Chapter 85 The Continuing Pull

"You're talking nonsense!"

As he spoke, Su Yang's true essence surged, and he broke free from Lin Fan's embrace.

Then he slashed straight at him with his sword again.

The fierce aura it generated even left sword marks in many places in the room.

But even such a peerless sword strike was nothing more than that in Lin Fan's eyes at this moment.

He raised his fingers to form a sword shape, and then, to Su Yang's astonishment, firmly clamped the gray-white blade.

"Wan'er, why won't you believe me?"

Holding the sword blade between his fingers, Lin Fan explained again, "I know it's complicated, but Wan'er, you have to believe me, I am Lin Fan."

How do you prove it?

With a slight furrow in her brows, Su Yang simply refused to believe it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was in a dilemma.

How can this be proven?

Seeing his reaction, Su Yang sarcastically remarked, "What? Can't prove it?"

"Fine! You take this sword strike head-on. If it's really Lin Fan, he won't resist. Do you dare?"

The voice was like a cold knife, piercing straight into Lin Fan's ears.

Looking at Xu Wan's serious expression at that moment.

Lin Fan sighed, and then opened his chest in front of Su Yang.

"If this is the only way you'll believe me, then Wan'er, do it."

With his chest wide open, Lin Fan closed his eyes.

Su Yang sneered, still disbelieving: "Fine, if you die, don't blame me!"

After saying that, Su Yang thrust out his long sword.

The cold light flashed and even briefly grazed Lin Fan's face.

But he still showed no intention of dodging; he was gambling that his Wan'er would never hurt him.

He's betting on his Wan'er; if she has even the slightest suspicion that he's Lin Fan, he'll never be able to bring himself to do it!

He quietly felt the long sword's blade slice through the air and then thrust directly at him.

It drew ever closer, and even when it was right up to my heart, it did not slow down.

It was as if she really intended to kill him with a single sword strike.

"Wan'er, you won't do that."

Even under these circumstances, Lin Fan still murmured this in his heart.

His trust in Xu Wan was so profound!

In the end, just as Lin Fan had expected, Su Yang's sword strike stopped at the moment it pierced his heart.

Gently opening his eyes, Lin Fan knew he had made the right bet.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a face streaked with tears.

Unable to express his feelings, Lin Fan then gently walked around the longsword and stood in front of her.

He reached out and gently wiped away her tears.

"What's wrong? You're the one who's getting upset now, even though it wasn't me who was being pointed at with the sword?"

Her voice remained as gentle as ever, and even the doting look in her eyes at that moment seemed to melt one's heart!

Finally, unable to control herself any longer, Xu Wan buried her face in Lin Fan's arms and burst into tears!

"Why, why did you become like this! What happened?!"

She buried her face in Lin Fan's chest, her tears soaking his clothes.

A surge of heat rose in his chest, but Lin Fan could only sigh.

He knew that his current appearance might have truly frightened Xu Wan.

"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? I'm okay, really..."

He could only pat Xu Wan's back gently, while softly comforting her and selectively telling her what had happened.

She continued like this until she seemed to be tired of crying, at which point Su Yang reluctantly stopped, though she was still sobbing.

"Then are you really you?"

Her eyes were slightly red, and she tilted her head back slightly, but the question she uttered was so sharp.

Lin Fan remained silent.

Looking into Xu Wan's clear, autumn-like eyes, he really didn't want to lie; he wanted to tell her the truth.

He wanted to tell her that he might no longer just be Lin Fan.

But he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

How could he possibly utter such a cruel truth?

Moreover, does he really intend to use so-called truth to shatter the hearts of those who love him?

No, he can't do it.

If he could, he planned to lie to her for the rest of his life, using a white lie to let her live in his world that had never changed.

So in the end, Lin Fan simply nodded under Xu Wan's gaze.

Perhaps if it were someone else, given the atmosphere, they might actually have believed it.

But Su Yang was not the kind of person who followed the rules.

Biting her lip, her gaze was now filled with unspeakable and complicated emotions as she looked at Lin Fan, and then she said softly, "You lied to me."

Lin Fan felt a jolt in his heart and hadn't even realized what was happening.

Su Yang then pushed him away, right before the latter's shocked eyes.

Why did you lie to me? Do you really think I'm that fool who can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood?

Sobbing softly, Su Yang seemed to be heartbroken with disappointment at this moment.

He pressed his hand firmly against his chest, then backed away step by step until he was pressed against the wall.

Then, her eyes filled with tears again as she looked at Lin Fan, and under his puzzled gaze, she questioned him in a hoarse voice.

"Lin Fan, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

Right now, I'm not thinking about how much of you I am right now! I'm thinking about facing this issue together with you!

I don't care what's inside your body right now, because I love you, so I'll only face it with you and help you solve it!

Large tears slid down his cheeks, and Su Yang shook his head sadly: "But what about you? What are you thinking right now?"

You're probably worried that my feelings for you will change if I find out the truth.
