Chapter 456 Mistaking Admiration for Love

Su Yang did not avoid Ji Xingzhi at all and directly told her about Hua Yihen's movements in recent years, as if he was a spy arranged by Ji Xingzhi to be beside Hua Yihen.

Over the years, Hua Yihen has not only been frequently assassinated, but has also often gone out in order to catch those people. There is a man named Yu Xi by Hua Yihen's side who will come out to rescue him when Hua Yihen is in danger. Yu Xi is also helping Hua Yihen to catch those people, but unfortunately there has been no progress over the years.

In addition, the thing Hua Yihen has never given up is looking for Xue Zhao, that is, Ji Xingzhi.

Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown after hearing what Su Yang said: "Yuxi? Is he a good-looking man in his twenties who always has a stern face?"

Su Yang thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, do you know him?"

Ji Xingzhi's eyes were slightly cold, and she smiled chillingly. She squinted her eyes and said, "Haha, very familiar."

Putting Yu Xi aside, when Ji Xingzhi heard that Su Yang had used his body to block countless swords and knives for Hua Yihen over the past decade, Ji Xingzhi simply didn't know what to say.

"Are you trying to live?" Ji Xingzhi still remembers that time when she accidentally blocked a sword for Hua Yihen. That feeling was really uncomfortable and the wound was really painful.

Su Yang smiled nonchalantly and said, "You said that he was completely devoted to you just because you blocked one of his swords. I blocked so many swords for him, so why doesn't he like me?"

Ji Xingzhi touched her nose awkwardly, not knowing what to say, so she could only perfunctorily say, "Maybe the first time is more memorable."

When Su Yang heard this, he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, I am so good, there is no reason for him not to like me."

Ji Xingzhi: “…”

As the two were talking, Su Yang suddenly took off his clothes and showed Ji Xingzhi his back. There were deep and shallow scars on his snow-white back, some from knives and some from arrows. Ji Xingzhi felt pain just looking at it, and deeply felt that for Su Yang, falling in love with someone else might not be a bad thing. Just by looking at the scars on Su Yang's body, Ji Xingzhi could imagine how hard Su Yang's life had been over the years.

Looking at Su Yang, who was tying his belt with a normal expression, Ji Xingzhi asked, "Su Yang, have you ever hated me?"

Su Yang paused slightly and said, "I've resented it, but I wouldn't say I hate him. It wasn't until I met Ziyao that I realized that love isn't something you can achieve simply by being with him. I've been with the prince for decades, but he's still obsessed with you, with whom we've only been together for a little over a month. Xu Chang has been with me for decades, but I've only ever thought of the prince. Now, I've only known Ziyao for a few months, and he's already taken the place the prince once held in my heart. I'm thinking, Ziyao easily pushed the prince out of my heart. Perhaps I've been wrong all along, mistaking admiration for love."

Su Yang is right. Companionship does not necessarily lead to love, but companionship is indispensable to love.

Ji Xingzhi didn't want to continue this heavy topic. Even if Su Yang was more open-minded now, she would never forget the injuries she had suffered. Ji Xingzhi still remembered the pain of the sword piercing her flesh.

Ji Xingzhi said: "Maybe."

After saying that, Ji Xingzhi calmly changed the subject and told Su Yang about his and Hua Yihen's plan. Su Yang also thought that this plan was feasible and was preparing to find a way to notify Xu Chang and others who were imprisoned.

Ji Xingzhi went to the next room.
