Chapter 181: Unforeseeable Fate (2/2)

“What if the outcome you calculated is a bad one? What should I do?”

“Rather than worrying about those futures, it was better to cherish the present with Xuan’er.”

Ning Wuxie said this and nodded. Song Luoyun’s mouth slightly opened, surprised as he listened to these words.

“Indeed… what you said makes sense.” He seemed to have heard an extremely rare perspective, stroking his chin and nodding.

Song Luoyun looked astonished, lowering his head to reveal a thoughtful expression.

“Cherishing the present… yes, I have always studied the art of evolution, always thinking about what will happen in the future.”

“Yet, I overlooked the most important thing, the present…”

Song Luoyun softly spoke, almost as if talking to himself.

Song Luoyun appeared to be enlightened, pondering deeply. Ning Wuxie was unsure if he had absorbed the message, hoping he would cherish his own life and not think too negatively.

Returning to the room, Ning Wuxie planned to conclude the day.

Tomorrow, the intense cultivation would begin, hoping the Mo Clan’s guards would be less troublesome and not disturb him.

Xuan’er, dressed in a cool pink spaghetti strap top and white shorts that reached her thighs, leaned by the window reading a book, likely about the Heaven’s Heartless Technique.

Ning Wuxie walked to the bedside, but Xuan’er did not lift her eyes, putting down the book, turning to blow out the lamp, and lying down on the bed in one smooth motion. She appeared somewhat displeased.

Ning Wuxie settled down, and the two embraced naturally.

“Brother.”

“Hmm?”

“You said we would be together for a lifetime, right?”

“Yeah? What’s wrong?”

“I heard what you said earlier…” Xuan’er’s voice sounded aggrieved.

Ning Wuxie was stunned, realizing that Xuan’er had overheard the words meant to deceive Song Luoyun… however, those words were not entirely a lie.

Xuan’er did not know, but he understood; their relationship was indeed like a flower on the edge of a cliff, a boat in a whirlpool.

A sword hung above, uncertain of when it would fall.

Just as Ning Wuxie had said, aside from cherishing the present, what else could be done?

The future would inevitably come.

What he could do was to cherish the present moment with Xuan’er.

Ning Wuxie hugged Xuan’er tightly, hurriedly saying, “That was all a lie to him. I didn’t want him to calculate your fate.”

“Why not calculate? We will definitely be together, right? You promised!”

“Exactly because we will definitely be together, so there’s no need to calculate…” Ning Wuxie explained.

This reasoning indeed lacked some persuasiveness.

Upon hearing this, Xuan’er fell silent, no longer speaking.

After a while, her body began to tremble. Ning Wuxie reached out to touch her face, which felt wet.

“Xuan’er?” He was startled; why was Xuan’er crying?

“Brother, do you have something you cannot tell Xuan’er?”

“Do you already know that we might not be together in the future?!”

Xuan’er’s voice was almost a wail, though it was soft; she struggled to suppress it, but her voice still trembled, gasping for breath.

Ning Wuxie felt his heart shatter.

“Brother, please tell me, what exactly is going on?!”

“…” Ning Wuxie opened his mouth but could not make a sound.

He cupped Xuan’er’s face, wanting to kiss her, but she turned her head away!

“You don’t say, but I know.”

Under the moonlight, Xuan’er’s eyes were red, her face wet, looking at Ning Wuxie with deep sorrow and resentment.

“It’s that person in my mind, isn’t it?!”
