The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

88. It Was I Who Killed My Senior Brother

Lin Nuo feigned unconsciousness, and then he was carried out, only to be awakened by the elders and revered teachers using their methods after a while.

Upon awakening, he heard the familiar sound of a young girl’s sobs. Turning his head, he almost wanted to pass out again.

The person he saw upon waking was Su Kexin, crying with tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms, as fragile as wilting peach blossoms, utterly forlorn.

“Thank goodness, senior brother, I… I thought you were going to leave me…”

Su Kexin dabbed at the tears by her eyes, her sorrow turning to excitement.

Lin Nuo: ???

What’s going on? Isn’t this just a mental fortitude trial? Isn’t it normal for a second-order cultivator like me to faint from shock? Why does Su Kexin look as if she’s attending a dead horse’s funeral?

Lin Nuo looked around. This place was a gathering spot for unconscious cultivators, with some lying around as if dead. The elders and revered teachers of the Xuan Yun Sect were diligently working on them, stabilizing their chaotic emotions.

So why was Su Kexin here? He remembered her overcoming the darkness in her heart, could she be a volunteer for the support group?

“Why are you here?”

“I… don’t laugh at me, senior brother.”

Seeing Lin Nuo awake, Su Kexin’s mood improved slightly, and she smiled, “Master said I couldn’t overcome the darkness of the illusion, and my spirit couldn’t bear it, so I fell unconscious, and when I woke up, I was here.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Nuo found it strange. Had he remembered wrong? Was Su Kexin actually unable to overcome the dark illusion?

It was possible, after all, he had been mainly focused on Qin Shili. He was very clear about Qin Shili’s state; she could overcome the darkness of the illusion. Moreover, the fact that she wasn’t here proved it, as the cold and ruthless Qin Shili would remain undisturbed even in the face of major events, her strength and mindset always at the forefront among her peers.

As for Su Kexin, the rising star, she was still weak. And because she hadn’t become a battle chicken yet, she should be nipped in the bud.

“Senior brother, how are you feeling now, is there any pain anywhere, do you have any wounds on your chest, is your breathing smooth?”

An anxious Su Kexin observed Lin Nuo non-stop, like inspecting a patient.

“Stop, stop, I’m fine.”

Lin Nuo quickly stopped Su Kexin, “Even if I was killed in the illusion, I wouldn’t be injured in reality.”

“Ah, senior brother, you remember being killed?”

Su Kexin was startled, not expecting that he would know about her inexplicably killing him in the illusion.

It seemed that this was no ordinary personal illusion, but rather a virtual world that gathered people’s consciousness!

“Of course, I remember, don’t you remember your own illusion?”

Lin Nuo said amusedly. This mental fortitude trial by the Xuan Yun Sect had one major feature: it was sensational yet too realistic, just like reality. The side effect was also very clear, as dark memories that appeared in the illusion would linger for a long time, hard to erase.

Everyone remembers everything about the illusionary realm, for it’s like a sensational event in reality, seared into the mind, impossible to dismiss.

Lin Nuo claimed that his death in the illusion was a lie, merely a rumor. He was killed by his inner demon, and not just him, even Cong Zhenren who entered his illusion was killed by it.

Speaking of which, where is Cong Zhenren now?

Oh, still lying down, unable to wake up for quite some time. Even if he wakes up, he will be listless, plagued by nightmares every night, and if his kidneys are weak, he’ll suffer from frequent urination.

“I, I certainly remember…”

Su Kexin suddenly lost her confidence, lowering her voice, “Senior brother, I really didn’t mean it, I don’t know why it happened… It was so sudden… It wasn’t intentional… Please believe me, senior brother…”

Su Kexin pouted and bowed her head in apology, her moist eyes shimmering with a plea for Lin Nuo’s forgiveness.

She had secluded herself with him in the Peach Blossom Garden within the illusion, living a blissful life, only to see everything destroyed. The garden was engulfed in flames, a knife inexplicably appeared in her hand, and she stabbed him, watching him helplessly.

That scene was too horrifying, the beauty of it all ruined before her eyes, now vividly etched in her memory, lingering like a dense shadow.

Lin Nuo listened, confused.

What does this illusion have to do with you? It wasn’t your doing, but the work of those old fools.

At that moment, Han Xianzi walked over from Liu Shuqin’s side.

“Lin Nuo, you’re awake. How are you feeling now? Your illusion seemed sealed, we couldn’t probe into it, and Cong Zhenren used a secret method to enter your illusion, but then he also fell into a coma and hasn’t woken up yet. What exactly did you experience in the illusion?”

“I was killed by someone.”

“Killed? Do you remember what that person looked like?” Han Xianzi was quite puzzled.

At this point, Su Kexin interjected, “Master, it was, it was me… But I didn’t do it on purpose, I’m not sure why it happened, but I truly didn’t intend to kill senior brother…”

“What, you killed him?”

Han Xianzi found it quite strange, but then she suddenly remembered seeing her dark illusion, where she killed Lin Nuo.

She gently tapped Su Kexin’s forehead:

“Silly girl, you’re not in the same illusion.”
