Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Right or Wrong

Sunset dusk.

Yang Linglong and Qiuyuan Hongmei finally descended from the pillar on Nanshan.

"A bet is a bet, I lost today’s challenge, and I will post a concession notice on the internet."

As Qiuyuan Hongmei spoke, she tore off her armband.

And handed it to Yang Linglong.

This was her token of faith, and it also served as evidence of her defeat.

To this, Yang Linglong did not refuse but stretched out her hand to receive the armband.

"Alright, if you win next time, I’ll give it back to you then."

"No problem, just make sure to take good care of it. I’ll win it back soon. At that time, you won’t need to show up in person; your mask will suffice."

Qiuyuan Hongmei’s smile was filled with genuine happiness.

Clearly, for her, this loss was an unexpected blessing.

Not only did she retrieve her life, but she also gained a friendship she’d never experienced before.

At this moment, she was no longer the lofty Saintess.

Just an ordinary girl.

"If you want my mask, you might have to wait until your next life. In the competition, I will not be lenient."

Yang Linglong laughed just as happily.

After all, the two of them, who had similar personalities, shared too much in common.

That afternoon, they talked about everything, from the south of the sky to the north of the sea.

They talked about too many things.

"I am very much looking forward to our next meeting."

Qiuyuan Hongmei waved her hand and got into the car prepared by Hino Hiroshi.

She wasn’t dead, so she had to fulfill all the obligations that followed.

And Hino Hiroshi, who was driving, squinted at Lin Fan, standing to the side.

His eyes were burning with anger.

"I’ll remember what happened today."

"I hope you remember it well."

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He was always open to a challenge.

"Quite deep, and I will make sure you never forget any of this."

Hino Hiroshi stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped away into the distance.

Lin Fan watched the car’s silhouette disappear, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists.

He knew that there must be a battle between them in the future.

So, he suppressed the boiling blood that was about to erupt.

Just as the Heavenly Master had said, conspiracies that stay in the dark are the most frightening.

Therefore he had to endure.

Waiting for the conspiracy to surface, then to strike like thunder.

At this moment, Yang Linglong also came up behind Lin Fan.

She fiddled with the hem of her clothing, clearly seeing Lin Fan’s clenched fists.

"Are you upset about me saving Qiuyuan Hongmei just now?"

"You shouldn’t take such risks for others. It’s no laughing matter, and you’re not a deity."

Lin Fan turned around, his tone becoming stern.

He didn’t deny the anger in his heart.

Deep down, he didn’t wish to see Qiuyuan Hongmei saved by someone.

"But... but I couldn’t just watch her die... After all, she didn’t do anything wrong... You also said she was just a puppet in someone else’s hands..."

Yang Linglong hung her head low, not daring to look into Lin Fan’s eyes.

Even though she knew it would make him angry, she still couldn’t help herself.

"Some people just shouldn’t be saved... Forget it, I’ll take you home."

Lin Fan glanced at Yang Linglong’s right hand, which was hidden behind her back.

It was injured as she attempted to save someone just now.

He took a deep breath, calming his emotions.

He turned and walked toward the car.

"Mm!"

Yang Linglong pursed her lips.

She climbed into the passenger seat without saying a word.

Her heart was in turmoil, yet she couldn’t find any topic for conversation.

And so, they rode in silence, driving back to the Yang Family home.

"Won’t you... come in and sit for a bit?"

The car stopped at the front door, and it was then that Yang Linglong mustered up her courage.

But when she saw Lin Fan’s cold gaze,

she knew there was already an answer.

So she could only open the door and get out of the car.

Before she could speak, Lin Fan had already slammed down on the accelerator.

The car roared off into the distance.

"Damn it, I’m really in big trouble now!"

Watching the disappearing car, Yang Linglong felt a tightness in her chest.

Lin Fan had never been this cold to her before.

Especially when he knew about the injury on her right hand, yet he didn’t show any concern.

And with his silence all the way back,

her heart had truly plummeted to rock bottom.

At that moment, feelings of being wronged surged in her.

Tears inevitably began to flow from the corners of her eyes.

At times like this, the only person she could confide in was Ning Mengyao.

......

When Ning Mengyao saw Yang Linglong enter the office looking dispirited,

and then collapse onto the sofa,

she was taken aback.

The usually sunny and cheerful Linglong, how had she suddenly become so despondent?

It was as if the sun had risen from the west.

"Linglong, don’t scare me,"

she said, hastily getting up and walking to the sofa.

Ning Mengyao was so nervous she didn’t know what to say.

But Yang Linglong didn’t say a word, she just threw herself into a hug.

And sobbed uncontrollably.

"I’m doomed... I’m really finished this time!"

Her choking voice overwhelmed Ning Mengyao with concern.

She had no idea what had happened and didn’t know how to console her.

She could only pat her back in confusion.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry... even if the sky falls, you still have your sisters to hold it up for you. Don’t worry, if you’re feeling bad, just cry it out for a while, and after crying, you’ll feel much better..."

After much consoling, Yang Linglong finally stopped crying.

However, by this time, Ning Mengyao had noticed her right hand, mangled and bloody.

"What on earth happened to you? Do we need to go to the hospital? Your wound is so deep."

A worried Ning Mengyao hastily asked the secretary to bring the first-aid kit.

And began carefully cleaning the wound on her right hand.

The bruised and torn flesh was almost exposing the bone.

But Yang Linglong seemed to be unaware of the pain, sitting numbly,

silently gazing out of the window.

That soulless look in her eyes really frightened Ning Mengyao.

Finally, after disinfecting and bandaging the wound,

Ning Mengyao took the chance to ask.

"Linglong, tell me, what on earth happened? Don’t stay silent, I’m really scared."

"Meng Yao, I have a question for you, answer me truthfully,"

Yang Linglong finally lifted her head after a long pause.

She held Ning Mengyao’s hand tightly and said, "If, I mean if... If a thoroughly wicked person was in mortal danger, and you had the ability to save her, would you extend a helping hand?"

"Of course not, why would you suddenly ask that?"

Ning Mengyao looked at Yang Linglong, puzzled.

Such an abrupt and difficult question was too hard to answer.

"Then what if that person might become thoroughly wicked in the future, or if her ancestors were thoroughly wicked, but she herself is just an ordinary person with a somewhat pitiable background, and she’s in danger, would you still extend a helping hand?"

Wiping the tears off her face, Yang Linglong continued to press.

Right now, she just wanted to know whether what she had done was right or wrong.

"That question... I never thought about it... but nobody knows what the future holds, if she is a good person at present, I would probably save her because the future is unpredictable,"

said Ning Mengyao, holding Yang Linglong’s hand.

She tried to assess this seemingly unwarranted question with empathy.

Yet, this made Yang Linglong feel even more aggrieved.

"So, did I really do something wrong?"
