Chapter 836: The Truth About the Past

Classmate Lin?

Hearing this long-unheard voice, Lin Yuxi froze slightly.

Although the voice itself hadn't changed, she could feel that the three words "Classmate Lin" meant not only a change in address, but also a change in tone!

He was no longer the him of before!

At this moment, Lin Yuxi finally came to her senses, pulling herself out of various complex thoughts and becoming calm.

The tempering from struggling outside all these years had matured her greatly; facing such a situation, she possessed extremely strong control, instantly restoring her composure.

"Classmate Xu, long time no see!" She looked at Xu Que, nodded, and responded politely with a sentence.

Yet after extracting herself from those complex emotions, a huge confusion still remained in her heart: why was Xu Que still alive? What exactly was hidden behind that car accident from back then?

"Xu Que!"

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli cried out in shock, looking at Xu Que in astonishment and asking, "Didn't you die? How..."

"Yes, I died!" Xu Que smiled slightly, nodded lightly as if describing something trivial, and continued, "But I have come back to life."

Died and then came back to life?

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli and Lin Yuxi remained astonished.

Huang Cheng suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, I told you so! This kid Xu Que is sharper than anyone else; how could he die so easily? No wonder you disappeared for so many years; it must not have been easy, right?"

"Yes! Speaking of which, it was indeed not easy; I almost couldn't make it back!" Xu Que nodded.

Although these past few years in the Cultivation World were Smooth Sailing, there were still risks, especially this return to Earth, which was truly not easy.

But to Huang Cheng and the others, these words carried another meaning entirely.

They thought Xu Que had indeed been in a car accident back then, so he had been recovering from his injuries these past few years, almost unable to return, making it very difficult!

Lin Yuxi, however, was greatly surprised, because she had once seen Xu Que's corpse; it was clearly already cold, so it was hard to imagine he could actually be saved!

More critically, who would save him?

Given his condition back then, even if he could be saved, it would probably require a super top-tier medical team!

But he was a poor kid with no father or mother, only a younger sister; where would he get the money to hire such a miraculous medical team, let alone recuperate for so many years!

"Classmate Lin, do you have time? There are some matters I wish to discuss with you in private!" At this moment, Xu Que looked at Lin Yuxi and asked openly.

Lin Yuxi shook her head and said, "Xu Que, let the past remain in the past; there is nothing left for us to discuss, and I don't want to discuss it anymore! Let's just let everything go!"

"Heh, rest assured, what I want to discuss with you is not about us, but about that car accident!" Xu Que smiled.

Lin Yuxi froze, yet still shook her head and said, "What I mentioned includes the matter of the car accident; I don't want to bring any of this up again. I am genuinely happy that you are still alive; those are my true words, so let's leave it at that!"

Having said this, she turned around, preparing to leave.

Liu Xiaoli and Huang Cheng stood in the middle, somewhat astonished, looking first at the turning Lin Yuxi, then at Xu Que.

At this moment, Xu Que's eyes narrowed slightly; he stepped forward directly, instantly blocking Lin Yuxi's path, and said in a cold voice, "Classmate Lin, I'll say it once more: tell me all the details about the car accident from back then, otherwise don't think about going anywhere today!"

Slap!

The step Lin Yuxi had just taken froze instantly, and she looked at Xu Que in shock.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the Xu Que before her was becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

Those cold eyes, the aggressive dominance, and that terrifying aura—none of it belonged to the Xu Que of back then!

"You..." Lin Yuxi couldn't help but take a step back, her face turning somewhat pale.

At this point, Liu Xiaoli could no longer stand it; she immediately squeezed forward and said, "Xu Que, what do you mean? Whether Lin Yuxi wants to speak or not is her own business; on what grounds are you stopping her from leaving! I warn you to move aside, or I will call the police!"

"Hehe, call the police? Then go ahead and call!" Xu Que smiled lightly as if describing something trivial, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Yuxi.

Call the police?

What this Awesome Saint wants to do, even if you call the gods, it will be useless!

