Chapter 741: Chapter 741: The Eight Characters of Life are Cursed with Solitude, Destined for a Life of Loneliness and Hardship

Under Qin Ruan’s watchful gaze, Ling Xiaoxuan looked deeply into her eyes.

Her pale face broke into a faint smile, her tone extremely serious: "Without little uncle, even if I am lucky enough to survive, my life could be worse than what you’ve experienced in West City."

Knowing that Ling Zeheng and Ling Xiaoxuan were not blood-related and realizing their complicated mutual feelings left Qin Ruan in shock.

She never imagined that the person who wasn’t part of the Ling bloodline would be Ling Xiaoxuan.

Suppressing the surprise in her heart, Qin Ruan shook her head calmly: "I still don’t understand. Since you’re not related by blood, why did you choose to marry Lei Ning?"

She found this decision somewhat unacceptable.

So foolish.

Ling Xiaoxuan’s lips were devoid of color, trembling slightly like willow leaves.

If possible, who would want to be separated from their loved one?

With reddened eyes, she said, "Having a crush on someone doesn’t necessarily end in heartbreak, but over ninety percent of the time there might be no response from the other party.

One day, if this crush gets an equal response, wouldn’t that be a fortunate thing?"

Qin Ruan nodded in agreement.

Receiving a response to one’s feelings IS indeed a wonderful thing.

Ling Xiaoxuan’s lips curved into a negative arc, her voice choking: "But this feeling is doomed to not have a good ending. You once said whoever marries me is blessed for eight lifetimes, said that I have a prosperous husband’s aura. Look at me now?"

She looked over at Qin Ruan, allowing her to get a clear look at her face.

Qin Ruan watched as Ling Xiaoxuan’s exquisite, pale face expressed such sadness, despair even though there were no tears.

She felt a strangely sour feeling welling up in her heart.

Sitting upright, she looked closely at Ling Xiaoxuan with faint golden light emerging in her eyes that none other could see.

Once before, Qin Ruan had seen Ling Xiaoxuan’s soul. Although it could not be said to be as pure as a blank page, it was clean.

Now looking again, her face was slightly dark.

A faint Black Evil Fog was permeating all around Ling Xiaoxuan, almost the same as on the third master.

No! It’s not the same!

The Evil Qi on Ling Xiaoxuan was scattered, as though another phantom was forcibly stripped from her own soul.

To put it precisely, it was more like Lei Ning after reincarnation.

Qin Ruan’s face stiffened. Her expression was not pleasant as she murmured to herself, "Why has it become like this?"

Ling Xiaoxuan: "What do you see?"

Qin Ruan glanced at her: "There is another phantom on you, just like Lei Ning."

Lei Ning spoke: "I hypnotized her and recovered her past life’s memories."

Shocked, Qin Ruan, a member of the reincarnated ones, looked at Lei Ning in disbelief: "This is unscientific!"

She had never heard of someone who wasn’t reincarnated, being able to recover memories from their past life.

Lei Ning laughed, a faint arc forming at the corners of his lips: "Madam Huo the Third, you’ve experienced mysterious events which science cannot explain, doesn’t it sound absurd to say those words now?"

Qin Ruan’s lips twitched: "What happened in the past life?"

Deep sadness was revealed in Ling Xiaoxuan’s reddened eyes: "Qin Ruan, when I met you at school in June, did you already experience reincarnation?"

Qin Ruan pursed her lips and nodded.

Ling Xiaoxuan said self-deprecatingly: "If you hadn’t reincarnated, hadn’t saved me that night, I would have died soon."

Qin Ruan didn’t counter, as she had detected Ling Xiaoxuan enveloped by the blood mist back then, knowing that she was on borrowed time.

When she found out about her death in her previous life, Qin Ruan was deeply embroiled in a family feud that she couldn’t escape.

This life, naturally, she won’t just stand by watching her die.

