Chapter 1517 - 1515: Who Am I—Does It Matter?
Mo Fan stopped in his tracks.
Actually.
With his skills, he could easily subdue Qiu Xi!
Just one finger would be enough.
However.
He did not do so, because he felt a bit guilty inside, as if he owed Qiu Xi some fairness.
Qiu Xi was kept in the dark by him, letting those women go.
It wasn’t only harming Lan Zhengqing; once Lan Zhengqing found out, he certainly wouldn’t let her off.
He was using Qiu Xi’s life as a gamble.
Moreover.
This woman’s expression was always vacillating between strength and collapse, a feeling that was indescribable. Although she was Lan Zhengqing’s right-hand person and had blood on her hands, he couldn’t bring himself to hate Qiu Xi.
In other words, Qiu Xi was just being used by Lan Zhengqing, and she hasn’t realized it yet.
What’s worse is that she not only hasn’t realized it, but has also fallen for Lan Zhengqing, willing to work for him and collude with him in those disgraceful deeds.
Lan Zhengqing’s actions are truly disgusting!
Using Qiu Xi’s identity, with a hint of goodwill, to win her heart, making her believe she is truly helping and caring for the refugees, thus wholeheartedly working for him.
This approach is truly disgraceful!
The one who deceived Qiu Xi and the refugees is precisely Lan Zhengqing!
However.
Lin Fan clearly knew this, but Qiu Xi and the refugees probably wouldn’t believe it or think of it in this way.
They only felt that Lan Zhengqing treated them well, so they would be loyal.
Because before, no one in the Five Elements Realm had ever treated them like humans.
It was hard to come by someone like Lan Zhengqing, treating them this way, so naturally, they were grateful, thinking this was the best way.
Little did they know, it was not!
Lan Zhengqing was no different from those people; they were birds of a feather.
The reason he regards the refugee clan is because there is profit to be had, because he needs to use their abilities to work for him, not because he genuinely cares for the refugee clan.
Moreover, the refugees are inherently human and should be treated equally! They shouldn’t rely on others’ charitable treatment; everyone should be treated equally.
Turning what ought to be natural into condescending charity and grace.
And the refugees still haven’t seen through this point; truly pitiful, tragic, and lamentable! It’s because their living environment makes them believe charity equates to equality.
Lin Fan wants to change this kind of phenomenon!
But refugees in the current environment clearly will not listen to Lin Fan, thinking he is there to disrupt and damage the relationship between the refugees and Lan Zhengqing.
Therefore, he cannot speak directly, instead he can only gradually change the refugees’ mindset, allowing them to truly live within the Five Elements Realm.
And not live in a dark cellar, live in shadows, live in extinction!
Lin Fan took a deep breath, turned around, and smiled at Qiu Xi.
Of course, he couldn’t say words to make Qiu Xi realize she was being used by Lan Zhengqing, waking her up would only anger her entirely; she hasn’t thought of it on this level yet, speaking rashly would only make her mind more confused.
"What’s going on? Is there any problem?"
"You, answer my question honestly!" Qiu Xi looked at Lin Fan with a playful smile, evidently still not wanting to address the most critical issues, and the more it was like this, the more suspicious she found Lin Fan.
"No, can you let me go? This makes me feel like I’m a criminal." Lin Fan smiled and shook his shoulder, trying to escape Qiu Xi’s grip.
Yet Qiu Xi’s hand didn’t release.
And then.
The next second!
Qiu Xi directly raised the Immortal Slaying Needle, aiming it at Lin Fan’s throat.
"Be honest!"
"Hey hey hey, take it easy, this thing can actually kill." Lin Fan pouted, shrinking his neck back. "What’s going on, didn’t we just reach a mutual agreement? I suggested letting them go, and you agreed, so why are you turning hostile now?"
"Cut the crap, I’m asking you, why do you keep avoiding my questions?!" Qiu Xi pushed the Immortal Slaying Needle closer to Lin Fan, asking coldly.
"Which question, what exactly am I dodging?" Lin Fan spread his hands, helplessly.
"Who exactly are you?!" Qiu Xi urged again with calmness. "This is already the third time I’ve asked you, but every time you try to dodge. Yes, I’m indeed a refugee, but that doesn’t mean we’re stupid and can be fooled around easily! If you don’t answer, I definitely won’t let you leave."
Qiu Xi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes glittered with a fierce killing intent.
"Speak!"
Lin Fan grinned and laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Is it important who I am?"
"Important."
"But I think it’s not important. Who I am doesn’t have any significance. Just like who you are doesn’t have any significance, any title, any refugee, any Water Clan, these are just meaningless identities; I simply don’t care. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have praised you." Lin Fan said with a smile, his eyes scanning Qiu Xi’s face. "Hey, how can a beautiful face do such things? It’s good-looking no matter what, even anger is good-looking."
"Don’t try to sweet talk your way out of this!"
Unexpectedly, Qiu Xi was not buying into it. It seems speaking too much could lead to immunity, even to Qiu Xi.
"Just because I reached an agreement with you, doesn’t mean we’re allies. Impossible! To me, you’re just a foreign intruder, and an unidentified one at that. Tell me honestly, what are you doing in Blizzard Village!"
"Are you here to deal with Ice Cicada Sect!"
Lin Fan pouted, squinted one eye, and asked suspiciously, "Why would you think that way? How could I be here to deal with your Ice Cicada Sect? If I were to deal with Ice Cicada Sect, wouldn’t I recognize you? I guess you have some status in Ice Cicada Sect, might even be the Commander. But if I were to deal with Ice Cicada Sect, would I not know the situation here? I would’ve acted against you earlier; the fact that I haven’t means I’m not here to trouble Ice Cicada Sect, I simply don’t care about Ice Cicada Sect."
"What arrogance you have!" Qiu Xi’s eye corners twitched strongly, her heart significantly displeased.
This guy’s tone made it seem like he didn’t take Ice Cicada Sect and herself seriously, even implying he could easily kill her, outright arrogance!
As the Commander of Ice Cicada Sect, her hands are stained with at least a thousand people’s blood!
No one has ever dared to belittle her presence so lightly.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant indeed!
And being threatened by the Immortal Slaying Needle, he could still laugh out loud, truly inconceivable.
Qiu Xi grew increasingly curious.
"If you’re not here for Ice Cicada Sect, who are you here for? There are no other people in Blizzard Village."
"Who said that? Fine, to be honest, I’m here looking for someone."
