Chapter 1623: Rubik's Cube Beauty (85)

But after what Zhai Chenming had just done, Yi Yingxue could not find any excuse to defend him.

Tang Guo could have taken his life, and she would have had nothing to say, nor any grounds to object.

“Xue’er, do you really like this kind of life? Living here, being watched every second of every day. They can take our lives whenever they want. They treat us like ants. Xue’er, all I want is to leave.”

Yi Yingxue merely lowered her head and cried silently, saying nothing.

Even if they wanted to get out, they should never have tried to kill Big Brother Xie Yun.

If he had not helped her in the beginning, she might never have made it to the end.

Whether it was Tang Guo or Xie Yun, both had been their benefactors. She simply could not accept killing those who had helped them just for the sake of escaping.

How had she never noticed? When had her A-Ming become like this?

“Brother Chenming, you’ve changed. You’re no longer the man who clearly distinguished gratitude from grudges. Just to get out, you tried to hurt Big Brother Xie Yun and even take his life. That’s selfish,” Yin Xiaofei said.

Zhai Chenming’s expression was numb. “Didn’t you hear what she said just now? She admitted it herself—Xie Yun is the Lord of Mirror City, and she’s probably one of his kind. Tell me, why are they hiding among us? Isn’t it because they want to watch us ants struggle with their own eyes?”

Yi Yingxue could no longer hold back. “A-Ming, if they truly regarded us as ants and merely wanted to watch us struggle, they wouldn’t have helped me. Without them, could we really have come this far so smoothly?”

“If Tang Guo hadn’t lent me Rubik’s Cube Coins when we were in urgent need and given me cultivation techniques, would the four of us have our current strength?”

“They were strangers to us to begin with. Even if they had only stood by and watched without helping, so what? They were never obligated to help us.”

“Xue’er, you’re too naive. What they gave us were merely inferior cultivation techniques. They only gave us things they didn’t care about.”

“Whether they were inferior or superior, they were still gifts given out of kindness. A-Ming, I’ll take you out of here. This place really isn’t suitable for you.” As she bandaged his wounds, Yi Yingxue continued, “My illness has already been cured. You brought me here, so I’ll take you out. A-Ming, we owe them. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to repay this debt of gratitude in my lifetime. You wanted to kill Big Brother Xie Yun. Even if Tang Guo had taken your life, no one could have blamed her.”

The gentle gaze Zhai Chenming had been using to look at Yi Yingxue suddenly turned icy. “You think I was wrong too?”

“A-Ming, let’s go back to the room first. No matter what you become, I’ll take care of you.”

When she had been suffering from a terminal illness, A-Ming had never abandoned her. He had searched for ways to cure her and had even brought her into the Rubik’s Cube World to take risks.

That was what she owed him.

Now that he had survived by sheer luck, she would take care of him from now on.

He wanted to leave so badly. She would work hard to earn Rubik’s Cube Coins and do everything she could to draw the key as soon as possible and fulfill his wish.

“Tang Guo, Big Brother Xie Yun, I’m truly sorry.” Yi Yingxue felt that after what Zhai Chenming had done, she no longer had the face to stand before them.

Tang Guo said, “You are you, and he is him. This time, I merely cut off his hands. Next time, he may lose his life. Yingxue, you should understand what kind of terrible consequences would have followed if that stab had pierced Xie Yun’s heart.”