Ling Xiaoxuan leaned against the light blue pillow on the couch, her voice regained a bit of calm: "In my previous life, I died, but I lived again. My little uncle contacted the Witch Clan with great effort, saved me with their secret technique, turning me into an undead, a mutant not human nor a puppet.

Lei Ning was my psychotherapist in my previous life, he witnessed the tragic ending of my little uncle and me being together..."

She told Qin Ruan everything about the memories she recovered from her previous life.

Talking about Ling Zeheng’s death, tears fell from Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyes again. She wiped them off with her fingertips, her voice soft: "My little uncle died, all because of me. How can I destroy him, let him experience the same pain again in this life."

Over these months, after learning of the tragedies of her past life, it took her a long time to accept them.

But the sorrow in her heart can never be erased.

Her affection brought death to Ling Zeheng.

In this life, she dared not get close to him again.

The words of Master Hui Cheng from Nanyin Temple still echoed in her ears.

Doomed to a life of solitude by the fate inscribed in her birth data, either in life or death, if she stays with the one she loves, one of them will surely be injured, there’s no solution in this life.

Whether she’s alive or dead.

As long as she’s with Ling Zeheng, there’s guaranteed to be no happy ending.

Given this, she chose to let go.

She is willing to bear all this alone and not bother him anymore.

Ideally, Ling Xiaoxuan’s spirit of dedication to love should be touching.

But Qin Ruan could not accept it, she instinctively pulled out her phone.

She knew Master Hui Cheng from Nanyin Temple, they had interacted a bit in the WeChat group [Emperor Beitai Above].

He claimed to be able to calculate Ling Xiaoxuan’s fate, she needed to confirm this personally, otherwise, she couldn’t believe it all.

She was deeply pained and not willing to accept that Ling Xiaoxuan thought of sacrificing herself and choosing a path where everybody else would be safe.

She evaluated the situation from her own perspective and thought of herself with Third Master.

If she switched positions with Ling Xiaoxuan, she would become incredibly violent, filled with a destructive rage.

Third Master would never put her in such a situation!

Qin Ruan opened the WeChat group and mentioned Master Hui Cheng of Nanyin Temple, She sternly said to Ling Xiaoxuan, "Senior sister, although I am touched by your spirit of selflessness, I cannot agree with you.

In my opinion, no matter what or who it is that you want, you should strive to get and keep it, that is the most appropriate thing to do.

Although I can’t relate to your feelings for Ling Zeheng, if you truly love someone, you should strive to possess them, not push them away.".

After mentioning Master Hui Cheng in the chat group, Qin Ruan did not receive a response from him.

She looked up, her eyes filled with doubt, and stared at Ling Xiaoxuan, asking, "Do you truly like him?"

Impacted by her experiences in her past life, Qin Ruan had an instinctive obsession in her character in this life.

Ling Xiaoxuan didn’t get angry from Qin Ruan’s suspicion about her feelings for Ling Zeheng, she replied bitterly, "Indeed, when you like someone, you want to possess them at all times, but the prerequisite is that he is alive."

"I think you’re too pessimistic right now, and there are many things you haven’t figured out yet. The senior sister I know is brave and determined, she dares to act even when she is unaware that there is no kinship between you and Ling Zeheng. She dares to break through social conventions and loves selflessly without expecting anything in return.

All the obstacles are gone now, but you are retreating. You shouldn’t torment yourself to the point of death because of things from your past life!"

Without realizing it, a hint of grudging resentment slipped into Qin Ruan’s tone.

She had once envied Ling Xiaoxuan who was raised by a prestigious family. Xiaoxuan was unrestrained and unconventional, unconditionally indulged by her family, and her path ahead was arranged carefully.

Seeing Ling Xiaoxuan now, it was as if the person she used to look up to has been cast to the ground.

Ling Xiaoxuan should never have lost her vitality completely like this, the precious traits she had should not just disappear.

Qin Ruan wanted to pull her up, to get her back to where she was.

Feeling Qin Ruan’s resentment, Ling Xiaoxuan looked at her and fell silent for a long time.

