Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 207 Crazy Brain Circuits
Lin Xiufeng almost decided to let Zhao Youyue go.

However, reason made him determined not to let go.

After rubbing against Lin Xiufeng for a while, Zhao Youyue sensed the change in Lin Xiufeng and called out again:

Will you let go or not?

"If you don't let go, you'll really cuckold Lin Qiru! How are you going to explain that to her then!"

She will never forgive you!

"Once she abandons you, the Lonely King Volcano will no longer belong to the Heavenly Rebels!"

"You can't continue to be the leader of the rebellion against Heaven!"

Lin Xiufeng said helplessly, "Tell me, between being endlessly tortured by you and enduring twenty or thirty minutes, what should I choose?"

"Oh, I guess you're not feeling well, it'll only be about ten minutes."

Zhao Youyue was both angry and furious: "Lin Xiufeng! Have you no shame?"

"How can you do this to Lin Qiru?"

"You scumbag!"

Lin Xiufeng said irritably, "You forced me! How dare you accuse me?"

"Let go! Let go of me!" Zhao Youyue shouted excitedly.

Lin Xiufeng, fearing that Zhao Youyue might truly go insane, devised a compromise:
“If you swear in the names of your parents and uncles that after you are released we will go back to our own homes and that you will keep a distance of 100 kilometers from me for 15 days, then I will release you.”

"You dare to stand in their place!" Zhao Youyue demanded angrily, "I'll ask you one more time, will you let me go or not!"

"I won't let you go until you swear an oath." Lin Xiufeng had no other choice. Zhao Youyue's refusal to swear an oath meant that she was determined to let him go and continue to torture him.

Can he let it go?

Let her go crazy if she wants; he won't let her go anyway, or she'll be subjected to a one-sided torture by Zhao Youyue.

Zhao Youyue's crazy antics...

Lin Xiufeng was determined to hold on tight, but he still couldn't control her legs...

The rain was pouring down.

The blood in the pool faded, faded further and further...

When Zhao Youyue calmed down, the pool water had lost all its color.

Zhao Youyue remained silent and did not struggle.

Lin Xiufeng dared not be careless, wary of her suddenly exerting force to break free.

But Zhao Youyue gazed quietly at the pool for a long time without struggling.

Lin Xiufeng didn't know what she was thinking, but he also didn't know what to say.

Because it's just too absurd.

They were constantly stabbing each other until Zhao Youyue's Heavenly Martial Power was exhausted, which would have been the end of the battle.

Ironically, after stabbing for a long time, they all suddenly stopped at the same time.

At that time, they had depleted about fifty layers of Heavenly Martial Power.

Yes, they attacked each other frantically, absorbing each other's leaking Heavenly Martial Power, but some still dissipated.

Actually, not much spilled out, but the sheer number of them stabbing each other with their Heavenly Martial Swords was overwhelming.

Then Zhao Youyue's crazy thought process left Lin Xiufeng with no choice but to endure it.

After Zhao Youyue finished her outburst, she remained quiet for a very long time...

The rain kept falling.

Lin Xiufeng felt a bit cold, while Zhao Youyue, who was soaked, must have been even colder.

"Did you already know that Lin Qiru was Xu Xinying?"

Zhao Youyue suddenly broke the silence. She had asked herself this question countless times and guessed at it countless times.

Lin Xiufeng turned her head to look at the pool, and said with a light laugh:
"If I said no, would you believe me? If you would believe me, you wouldn't need to ask."

"Just answer him." Zhao Youyue insisted on hearing his answer in person.

"Didn't we already know that Xiaoying deliberately changed all her word choices, language habits, and even her gestures that might expose her? Does this issue still matter to you?"

Thinking about Zhao Zongshan's death, Lin Xiufeng realized that none of this really mattered.

Whether Zhao Youyue hates him a little more or a little less, she will hate him nonetheless.

"Why didn't Xu Xinying kill me that day?" Zhao Youyue stared at the pool and continued to ask.

"Can't you guess?" Lin Xiufeng retorted.

"Does she look down on me? Does she not care about me? Does she deliberately make me suffer? When will she kill me again after she's made me suffer enough?" Zhao Youyue had certainly guessed, guessed far too many answers.

"...How many days' worth of martial arts do you think Xiaoying used up for her outburst that day? Just for the reasons you've come up with?"

"She has accumulated a lot of Heavenly Martial Power, so she doesn't care! She wants to use this to establish her authority and make the Heavenly Martial Group fear her!"

