"Just friends?" The man deliberately drew out his voice, looking at Ye Xunhuan with a hint of aning.
"Can you cure the poison or save people?" Olivia couldn’t help but speak.
The man completely ignored Olivia and instead said to Ye Xunhuan, "There’s nothing in this world without reason, where others are good to you without cause, nor where they give without reason!"
"However, there are two types of people who can do so!" The man spoke lightly, "One is for profit, with a shared goal, so they mutually sacrifice, but without including their life!"
"The other is for love!" The man whispered, "Love is a magical thing; it can awaken a misguided mind that harms the world. At the sa ti, love can make soone give everything for another, including life!"
"Willingly sacrificing without seeking any return!"
The question of what is love in this world, leading to life and death commitnt, is exactly this.
Perhaps because the man ignored Olivia, or possibly because he spoke Olivia’s innermost thoughts, a trace of anger gradually appeared on Olivia’s face, "You old man, can you save people or not?"
The man still ignored the already angry Olivia and continued speaking to Ye Xunhuan, "If a man had co with you, perhaps it’s friendship, but with a woman, do you think there’s really such pure friendship, where a man and woman would die for each other?"
Ye Xunhuan remained silent; the man’s words were ones he had never thought of before!
Now, with the man’s words, countless images flashed rapidly through Ye Xunhuan’s mind, like a quick montage in a movie.
All these images were related to Olivia.
Because of the man’s words, Ye Xunhuan suddenly realized that no matter what happened, as long as he reached out to Olivia, regardless of what she was doing, it seed this woman would agree without hesitation to help him!
Even though Olivia might verbally refuse, she would still prove with her actions that she had co!
She truly ca to help Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan silent, the man spoke again, "You’re still too young; you always think there are those soulful friendships willing to die for each other, but when you truly look at your heart, you’ll find there’s a complex emotion mixed within!"
"Like you, if she were poisoned, you’d probably follow her here too!" The man said lightly, "Now ask your heart if it’s truly just friendship, without any other reason!"
"You could fool , but not your heart!" The man’s wise eyes seed to see through everything hidden deep within, even if you hide it, the opposite can still pierce through!
At that mont, Ye Xunhuan was at a loss for how to respond, because everything the man said was true.
He didn’t know when it started, but it seed an emotion surpassing friendship arose in his heart for Olivia!
"Old man..."
"Alright, I won’t say more. You’ve co to to cure the poison; I’ll try to help!" The man spoke lightly, "But you need to agree to one request of mine!"
"What request?" Olivia imdiately asked.
The man glanced at Olivia, "Didn’t you co for him?"
"Yes!"
"Then stay with !" The man whispered, "Spend your life in Broken Cliff Residence with , and I will cure his poison!"
"If you refuse, you can leave the way you ca!"
Struggle crossed Olivia’s face, and as she was about to speak, Ye Xunhuan’s voice ca through, "No way!"
The man’s face imdiately filled with a smile, "Why?"
"No reason, just can’t!"
"Then you should leave!" The man spoke lightly.
"Change the condition; help out, I’ll take you away. Surely you’ve been stuck here for a long ti!" Ye Xunhuan hastily said.
The man gently shook his head, "No, this is my only condition. Agree, I’ll save you; don’t agree, as you please!"
"How do you know you can cure my poison!"
"If I can’t, you all leave; if I can, she stays!" The man said with a smile.
"Impossible!"
"Then tell why it’s impossible?" The man’s smile hardened, and his tone gradually intensified!
Ye Xunhuan fell silent.
But after the brief silence, Ye Xunhuan let out a deep breath, "I know what you want to say!"
"What do I want you to say?"
"Say I care about her, I feel more than friendship for her!"
"Are you?"
"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan nodded heavily, "You should truly go be the matchmaker!"
The man’s serious expression imdiately disappeared as he laughed, "Since you admit it, I’ll try to cure the poison!"
"Then..."
"Take out!" The man abruptly said.
Ye Xunhuan’s face imdiately showed joy, "Okay!"
Truthfully, Ye Xunhuan feared the man might stubbornly refuse to change conditions, but he didn’t expect him to agree so quickly!
At the sa ti, Ye Xunhuan also didn’t understand why the man insisted he admit his feelings for Olivia, for what purpose?
Yet now was not the ti for these thoughts, what he needed now was to cure the poison!
The man glanced at Olivia, who was looking at him with eyes filled with anger, as if she wished to grind his bones to dust!
Seeing this, the man lightly laughed, "Don’t look at like that, I’m helping you!"
"Who said vampires can’t be with humans?"
Shock imdiately appeared on Olivia’s face as she stared at the man in disbelief, "How...how do you know?"
Olivia hadn’t shown any hint of her nature to the man, nor made any moves, yet how did he know she was a vampire!
Vampires are akin to humans, though lower-class vampires need blood to live, Olivia’s type of vampire doesn’t need it, she can eat whatever humans eat.
Yet he effortlessly revealed her origins, making Olivia understandably shocked!
The man smiled mysteriously, "If you get together and have kids in the future, I can teach them, but not you!"
Teased by the man once more, sha and anger imdiately surfaced on Olivia’s face, "You..."
