283 Chapter 283. Li Zhen’s Heartache

Lei Cheng was the only person on the field who could be considered to have had some interaction with Li Zhen. This task fell on his shoulders.

When Bai Fan and Lei Cheng walked away, Li Zhen turned to look at Zhuang Xian’s little face. Seeing the red and swollen wound, Li Zhen’s heart ached. He reached out to touch Zhuang Xian’s left arm and didn’t miss the flash of pain on her face.

Li Zhen heaved a long sigh of pain and whispered to Zhuang Xian, “If I had known that this was your plan, I would have rejected you! Look at what you’ve done! Was it that important to take revenge on them? More important than your health? I used to think you were a brilliant child with a good plan for your future and what you wanted to do! I like your independent and confident personality!”

As Li Zhen spoke, he looked at the vegetation in the distance that was blown by the wind and said in a heavy tone, “But it was only today that I realized that I have never truly understood you! You’re confused, child. Revenge is essential, but you have plenty of skills. Why did you choose this one? Do you think I’m like them, someone, who doesn’t understand your abilities and thoughts? Is a person like An Ye worth risking your life for revenge? You’re overthinking things, child!

Grandpa has told you before that as long as you ask for it, I will help you complete it! Of course, I know what you’re thinking. You don’t want to use anyone to achieve the goal you’ve set in your heart. But how can Grandpa watch you take revenge in this way? Don’t you feel pain, child?”

When Zhuang Xian heard Li Zhen’s first sentence, she knew she could no longer hide her thoughts in front of the old man! Li Zhen was a thousand-year-old Sly Fox. Even if he was too lazy to show his face to others, his ability to see through people could not be ignored. Zhuang Xian was practically invisible in front of him!

As Zhuang Xian’s martial arts master, how could Li Zhen not understand Zhuang Xian’s strength? That female classmate named An Ye was not Zhuang Xian’s match, let alone being able to attack Zhuang Xian and drag her to ‘die’ with her. What An Ye wanted to do and what she could do all depended on Zhuang Xian’s will!

An Ye would do whatever Zhuang Xian wanted her to do! For example, the success of the ‘attack’ was what Zhuang Xian wanted An Ye to show everyone.

She wanted everyone to know how shameless and despicable An Ye was. She wanted everyone to hate and abandon An Ye. She wanted everyone to no longer trust her. She wanted her to have a taste of the pain that she had inflicted on others in her previous life.

Old master Li’s words were indeed correct. The moment An Ye pounced on her, Zhuang Xian had certainly overthought. She didn’t have time to think too much but subconsciously followed the evilest thought in her heart, which was to kill An Ye! Even if the price were to get herself injured, she would not hesitate!

Zhuang Xian had indeed succeeded.

She made everyone believe in the ‘truth’ that she had created, including Li Qin, who had been by her side the entire time and had witnessed the whole process! Li Qin should have been able to know if he hadn’t cared so much about Zhuang Xian’s safety.

As Li Qin listened to his grandfather’s words, he felt his brain couldn’t process them properly. However, a voice in his heart told him that his grandfather was telling the truth and that Zhuang Xian had created all the danger that had just happened. Or, more accurately, it was privately guided and pushed by Zhuang Xian.

Zhuang Xian was lying to everyone, and that included himself.

“Sister Xian, is what is Grandpa saying true? Did you do that for revenge? Did you plan for An Ye to drag you down with her?” Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian in disbelief, his eyes slowly filling with a haze. “So, those were all your designs? You’ve lied to everyone, including me, right?”

Compared to the old man’s sincere and consoling words, Li Qin’s sad question made Zhuang Xian feel even worse!
