I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 617 "You Can't Marry Him!"

There was expectation and unwillingness in Shanyuan's eyes. He felt guilty when he asked this question, and he was also nervous about getting the answer in his heart.

Two tears even squeezed out of the corners of his eyes at the right time.

For a tough guy like him, there is a unique flexibility.

Li Ling'er's body trembled slightly, her head slightly frowned with a hint of anger, and there was panic in her eyes.

He glanced at Shan Yuan's face, then stood up, his chest rising and falling as if he could not suppress it, and asked in a low voice,

"What does this mean, second brother?"

Having said that, Li Ling'er seemed unwilling to stay in this room any longer, and walked towards the door.

"Ling'er!"

Shan Yuan called her at this time, and the emotions in his eyes gradually subsided.

"I can see you like him."

Li Linger paused, but did not turn back. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Her tone was somewhat impatient.

"This has nothing to do with Second Brother!"

Shanyuan stood up and slowly walked behind Li Linger, but when they were one meter apart, he frowned slightly and took half a step back.

The tone was gentle and tinged with sadness.

"I can ensure that he is safe, but Ling'er has to promise me one thing."

Hearing this, Li Linger turned around eagerly and tried to grab Shanyuan's sleeve.

"Second brother really has a way. I heard from my aunt that the Hidden Blade Technique is only a fragment. I have also read that technique and it is true. Second brother has the complete technique!"

"Since you have the complete technique, why did you only leave behind fragments?"

Shan Yuan dodged Li Ling'er's hand calmly, then took two steps back, as if feeling awkward, and sat back on the tea couch, saying,

"Those two bamboo slips were given to me by my master before he left the mountain. I don't know the specific reason."

Shanyuan glanced at the seat next to him and motioned Li Linger to sit down and talk.

Li Ling'er did not hesitate, sat back down, and said anxiously,

"Second brother really has a solution!"

Shan Yuan looked at Li Ling'er's anxious look, feeling a little complicated, and then nodded and said,

"Before I came to the capital this time, my master gave me the complete Hidden Blade Technique..."

"really!"

Hearing this, Li Linger's eyes suddenly lit up, and she reached out to grab Shan Yuan, her voice sweet and soft with a hint of coquettishness,

"Second brother, you are so kind. Come on, bring it here for me to see."

Li Ling'er originally wanted to use her killer move of "嘤嘤嘤", as Li Mu was most susceptible to this move.

But he never expected that Shanyuan picked up the teacup on the table, slightly turned sideways and dodged again.

Li Linger's expression froze and her big eyes narrowed.

Shan Yuan pretended to protect the secret book on his chest and said,

"You don't have to grab it. Master asked me to bring it to him."

As he spoke, he took out a bamboo slip from his bosom and placed it between the two of them.

Li Ling'er reached out to take it, but stopped halfway.

No matter whether this thing is real or fake, you can't take it away by robbing.

Thinking of what Shan Yuan had said before, he asked,

"What does Second Brother want me to promise?"

"You can't marry him!" Shan Yuan pushed the bamboo slips in front of Li Ling'er with a complicated expression.

Li Ling'er looked at the bamboo slips that were so close to her, then looked at Shanyuan, and was about to reach out to take them but stopped.

Seeing this, Shanyuan reached out to take the bamboo slips back.

Li Linger was anxious and quickly snatched the bamboo slips, raised her eyes and said angrily,

"What on earth do you mean? When did I ever say I wanted to marry him?"

Shanyuan sighed and repeated to Li Linger what Liangdu had said to Li Mu before.

Li Ling'er's eyes were red, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. She threw the bamboo slips at Shan Yuan and scolded him,

"This is your business, what does it have to do with him? Why should he help you? What a bullshit 'key'!"

Shan Yuan let the bamboo slips hit his face, raised his head and looked out the window, and said in a light tone,

"These are not our choices. The human race is already weak. Right now we can only break a corner of the barrier and revive our cultivation. If the barrier is broken by aliens, we humans will just become lambs to be slaughtered..."

"Don't tell me this, I don't understand!"

Li Linger stood up, glanced at the bamboo slips on the ground, clenched her fists, turned around and was about to leave.

"Ling'er!"

Shanyuan called her again, stretched out his hand and pulled her collar downwards, revealing black wounds like vines covering her chest.

"Ling'er, do you believe in my second brother?"

Shanyuan asked the question again, then raised his finger slightly and threw the bamboo slips on the ground to Li Linger.

Li Linger turned around and caught it, her eyes just falling on the hideous wound on Shanyuan's chest.

"Second brother, you..."

"My second brother doesn't have much time left." Shan Yuan smiled calmly, loosened his hand that was holding the collar, and said with some self-mockery,

"Second brother knows your answer."

"You are my second brother's only relative in this world besides my father. Please trust me for once."

Shanyuan had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were full of love for his sister.

Li Linger knew that the answer Shan Yuan gave was his question about who she would choose if only one of Li Mu and him could survive.

"Second brother promises you that nothing will happen to him."

As he spoke, Shan Yuan waved his sleeves and handed the spear that Li Ling'er had placed at the door to her, and said with a smile,

"If my second brother fails to do so, you will use this spear to kill him."

"But before that, you can no longer have any disputes with him. I can't explain it to you. After this is over, I will no longer interfere in your affairs. You two can make the decision on your own."

Li Ling'er didn't say anything. She clenched the bamboo slips in her hand tightly, turned around and left the house.

Shanyuan stood there, the night wind outside the window blowing on his face, and the red marks on his skin caused by the bamboo slips were particularly obvious under the candlelight.

At this time, Shan Yang appeared in the room, looked at the table that was smashed by Li Ling'er, and sighed slightly.

"Junior brother, think carefully. If you start practicing again, maybe your problem..."

"Brother, there is no need to say more. I am a person who deserves to die. I can use my life to exchange for his life... Ling'er is happy, I am satisfied."

Shanyuan smiled, his tone full of loneliness.

Shan Yang did not persuade him any further, but looked at Shan Yuan with some curiosity, and asked in confusion,

"Why do you want to mention the issue of the princess's marriage? Is there any other mystery behind it?"

Shan Yuan shook his head, his expression was a little strange.

"Ling'er is my sister after all, and he...is obviously not a good match."

Hearing this, Shan Yang's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, you are the only one who cares about your sister, but my daughter is still in the house of that promiscuous boy.

Shan Yang felt less doubtful.

After all, Shanyuan's explanation really touched his heart.

Outside the house, Li Ling'er came out of the house but did not leave immediately.

Hiding in the corridor, listening to the conversation between the two people in the room.

She was a little confused.

It was Xu Youzhi who told her that Shanyuan wanted to see her.

She agreed, but Xu Youzhi stared at her again and told her not to believe anything Shan Yuan said.

However, for some reason, every time Li Linger saw Shanyuan's eyes that were like the abyss, she couldn't help but want to believe it.

She was determined before coming here, but now she was a little overwhelmed.
