C155 Cardiac Knot

"And after that?"

Qin Shi walked over with a pained heart.

She took a deep breath and said, her eyes unfocused, "My family has passed away. My young self has experienced the cold and warmth of the human world, but that fake pity is simply for the sake of gaining benefits or beauty from me."

"I have been betrayed by the secular world time and time again. However, just when I thought that I would never have another chance, I met my adoptive father and mother. They were an old couple, but they had no children, so they adopted me as their own daughter. " Xue Xin's words were filled with sorrow.

Qin Xuexin clenched her fist tightly, and at this moment, her beautiful eyes flashed with faint tears. "At my foster father's and mother's home, I once again feel the warmth of the human world. Finally, after experiencing three years in the mortal world, I am gradually breaking free from the knots in my heart."

"That year, I was ten years old." It was the faint voice of Xue Xin.

Qin Shi was a little stunned at the side. Logically speaking, this should be something worth celebrating, but he still felt that it wasn't that simple. Especially the tears in her eyes made him raise his eyebrows. "Then where are they now?"

As expected, at this point, Xue Xin choked with sobs. After a long time, she let her tears fall, "They … They... "Dead!"

"Dead?"

Qin Shi was shocked.

Qin Xuexin bit her red lips in grief. "Un, when I opened the knot in my heart, I thought that I could live with my adoptive father and mother for the rest of my life, but I never thought that … The group of people in blood-red robes once again broke the tranquility of my life. They are like the executioners who took away my happiness once again. "

Clang! Clang!

Shocked, Qin Shi widened his eyes in disbelief. "They killed your adoptive parents?"

Hearing that, Xue Xin's body trembled and nodded while shedding tears. That kind of grief made her wish she was dead: "I will never forget the scene of my adoptive parents screaming at me to leave when they fell in front of me in a pool of blood. I never repay them … "It's me who harmed them …"

"It's me who harmed them …"

The sound of weeping echoed throughout the cave.

Qin Shi was shocked in his heart. He originally wanted Xue Xin's family to be exterminated just for the sake of avenging the enemies of the mortal world, but how was he to explain this second time?

Who were those people wearing blood-red robes? What kind of goal did he have?

To be able to be so cruel, this made a weak girl die several times.

Without waiting for him to speak, Qin Xuexin pursed her red lips and said, "Later on, after ten years, whenever I opened my heart and revealed my true emotions, the people around me would suffer the revenge of that group of people. I was just like the rumors in the world, the lone star of the heavenly calamity …"

Qin Shi was silent.

Only now did he understand that he had underestimated Xue Xin. How much courage would it take for a girl to survive such grief?

This kind of courage was even more admirable than having her die.

After listening to Xin Xue's past, Qin Shi clenched his fists tightly. Only then did he realize how guilty he was. "Just how inhumane am I …" "How could he be so heartless …"

"How could I bear to expose this girl in front of me without caring about the consequences? Just thinking about it is enough for her to feel a scar as painful as being cut by a knife …" For some reason, Qin Shi felt the urge to protect this girl in front of him.

At this moment, he finally understood Xue Xin's words.

If he had known earlier, he would have lost her. There was no need for him to get acquainted with her. After all, she was a stranger.

It turned out that those words were not unintentional, but more directly stated the desire for emotion in Xue Xin's heart, and further elaborated her helplessness for her fate.

"So she was always forcing me, always telling me that she didn't need anyone's help, just that she didn't want to implicate me?" Remembering his misunderstanding of Qin Xuexin, he lowered his head in remorse. "So, I was the one who wronged her."

Within the cave, a cold wind blew past.

"My heart has died a long time ago. I will never open it to anyone, and will be frozen by a thousand years of ice." He seemed to be talking to himself as he spat out the words gloomily in her heart.

Qin Shi hesitated, "I think that there might be someone who can open the knot in your heart."

"Perhaps …" "But at least for now, I won't …" Xue Xin's voice caused people to feel tender affection towards him.

As she said this, her eyes glanced at Qin Shi as an indescribable light flashed through her clear and beautiful eyes. "Perhaps one day, when I am able to personally kill that group of people in blood-red robes, there will be a person I hope he can enter my heart with."

Coincidentally, their gazes met, causing Qin Shi to be at a loss.

He wasn't sure if this person was referring to him. His eyes darted around as he suddenly stood up and pulled Qin Xuexin to the cave entrance. He said, "Silly girl, don't be fooled by hatred. Isn't it because of that bit of humanity that people live once?"

"Some people say that on the path of cultivation, one must abandon the seven emotions and cut off all six desires." As he spoke to here, Qin Shi laughed brilliantly. "But, I, Qin Shi, don't think that the reason why I cultivate with the sword is to protect the people I want to protect. If I can't even do that, then what's the point of living with a body full of cultivation?"

Qin Xuexin's heart trembled slightly as she said, "But, I am the Heaven's Fearless Lonely Star."

