Chapter 1181: Do You Think So?

Chapter 1181: Do You Think So?

It’s hard to imagine what kind of mental state Su Kexin was in when she brought this up.

Washing away the sins of her past life and then trying to change his view of her—what a ridiculous idea.

If she could actually cleanse herself, that might be somewhat understandable, but right now it’s just forcing it. They’ve already been through the chopping block; saying she had feelings for him is like claiming he killed everyone in a town just to “liberate” them from their miserable lives.

Fine, let’s pretend she could wash her image clean, but she couldn’t raise her status above Ruo’er’s, not to mention Liu Shuqin couldn’t reach that level either.

After all, he has the image of a villain. No matter how much merit he establishes in this life, he can never fully atone for his past misdeeds.

In this life, he accepted her and didn’t harm her any further—this was already his greatest mercy. Pushing further might just be a bit too much.

Considering Su Kexin’s feelings, Lin Nuo decided to say a few comforting words to her. It’s a way of painting big dreams: essentially, you are you, and she is she—the past has nothing to do with you, and your future is in your hands.

That big chunk of a dream cake is something a naive person like her would definitely take a bite of.

But speaking of seizing the future, that’s quite difficult. After all, Ruo’er has a strong foundation—she’s loyal and has a good personality. Plus, with just a glance from him, she knows exactly what he wants, serving him perfectly.

After hearing Lin Nuo’s words, Su Kexin felt conflicted. Although she verbally claimed she trusted him, deep down she occasionally sensed he was brushing her off.

To say there was no impact would be a lie; she could tell Lin Nuo still harbored some biases against her because of their past.

Sigh. It’s truly unavoidable; they are enemies, after all, fighting against each other. That they can still converse now is already a miracle.

Su Kexin took a long breath and spoke with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness:

“Okay, if we don’t interfere in each other’s affairs and start fresh, that would be great. But Ruo’er is different—because Ruo’er’s gratitude toward Senior Martial Brother is deeply ingrained in him, and he’s been good to another version of Ruo’er from a different time. Of course, I’m not saying Ruo’er is bad, but it feels like I’ve fallen so far behind her because of what’s happened in this world.”

“This world isn’t about absolute fairness. Given your abilities, you don’t need to struggle much to reach heights that others couldn’t achieve in their entire lives. You could even be considered immortal—no one could kill you. What fairness are you talking about?”

Lin Nuo scoffed. Yes, while you’re talking fairness, what about those cannon fodders?

Lin Nuo’s tone was a bit harsh, putting Su Kexin in an awkward position. The atmosphere between them, which was somewhat harmonious before, suddenly became tense, making Su Kexin sweat a little.

She thought it was time to end the awkward topic, but some words slipped out:

“Is immortality really that good, Senior Martial Brother? When your loved ones and family have passed away, and you’re left all alone, with the world changing and everything else remaining unchanged—wouldn’t that be a very sad thing? I’m starting to understand her feelings back then. If years later she looked at your grave, how heartbreaking would that be?”

“Don’t act like she’s a lovesick person… and how did you come to that conclusion? What you’re saying makes it sound like she’s destined to be a widow. In the days to come, she can find someone new and build her own family. She can have a happy life; there’s no need for you to worry about that. I have no significant connection with her. Enough with your dramatics; let’s just leave these matters for Qingming to discuss.”

Lin Nuo interrupted the topic. He started distinguishing between Da Su and Xiao Su, while she insisted on seeing them as the same person—that was digging her own grave and asking for trouble.

“Are you going to save Ruo’er?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Yeah… I will, but I’m not going to use the reason of killing Senior Martial Brother; I’ll find my own way.”

“Do as you please; the process doesn’t matter. What matters is the result. You go ahead; I’ll head back to Ru Yu Village… Actually, never mind, don’t go.”

Lin Nuo changed the topic and didn’t let Su Kexin go.

“What’s wrong? Is Senior Martial Brother going too?” Su Kexin asked.

“Didn’t you see our bodies? They’re all flickering. That’s a sign of a scene transition. At this rate, I’m heading to the grave.”

Lin Nuo said. Alright, heading to the grave—time to end a sinful life.

“Senior Martial Brother, don’t… Where are we going next…”

“Don’t know. Farewell.”

Lin Nuo gestured to Su Kexin, and their bodies quickly became transparent and vanished.

……

“Hmm?”

Lin Nuo opened his eyes, realizing he had already left that death cliff, and the Demon Qi was no longer so intense.

“I had a dream… Seriously… Well, everything’s fine. So, Su Kexin still doesn’t know the truth; that person in the dream isn’t her.”

Lin Nuo murmured to himself, his voice as quiet as a mosquito, afraid to wake Su Kexin beside him.

“You’re doing pretty well, aren’t you?”

Lin Nuo looked at Su Kexin, who looked a little over two years younger than the one in his dream; she didn’t have the same imposing aura as Da Su, and he didn’t find that displeasing.

Recently, he’d been having strange dreams, even dreaming of traveling through with Su Kexin—what a ridiculous thing! He needed some medicine to calm his nerves.

“Hmm…”

Su Kexin let out a delicate sound, waking up, stretching a bit, then rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Senior, Senior Martial Brother…”

“Did I wake you?” Lin Nuo asked.

“No… Ah, was everything just a dream?”

Su Kexin bent forward, feeling quite disappointed. If that was a dream, then it was all a lie—everything was just illusions in her mind.

So disappointing.

“What kind of dream did you have? Why do you seem so anxious?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Um, I seemed to go to a place, and what happened there was different from what we experienced…”

Su Kexin recounted her sights and experiences to Lin Nuo, growing anxious again when mentioning their near clash at the cliff.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Lin Nuo felt something was off—wait a minute, am I sleeping in the same bed, and you’re literally connecting with me?

But this didn’t seem strange; last time we didn’t even share a bed, and you still connected with me.

“Senior Martial Brother, do you think that’s true? I remember we shared the same dream last time; is that still the case?”

“Yes.”

Lin Nuo decided to be honest with Su Kexin. After all, even if he tried to hide it, the heavens would lead her closer to the truth.

“So, do you have anything else you want to ask?”

“I… So, all of that was what Senior Martial Brother experienced, right? That means your soul is transferred from somewhere…”

“What do you think?”

“I think it is.”

“Then that settles it.” Lin Nuo nodded.
