Chapter 1064: Life and Death

Chapter 1064: Life and Death (Part )
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiaoxiao, Gu Ri, Gu Yue and others who had already hated Liu Xunyi to the core all looked excited.

"Boom!"

However, when Luo Ningyu slowly raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at the cold and shining Wuji Sword and the sincere Liu Xunyi, she felt contempt and shame in her heart. She waved her sleeves in anger and knocked the Wuji Sword to the ground, saying angrily: "Why should I kill you? Can killing you bring grandpa back to life? Can killing you save my mother and Wudang disciples? I know you are not afraid of life and death, but if you want to threaten me with death to seek the comfort of your conscience... I tell you, it's impossible!"

"Ning Yu, I definitely don't mean that..."

"Liu Xunyi, if I wanted to kill you, how could you have survived until today? You knew I wouldn't kill you, but you deliberately tortured me, humiliated me, and forced me in this way... Have you become insidious and cunning? Or have I never seen your true face clearly?" At this moment, Luo Ningyu looked at Liu Xunyi with unprecedented indifference, and her tone was even more unfamiliar. "I used to like you so unyieldingly, so hopelessly obsessed with you, and so desperately in love with you... Now think about it, maybe I was really blind. I regret knowing you, and I regret liking you even more. What I regret most is... I didn't listen to my parents' advice earlier and stay away from people like you who are 'hidden'... Instead, I had fantasies, hoping that one day you would be as devoted to me as I like you... "

Luo Ningyu's words were like poison penetrating the intestines and like a steel knife scraping the bones, making Liu Xunyi sad and regretful, guilty and lost... For a moment, he was overwhelmed with a myriad of thoughts and mixed feelings, and he felt an indescribable complexity in his heart.

He stood there in a daze, thinking over and over again about Luo Ningyu's "condemnation", and was lost in deep thought for a long time.

"If it weren't for me liking you, Dad wouldn't have treated you differently, let alone kept you by my side with so many suspicions. If it weren't for me liking you, Dad wouldn't have indulged you again and again, let alone turned a blind eye to all the mistakes you made. They are right, if it weren't for me liking you... With your unclear origins and repeated insubordination, even if Dad didn't kill you, he would have driven you out of the mansion long ago, and would never have brought about the endless disasters today." Luo Ningyu laughed angrily at first, then covered her face and cried bitterly, "I should have thought long ago that I was not really innocent. On the contrary, I was the instigator, the culprit who caused my parents to separate and the Xianwang Mansion to fall apart... Why? Why should I like you? Why should I become a hindrance for my parents to avoid danger and seek good fortune? Why should I let the entire Xianwang Mansion pay such a painful price for my infatuation..."

“Ningyu, your words… make my heart ache and my liver break.” Looking at Luo Ningyu who was repenting wholeheartedly, Liu Xunyi’s face was filled with sorrow and he shed silent tears, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

"No! I've heard too many, too many 'sorry's'. Now... I don't want to hear your apology anymore."

After saying that, Luo Ningyu suddenly leaned forward, knelt on her knees, soaked her forehead in blood, and knelt in front of Liu Xunyi, sobbing, "You have always rejected me, so I can't blame you, I can only blame myself... I was young and ignorant. Now, I can't hate you. Because hating you will only make the resentment between us accumulate more and more, and make the fate of my mother and Wudang disciples... even more miserable. Now, the only thing I can do is beg! I beg you to have mercy on me once... just once, considering that we have known each other and that we share half the same blood..."

"Ningyu, you...what are you doing? Get up quickly..." Liu Xunyi was shocked and hurriedly helped her.

With his martial arts skills, it would be effortless for him to help Luo Ningyu up. However, Liu Xunyi did not insist on doing so.

Because he could clearly feel that Luo Ningyu had used all her strength to fight him. Her determination... was far greater than his brute force.

"Ningyu, what do you want me to do?"

The distressed Liu Xunyi fell to his knees with a plop, and his bleeding hands gently rested on Luo Ningyu's violently trembling back. He smiled with tears in his eyes, and said tenderly: "No matter what, you are my sister, my half-sister... Your anger, your resentment, your hatred... I accept it! I accept it all! Now, as long as you tell me, I will agree to anything you say..."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Xie Xuan, Xunzhen, and Wu Shuang suddenly changed. They wanted to remind him, but they felt it was inappropriate, and they were in a dilemma and felt very anxious.

"Yu'er, don't kneel down to him, and don't ask him for anything. He is our sworn enemy and the mortal enemy of Wudang. I would rather die than have you beg him for mercy..." At this moment, Ling Xiaoxiao was roaring like crazy. If Liu Zhong, Liu Yi, Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi had not stopped her, she would have rushed forward and desperately pulled the "cowardly" Luo Ningyu back.

"What do I want you to do?" Luo Ningyu's voice was like crying and laughing, sad and desperate, "If you don't want to evade me, don't want to deceive me, don't want to continue to hurt me... then don't play dumb! What I want... you know better than anyone else..."

