Chapter 1209: You Would Still Forgive Him

Chapter 1209: You Would Still Forgive Him

Lin Nuo felt a whirlwind of emotions as he recalled that without Liu Shuqin back then, he might have already sunk into depression.

How embarrassing, ashamed of his own cowardice, and regretting his inability to save Liu Shuqin in his past life.

Although he achieved it this time, there was always a hint of regret.

Sigh, he thought too much; he had died in his past life, so who could he have saved? It was all in vain.

Though he muttered about this “ruined place,” there were some memories worth recalling.

For instance, the Bamboo Forest was indeed the place he often got grumpy, and it was where he had multiple secret meetings with Liu Shuqin.

Liu Shuqin had always been like an older sister, guiding him, but he knew she was equally gentle with everyone, so he didn’t think much about it.

Looking back now, her concern for him was undoubtedly much greater than for others; perhaps it was due to their shared sect.

In any case, he would never receive the treatment of those brainless anime male leads, who were nothing but a nuisance, with school beauties flocking to support him unconditionally.

What right did they have?

That’s why he got annoyed watching anime; those male leads were pathetic, only good at being hopelessly indecisive.

“Alright, let’s head over there. I originally planned to destroy this place, but if I do, I might regret it years down the line. Forget it.”

Erasing the sect was one thing, but destroying Tianling Mountain would mean obliterating the few good memories he had left—better to leave them be.

The Xuanyun Sect was already in shambles, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger; it was a headless group rife with suspicion among each other. It was only a matter of time before they fell apart.

After cutting down the Crack of the Demon Realm, the place went quiet, and they stepped out of Hunyung Hall. The disciples outside were in panic, having just felt the tremors from within, clueless about what had happened.

The sect leader was still inside; they wouldn’t dare go in and kill him, right?!

“Y-you, what happened to the sect leader…?”

One disciple timidly asked, but others were already retreating, sensing that the Xuanyun Sect was doomed and deciding to leave while they could.

Zhang Yuanxu’s many commands had long strayed from the ethos of the Xuanyun Sect; many disciples were too afraid to speak their minds. Now seeing the situation, it felt like liberation for them.

“Your sect leader has already been harmed by Zhang Yuanxu, little minions. You’re still in the dark. Oh, and you bullied me once.”

Lin Nuo had a good memory; although he hadn’t been involved with the Xuanyun Sect for a long time, he could still remember who had tormented him back then.

“Go down with your master.”

Lin Nuo swung his Sharp Sword and cut down the few disciples who had bullied him, leaving a few others who were so scared they were begging for their lives:

“Big brother, spare us! We were forced into this; Zhang Yuanxu often coerced us! We were just trying to get by!”

Lin Nuo chuckled at their pleas. Right, with their foundation collapsing, these people were suddenly begging for mercy.

What was there to beg for? If they had run away, he wouldn’t have bothered chasing after them.

Since they chose to stay, that was just plain foolishness. Now begging for mercy? That was the height of foolishness.

“You didn’t leave when you had the chance, so you’re doomed. Anyway, the Xuanyun Sect is no more, and outside, it’s all Demon Practitioners. You have nowhere else to go. Let me send you off nice and early to the next life.”

Lin Nuo raised the Spirit Sword again, bringing it down directly on the remaining disciples.

He wouldn’t chase after those who fled; let them go. Those who stayed, since they weren’t afraid of him, could just meet their end.

Liu Shuqin felt a twinge in her heart, but she didn’t say much. After all, she had killed quite a few herself; what right did she have to question Lin Nuo?

Perhaps she should slowly adapt to the current state of affairs.

“Now that blood has been shed, can you adapt, Senior Sister?”

Lin Nuo specifically asked Liu Shuqin, who nodded and forced a smile:

“I’m fine, Junior Brother. Just do what you need to do without worrying about my thoughts.”

“No, I still want to care about your thoughts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have saved you.”

Lin Nuo said, retracting the Spirit Sword and taking Liu Shuqin’s hand.

“Let’s go, we’ll head over.”

“Hey, you two are all lovey-dovey, am I invisible here?”

Mu Yiting couldn’t take it anymore; they were showing off so openly, and she was just a background character, being treated as a tool for them.

She was thinking that had she known Liu Shuqin was coming, she wouldn’t have brought Lin Nuo along, letting Liu Shuqin just deal with her own fate.

“Sigh, I didn’t mean to make you feel invisible. Don’t overthink it.”

Lin Nuo sighed; this woman was back at it again, really giving him a headache.

“We’re all family here, let’s get along and not bicker. Let’s go together.”

Lin Nuo quickly held Mu Yiting’s hand; it was hard to ensure fairness, but he’d try his best.

Otherwise, who knows when he’d be divided into several shares one day; that would really be a nightmare.

It was hard to say; after all, he couldn’t be on guard every moment; there might be mishaps during moments of rest.

Moreover, as their abilities heightened, it was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress them with brute force. He couldn’t even dominate one of them in bed.

That was a problem.

Currently, he was still searching for techniques to enhance his prowess. By the time he succeeded in his training, taking on two or three wouldn’t be an issue.

He should be able to do it.

Otherwise, how could he keep up?

…

After Lin Nuo abruptly left, Su Kexin was angry for several days, but she didn’t know where he had gone and was puzzled.

Lin Nuo had warned her not to practice martial arts to avoid triggering her powers. Initially, she would have listened, but since he disappeared, she ignored him.

“Senior Brother is a liar, a big scammer! Give me back my purity!”

Su Kexin was furious; how could she not be? She had become intimate with Lin Nuo, and now he had vanished, leaving her unable to find him. It was driving her crazy.

She had to find Lin Nuo.

But without any clues, she could only bring her grandfather back home first.

When their family was reunited, especially her grandmother, it felt like a dream. After so many years, she never expected to see her partner again, and she was overwhelmed with excitement, tears flowing freely.

It should have been a joyful day, but Su Kexin had her secrets, her worries painted clearly on her face.

“Kexin, do you have something on your mind?”

Su Kexin’s mother noticed her unease and approached to show concern.

“No, Mom, I’m fine…”

“Kexin, you’re too easy to read. Your face gives you away. If something’s wrong, just talk to me. Keeping it bottled up isn’t good for you.”

“Mom, it’s just… it’s about Senior Brother. He’s too much! We already… already shared a bed and had intimate relations. Then he just up and left! I don’t know where he is. Isn’t that outrageous?”

Su Kexin voiced her grievances about Lin Nuo; indeed, she had given him everything, and he had the audacity to leave without a word.

“If I see him again, I won’t let him off!”

“Kexin, do you think he’s someone worthy of your trust? How do you really feel about him?”

“I… um… if he hadn’t left, he’d definitely be worth trusting. But now…”

“Even if given another chance, you’d still wish to rely on and trust him, right? Even when you meet him again, you would still forgive him. I think he might have his reasons; our family has benefited greatly from him. If he weren’t concerned about you, he wouldn’t bother with your matters.”
