Xia Tan'er's way of speaking was as sharp as ever, which really stung Feng Muchi's heart. If he hadn't known that she might have something to hide, just the words "we are not from the same place" would have made Feng Muchi sad for several days.
As for now, he has to try his best to look distressed, as uncomfortable as the performance is, at least to the point where Xia Tan'er regrets it after watching it.
"Tan'er, how can you say that? Have you forgotten the path we have traveled together?"
Feng Muchi looked at Xia Tan'er with tears in his eyes, his innocent pupils filled with grief. At this moment, he was like an abandoned child, even the clothes of the last person who loved him were gone. I can't even grasp the corner.
Xia Tan'er's eyes flashed slightly and she subconsciously glanced over.
At this glance, Feng Muchi was very sure that Xia Tan'er's strange behavior must have been forced.
If this is the case, then he will help Xia Tan'er perform this scene thoroughly!
"It's just a road. You walk with whomever you walk with."
Xia Tan'er's tone gradually softened, and she tilted her head, not daring to look into Feng Muchi's eyes. She just knew how much Feng Muchi lacked love, so she really couldn't bear to say hurtful words to him.
Xiling Che watched as the atmosphere in front of him gradually eased, knowing that if he didn't take action, the two of them would get back together again.
He didn't care about Dong Lingjiu, but he was jealous of Feng Muchi. Why did Feng Muchi get everyone's favor even though he had no mother by his side since he was a child? Even if he wanted to kill Xia Tan'er, Xia Tan'er would eventually kill him. He stayed by his side to teach him and protect him.
And even if he escaped from the purgatory on earth and finally survived, he would still not be favored by God in the slightest.
Xiling Che changed his grip to pull Xia Tan'er to his side, his possessive desire for Xia Tan'er ready to come out in his eyes.
"Ah Che will accompany you on the rest of your sister's journey. Ah Che will never let anyone hurt your sister in the slightest!"
"Um?"
What's going on?
Xia Tan'er lowered her head and looked at Xilingche's hand holding hers, and then looked at Xilingche's face. She hurriedly wanted to take her hand back, but Xilingche held it tightly and couldn't move it no matter what.
At that moment, Xia Tan'er really couldn't tell whether Xiling Che blurted out out of anger or really had this intention.
"Sister, didn't you say you wanted to walk around the palace to relieve yourself after eating? It's getting late. Che will accompany you."
Regardless of whether Xia Tan'er agreed or not, Xiling Che picked up Xia Tan'er and left, never giving Xia Tan'er a chance to talk to Feng Muchi again.
Feng Muchi became more and more angry as he watched, and punched the tree trunk next to him. There was only a click, and the arm-thick tree trunk broke on the spot.
After walking far away and seeing no other outsiders on the path, Xia Tan'er shook off her bound hands and stared at Xiling Che with disgust.
Xiling Che, however, didn't realize that he was at all wrong, and faced Xia Tan'er's scrutiny with a magnanimous expression.
"Both the left and right will become enemies, so why should you be soft-hearted at this time? Xia Tan'er, you are too soft-hearted, and you were too soft-hearted when you fell off the cliff. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't be threatened by me today."
"This is not called soft-hearted, this is called human nature. How can you understand the nature of saving people when you kill people like crazy?"
"What a human being."
Xiling Che's face was full of contempt. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Xia Tan'er's naivety or at her overestimation of her abilities.
"Who of your so-called human nature didn't hurt you when you were at your most helpless? Now you want to save their lives. Xia Tan'er, you think you are too noble. Just ask the people in the palace. Who among these people will accept your friendship? I am afraid that they will not know that they were only one step away from death until they die."
"So you still want to talk to me about your so-called human nature?"
I don't know if he was angry or because he felt too much, but Xiling Che blurted out his scolding words one after another. It seemed that he was angry for Xia Tan'er, but he was not doing it for his weak self.
