Chapter 310: I Either Fall in Love with You or No One

“I…” Feng Tianlan opened her mouth . In the end, she said nothing . With Si Mobai staring so intently at her, the words simply refused to leave her lips .

Si Mobai raised his eyebrows eagerly . Even though he knew that she was most likely going to repeat that she did not return his feelings, he still clung to a glimmer of hope . What if, this time, she gave in?

Si Mobai’s doe eyes made Feng Tianlan avert her gaze slightly . She swallowed what she was about to say and bade him goodbye, “Take care . ”

Si Mobai relaxed then frowned . He was relieved because she did not refuse him this time, and he frowned because she was still keeping her heart locked away from him . He should take it easy . At least not being rejected for the millionth time was a tremendous improvement .

Feng Tianlan watched Si Mobai leave, and her lustrous eyes dimmed . She had wanted to tell him that she would either fall in love with him or no one . However, she feared that if she gave him hope, disappointment awaited them both .

She did not know how much time she had left . A promise that she might not be able to keep was better left unspoken . Instead, she made a promise to herself . She would either fall for Si Mobai or no one .

–

The massive team led by Qi Shujie was eye-catching, to say the least . With their entire fleet of demonic beast mounts, they’d earned a lot of double-takes in and around South Peace City . People looked at them with envy . Here was the Top-Level Sect of Guiyuan Continent, the Flying Frost Pavilion! They could never compare in terms of cultivation, not even external disciples .

A soft but pained whine could be heard coming from an extravagant carriage pulled by two demonic beasts .

Qi Shujie has been guarding Tu Xiupei all this while . He sat up when he heard the sounds, and began to ask nervously, “Pei’er, how are you feeling? Are you hurting anywhere? Are you thirsty? Hungry?”

“Eldest Senior Brother . ” Tu Xiuyu saw Qi Shujie the moment she opened her eyes . She burst into tears at once, sobbing like a wronged child . “Why did you save me, Senior Brother? You should have let me commit suicide . Father and Mother are both still locked up, and me…Senior Brother, let me die . I am too ashamed to live in this world . ”

Qi Shujie quickly pulled Tu Xiupei to his chest, who attempted to bang her head on the carriage wall . He hugged her tightly and said, “It is me, your Senior Brother, who is useless . You are the only one I managed to fetch . As for your parents, we are still trying to come up with a plan . None of this is your fault . Feng Tianlan is too evil and cunning . Your Senior Brother will avenge you . ”

“You don’t understand . Not only are Father and Mother still in prison, even I…” Tu Xiupei cried loudly, seemingly pained . She struggled to jump out of the moving carriage to take her own life .

Qi Shujie locked her in his steel embrace and consoled her in a gentle tone . A flicker of disdain flashed across her eyes . Seeing that the carriage was proceeding at quite a high speed, she struggled free and fell out of it . Qi Shujie pulled her to his chest immediately and cushioned her fall, and they both rolled out of the transport . The wheels, unable to stop in time, crushed his legs as they ran him over .

“Young Master!” An accident this bad was enough to stun the servants . They quickly stopped what they were doing .

“Leave me alone! Let me die . ” Tu Xiupei ignored Qi Shujie and kept yelling that she would be better off dead .

Qi Shujie could hardly pay any attention to the pain in his legs . Instead, he embraced Tu Xiupei tightly . However, seeing that she hadn’t snapped out of her craze, he steeled himself, raised his hand, and gave her a tight slap . “Tu Xiupei . ”

Tu Xiupei felt dizzy from the slap . Deep inside, she scolded him . What a dimwit! How loud was that slap? Was he trying to kill her?

She did a good job of concealing her thoughts . She did not show any trace of her genuine feelings . On the surface, she looked as lifeless and soulless as a door as she just sat there in a trance, muttering, “Kill me . I do not wish to live anymore . I am too ashamed to live in this world . ”

“What’s the use in dying? It will only agonize your loved ones while pleasing your enemies . This is a time when you should toughen up . Then, kill her and exact revenge . ” Qi Shujie’s heart panged to see Tu Xiupei in such a state . He’d never dreamed that she was so determined to die that she would jump out of a moving carriage . It horrified him, and he feared that she would kill herself, just like that . Therefore, he had no choice but to be stern .
