Chapter 1316: Sorry, Sorry to Disturb You!

"At that time, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from my throat, but a quarter of an incense stick later, the owner of this sword would fall completely in love with me, because I decided to tell a lie..."

In Xu Que's mind, a classic and extraordinary line of dialogue couldn't help but surface.

At this very moment, the scene he was encountering was exactly like that; Fairy Zixia's sword was hanging right in front of his throat, filled with killing intent!

But Xu Que didn't want to tell any more lies; the past between him and Fairy Zixia, that lifetime of several decades in the illusion, could not be solved by a single lie!

Not to mention that lies, sooner or later, would be exposed; at that time, Fairy Zixia's reaction would likely be even more unimaginable than it was now.

Xu Que felt he couldn't bear the consequences of that lie, so... he decided to be sincere for once!

"I..." Xu Que opened his mouth, preparing to speak.

But the moment the first word was uttered, he was coldly interrupted by Fairy Zixia.

"If you mention that name again, I will definitely kill you! You have no qualification to mention those three words, and you are not him!"

She said coldly, her tone still flat, yet it carried a chill that made one's heart tremble!

Xu Que shook his head: "I know you can't accept it, but it's a pity, the fact is just like this!"

"I say it is not a fact, then it is not!" Fairy Zixia responded coldly, simultaneously withdrawing her sword and turning around.

A gentle breeze blew past, the black hair on her forehead lifted slightly; under the sunlight, her side profile was exquisite and beautiful, making one yearn for her.

Xu Que smiled and said: "Sometimes, facts don't necessarily represent everything; what you consider to be facts isn't necessarily all lies. At that time, I didn't intentionally hide my identity, but rather you were full of hatred toward me. But at least for those decades in the illusion, and up until now, I am sincere..."

"Shut up!"

Fairy Zixia interrupted Xu Que's words again, her cold eyes sweeping toward Xu Que, full of hatred.

This was a very explicit hatred, without the slightest concealment, even to the point of wishing to kill Xu Que.

"I will say it again, you are not him, and you have no qualification to become him. I leave you your lowly life just to let you know that you don't even have the qualification to be killed by me!" Fairy Zixia said in a deep voice, her expression incomparably indifferent.

Boom!

Xu Que stood completely frozen in place, his head roaring, suddenly blank.

He opened his mouth slightly in utter astonishment, seemingly caught off guard by Fairy Zixia's such tough performance, completely unexpected.

Originally, he had thought that Fairy Zixia returning to this place, and even being willing to see him, was to give him a chance to explain and apologize.

But now, he suddenly realized he had been slapped in the face; Fairy Zixia's words, including every look, undoubtedly gave him a fierce slap, striking his heart hard.

"Hoo!"

Finally, Xu Que exhaled deeply, nodded, and said in a low voice: "I understand!"

These short four words carried full bitterness and desolation, as well as disappointment!

Yet he forced a smile on his face, his gaze looking at the surroundings, as if admiring the landscape.

After a few breaths, he smiled faintly and sighed: "Things have changed, people have changed. I didn't expect that after not returning for several decades, this place has changed quite a bit. The mountains are higher, the water is greener, and the shackles of the past have disappeared; cultivators of any level can set foot here. It's just a pity... this kind of change is not a beautiful thing!"

Speaking of this, Xu Que looked at the expressionless Fairy Zixia, took out a folded piece of letter paper, and handed it over.

"A friend asked me to bring this to you; whether you read it or not is up to you, throwing it away or burning it is also..."

Before Xu Que could finish, only a "whoosh" sound was heard.

Several sword lights flashed before him, and the paper in his hand instantly shattered into scraps, drifting to the ground with the wind, like a flurry of white snow, drifting past Xu Que's eyes.

This "snow" was fake, but Xu Que's heart had turned cold.

He gave a slight bitter laugh, somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Sorry, sorry to disturb you!"

He faced her, bowed slowly, then turned around and walked away.

In this vast wilderness, his figure gradually blurred.

Xu Que left, carrying his final self-reproach and bitterness, leaving the Five Elements Mountain.

Under the sunlight, his back looked very desolate, like a loser who had lost hope, lonely and solitary, making one feel pitiful.

Fairy Zixia stood indifferently in place, not even watching him go, just standing there.

Not until Xu Que had completely disappeared, and even the slightest aura had dissipated, did Fairy Zixia move slightly.

She waved her hand, and those scattered paper scraps on the ground instantly gathered together, re-forming into a complete piece of paper in the air, landing in her palm.

On the paper, a few lines of words were written.

"Once there was a sincere love placed before me, I did not cherish it, and only regretted it when I lost it. There is nothing more painful in this world than this.

If Heaven could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you!"

Plop!

A crystal-clear water droplet suddenly hit the paper, wetting a few characters.

The sky was still clear, but Fairy Zixia's eyes were still moist, and tears slid down her cheeks.

"Uh..."

At this moment, an awkward voice suddenly sounded in front of Fairy Zixia.

"Excuse me, I just forgot to ask, Xiao... eh, why are you crying?" Xu Que returned, looking at Fairy Zixia in surprise.

Fairy Zixia was also dumbfounded, standing frozen in place.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, incomparably quiet.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, Fairy Zixia turned around with a face full of shame and anger, actually blushing, threw the paper fiercely at Xu Que, turned her back to him, and said coldly: "Take it back to your friend!"

"Uh, okay!" Xu Que took the paper, feeling stunned inside as well.

He had returned to ask Fairy Zixia for information about Xiao Rou and Lady Ya and the others.

But he never expected that upon returning, he would encounter this scene; Fairy Zixia had actually restored the shredded paper to its original state, and he had even seen her shed tears.

"That... I wanted to ask..." Xu Que raised his hand awkwardly, scratching the back of his head and saying.

"Get lost!"

Fairy Zixia suddenly turned her head, a roar of anger directly interrupting Xu Que's question.

She was still blushing, glaring angrily at Xu Que, filled with killing intent; although she wasn't as indifferent as before, it also showed that she was truly ashamed and angry this time!

After all, if it were an ordinary person, being caught in such a scene, they would definitely be embarrassed to death!

Not to mention that the embarrassed person this time was Fairy Zixia!

However, Xu Que was also very annoyed at this moment.

I apologized, I left, and I didn't intentionally run back to see you cry; who the hell could have guessed you would cry!

It was my fault for lying to you, everything was my fault, but your attitude—sorry, this King of Acting Cool can't afford to accompany you!

Xu Que's expression instantly turned cold, his pitch-black eyes filled with indifference at this moment!

He looked expressionless, swept a glance at Fairy Zixia, then turned around in a huff and walked forward.

This relationship was wrong from the start!

The Fate Red Rope back then shouldn't have been tied!

The illusion back then shouldn't have been broken!

Everything, everything, was not supposed to be!

"Swish!"

At this moment, Xu Que, who was striding forward to leave, suddenly stalled, a look of astonishment on his face.

He turned his head, only to see a small, fair hand tightly clutching the hem of his clothes behind him, and the owner of the small hand—Fairy Zixia—was lowering her head, blushing!
