
The two people went to attack at Bai Lifeng fiercely, but they were intercepted and blocked by the five, black clothed people that were originally behind Lan Sheng Ling. Bai Lifengâs martial arts and appearance had already been destroyed by Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue. Even his body had been dried up by them, most likely leaving him as a normal person. The number one most beautiful male was now unrecognizable. He was ugly and short, how could he be the same Bai Lifeng that was the respected poisons expert who was famous in all three kingdoms? However, this retaliation wasnât enough, it was far from enough! The pain he suffered didnât even come near to the pain they did, it was more like one out of ten thousand percent. They wanted to return it to him a hundredfold! But that fiend, despite torturing them for so many years, he was able to come out alive from that snakeâs cave and escape from being swallowed by vipers! Werenât the Heavens too cruel toward them?! The Heavens allowed this malicious brute to live for far too long! What renowned doctor? The people he saved were just props that he used to poison and detoxify. He had poisoned them (Yunge and Zhuyue) and then acted like a good person by saving them. He gained a good name and even found a willing drug person, how could he be against that? Why was this type of scum allowed to stay alive?
The two people who were just about to ruthlessly attack Bai Lifeng held intense hatred at the bottom of their hearts, so despite everything, they refocused their efforts and began to attack the five guards blocking their way. However when the long whip lashed onto their bodies and blood flew everywhere, those five black clothed people acted as if they didnât feel anything and continued to move forward. They werenât injured at all! What was going on?
Unresigned, Xue Yunge channeled his inner power into his long whip and ruthlessly slashed at the black clothed personâs chest. All he saw was that his whip had been stained by some black blood. Xue Yunge moved to withdraw but fell into the blood and became unable to move. The strangest part of it all was the fact that the black clothed people were still entirely unresponsive and continued to hack at Xue Yunge. At this moment Xue Zhuyue was just barely taking care of himself and couldnât withdraw. He was still attacking with red eyes and didnât notice the critical situation Xue Yunge was currently in.
Standing to the side, Gu Weiyi saw all of this very clearly. Her eyes turned into big circles at the sight of the large knife falling down. At this moment she couldnât be bothered with anything else. She struggled and freed herself from Lan Sheng Lingâs hold, running over in Xue Yungeâs direction.
âGe, be careful!â
Following Gu Weiyiâs terrified shout was the sound of a heavy groan. Gu Weiyi tightly shut her eyes. Even if she replaced gege and died under that knife, she wasnât scared. As long as gegewas fine, she would be happy. As long as they were fine, she would really wish to tell them that she didnât care. She only loved them, regardless of their past or future.
However, she didnât feel any of the pain she had expected. Instead, she felt herself being pressed down onto the floor and Zhuang Shengâs annoying shout ringing in her ear.
âYoung Master, whatâs up with you Young Master!â
Mu Yalun? Gu Weiyi opened her eyes. She was focused entirely on gege just then and didnât see him at all, what was up with him? What entered her eyes was a bloodied figure. The person who pushed Xue Yunge away and used their own body to protect her was Mu Yalun? What was originally supposed to befall her body fell onto Mu Yalunâs?
Tears formed in her eyes again as Gu Weiyi stared at the male who protected herself. His jade-like face was extremely pale and his snow white clothes were dyed red from blood. However, that gentle complexion was still holding distress, concern, and nervousness as it stared right back at her.
âWushuang⦠You.. Youâre fine, right?â
âYou idiot! How could I have any issues? The one who has issues is you, okay?!â As to why he would replace her and block the knife, she wouldnât open her mouth and ask him. It was just the same as to why she would choose to block the knife for gege, their reasons were the exact same. But since when did this idiot catch these feelings for her? She had always been wearing menâs clothes and acted comfortable but distant from him. Even if Mu Yalun acted even better and even softer toward her, she wouldnât be able to return these sentiments. But why? He was so clever, he shouldâve long since already seen this ah! Why did he still have to be like this and cause her to feel guilty?
