"There’s nothing between him and me, hehe... One must have self-awareness, sister. You’re beautiful, but you lack self-awareness. Sometimes, scheming won’t necessarily yield rewards," Schi Yan spoke up. At this moment, facing provocation, facing Ke Ying’s playful provocation, she was calm enough as she faced Ke Ying directly, eye to eye.

"Maybe it’s you who wanted something but didn’t get it?" Ke Ying blinked, showing no mercy. She was used to being merciless. At the Imperial Academy, she was now almost like a Little Princess. Especially here? She, Ke Ying, was the sister of Ke Wuxin, and that was enough. Just this identity destined her to be unrestrained, not needing to tolerate, free to say whatever she wanted, that’s all.

Schi Yan couldn’t help but knit her brows. Ke Ying’s words were harsh. Deep down, Schi Yan felt wronged. From beginning to end, it was Xu Wu persistently pursuing her. When did she ever scheme?!

In the distance, Xu Wu remained calm, standing there without saying a word, with a faint smile. Deep down, he felt pain. He wanted so, so much to stand up for the woman he deeply loved and obsessed with, to stand up for Schi Yan. Unfortunately, he dared not.

He dared not oppose Ke Ying, not even a bit.

"Is it me who’s schemed against you, been obsessed with you? Speak!!!" Moments later, Schi Yan suddenly raised her head, glaring at Xu Wu in the distance, rebuking. She suffered immense grievance and slander. Shouldn’t Xu Wu stand up? Didn’t need him to help, just needed to clarify.

She, Schi Yan, cared about her face, cared about her dignity, not to the point of trying persistently to climb the social ladder!

From the very start, it was him, Xu Wu, chasing after her, Schi Yan.

However.

Could Xu Wu say anything? Could he clarify for Schi Yan?

No, he couldn’t.

Being rebuked by Schi Yan, Xu Wu directly turned his head away, pretending not to hear.

In an instant, Schi Yan’s face turned deathly pale. She truly laughed, a sorrowful laugh. Before, even though she wasn’t fond of Xu Wu, didn’t like Xu Wu, she didn’t dislike him. She even admired and appreciated Xu Wu’s talent for martial cultivation and strength. Who would’ve thought...

Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.

"If you’re not scheming, not obsessed, why come to the banquet? And dress so beautifully, took care to dress up, right? Maybe spent the whole afternoon or even a whole day," Ke Ying continued, her smile becoming more and more playful.

"You..." Schi Yan went completely pale, lips bitten, wrath surging, blood at the corners of her lips!!!

She hated herself, hated herself for listening to her father today, preparing to agree to Xu Wu’s pursuit.

Hated her own lack of steadfastness, lack of decision-making.

If she had always followed her heart, she wouldn’t have come today. Even if she came, she wouldn’t have put on makeup or anything.

Before, so many times, she was cold, simple-faced, or would refuse Xu Wu’s invitations.

Today, truly...

Suffocating, wronged, indescribable.

In Schi Yan’s beautiful eyes, tears welled up.

She really wanted to cry aloud.

Schi Yan was so angry her whole body trembled.

However, she still retained a sliver of rationality. She lifted her head, staring intently at Ke Ying, shouting, "I have no interest in your husband! Never did, don’t now, and never will!!!"

Schi Yan almost shouted those words.

The fresh blood at the corners of her lips turned even more crimson.

Around them, many young talents felt a pang of sympathy. Everyone present knew Schi Yan suffered immense injustice. Everyone knew that Xu Wu had been infatuated with Schi Yan all those years, and it was Schi Yan who rejected him time and again.

Now, being slandered like this, one could imagine Schi Yan’s anger and despair.

The key was Xu Wu, acting as if he didn’t hear a word, silently, leaving everyone puzzled.

"Oh, really?" Ke Ying blinked, even more playful. She slightly turned her head, looking at Yu Yui beside Schi Yan, "You’re a good friend of Schi Yan’s sister, right? You should know her affairs well? So, tell us, does Schi Yan have any designs on my husband?"

Ke Ying’s voice was light and pleasant.

But to Yu Yui’s ears, it was a terrifying grip on her heart.

Especially, Ke Ying’s eyes, behind the playfulness, concealed a venomous intensity.

Yu Yui was terrified, her legs trembling.

She feared, knowing if she dared... dared not to say what Ke Ying wanted her to, the consequences would be horrifically tragic!

Not to mention, Ke Ying was Xu Wu’s woman. Just this identity meant Ke Ying could bury Yu Yui and even the entire Yu Family in disgrace if she wished.

For a moment, Yu Yui shivered, then spoke up, "She... she’s always had a thing for Mr. Xu Wu."

