"You want me to forget?!" Xi Yue's voice suddenly rose. For the first time, she almost collapsed and yelled at Ji Mingyu, "We once knew each other and promised to each other. We went through so many ups and downs together. We once shared life and death. I regarded you as the person I trusted the most and the only shoulder I could lean on. We once swore an oath to each other, knelt down to heaven and earth, and promised to be together forever and never separate... So much of the past, such deep feelings, those unforgettable vows, you want me to forget them all?!"
"Ji Mingyu, tell me, how can I forget?!"
Ji Mingyu looked at the pain and tears in the girl's eyes, and felt as if his heart was pierced by thorns.
But apart from the heartache, he felt more fear and despair at this moment.
Ji Mingyu reached out and hugged the girl's cold and trembling body, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xi'er, don't cry. If you feel hateful, you can hit me or scold me..."
Xi Yue calmed down, broke free from his arms, and looked at him expressionlessly.
The scorching sun at noon falling on her body should have been hot and warm, but Xiyue felt her body and mind were cold at this moment.
When the agreed time came today, she still didn't dare to come.
It seemed that she always felt that as long as she didn't meet Ji Mingyu and didn't ask him for confirmation, she could deceive herself and believe that the information sent by Ouyang Haoxuan was false.
Xi Yue has always been decisive and disdains doing anything that deceives herself.
But at this moment, she really hoped that Ji Mingyu could lie to her.
Tell her the cruel fact that there was no experience of clones, and that Nangong Yu approached her for the Origin of Wood.
However, Ji Mingyu's expression and his words gave Xi Yue a heavy blow.
It turns out that everything is true.
Her meeting, acquaintance, and love with Nangong Yu were all just a scam and a calculation from beginning to end.
Xi Yue reached out to wipe away the cold tears on her face and said slowly: "Nangong Yu is your incarnation? The purpose of appearing in Miluo is to find the origin of wood, right?"
The pair of clear and beautiful phoenix eyes were soaked with tears. She stared straight at the man in front of her and asked word by word, "Ji Mingyu, let me ask you, if the one carrying the origin of wood was not me, but Feng Lianying, Lu Zhixi, or even a random insignificant woman, would your clone choose to approach those people?"
"If I don't have the origin of wood, will Nangong Yu fall in love with another woman? The one who will marry him and make a vow of eternal love with him will be someone else, not me?!"
Ji Mingyu's nails dug deeply into his palms. He looked at the girl's cold, even hateful gaze and felt his hands and feet go cold.
He wanted to deny it, and even wanted to give up his self-esteem and deceive Xi Yue, but the voice was stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.
Because he knew the purpose of his clone's reincarnation, and he also knew the imprint that the second priest of the temple had instilled into the depths of his soul.
Although he didn't know what the mark was, he knew that the only purpose of those marks was to find people who carried the origin of wood.
Ji Mingyu never doubted his feelings for Xi Yue. To him, the Origin of Wood and the Ice Prison of Marrow Release were not even as good as a smile from Xi Yue.
As long as Xiyue can be happy, as long as Xiyue can stay by his side, he would do it even if it means sacrificing his life.
However, he could not remember what happened when he was Nangong Yu. (To be continued)
