Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 162 Strange Frost

"Sigh~~~"

This woman is like a mind reader! Lu Yunshi was astonished. He hadn't expected Shuang to so easily reveal what he was thinking.

"As expected of a genius of the Holy Race, he can see even this kind of thing so clearly, as if he can read minds."

Regardless, I'll praise him first, Lu Yunshi thought to himself, feigning surprise.

Frost, with her eyes closed, shook her head slightly. "It's just a guess. I don't have mind-reading abilities or anything like that, and I'm not a mind reader."

"You really can read minds, can't you?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yunshi's expression froze, and he suddenly felt a little scared.

Think about it carefully, having a woman who knows everything in front of you, doesn't that mean that many of your dirty thoughts are being seen?

For example, like this, or like that?

"Are you thinking about something rude? Do you think I'm weird or something?" Shuang spoke again, cutting off Lu Yunshi's thoughts.

Lu Yunshi cleared the jumbled thoughts from his mind and then spoke.

"Ah...of course not. I was just thinking that Senior Sister seems different from the other members of the Holy Clan, at least different from all the members of the Holy Clan I've met. Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the Holy Clan. Maybe it's just that I haven't met many members of the Holy Clan, so I feel that Senior Sister is different from them."

"Are you referring to the many stereotypes people have about the Holy Race? Such as arrogance, power, xenophobia, conceit, perfection, and so on?"

Seeing that Shuang calmly uttered the following string of words, Lu Yunshi was also somewhat surprised. Just as he was about to deny some of them, he saw Shuang lightly nod her chin.

“If that’s the case, then you’re right. Most... or rather, ninety-nine percent of the Holy Race can be described using these terms.”

"Of course, at least the terms 'perfect' and 'powerful' seem a bit of an exaggeration to describe the young members of the Holy Race today. Compared to their strengths, the new generation of Holy Race members seem to have more flaws. Perhaps this is why the Holy Race is not well-liked?"

When talking about her own family members, Shuang spoke fluently and without showing any displeasure. Instead, she showed a thoughtful expression at the end.

"Uh...is that so?" Lu Yunshi smiled awkwardly, suddenly unsure of what to say next.

Is it acceptable for him to accept such harsh words?

"Are you hesitating?" Shuang suddenly turned to Lu Yun, as if looking directly into his eyes. "Because of my identity, are you hesitant about whether to recount the true story of the Holy Race with me?"

"this..."

Before Lu Yunshi could speak, Shuang spoke first.

"There's no need for that. In fact, I also want to know more people's thoughts and be able to discuss them with them. After leaving the Holy Race, I realized that the Holy Race's world is not that vast. I hope to understand a more real world. Perhaps only in this way can I know a more authentic self and the Holy Race."

"Based on my current knowledge, the shortcomings of the Holy Race are objectively real, so you can rest assured that no matter how many bad things you say about the Holy Race, I will listen carefully and will not get angry."

This is real.

Almost as soon as Shuang finished speaking, Lu Yunshi knew that she wasn't just saying it casually.

"But why me?" Lu Yunshi asked curiously.

"Because you helped me last time, I think you are a thoughtful person. If it were you, you might be able to give me some key hints."

"Of course, more importantly, no one else is willing to discuss things with me. Whether it's people from my own race or the other four races, quite a few people don't like me. As for the others... it's probably because I don't seem friendly enough and I don't have any so-called affinity. So even if they have a certain impulse because of my face, they only dare to hide and look, and dare not take a step forward."

what......

Lu Yunshi raised his teacup and made a tactical tea-drinking gesture. His words did sound somewhat boastful and narcissistic, but he believed that Shuang was not narcissistic.

Perhaps it really is just a simple analysis from an objective perspective, followed by a conclusion, and then a very ordinary account of it.

Suddenly, Lu Yunshi seemed to remember something and quickly asked.

"By the way, you just said I helped you?"

Shuang nodded slightly and replied, "That's right. After listening to what you said, I spent some time observing after I got back. I found that when faced with a desperate situation, people... no, I should say many living beings will unleash power beyond their own limits due to the outburst of their emotions. Although the amount of power exceeded varies, it does exist."

"So emotions do indeed have another side that makes people lose their minds. Unfortunately, no matter how I try, I can't draw out the power that comes out of emotions. Perhaps it's because my emotions aren't strong enough, but it's also possible that the bodies of the Holy Race people inherently have this... let's call it a defect for now."

Shuang hesitated for a moment, but finally added the word "defect" to it.

"Nevertheless, this point has been very helpful to me, so I would like to discuss it with you if possible."

"Of course, based on what I know, I should repay you in some way. If you're willing, I can tell you how to defeat me."

Lu Yunshi pursed his lips. This girl might not be a stereotypical member of the Holy Clan, but she was definitely an anomaly among them.

Wait, isn't this an opportunity? If so...

Lu Yunshi's eyes darted around slightly, and she said with a smile, "There's absolutely no need for repayment. What would you like to discuss, Senior Sister? Please just tell me."

"There are many things I don't understand, and I want to know the reasons behind them. I think we can chat about this, and go wherever the conversation leads."

Lu Yunshi nodded, then finally revealed his true colors. "Since that's the case, then Senior Sister, do you know what friends are? Do you know what friendship is? Do you know what bonds are? Do you know what loneliness is? Do you know that the main reason you're sitting here all alone, thinking, with no one to discuss it with, is precisely because you've never had these things?"

Upon hearing Lu Yunshi's words, Shuang remained silent for a long time. She slowly turned her head and looked at Long Lingling, who had not spoken a word.

"As for friends, I remember this junior sister once came to me and asked if I would like to be friends with her, and I chose to refuse at that time."

Upon hearing this, Long Lingling instantly recalled the scene from that time and immediately became dejected.

"Then why did you refuse?" Lu Yunshi asked directly.
