Chapter 4758 - Everything Stems from Greed and Fear of Death (I)

However, at this moment, a fiery red figure suddenly came crashing towards this side.

Lin Huai was caught off guard and stumbled as he was hit.

The Yellow Spring Fruit in his hand was also snatched away.

Mu Yan was still weak and feeble at this point, and could only strain to look up.

She saw that Lin Wan had woken up sometime ago and was holding the pale yellow Yellow Spring Fruit in her hand.

The eyes, which were as clear and bright as a child's, became unfathomable and looked at Lin Huai without any emotion.

Eventually, Lin Huai stood up straight and looked at Lin Wan, "Wan'er, what are you doing? Quickly return the Yellow Spring Fruit to my brother?"

"Brother! Do you remember what you promised me a thousand years ago?"

Lin Wan's voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear, just like the voice of the most innocent little girl.

But the tone in which she spoke at this time contained an eerie coldness.

"You said that just that one time, if I helped you that one time, you would let Brother Little Nine go. And that you would also try to find a way to lift the [Yellow Spring Spell on the Other Side] for him. So you've been lying to me all along? It was hard to find the Yellow Spring Fruit, why don't you give it to brother Little Nine?"

Lin Huai narrowed his eyes at her, "Wan'er, so you haven't been crazy all this time?"

"Crazy?" Lin Wan's voice became incomparably sad and choked, "How could I not be mad, a thousand years ago, when you tricked me into using the [Yellow Spring Charm on the Other Side] to save brother Little Nine's life, I was already mad! How much I want to forget everything that happened in the first place, how much I want to go back to before I knew Little Brother Nine, at least then I won't harm him."

Mu Yan suddenly asked, "What have you done to my master?"

Lin Wan looked at her and whispered, "Are you Brother Xiaojiu's disciple? That inheritance test hidden in the Skylight Ruins was something you discovered?"

Mo Yan nodded, "What exactly happened back then?"

But Lin Wan didn't answer him anymore, but looked at Lin Huai without a split second: "Brother, since I was a child, I haven't asked you for anything. The first thing was that I wished to be with brother Xiaojiu, but you didn't agree. I don't blame you because you are the only family I have in this world."

"But now can you promise me the second thing? That's the only thing I'm asking you to do, give this Yellow Spring Fruit to Little Brother Nine, so he can live, okay? He used to truly think of you as a brother, too!"

Lin Huai sighed softly as tears spread over his eyes, making his entire body look extremely sad and powerless.

"Wan'er, Xiaojiu treats me like a brother, and I've never truly treated him like a brother. But things in the world are so unpredictable, a thousand years ago I had to plant the [Yellow Spring Curse on the Other Side] on Little Nine in order to save you. A thousand years later, I chose not to save him, and not for myself, but for the future of the entire Nine Li Tribe, and even the heavens."

Lin Huai said as he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Wan'er, be good, stop it, give the Yellow Spring Fruit to brother, okay?"

Lin Wan took a step backwards, the Yellow Spring Fruit squeezed tightly in her hand.

Her pale face was full of wrinkles making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.

But that pair of water-washed eyes clearly revealed her emotions.

She didn't believe what Lin Huai said.

"Brother, a thousand years ago, did you really do it to save me?"

Lin Wan looked straight into Lin Huai's eyes and said word by word, "Or did you never want me to be with brother Xiaojiu from the beginning? So in the most gruesome way possible, we'll never see each other again in death."
