"But I don’t want to leave Yanyan."

"Then don’t go."

"But Yanyan said I can leave if I want to."

Hua Wuqing mumbled, feeling very disappointed.

Su Yan

"Huh? What do you want to say?"

Hua Wuqing muttered quietly

"What if one day someone threatens me to leave Yanyan? Would Yanyan also let me go??"

Saying that, he stopped eating the Baozi in his hand.

Put it down.

Sitting there alone, sulking.

His eyes were teary, his lips pursed, looking like he was holding back his grievance, not saying anything.

Su Yan bit her lip, trying hard to hold back her amusement.

She knew it wasn’t right to laugh at him.

But his expression right now really made her want to laugh.

She relaxed after a while

"Are you upset?"

As soon as she spoke, Hua Wuqing’s eyes turned red

"You don’t want me anymore."

As he spoke, he felt old grievances rising within him.

Su Yan said

"I would never not want you.

If you choose to follow someone else willingly, that’s okay too, I will come looking for you.

No matter where you are, I will come."

Hearing this, Hua Wuqing finally calmed down a bit.

Listening to this answer made him feel better inside.

Then he picked up the Baozi and started eating again.

While eating, he said

"I won’t let Yanyan leave.

Even if Yanyan wants to leave on her own, I won’t let you go."

Saying so, from looking bullied just a moment ago, he turned assertive in an instant.

Su Yan nodded while picking up chopsticks, putting chicken into his mouth.

Every time he wanted to open his mouth to speak, Su Yan fed him a piece of chicken.

Which made him obediently close his mouth again, careful to chew thirty times.

As he ate, even Hua Wuqing himself forgot what he wanted to say.

Once he was full.

Su Yan spoke

"I’m competing tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Hua Wuqing puzzled.

Su Yan continued

"Come cheer for me tomorrow."

Hua Wuqing, hearing that Su Yan didn’t want him to stay cooped up in the room.

Became immediately happy

"Okay! Cheer for Yanyan!!"

That night, Su Gu and Feng Zhi returned.

Feng Zhi vividly described the interesting events that happened on the competition stage.

"Hahaha, you wouldn’t believe it, the scene was just too bloody!!"

Saying this, Feng Zhi remembered that Su Yan was also going to participate in the competition the next day.

She hesitated for a moment, then said

"We don’t aim to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, after all, our goal is to investigate the case.

If you feel the disparity in strength is too great, immediately admit defeat and come down quickly."

The so-called reputation that people in Jianghu speak of is nothing to Feng Zhi.

If you die, you’re dead, what good is reputation?

Is that thing more important than life??

Su Yan nodded, said

"Tomorrow, Su Gu and Hua Wuqing, I’ll need you to take care of them."

Feng Zhi nodded

"Of course. You just focus on the competition, I’ll watch over them for you."

While saying this, Feng Zhi hesitated for a moment

"Who do you think the real mastermind behind the poisoning is?"

Su Yan looked at Feng Zhi

"Qin Luoyu said it’s a highly respected figure in the Martial Arts sect."

Feng Zhi sighed

"Which Martial Arts sect isn’t highly respected?"

Each has a reputation so impeccable.

But whether they’re human or demon behind the scenes, who knows??

"Oh, right, tomorrow’s opponent is, Shen Tian."

Talking about Shen Tian, Feng Zhi’s eyes brightened.

Then, she looked up at Su Yan

"Do you know Shen Tian, the one they call the Jianghu Wanderer?"

Su Yan recalled what happened a few days ago.

Nodded

"I’ve met him."

"His Qinggong is exceptional. Be careful."

"It’s okay."
