Chapter 141: Pale Moon

Lin Xuzhe glanced at Qin Rou and didn't rush to speak. Instead, he hugged her. Due to the Lin family's establishment ceremony, Lin Xuzhe had been busy at Lin Family Mountain all day. They had been separated for quite some time. At this moment, being embraced by Lin Xuzhe, Qin Rou immediately went limp and leaned against him.

Looking at the bed that was within reach, Lin Xuzhe didn't approach it. Having a child was a good thing, but it wasn't necessarily a good thing when the child grew up.

To prevent any disturbances, they had moved to a different place several years ago.

An hour later, the ground was as if it had been drenched by rain.

Taking a breath, Qin Rou looked at a broken floor tile on the ground and said, "Zezhang, this floor tile should be replaced."

Lin Xuzhe looked at the broken tile and nodded. Then, they returned to the bed to rest. After they settled down, Qin Rou remembered Lin Xuzhe's sigh from earlier and asked, "Zezhang, why did you sigh just now?"

The oil lamp in the room had long been extinguished. Lin Xuzhe looked at Qin Rou in the moonlight from outside, his hand touching her face. He said with a sorrowful expression, "Rou'er, this may be the last time we see each other."

"What?" Caught off guard while still immersed in happiness, Qin Rou didn't react for a moment.

"Zezhang, don't you want me anymore?" After a moment, Qin Rou immediately thought that Lin Xuzhe didn't want her anymore, and her heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

Lin Xuzhe touched Qin Rou's cheek and shook his head in pain. "Rou'er, how could I not want you? Being able to have you treat me like this is my great fortune in this life. I will never leave you in this life or the next. It's just..."

Hearing that he didn't want to leave her, a smile appeared on Qin Rou's face. But seeing the pained expression on Lin Xuzhe's face, she anxiously asked, "Zezhang, what's wrong?"

Lin Xuzhe looked up at the space above the bed and slowly said, "In a few days, our Lin family will have a conflict with the Wuji Sect. It will be a fight to the death. As a member of the Lin family, I can't shirk my responsibility. After tomorrow, it will be difficult for us to meet again."

"A conflict with the Wuji Sect? How did our Lin family end up in a conflict with the Wuji Sect?" Qin Rou asked, puzzled.

Lin Xuzhe continued to look up, his words filled with hatred. "The Wuji Sect is simply inhuman. By the way, after our Lin family's establishment ceremony, didn't you receive an investigation mission?"

"Yes," Qin Rou said at this moment, "I didn't go to your Lin family because of the child, but there didn't seem to be any problems after I handed in the mission."

Lin Xuzhe turned his head to look at Qin Rou. "Rou'er, do you think everyone in this world is as good as you? The Wuji Sect also sent people to investigate, and the person they sent actually took a liking to our Lin Family Mountain. They not only brought a Foundation Building stage cultivator, but also a Purple Mansion cultivator from the Wuji Sect. They want to seize our Lin Family Mountain. After all these years of hard work by our Lin family, how could we be willing? In a few days, when they come again, our Lin family will kill them and fight the Wuji Sect to the death."

"What?!" Qin Rou was shocked to hear this. Upon hearing Lin Xuzhe's words, she was at a loss for what to do.

"Zezhang, does that mean you will also fight the Wuji Sect to the death?" Qin Rou asked at this moment.

"That's right!" Lin Xuzhe said firmly, "As a member of the Lin family, even if the Wuji Sect is powerful, our Lin family will not back down. Whether it's me or anyone else, we will fight the Wuji Sect to the death."

"But the Wuji Sect is currently the most powerful sect in our Zhao Kingdom," Qin Rou said again.

Lin Xuzhe's gaze became gentle, and then he looked at Qin Rou. "Rou'er, the past is always nostalgic but always too short. When I first saw you, it was so beautiful, but I would rather not have met you back then. If we hadn't met, we wouldn't be separated like we are now. Thinking about the pain and longing you will endure in the future, I really want to go back to the past and prevent us from meeting."

Not finished yet, Qin Rou was already crying like rain.

"Ze Lang!"

"Rou Er!"

Lin Xuzhe tightly embraced Qin Rou.

"The fate in this world is unpredictable. We have just started a happy life together, but now we have to part ways, and this parting is probably the final farewell. Rou Er, this time I'm afraid the odds are against us. Wuji Sect is too powerful. I estimate that even my corpse may be burned after I die. Rou Er, you don't need to look for me anymore. In the future, when the weather is clear, when our child grows up, facing the mountains of our Lin family, you can raise a glass of wine for me." Lin Xuzhe said sadly.

"Ze Lang, you're not allowed to say that." Qin Rou covered Lin Xuzhe's mouth.

At this moment, Lin Xuzhe felt a sense of desolation in his heart. "Life's path is fleeting. I lost my arm in my early years, which was already an ill omen. Now it seems that I have lived too long."

But Qin Rou's gaze became firm, and she said to Lin Xuzhe, "Xu Ze, I will never watch you go to your death. If Wuji Sect dares to do this, I will accompany you. We can be a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks."

"Hey," Lin Xuzhe sighed again, "Rou Er, you are now at the mid-stage of Foundation Building. Your strength is not weak in other places, but facing Wuji Sect, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. I won't let you do this."

"No, Ze Lang, we are husband and wife. In the face of this danger, we should face it together." Qin Rou shook her head.

Lin Xuzhe said, shaking his head, "But that's Wuji Sect. Even if you and I join forces, it won't make a difference. They are the largest sect in the Zhao Kingdom, and this time our entire Lin family is in danger. If we die, no one will care. But you are different. If you die, it will break your grandfather's heart, not to mention our child. If we both die, what will they do?"

"Rou Er, promise me, live on, for the sake of our child."

Lin Xuzhe looked at Qin Rou, and Qin Rou kept shaking her head. "No, no, no, Ze Lang, I only want to be with you."

"Hey."

Lin Xuzhe turned his head and looked out the window, where a pale moon was shining.

"My grandfather, my grandfather," suddenly, Qin Rou seemed to remember something, and then said happily, "Ze Lang, my grandfather is now in the Purple Mansion. If he intervenes, Wuji Sect will definitely not dare to act recklessly."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose in Lin Xuzhe's eyes, but quickly dimmed again. "Rou Er, I know you mean well, but your grandfather is from the Qingfeng Sect. How could he get involved in this matter and become enemies with Wuji Sect?"

Qin Rou immediately said, "That's where I come in. I will go and ask my grandfather. He will definitely agree."

"You?" Lin Xuzhe showed a surprised expression. "But won't that expose our relationship?"

Qin Rou looked at Lin Xuzhe and said gently, "Ze Lang, our relationship will be exposed sooner or later. Besides, you and I are in love and now we have a child. It can't be hidden. Even my grandfather won't stop it."

"Besides, even if he tries to stop it, what's the use? The child is already this big." Qin Rou thought to herself.

There will be no recommendations tomorrow, and the book will enter the "naked running" mode. Thank you all for your support since it was published.

Afterwards, three chapters will be updated before 5 o'clock every day. Thank you all.
