Chapter 409: I Don’t Know
“But, you didn’t take the Rose Sword with you?”
“Forget it, I don’t want it. I’ll leave it with her. If she’s willing to leave with me, I’ll treat it as her compensation. If she’s not willing, hehe… I’ll have to put an end to this nonsense, won’t I?”
Victor buried his head and smiled bitterly. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Yes, Victor could basically confirm that Nalan Lengling had guessed his true identity. Otherwise, she would not have shown that expression in the secret realm.
Victor did not intend to explain anything. After all, unless Nalan Lengling convinced herself, it would be meaningless for him to say anything.
“But… if possible… I still want to take her with me…”
“Wang Cheng!”
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Victor again. Nalan Lengling was standing not far behind him, expressionless as if she had just met him.
“It’s senior sister…” Victor squeezed out a smile, “What’s the matter?”
“I… I have something to ask you. Go to the back mountain. I’ll wait for you there.”
After saying that, Nalan Lengling did not give Victor any chance to question her and left directly.
No matter how stupid he was, he could still see the clues.
“She found out?”
“Most likely.”
“Then what should we do?”
“Maybe I’ll confess… I don’t know either.”
Victor shook his head and signaled Lian Hua to go back first. Then, he turned around and left with Nalan Lengling.
On the way to the back of the mountain, the two of them did not say a word. The silence was suffocating.
Victor followed closely behind Nalan Lengling. He did not speed up nor did he lag too far behind.
Finally, after 15 minutes, the two of them arrived at the back of the mountain. Nalan Lengling slowly turned around and looked at Victor.
“You… are not Wang Cheng, right?”
“I am Wang Cheng. This is one of my identities.”
“Then what is your real identity?”
“I think senior sister has already guessed it. Why don’t you tell me?” Victor smiled bitterly.
“I don’t know… I also don’t know who you are…”
“Alright, then let me ask you. When did you start doubting me?”
“The Hundred Thousand Mountain. My suspicion started there. From the moment you met Elder Tianji, I started doubting you. Later on, you survived the beast tide with your foundation establishment cultivation and then went to fight for the mountain treasure. Along the way, my doubt grew stronger.”
“I see. Then, did you guess my identity?”
“I’ve thought of many answers. Someone in White Dragon City who calls himself Lin Bei, and Victor from Eastern Plains’ Green Dragon Sect.”
“Senior sister is really smart. Yes, they are all me. But, senior sister, can you tell me, how did you guess these two people?”
“In Mount Daba, there wouldn’t be any villager with the surname “Wang”. Moreover, when I was in White Dragon City, I saw you.”
“I see.”
Victor did not conceal his identity and admitted his identity very frankly.
“Why?”
“If you ask me why?”
“Why did you lie to me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nalan Lengling’s eyes turned red and tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
“For the sake of revenge, at that time, the Fire Sect Master attacked the Green Dragon Sect and caused the Green Dragon Sect’s vitality to be greatly damaged. The sect was almost exterminated. After that, I left the Eastern Plains and vowed to take revenge.
“Therefore, I went to White Dragon City and came to the Fire Sect to increase my strength. I want revenge, and I want the Fire Sect to pay the price!”
“But the sect master is dead!”
“He died in my hands because he wasn’t as skilled. However, the disciples of the Green Dragon Sect who died were innocent. They shouldn’t have needed to bear this burden. The Fire Sect needs to pay back for their lives.”
“What about now? Do you still have the same thoughts?”
“No. Now that I’ve had my revenge, I just want to leave.”
Hearing this, Nalan Lengling felt a stabbing pain in her chest.
“Leave?”
“That’s right. My original intention was to steal the Rose Sword from the Fire Sect. After all, killing people wasn’t my original intention. Just like the disciples of the Green Dragon Sect, they are also innocent.
“It’s a pity that I met you and almost affected my life. I broke your sword, and now I’ve returned you one. We’re even. Therefore, I don’t want to stay.”
“What about me?”
Finally, Nalan Lengling spoke her mind. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Victor hysterically.
“You have your destiny, and I have my path to walk. Now, it’s time for these two intersecting lines to part.”
“So, are your feelings for me a lie?”
“No. This I can guarantee that if I’ve lied even in the slightest, my soul will be annihilated!
“However, senior sister…
“The falling flowers have the intention to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water doesn’t have the heart to love the flowers.”
“How can you be sure that the flowing water doesn’t have the heart to love the falling flowers?”
“Then, are you willing to leave with me?”
Victor took a step forward, but Nalan Lengling retreated.
Seeing this scene, Victor laughed bitterly.
“You grew up in the Fire Sect, and the great elder treated you like his own daughter. Moreover, your sister is here now, so you don’t have a reason to leave, or rather, I’m not enough to be your reason. Since that’s the case, It’s better to forget each other than going through hardships to survive.”
“But…”
“There are no buts, senior sister. I’ve always thought that there would be one or two wisps of wind that could fill the endless dreams in my heart. Now, I’ve found it, but the heavens aren’t on my side and the wind won’t chase after goodbyes. Now, it’s time to wake up from my dreams.”
“Why are you telling me all this now! Why! If you had told me the truth earlier, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with you!”
“I never expected myself to be this busy. Or are you suggesting that I should’ve told you that I was Victor and that my purpose in coming to the Fire Sect was to seek revenge? How is that possible?”
“I’ve also never thought that I would fall in love with you. Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say.”
After saying that, Victor smiled bitterly and continued, “Senior sister, actually, I never expected you to leave with me, so I’m not really disappointed. It’s just like on a rainy day, while you wait for someone to share an umbrella with, I wait for the rain to stop.”
After saying that, Victor turned around and left directly.
Looking at Victor’s departing figure, Nalan Lengling collapsed on the ground, tears gushing out like a fountain.
‘Maybe… maybe I’m willing to leave with you…’
Nalan Lengling thought to herself, but she did not say anything until Victor’s figure disappeared from her sight.
On the other side, Victor finally left the back of the mountain and returned to the residence. At this moment, Lian Hua had already packed up her things and was waiting for him to leave.
“We’ll set off tomorrow. Today, rest well.”
“Mm… Victor…”
“I’m fine. Actually, I’ve already thought of such a situation. So, it doesn’t matter if I’m sad. It’s just that I’m… a little tired.”
“I’m still here.”
Lian Hua slowly stood up and hugged Victor. He buried his head in Lian Hua’s chest and muttered in his heart.
‘Yeah, it’s good that you’re here.’