"This……"

After Luo Ningyu mercilessly exposed the last layer of window paper, Liu Xunyi was shocked. He was stunned. In an instant, his heart was in turmoil and his mind was blank.

At the same time, his hands on Luo Ningyu's back could not help but slowly rise up. Just like his mood at the moment... hesitant.

“Let’s stop here!” Luo Ningyu raised her head angrily, holding onto Liu Xun’s tattered robe with both hands, and begged bitterly with tears, “The hatred between the two families ends here, and your killing also ends here… Let me collect the body of grandpa, and let my mother and the Wudang disciples live… We will give you the throne of ‘Wulin Alliance Leader’, and we will also give you the Xianwang Mansion. We don’t want any gold, silver, jewelry, shops, and fertile fields… We will give them all to you. I only ask you to let me take them away from here… I promise that after they return to Wudang, they will only live a stable life, and will never get involved in the disputes of the martial arts world, and will not seek revenge on you…”

"What nonsense!" Seeing Luo Ningyu humble herself in front of Liu Xunyi, Ling Xiaoxiao was anxious and annoyed, ashamed and hateful, and she kept yelling, "The Xianwang Mansion is our lifeline. It is the family business that your mother and your father have worked hard for more than 20 years, brick by brick. Why should we give it away? Yu'er, open your eyes and take a good look. Everything today is a trap they have carefully designed. You must not be stupid..."

"Liu Xunyi, at this critical moment...you must not be indecisive."

Ling Xiaoxiao on the other side was shouting at the top of her lungs to stop Luo Ningyu, while Wu Shuang on this side was also reminding Liu Xunyi with a veiled meaning: "If you let them go today, not only will they not appreciate it, but they will demand it back tenfold or a hundredfold in the future."

"Either don't do it, or do it to the end!" Xunzhen said sternly, his tone was extremely serious, "I put Miss Luo under house arrest because I was worried that her appearance would make you waver. Now that the war has been provoked, you must not give up halfway and be greedy for mercy. If you are indecisive and restless, not only will today's matter not be completely resolved, but it will also bury endless hidden dangers for tomorrow. The most important thing is that you are no longer a lonely person, but an important person who is involved in countless matters and is related to the life and death, honor and disgrace, and future destiny of countless people. Right now, countless pairs of eyes are staring at you. You, you must be extremely careful in your every move, every word and deed, and must not give others a reason to criticize you, let alone give others a handle. If you change your mind today, it may seem like you are giving in to Luo Ningyu, but in fact it will attract suspicion and doubt from ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand people. Liu Xunyi, you must understand one thing, today is not only the day for you to be vindicated, but also the time for you to establish your authority in the world. Killing with determination is neither selfishness, greed, nor cold-bloodedness. On the contrary, you are doing this to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains martial arts world, to raise a banner, and thus avoid greater killings in the future. "

"Kill one to warn the rest." Xie Xuan nodded repeatedly, "Xun Yi, although I have always treated Ning Yu as my own daughter, I am also very sad to see her so sad, but... no matter how reluctant I am, no matter how distressed I am, those who want to accomplish great things must not act on emotion, let alone be soft-hearted. Young Master Wu and Miss Xun Zhen spoke from the bottom of their hearts, and every word is a pearl. You must accept it with an open mind and must not act on emotion. Xie dares to guarantee it with his own life and property. If the Lord of the Mansion were still alive, he would never let his personal feelings affect the overall situation. You are his son, and you should emulate his calmness and decisiveness..."

"I'm sorry that I don't agree with what you three said."

Just as Xunzhen and the other two rushed to explain the pros and cons, and Liu Xunyi was hesitant, Su He, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't hold back his inner excitement, and resolutely spoke in front of thousands of people's attention: "Xunyi, you have been invincible since you came out of the cave, so you should forgive others when you can. Right now, Miss Luo has already knelt in front of you. Although the people of Wudang are indignant, they no longer provoke you with bad words, which is tantamount to surrendering to you. Why do you have to embarrass them in public? Or... insist on taking their lives? When you are in the martial arts world, you can't flatter and cater to everyone, and it's even more impossible to have everyone's support and no enemies. To solve the problem once and for all is simply deceiving yourself. If you wipe out Wudang today, won't there be other forces that will fight with you tomorrow? You are against it? I don't think so. As long as you, Liu Xunyi, live in this world, as long as you are famous in the martial arts world, there will be people who challenge you. As your power grows and your fame grows, you will inevitably make more and more friends, offend more and more enemies, and encounter more and more troubles. The martial arts world has never been harmonious. Therefore, a true hero who stands tall and upright never cares about others' hatred. Whether it is a challenge or revenge, he will not be afraid of anyone and will fight to the end. In my humble opinion, you should not be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. Instead, you should use "tigers and wolves" to urge yourself to become stronger, so as not to be complacent and lazy. "
