Chapter 29: Because You Are Not Him!

Zhen Zhibing never imagined that one day, he would be so close to the woman he thought about day and night, and even be under the same small roof.

He really wanted to go up and take this woman for himself, but he did not dare!

The Passionflower entwining her feet not only tortured this ethereal Little Dragon Maiden, but also made Zhen Zhibing afraid to approach!

“You know, you didn’t have to end up like this. Even if he came to save you, you wouldn’t survive. This flower carries the Passionflower Poison, and the only antidote is gone. This is an incurable poison!”

Zhen Zhibing took a deep breath, looked at Little Dragon Maiden, and spoke.

Little Dragon Maiden, who had been silent and quiet, finally slowly raised her head and looked at Zhen Zhibing. Her calm eyes showed no emotional fluctuation: “I know! And I know even better that all of this was your idea!”

Little Dragon Maiden truly knew!

Ever since she frequently saw Zhen Zhibing on Mount Zhongnan and noticed the undisguised lust in his eyes, she knew his feelings for her!

However, she ignored him, and she did not want to kill him!

Because he was not worth it!

“You know?” Zhen Zhibing was startled, but then he suddenly flew into a rage, his face becoming incredibly hideous: “Since that is the case, why don’t you like me? Do you know that I think of you and long for you day and night? My feelings for you are far greater than what he gives you. Why does he—why does he get to have you!”

People can be crazy!

Especially when someone in a one-sided love discovered that the person they loved so bitterly liked someone else, they became hideous and insane.

And this was exactly how Zhen Zhibing felt now!

He felt that because he loved her, she had to love him back; there was no other choice!

Little Dragon Maiden’s calm expression finally changed, but she soon smiled. She smiled so beautifully and charmingly that Zhen Zhibing actually stopped roaring.

“What are you laughing at?” Zhen Zhibing asked.

“Do you know where the difference between you and him lies?”

“Where?” Zhen Zhibing was slightly stunned, then spoke with a hurried tone. He wanted to know why—how could he win her heart!

“Because you are not him, and you can never become him!” Little Dragon Maiden’s eyes were full of tenderness. As her feelings rose, the Passionflower Poison attacked her heart, causing blood to leak from the corners of her mouth, and her face became twisted in pain.

But that was all. Her gaze remained unchanged and gentle. This was an expression she only had when she thought of him.

Zhen Zhibing’s expression changed repeatedly—hideousness, anger, unwillingness, and Resentment—then his face filled with a cold sneer.

“I am not him, and I will never be him. But I know that he will die, while I will live well. As for you, I cannot have you, and neither can he!” After saying this, he gave a cold snort and walked away with a flick of his sleeve.

Looking at the departing Zhen Zhibing, Little Dragon Maiden smiled!

However, within this smile, there was a deep sense of worry.

It was not for herself, but for him!

…

Two days passed.

Inside the main hall of Passionless Valley, the expressions of Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, Sun Bu’er, and the others became worse and more solemn.

Zhen Zhibing remained inconspicuous, standing quietly to the side. He knew how to hide his presence.

In the Jianghu, such people often lived much longer!

“Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, that kid probably isn’t coming, right?” Sun Bu’er frowned. Two days had already passed, and the boy had not arrived. Could it be that he had really abandoned Little Dragon Maiden and didn’t dare to come!

If that were the case, wouldn’t their hard work in capturing Little Dragon Maiden be for nothing?

Thinking of this, Sun Bu’er felt full of unwillingness!

“He will come. He will return!”

Imperial Preceptor Jinlun sneered. He believed he would return!

Although he had not had much contact with the boy, he believed he would come!

Because in the boy’s bones, there was a kind of pride and persistence that even he did not possess. More importantly, the boy was a romantic!

Since they captured his woman to threaten him, how could he not come?

“But…” Sun Bu’er was still worried. Among everyone present, the one with the deepest hatred for Wei Ziqing was none other than Sun Bu’er!

The slap from Wei Ziqing at the Hero Assembly that day had completely humiliated her. Even now, thinking about it made her feel incredibly angry and ashamed!

Just as Sun Bu’er was about to say something, a commotion suddenly came from the door. A Disciple of Passionless Valley, covered in blood, ran in with a panicked look.

Seeing Gongsun Zhi, Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, and the others, he said urgently: “Valley Master, something is wrong! Someone has broken through the gate. The Disciples have already…”

Seeing the Disciple enter, everyone’s expression changed. Hearing the Disciple’s words, they abruptly stood up from their chairs.

Sun Bu’er interrupted the Disciple and asked urgently: “Is that Wei Ziqing has come!”

“Wei Ziqing?” The Disciple was about to speak, but his words stopped halfway. Not only him, but the expressions of Sun Bu’er and the others also changed abruptly.

A bright red sword blade was protruding from the chest of the Disciple. Blood dripped along the blade onto the floor, making a crisp drip-drop sound!

“Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? Since that is the case, I have come to fulfill your wish!”

The Disciple slowly collapsed. Behind him, a young man in white clothes stood there with a calm face. The sword piercing through the chest was the Azure Light Sword in his hand!

Beside him was a lean man dressed in a green scholar’s robe and a square cap of the same color, looking like a literati!

“It’s you! Wei Ziqing!”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Imperial Preceptor Jinlun and the others were stunned and then cried out in surprise!

But when they saw the scholar beside Wei Ziqing, everyone’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

“The Master of Peach Blossom Island, the Eastern Heretic!”

The youth was indeed Wei Ziqing, and the man looking like a scholar was the famous Eastern Heretic!

The expressions of Sun Bu’er and the others, and even Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, changed!

The shock of the name Eastern Heretic was simply too great. As a titan of the entire Wulin, how could he not shock them!

One Wei Ziqing had already made them worried, and now the Eastern Heretic had arrived as well!

At this moment, they felt uneasy!

Unlike the sudden change in Sun Bu’er and the others, Wei Ziqing was incredibly calm, as if the hideousness he showed when he first heard that Little Dragon Maiden was captured a few days ago was merely an illusion!

To him, the group of people before him were nothing more than strangers!

But only Huang Laoxie knew that at this moment, the calmer Wei Ziqing was, the more it represented his anger!

Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, even the Eastern Heretic could not help but shudder inwardly!

The peace here, compared to what was outside, was simply the difference between the human world and heaven!
