"Easier said than done, you're still too young."
Kongxi shook his head and let out a cold laugh.
"So, you lured me here just to talk about this?" Aoqian didn't have the time to chat with Kongxi, and Kongxi was obviously the same. If it weren't for that person, the two of them would never have been able to talk like this.
“Of course not. What I just told you was all from the bottom of my heart. I already know that she and I have become strangers, but after all, she is someone I watched grow up, and I only want her to have a better life.” At this point, Kongxi suddenly paused, her eyes flashing with a sharp light as she looked at Aoqian.
"Do you really know the whole truth about the Red Capital Rebellion?"
As soon as that sentence fell, Aoqian's face darkened.
I admit, you're a genius, on par with her, both capable of manipulating events with a flick of your wrist given time. However, do you think you have that much time left to grow? Putting everything else aside, just this time, if she hadn't threatened to kill herself, how would you have kept her?
He is very good at precise strikes, especially since there is a huge gap between him and Aoqian now.
This point, without needing any explanation, was perfectly clear to Aoqian.
Song Xiwei's threat of suicide, which nearly cost her her life, was a source of deep pain for Aoqian.
If he is powerful enough and fearless, then who would dare to harm a single hair on his head?
Ultimately, he wanted to be on par with Song Xiwei, but growth is not something that can be achieved overnight. If someone intentionally became a stumbling block in the gap, his and Song Xiwei's path forward would definitely not be difficult.
"Besides, we have a blood feud between us. If I spare your life, there's no guarantee you won't seek revenge when you've grown powerful enough. Do you think it's necessary for me to release a tiger back into the mountains just for the sake of a promise to her?" The gap gradually chipped away at Aoqian's vulnerability.
He had lived for countless millennia and was well-versed in manipulating people's hearts.
Ao Qian is at most a teenager. He has some ability, but the current gap is not something he can overcome with wishful thinking.
"So, you're going to kill me? Since the outcome is the same anyway, why bother telling me so much?"
Aoqian closed his eyes, resigning himself to his fate.
He smiled bitterly. In this situation, what else could he do but accept his fate?
He was really being delusional; how could the enemy possibly give him the opportunity to grow stronger?
“If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. But if you died, my relationship with her would definitely deteriorate further. Although I can’t do anything about her right now and can only silently accept being cut off by her, I believe that with the passage of time, things will not be irreversible. Therefore, I will not kill you with my own hands.”
He spoke candidly during a rare moment of free time.
Aoqian looked up and met the unfathomable eyes in the gap.
"What are your conditions?" Ao Qian asked sharply.
"Dealing with smart people is indeed effortless." Each word from the gap pierced Ao Qian's heart like a sharp blade.
"How exactly did the calamity of Chidu originate? Do you really think you can simply attribute it to my clone, Zelin, and gloss over it? Aoqian, there are some things I won't explain, but you should know what kind of person you are. She refuses to give up on you and wants to help you out; it's out of kindness that she's willing to give you a chance to start over. But you should understand that she has light within her and shouldn't be mired in darkness with you. Once Chidu returns to your hands, what do you think her fate will be?"
