Chapter 1312 - 1312 1298 A Bolt from the Blue

Chapter 1312: Chapter 1298: A Bolt from the Blue Chapter 1312: Chapter 1298: A Bolt from the Blue Ye Chen knew Guo Yuyun’s stubbornness. If she found out the truth and made a decision, she would completely lose all reason. No one could predict what would happen next. How could he let such a thing occur?

“I know what you’re worried about, but what happened with Nangong Yan was just an accident, just an accident.” Ouyang Yue continued, “Don’t see an accident as the truth, okay? You both like each other so much, why cause both of you to suffer?”

“Then tell me, what can I give her?”

“Why are you even worrying about that? If she really wants to be with you, she won’t care about these things.”

“She might not care, but I do. I can’t harm someone else.”

“What else is there to harm, at worst, it’s just living a part of life with you.”

“You’re oversimplifying things.”

“Aren’t you overthinking it then?”

Ye Chen’s mind was a mess. If Song Xizhi and Guo Yuyun split up, it would probably be because of him. What on earth was that girl playing at? Right now he was particularly confused, especially because of what Song Xizhi had said earlier.

From his perspective, Song Xizhi was definitely the best choice for Guo Yuyun. Any rational person, no matter how you looked at it, would conclude that Guo Yuyun’s best choice was Song Xizhi.

“Alright, I don’t know what else to say. It’s all your own choice. But I know that what you think is right might not necessarily be seen as right by others.”

Ye Chen didn’t respond. He couldn’t take in what he was trying to say.

He felt a splitting headache.

“Haven’t you ever thought about being with her? No matter what happens, at least cherish this time.”

“You mean, be with Yun’er now, and when I really fall into demonic possession, let Yun’er be with Song Xizhi?”

Ouyang Yue looked at Ye Chen and said, “That’s true. Song Xizhi wouldn’t be so foolish. After all, he’s a Sect Leader’s son. By that time, he may have found someone else. How could he possibly keep waiting for Yun’er?”

Ye Chen chuckled coldly and continued eating his dumplings.

“But Yun’er doesn’t care about these things, so why do you?”

“She’s just a reckless girl who would do anything crazy.”

“Well, I’m actually quite envious of her. People like that are usually more open-hearted and carefree, but I just can’t do it.”

Ye Chen was sure something important would happen tomorrow.

“If Yun’er really finds out, avoiding it won’t help. I think you should accept it. Let neither side suffer so much.”

“Accepting it is what’s painful.” Ye Chen knew that Guo Yuyun had taken a long time to move on from her own matters and finally accepted Song Xizhi. How could he bear to break them up like that, especially when he couldn’t provide any guarantee for her?

He figured Guo Yuyun’s life would really be over if he thought like that.

“I think you’re just overcomplicating things. It’s really not that complex.”

“You’re oversimplifying it. It’s not me who’s overcomplicating.”

“I really don’t want to argue with you about this; I just think you’re too pessimistic.”

Ye Chen shook his head, pondering what he would face if Guo Yuyun truly found out about him and Ouyang Yue tomorrow. That girl wouldn’t give up easily.

She definitely wouldn’t. There must be a reason to completely drive her to despair; he couldn’t just disrupt the relationship between Song Xizhi and Guo Yuyun.

Breakfast was very tense, no one mentioned what happened last night. Anyone who did would be opposing everyone else.

Black Demonic Spirit would definitely be the first to run; he hadn’t even left the doorstep when Song Xizhi stood up too, saying that he needed to help Li Mo and the others.

In less than half a moment, it was just Guo Yuyun, Ye Chen, and Ouyang Yue left.

The atmosphere was somewhat suffocating. Ouyang Yue couldn’t take it anymore and said, “You two should talk.” And then she stood up to leave.

Ye Chen looked around and saw that everyone had left, then he said, “I’m full too.”

However, before he could stand up, he was pushed back into his seat by Ouyang Yue.

Yet, Guo Yuyun remained quiet as if nothing had happened, continuing to eat.

Ye Chen was afraid of seeing her like this; though her expression hadn’t changed, she exuded an intense murderous aura that could annihilate an enemy thousands of miles away.

“Don’t go, I have something I need to tell you,” Guo Yuyun spoke for the first time that morning.

Ye Chen then sat back down in his original spot, pretending not to know anything.

“I have already made things clear with Song Xizhi.”

As expected, Ye Chen could guess the content but pretended to know nothing, “Made what clear?”

“Do you still need to pretend?”

“Pretend what?”

“That you and Ouyang Yue are a couple.” Guo Yuyun was ready to go all out.

