Xie Wei closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, feeling utterly distressed.
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Fine, let them test me if they want. Anyway, I don't care about my body anymore."
Once the great revenge is avenged, the Yan family is safe, and the world is at peace, what is there to fear in death?

Yan Ling escorted Jiang Xue Ning back to her residence, and the journey was unusually quiet.
There seemed to be a suspicious flush on her cheeks.
Jiang Xuening got out of the car and couldn't help but ask, "Yan Ling, what's wrong with you today?"
You're usually the most talkative one, always telling me about the exciting and interesting things happening outside, your little mouth chattering away. But today you're so quiet. Are you not feeling well?
"No, no," Yan Ling said stubbornly, though her heart was pounding and she was in a state of utter confusion.
Because all along the way, he kept thinking about Chu Yuan saying that she admired him.
In fact, he knew that he was quite popular with women. He came from a prominent family, was skilled in martial arts, and had a handsome appearance. He was often pelted with handkerchiefs and sachets by noble ladies at banquets, who wanted to win his heart and marry into the Yongyi Marquis's family.
But ever since he was old enough to understand, he has been very clear about his feelings. The only person he wants to marry in this life is Ningning.
Unfortunately, Ningning doesn't seem to think that way.
It wasn't obvious before, but ever since she slapped Chen Jie when they were all drunk together last time, her whole demeanor has subtly changed.
That day, outside Baiguo Temple, the lanterns were just lit, and the night breeze was cool. They reminisced about many things from the past. Ningning was so moved that she cried and asked him why he was so foolish and so good to her. She said she didn't deserve it, that she would grow up, become bad, and become the last thing he wanted to see.
That was the first time he had seen Ningning's emotional side unfold before him.
He thought this was a sign that Ningning was responding, and that his protection had finally earned her a glance back.
So he couldn't help himself and almost kissed her lips, but he pushed her away forcefully and ran away.
After that, Ningning kept saying that she only considered him a friend.
Hearing these words, he felt desolate and aching, but there was nothing he could do.
He could only pretend nothing had happened and continue to protect her as before.
He clung to a sliver of unrealistic hope that during his coming-of-age ceremony, he could ask Ningning to marry him in front of everyone. Whether Ningning agreed or not, it would be his last attempt.
She sought a resolution to the love she had cherished for four years.
At this moment, another woman suddenly appeared, showing concern for him, warning him, and saying she liked him. Yanling was panicked and didn't know what to do.
What alarmed him wasn't that someone liked him, but that he didn't dislike You Yue, and didn't dislike You Yue saying she liked him.
Even then, he couldn't bring himself to tell her to have some self-respect.
What's wrong with him?
