Chapter 512 The love between children
"enough!"

When Luo Tianjin reached out to hold Xiao Zhirou's wrist, she suddenly shouted coldly, turned around quickly, looked at the affectionate Luo Tianjin with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Mr. Luo, you don't have to act in front of me! I am stupid, but I am not forgetful. I see your hypocrisy, your hypocrisy, your shamelessness, and your selfishness. I have been hurt and killed by you once, and there will never be a second time in this life! I came to you today because..."

"It's not important!" Luo Tianjin interrupted, "I know why you came, but that's not important at all! I just want to know, have you been doing well these years? Why do you keep hiding from me?"

"What does my life have to do with you?" Xiao Zhirou said, "As for why I'm hiding from you? Humph! This is ridiculous. I wish I could kill you with my own hands now!"

"If you want, you can do it anytime!" Luo Tianjin opened his arms, looking fearless and ready to sacrifice himself. "I know I have committed serious sins. Even if I die a hundred or a thousand times, it won't be enough to make up for it. You can hate me, and you should hate me. If you kill me for this, I will have no regrets. But before I die, I just want to ask one thing. Why didn't you even give me a chance to explain? You would rather jump off a cliff and commit suicide than wait for me to come back. Could it be that in your heart... I have been a liar who did not keep his word from the beginning?"

Luo Tianjin's words instantly filled Xiao Zhirou's eyes with anger.

"What a shameless scoundrel!" Xiao Zhirou scolded indignantly, "Where is your conscience when you say this? If I had known that you were a liar, why would I have gone against the advice of my parents and clansmen and helped you out of trouble again and again? You said I didn't want to give you a chance to explain? You said I didn't want to wait for you to come back? What is your intention? Could it be that your conscience has been eaten by a dog?"

"This……"

Luo Tianjin looked at the furious Xiao Zhirou blankly, and stammered, "Rou'er, what do you mean? I... why am I getting more confused the more I listen?"

"Confused? Humph! I think you are pretending to be confused on purpose!"

Xiao Zhirou laughed in anger. Although she was furious in her heart, she couldn't help but shed tears of grievance, which made her feel ashamed, annoyed and humiliated.

Seeing Xiao Zhirou's heartbroken and pitiful appearance, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Rou'er, that's not what I meant, I meant..."

"That's it!"

Xiao Zhirou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying her best to calm herself down. She said calmly, "There's no need to talk about the past. I don't want to talk about it anymore!"

"no!"

Luo Tianjin waved his hand and said angrily: "Even if I die, you must let me die knowingly! Rou'er, today you and I must explain everything clearly. It was obviously you who refused to wait for me to return and insisted on seeking death, so why are you accusing me of being heartless and ungrateful now?"

"Shameless!" Xiao Zhirou's beautiful eyes stared coldly at Luo Tianjin who was pressing him, and she said angrily, "How can there be such a shameless person like you in the world? Luo, you are not only unworthy of being a human being, you are even worse than an animal!"

"No matter how you scold me, I will ask clearly!" Luo Tianjin said stubbornly, "Back then, I deceived Chief Teng and you. I deliberately concealed my family background, which was indeed despicable and shameless. However, my feelings for you are witnessed by the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely no falsehood... Back then, after I escaped from Xiangxi, I did hesitate whether to go back to find you, and I did delay for a while, because my wife was pregnant at the time, and I was afraid that she would get a miscarriage after knowing our relationship, so I did not go back to find you in time. But after my daughter was born, I immediately sent people to Xiangxi to find your whereabouts, but I got the sad news that you had died for love..."

When Xiao Zhirou learned that the reason why Luo Tianjin did not return was because Ling Xiaoxiao was pregnant, she could not help but feel sad and heartbroken.

Little did people know that Xiao Zhirou was also pregnant with Luo Tianjin's child at that time, but her situation was completely different from Ling Xiaoxiao's.

Luo Tianjing can abandon Xiao Zhirou to take Ling Xiaoxiao's feelings into consideration. But when Xiao Zhirou goes to Luoyang to find Luo Tianjing after going through untold hardships, what awaits her is cold swords and waves of killers.

Two women who deeply love the same man have completely different circumstances. How could Xiao Zhirou not be filled with grief, anger and disheartened?
Seeing Xiao Zhirou's soul in disarray and tears pouring down her cheeks, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but feel moved. He swore to the heavens, "I swear, I sent a large number of people to look for you everywhere..."

"Hehe..." Xiao Zhirou cried silently, smiling with hatred, "You sent people to look for me, just to cut off the roots and eliminate the trouble forever. You are worried that you will be discovered by Ling Xiaoxiao while you are having affairs outside, which will affect your relationship with Wudang Sect, so you wish to kill me. Only in this way can you rest assured and continue to be a good husband in front of Ling Xiaoxiao and a good son-in-law in front of the head of Wudang Sect."

"What?" Luo Tianjin was shocked and asked in astonishment, "Rou'er, how could you think of me as such a mean person? I...how could I send someone to kill you? I hope you are safe and hope you live a happy life..."

"Huh! How ridiculous."

At this moment, no matter what Luo Tianjin said, Xiao Zhirou would not believe it. She said with disdain, "As the leader of the martial arts world, you dare not take the responsibility. Mr. Luo, there are only you and me here. Do you still want to pretend to be so arrogant? Are you afraid that there are ears on the other side of the wall, or are you worried that I will dig up your past and announce your despicable behavior to the world?"

