Chapter 1529 - 1527: You Betrayed Me, So It’s Only Right That I Kill You
Even though there wasn’t an inch of intact skin on her body, she didn’t even appear as a complete human form.
Qiu Xi’s beautiful eyes were still as bright as the starry sky, staring directly at Lan Zhengqing.
She even called out slowly.
"Young Master Lan..."
"Young... Master... Lan..."
It seemed like a plea, yet also a wail.
But whatever she actually meant, Lan Zhengqing completely disregarded it, or perhaps couldn’t tell.
On one hand, Qiu Xi had lost half her face, partly bloody and indistinct, partly skeletal, making it impossible to discern her current expression.
On the other hand, Lan Zhengqing had completely lost his mind, utterly oblivious to his actions, uninterested in them.
Who would care about the life or death of a refugee?
Yet it was precisely these two calls that made Lan Zhengqing pause.
Hoo—
Hoo—
Hoo—
Lan Zhengqing exhaled heavily three times, his eye twitching fiercely.
He closed his eyes, calming the anger in his heart.
Qiu Xi eagerly awaited, hoping that when Lan Zhengqing opened his eyes again, he would regain his senses and save her.
However.
She was wrong once again.
Lan Zhengqing quickly opened his eyes, and although he had regained his sanity, he was still cold to the bone, even more indifferent than the snow flying outside.
He glanced at Qiu Xi without saying a word, not even willing to look at her again.
He stood up straight away and turned around.
"Young... Young Master Lan..."
Qiu Xi panicked, if Lan Zhengqing were to leave like this, she would surely die!
Could he truly be so heartless?
She had followed him for so many years, helped him through countless dangerous situations, and even if she had no achievements, she certainly endured hardships, yet now he not only lost his reason and beat her into this state, but also seemed intent on abandoning her without even a glance.
Is this really the refined and elegant Lan Zhengqing who sheltered so many refugees?!
Lan Zhengqing stopped but didn’t turn back.
"Save... Save me..."
Seeing Lan Zhengqing stop, Qiu Xi’s heart trembled, thinking perhaps he was feeling guilty.
Strangely, she felt oddly happy.
Despite her present state, neither human nor ghost, neither alive nor dead, at least in Lan Zhengqing’s heart, she had a tiny bit of significance, at least her death would cause him slight regret.
In an instant, she forgave his earlier mania.
Forgave him for nearly killing her.
The wounds in her heart slowly began to heal, the tall and magnificent Lan Zhengqing once again occupied her mind.
"Lan..."
She was about to comfort Lan Zhengqing, to ease his sorrow.
But then.
Lan Zhengqing’s back suddenly emitted an icy laugh.
"Hehe—"
Qiu Xi was abruptly stunned, her heart suffocating with pain.
"Just a refugee, what right do you have for me to save you? And earlier, did you actually think I cared about your life or death? Ridiculous, it’s laughable! Would I care about an ant’s life or death? If not, why would I care about a refugee’s life, even less than that of an ant?!"
"You betrayed me, I kill you, it’s justifiable. Since you secretly met Lin Fan and tried to hide it from me, there’s absolutely no way you can stay alive. Refugees like you are nothing more than ticking time bombs, likely to destroy all my efforts over the years. The ones outside are my loyal dogs; I won’t let a traitor like you contact them."
"Moreover, were you somewhat happy, thinking I would feel sad for you, perhaps even save you? Stop deluding yourself; ants remain ants, refugees remain refugees, forever unchanged. In your next life, strive to be a real person."
"Hehe."
Lan Zhengqing spoke calmly, then turned and walked towards the door.
Qiu Xi was utterly dumbfounded by these words.
These words meant she completely misunderstood Lan Zhengqing earlier. Not only did he not care about her, he was determined to have her dead! Simply because she secretly contacted Lin Fan, without telling him. Was that enough reason for her to die?!
She couldn’t believe these words came from Lan Zhengqing.
But the reality was as such.
Lan Zhengqing’s cold and heartless words represented his ultimate intent.
An ant remains an ant, a refugee remains a refugee.
Qiu Xi’s mind echoed with these words, prompting a bitter smile.
Perhaps.
Lin Fan was right.
Lan Zhengqing truly didn’t care about refugees; he merely exploited them for his ends. Once achieved, he’d unhesitatingly discard or even kill them, ensuring their cooperation never leaked.
Burning bridges after crossing, this was Lan Zhengqing’s specialty.
Qiu Xi was ultimately in despair.
Completely despaired!
She gazed at Lan Zhengqing’s silhouette at the door, tearful in one eye, blood gushing from the other.
Her heart was a mix of emotions, conflicted feelings.
She definitely didn’t want to die, didn’t want to die like this!
She wanted to reveal Lan Zhengqing’s true intentions to all refugees; even without their belief, she had to disclose the truth!
However.
She was in such a state, resembling a dead person.
Death was merely a matter of time.
Qiu Xi was unwilling, yet what could unwillingness achieve.
All was blamed on her trust in Lan Zhengqing, without the slightest suspicion or defense, allowing him to easily annihilate her.
Furthermore.
Lan Zhengqing stood at the doorway observing the outside circumstances, likely preparing a stealth attack to kill Lin Fan.
Yet she was powerless to assist, merely offering silent blessings to Lin Fan.
Meanwhile.
"Lin... Fan... be... careful..."
She used all her final strength to shout, yet her voice remained weak, unheard even by Lan Zhengqing.
Qiu Xi’s vision darkened, her head tilted to one side.
Lan Zhengqing had completely disregarded Qiu Xi, the person who led the Ice Cicada Sect, resolving countless issues for him.
She was one of the most talented refugees he had ever seen!
Fully meeting his ideal assassin profile.
Unfortunately.
This individual actually betrayed him, secretly meeting Lin Fan!
Lin Fan was like a plague, once in contact, inevitably infected, entirely unavoidable! No wonder Qiu Xi seemed off, this was the reason! She unknowingly carried Lin Fan’s detestable aura, utterly revolting!
Moreover.
Lin Fan was like stubborn adhesive, impossible to shake off.
Not only did he seize the Divine Phoenix during the chaos, now he’s abruptly returned for unknown reasons.
Damn it...
Lan Zhengqing peered through the door gap, brows furrowed, coldly watching Lin Fan and observing the outside situation.
Seeing Lin Fan standing amidst thousands of refugees, neither servile nor arrogant, unflustered, his demeanor extremely composed.
An entirely distinctive aura emanated from him.
Such pressure had never been felt before!
Lan Zhengqing’s eyes brightened. Could this kid... have increased in Cultivation?! How could that be, in this short time, how did Cultivation grow so rapidly?!
Yet he indeed sensed the shift in Lin Fan’s aura, gulping audibly, his eyes astonished.
