Chapter 716: I Will Bring You Back to the Right Path

Chapter 716: I Will Bring You Back to the Right Path

Zhao Kuo, who was always looking to stir trouble, had conveniently found Lin Nuo’s secret. Now, your Qin Shili’s husband interacts intimately with other girls—recognizing Lin Nuo’s true colors, are you regretting it now?

“Oh, thank you! Where are they?”

“Qin girl, today is a wonderful day. Your husband is not accompanying you but instead is gallivanting with other girls. I really feel for you. I did mention he was flirtatious with them before.”

“Thank you for the information, but this is my family matter, I’ll handle it myself. May I ask where they went?”

“Qin girl, it’s not that I’m meddling, I’m just offering some advice. This kind of betrayal…”

“Sorry, I have matters to attend to, excuse me.”

Qin Shili quickly left; there was no point in wasting time with Zhao Kuo when he wouldn’t get to the point.

Zhao Kuo was waiting for the drama to unfold, but how could he see them being harmonious? A breakup would be just fine.

Qin Dao said there would be a grand show today; he wondered where he was and needed to find him.

Zhao Kuo was bold enough to ambush the Qin family now, and not just him; people from Dong Wei were coming too.

Leading the charge from Dong Wei was a spirit master named Huang Yun, skilled in resisting demon practitioners.

Why was he here? This was suggested by Qin Dao. He didn’t quite know what to expect, just there to watch the show.

Now with Huang Yun also here, he greeted Zhao Kuo with respect.

“Master Huang, I truly appreciate your presence today.”

“Zhao Young Master invited me; it’s my honor. Besides, the spirit platform is completed today, and as a spirit master, I should be here to witness it.”

The Zhao family and Dong Wei had quite the influence; other nobles had to bow down before them.

Qin Zhu, the master of the Qin family, didn’t want to host them; however, since they were here, he had to pretend to be a good host.

As for Qin Dao, he was also present, waiting for everyone to gather to witness Qin Zhu announce the completion of the spirit platform. With so many people around, it was a perfect opportunity for Qin Shili and her family’s downfall.

……

Liu Shuqin had yet to grasp Lin Nuo’s intentions from their conversation—was it a refusal or acceptance? It was all muddled, and she couldn’t discern the meaning.

Talking with Lin Nuo was quite a challenge; he spouted profound words now and then.

“Junior Martial Brother, am I imagining things, or have you been in a fleeing situation before?” Liu Shuqin whispered.

“Just assume I’ve been through it. Now think of me as one of those villains; would you still wish to stand by your decision?”

“I…”

Liu Shuqin paused; she wasn’t one to make commitments lightly. She needed to consider carefully.

She never imagined that Lin Nuo would turn into a villain.

She didn’t want to associate with evildoers, but she also didn’t want to give up on Lin Nuo.

“Junior Martial Brother, I don’t know what you’ve been through. From what I heard, if you are a villain, you weren’t born that way. You’ve encountered disappointment, misunderstandings, and confusion, leading you down that path. If I were to say I’d stand by a villain, that would contradict the very purpose of cultivation.”

“Fine. Let’s pretend today never happened; everyone disperse.”

Lin Nuo shrugged—now that it had come to this, they could only become enemies. What was there to discuss about marriage? Did they think heroes and demons could just come together after a fight?

Impossible. Once enemies, it’s life and death. He hadn’t seen anyone pair up in his past life.

However, Liu Shuqin raised her voice and declared seriously:

“But Junior Martial Brother, if you become a villain, I would still like you. That’s too childish. If it comes to that, I will definitely not let you become a villain. I will bring you back to the right path.”

“What? The right path?”

Lin Nuo was taken aback; she really said she would bring him back to the right path.

What a joke. He had already died once; now that he was alive, why not just live well? Trying to bring a villain back to the righteous path—was that realistic?

“Don’t you find your words even more childish?”

Lin Nuo couldn’t help but laugh. This was indeed a big joke.

“It’s not childish; I’m serious. I understand you don’t have faith in me, Junior Martial Brother, but I will certainly do my best to accomplish this.”

“Oh, good. I’m really looking forward to seeing how you’ll bring me back. If you can do it, I’ll go to the Liu family to propose, and I will marry you.”

Lin Nuo laughed again. This was already preordained; he was the big villain, destined for no redemption but to rely on himself—talking about bringing him back to the right path was utterly ridiculous.

Just then, Qin Shili, who had just arrived, heard Lin Nuo laughingly say those words, “marry you.”

Suddenly, the cold wind howled, and the grass froze; Lin Nuo felt a sudden chill.

Wait, this scene feels familiar?

Indeed, he turned to see a silver-haired girl, cold as ice, rushing towards him.

Oh, you’ve come at just the right time.

Well, she was here now; it wasn’t like he hadn’t seen her before.

“Lin Nuo, did you say you want to marry her?”

Qin Shili’s icy words were laced with bitterness, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

“Yes, Junior Martial Brother has promised to marry me,” Liu Shuqin interjected before Lin Nuo could respond. She hadn’t said anything wrong, but there was a condition.

“No need for you to answer; I only want Lin Nuo’s response.”

Qin Shili had approached Lin Nuo, holding back her anger, preventing an outburst.

“I have no thoughts of marrying anyone at the moment,” Lin Nuo replied.

“What about the future? Will you marry her?”

“The future is uncertain; I was merely stating a possibility. It’s like wondering whether you will still follow me a month from now. Who knows? Yet her possibilities seem crazier than yours,” Lin Nuo shrugged.

“But you still made a promise, right?”

“Promise? That was not a promise. Let’s say this: within a month, what happens next will subvert all your perceptions. But will you still stay calm then?”

Lin Nuo shook his head, giving a cold smirk.

“Right now, you all are bickering, swearing eternal love; is there any meaning in that? There isn’t. Promises are worthless; reality changes thoughts. I have no free time to ensure whether you can still hold on to your beliefs.”

Lin Nuo didn’t reveal what it was; before that day arrived, he couldn’t trust any of these women.

He turned around and started heading back towards the spirit platform.

“It’s about time; we should return. You can argue all you want; please keep your composure today.”

He waved his hand and began walking. Qin Shili shot a glare at Liu Shuqin and hurriedly caught up with Lin Nuo, linking her arm with his.

“You seem a bit upset,” Qin Shili asked.

“No, I’m perfectly fine. Are you still planning to question me?”

“No more. Asking will only make me look foolish; you’re not marrying her right away, so I’ll wait for what you said about a month.”

Watching Lin Nuo and Qin Shili walk away, Liu Shuqin felt a pang in her heart, deeply hurt.

But she gradually understood the scenes from her dreams.

Perhaps it was a potential future.

And she needed to change that possibility.

……

At the spirit platform, Qin Dao saw Qin Shili return; he had a plan, and everything was ready.

However, he didn’t know this was the beginning of a nightmare.
