Chapter 3699: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (38)

Ning Shu was truly too curious about what Chong Xuefeng would do. Would he magnanimously forgive everything and get back together, acting like an engaged couple, and then get married and live out their days?

Or would he completely give up on Qin Nianzhi?

Ning Shu clicked on the video to see the situation upon Chong Xuefeng's return. The scene was the brothel. Chong Xuefeng was speaking with Qin Nianzhi. Ning Shu turned the volume up a bit and heard Chong Xuefeng's voice, "Junior Sister…"

"Did I not tell you to stop coming?" Qin Nianzhi said stiffly. "Senior Brother, our fate is already over."

Qin Nianzhi's words immediately choked Chong Xuefeng. His face flushed red, and his expression was extremely strange.

Chong Xuefeng's face twitched as he said, "Junior Sister, I came to bid you farewell. I am leaving this place."

Qin Nianzhi's expression changed instantly. In Qin Nianzhi's heart, it was Chong Xuefeng who had let her down. He was the one who killed the man she loved. No matter how much he did, it couldn't make up for that mistake.

Now he was actually leaving. Was Chong Xuefeng not guilty at all? Qin Nianzhi faintly understood in her heart that this man no longer loved her. She asked hoarsely, "Have you fallen in love with Yin Nanlian? That is right, my pure body has already been defiled by someone, and now I have even been sold into a brothel. You must feel incredibly humiliated to have a betrothed like me."

Chong Xuefeng: …

Was she blaming him?

Why did she not remember that she wanted to run away with Situ Xun twice, and had done so in front of so many people? It seemed there were some things only she could do while remaining innocent, but if others did them, it was wrong and they had to endure her harsh criticism.

She was lenient with herself and strict with others!

Chong Xuefeng felt exceptionally exhausted. He said indifferently, "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."

"Qin Nianzhi, you only remember that I killed Situ Xun, yet you cannot remember a single good thing I have done?" Chong Xuefeng looked at the emaciated Qin Nianzhi.

The flesh on Qin Nianzhi's face hadn't recovered. From the moment she met Situ Xun, the collagen in her face had begun to drain away. She no longer had that chubby, youthful, and beautiful feeling.

Qin Nianzhi almost cried as she said, "Why did you have to kill him?"

Hearing this, Chong Xuefeng nearly died of anger. "Do you not know why I killed him?"

Was there even a need to ask? It was the hatred of having his bride stolen. Moreover, the man had humiliated him like that. Could he not kill him?

Was he supposed to build a shrine for him instead?

Chong Xuefeng looked at Qin Nianzhi with eyes full of utter disappointment, yet Qin Nianzhi said, "You clearly knew that both of you were very important in my heart. You clearly knew I would be sad and heartbroken."

Chong Xuefeng's shoulders slumped. "Oh, you would be sad and heartbroken. Would I not be sad and heartbroken? What exactly do you want me to do?"

If you swapped Qin Nianzhi for a man who had this kind of attitude toward two women saying, ‘Both of you are very important in my heart,’ while remaining entangled with both of them…

The scumbag would be told to explode on the spot. It was the exact same nature.

He didn't know why Qin Nianzhi felt so justified in hurting someone else.

Chong Xuefeng took a deep breath, turned around, and left, without even mentioning the matter of redeeming Qin Nianzhi.

As soon as Chong Xuefeng left, Qin Nianzhi collapsed softly onto the floor, crying a river of tears. Why could her senior brother not understand her painstaking efforts? She had never wanted to hurt anyone.

The madam saw Qin Nianzhi crying with snot and tears, and a look of annoyance appeared in her eyes. Even though she looked like this, she still thought she was some peerless beauty and kept throwing tantrums about not wanting to receive patrons. Well, she had to receive them whether she wanted to or not.

Having a bitter face every day made her irritable to look at. Even the men who came to the brothel seeking pleasure would lose all interest when faced with a face so bitter it could wring out bitter water.

She was probably some daughter of a wealthy family. Moreover, that man had come a few times. It looked like he had some intention of redeeming this woman, but every time he came over, she would either cry or contort her face into a bitter expression. It truly made the madam…

She didn't know what there was to be arrogant about.

She also didn't know where she got such confidence. It truly made the madam's teeth ache just looking at it.

Angering the madam meant Qin Nianzhi would go without food again. Once she was starving to the point of collapse, she would naturally drop that little bit of wealthy miss temper. In order to survive, a person would do anything.

The possibility of Qin Nianzhi recovering the flesh she’d lost had now dropped further.

Ning Shu originally thought Chong Xuefeng wouldn't redeem Qin Nianzhi, but Chong Xuefeng ultimately did redeem her. The price went down from the previous asking price of five hundred taels down to the current fifty taels. The madam could also see that Chong Xuefeng didn't really want to redeem her, so fifty taels could still be considered a profit.

Even though he redeemed Qin Nianzhi, she still didn't want to leave with Chong Xuefeng.

Seeing Chong Xuefeng like this, Yin Nanlian silently sighed and bade him farewell. This man was destined not to belong to her. The time they spent together had still failed to make this man fall in love with her.

The one he loved was always Qin Nianzhi, and he never abandoned her.

Hearing that Yin Nanlian was leaving, Chong Xuefeng pursed his lips and nodded, letting her go.

Yin Nanlian: …

In the end, it was a one-sided enthusiasm.

Yin Nanlian said ‘I wish you happiness’ to Chong Xuefeng and then mounted her horse.

Chong Xuefeng looked at Yin Nanlian's back and remained silent.

After finally returning to his senses, he took out a little silver and gave it to Qin Nianzhi. "Live well on your own."

This was the last thing he could do so that Qin Nianzhi wouldn't have to sell her smiles for a living in a place like a brothel.

Qin Nianzhi took Chong Xuefeng's money, turned around, and left. If she were made to live with Chong Xuefeng, she truly couldn't bear it. Seeing Chong Xuefeng's face brought up scenes in her mind of him killing Situ Xun.

Chong Xuefeng: …

Chong Xuefeng also turned around and left, but in the opposite direction from Qin Nianzhi. The two walked further and further apart, the distance between them growing ever wider.

Qin Nianzhi looked back and saw Chong Xuefeng's retreating figure. She immediately shed tears. Her eldest senior brother had truly changed. Before, he would coax her, but now he was completely indifferent to her.

Qin Nianzhi originally thought Chong Xuefeng would insist on making her live with him, but Chong Xuefeng had never even thought about it.

Her martial arts were gone, and she had no skills to support herself. How was she supposed to live in the future?

Qin Nianzhi stomped her foot. Seeminglyout of spite, she quickened her pace and ran faster and faster.

From beginning to end, Chong Xuefeng didn't look back, nor did he ever think of going back to find Qin Nianzhi.

Ning Shu closed the video. What was relatively regrettable was that Chong Xuefeng and Yin Nanlian ultimately didn't get together.

Even though Ning Shu kept dragging the progress bar, what she saw at the very end was Chong Xuefeng taking in two disciples to teach. He ran east and west every day, and never truly a place where he could truly settle down.

But Chong Xuefeng appeared quite satisfied. It seemed he had never thought about being with anyone, nor did he go look for Yin Nanlian.

Could it be that Chong Xuefeng hadn't moved on from the matter with Qin Nianzhi?

What was quite funny was that Qin Nianzhi carried Chong Xuefeng's money and went to spend it all on eating and drinking. However, she had no income. In the end, she was kicked out by the inn and was going to end up on the streets. This was the current fate of a beauty who was once on the martial world's beauty ranking.
