“I think what you said makes some sense. Why should everyone have to suffer because I’m unhappy?” Quan Cang pretended to think, then answered his own question: “Of course… if I’m unhappy, everyone in this world should pay for my unhappiness. Why should anyone else be able to live happily in this world?”
As he said this, Quan Cang laughed maniacally. Nangong Yu wanted to confront him, but Shangguan Xi stopped her and whispered, "Quan Cang is completely out of his mind now. He won't listen to anything you say, so it's better not to waste your breath. The most important thing now is to figure out how to get out of this place."
Nangong Yu stopped himself from saying what he wanted to say, but his eyes were full of resentment. He just looked at Quan Cang, puzzled and confused. When all the emotions surged into his heart, he felt like he was a fool.
After answering the question, Quan Cang straightened up, patted the almost non-existent dust off his hands, and said, "Alright, I think I've answered all my questions, so I'm leaving now. You all stay here and behave yourselves, but don't even think about causing me any trouble, or you'll regret ever being born!"
Quan Cang's words were like a demonic chant, lingering in everyone's ears. Only after Quan Cang left could everyone relax and catch their breath. "Do you think he's been keeping us trapped here for so long because Senior Sister is still alive? Does he want Senior Sister to come here and save us? If that's really his idea, I can only say that he's wrong. There's absolutely no chance of that happening."
"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you spouting here? Don't you think Senior Sister is still alive? She's just temporarily injured and can't come over. Don't say anything that curses her!" Nangong Yu patted Shangguan Xi twice, her gaze filled with disapproval.
Seeing Nangong Yu's continued self-deception, Shangguan Xi felt infuriated. She spoke sternly and seriously, "Nangong Yu, can you stop being so naive? The situation is clear. Senior Sister was badly injured, you saw it. Now, so much time has passed, and there's been no news at all. What are the chances of her surviving? If she were still alive, why wouldn't she come looking for us? And if she did, how could we have remained completely silent by now?"
Every word Shangguan Xi uttered pierced Nangong Yu's heart. Nangong Yu had always clung to this belief that Xu Yuehuai still existed, but now Shangguan Xi had personally shattered his only hope. He seemed to have lost himself, hanging his head, utterly dejected. "I understand everything you're saying, all these principles, but why can't you believe that Senior Sister is actually still alive? Or is it that in your heart, whether she's alive or not doesn't matter at all?"
Nangong Yu suddenly looked up and met Shangguan Xi's gaze. The silent exchange between them at that moment was deeply moving. It was as if a war without gunpowder had been launched at that instant, declaring war on them.
Shangguan Qi's lips moved, her eyelids drooped, but she couldn't say anything. Xuan Chi saw this and stepped forward to separate the two. "Senior Brother, what you said is a bit too much. Senior Sister Shangguan naturally doesn't want any of us to get hurt, but the facts are right in front of us. Even if she doesn't want to believe it, what can she do? You're just venting your emotions on Senior Sister."
“I know exactly what I’m doing right now. I don’t need your reminder. I’m telling you, even if none of you believe that Senior Sister is still alive, I still believe that she is not dead!” This was the first time these people had ever seen Nangong Yu roar with bloodshot eyes.
Xuan Chi tried to understand his emotions, but he couldn't quite grasp them. Fu Ziyi said lightly from the side, "Alright, you just like her and have feelings for her, so you don't allow anyone to say that she's dead. Everyone here knows what you're thinking. It's obvious, isn't it?"
Upon hearing these words combined, Nangong Yu's face immediately turned panicked. He took two steps forward, stood in front of Fu Ziyi, and grabbed his collar. "What nonsense are you spouting here?! Huh?! I'm asking you! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I said you like Xu Yuehuai! Is it so hard for me to understand these words? Everyone knows your feelings are so obvious, they're written all over your face. Please don't project your emotions onto everyone else, okay? In a life-or-death crisis, who cares about your petty romantic matters? Nobody cares, okay?" No matter how many times Fu Ziyi said it, he maintained the same attitude. Everyone around watched as the two of them were on the verge of exchanging blows.
One or two people who didn't know about this were shocked when they heard this for the first time. Their faces showed disbelief, and the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Nangong Yu's grip loosened considerably. Looking at him, as if all his strength had been drained, he was momentarily stunned. "I didn't, I didn't! Don't try to slander me! I didn't! This is all nonsense!"
Nangong Yu kept repeating this sentence, but Fu Ziyi had no interest in playing these silly games with him. He said directly, "Alright, I don't have time to waste with you. I'm telling you this not for any other reason than to help you understand your own feelings as soon as possible, so that your personal emotions don't affect everyone else, okay?"
After finishing speaking, Fu Ziyi returned to his seat and sat down next to Baili Xiuwen. As he sat down, Baili Xiuwen glanced at him twice. Fu Ziyi acted as if nothing had happened, while Nangong Yu seemed to have suffered a huge blow and was completely dejected. The two formed a stark contrast.
Shangguan Xi kept watching Nangong Yu, watching him say such things because of his own emotional issues. It was all rather unbelievable, but these words really did come from Nangong Yu's mouth.
Although the heir of the Nangong family does not live in the Nangong family on weekdays, everything he owns is extraordinary. Besides, after so many years, how could the heir of the Nangong family be just someone who talks and laughs all day long?
Shangguan Qi couldn't understand it. His joking and laughing were just a disguise he put on for himself. The real him should be very calm, at least not like this, so repulsive.
