NOVEL WEB chapter 89
89. I Just Want to Hold My Senior Brother Now
“No, isn’t it…” Su Kexin murmured softly.
“No, your illusions are separate, how could they be connected?”
Han Xianzi sighed lightly, it seemed the dark illusion had frightened the child silly.
Han Xianzi then turned to Lin Nuo, “Lin Nuo, was it Kexin who killed you?”
“It wasn’t her, it was an unknown person, wearing a skull mask, I couldn’t see his face,” Lin Nuo said earnestly, as if it were true, “But why do you ask if it was her who killed me?”
“Because…”
Han Xianzi was about to speak, but then she swallowed her words, “It’s a private matter, I’d rather not say. Kexin, don’t mind it, you’re not in the same illusion, you needn’t blame yourself. This might leave some unpleasant memories, but it’s also a test of your ability to adjust. A truly excellent cultivator would never be disheartened by the darkness of an illusion. Besides, isn’t Lin Nuo still here?”
As Master Han Xianzi, it is still necessary to guide the disciples towards positive development. A blessing in disguise, although this trial of the heart has left her with unpleasant memories, it is also a great opportunity to temper herself.
Su Kexin understood, yes, her senior brother was still there. It was just an illusion, all fake. She did not personally kill her senior brother. The nightmare was over, and everything was back to normal.
But the emotions of that moment were real. She was genuinely afraid that Lin Nuo had died, and even more so by her own hand. If it had been real, it would probably have become an indelible shadow in her life.
Perhaps it was precisely because of experiencing this life-and-death separation that she needed to cherish the people before her, cherish her senior brother.
Lin Nuo, listening, seemed to have some clues, and asked:
“So what was your illusion? A dark illusion? Don’t tell me I was in it?”
Su Kexin walked up to him, shook her head, and smiled:
“That’s not important anymore, senior brother. What’s important is to live in the present.”
Su Kexin couldn’t help but open her arms and hugged Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo: ?!
“What are you doing?!”
“Please let me be a little presumptuous, senior brother. I’m just too excited. I almost thought we were separated by life and death forever. It was just a nightmare, and now I’m awake. In the future, I want to grow with you, to become heroes who save the world!”
“?! “
Lin Nuo was baffled. What the heck, what’s all this fuss about? Who wants to join you in becoming a hero?
What is this, the protagonist’s passive skill of influencing the villain to take the righteous path?
And what’s with this sudden hug? Is it a skill to kill the villain with righteousness?
“Let go, there are so many people, aren’t you embarrassed?”
“No! I want to hold you right now, senior brother!”
Su Kexin was resolute, not caring about the people around her. She had watched Lin Nuo die with her own eyes, although it was just an illusion, it felt very real. Now that she could see Lin Nuo alive, she definitely wanted to hold him tight.
Yes, hold him tight, preferably forever.
This time, regardless of others’ views, she wanted to be willful.
At this moment, Su Kexin was indeed incredibly strong, and Lin Nuo couldn’t break free, tightly embraced by Su Kexin.
“Lin Nuo, Kexin needs comfort right now, just let her be a little wild. Besides, being relied on by a girl means you’re destined to be a great man.”
Master Han Xianzi patted Lin Nuo’s shoulder and then left.
Lin Nuo: …
What the heck, I need comfort right now too. A villain who has been hugged by the protagonist is like being cursed, how far can death be!
Su Kexin held him, buried in his embrace, and all the disciples around them looked their way. Some were cheering, some were jealous, some male cultivators were moved by the scene and hugged their brothers, weeping.
And somewhere, Liu Shuqin also witnessed this scene, feeling a bit bitter in her heart, sensing that the distance between her and her junior brother and sister was growing further.
She began to fall into confusion again, but the noise of the crowd couldn’t cover up her loneliness.
……
The mental ordeal had ended. Those who could endure remained standing, while those who couldn’t were carried out. For the disciples, it was far from a pleasant experience. Forgetting the darkness of the illusion would take a considerable amount of time.
The plump Master Cong had been lying down for a day and finally woke up. However, his spirit was hazy, his eyes were blurred, and he felt a sincere panic.
“Am I… am I not dead?!”
Master Cong shouted, his voice tinged with fear and excitement.
“You entered Lin Nuo’s illusion and soon after, you fainted. Your condition was just like those disciples who couldn’t withstand the darkness of the illusion, and you’ve been unconscious for a day. What exactly did you see at that time?”
Master Zhao approached and inquired.
Master Cong sat up, the scenes of the illusion still vivid in his mind, his fear lingering.
“Yes, the illusion. I was in the illusion, and at that time, I found myself in utter darkness. Then I illuminated it with spiritual light, but later, I was attacked by someone wearing a skull mask. He was very strong. In front of him, I was powerless, and in the end, he killed me.”
Master Cong recounted everything he saw in Lin Nuo’s illusion truthfully. He had wanted to conceal it, but the fear in his heart compelled him to speak the truth.
“And Lin Nuo? I didn’t see him when I entered his illusion.”
“He said he was killed by an unknown person, probably the same one you encountered,” Master Zhao replied.
