469: Chapter 469: This is a Trap 469: Chapter 469: This is a Trap All the companions summoned by Lin Xi quickly learned of her solution, and as expected, Gu Fan was the first to object.
He felt it was too dangerous and the people of Shennv Xuanhui couldn’t be trusted.
Lin Xi expressed her trust in Qian Feng.
The Qian Feng she ca to know was not always approachable and could be obstinate but always kept her word.
Lin Xi believed that all would be over once she took the punishnt, and she would be able to live a normal life.
Gu Fan shook his head and replied, “Lin Xi, you might trust Qian Feng, but I do not.”
Lin Xi answered, “You know, the last ti Qian Feng had the chance to capture , she didn’t.
That’s why I trust her.
Because she knows how important my parents are to in this life.
She let go because she still harbors deep sisterly love for .
Otherwise, she would not persistently want to return to Shennv Xuanhui to face punishnt.”
After so careful consideration, Su Hui decided to agree with Lin Xi and said, “Given our current situation, there seems to be only one solution.
We’ve suffered in this city for over a month because of our actions.
It’s our responsibility to fix this.”
Du Jun voiced a different opinion, “If Shennv Xuanhui goes back on their word, isn’t that like sending Lin Xi into the jaws of death?
We’d lose Lin Xi then.”
Indeed, this was also Gu Fan’s concern.
Given their capabilities, it would be incredibly difficult to challenge Shennv Xuanhui, let alone rescue Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded, “I understand the risk involved.
But, haven’t we accepted risks throughout our journey?
Gu Fan, haven’t you gambled during our ti in the Outlands, and at Yuxueyun Mountain?”
Gu Fan’s face darkened.
He didn’t respond, but instead stood by the window, watching the snowstorm outside.
His eyes flashed with hesitation and struggle.
Lin Xi approached him and leaned on Gu Fan’s shoulder from behind.
“Okay, I know you’re worried about .
But we’ve run out of options.
You need to trust your girlfriend.
I might even overco this more easily than you think.”
Gu Ling, who was watching from the side and resting his chin in his hands, looked impressed, “It’s not that I endorse this, but your willingness to take responsibility shows that you’re a good person.
To prevent the worst-case scenario, why don’t you two get married before anything happens?”
“What does that even have to do with anything?
You’re just talking nonsense.” Gu Fan, annoyed, went over and tugged Gu Ling’s ear, “This is a serious eting.
Please refrain from stirring trouble.”
Gu Ling pouted in displeasure, “I’m not causing any trouble.
I’m being serious.”
Previously, everyone had forbidden Lu Yi to speak for fear he would be a voice of doom.
Now, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
He finally spoke, “Fine.
Whatever Lin Xi and Gu Fan decide is up to them.
All of us are rely suggesting a stance.
We support any decision you make.
If Lin Xi goes to Shennv Xuanhui as agreed, and they go back on their word, and refuse to let go, we will do anything to bring Lin Xi back regardless of what we might face.”
Jie imdiately perked up, “Exactly, that’s what I an as well.”
Seeing that the fellows have spoken, Su Hui also nodded, “Alright, Lin Xi chose to take the risk.
So, Gu Fan, what’s your decision?
Should Lin Xi go or not?
You’re the one to decide.”
“Is it my decision?” Gu Fan was indecisive.
He didn’t want Lin Xi to sacrifice herself, but also acknowledged that they had brought this upon themselves and therefore bore the responsibility to solve it.
After much thought, Gu Fan finally made up his mind, “Since you’ve always supported my decisions, Lin Xi, I will also support yours.
No matter what happens, I will do everything in my power to bring you back.”
“Thank you, Gu Fan.” Lin Xi’s heart ward.
The feeling of being supported by everyone gave her the courage to face whatever was to co.
However, they still needed to formulate a plan.
In case the other party went back on their word, Su Hui and the others went to formulate it.
anwhile, Gu Fan and Lin Xi went upstairs to talk.
“What are you thinking about?
You’re not secretly against her plan, are you?” Lin Xi was worried and wondered why Gu Fan wanted to talk to her privately.
Gu Fan looked serious, “Tell , is the friendship between you and Qian Feng as deep as the friendship between , Lu Yi, and Jie?”
Understanding his aning, Lin Xi sighed slightly, “Qian Feng and I grew up together, experienced hunger, suffered beatings, fled from danger, and faced various difficulties.
Our bond as sisters is strong and up to this day, I firmly believe in this.”
However, Gu Fan was skeptical, “Then why does Qian Feng continually target you?”
“It’s because our bond is so deep that Qian Feng cannot accept the one who has been at her side leaving her.
Isn’t it like how if your parents suddenly abandoned you one day, wouldn’t you hate them?
The deeper your love, the deeper your hate.” Lin Xi’s words touched Gu Fan’s heart, and he began to understand.
This was not as simple as the rules of Shennv Xuanhui.
It was Qian Feng’s internal struggle.
“I see, but there’s sothing I don’t understand.
The first ti I t Qian Feng, she seed to care too much about you..even touching you…I want to know, is your relationship with her really as simple as sisterhood?” Gu Fan looked at Lin Xi with a puzzled expression which made Lin Xi very embarrassed.
She finally could only say, “I also didn’t expect Qian Feng to do that that night.
I was just as surprised.”
Gu Fan stroked his chin, deep in thought, “Could it be that I have another love rival in Qian Feng?
What is this?”
“What are you thinking?” Lin Xi was annoyed and punched Gu Fan.
Gu Fan smiled, treating his words just before as a joke and continued, “The last ti, Qian Feng let you go because of your deep sisterly bond.
That is to say, with Qian Feng around, you will not be in danger.
It seems like our chance of winning this ti is quite high.”
“Yes, it’s because I trust Qian Feng.
Therefore, this ti I have great confidence.” Lin Xi had just finished speaking when Gu Fan shook his head again, “But I’m worried it won’t be that simple.
Qian Feng is making you walk willingly into a trap and she will undoubtedly have so tricks up her sleeve.
Even if she doesn’t hurt you, she might do sothing else.”
“This…” Lin Xi was a little worried, afraid it would turn out just like Gu Fan said.
Even if Qian Feng kept her promise, there was no guarantee that Qian Ying wouldn’t use so petty tricks with Qian Feng’s silently agreed.
Lin Xi thought that maybe she could still back down.
But then, the roaring wind outside seed to remind her that she had no room for retreat.
She could only face the difficulties ahead.
