"What do you think of human nature in this world?" Su Yin asked Qian Yue calmly. It was rare to see Su Yin like this, which made Qian Yue feel strange.
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Su Yin continued quietly, "Hatred, deception, exploitation, betrayal, cruelty, indifference... Is this true for everyone in the world? Or is it just a product of this era?" Although Su Yin said this to Qian Yue, she looked straight at Xi Chen who was standing behind Qian Yue. It was visibly that his body stiffened in an instant.
It turns out that everything has an answer.
Su Yin finally spoke out the doubts she'd been harboring for a long time. She felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. She'd been a student for over a decade, before she'd even truly experienced human nature in society, and was forced into this strange world. She'd spent several days with a cruel man, had her memory wiped, and then been abandoned. And then... it was all just a scam, one scam after another.
No, to be more precise, her entire life since she met Qianyue had been filled with deception and exploitation, and she was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed. She was so tired, so tired...but no one could give her an answer.
"I really want to go home." She said with a choked voice. This place was so cold and cruel. She really didn't want to stay here any longer.
"No matter what happens, I will protect you." It was as if he had returned to those nights in Shenghan Mountain. In the darkness, every time he opened his eyes, a small face, filled with anxiety and fear, would appear before him.
Although she still slept carefree, her features were filled with a deep sense of unease. Only in the darkness, under the starry sky, could he examine her carefully, without having to consider the reactions of some idiot. Perhaps, on that particular night, her face, every bit of her, was etched deeply into his heart, never to be erased.
Protect her? Su Yin was stunned. She had never expected Qian Yue to say such a thing. Protect her, yes, since she had known him, although he had been a bit fierce in the past, but what about after that? After she regained her memory, all she saw was how good he was to her. Yes, Su Yin was stupid, foolish, which was why she was always deceived and manipulated by others, but that didn't mean she couldn't tell who was treating her well. On the contrary, she was the one who understood best...
There was a hint of light in Qian Yue's golden pupils, so they were just captured in such a strong gaze. Su Yin moved his lips and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a sudden shaking around him.
Obviously they also felt it. The huge shaking like a mountain shaking and the earth shaking caused the already dilapidated palace to begin to collapse. The tiles and bricks of the palace began to flutter and fall, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"What's going on!" Qian Yue shouted anxiously, and immediately pulled Su Yin behind him as the accident happened. His usually cold face was also tinged with a hint of urgency.
No one answered him, and an even greater shaking ensued, as if thousands of horses were galloping, and the entire world was shaking violently.
Just as everyone had steady their pace, they heard a voice transmitted through spiritual power, saying, "Ancient Jade has appeared prematurely! Hundreds of beasts are suddenly attacking. Please gather in the front hall to fight the enemy together!"
"Damn it!" Qian Yue cursed, looking at the frightened Su Yin behind him. After a brief moment's thought, he led Su Yin to the front hall without hesitation. With her by his side, he was more or less confident of her safety. Leaving her alone somewhere... Qian Yue shuddered, quickening his pace slightly, not daring to think any further.
She lay dumbly in Qian Yue's arms, still letting him carry her at full speed, while the others behind her also quickly caught up...