"Nonsense, you're so beautiful, if it were all Heaven Destroyer, then what would have happened if you were so young that you looked like a cracked jujube?" Can't he be some netherworld demon? " Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, Qin Shi smiled at her.

"Puchi!"

Finally, his stiff expression was amused by Qin Shi's words.

"Aiya, don't move!" But at this moment, Qin Shi suddenly shouted.

This shout scared her heart out of her wits, causing her to freeze on the spot. She carefully asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't move, it's like this." Qin Shi raised his hand, and the thumb and forefinger of his two hands formed a rectangular frame, facing the heart covered in snow. Then, he put his hand to his chest, and laughed, "It's rare to see you laughing, so of course I'll record it down. This way, if you continue to make faces at me next time, I'll have some hope in my heart."

Looking at Qin Shi's actions, Xue Xin covered her face and laughed. "Sometimes, you really have no sense of propriety."

"Haha, I have a sister who always talks about me that way." Qin Shi's heart trembled as he looked at that sweet smile. At this moment, he didn't know what sort of heart he had for Qin Xue. However, he knew that his heart was throbbing like it had never been before. "Smile more in the future."

Qin Xuexin did not reply, but nodded.

Then, he suddenly became more serious as he pointed to the clouds above the cliff, "Xue Xin, look at the sky. Even if the fog is thicker, there will still be a day when it is blown away by the strong wind and the azure sky appears again."

After saying this, he turned around and faced her. "I believe that your heart is the same. It is only with love and loyalty that you can live. You can't be alone for too long." Saying this, he patted his chest, "If possible, I wish I was the one who entered your heart, the one who unfrozen your heart with blazing warmth."

"I, don't wait. It's now."

Qin Shi said sincerely, "We are friends, right?"

The two words' friend 'caused her to be stunned. This time, it was really too heavy for her. She lowered her head and said after a while, "You, aren't you afraid of me? "If you make friends with me, you might lose your life …"

"What are you afraid of? If you were afraid, then I would've thrown you into the lake of blood just now, silly girl. " Unexpectedly, Qin Shi scolded loudly, and then very naturally, he patted her on the heart, "Come on, this time I'm almost a psychological expert. To tell you the truth, I'll just show off to you and you. If there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce you to a few of my friends.

"En!"

This time, Qin Xuexin did not refuse.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" At this moment, Qin Shi had been standing there for a long time. He was bleeding from his back, causing his facial features to twist as he sucked in a breath of cold air.

When Qin Xuexin saw this, she hurriedly went forward to support Qin Shi. She helped him into the cave and sat down, treating the wound on his back.

Feeling the warmth in his heart, Qin Shi suddenly discovered that this seemingly cold girl was actually a very small and delicate little girl. Although in less than twenty years, she had suffered through many hardships and was still just a little girl who had yet to experience deep emotions.

However, this ignorance only further increased Qin Shi's desire to protect him.

"Xue Xin …"

"My name is Qin Xuexin …"

"…" Qin Shi hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Xue Xin. He was a bit speechless. "Didn't I just say that we're friends?"

"But …" But, isn't such an intimate way of addressing Xue Xin something only people who love each other can call? " Qin Xuexin lowered her head in embarrassment.

Qin Shi was speechless. "Pah! What kind of logic is this? "Then my title 'Stone' is even more intimate. If a bunch of men call me 'Stone', then wouldn't it be a problem for this young master to have this kind of relationship with you?"

"Then …"

"Then what? Then it's Xue Xin." Qin Shi interrupted her without giving her a chance to finish her sentence. He changed the topic. "Right, are you trapping yourself under Heartless Cliff to shut yourself up?"

"No."

"Five years ago, my master accepted me and invited me to join the Azure Snow Sect." Qin Xuexin shook her head and said, "Now, I'm the spirit daughter of the Green Snow Sect."

"The Green Snow Sect?"

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes, he had never heard of this sect before. "Which sect is it from?"

"Is the Green Snow Sect a sect that the Crimson Flame Emperor Kingdom, such a large empire, can control?" As she spoke to here, Qin Xuexin gradually retracted her sorrow and said, "Just the external disciples of the Green Snow Sect alone may be able to flatten the entire Crimson Flame Emperor Kingdom without the need to fly!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss …"

Qin Shi drew in a breath of cold air, "Are you joking?"

"I won't lie to you." Unexpectedly, Qin Xue Xin looked at Qin Shi seriously. "That place is a height that you can't even look up to now …"

Hearing this, Qin Shi became serious.

He could clearly see the sincerity in Xue Xin's eyes. He knew that Xue Xin wasn't lying to him.

"Can't you touch it?"

Licking his chapped lips, Qin Shi thought to himself, "Even if I am on the clouds, there will come a day when I will ride the clouds and leave." Thinking about this, he opened his mouth and said, "Then, what about the spirit girls from the Cyan Snow Sect? You must be very powerful, right? "

"Mysterious Spirit Realm!"
