She knew that Xia Ling was not a bad person by nature. It was just that she had been too heavily traumatized, which had twisted her mind, resulting in many unforgivable mistakes. However, if she could just let go of those things, she could still start anew. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He genuinely did not want her to carry these burdens all her life, nor did he want her to continue down the wrong path. He was even more worried that she might do something even worse amidst these mistakes.
"Ling’er, trust me. I promise you, as long as you can let go of the past, this time, I will still let you leave, allowing you to live a free and easy life."
"Are you afraid that I’ll shatter the Shengxue Pearl?" Xia Ling sneered, "Xia Qingcheng, do you think I don’t know what you care about the most? What you care about is the Xia Clan. As long as I don’t do anything to harm the Xia Clan, you’ll always find a way to let me go. But even if you forgive me, will that little thing forgive me? Don’t make me laugh. As much as I hate you, he should hate me just as much."
"Then let me atone for your sins. The amount of hate he has for you, he can direct it at me." Xia Qingcheng looked at Xia Ling, "As long as you put down the Shengxue Pearl." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Years ago, it was his mistake. He trusted her too much and gave her a bottle of blood.
It was his moment of weakness when he saved her.
So now, all the outcomes were caused by him, and all the consequences should also be borne by him.
As long as she doesn’t do anything foolish, he is willing to atone for her sins.
"In the end, isn’t it still for the Xia Clan?" Xia Ji stood up, quietly looking at Xia Qingcheng. "When will you be able to put aside the Xia Clan? Do you know that this damn sense of responsibility of yours sometimes doesn’t necessarily save people but might harm them instead? Why don’t we make a bet? If you win, I’ll put the Shengxue Pearl back."
Xia Qingcheng shook his head, "I truly don’t know, but I am the Clan Leader of the Xia Clan. I can die, I can be obliterated, but my clan members cannot be in danger. I won’t gamble with you; I won’t wager the life of any clan member with you."
Since his birth, he has been carrying the responsibility of the entire Xia Clan. He doesn’t know how to put aside the Xia Clan, and he will not put it aside.
He indeed cannot make every clan member understand his actions, but at least, he has done what he should do, and he does not regret it.
"Hahaha~" Xia Ling laughed heartily, "Oh Xia Qingcheng, Xia Qingcheng, you are truly foolish, so foolish! Do you know how annoying you truly are? Oh, that’s right, do you know that Sister Mingzhu has always liked you? She hasn’t married, has she? She’s always been waiting for you, right? It’s a pity that she’s waiting for someone she can never wait for. Oh, maybe you do know, but you wouldn’t be moved, because in your heart there’s only the Xia Clan, no love for women. You wouldn’t even have any emotions. You’re just a dull piece of wood. Look, you saved me, only to end up harming so many people, yet you still say you don’t regret it? But I’m the one regretting for you. I don’t even love you, but you still sacrificed so much for someone you don’t love, is it worth it?"
Xia Qingcheng’s face remained without any emotional fluctuation, but he firmly responded with two words to Xia Ji: "It is."
What she considered not worth it was from her perspective, but from his own position, everything he did was worth it.
