Chapter 1157: Senior Martial Brother, Don’t Deceive Me!

Chapter 1157: Senior Martial Brother, Don’t Deceive Me!

Lin Nuo always arranged everything in advance, keeping the entire situation under his control.

However, the more he did this, the more he feared the uncertainties that filled the air.

Like Su Kexin’s abilities.

Who can predict that? Who can control how things unfold!

So what’s up with Sister Su now? Don’t get wild, or we’ll all be buried here!

“Old man, how should we explain this situation?”

Lin Nuo asked the old man, “This is your territory, explain the relationship between this space upheaval and Sister Su, and derive a formula to prove it.”

“What principle? You should be quite clear about that, no need for me to elaborate. Her power is formidable but unstable. If fully unleashed, it’ll lead to the complete collapse of this place, even wiping everything out. And the result would be just one: apart from her, we all go down with it.”

The old man spoke calmly, as if he had already disregarded life and death.

All of us dying here, and you speak so lightly about it.

*Cough…*

Lin Nuo coughed slightly, witnessing the space collapsing even more ferociously, feeling a bit flustered.

Dying here with an old man is way worse than going to the cliff again to reenact that sword scene with Su Kexin!

Once Su Kexin erupts, her emotions become even more volatile; a single stray thought gets magnified, leading her to feel like the whole world has betrayed her.

“Only you can calm her down, young man. By intentionally distancing yourself, you naturally make her anxious.”

“Aren’t you distancing yourself too? Don’t tell me you’re not afraid of her?”

Lin Nuo retorted to the old man; what’s this nonsense? It was fine before you showed up. Now, everything’s just worse, and Su Kexin’s emotions are more unstable than ever.

With your grand talk, why don’t you go comfort her? That ray of light will scorch you to a crisp!

“For someone like me who’s come across demonic forces, distancing from her is a natural instinct. But you shouldn’t be doing that.” The old man began lecturing Lin Nuo.

“And why’s that?”

“Simple! Because she relies on you! Her emotional instability is entirely because of you. Right now, she desperately needs your support and encouragement. After all, it’s not easy for her to control this power, and you should be by her side, unwavering.”

The old man consciously acted all righteous on the outside, seemingly persuading Lin Nuo to stand by Su Kexin while actually condemning him for being selfish, disregarding his partner just for his own sake.

Don’t say it too much, lad, figure it out yourself. I trust your wit can catch up.

*That old guy, talking without any pain involved, huh?*

*Yeah, yeah, be all loyal and whatnot, but if it ends up as a corpse, that’s true loyalty! She’ll just keep it for her collection forever!*

But honestly, it can’t just go on like this. Even if there’s only a 1% chance the old man’s words are true, he shouldn’t underestimate that 1% risk.

If it really collapses, dying like this would be downright embarrassing.

Forget it, it shouldn’t reach the level of being purified by Sister Su.

This old man just loves to run his mouth; don’t have high hopes on you, just wait and die.

Lin Nuo didn’t talk much with the old man. He stood up again and slowly walked toward Su Kexin.

“What are you going to do?” the old man asked.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Lin Nuo snapped back, annoyed. You’re the one saying to comfort her, and then asking me what I’m doing? Why do you have so many questions, old man?

“Senior… Senior Brother…”

Seeing Lin Nuo slowly approaching, Su Kexin’s mood improved a little, but she was still anxious and uneasy, as Lin Nuo was still too far from her side.

“Listen to me; it’s okay. Don’t think too much; just stay put, and everything will pass.”

Lin Nuo offered some encouraging words, fully knowing this little lady was quite gullible.

“Senior Brother… you’re… too… too far… come a little closer, just a bit more…”

Su Kexin’s voice gradually rose, and then she started walking towards Lin Nuo, eager to reach him as quickly as possible.

“Y-You stay still! I’ll come over.”

Lin Nuo hurriedly tried to stop her behavior. After all, her movements were uncontrollable, but he himself could control how much he walked.

He walked slowly, as if moving like a snail, which truly was a skill for a happy-go-lucky wind dude.

“Senior Brother… you walk so slowly! Maybe I should just come over; it’s a two-way trip!”

Su Kexin was dying of impatience watching Lin Nuo move so slowly, ignoring him telling her to stay put, racing toward him, wanting to be by his side.

Oh no…

The closer Su Kexin got, the more anxious he became, aware that he was consciously stepping back.

Having barely moved at all as a snail, he ended up retreating even further than he walked!

“Senior Brother, you… you… deceived me! Didn’t you say you’d come over? Why are you backing away even more!”

Su Kexin finally realized, even with her simple mind, that Lin Nuo was drifting away from her, causing her considerable anger.

Isn’t this lying? You’re just trying to distance yourself!

The old man quickly distanced himself from the edge; don’t let you two kids’ little spat involve me.

The more furious Su Kexin got, the stronger the upheaval in the space grew; it seriously felt like it was going to collapse.

This can’t go on—better to go face her head-on.

Lin Nuo took a deep breath, the earlier anxiety dwindling a bit, though some remnants remained; overall, it wasn’t a big problem.

Whatever; let’s just go for it.

“I’m not deceiving you; I’m coming! It’s just that the wind around you is too strong, blowing me away. But I’ve overcome that, so don’t get too excited.”

This time, Lin Nuo increased his pace quite a bit, actually testing himself to overcome his fear.

He was getting closer to her, yet the closer he got, the slower he walked.

You can’t just beat fear in one fell swoop; that’s simply unrealistic.

“Senior Brother, I’m so worried that you may distance yourself from me… I’m so afraid you’d deceive me… because… I trust you more than anything… you’re my greatest motivation to keep living…”

Su Kexin wiped her tears, her voice mixed with sobs. This little girl had been putting up a brave front, enduring plenty of grievances without crying, but when it came to the grievances brought by Lin Nuo, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

“I’m not deceiving you; I’m coming.”

Lin Nuo gradually moved closer, but they were still apart. At this moment, Su Kexin couldn’t wait anymore and directly lunged toward Lin Nuo.

At that moment, Lin Nuo instinctively wanted to retreat. With his skills, dodging Su Kexin’s charge would be a piece of cake, meaning she would end up crashing into nothing.

But if that happened, things might get worse.

Lin Nuo didn’t dodge, standing firm and catching Su Kexin head-on.

Su Kexin landed in Lin Nuo’s embrace; even though her body radiated brilliant light and possessed immense aura, she didn’t purify or obliterate him.

In fact, Lin Nuo even felt a bit of warmth.

“Senior Brother… don’t leave… don’t abandon me…”

Su Kexin murmured sweetly, nestled in Lin Nuo’s embrace. Lin Nuo didn’t say much; he simply gently stroked her hair.
