Chapter Eighteen: A Hundred Knots of Sentiment

  Ling Jing's face was still deathly pale, firstly because he had lost too much blood earlier, and although the system could treat his injuries, it couldn't immediately replenish the lost blood. Secondly, recalling the past events that this body had always been unwilling to touch upon had shocked his mind, enraged him to the point of attacking his heart, making his face even paler.

  Yue Lingshan saw him covering his chest, looking painful, and thought he was having another relapse. She anxiously said: "Ling Jing, you should lie down again, wait until your body gets better before getting up."

  A flicker of worry crossed her face, after all, when she first saw Ling Jing, the wounds on his body were really too terrifying, and the clothes on his body had been soaked in blood and stuck to his skin. There were no less than ten knife wounds all over his body, and the most frightening one was a sword wound on his chest that penetrated into his lungs, which almost frightened her into fainting at the time.

  Ling Jing glanced at her lightly, and this Yue Lingshan was indeed stunningly beautiful, with every frown and smile seemingly able to move people's hearts, making one involuntarily feel a liking for her.

  He thought to himself, no wonder whether it was Linghu Cong in the original storyline or his previous self and Linghu Cong in this world, they were all infatuated with her.

  But he was no longer the original "Ling Jing", and in the original plot, this woman could abandon Linghu Chong for a Lin Pingzhi, and in this world, she could also be ambiguous with Linghu Chong behind her back. He really couldn't generate any good feelings towards such a woman, no matter how beautiful her appearance was.

  Moreover, in the original plot, Linghu Chong treated her with utmost kindness and righteousness. Even after being betrayed by her, he still regarded her as his own sister. Even Ren Yingying, who eventually became Linghu Chong's partner, probably couldn't surpass Yue Lingshan's position in his heart.

  But even so, Linghu Chong was still unable to win her back.

  But this woman can abandon Linghu Cong, then she must not be a person with firm feelings. However, in the end, she can still be loyal to Lin Pingzhi, which is really unbelievable.

  As for why Yue Lingshan would take a liking to Lin Ping, he himself found it quite strange. When Lin Ping joined the Huashan sect, his family had already been destroyed and his martial arts skills were extremely low, not even comparable to Lu Dahai's. If one were to carefully consider it, the only thing that could be considered worthy of note about him was probably just his pretty face.

  Could it be that this little role with a combat power of less than fifth grade actually made Linghu Chong suffer a crushing defeat in the emotional arena? Is Yue Lingshan really a color controller?

  But according to his observation, Linghu Cong was also quite good-looking. Could it be that Lin Pingzhi was so handsome that he could shock the heavens and move the earth, and thus won the heart of Yue Lingshan?

  The more he thought about it, the less he thought of Yue Lingxuan. Adding to that the experiences this body had before, at this moment he didn't have a good expression either. He faintly said to Yue Lingxuan: "No need for Shifu's sister to worry, you didn't go to Da Shixiong's place, what are you doing running here?"

  Yue Lingshan's face turned pale, her eyes reddened in an instant, and tears welled up as she said, "You're still teasing me, aren't you?"

  Ling Jing looked at her coldly and sneered: "Annoy you? Ha, what qualifications do I have to annoy you."

  Yue Lingshan couldn't help but let her tears fall, saying: "I know you're still mad at me. Since that time, you haven't spoken a word to me. Are you planning on ignoring me forever?"

  Yue Ling Shan didn't mention that matter, but now that she has brought it up, Ling Jing's anger in his heart has grown even more intense. Others may not be clear about what happened during those two days when he disappeared, but how could he himself possibly not know?

  However, the angrier he became, the calmer his tone grew. He spoke lightly to Yue Lingxuan: "Does it matter whether I care about you or not? On the other hand, you and Shifu are a perfect match, but you're here with me now. If Shifu misunderstands, that wouldn't be good."

  He gave Yue Lingxuan a faint smile and said, "So, if you continue to stay here, it's really not convenient. You'd better hurry up and take care of Big Brother Shifu." He didn't know that Lin Pingzhi had already been taken away, thinking that Yilin would also bring him back.

  Yue Ling's slender body trembled slightly, and at this moment, Ling Jing's smile in her eyes was so strange. Her heart was like being stabbed with a sword, the pain pierced through her chest, and she choked and trembled: "Why do you think of me like that? Why didn't you give me a chance to explain?"

  Ling Jing sneered coldly and asked back, "Explain? Why do you need to explain to me? You are you, I am me. What you want to do has its own reasons, why bother explaining it to me?"

  He was extremely displeased with this woman in his heart, and now Lin Ping had not yet appeared on the scene. If that time came, he feared that this woman would again turn to Lin Ping's arms as she did in the original story.

  Thinking of this, he felt an indescribable anger and bitterness in his heart, with a strange mood that couldn't be put into words.

  He knew that this body's original emotions had mixed in, if it were just his own emotions, at most he would have been unwilling to provoke Yue Lingxuan, and would have looked down on her with disdain, but this body still instinctively couldn't let go of this woman, which made him feel extremely strange at the moment.

  Yue Lingshan could no longer bear the pain in her heart, covering her face and sobbing. Each of Ling Jing's words was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart one by one. She cried out: "You still don't want to believe me, but can't you really understand my thoughts?"

  Her question made Ling Jing feel a sudden and inexplicable sense of annoyance, he secretly resented the lingering emotions in this body that refused to dissipate, causing his mood to be affected by it multiple times.

  He paused slightly and said coldly: "How can I guess your mind?"

  After finishing speaking, however, he only saw Yu Ling Shan looking at him with tears in her eyes, her tears slowly flowing down from her cheeks, and she looked pitiful beyond words. He suddenly felt annoyed in his heart, why did this woman suddenly stop talking again, just staring at him until he felt uneasy all over.

  He furrowed his brow and said, "Don't you go see Big Brother yet?"

  Yue Lingshan shook her head, silently weeping. After a moment, she said: "I want to always be by your side."

  Listening to her say that, Ling Jing's heart didn't know whether to be angry or amused. He thought to himself, "Since you won't leave, then I will." He lifted the quilt off his body and got out of bed.

  However, the injuries on his body had only been restored to seventy percent by the system. This movement made him sweat coldly and stiffen suddenly, and a burning pain came from his chest.

  Yue Lingshan hastily grasped his arm and cried out anxiously: "You, what are you doing? Don't you know how badly you're hurt? Even if you don't want to see me, don't joke with your own life!"

  Ling Jing also felt a bit depressed in her heart, this system had finally managed to play the role of a good person for once, but just as things were going well, it suddenly stopped caring, it seemed that the system really didn't have the potential to be a good person after all...

  P.S: Tears streaming down my face, this emotional scene took a whole day to write, deleting and revising repeatedly, feeling suffocated...
