peng-peng:
Reading the novel now and have some questions. In chapter 23 why did XL got angry when XY said she would have saved him if she had been around when he was a slave.? What did he mean when is ask if she was worthy? Thanks you in advance for helping me understand.
Did She ever asked XL not to kill her CX? I remember her asking Fox boy not to but did she even ask XL? (I am reader it at night before going to bed so I must have missed it maybe) If not why the hell not? I am trying to understand her better?
He is angry (and also pretends to be angry) for several reasons:
- He resents XY for trying to rewrite his story when it's impossible;
– He is angry at XY for almost breaking the barriers they put on themselves (if he hadn't had self control, he would have touched her, and things could never have been the same again );
- He doesn't like people criticizing his adoptive father;
- He wants to repel XY and therefore has to scare her;
- He probably knew TSJ was here so needed to let him be the savior.
When he said "are you worthy", it was a way of trying to put her down, to put some distance between them and act like he wasn't moved by what she just said.
She never asked XL not to kill CX. On the other hand, she asked him never to ask her to help him kill CX and she tried to understand why he wanted to kill CX even if they didn't have grudge.
XY understands that XL is loyal to Chenrong. She is sad about it but she understands. Therefore, she cannot ask him to deny his side to spare her cousin. She can just protect her cousin if she's ever around when XL tries to kill him.
