Xuanyuan Qi's forehead was covered with sweat. He subconsciously wanted to admit it, but he didn't dare to take that step: "Why did you look for him?"
Ling Xiang withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "I was originally going to settle the score with him, but now, forget it, it's not important. Sorry for disturbing you, goodbye."
"Xiang'er!" Seeing Ling Xiang leave in disappointment, Xuanyuan Qi became anxious and immediately tried to keep her.
Ling Xiang paused, turned around, and looked at the man with a very cold expression.
Xuanyuan Qi panicked. No matter how many concerns he had, they all collapsed in front of Ling Xiang, who turned disappointed and indifferent. Nothing was more important than her.
He took off his mask, revealing the handsome face of the Canglong Palace Master:
"I'm sorry, Xiang'er, I didn't mean it..."
"Not on purpose? Are you hiding from me or hiding your identity twice?" Ling Xiang laughed sarcastically.
"Palace Master, you and I already had an agreement that neither of us would bother the other, and neither of us would be responsible for the other. Palace Master, hiding away like this is really beneath your dignity and makes people look down on you."
Xuanyuan Qi immediately explained: "Xiang'er, I really don't want to hide from you, I just, I just can't see you..."
Ling Xiang smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter anymore, Palace Master, don't worry, I won't pester you, you don't have to make things difficult for yourself. From now on, we will just pretend we don't know each other. Goodbye, no, never see you again!"
Xuanyuan Qi was anxious. In a hurry, he waved his hand to put a ban on the box, preventing Ling Xiang from leaving: "Xiang'er! Don't leave yet! Let me explain!"
Ling Xiang was very calm. She turned around, picked up the teacup, and took a sip casually: "Okay, you talk, I listen."
"I..." Xuanyuan Qi didn't know how to explain to Ling Xiang. Without revealing his dragon identity, he didn't want to lie to her...
"If it's really difficult, you can just keep it to yourself. But it's pointless to lie."
"In the Fuxian Secret Realm, I didn't expect you to be with outsiders. I couldn't reveal my identity, so I didn't reveal it to you."
"Yeah, I understand." Ling Xiang changed to a leisurely and comfortable sitting posture, "But, there are no outsiders in the secret cave, right?"
Ling Xiang was willing to listen and could understand him, so Xuanyuan Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain:
"In the secret cave, I was originally going to confess my identity to you, but at first, Ling Xiao's immortal soul attracted all my attention. Later, I realized something was wrong inside. I was worried that you would have concerns after knowing my identity, and that being with me would be a burden, so..."
"So you think that facing an unfamiliar Canglong Palace Master, I won't have any psychological burden and can just walk away afterwards, right?" Ling Xiang nodded. "That makes sense!"
"Xiang'er, thank you for understanding me." Xuanyuan Qi finally felt relieved.
Ling Xiang smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "So, why did you avoid me afterwards?"
Xuanyuan Qi lowered his eyes: "I, I, I'm afraid that you will dislike me and don't want me..."
His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai, who always looked down on others, would also feel inferior? Why not make up a better excuse? Do you think she is stupid?
Ling Xiang was so angry that he almost laughed. He took out half of Ling Xiao's immortal soul and put it into the storage bag. He threw it on the table together with the Dragon Scale Sword.
"Thank you, Palace Master, for your consideration. We have known each other for a while, so let's part ways amicably and pursue our respective futures. If we meet again someday, there's no need to talk about the past."
Ling Xiang mobilized his spiritual power, intending to break the restriction by force.
Xuanyuan Qi panicked and grabbed Ling Xiang's hand: "Xiang'er! What I said is true! I swear! Don't be angry! If you want to make me angry, you can scold me or beat me! Please don't ignore me..."
Ling Xiang looked coldly at the hand that had crossed the line: "We agreed not to entangle, Palace Master, are you going to break your promise? Let go!"
Xuanyuan Qi made up his mind, hugged Ling Xiang into his arms, and said shamelessly:
"Xiang'er! I will never let go of you! I will never let go in this life! I am already yours, you have to be responsible for me! Responsible for my whole life!"
Ling Xiang had no expression on her face. She tried to pry Xuanyuan Qi's hands open, but Xuanyuan Qi was holding her too tightly and she couldn't pry them open.
She let go of his hand, letting him hold her, and said indifferently:
"Xuanyuan Qi, don't let me look down on you!"
Let them look down on me, he will never let me go!
Xuanyuan Qi hugged Ling Xiang tighter: "No matter how many mistakes I made, they are all my fault, Xiang'er, as long as you don't leave me, I will do whatever you want!"
"Didn't you leave me first?"
Ling Xiang despised herself from the bottom of her heart.
In the secret cave, when she realized that there was no other way out, she was willing to be with him. A big reason for this was that the Lord of Canglong Palace had saved everyone's lives. Even if it was to repay the favor, she would choose to give up her innocence in exchange for their survival.
She always thought she was very rational, but for a moment, when she saw that the man holding her was Xuanyuan Qi, she actually felt a little relieved.
Only then did she understand that reason could not defeat emotion. She was moved after all, and fell in love with Xuanyuan Qi.
She even thought that no matter how this was just a book, no matter what her future would be like, she would just stay with Xuanyuan Qi. At least she had gained something and at least she had paid something. Even if the final outcome was not good, she would not regret it.
But just when she made up her mind, Xuanyuan Qi ran away, he ran away!
She's like a joke!
She must have lost her mind to not be able to control her heart!
The soul-searching questioning made Xuanyuan Qi feel even more uncertain: "I do have my reasons, Xiang'er. I promise, when the time is right, I will explain it to you clearly!"
"I see."
Ling Xiang was so easy to talk to, but Xuanyuan Qi was a little surprised. He stared at Ling Xiang, as surprised as a child: "Really? You don't blame me anymore?"
"No wonder." Ling Xiang smiled, a self-deprecating smile.
"Who am I to blame you? We did everything voluntarily. No one has done anything wrong. We are not children anymore. We must be responsible for our actions."
Xuanyuan Qi was very happy: "Xiang'er..."
"You're strangling me."
"Oh!" Xuanyuan Qi quickly let go and stared at Ling Xiang with burning eyes, his eyes showing unconcealable happiness.
Ling Xiang took out the dagger and slashed hard at the robe, cutting it off:
"Xuanyuan Qi, I, Ling Xiang, sever ties with you today. All our previous cooperation is cancelled. From now on, we will be strangers and have nothing to do with each other!"
The smile on Xuanyuan Qi's face froze, and he looked at Ling Xiang in disbelief, not understanding why things had taken such a sudden turn for the worse.
"Why?"
"Because..." Ling Xiangfeng said calmly, "I don't tolerate any sand in my eyes! Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"
Ling Xiang tried to take off the ring on her hand, but failed. She hardened her heart, swung out the dagger, and chopped hard at the finger with the ring!
"No!" Xuanyuan Qi was horrified and caught Ling Xiang's dagger with his bare hands.
Blood flowed down the dagger and dripped onto the ground.
Xuanyuan Qi was really scared, afraid that Ling Xiang would do something to hurt herself, so she explained, "This ring can't be taken off. Even if you cut off your fingers or arms, you can't take it off. Don't hurt yourself."
