Chapter 134: Trust is believing without evidence
Twelve was on guard and looked at Su Jixue suspiciously: "What bet?"
"I bet that the War King is looking at Yaoguang because of me." Su Jixue raised her chin, and there was arrogance in her eyes when she mentioned the War King, as if she was very confident in the War King's actions.
"..."
Twelve has never won against Zero, but he feels that fate seems to be changing now. He admits that it is difficult for someone else to intervene in the rift between Eleven and Zero, but why does Twelve not believe that the War King went to see Yaoguang for Zero?
"Zero, I think you haven't learned enough." Twelve couldn't help but sneer: "Let's bet!"
"Okay, if I win, you have to help me with bone forging." Su Jixue looked at Twelve confidently. No one knew more about bone forging than him. After all, he had tricked many people into trying it.
So I have rich experience in failure.
"..." Twelve looked at Su Jixue speechlessly. It was the first time he saw her lying weakly on the bed, motionless. She looked delicate and petite, like a fragile young lady.
Moreover, Su Jixue's appearance is different from Ji Xue's. She is delicate and innocent, while Ji Xue's appearance is sharp, especially her fox eyes, which are cold and charming when she looks at him, and she has a powerful aura.
Wouldn't it be better to just take a break and stop fighting?
Be a rich lady with someone to protect her.
They will all protect her.
"What? Are you afraid of losing?" Su Jixue saw that Twelve was silent and spoke again to provoke him.
"How could I lose!" Twelve puffed out his chest.
"Then let's gamble." Su Jixue said nonchalantly, glancing at Twelve: "Or are you afraid of losing?"
"Bet! What if you lose?" Twelve finally made up his mind and asked.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Su Jixue asked compassionately. She could agree to anything. She would not lose anyway.
"If I win, you answer me a question." Twelve looked at Su Jixue with serious eyes, waiting for her answer.
Su Jixue raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect Twelve to just ask a question. It was unlike him. Why didn't he ask for some of the secret techniques he had always wanted? But that didn't stop Su Jixue from nodding happily: "Okay!"
"Then I'll help you see what he is doing now." Since Twelve had agreed to the bet, he was ready to win it. After all, he really wanted to know Su Jixue's answer.
"Go ahead and take a good look at how you lost." Su Jixue knew clearly what the result would be if Twelve went to see it.
Twelve snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
Su Jixue was the only one left in the huge bedroom. Her stomach growled. After not eating for so many days, she finally felt hungry.
She looked at the food box that Gui Mingzhu had placed beside the bed. The fragrance wafted out from the gap in the food box, but she couldn't reach it when she stretched out her hand.
After trying a few times, Su Jixue gave up completely and lay there peacefully without moving.
I’m tired, go back to sleep.
Outside the Zhan Wang's bedroom, Gui Mingzhu hadn't left yet. She sobbed as she looked at Twelve who had just come out, and asked with a choked voice, "Sister is angry, isn't she?"
Twelve was originally anxious to see the War King, but when he saw Gui Mingzhu's helpless and injured appearance, which shone foolishly in the sunlight, his narrow eyes sparkled darkly: "Gui Mingzhu, not everyone can call her sister."
Does she deserve it?!
Twelve also knew who Gui Mingzhu was. She was the real daughter of the Su family. But so what? Until now, Shen still didn't know that Su Mingyue was not her daughter.
Moreover, for someone like Gui Mingzhu, it would definitely take some years and wisdom and vision to cultivate the temperament of a rich lady.
Even if Shen knew the truth, she might not want her.
What's more...
"Mingzhu has realized her mistake." Gui Mingzhu lowered her head, tears falling one by one. She knew that Su Jixue was not ordinary, so she always looked up at the eldest lady.
After all, not everyone can easily take out the War King Order.
How dare she say those words now and still question the eldest lady?
"She doesn't need people like you around her." Twelve spoke very rudely. In fact, he was equally jealous of everyone around Su Jixue, so he wanted to eliminate as many as he could.
"Is what Mingzhu said too much?" Gui Mingzhu didn't understand. She was beaten and scolded growing up, but they still pretended to be doing it for her own good. So she didn't know what it meant to truly do good for someone: "Mingzhu really did it for her sister's good."
She is doing this for Su Jixue's own good!
He even went so far as to hate Yaoguang.
"Sometimes, 'for your own good' is the most disgusting thing in the world." Twelve's lips curled up sarcastically. He looked Gui Mingzhu up and down. "Besides, she has almost no companions around her, so the thing she hates most is probably betrayal."
It is rare, so we cherish it and will never accept betrayal.
Twelve tried his best but couldn't replace Eleven and stay by her side.
So, why can others do it?
"Betrayal?" Gui Mingzhu didn't understand. What did she betray?
"Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily true. Trust isn't based on evidence." Twelve sneered, "Trust is believing without hesitation, even without any evidence. That's what companionship is."
This is what Zero once said to him.
With Twelve's perseverance, they had a chance to get close, but at that time, the people in the training camp would never allow Ling to have another companion.
So it was just a small frame-up and attempt to sow discord, and Twelve was a little shaken.
At that time, Ling stood on the treetop, looking down at Twelve with an arrogant look, not taking him seriously at all: "Twelve, don't mention companions, you don't deserve it!"
Yes, that one hesitation.
He no longer had a chance.
But Twelve didn't believe that Eleven could do it at all, but Eleven took them in without hesitation on that day when the mountain was blocked by heavy snow.
Because they were saved (let go) by Zero.
It was from Eleven that Twelve felt the feeling of being trusted for the first time. At the beginning, Master Huo did not recognize him as his master.
It was only after they got along and confirmed it later that Master Huo finally surrendered.
The Twelve have always been another faction among the survivors. In their hearts, they respect Zero, which is the most powerful symbol.
Why should Gui Mingzhu be worthy of something that the twelve are not worthy of?!
"So, sister believes in Yaoguang?" Gui Mingzhu suddenly realized, "Not only that, she also believes in the War King."
Gui Mingzhu's eyes were red as she thought silently, then bit her lip and said, "Mingzhu understands."
After saying this, she bowed deeply to Twelve and rushed into the bedroom.
Twelve was stunned.
What does she know, and what is she going to do?!
Twelve stopped as he was about to leave and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements in the bedroom.
"Sister, Mingzhu knows where she was wrong. I'm sorry, it was Mingzhu who failed to trust Sister Yaoguang and the prince." Gui Mingzhu stood timidly at the door of Su Jixue's bedroom with tears in her eyes: "Mingzhu will never speak nonsense again!"
"Can Mingzhu come in now?"
