Yang Chen remembered she called him a beast if he ever dared to touch Hui Lin. It seemed like no matter how angry she was, she would never forget the words she said before.
At the thought of this, his anger towards Lin Ruoxi diminished. It turned into guilt, he was the one who failed to resolve the conflict.
Yang Chen bent down silently and helped Hui Lin up. Seeing her dazed expression aggravated him, âAre you dumb? You shouldâve protected yourself with True Yuan even if youâre not fighting back!â
âIâŠâ Tears pooled in Hui Linâs eyes, âI didnât want to hurt herâŠâ
âDo you think she can be easily hurt after cultivating with my technique? Even if sheâs only in the Houtian stage, your shield would barely lay a scratch on her!â Yang Chen was speechless with her innocence.
Hui Lin hung her head low, she couldnât bring herself to fight her sister.
Yang Chen sighed and spoke to Lin Ruoxi gently, âRuoxi, donât do this. No matter how angry you are, I should be the one making it up to you. Hui Lin calls you sister but sheâs not related to you. Donât you think that itâs unfair for you to vent your anger on her?â
âAre you saying that you can have sex with anyone whoâs not related to me?â Lin Ruoxi snickered.
Yang Chen shook her head, âYou know thatâs not what I meant. Iâve wronged you and betrayed you but arenât you the one who pushed Hui Lin to me?â
âAre you blaming me?â Lin Ruoxi sneered.
âIâm talking facts with you!â Yang Chen was stern, âHui Lin already had feelings for me back when we first met in Tibet but I didnât want to have a relationship with her. I rejected and avoided her even when her grandmother insisted on sending her to my side! Then when she stayed in our house, you were the one who let her stay with us. You founded a company for her, invested in concerts and shows for her and even appointed me as the director in charge of her careerâŠyou knew she had feelings for me but you didnât take it seriously at all. Even when she was filming, you insisted that I pay her a visit on the set. None of this wouldâve happened if you didnât do those things. Arenât you the one who tied us together? I donât get it, were you trying to test me or did you really believe in Hui Linâs self-control? At least I know it wasnât my intention. Iâve hurt Hui Lin for you, rejected her countless times but I canât hurt her forever. She has the right to make a choice and take action for her love life! Sheâs not your sister! Other than falling in love with me, she has done nothing wrong to you. She even tried to take care of your feelings, she didnât want you to worry or get hurt. Even when you tried to kill her just now, she only used her True Yuan to protect herself instead of hurting youâŠdo you really think Hui Lin doesnât know how to kill someone? She trained in Shushan for years. How could she not know how to fight with her True Yuan? Arenât you being too cruel to her?â\nHui Lin choked with sobs but no one knew if it was because she was touched or in pain.
The past seemed so far away but each time it was brought up, it still shook her to the core.
Lin Ruoxiâs face was unreadable. She was silent for some time before speaking in a trembling voice, âAre you saying that I should be grateful towards her?â
âYou donât have to be grateful but you shouldnât hate her. I can take it if you want to stab my heart but you shouldnât hurt her.â Yang Chenâs eyes were red, unable to control his emotions.
âStab your heart? Hmph, do you think of me as a fool? Your body would recover immediately even if I dig your heart out and put it back. Whatâs the point of stabbing you?â
Lin Ruoxi glared at him in disdain and walked out of the door.
âWhere are you going?!â Yang Chen blocked her way.
Lin Ruoxi swatted his hand away, âNone of your business!â
âFollow me home!â Yang Chen blocked the exit.
Lin Ruoxiâs eyes glinted with a cold glow as she extended her arm to punch his abdomen!
Yang Chen was quick to react, having trained for years. His near-death experiences shaped him into an agile person!
Before Lin Ruoxi could hit him, Yang Chen had already blocked her attack and was about to grab her other hand when Lin Ruoxi made a sharp turn and kicked his hand away.
With another turn, Lin Ruoxi raised her knee to hit his waist!
Yang Chen didnât see this coming and he was in shock!
But his instincts overtook him and he quickly pressed down her right shoulder with his left arm.
However, Lin Ruoxi managed to get out of his grasp and took a few steps back.\nAlthough her strength and skills were weaker than Yang Chen, he still failed to pin her down.
âYour moves are sharp! If this was on a battlefield, you wouldâve killed a person with each move. There are no excessive moves and they connect together in a perfect rhythm. You couldnât have achieved this in a short time of training. No wonder Hui Lin was pinned down to the ground.â
Yang Chen understood the earlier situation now, but a bigger doubt filled his mind. With furrowed brows, he asked, âLin Ruoxi, who taught you all these?!â
âI said, none of your business!â
Lin Ruoxi snapped and she suddenly grabbed Hui Lini and tossed her over her shoulder!
Hui Lin wasnât prepared for this and before she could even react, she had already bumped into the wall and fell onto the carpet.
Although she wasnât hurt, it was another blow to Hui Lin.
âLin Ruoxi!! Have you lost your mind?!â
Yang Chen roared and he was about to slap her, but his trembling hand stopped halfway. He couldnât bring himself to hit her.
How could he hit his beloved woman?
Lin Ruoxi looked up to give him a side-eye before walking out of the door.
This time, Yang Chen didnât stop her. He was trying to recollect himself. After finally calming down, he walked next to Hui Lin.
Hui Lin didnât want his help and she stood up immediately as if avoiding his touch. While wiping her tears, Hui Lin forced a smile, âBrother Yang, go chase after her. She must be emotionally unstable now. Iâm fine.â
âHui Lin, youâŠâ Yang Chen didnât know what to say, he was more indebted to her now.
Hui Lin pushed Yang Chen out of the door, âIâm really fine. I still need to touch up my makeup for my performance. Brother Yang, you should go now before someone comes over.â\nâPerformance?â Yang Chen looked back in shock, âLin Hui, are you innocent or dumb?â
Hui Lin shook her head and forced a smile, âIâm really awake, she must be too furious. Iâm sure she didnât really want to kill meâŠIâll work hard and do my job so that the investments donât go to waste. Maybe itâll make her happy. Iâm not asking for her forgiveness, as long as it cheers her up a littleâŠâ
Yang Chen sighed, stumped for words.
His mind was filled with questions and doubts. With his experience, he could practically call himself the grandmaster of battling techniques and to him, Lin Ruoxiâs killing moves were on par with a master. The only thing she lacked was a weapon.
To achieve this, not only would she need a good physique, talent and experience were crucial too. There were less than ten people who could be considered as a master, including Noriko Okawa who died in his hands.
It was unimaginable, how much had she been hiding? Or was there something more to it?
Regardless of the truth, Yang Chen believed that Lin Ruoxi was the one who killed the group of Houtian elites when she and Lanlan were kidnapped. With such skills, it wouldnât be a problem for her to fight ten people by herself.
After telling Hui Lin to take care of herself, Yang Chen dashed out of the room, worried that Lin Ruoxi would do something crazy again\n
