Chapter 814: Secrets, Lies And Mistakes
Xi Ying stopped the dagger just a needle distance away from Zhao Zhang Wei's chest. His cold eyes looked at Zhao Zhang Wei's face closely.
Then he looked at the ministers present inside the room.
Everything had stopped.
His eyes flickered and he was not surprised when an old man suddenly appeared in the room.
It was the same old man.
Unlike how he had looked so gentle and friendly in his dream when he had come to know about his past life months ago, he looked angry.
"Xi Ying, what are you doing? You can't do this."
Xi Ying didn't even blink as he heard his words. He merely smiled rather coldly and said
"You appeared rather early than I had expected. I had thought that I would have to kill a few for the great God of Destiny to appear."
The old man in white clothes frowned at the way Xi Ying called him 'God of Destiny'.
It looked as if he was mocking him. He felt more angry and was about to show Xi Ying his place when he heard the latter say authoritatively.
"Give Rui her life back."
The old man was for a moment stunned on hearing Xi Ying's order and then said angrily.
"What are you saying? I can't do anything about it. I have already completed your wish once. I gave you another life where you had your time with her. If she got infected and is now dying then it only means that she is not fated with you."
The cold glint that shone in Xi Ying's eyes when he said these words was missed by the old man.
There was no longer a smile on his lips. He stepped forward and looked at the old man in a condescending manner.
"I am not fated with her…then who was it? Was it the person you forgot to bring here and hence chose to bring me here?"
The so-called God of Destiny was shocked when he registered what Xi Ying just said. He looked at Xi Ying with a pale face as he staggered back.
"You…you how do you…?"
"I remember everything."
Xi Ying said scaring the old man more who was already scared and shocked out of his wits. He looked at his sharp dagger with a smile on his lips and continued
"I kept my part of deal but you are backing away now…hmm…thinking that I would not be able to do anything."
His eyes were icy cold and sharp when he raised his head.
"Should I kill him…"
He pointed his dagger at Zhao Zhang Wei and continued coldly.
"Or should I destroy this whole Empire for you to give my wife's life back?"
The old man shook his head unable to say anything. His hands were trembling. It was a few moments later that he finally said
"I can't give Rui her life. It was supposed to be like this. She was destined to die. I had already gone beyond of what I could do."
"Then why did you lie to me? So that you could use me?"
Xi Ying said sharply.
The old man didn't know what he should do when he saw the familiar ruthlessness in Xi Ying's eyes…especially when the latter said
"I will destroy this whole world…the world where you brought me and Rui with your lies. I will destroy it."
"No…"
The old man shouted.
"Xi Ying, I will kill you if you tried to do that."
In response to the old man's words, Xi Ying smiled coldly.
"Are you threatening me? Are you not wise enough to know that you can't do anything to me? I already broke your spell twice and you still think that you can do anything to me."
The old man was again shocked because he realise that Xi Ying knew everything…including what was harmful to him as well.
He was right.
Xi Ying broke his spell twice.
It was he did a spell on Xi Ying to make him hate Li Rui. In Xi Ying's past life as well, he did it. He broke the spell after Xi Ling's death.
And in this life, when he had sent Xi Ying's soul and bound it to Li Rui, he had done it to break his own spell. However, after that when he had tried to put the spell on Xi Ying again, he couldn't do it.
At that time, he had been confused and shocked but didn't ponder much on it as Xi Ying was still doing what he had wanted him to do.
However, he had broken the largest spell now…the spell using which he had made Xi Ying forget everything about another world.
If Xi Ying could breakthrough his spell then it meant at his mind and body was much more powerful than his own.
Hence, he couldn't do anything to Xi Ying …rather Xi Ying could destroy this whole world.
"I am not blaming you for anything despite what you did to me."
The God of destiny came out of his trance when he heard Xi Ying's cold and emotionless voice.
"I am not holding you wrong for how you brought Li Rui and me into this world, for how you put spell on me and made me hate her. I just want you to give my Rui her life. I just want to love her and grow old with her. If you complete my wish then you can save this world of yours."
The God of Destiny lowered his head.
When Xi Ying saw this, he said more coldly
"I know that you have the power to do that."
"I do…but that would make other Gods unhappy. I have already done wrong once by starting it all over again. If I did it again…"
"I don't care."
Xi Ying said emotionlessly interrupting the old man's words.
"It was your mistake all along. It was you who didn't bring right people to this world."
At his words, the old man was furious again and said righteously
"But Rui was fated for this. She had wished herself for all this."
Xi Ying really wanted to kill the manipulating man in front of him. He controlled himself and countered in a sharp voice.
"Did she? You trapped her. You trapped her to accept what you wanted her to accept."
The old man was breathing heavily but he didn't have anything to say in response …because a part of him knew that whatever Xi Ying was saying was right.
"Now, make her alive if you don't want to be destroyed with this world of yours."
The God of Destiny closed his eyes. He exhaled sharply. When he opened them again, he whispered something.
Then he suddenly disappeared.
And Xi Ying immediately moved towards the bed where Li Rui was lying.