"Since you already have the answer and are absolutely certain of it, why are you asking me?"

Lin Xiufeng felt that Zhao Youyue was indeed quite conflicted.

"I'd like to know your answer. What's your opinion?"

"Does it matter what I think? It won't change or shake your belief in the answer."

"Answer my question, stop rambling!" Zhao Youyue pressed impatiently.

“Xiaoying was not in a good mental state. She was almost unable to control her murderous intent at the time, but she was afraid that I would be upset, and she could not kill you, so she could only end the conflict in that way.”

"Is this your answer?" Zhao Youyue's tone was clearly sarcastic.

"Yes, that's my answer."

"You're so narcissistic! Ridiculously self-important! Who do you think you are? That you're worth Xu Xinying caring so much about your feelings? You don't understand her at all; my guess is the answer!"

"Yes, yes, I don't know her well. After all, I've known her for much longer than you have, and I've talked to her far more, so it's perfectly reasonable that I don't know her as well as you do!"

Lin Xiufeng found it really funny; if Zhao Youyue were in a normal state, she wouldn't have said such absurd things.

This was as if he were saying to Zhao Youyue, "I know your parents better than you do."

Isn't this nonsense?
"I don't want to talk to you anymore, let me go."

Zhao Youyue's tone was devoid of emotion.

Lin Xiufeng said helplessly, "If it were you, would you have let it go?"

"I don't want to see you today, I just want to go back."

"If it were you, would you believe it?" Lin Xiufeng asked helplessly.

"Lin Xiufeng, I'm serious!" Zhao Youyue emphasized, somewhat displeased.

“Swear on your parents and your uncle, and I’ll risk believing you.”

"You are not worthy to mention them! You murderer!" Zhao Youyue suddenly became enraged and tried to break free.

"Then there's nothing we can do. We'll just have to wait it out until your Heavenly Martial Power is completely depleted."

Lin Xiufeng thought it was good that things had dragged on to that point; Zhao Youyue no longer had the power to cause trouble for the Heavenly Gang, and he wouldn't have to come out for it.

There's no need to worry about what to do next time you run into Zhao Youyue.

Zhao Youyue angrily raised her fist and slammed it down on Lin Xiufeng's shoulder repeatedly!
Just like before, only now the strength is much greater, and the pain is much greater.

In the past, Lin Xiufeng would definitely have returned the favor in kind.

But at that moment, he did not retaliate.

Zhao Youyue hit the object more than a dozen times, then suddenly stopped. Her wet hair hung down, and her face and eyes were covered with water droplets.

"Lin Xiufeng, you big liar! You wouldn't even be sad if I died! You just deceived and toyed with my feelings, and used me to get close to my uncle!"

Lin Xiufeng didn't argue, but just stared at her. Seeing her like this, his emotions became even more complicated.

"I knew it! You're speechless now!"

Lin Xiufeng gazed at the pain in Zhao Youyue's eyes and said as calmly as possible:
"Tell me, how could we inexperienced kids like us have the ability to just cut ties and sever all ties like that?"

“I killed your uncle right in front of you, and you still haven’t made up your mind to kill me; you’ve tortured me to the point of being slowly sliced ​​to death, but even when I had the chance just now, I still couldn’t bring myself to attack your Heavenly Martial Heart.”

"They talk a tough game, but when it really comes down to it, they're still just kids."

Tears suddenly welled up in Zhao Youyue's eyes, streaming down her face like a broken string...

She cried out, "I begged you to stop! I begged you to spare my uncle! How could you do that? You killed him right in front of me, no matter how much I begged!"

"If I had missed that opportunity, I fear I would have never had the chance to kill him."

Lin Xiufeng recalled the scene he had imagined many times, and said blankly again:
“I was going to kill him eventually; it was our inevitable fate, there was no escaping it.”

"Let me go—" Zhao Youyue suppressed her sobs, which turned into whimpers.

"Swear it. If it were someone else, I wouldn't want to take the risk even if I swore it!" Lin Xiufeng emphasized very seriously.

"Okay, I swear, I swear!" Zhao Youyue quickly swore, urging impatiently, "Let go! I don't want to see you!"

Lin Xiufeng released her, but remained lying on the ground.

"Lin Xiufeng, as long as I live, I will never let you get away with this! And Xu Xinying, I will kill her one day!"

Zhao Youyue got up, took out a red folded raincoat from her bag and put it on, then walked away without looking back.