At this moment, Luo Tianjin finally heard a clue from Xiao Zhirou's words. He frowned and a hint of consideration flashed in his eyes. He asked suspiciously, "You mean... someone has hunted you down in my name?"

Xiao Zhirou's eyes moved, and she looked at Luo Tianjin, who had a solemn face, in disbelief, and sneered, "Your hypocritical face is really disgusting!"

"No!"

Luo Tianjin didn't care how Xiao Zhirou evaluated him. He suddenly rushed to Xiao Zhirou and, regardless of her objection, resolutely grabbed her arm and said seriously, "Something is fishy. There seems to be a huge misunderstanding between you and me."

"joke……"

"Listen to me!" Without waiting for Xiao Zhirou to shake off his hand, Luo Tianjin said righteously, "Rou'er, I, Luo Tianjin, swear to heaven that I have never done anything to hurt you. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning, die a miserable death, have no descendants, and be infamous forever!"

Seeing that Luo Tianjin's feelings were sincere and did not seem fake, Xiao Zhirou couldn't help but feel a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"Tell me, who was it that hunted you down in my name?" At this moment, Luo Tianjin's tone was extremely gloomy, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was chilling. "From the time I left Xiangxi until you decided to die, what happened in the meantime?" Under Luo Tianjin's barrage of questions, Xiao Zhirou finally compromised and recalled, "Not long after you left Xiangxi, I... went to Luoyang City to look for you."

"What?" Luo Tianjin's face suddenly changed, and he was extremely shocked. "You have been to Luoyang City? Why didn't I know about it?"

The force between Luo Tianjin's fingers was getting stronger and stronger. Xiao Zhirou seemed to be able to feel his fear and excitement. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "After I arrived in Luoyang City, I hadn't found out the location of the Xianwang Mansion, but I had already encountered a murderous disaster. Someone poisoned the food in the inn. Fortunately, I was...unwell at the time, so I escaped. That night, another assassin sneaked into my guest room and wanted to hack me to death. Fortunately, I was prepared and set up a trap in the room in advance, so I escaped from danger again."

"hiss!"

Xiao Zhirou's words were as sharp as a knife, making Luo Tianjin's face turn extremely ugly. He was extremely frightened, angry, and depressed in his heart.

"Then what?" Luo Tianjin asked impatiently, "Then what?"

"Then I fled Luoyang City overnight, but your minions refused to give up and chased me all the way, finally forcing me into a dilapidated temple outside Xiangyang City."

At this moment, Luo Tianjin seemed to be in the scene himself. Perhaps due to nervousness or a recurrence of his injury, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"And then?" Luo Tianjin's throat tightened, and he asked tremblingly, "How can you be sure that they were assassins sent by me? Could it be that... they revealed their identities themselves?"

"Jiang Yiwei!"

Finally, Xiao Zhirou slowly uttered three words, which made Luo Tianjin feel like he was hit by a hammer. He was stunned and at a loss.

"Rou'er, what you mean is..." Luo Tianjin swallowed hard, and said in disbelief, "Among the people who hunted you back then... was Jiang Yiwei?"

"Back then, it was him who forced me into the ruined temple outside Xiangyang City."

"Then...what happened next..."

"I was already in a desperate situation and was doomed to die. But at the moment of death, Jiang Yiwei suddenly felt compassion and decided to spare me..." Xiao Zhirou recalled, "So I was able to save my life."

"You thought I was the mastermind behind this, so you had no desire to live and wanted to die for love..."

"I feel guilty towards my parents and my clansmen, so I died to apologize. It has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Zhirou straightened her expression and said coldly, "I still remember the old hatred vividly. Jiang Yiwei took action personally, and you still dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"This..." Luo Tianjin was so confused that he didn't know how to explain himself. "How could this happen? From the beginning to the end, I knew nothing about this matter. And Jiang Yiwei, how dare he act on his own..."

"If Jiang Yiwei hadn't spared my life, I wouldn't have agreed to his request last night and fought Yun Zhuiyue for you."

"What?" Luo Tianjin was stunned, then suddenly realized, "So you helped me to repay Jiang Yiwei for not killing you. So, the person who used his true energy to save Jiang Yiwei's life last night... was also you?"

"Pretending!" Xiao Zhirou said angrily, "Do you think I'm trying to trick you?"

"No!" Luo Tianjin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I absolutely believe what you say, I just... I can't believe that Jiang Yiwei is so bold. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you a satisfactory explanation!"

"No need!" Xiao Zhirou said disdainfully, "Whether it's true or not, it's all in the past. 'Teng Rou' is dead, and those old things should be buried with her."

Seeing Xiao Zhirou being so heartless, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but show grief on his face, and asked unwillingly: "If the truth is found out, it was a misunderstanding back then, will you... forgive me?"

"Luo, you deceived my parents and clansmen, and deceived my feelings. These are not misunderstandings, right?" Xiao Zhirou taunted, "Don't forget, you have a family, a wife and children. I advise you on behalf of your wife, you made a huge mistake back then, don't be stubborn and keep making the same mistake again and again."

After saying that, Xiao Zhirou struggled to shake off Luo Tianjin's hand and took two steps back.

Luo Tianjin hesitated as he looked at Xiao Zhirou with complicated eyes, and murmured, "Rou'er, do you really have no feelings for me anymore?"

"no!"

Xiao Zhirou suddenly turned around, no longer looking directly into Luo Tianjin's eyes, and said coldly: "I am no longer the simple and ignorant Teng Rou of the past. Therefore, I only despise you, a hypocritical hypocrite, and have no feelings for you!"
