The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 505 - 502: His True Feelings

The man’s embrace was strong and warm.

Bai You’s heart raced, having long forgotten her purpose for being here.

"Brother Sikong, why do you obstruct me? Could it be that you still have feelings for her?"

Bai You spoke, half in reproach, half in anger.

Counting today at daylight, Xin Lin had already escaped from Sikong Ran’s clutches twice.

Given Sikong Ran’s current strength and status, Bai You couldn’t help but suspect that he might still harbor lingering feelings for Xin Lin.

"The past is the past, and I owe her for that, but today’s events have completely destroyed any feelings that remained between us."

Sikong Ran sighed deeply.

Five Meridians ruined, without the Dark Spirit Root, how could Xin Lin find her place at Qingtian Academy.

The four-year agreement was destined to be an empty promise.

If Xin Lin had any sense, she should have stayed content and let go of him, returning to Qian Village to live a simple life.

Yet she was never satisfied and became a Summoning Master.

The egg contained an incredibly powerful Fire Spirit.

A Fire Spirit that ordinary people simply couldn’t control.

Xin Lin hadn’t discovered this yet, but one day, she would face the consequences of her actions.

"Then why stop me? That woman, she knows about your past, using it to threaten and slander you. If I kill her, all debts will be paid."

Bai You looked at Sikong Ran with eyes full of admiration.

Her Brother Sikong, destined to stand above all others.

Xin Lin, nothing more than an ant, not even worth considering as trash.

Her existence was a stain upon Brother Sikong.

"If you kill her now, it will only damage the reputation of Xuantian Sect and cast a shadow on your future prospects. For her sake, it’s not worth it. Leave her matters to me; you go back first."

Sikong Ran consoled Bai You.

Bai You hesitated but eventually relented and left Shaking Light Hill.

Sikong Ran, however, did not leave immediately.

The questions Bai You had asked earlier fell on Sikong Ran’s ears, causing ripples in his heart that had not stirred for a long time.

Why had he spared Xin Lin?

Bai You said he had spared Xin Lin twice.

But in truth, it was more than just twice.

Long before he was taken in by Xuantian Sect, when Xin Lin was still not sold into servitude, he had the opportunity to kill her.

But he refrained.

The same happened in Luoyin Ghost Cave.

He knew that in four years, Xin Lin could not catch up to him.

Yet he still agreed.

It was the same before the Kongtong Mirror; he had the chance to use the power of the Xuanwu Ring to end her life, but still, he spared her.

Tonight, Bai You came to assassinate Xin Lin.

He could have turned a blind eye, but still, he...

He didn’t want Bai You to kill Xin Lin, was it truly because it would damage Xuantian Sect’s reputation?

Not at all, he simply didn’t want to let others handle his possessions, whether it was Xuantian Sect or Bai You, he did not want them to deal with what belonged to him.

Indeed, to Sikong Ran, Xin Lin was his possession.

Something he had played with since childhood, and now, grown tired of, he had cast aside.

But even if he had discarded her, she was still his toy.

He could do with her as he pleased, but if others thought to handle her, he would never allow it.

Even if that person was Bai You, no exceptions.

"Tsk, such a long-faced couple of dogs," whispered a pair of cunning eyes observing from the shadows.

After sending Bai You away, Sikong Ran walked back toward the small cabin.

He gazed at it with profound meaning.

He took a step forward, then suddenly, he turned his head back.
