Chapter 935: Buried Together

Chapter 935: Buried Together

Lin Nuo felt like he was hearing a story. He thought that after being taken away, there was absolutely nothing good waiting for him, images of being dismembered and having his ashes scattered danced in his mind, and he even imagined Su Kexin doing something vile to his corpse.

But he never expected to be buried in a grand manner, and right on the mountain near Ru Yu Village, not far from his grandmother’s grave.

Is this something a human would do?

No, it’s something the protagonist would do to the villain?

Which absurd script has this kind of outrageous plot?

Lin Nuo looked at Xia Hanmo. Her expression was initially calm, but after laying flowers before Lin Nuo’s grave, she couldn’t help but burst into tears, the drops falling like rain.

It’s one thing for the old to send off the young—how could it not be heartbreaking?

Every time she came, it was the same; even if she didn’t want to cry, her tears betrayed her.

Seeing her like this made Lin Nuo feel uneasy.

“If this is true, you can control the passage of time here, so please fast forward to the moment she stops crying,” Lin Nuo said.

“Then she would have to leave.”

Su Kexin adjusted the flow of time, and Xia Hanmo stopped crying, but after paying her respects, she left anyway.

Lin Nuo felt a little reluctant, but seeing her tears, he decided it was better to not watch.

“This matter is extremely absurd.”

“Why is it absurd?” Su Kexin asked.

“What reason could you possibly have to make a grave for a great evil person? Let alone bury me so grandly? Are you kidding? To be honest, I have never discussed Ru Yu Village with you.”

“I’ve been to Ru Yu Village with my family; of course, I know your family’s situation.”

“Even if you know, that doesn’t justify giving me a grand burial.”

“Actually, you have saved my family.”

“Huh? How is that possible?”

Lin Nuo felt this was ridiculous. Wasn’t he the one who suffered in his past life? But in this life, it was true he had saved them, yet how could that be mixed together?

“You did it unintentionally. Because on the way to capture the Su Family Village, you killed the Demon Practitioners. This indirectly saved my family.”

“Your understanding of me is beyond comprehension.”

“Regardless, the outcome is indeed so. So, you deserve a tombstone. Though your family will grieve your death, they will also take pride in your ‘feats.’ Consider this a clean break between us,” Su Kexin said.

“What makes you think I would die?”

“If you didn’t die, many more would die, including me. So I had to do this. If you had turned back sooner, things wouldn’t have ended like this,” Su Kexin replied.

“Turn back? Ha.”

Lin Nuo scoffed coldly, preaching virtue without knowing the suffering of others, looking down from the moral high ground.

“You know nothing. What are you talking about? Come live my life for a while? I’m not like you, living a charmed life, practically the favored child of heaven. Everything you do seems so right!”

“I genuinely don’t know what you’ve been through. But your distortion is truly disappointing. You could have been a diligent cultivator. Even if you achieved nothing, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“Give me a break! Do you think I had the luxury to be at ease? Have you seen your Xuanyun Sect’s so-called elders, could they grant me any peace? Ha, what a joke. You’re just a lucky one; you have no idea what true suffering is.”

Lin Nuo disdainfully remarked, believing the protagonist to be favored by the heavenly laws while he himself struggled through hard work—what a farce.

Su Kexin fell silent for a moment, not responding. She didn’t know how much Lin Nuo had suffered, but he had become a tyrant, which was a crime; she had to eradicate him.

After a long while, Su Kexin spoke again:

“But aren’t you living quite well in this life? At least the past me relied on you so much. That kind of thing wouldn’t exist in our world. The old me didn’t dislike you, but I didn’t have any fondness either. You were my senior martial brother, and I respected you.”

“Honestly, if I had a way, I would have killed you long ago. The current you, and the past you, I’d take them both out.”

“You still have kindness, don’t you? If you had continued to live by the evil principles of your past life, the past me wouldn’t have shown you any favor.”

“Kindness, ha.”

Lin Nuo coldly laughed, a laugh that masked his true feelings.

Environment and experience can change a person; he transitioned from a naive and innocent boy to a shrewd and sinister tyrant, all because of his experiences. In contrast, he was no longer the severely antisocial and wicked person he used to be.

Deep down, he wasn’t completely an evil person.

But Lin Nuo didn’t want to admit that fact.

In the past, he wanted to be a good person, but it only resulted in being looked down upon and framed, while they got their just desserts.

He always held a belief—destiny dictated he was a villain, and if he sought to return to the so-called shore, other events would inevitably force him to become a villain.

So why not just see it through to the end?

Actually, he was still conflicted.

Because if one were to see it through, what one might receive is only tragedy, and such a grave would certainly appear.

“However, I do thank you for not telling my mother about my matters.”

“To be honest, even if I did, she wouldn’t believe it. You’re her pride, always will be, that’s undeniable.”

Su Kexin said, and at this moment Lin Nuo noticed that there were two empty plots left before his grave, the weeds there were not as overgrown as in other places, their area roughly matching his grave.

“What are the two empty plots for?”

“One is for your mother in the future.”

“What’s she going to do? Something foolish?”

“Nothing. But everyone will die eventually; such a day will come.”

“You’ve already thought about where to be buried. What about the other one? Don’t tell me it’s for my father?”

“No, it’s for me,” Su Kexin said flatly.

“What???”

Lin Nuo was perplexed; was she joking?

“What are you talking about? You want to be buried with me? Even if you wish, by the time you kick the bucket, my grave will be overgrown with weeds! Besides, you can’t die; your powers might ensure your immortality.”

“I hope that doesn’t happen.”

“Is immortality bad?” Lin Nuo retorted.

“I’ve lost all hope and meaning in life; even immortality would just be melancholy.”

“Just find a man and marry him then,” Lin Nuo quipped.

“I’m not interested.”

“Fine, then be a nun.”

Lin Nuo continued to tease, wasting a nice face—finding a good family should be easy.

“How will you meet the current me? Have you learned some incredible time-travel technique?” Lin Nuo asked.

“For me, this is just a dream,” Su Kexin said.

“A dream? So, am I dreaming too? We’re sharing a dream across time and space?”

“Sort of, but not really.”

Su Kexin spoke mysteriously, making Lin Nuo feel a bit dizzy.

It felt like they were playing a guessing game.

At that moment, the space began to warp a little; they sensed something was off.

What now?

A section behind Lin Nuo shattered like glass, and someone burst out.

Xiao Su.
