Chapter 153: Afi: You Are No Longer My Friends!
Chapter 153: Afi: You Are No Longer My Friends!
"How do you know if I'm happy or not?" Afi glared at Li Xunhuan, then turned to You Longsheng and Ding Baiyun, "I don't need you to worry about me!"
Even Li Xunhuan was taken aback, leaving Lin Lingling speechless. However, Ding Baiyun remained unfazed.
"We're not worried about you. Lin Xian'er didn't deceive us," Ding Baiyun scoffed, "Even if Lin Xian'er slept with a hundred men, what does that have to do with us?"
Afi glared at Ding Baiyun, "She hasn't been with any man, and I won't let you insult her!"
Ding Baiyun was left speechless by Afi's words, "Are you truly confused, or are you pretending to be? Bailiao Sheng and Xin Jian listened to Lin Xian'er so obediently. Could it be because she was a smooth talker?"
Li Xunhuan added, "Now that you're apart, you may suffer temporarily, but if you stay together, you'll suffer for a lifetime. You seem to understand everything else, but why are you so blind in this matter..."
"Enough!"
Afi interrupted Li Xunhuan angrily, "What qualifies you to lecture me when you can't even handle your own affairs?
You're just a fool who deceives yourself, willing to push the one you love into a pit of fire, all the while thinking you're noble and virtuous!"
Li Xunhuan took a step back, but Afi continued coldly, "Even if she brings me misfortune, what about you? What have you brought to others? You've ruined Lin Shi'er's happiness for a lifetime, and you're still not content? Now you want to ruin mine too?"
Li Xunhuan bent over and coughed, feeling that he might have coughed up blood if not for Ding Baiyun's earlier scolding.
On the other side, Afi turned to You Longsheng, "Are you going to try and persuade me too?"
You Longsheng stroked his chin, "I don't intend to persuade you. I'm just curious."
"Curious about what?" Afi had regained his calm, "I'd like to see what else you have to say to make me leave her."
"I'm just curious if Lin Xian'er ever mentioned that I gave her a Fish Intestine Sword."
You Longsheng blinked innocently, "Did she tell you why I gave her that sword? Did she tell you the circumstances under which I presented it to her?"
Afi's face turned pale again as he realized that he had never considered the possibility of a connection between You Longsheng and Lin Xian'er!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Afi took three steps back, his eyes darting between You Longsheng and Li Xunhuan. He couldn't help but tremble.
Li Xunhuan's gaze at Afi was filled with pity and concern.
You Longsheng's gaze, on the other hand, held only sincerity and purity.
"I don't believe you! You're lying to me!"
Afi repeated these words, perhaps the only way he could convince himself otherwise.
"You're insulting her!"
Afi took a deep breath, "Why are you forcing me to leave her? Is it because she made a mistake? Is it because you think you're my friends and I should listen to you?"
Li Xunhuan's face fell, "Do you think we're insulting her?"
"Isn't that what you're doing?"
Afi turned away, refusing to meet anyone's gaze, "I'm going to find her. You're no longer welcome in my home!"
"Also!" Afi's voice carried a hint of sorrow, "From now on, you are no longer my friends!"
...
Afi left.
He left with determination.
Li Xunhuan didn't stop him, nor did You Longsheng.
His heart rejected the truth, and his emotions deceived his own heart. The only ones who could help him out of this mess were himself and Lin Xian'er.
Perhaps Shangguan Jinhong and Lv Fengxian could be of some use?
As You Longsheng said, sometimes the words of an enemy are more effective than those of a friend.
As for now...
Although Li Xunhuan was certainly not afraid of Afi's quick sword, he would never fight Afi, and You Longsheng definitely wouldn't either. Who knew if Afi would go berserk?
Li Xunhuan looked at Afi's retreating back, his eyes filled with sorrow and pain. "Do you think that if I had stopped Afi from going to find Lin Xian'er back then, none of this would have happened? Did I make another mistake?"
"Of course." You Longsheng nodded in agreement as he continued sharpening his knife.
Li Xunhuan closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly as his expression twisted with pain.
Then he heard You Longsheng continue, "What do you think, if I make fun of him about how he cut ties with us today after he wakes up, will he draw his sword on me?"
Li Xunhuan, "...'
"Do you think he'll be able to get out of this?" Li Xunhuan asked.
"Of course." You Longsheng replied matter-of-factly, "What's true will never be false, and what's false will never be true. The fact that Afi was still able to maintain his wild instincts and abilities two years later, and was able to track you down with Jing Wuming, proves that he hasn't wasted his potential."
"But he still can't escape the trap Lin Xian'er set for him." Li Xunhuan said.
You Longsheng spread his hands, "Then it depends on whether Lv Fengxian and Shangguan Jinhong are reliable or not."
Li Xunhuan asked worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that they'll really kill Afi?"
You Longsheng shook his head, "I'm not worried. Afi is just a simple fool. Who would be willing to kill a fool who can only provide entertainment?"
Li Xunhuan was speechless, "If he really wakes up, I'll tell him what you think of him today."
You Longsheng snorted, "There's no need for you to say it. I'll mock him for the rest of his life. I saved his life, and as long as he's awake, he definitely won't draw his sword on me."
Li Xunhuan, "...'
"So what do we do now?" Li Xunhuan asked, "Given Afi's current state, we can't provoke him anymore."
You Longsheng looked at Li Xunhuan as if he were an idiot, "You've been out for so many days, and you're not planning to go back to Xingyun Villa to see Lin Shi'er? Are you planning to keep carrying this baggage around?"
Lin Lingling pouted, "I'm not baggage!"
You Longsheng patted Lin Lingling's head, "You're not baggage, you know how to make the bed and cook, but unfortunately, we don't need those skills!"
"Alright, stop blaming yourself."
You Longsheng said to Li Xunhuan, "You have to know that at that time, Lin Xian'er had already saved Afi from Tie Di. Afi and Lin Xian'er traveled together on the way to Shaolin Temple, and he had already fallen in love with her.
Even if you had stopped Afi from going to find Lin Xian'er back then, how could you have stopped Lin Xian'er from going to find Afi afterward?"
Li Xunhuan remained silent, as his thoughts turned from Afi to himself.
Long Xiaoyun had already appeared, and Long Xiaoyun was with him. Would they return to Xingyun Villa?
Would it be appropriate for him to go back now?
