Chapter 1210: Natural Disasters
Hearing her mother’s words, Su Kexin pondered deeply. Indeed, if given another choice, she would still rely on Lin Nuo and trust him, even if his initial intentions weren’t entirely for her sake.
What can you do? That’s what love is—completely unstoppable.
Besides, how could one not be overwhelmed with emotions when encountering someone special at such a youthful age?
“Mom, you’re right. Sigh, my Senior Brother is quite solitary; I can’t impose on him. If I had the chance again, I would still depend on him. Did Dad never regret neglecting the family back then?”
Su Kexin shifted the topic to Su Lingjiang, hoping to gain some insights and guidance from her mother.
“No. Because I know he has that kind of personality, I chose to be with him, and naturally, I trust him. Although I had a tough time during those years he was missing, he ultimately returned, and waiting was indeed worthwhile. Your grandmother must feel the same about your grandfather; all these years, she hasn’t regretted following him initially.”
“Hmm… It seems this might be our family’s tradition.”
“Right. So, Kexin, your choice to follow Lin Nuo might be fate, but it will also test your patience. However, I believe this wait will be worth it.”
Su Kexin’s mother squeezed her hand and smiled gently. After such encouragement, Su Kexin felt much more at ease.
This is family tradition! So Lin Nuo is undoubtedly her destined partner.
In truth, after all those separations and reunions, it showed they were truly fated.
It’s just a pity that they weren’t able to conceive a child together.
She imagined their child would surely be extraordinary, destined for greatness in the future.
“So, Kexin, you don’t need to think too much about it; it’ll only make you anxious. He’s just busy; you’ll definitely meet him again soon.”
“Mm-hmm. It’ll definitely be soon. By then, our family will be together again, and it will be lively!”
“Right, a family all together. We should invite our in-laws over as well; that would make it even more exciting.”
“My Senior Brother has mentioned that he only has his mother left; he has severed ties with the Lin family long ago. Sigh, even though he was born into a prestigious family, it’s quite tough for him. Sometimes, it makes me think that our lives as commoners are actually quite happy.”
Su Kexin sighed deeply, considering how Lin Nuo had probably felt unloved all this time, wishing she could compensate him for the rest of their lives.
She hoped that Lin Nuo wouldn’t fear becoming a father because of her family issues.
It wouldn’t be perfect if there were no love children from them; a child being the fusion of their bloodline is the best embodiment of their love.
Surely, it will happen, as long as they are still alive.
…
“Junior Martial Brother, was it like this last time too?”
Liu Shuqin gazed at the desolate Xuanyun Sect, feeling sad, for she had spent years training and living here. To see it reduced to such a state was disheartening.
“Pretty much. The decline of this place was destined. If someone like Zhang Yuanxu can run the Xuanyun Sect, what future can this place have?”
Lin Nuo complained, understanding Liu Shuqin’s feelings; after all, she was a sentimental person, and witnessing the downfall of Xuanyun Sect must be painful.
“Hmm… Sigh, what about Kexin, Shi Li, and the Master? What will happen to them?”
“I don’t know, all I know is the last person I encountered was Su Kexin. And as you know, I’ve come back.”
Lin Nuo shrugged. To be honest, he had no idea where Han Fairy and Qin Shili were; it seemed like after he was possessed, he had little connection with them.
“Since Kexin ultimately became your enemy, how can you still be close to her? Have you already let go of the hatred?”
Liu Shuqin was still concerned about Lin Nuo’s state, as she had always hoped he wouldn’t be blinded by hatred. Living life consumed by hate would be quite painful.
“Perhaps. It wouldn’t be right to call it hatred; the her now and the her back then are two different people. The current her has nothing for me to hate. You were right before; if a person is always engulfed in hatred, they are like a walking dead.”
Lin Nuo looked up at the sky and spoke calmly.
He was beginning to accept this way of living. After all this time, what with villains wanting to kill heroes and ruling the world, it all seemed less significant now.
But to completely let go of hatred was impossible; those who deserve to die still needed to pay the price.
“What are you all talking about? Is there some secret?”
Mu Yiting, clueless, listened in confusion, feeling like an outsider.
“Is it about your past, Lin Nuo?”
“Yes.”
“She knows, but I don’t?”
“She knows, but it’s not because I told her. This world is too bizarre; can you believe that someone who was supposed to die had their fate rewritten, and she later awakened her memories from her past life?”
Lin Nuo explained, with Mu Yiting still feeling lost, as she didn’t know much about Lin Nuo’s past.
“Can I invite you to my room to talk about your past? You seem to have had a tough time, and I’d love to be a listener.”
Mu Yiting said, but Liu Shuqin wasn’t pleased and quickly interjected:
“Junior Martial Brother, you know well that I’ve been your listener all this time. You can come to my room, or I can go to yours; we can talk all night. No one can listen to you better than me.”
“Didn’t you claim to know everything already? What do you need to listen to? Shouldn’t the one who knows nothing be informed by someone like me?”
“Knowing doesn’t mean it’s useful. This is your sorrowful matter; making him speak about it would just be rubbing salt in his wounds.”
“Whether it’s a wound or not isn’t your decision to make.”
Mu Yiting and Liu Shuqin went back and forth, their argument heating up, making Lin Nuo headachy.
“All right, we should get going. We can discuss these matters later.”
Lin Nuo interrupted their quarrel, deciding it was time to leave Tianling Mountain. This place wasn’t worth lingering at.
He needed to find Ruo’er and the others.
If the Sword Saint was reliable, Ruo’er would be safe.
He hadn’t dealt with the remaining forces of the Xuanyun Sect at all; after all, they were just a shell now, so letting them go was showing he had let go of part of his hatred.
The three mounted their swords and departed, swiftly flying back to their previous location while the sky was darkening, with sporadic thunder rumbling, so they had to fly lower.
This odd phenomenon had occurred before, with natural disasters and lightning strikes; Lin Nuo had nearly been struck down.
“There are not only calamities caused by man but also natural disasters. Even if I don’t get involved, this world is a chaotic mess.”
Lin Nuo muttered, pointing to the sky.
“Mu Yiting, what do you think of these natural disasters?”
“These natural disasters aren’t ordinary. From what I see, they might be caused by the Sacred Beasts of the Sacred Realm,” Mu Yiting replied.