Liu Xiaoli was instantly furious, gritting her teeth and saying, "Fine, those are your words!"

She directly took out her Mobile Phone, really pressed the number, and prepared to call the police!

"President Liu! Wait!" Suddenly, Lin Yuxi spoke up to stop her, then looked at Xu Que and said, "Fine, I will talk with you; how do you want to talk?"

"Follow me!" Xu Que responded faintly with a sentence, then stepped toward the end of the corridor, where the hotel's open-air platform was located.

Liu Xiaoli hurriedly looked at Lin Yuxi and said, "Yu Xi, you don't need to pay him any mind; this is the Dalaideng Hotel; with just one word from me, security will immediately come and drive him out!"

"No need, President Liu." Lin Yuxi shook her head gently and whispered, "Perhaps only by telling him some of the truth will he give up!"

Having said this, Lin Yuxi stepped forward and followed Xu Que.

Eventually, the two arrived at the open-air platform; standing by the railing, they each gazed down at the city below, silent and speechless.

"Haven't been back for a few years; the changes are quite significant!" Xu Que spoke first, a faint smile on his face.

No matter how long he had been away, after returning to Earth, he always felt this place remained very dear.

"Your changes are also very great!" Lin Yuxi turned her head to look at Xu Que and said lightly.

In her memory, the Xu Que of back then was a Sunlight-filled and Handsome boy.

He was very kind and very smart; although sometimes he acted carefree and frivolous, he had his own bottom lines and principles, making him a good boyfriend who was easy to get along with and very warm.

Whoever he treated well, he treated with genuine sincerity, because deep in his heart, he possessed a sincere Goodness that made people feel very close to him.

But now, Lin Yuxi could no longer feel that closeness.

She found that the Xu Que before her had matured compared to back then, and had also gained a kind of terrifying dominance and coldness.

Although this dominance and coldness were hidden very deeply, and if she hadn't spent time with Xu Que, one could hardly detect it, she could confirm that Xu Que was no longer the Xu Que of back then.

"It doesn't matter whether my changes are great or not! Actually, I'm looking for you mainly for two things!" Xu Que shook his head; he didn't intend to chat idly with Lin Yuxi, only wanting to clarify some matters as soon as possible before departing for Mount Tai.

"First, who was the mastermind behind that car accident back then? Second, where is my younger sister?" Xu Que got straight to the point and asked directly.

Lin Yuxi froze, then smiled with a slight hint of self-mockery: "I thought one of your questions would be asking me why I broke up with you back then!"

"I don't care about that point!" Xu Que shook his head, "Everything is the Creation of fate; there is no need to dwell on the why! Moreover, I already have someone to accompany me for a lifetime!"

Saying this, Xu Que's gaze swept toward the high sky, in the direction of the Moon!

"Then... congratulations!" Lin Yuxi was momentarily stunned, then smiled faintly.

Xu Que had found a new beloved; she felt no discomfort, for their relationship had ended years ago, and now she could only feel happy for him.

That Xu Que had returned alive and found someone to spend his life with released her from the self-blame that had weighed on her heart for all these years!

"Thank you!" Xu Que nodded indifferently. "Now, can you answer my question?"

Lin Yuxi fell silent for a moment, exhaled deeply, and said softly, "I don't know where your sister is now, but I heard that a year after your accident, she went abroad to study, and she may not have returned to the country yet!"

"As for that car accident back then, I indeed know who arranged it. Back then, your sister and several of your good brothers all questioned me about it, but I didn't tell them, because..."

Pausing slightly here, Lin Yuxi gazed at Xu Que and said with a grave expression, "Because that person is the son of the Xia Family Head, the head of the number one great clan in the Capital City—Xia Luoqing!"

"Good, I understand!" Upon hearing this, Xu Que nodded indifferently and turned to leave immediately.

The Xia Family? Xia Luoqing?

Very good, just you wait! I, Xu Que of the Awesome Heaven Gang, will definitely send you some warmth!