As expected, she knew, damn it, who told her, the Black Demonic Spirit? Otherwise, how could he run away so quickly?

“It wasn’t the Black Demonic Spirit who told me, I have known for a long time, do you still want to keep acting? Your acting is not very good.” Guo Yuyun put down her chopsticks and poured herself a cup of tea.

“We really aren’t suitable.” Ye Chen didn’t know what else he could say.

Guo Yuyun, who had decided to persist, had already anticipated this and said, “Anyway, last night, I already made things clear with Song Xizhi, we are not going to be together.”

“You’re not going to tell me that you want to be with me, right? I haven’t agreed to it.”

“I knew you would say this, but this time, I won’t give up.”

He could feel a strong stance, as if two armies were clashing, ready to charge at any moment—it was that exact feeling.

“Even if you don’t give up, I still won’t be with you.”

“Still, you want to say you’re with Ouyang Yue, right?”

That path with Ouyang Yue was a failed one, Ye Chen said, “Yes, I have nothing with Ouyang Yue, but I also cannot be with you. It’s over, look ahead.”

Guo Yuyun glared at Ye Chen and said, “Is it because you could slip into demonic possession at any moment and you’re afraid of harming me?”

Ye Chen knew that reasoning wouldn’t be enough to push Guo Yuyun back, as this girl had made up her mind to break up with Song Xizhi and wouldn’t be fooled by a simple excuse. He said, “It’s not entirely because of that.”

Guo Yuyun coldly said, “Fine, then tell me what other reasons you have.”

“Because of your sister.”

“My sister?”

“Yes, I still like your sister, my heart holds only your sister, are you satisfied now?”

Guo Yuyun really got angry and exclaimed, “You have to bring up my sister to make me miserable, don’t you?” She clearly looked very incredulous and agitated.

“I didn’t want to make you miserable, what I’m saying is the truth. You must have heard about what happened in Bell and Drum City. The one who made me regain my sanity was your sister, not you. I believe you understand what that means. So, my heart has always had a place for your sister, and I have never been able to let go of her.” He had to say something stimulating enough to convince Guo Yuyun and continued, “I cannot accept being with you while my heart loves your sister.”

“But didn’t you agree to marry me at first?”

“That was when I didn’t know myself, how much I actually liked your sister. After the incident in Bell and Drum City, I knew how much I couldn’t let go of your sister.”

“Do you have to say these things to provoke me?”

“It’s not to provoke you, these are my true thoughts. I have always liked your sister, and Bell and Drum City made that clear to me, so no matter what, I can’t be with you.” He had thought about it all last night, the whole night, and decided it was best to return to reason. He couldn’t allow his own feelings to ruin the relationship between her and Song Xizhi, absolutely not, even if saying these things might hurt her, it would only be temporary.

Guo Yuyun glared fiercely at him, as if she wanted to devour him. Honestly, in that moment, she didn’t know whether what he was saying was true or false, but one thing she did know was that Ye Chen’s heart truly held her sister.

“Everything I said is true, the honest truth. The reason I lied to you about my death was that I didn’t want to bring danger upon you, and the other was because of your sister. I didn’t know how to be with you.” Ye Chen decided to be firm, to give a convincing reason, regardless of whether it would hurt her or not, he had to speak his mind as he could find no better way.

Guo Yuyun was completely infuriated, her decision made over several days, only to be met with such a response from him. Strong as she may have been inside, this was unbearable.

“What, you still don’t believe me? Don’t do something foolish. Have a good life with Song Xizhi. He’s better than me, more outstanding than me. Otherwise, you will regret it. Just listen to me, stop overthinking, and go back with Song Xizhi.” Ye Chen knew she must be very angry, extremely upset, particularly hit hard.

But he didn’t know what else he could do.

“Consider it my fault; I owe you for the rest of my life, and I will repay you by any means. Just have a good life with Song Xizhi. He truly is not bad.”

Guo Yuyun, who was already fuming with rage, stood up and gulped down her tea.

Ye Chen wished she would splash the tea on him, which might have helped him feel a bit more relieved, easing his conscience, but she did not do so.

Guo Yuyun’s eyes were red, she intended to use all her strength, but the result she received in return seemed to shatter her heart instantly.

Without turning her head, she walked out of the inn, not saying a word.

Ye Chen did not chase after her. He believed that this was not the time to do so; he had to be ruthless. If he couldn’t be, then all would be in vain. Although he knew that doing so meant inviting calamity from the heavens, he still chose to do it.

He had to be definitive. It was a decision he had made after a night of contemplation, knowing it would hurt someone deeply.
