Chapter 96: Deep-hearted and Ruthless

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Woo... woo..."

 

Yi Xin let out a deep cry and struggled desperately, but saw that black figure suddenly leaning over, and then whispered something in her ear, Yi Xin froze immediately, then stopped struggling, and the whole person was quiet, only the darkness in the eyes still showed a trace of shock.

 

The hand that covered her mouth slowly retracted, and the black shadow was still sitting on the edge of her bed, a pair of bright eyes appeared in the darkness, and then gradually saw his face, it was Lu Chen.

 

"Brother Lu..." Yi Xin called out softly. Apart from the astonishment in her eyes, there was finally a little more joy in her eyes. For some reason, she suddenly felt sour in her eyes, but after a moment, two lines of tears silently flowed down from her pale face.

 

Tears ran across her white and tender skin, and the bandaged wound on one side of her face was still not removed, making her look extraordinarily bleak. Lu Chen looked at the girl sitting in the dark and weeping silently, sighed, then reached out and wiped the tears on her face, saying:

 

"Don't cry, you did a good job."

 

Yi Xin stared at him blankly, her lips trembling slightly, and the scenes of these days flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she found that so many fellow students, so many relatives, even her parents, seemed to be separated from her. In the past few days, she has tried her best to suppress her fear and tension, but only at this time, in this dark and quiet night, in front of this man who seems to be one with the darkness like a shadow, she suddenly feels a sense of relief.

 

He knows all the secrets, and there is no need to pretend anything in front of him. Yi Xin just looked at him like this, unknowingly burst into tears again, and even her voice trembled and choked:

 

"Lu, Brother Lu ...... I'm so scared ......"

 

Lu Chen raised his hand, as if he wanted to comfort Yi Xin, but just as he raised his hand, he suddenly felt a warm body fall into his arms, hugged his arm tightly, desperately with a suppressed trembling voice, she cried in a low voice: "I was so scared, Brother Lu, I was so scared at that time, I was in so much pain... I have never been in such pain in my life! I watched myself bleed so much, my whole body was all blood, I, I, I even cut my own face, and I've been an ugly monster since then... woo woo, woo woo woo..."

 

Lu Chen's hands froze in the air, and he couldn't lift or release them for a while, so he had to let Yi Xin cry in his arms letting her vent. After a while, he found that Yi Xin still didn't seem to calm down, so he patted the girl's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Okay, it's all over..."

 

Perhaps his comfort had some effect, Yi Xin's crying slowly quieted down, after a while, she slowly left Lu Chen's body and sat down on the bed again with her head down. She kept wiping the tears on her face with her hands.

 

He held a handkerchief in one hand and handed it to her.

 

Yi Xin hesitated for a moment, took it, wiped her face while whispering, "Thank you."

 

※※※

 

"Well, this is the final result of the matter." The room was still dark, and Lu Chen and Yi Xin sat on the same bed in the dark, a little strangely and somewhat ambiguously, separated by some distance, listening to Lu Chen talking about the events of the days, and then finally Lu Chen as if to draw a conclusion, said.

 

"If there is no accident, He Yi will have a long period of time in seclusion. He Gang is currently recovering from his injuries in Kunwu City, but it will be difficult to return to the Kunlun School. Maybe he will be expelled from the mountain gate because of this.

 

Yi Xin's breathing seemed to be short in the dark for a while, and then said in an unbelievable tone: "Really?"

 

"Really."

 

Yi Xin was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath, as if a boulder that had been weighing on her heart for a long time had finally been moved away. After a while, she sighed softly, "Our Kunlun School still has its own principles, that is, it's just because of me this time that it alarmed so many senior elders, it's really..."

 

Before she finished speaking, Yi Xin suddenly saw Lu Chen beside him turning his head to look at her, with a pair of bright but deep eyes staring at her. For some reason, Yi Xin's heart suddenly felt empty for no reason, and her voice dripped down involuntarily. After a while, she waited and said: "I, did I say something wrong?"

 

Lu Chen looked at her with a smirk and said, "Do you really think that all the commotion between the Hundred Herb Hall and the Heavenly Warrior Hall is just for you?"

 

Yi Xin was stunned, and after a while she stuttered and said: "Isn't it?"

 

"Of course it was for you at the beginning. When you came out of the woods that day, the scene was so bloody and tragic that no one could bear it, so including your Uncle Yan Luo, he was really angry that he took action to help you."

 

"But what kind of aristocrats are the Kunlun faction, and how many high-ranking scholars are there in the Hundred Herb Hall, how could they rashly turn against such an important hall as the Heavenly Warrior Hall for a small new student like you? Did you even think about yourself before? Even you won't believe that this would happen?"

 

Yi Xin nodded silently and said, "Then what exactly is it for, Brother Lu?"

 

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Because there's still someone who doesn't see the He brothers in a good light."

 

"Who?"

 

"The disciple of the clan who come from the same Kunwu City family as you."

 

Yi Xin was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion, "No way, although my family is also considered one of the Kunwu City lineage families, but to be honest, our Yi family has really come from an average family over the years and has not produced any particularly outstanding talents, and the other big lineage families rarely pay attention to us."

 

Lu Chen said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with this, but all the people from the family, since childhood have different circumstances, it is natural to be in a more or less superior mood. Will some people think more about you when they see you? What about: What if the people He Gang is looking for are girls from other aristocratic families? The big aristocratic families are confident, powerful and powerful, so naturally they are not afraid, but what about those small and medium aristocratic families, do they deserve to be bullied by such newly rising young people? Take a step back. Say, even if it is a big family now, what if the family becomes like the Yi family in dozens or hundreds of years, and the daughter of the family meets such a person at that time, what should they do?"

 

He sat quietly in the darkness, looking at the injured young girl, said calmly and even vaguely with a hint of coldness: "So the key to this matter is the place where it happened. If you were bullied by He Gang over there in the Land of Confusion, or even worse than what happened today, the reaction in the Kunlun Sect might not even be that great. And this time it was in the Kunlun School, it happened in full view of all Kunlun disciples, it was a slap in the face, it was a slap in the face of hundreds of families, big and small, in Kunwu City. It's strange that they don't screw up the He brothers."

 

Yi Xin stared blankly at Lu Chen who was sitting in the shadow, looked at his pair of deep pupils looming in the darkness, and suddenly said softly:

 

"Brother Lu ......"

 

"Hmm?"

 

"When you helped me think of the idea at the very beginning, did you already think of all the things behind this?"
