The magnificent dagger fell to the ground, and she stared blankly at Xue Ran, unable to utter a single word.
“Master…” Guan Yueyue’s tears had long since dried, as if she were trying to salvage the last vestige of her faith. She asked softly, “I have a heart condition because I’m not in good health, not… not because of any other reason, right?”
"If this other reason refers to me poisoning you, then it's true." Xue Ran said calmly, ignoring Guan Yueyue, who was having a mental breakdown because of his words. He walked straight to Feng Guang and smiled gently, "Feng Guang, I bought the candied hawthorns you wanted."
This gentleness was no different from the gentleness he had shown her in the past.
Ke Fengguang's heart turned cold. She took a step back uncontrollably. Even though his attitude towards her was no different than before, she was now terrified. He could even use Guan Yueyue, who had grown up by his side since childhood. What right did she have to believe that he simply liked her?
Xue Ran saw the fear in her eyes. He put the candied hawthorn in his hand on the stone table with a lot of trouble. Then, he moved suddenly and in the blink of an eye, he had grabbed Nangong Li by the neck.
"Little Li'er, you've revealed my secret. How should I punish you?" Xue Ran's eyes narrowed slightly. He was smiling, but his smile was more perfect than ever before, with a breathtaking allure.
I seem to see the shadow of Nangong Li in him... No, Nangong Li is outwardly alluring, swaggering to tell everyone that he is a dangerous man, while Xue Ran is reserved. When you get close to him because of his gentleness, you will not realize that you have stepped into the most dangerous territory.
It should be said that Nangong Li bears a resemblance to Xue Ran.
Upon hearing that gentle "Little Li'er," Nangong Li was stunned. Ignoring the pain from being choked, he called out uncertainly, "Master?"
"It's rare that you still remember your teacher." Xue Ran's thin lips curved slightly, his smile revealing a captivating charm.
"No...it's impossible, I killed him twelve years ago...you can't be him!"
Xue Ran sighed softly, "Little Li'er, you're really foolish. If I hadn't been killed by you, how could you have become the leader of the Demonic Sect?"
"Why...why..." Nangong Li gasped for breath, "Why did you blow me up?"
“Because the Demonic Sect was something I created when I was bored, and I’m already tired of it.” Xue Ran then said with pity, “I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn’t expect you to say things you shouldn’t have. Do you know that I haven’t killed anyone in a long time?”
Yes, he never kills people himself, because he has plenty of people to kill for him.
"Master! Please...don't kill him!" The ropes binding Guan Yueyue weren't tight, and she had somehow managed to break free. Still weak, she collapsed to the ground after taking only a few steps. She knelt at Xue Ran's feet, sobbing uncontrollably, "Master...I beg you...don't kill him..."
"Yueyue...don't beg him..." Nangong Li was poisoned internally and controlled externally. His face was gradually losing its color. If Xue Ran always maintained a gentle and considerate image in front of Qingyu and Guan Yueyue, then in front of Nangong Li, it was like a nightmare.
Yes, the master who taught him martial arts since childhood was the nightmare of Nangong Li's life. He still remembers that when he was very young, his master would teach him to read and write when he was in a good mood. When his master was bored, he would lock him up with wild beasts. If he survived, he would still be his disciple. If he died, he would become a delicious meal for wild beasts, just like the children before him.
No one understands this man's icy nature better than Nangong Li.
