Chapter 1173: I Don’t Like You, I Like That Senior Martial Brother

“What the hell is going on?”

Lin Nuo was increasingly shocked. What was that place you were talking about?

This wasn’t supposed to be Su Kexin’s setup here.

Ah, this…

Could it be that Su Kexin already had feelings for me, Lin Nuo?

Is this really a case of love turning to hate in the end?

Shouldn’t it be the other way around—he finds another woman, and she hates him for it?

But he hasn’t looked for any woman, he’s been single all his life, and despite being a fearsome villain, numerous charming women sought him out, perhaps out of respect for his strength or were mesmerized by his authority.

Yet he didn’t accept their so-called affections.

That’s just hypocritical nonsense, maybe some old man arranged a beauty trap, only low-level villains would fall for such tricks.

So that reason can be ruled out.

Moreover, she had no reason to have feelings for him; even if she did, it should be after she had chopped him down.

Just like Da Su said, after he died, she felt life had lost its meaning.

Speaking of which, Da Su is quite terrifying; if someone like her gets emotional, the reasons must be way more complicated than anything else.

Now Lin Nuo felt utterly confused; it seemed like he had vented his frustrations on the wrong person.

And why was she crying? If you’re going to say it, just say it!

The problem is, I, Lin Nuo, actually care that you’re crying.

Caught in this situation, it’s infuriating—this is not how a villain should be acting.

“Ahem…”

Lin Nuo slapped himself; no more kindness, this isn’t the attitude or emotions he should have.

“What? You say you like me? Any ordinary person would think that’s impossible.”

Lin Nuo hurriedly denied Su Kexin’s idea. Su Kexin wasn’t having it, retaliating:

“Why is it impossible? Senior Martial Brother, why don’t you enlighten me?”

Su Kexin also wanted to understand what kind of relationship she maintained with the Senior Martial Brother in this timeline.

Could it really just be a superficial Senior Martial Brother-sister relationship, with nothing else?

If that’s the case, it seems she really was pathetic.

“Why? You’ve only said a few words to me in Xuanyun Sect, and after your trashy master started to value you, you wouldn’t even deign to speak to me.”

“Deign? I…”

This left Su Kexin with a heart-wrenching feeling. If that were true, then that’s truly terrible.

Just because she received attention, she wouldn’t speak to her Senior Martial Brother—that’s disdain towards him. Does such a self really deserve to have a Senior Martial Brother?

How superficial could one be?

“I’m sorry, Senior Martial Brother… If you think I’m really awful, please scold me; I promise I won’t retort…”

“Scold you? Not worth it. If I were to scold, there would be so many to choose from. No need. So, you think there’s a chance you’d like me? If Han Fairy sent you here, you can go back. This lie wouldn’t fool a ghost.”

“It’s not my master who sent me. The truth is, someone like me could never really like a Senior Martial Brother. I don’t even deserve to like a Senior Martial Brother. But, Senior Martial Brother, I truly do like you… More accurately, I don’t like you…”

“Are you a bit off in the head? One moment you like, one moment you don’t. Trying to mess with me? Have you been studying your master’s old fox tricks of deception? Are you just looking to stir trouble?”

Lin Nuo was furious as he listened. Is this Su Kexin messing with me? If it weren’t for your protagonist aura protecting you, I’d have sliced you into pieces by now.

So annoying; this girl has explosive powers—don’t touch her. Plus, I, Lin Nuo, just came back from the Magic Spring; if I got close to her power, I’d probably get purified and die on the spot.

No worries; cursing at people is also one of my specialties. I’ll center it on you and bomb your ancestors with a radius that puts you smack dab in the Zhuan’an district.

“No, Senior Martial Brother. I’m just speaking the truth. The one I like is my Senior Martial Brother from my own place. Although you both are my Senior Martial Brothers, my most beautiful memories were made with him, not you.”

“You really have some issues.”

Lin Nuo felt something was off; he sensed a hint of realization creeping in.

No way, no way—could Su Kexin have really traveled back in time?

This doesn’t fit her timeline and script!

“You said your place? So, you don’t belong here. In your place, there’s a person named Lin Nuo, and he’s being hailed as a great hero?”

Lin Nuo probed, and Su Kexin eagerly responded:

“Yes, yes! Senior Martial Brother, how did you know?”

“This…”

Lin Nuo was stunned; no wonder she was here—this wasn’t her plot, she shouldn’t even be appearing here.

So does that mean we wrapped up a meal and ended up back in the past together?

This is exhilarating.

“You… when did you come here? So, when did you appear in this place that doesn’t belong to you?”

“About… half an hour ago. I came to my senses and realized I was here with my master and the others. Before that, I was in the time just after you escaped from Xuanyun Sect, learning about you. Then I shifted to this place. Senior Martial Brother, how did you know? Did someone tell you?”

Su Kexin got excited and tried to move closer to Lin Nuo, but Lin Nuo intentionally stepped back, maintaining his distance.

I mean, ridiculous girl, who told me? There’s a possibility I am that Lin Nuo!

Wait a minute; this girl might be trying to gain my trust.

Earlier, that was information I revealed, and she only responded with “Ah, yes, yes.”

Let’s test further:

“I ask you, when did you and your Senior Martial Brother go out for trials together?”

“It was during the trial in Wind Sea Forest! About a year ago! That was my first time going out with my Senior Martial Brother for trials, and it was then that I slowly got to know him, felt his charm, and fell for him…”

“Alright, enough already.”

Su Kexin babbled on and on, and Lin Nuo quickly interrupted her.

So this was truly her.

Crap, she came all the way here?

Did that mean I just scolded the wrong person?

Whatever, what’s done is done.

Now the question is, if she’s here, does that mean I’m still going to execute my revenge plan in this timeline?

At this moment, holding hands and getting married would mean no aftermath disasters, no classic incidents of being cut down at the cliff’s edge.

“How much do you really know? Seems like you’re already aware of what happened to me.”

“Probably have a decent understanding. Senior Martial Brother had it really tough, extremely difficult. Perhaps it’s because you’ve faced so much hardship; many cultivators are still pressuring you, forcing you onto the demonic path. I’m not advising you to turn back; even if you did, you wouldn’t find happiness. You can stick to your resolve, and I won’t oppose you. But, Senior Martial Brother, you’re not the one I like.”

“No, you had some sense a moment ago—what happened? Weren’t you just asking me why I knew that person was hailed as a great hero? Is it possible that I am him?”

Lin Nuo shook his head; what a foolish girl.
