Chapter 783: Xi Jin Is Coming to a Realization
Xi Jin remained silent. He remembered that the voice that he heard was very real.
“Big brother, let me ask you, what will you do if Dai’er died a horrible death?” Xi Lin said.
Xi Jin blinked and said in a hoarse voice, “I will avenge her.”
“If that’s the case, you must get yourself together because Dai’er did die a horrible death. Think about it. Who would benefit the most from Dai’er death?” Xi Lin stopped after saying that. Her brother’s heart had been lost ever since Dai’er’s death, which was why he lost his ability to think rationally. If he still couldn’t figure it out, it would be his problem.She felt disgusted when she thought about how Shen Yunya still had the time to stop Tianlan from saving his big brother when he was poisoned due to jealousy. Xi Lin was wondering how Tianlan was doing since she had fainted from saving Xi Jin.
“Oh, right. You were saved by the Demon King. If you ever think of committing suicide again, Dongshu Nation might be implicated. As a son, a man, and a Crown Prince, you must be responsible. You shouldn’t behave like a lady who is always attempting suicide. You will be looked down upon. No wonder Dai’er never liked you. You can’t even avenge her,” Xi Lin said.
After saying that, Xi Lin decided not to speak anymore. She wanted to visit Tianlan and update her on Xi Jin’s condition in case Tianlan was worried.
After Xi Lin left, Xi Jin stared at the curtains above his bed. After a while, he shut his eyes as he seemed tired. It took him a while before he slowly opened his eyes again. His empty gaze suddenly disappeared. His eyes were no longer filled with gentleness, but coldness instead.
He licked his cracked lips and sat up on his bed. He looked towards the medicine that was beside his bed, then drank it all in one go. Some of it spilled out of his mouth and trickled down his chest.
“Dai’er, if you didn’t die from illness, I must avenge you. I won’t let you die in vain and not be able to rest in peace.” Xi Jin’s voice was hoarse and cold. He had shut himself up for three years. It was time for him to clear his head.
Dai’er was the eldest daughter of the Shen Family. Even if she didn’t have the ability to practice, she would still take the family over after she became an adult. She would then become the lord of Xuantian Alliance. With his support, Dai’er would become the lord without a doubt.However, since Dai’er was dead, the Shen Family fell into the hands of Shen Bokang, while the Xuantian Alliance fell into the hands of Jiang Ying. Besides, Ya’er was supposed to get married to him today…
If Dai’er wasn’t dead, none of these things would have happened. They were the ones who would benefit the most from Dai’er’s death. Therefore, he couldn’t help but link her death to them. Since he had linked her death to these three, he had to investigate.
Lin’er had always kept a neutral attitude towards Ya’er. However, ever since she met the Demon King for the second time, her attitude changed. She even said Dai’er looked for her in her dreams.
Lin’er wasn’t like this previously, but she managed to change her attitude in just one hour. Had the Demon King said something to her?
Dai’er…
Xi Jin opened his eyes and looked out the window. He suddenly had hope. Could Dai’er still be alive? Did she not reunite with him because she had her own reasons?
Xi Jin kept thinking about what Xi Lin said. He picked up some main points from what she had told him.
‘The corpse buried in the Shen Family’s Ancestral Grave is not Dai’er.’
‘Why do you always mistake someone else for Dai’er?’
Was there a hidden meaning in these two sentences?
Lin’er must have known something, but she couldn’t tell him. How did she know all of this? Was it because Dai’er was back?
Xi Jin seemed like he had figured something out. He got out of bed, put his clothes on, and opened the door to his room.
“Jin’er.” When the emperor and the empress saw him coming out, they anxiously came forward, full of worry.
Xi Jin glanced at them. “I am going to take a walk outside and will be back in a while. I will never commit suicide again,” he told them.
