Chapter 115 How to Choose
"This was your idea, wasn't it?" Yun Xiang was curious about why Bian Xuan had come to the Yun family. Given Yun Xi's personality, would Bian Xuan truly connect with her? The answer was definitely impossible.
...Bian Xuan had never expected Yun Xiang to guess her identity, and even more so to expose her mercilessly. From that moment on, she knew that she would never get the photo stone back, so she must not leave any evidence behind. "How could that be? I don't even know you."
"Don't you know me? You just called me sister Yun Xiang. Has my hearing deteriorated?" Yun Xiang refused to give in.
"I...I just heard Xixi say that sister, you——"
"You dare to meddle in other people's affairs just by listening to what others say? What's your purpose?" Yun Xiang pressed on. Bian Xuan regretted it to death. She shouldn't have provoked her. It didn't matter to her. It didn't affect her at all. She was just too impatient.
"What purpose? I don't even—" Bian Xuan pretended to be forced by Yun Xiang and took a few steps back. She stumbled beside Yun Xi, who hurriedly supported her. "What purpose could it be? Can't you just vent your anger for me?"
Idiot! Yun Xiang and Bian Xuan cursed in their hearts at the same time.
His interrogation was interrupted, and it was almost impossible to make the other party reveal his true intentions. Yun Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to that idiot Yun Xi, so he just said "good luck" and turned away.
"Do you think she will tell my mother?" Yunxi's face was filled with panic. Although she could get whatever she wanted in the Yun family and appeared to be fearless, she was actually very afraid of two people. The first was her cousin, and the second was her mother.
"I don't know." Bian Xuan looked annoyed. She was more worried than Yunxi that the photo stone would fall into the hands of Bai Feng (Yunxi's mother).
"You...what's wrong with you?" Yunxi, the naive girl, just realized that Bian Xuan was in a bad mood.
This idiot, if it weren't for her words, she would be so irritable! He even asked her what was wrong. The key was that she couldn't get angry, she had to coax him. Bian Xuan almost vomited blood, "It's okay, I'm just worried about you."
"Xuanxuan, you are so nice!" Yunxi grabbed Bianxuan's hand and shook it.
In the past, Bian Xuan liked Yunxi's dependence on her, but now... she was really annoyed!
"Or, I'll go back and confess to my mother!" Yunxi really didn't want to bear her mother's anger.
"No!" Bian Xuan shouted sternly.
Just kidding, if Bai Feng knew that she had instigated one of her daughters to plot against the other, what good would she have in store for her? What if... what if... Bian Xuan shook her hard, absolutely not.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you talking to me so loudly? If you can't think of a solution, can't I think of it myself?" Yunxi pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You--" Bian Xuan almost choked to death, "I'm not calling you, I'm just too anxious." Yunxi didn't say a word.
"You know your mother's character, and if she knew about this, wouldn't you be utterly humiliated?"
"Uh," Yunxi shuddered, "No... No, my mother absolutely cannot know about this. Hurry... Hurry and think of a solution for me."
"Don't worry," Bian Xuan looked around, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk."
"Yeah, Xuanxuan, you're the best."... Yun Xiang, who walked out from the corner, looked at Bian Xuan, who was obviously staggering a little, and laughed out loud.
Yunxi had been accustomed to being flattered since childhood, so she couldn't stand being bullied, let alone considering other people's feelings. Bian Xuan couldn't control Yunxi simply by flattering her. When necessary, she had to be harsh, using both soft and hard tactics. It seemed that Bian Xuan hadn't yet completely mastered Yunxi.
What should she do? Yun Xiang looked at the photo stone and fell into silence, not even noticing Xie Yu's arrival.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Why are you here? Aren't you busy today?" Yun Xiang looked at Xie Yu in surprise.
The first major Xie Yu chose was the Manufacturing Department, which was half a school away from her Planting Department, so it was not easy for them to meet.
"Well, there's not much to do today. What are you thinking about?" He had actually been there for a while, thinking that she would notice him. Alas, he was just being too sentimental.
Yun Xiang saw his expression and understood instantly, "I have to make another difficult decision." Yun Xiang handed the photo stone to Xie Yu.
"Are you worried about getting more and more involved with the Yun family?" Xie Yu asked this because he knew how much Yun Xiang resisted the Yun family.
Yun Xiang nodded. "But I also want to know the truth. It's contradictory, right?"
"That depends on which one is more important in your heart. So what if they are deeply involved? Just look at your own choice. For example, the Xie family and I actually don't have much relationship anymore. The only people I have contact with are my uncle's family." Yun Xiang looked at Xie Yu in surprise.
"What? You don't believe it?" Xie Yu raised his eyebrows.
Yun Xiang shook his head and said, "I believe it."
Xie Yu's eyes became profound. "I once stayed in the main house for a while. At that time, my uncle had just taken over the Xie family, and my aunt had passed away due to illness. My uncle had to take care of Brother Shaohui and manage family affairs, so he was very busy. I suggested returning to the Xie family's old house.
The old man had long known that I had good talent and wanted to keep someone close to him. This was the perfect opportunity, so he hired a martial artist for me the next day. This martial artist was an S-level awakener, and his swordsmanship was very impressive, but he was a bit cruel and didn't hold back when he struck.
Yun wanted to see that Xie Yu's eyes were unfocused and his tone was soft, as if he was telling someone else's story. Her heart suddenly tightened and she held his hand tightly.
Xie Yuhui held her hand and said, "I was young at that time and could not beat him. He often beat me until my skin was torn and bloody under various excuses. You also know that I was very stubborn. The more he beat me, the more I resisted, and the more excited he became. I still remember that face until now." Xie Yu narrowed his eyes, and the face seemed to become clearer.
"Ayu——"
"Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to find the old man. But he was very clever. Every time he beat me to the point of dying, he would put me in the recovery room. By the time I could get up and complain, my injuries would have mostly healed.
The old man took it seriously at first, but when he realized I was fine, he thought I was being delicate and that boys needed to be tempered, so he stopped caring. He probably forgot that things like repair chambers and healing potions existed in the world.
Xie Yu shrugged. "The more I complained, the more impatient he became. He would lecture me using that person's words. That was the first time I felt that I had to rely on myself for everything."
After that, I devoted myself to studying, observing, and practicing, striving to defeat him in the areas he excelled in.” Xie Yu paused for a long time after saying this.
"You—defeated him?" Yun Xiang asked softly. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.
In fact, she really wanted to ask him why he didn't ask his uncle for help, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that he was afraid of getting the same answer as Mr. Xie, which would leave him without any relatives. So he would rather endure it than take the risk.
He lost his parents at a young age and lived under someone else's roof, trembling with fear. In fact, he was very sensitive and insecure at that time. But if he had been more confident, asking his uncle for help would have been another possibility.
"...I guess so. Later, that martial artist became more and more arrogant and didn't know how to restrain himself. He often punched and kicked me in front of everyone."
