"Ah Jin is asleep, Master, don't worry." Su Hu saw through the Master's purpose at a glance and told her to put her mind at ease.
The nun nodded in relief, then glanced at Shen Qianxue, lowered her head helplessly, and hurriedly turned away.
"Wait a minute," Shen Qianxue suddenly said.
The nun froze instantly, standing rooted to the spot.
Shen Qianxue stood up and took two steps forward. "Don't you think you owe me an apology?"
The nun slowly turned around, looked at Shen Qianxue, her eyes full of apology, but she didn't say a word.
She knew she owed Shen Qianxue, but could an apology erase everything? She didn't dare.
In truth, all Shen Qianxue wanted was an apology, to let him know that he wasn't a child deliberately abandoned by his mother, and that his mother had simply gone to do what she wanted.
Everyone blames Shen Qianxue for treating her mother coldly, but in the end, it is Shen's father who owes the nun a debt, not Shen Qianxue.
The nun truly owes Shen Qianxue an apology.
However, the nun did not understand.
This matter is not only a knot in Shen Qianxue's heart, but also a knot in the nun's heart. The nun doesn't know how to resolve this knot in her heart.
After more than a decade apart, the nun no longer understood her child.
Shen Qianxue chuckled softly, "Never mind, it doesn't matter whether it's there or not. I just wanted to tell you that I don't hate you anymore, and I don't resent you anymore."
The nun looked up in surprise.
Shen Qianxue's eyes were calm, and she truly harbored no resentment.
"Over the years, as the Phoenix Lord, I have held a supreme position. As you wished, I have lived a very good life, and I will definitely live an even better life in the future. I also hope that you can find the life you want and truly transcend the mundane world."
The nun burst into tears instantly.
In fact, Shen Qianxue always understood what the nun wanted.
"Qianxue..." the nun choked out, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Shen Qianxue turned away gently, having nothing more to say.
The nun looked at his tall, straight back, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but in the end she turned around.
My heart is set on Buddhism; I've dedicated my life to it, and there's no turning back...
The courtyard fell silent again.
This whole mess left Su Hu speechless.
So, Su Hu and Shen Qianxue stared at each other blankly for a whole night in the courtyard until dawn.
The next morning, bright sunlight streamed into the room. Su Jin rolled comfortably in bed, then yawned and opened her eyes.
She stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment, as memories of last night flooded back.
She went to find Shen Qianxue and even drank with him!
And then... I got drunk again...
Su Jin frowned, racking her brains, but she couldn't remember anything she had done last night.
Su Jin sat up angrily, feeling uneasy. Had she said anything she couldn't say?
Perhaps due to the medicinal wine, Su Jin did not feel too uncomfortable. She lifted the covers and got out of bed, and as she passed by the window, she saw a familiar figure.
Su Jin took two steps and ran to the window to look out. Shen Qianxue and Su Hu were sitting side by side on the steps by the door.
Hmm... one delicate and the other burly, sitting quietly, it's quite strange.
Actually, Shen Qianxue was quite strong on her own, but she looked rather petite standing next to the burly Su Hu.
Shen Qianxue noticed Su Jinxia, turned to look at her, and her eyes were somewhat gloomy.
Su Jinxia felt a chill run down her spine, a bad premonition creeping in.
Su Jin shrank back, opened the door, and immediately raised her hand to explain, "I was drunk. Whatever I did or said yesterday doesn't count. You don't need to take it seriously."
Su Hu glanced at Shen Qianxue, his eyes dim. If he was going to do something, he would do it to Shen Qianxue, and if he was going to say something, he would say it to Shen Qianxue. It had nothing to do with him.
Shen Qianxue lowered her eyes slightly, a faint sense of aloofness emanating from her.
Su Jin's heart tightened instantly. She wasn't afraid of Shen Qianxue getting angry or losing face; what she feared most was Shen Qianxue's aloof and indifferent demeanor.
In the past, Shen Qianxue always treated others this way, but today he was facing Su Jinxia.
Su Jin suddenly felt a sense of panic. Did Shen Qianxue think she was the same as everyone else?
really!
Shen Qianxue sighed, "Su Jinxia, as you wished, I have let go."
"ah?"
"From now on, I will not hate you, nor will I resent you, nor will I... love you again. Let's wipe the slate clean and let it all disappear..."
Su Jin felt a little dizzy and unsteady on her feet.
"Did I do something? You..." she said, sounding a little anxious.
Shen Qianxue interrupted softly, quite frankly, "No, I just realized one thing: feelings and love are the most hurtful things in this world. I don't want to be attached anymore, so I want to let go of myself and let go of you. You don't need to owe me anything anymore. From now on..."
Shen Qianxue took a deep breath and smiled with relief. "There's no need to say we'll never see each other again. After all, we've got quite a few things going on between us, and we'll inevitably run into each other again. So if we meet again, let's just be friends. We can still greet each other, or even help each other out."
"Don't worry, Phoenix Pavilion will still do its best to help you find the Tree of Withered Glory, and hope that you can live the life you want for the rest of your life."
Su Jin was completely stunned; she never expected to encounter Shen Qianxue like this.
Shen Qianxue took a step back, bowed, and clenched her fist. "Lord Liuli, farewell!"
A gentle breeze brushed against her face, ruffling her hair slightly, and Su Jin felt a pang of panic.
Shen Qianxue turned around, and Su Jin grabbed his hand immediately. "Why? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
Shen Qianxue looked at Su Jinxia strangely, "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
Su Jin down...
Yes, it was what she had always wanted, but it was all a lie...
"I……"
Su Jinxia didn't know where to begin, nor did she know if it was still possible to salvage the situation. She was completely stunned and tears streamed down her face.
Shen Qianxue tenderly reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, placed her hand on the back of her head, and gently pulled her into her arms. "Ajin, farewell. I hope you can find someone in the future whom you can wholeheartedly believe in and love without hesitation."
Withdrawing from her embrace, Shen Qianxue turned away without lingering and left gracefully.
Su Jin stood there, stunned and at a loss.
Su Hu stood there, stunned, somewhat bewildered.
Shen Qianxue clearly knew that Su Jinxia loved him, loved him to the core.
So why would he do that?
Judging from Chen Qianxue's previous behavior, she shouldn't give up so easily!
By the way, Shen Qianxue just said last night that his engagement with Su Jin hasn't been nullified yet!
Su Hu couldn't quite understand this man.
Su Jinxia was completely kept in the dark. She had no idea that Su Hu had already told Shen Qianxue everything that she had kept from her. So Su Jinxia didn't find it strange; she just felt conflicted and complicated.
If this had happened before, Su Jinxia would have been relieved that Shen Qianxue could finally live her own life properly.
But why am I so sad now?