After a while, she spoke softly, "Qin Ruan, you have definitely never wholeheartedly loved someone. If you have, you would have had a lot of concerns.

I will never push the person I love into the unknown danger that lies between life and death, not even a tiny bit of danger is acceptable."

Qin Ruan’s expression hardened, her gaze determined, "That’s too indecisive, I will not put myself in such a situation."

Ling Xiaoxuan forced a smile, "What about Third Master?"

Qin Ruan frowned, "Third Master?"

Ling Xiaoxuan stabbed her in the heart, "He died in his thirties in his past life, do you like him? How would you feel if you had to watch him die one day?"

"Xiaoxuan!"

Qin Ruan’s voice turned chilling cold, filled with a murderous ferocity.

Staring at Ling Xiaoxuan’s cool gaze, which held an icy coldness as if beneath three feet of ice, and her face looked even more frighteningly stern.

As if she hadn’t felt Qin Ruan’s anger, Ling Xiaoxuan responded, "Junior sister, don’t tell me, you haven’t thought about this issue, do you know what the outside world is saying about Third Master?"

Qin Ruan retracted the dangerous aura that she was releasing, and her voice became icy cold, "What are they discussing?"

Ling Xiaoxuan asked again, "Third Master has been staying at Champs Elysees Manor for two to three months, right? Do you know what it means when he stays there?"

Before Qin Ruan could ask, Ling Xiaoxuan told her, "It means that Third Master’s health has weakened to a point where his life is threatened. Champs Elysees Manor is a place where the Spiritual Mountain Gate master personally set up for him to recuperate.

If he stays there for just a few days, it’s fine. But if he stays there for so long, people outside are saying that Third Master may not even have ten years left, and his death is nearing."

Qin Ruan abruptly stood up.

Looking into Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyes, which were dark and bottomless, her dilating pupils reflected a mysterious chill, her elegant face turned bone-chilling cold.

The outburst of fury and the oppressive force around her came crashing down, uncontrollably.

Staring into Qin Ruan’s deep, dark eyes, Ling Xiaoxuan felt chilled to the bone.

Qin Ruan held her lips closely together for a moment, and her anger and murderous aura quickly dissipated.

"I’m sorry, I lost control." she said to Ling Xiaoxuan in a low voice. "Senior sister, I came here today for your sake, I hope you can try to be a bit more rational."

Ling Xiaoxuan had been scared by Qin Ruan, she swallowed, and forced herself to remain calm, "I am very rational, rational to the point where I keep hypnotizing myself in my conscious mind, telling myself that I no longer like Ling Zeheng."

She even started to call him directly by his name, not even referring to him as little uncle anymore.

Qin Ruan looked serious, her gaze steadfast, "Perhaps because of our differing personalities, I still believe that if you like someone, you ought to overcome any trials, even mountains of daggers and seas of flames, to be by their side.

I have started contacting Master Hui Cheng from Nanyin Temple, don’t act recklessly, keep your phone on, and make sure I can reach you, wait for my message."

Qin Ruan had emotion bottled up inside her, it didn’t go up nor down, she didn’t know who she was pushing against.

Ling Xiaoxuan didn’t expect that she was still concerned about her issues even though she was so pointedly prickly.

She could no longer maintain the cold front she had put up.

Ling Xiaoxuan slowly lowered her head, and said gloomily, "Qin Ruan, I’ve told you before, I’ve seen my little uncle die right in front of me, I can’t go through that pain again. If there’s not a 100% guarantee, I’d rather not like him anymore."

Qin Ruan said coldly, "I know!"

In the end, she still couldn’t calmly face Ling Xiaoxuan’s straight-to-the-heart words.

Qin Ruan held her icy gaze on Ling Xiaoxuan and Lei Ning for a while, then she turned and stormed off.

Her walk wasn’t as leisurely as when she arrived, she seemed a little more hurried.

She didn’t want to stay a moment longer.

She wanted to see Third Master, only then could she calm down.
