Chapter 1565 - 1563: Who Do You Think You Are? Does Lan Zhengqing Think He Can Do Whatever He Wants?
Mo Fan was somewhat confused, feeling bewildered.
What did Qiu Xi mean by this? Didn’t she say she liked Lan Zhengqing? Why is she staring at me without blinking, and there’s even a smile in her eyes, almost affectionate?
He scratched the back of his head, feeling utterly baffled.
Even though he didn’t know what was happening.
He had an inexplicable premonition that things weren’t so simple!
So.
He did not withdraw the Xuanyuan Sword Formation nor the barrier in front of him as the situation suddenly turned dire, catching him off guard.
Lan Zhengqing, however, seemed overjoyed, striding towards Qiu Xi, his grin spreading to his ears.
"Qiu Xi, I will treat you well from now on, I promise I will cherish you! Absolutely!"
As he said these words, he was overly excited, appearing somewhat sinister and terrifying.
It didn’t seem like he truly cherished Qiu Xi, but rather, he intended to destroy her.
"Zhengqing, wait a moment."
Watching Lan Zhengqing rush over, Qiu Xi slowly spoke, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
Lan Zhengqing’s body inexplicably shivered violently.
His heart drummed as an ominous feeling emerged.
He rarely saw Qiu Xi’s smile. Every time he did, it seemed overly sharp, not a smile a young girl should have, but one of an assassin.
Yet this assassin was one he had personally nurtured.
However, he feared this assassin’s smile, truly a bit... cowardly.
But Qiu Xi’s smile was indeed too piercing, like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into Lan Zhengqing’s heart, making him involuntarily halt with a stunned expression, staring at the smiling Qiu Xi.
"Qiu Xi, my woman, what’s wrong?"
Qiu Xi carried a meaningful and enigmatic smile; no one knew if she was happy or sad.
Logically speaking, a smile is an expression shown during happiness.
However.
Qiu Xi’s smile showed both happiness and sadness, seemingly combined to produce such a smile.
Plus, Qiu Xi’s frail body indeed made one’s scalp tingle.
"Zhengqing, I haven’t finished speaking, don’t be so excited."
"What haven’t you finished saying?"
"I said earlier that I do like you, but that was in the past."
"What?"
A buzzing sound.
Lan Zhengqing’s mind felt like a bomb exploded, turning all his excitement into ashes, suddenly blank.
"Pas... Past?"
"Yes, past."
Qiu Xi replied earnestly, her voice extremely sure and sincere.
Lan Zhengqing clearly didn’t believe this answer, showing an embarrassed smile, his mouth twitching slightly.
"No...n-no... Qiu Xi, you never lied before... how come you... you’re learning to lie now?" He was at a loss, having heard Qiu Xi say she liked him earlier, now why has it become the past? What is going on... was he teased by Qiu Xi?
"I didn’t lie, every word I said is true." Qiu Xi said, expressionless and unhurriedly.
"This... but..."
"Perhaps my earlier words were unclear, let me say it again." Qiu Xi cleared her throat, her voice pleasant and sweet, like a silver bell. "I indeed liked you once, but now, not only do I not like you, I deeply despise you. Your name makes me nauseous, you looking at me makes me nauseous, you calling me your woman makes me nauseous, every move you make nauseates me."
"Thank you, maybe if you changed your mind the day before, I might have jumped for joy. But now I won’t, because I can’t jump, nor do I want to. I’m not your woman, nor do you truly like me."
"Indeed I said I liked you earlier, but that was two hours ago, before you turned on me, when I liked you. But since your fatal attack, I’ve been confused, thinking it was my mistake. But thinking back and forth, I found I wasn’t wrong at all, so I’m sure, it’s you who are wrong, utterly wrong!"
"Admit it, you don’t like me at all, you just want to use me, to keep me from revealing the truth, not to expose your true face in the Five Elements Realm. For this, you wouldn’t hesitate to lower yourself, calling me your woman. With my understanding of you, I think you would definitely destroy me after deceiving me, grind my bones to ash, absolutely not allowing me to speak. After all, the only ones who can’t leak secrets are the dead."
Lan Zhengqing and Lin Fan watched Qiu Xi in shock and incredulity, their eyes bulging.
However.
Their moods were completely different.
Lan Zhengqing was truly stunned, along with intense shock and helplessness, not believing Qiu Xi dared speak to him this way.
While Lin Fan was overjoyed, a situation he thought doomed to fail suddenly turned around.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qiu Xi smiled slightly, speaking calmly.
"Just... it’s... hard to believe..." Lin Fan didn’t know how to express himself, chuckling foolishly.
"Did you think I would be deceived?"
"Yes... I thought you would... choose him..."
"What a joke, I’m not a naive girl, how could I be fooled repeatedly? I’ve clearly seen through Lan Zhengqing’s true face, and I will absolutely not aid his tyranny, allowing him to harm me, to harm the civilians!"
Qiu Xi said emphatically, glaring sharply at Lan Zhengqing.
Lan Zhengqing’s mind kept buzzing, completely bewildered.
He still hadn’t come to his senses, not daring to believe Qiu Xi would abandon him for Lin Fan.
What a joke...
They haven’t known each other for even a day, why would Qiu Xi choose Lin Fan over him?
Why?!
It’s truly ridiculous!
He thought himself the victor, unexpectedly he was the clown!
Damned...
Was he played by them...
"Qiu Xi... you... are you serious? You’re not joking, are you? Choosing Lin Fan over me? What... what are you thinking? What exactly are you thinking?! Have you gone mad?! Have you gone mad?! You’re willing to trust an outsider but not me! By trusting me, you could be my woman, don’t you want to be my woman? Haven’t you always wanted to be my woman? You’ve always been jealous of the women in the cellar, but why not now? I’m going to those cellar women, aren’t you going to win me back? What exactly are you doing!"
Lan Zhengqing clearly couldn’t withstand such a blow, a woman, a normal woman, choosing Lin Fan over him, what kind of mad act is this?!
His eyes almost bulged out onto the ground.
Completely unable to believe this situation.
"You’re free to seek the women in the cellar, I don’t care at all. Besides, you won’t find them, Lin Fan has already relocated them."
"Also, to correct you, I don’t want to be your woman, so stop saying such nauseating things, who do you think you are? Can Lan Zhengqing do as he pleases?"
"It truly makes me sick."
Qiu Xi shook her head, rolling her eyes, full of disdain and contempt.
