Chapter 1433

“Guisu, I… I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

Sima Liuyue’s steps halted immediately as she was about to chase after him.

Not only did she stop, but she even took two steps back.

“I am Sima Liuyue, the eldest daughter of the Sima Family, what…

what are you talking about?”

“Perhaps, I would also prefer if you were just Sima Liuyue.”

Guisu cast a cold glance at her, a look too complex to describe.

“Since you’re the Sima Family’s eldest daughter now, then just live your life well. Don’t use this Demon Art to harm others anymore, or else… you will face retribution sooner or later.”

He turned around, this time, truly intending to leave.

The tall silhouette spoke of solitude, yet there wasn’t a hint of desolation.

It seemed…

as if he was completely liberated.

Perhaps for him, as long as Lu Xuening was alive, he could be at peace.

Past grievances ended here.

He did not blame her for the tricks she played on him last night, but from now on, he never wanted to see this woman again!

Sima Liuyue just watched him walk away, step by step.

She clenched her palm tightly, staring intently at his receding figure.

Just before he walked out of her reach, she suddenly called out softly and hurriedly chased after him.

“Guisu, don’t go!

Since you know it’s me, why do you still want to leave me?”

“I have nothing left, now I only have you, Guisu, please, don’t leave me!”

She finally…

admitted it.

Guisu’s tall figure stiffened there, unable to take another step.

He had searched for her for so long, had given up hope, only to realize she had been alive all along, living just fine.

But her being alive meant that the real Sima Liuyue was already dead.

How Lu Xuening managed to kill Sima Liuyue and took her place, not a single person in the Sima Family suspected a thing.

These things, Guisu no longer wanted to think about, or delve into.

As long as she’s alive, at least his duty was done.

In this moment, there was no joy or excitement, only a sense of relief.

A kind of indescribable relief.

“Guisu! Please, don’t leave me!”

Sima Liuyue chased him, wanting to hug him from behind, but he evaded.

She stood there, stunned, meeting his gaze as he turned back.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

“Guisu, I’m still alive, aren’t you happy? Your lady is still alive, right beside you.”

She wiped away a tear, her mind swirling with countless thoughts.

Yet when she looked at him in the end, her eyes were left with only regret and unease.

“Are you still angry at me? Angry that I ruined your hand back then?”

Afraid he would genuinely blame her, Sima Liuyue immediately explained.

“I held back at that time, I knew Mu Xiaojiu, his arrogance and pride wouldn’t trouble someone who’s been ruined.”

Her large, tear-filled eyes, just like those times in the past when she hurt him and sought his forgiveness.

“You know, I truly held back, I was just putting on an act.

Look, aren’t we fine now?”

“If it weren’t for my performance back then, we both wouldn’t have escaped unscathed.

You might have already been killed by Mu Xiaojiu.

Isn’t that so?”

Guisu stared at her tearful eyes, and suddenly, he just felt utterly exhausted, indescribably tired.

In the past, just seeing her tears, no matter how much she’d wronged him, he would relent.

But now, his heart was truly weary.
