Chapter 343: Open the Door to Your Heart
Looking at the red-faced Lian Hua, the smile on Victor’s face grew wider. He patted Lian Hua on the shoulder and slowly stood up, he continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I just want you to cheer up. We’re going to infiltrate the Fire Sect. It’s not an easy thing to do. If we’re not careful, we might lose our lives.”
Victor did not know how to make Lian Hua change. He could only comfort her.
“If you really can’t, you can stay in the Small World. It’s a little boring, but you don’t have to force yourself. I’ll also check in on you and have a chat with you.”
At this point, Victor had no other choices. Victor was determined to go into the Fire Sect. No matter what the reason was, he would not stop.
“How long do you plan to stay in the Fire Sect?”
“I don’t know, but it will definitely be a long time. At the very least, three to five months.”
Since Victor wanted to steal the Rose Sword, he had to advance from an outer disciple to an inner disciple. This period of time would not be too long, but it would not be short either.
After all, it was too rare to advance from an outer disciple to an inner disciple in three to five months. Victor did not want to expose himself.
“Three to five months? That’s too long. I’ll be bored to death.”
After spending time together, Lian Hua had a general understanding of Victor’s temperament. Once he became serious about something, no matter what happened, he would not waver. Therefore, after a long thought, Lian Hua made up her mind, she wanted to enter the inner sect together with Victor.
“That’s good too. This way, you can have more people talking to you.”
Lian Hua was too isolated. When she was in the Chunhua Brothel, she basically did not have any friends to talk to. After leaving with Victor, she was also very cold to the others. Only when she was facing Victor… would she occasionally smile.
Lian Hua did not seem to care about this, but Victor understood that the two of them were at most in a cooperative relationship. Lian Hua would provide the reward, and Victor would accomplish his duty.
Therefore, Victor was more like a mercenary. He could not and should not develop feelings for Lian Hua.
It was the same for the latter.
Therefore, part of the reason why he went to the Fire Sect was because Victor hoped that Lian Hua would open up and accept others.
He knew that this was very difficult for Lian Hua.
Because of her innate divine ability, she could easily understand what other people were thinking. The men who fawned on her on the surface were just covetous of her body. Those prost.i.tutes who called her a sister ridiculed her for thinking highly of herself. All this time, Lian Hua had not only endured loneliness, but also others’ dishonest words. This was the reason why she was in this state.
Victor was someone who disdained lying. He would say whatever he wanted to say. It was because of this that Lian Hua was willing to follow Victor out of that cage-like place.
“Victor, actually, I sometimes wish that I didn’t have this innate ability. I can be like other girls, smiling at a flattering man and thanking others for their flattery.
“But…”
“I understand that feeling, but this shouldn’t be a reason for you to shut yourself up.”
Victor turned around and looked at Lian Hua, whose eyes were slightly red, he sighed softly, “You feel disgusted by other people’s insincerity, but similarly, in order to deal with other people’s good intentions, aren’t you also lying? It’s just that they don’t have your innate ability.
“To put it bluntly, everyone is the same type of person. They pursue beautiful things, but they forget about their dirty selves.
“Since you have the ability to see through people’s hearts, you should know that I’m not a good person. In fact, many times, my actions can consider me as a b*stard.
“But so what? You’re still willing to leave with me and not other people. This proves that you’re willing to trust others, but you can’t stand the hypocrisy of others.
“But when it comes to hypocrisy, who isn’t?”
“I…”
When Lian Hua heard this, she lowered her head. She did not dare to look Victor in the eye. The light in his eyes pierced her heart.
Yes, she had always despised others, but at the same time, she was also like the others, saying things that she did not mean and forcing a smile.
Lian Hua suddenly realized that she was not as proud as she had imagined.
Other than being good-looking and having a decent talent, what else was there for Lian Hua to be proud of?
There was probably nothing else.
She suddenly came to a realization. Not only was Lian Hua not angry, but she revealed a heartfelt smile. Her brows and eyes curved into a beautiful angle. She looked at Victor seriously and said, “Am I really as bad as you say I am?”
“Not only that. You tease me from time to time. In fact, your purpose is just to test me. But when I get serious, you won’t do it. Your character is too bad.”
Victor shook his head and looked at Lian Hua resentfully. The latter stuck out her tongue.
“You see, we don’t have anything to be proud of. Be it cultivators or ordinary people, or those who are forced to work in brothels to make a living. We are all the same. No one is superior to others. No one is an exception.”
“Well…”
Lian Hua nodded, her face slightly red. She raised her peach-shaped eyes, which were full of love, and looked at Victor.
“Stop! I just finished nagging about you, and you haven’t changed a bit. If you do it again, I will be angry!”
Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Victor quickly got up and left, leaving Lian Hua alone in the room.
Looking at Victor’s back as he left, Lian Hua covered her face and snickered.
However, her smile was a little forced.
“This time, I didn’t plan to lie…”
Lian Hua suddenly realized that the more she got along with Victor, the more dependent she became on him. This feeling was different from the people in Chunhua Brothel who addressed others as young ladies and young masters.
It was a true love that had nothing to do with s.e.xual desire.
Of course, Lian Hua could not rule out the possibility that she was coveting Victor’s body.
At the same time, outside the door, Victor went downstairs, asked the waiter for a few pieces of letter paper, and sat down.
It had been several months since he left the Green Dragon Sect. Victor suddenly missed the days he spent there. Although it was dull, it was free and unfettered. Those days were not filled with so many schemes and battles.
However, now…
The first thing Victor did every day when he opened his eyes was to think about his following situation. Such a lifestyle made him very tired.
He picked up the pen and thought for a long time. When the ink dripped down and spread on the rice paper, he still did not move.
He had no choice. He had experienced too much along the way. Victor did not know where to begin.
