Ultimate Scheming System - Chapter 1414

Chapter 1414


"The sword was right at my throat . But because I'd decided to tell a lie, the mistress of the sword would fall head over heels in love . . . "

A classic line from an ancient manuscript popped into Xu Que's mind .

At this moment, this was the scene that he was living through . Zixia Fairy's sword was at his throat . Her murderous aura seemed beyond description .

Xu Que didn't want to lie again . The history between Zixia Fairy and him, those decades of life in the Illusory Realm, couldn't be resolved with a lie .

Not to mention that the lie would be exposed sooner or later . At that time, Zixia Fairy's reaction would be even more horrible than it was going to be now .

Xu Que couldn't afford dealing with the consequences of the lie, so . . . he decided to be sincere for once in his life .

"I . . . " Xu Que opened his mouth and started to speak .

But as the first word escaped his mouth, he was coldly interrupted by Zixia Fairy .

"If you mention that name again, I'll definitely kill you . You're not qualified to mention that name, and you're definitely not him . "

She spoke coldly, her tone still flat, but it produced a heart-palpitating chill .

Xu Que shook his head and said, "I know you can't accept it, but, unfortunately, it's true . "

"I said it isn't true, so it isn't," Zixia Fairy replied in an ice-cold voice, while removing her sword from his throat and turning around .

A light breeze blew past and her black hair became slightly tousled . In the sun, her profile was exquisite, utterly captivating .

Xu Que smiled and said, "Sometimes, the facts are not the most important things . What you thought of as the truth may necessarily have been all lies . I didn't hide my identity deliberately at that time . You are full of hatred toward me . But, at least during the decades spent in the Illusory Realm, and now, I am sincere . . . "

"Shut up!"

Zixia Fairy again interrupted Xu Que's words . Her cold gaze swept over Xu Que, full of hate .

It was a very explicit hate . She didn't hide it . It was obvious that she even wished she could kill Xu Que .

"I will say it again . You aren't him, and you're not good enough to be him . I'll spare your worthless life just to let you know that you're not even qualified to be killed by me," Zixia Fairy said this in a low voice with an indifferent expression .

BOOM!

Xu Que stood rooted to the ground . A mighty wind roared through his head, and he didn't know what to think .

He opened his mouth in great dismay, seemingly caught off guard by Zixia Fairy's tough performance, which he'd obviously not anticipated .

Originally, he'd thought that when Zixia Fairy had returned to this place and was even willing to see him, it was to give him a chance to explain and apologize .

But now, he suddenly found himself being slapped in the face . Zixia Fairy's words, including all the looks that she had given him, were undoubtedly meant to give him a hard slap and strike at his heart .


"WOW!"

Finally, Xu Que let out a deep breath, nodded, and answered in the same low voice, "I get it now . "

These four short words were full of bitterness, loneliness, and even disappointment .

But he forced a smile onto his face and looked around, as if to admire the surrounding landscape .

After taking a few deep breaths, he smiled and exclaimed, "Things have remained the same, but people have changed . Although I haven't been here for decades, I didn't expect that the changes in this place would be quite so large . The mountains are higher, the water is clearer, and the restrictions of the past have also disappeared . Cultivators of any realms can now visit here . It's only a pity . . . that such a change is not a good one . "

Xu Que looked at Zixia Fairy, who was regarding him with a bored look and no expression, and took out a folded piece of paper and handed it over to her .

"My friend has entrusted me to bring this to you . It's up to you whether you read it or not, throw it away or burn it . . . "



Xu Que hadn't finished speaking when he heard a WHOOSH sound .

The tip of Zixia Fairy's sword flashed several times in front of him . The paper in his hand was instantly cut into confetti and fluttered away with the wind until it hit the ground . It flew past Xu Que's eyes like a snow flurry .

The snow wasn't real, obviously, but Xu Que's heart became cold nonetheless .

He smiled bitterly, laughing at himself somewhat .

"I'm sorry to have bothered you . "

He faced her and slowly took a bow . Then he turned around and strode away .

. . . . .

In this vast wilderness, his figure gradually became blurry .

Xu Que walked away determinedly, taking with him his last bit of self-blame and bitterness, and left the Five Elements Mountain .

In the bright sunlight, the view of him from the back appeared desolate, like a loser who had lost hope, forlorn and lonely . It was a pitiful sight .

Zixia Fairy stood where she was indifferently . She didn't see him off and didn't acknowledge his leaving .

Until Xu Que had completely disappeared and even a trace of his presence had dispersed, only then did Zixia Fairy move a little bit .

She waved her hands, and the broken confetti on the ground gathered together in an instant . The pieces reassembled in the air to form a complete piece of paper before it landed on her palm .

A few lines were written on the paper .

"A sincere love was in front of me once, but I didn't cherish it . It wasn't until I lost it that I was full of regret, but it was too late . The most painful thing in the world can't be compared to this .

If God could give me a chance to do it again, I would say three words to that woman: I love you . "



POW!

A drop of water that looked like a crystal abruptly landed on the paper and soaked into a few of the words .

The sky was still clear, but the eyes of Zixia Fairy were moist as tears rolled down her cheeks .

"Well . . . "

At this time, an awkward voice suddenly rang out in front of Zixia Fairy .

"Excuse me, I forgot to ask you just now . . . It's a small . . . Hey, why are you crying?" Xu Que had returned and was looking at Zixia Fairy with surprise .

Zixia Fairy was struck dumb and stood frozen in place .

The atmosphere became charged with emotion and got incredibly quiet .

SWISH!

Almost immediately, Zixia Fairy's face turned red, full of fury and humiliation . She was flushed with anger and embarrassment . She threw the paper at Xu Que with vehemence, turned her back to him, and coldly said, "Take it back to your friend . "

"Well, all right," Xu Que said, as he took the paper . He was stunned .

He'd come back to ask Zixia Fairy if she had any news about Xiao Rou and Madam Ya .

But he absolutely didn't expect that when he came back, he would encounter this scene . Zixia Fairy had actually restored the original appearance of the paper that she'd cut up, and she'd even shed tears .

"That . . . I wanted to ask . . . ," Xu Que repeated as he lifted his hand awkwardly to scratch the back of his head .

"Get out of here!"



Zixia Fairy unexpectedly cut off Xu Que's question with an angry rebuke .

Her face was still flushed, and she angrily stared at Xu Que with a murderous aura . Although she wasn't as cold as she had been before, it was easy to see that her shame had really turned into anger at this time .

After all, if this were to happen to any ordinary person, to be intruded upon under such circumstances, that person was bound to be embarrassed also .

Moreover, the embarrassed person this time was Zixia Fairy .

However, Xu Que was also annoyed at this moment .

"I've already apologized and left . I didn't mean to come back and see you cry . How was I to anticipate that you would cry?

"It was wrong of me to deceive you . Everything was my fault . But with your attitude, I'm sorry to say that I, the Act-Tough Saint, am not going to play along . "

Xu Que's expression also became chilly . With a dark expression in his eyes, he also seemed completely indifferent at this moment .

Without expression, he swept his gaze toward Zixia Fairy, immediately turned around in a pique, and marched out to leave .

"This relationship was wrong to start with .

"I shouldn't have tied the Red Rope of Marriage at the time .

"I shouldn't have broken into the Illusory Realm . "

None of what happened should have happened!

SWISH!

At this time, Xu Que, who was taking large strides forward, suddenly slowed his pace . He looked startled .

He turned his head around only to see a fair, slender hand tightly holding onto his clothes, and the owner of the slender hand, Zixia Fairy, facing him with a flushed face and her head bowed .