As soon as she spoke, it was as if all strength was drained from her, swaying on the brink of collapsing.

She was lying upright with her eyes open, slandering her best friend.

Schi Yan couldn’t believe it as she lifted her head, looking at Yu Yui!

Her heart bled fiercely!

Her best friend stabbed her ruthlessly.

Leaving her in unbearable pain.

"I’m leaving!!!" Unable to bear it anymore, Schi Yan’s voice was filled with sobs, and with a furious shout, she was about to turn and leave.

"Did I allow you to leave?!" However, before Schi Yan could turn around, Ke Ying suddenly shouted harshly.

Accompanied by a crisp crack.

On Schi Yan’s forehead, her fair forehead, there was a splash of blood red.

Ke Ying had taken a cup from the table in front of her and smashed it against Schi Yan’s forehead as she harshly shouted. The wine glass shattered into pieces, and Schi Yan’s forehead was covered in blood, leaving a scar.

Schi Yan’s beautiful eyes reddened, barely able to hold back, the kind of grievance, fury, and the mad desire to kill—kill the woman in front of her! Roaring within her heart!

"Not taking action yet? There is indeed some patience." Ke Ying thought inwardly, just waiting for Schi Yan to make a move. Once Schi Yan takes action, Xu Wu will undoubtedly join in. Having Xu Wu personally kill Schi Yan would be more satisfying than her doing it herself, wouldn’t it?

Schi Yan was nearly losing control.

The hall grew increasingly silent.

The atmosphere was completely solidified.

None of the martial cultivators present dared to breathe, holding their breath tightly, with eyes fixed and unmoving.

But at this moment.

An untimely voice emerged.

"Let it end here. I will protect her."

Su Chen.

It was Su Chen who spoke.

Su Chen remained seated there, holding his wine glass.

He spoke calmly.

The reason he intervened was simple: at noon, Schi Yan helped Di Qiong once. Regardless of whether the help mattered or not, she did extend a hand once.

Su Chen didn’t like owing favors.

Tonight, he repaid it.

That’s all.

However.

The moment he spoke.

Suddenly.

The crowd became petrified!!!

All the promising young individuals present felt as if their ears were being torn apart. What had they heard?

That ant in the Great Dao Realm, who would have been kicked out and crushed had it not been for Di Qiong’s influence, actually spoke up? He dared to meddle in matters? The key point is, he’s meddling in Xu Wu’s woman’s affairs!

Is there meteorite iron in his brain?

Even Xu Wu was stunned, feeling as if he was in a hallucination; Su Chen reshaped his understanding of an ant.

Yu Yui instinctively raised her head to look at Su Chen, equally stupefied to the extreme.

The coward opened his mouth?

Su Chen glanced at Yu Yui as well, with a clear message in his eyes: At noon, you spoke up, standing at the moral high ground. Now, why do you act scared like a grandson? You even put a knife in your best friend’s back?

At noon, Yu Yui berated Su Chen for not stepping out to support Di Qiong, calling him trash, not a man, pathetic and ridiculous. Tonight, not only did she not step out to help her best friend Schi Yan, but instead interfered treacherously.

Slapping her own face, and thoroughly so.

Yu Yui understood the message in Su Chen’s eyes, and instantly, her face flushed with red, filled with rage and shame, making her want to explode on the spot.

But after a breath, Yu Yui calmed down, and her gaze towards Su Chen was left with nothing but cold sarcasm and a hint of death. Indeed, she slapped her own face, becoming a joke and disgusting everyone.

Yet ultimately, she was alive!

And Su Chen?

He’s undoubtedly doomed.

Stepping out for Schi Yan, championing justice. Heh... invincible courage! An invincible resolve to seek death!

Daring to interfere in Xu Wu’s woman’s affairs, she admired that. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Sure, she waited to see how miserably this trash, this waste in the Great Dao Realm would die according to Ke Ying’s overtly ruthless, domineering nature. Perhaps, even death would become a luxury for Su Chen?

What was there to reckon with a dead man? In a flash, her gaze clashed with Su Chen’s, shifting to a playful, ruthless, cold, expectant, and pitying glance.

Yet.

After another breath.

Just as Yu Yui, Xu Wu, and all present awaited Ke Ying’s outrage to crush Su Chen, the ant in the Great Dao Realm, an unimaginable scene unfolded.

"I will give you this face."

Ke Ying actually spoke like this.

Some attentive individuals even noticed a subtle hint of panic flash across Ke Ying’s face.

With these words from Ke Ying, the hall roared with a chilling dead silence.

Several young talents, overwhelmed with emotions, leaked mysterious Qi.

Especially Yu Yui, her mouth wide open, her face turning blue-purple, nearly fainting to the ground, gasping heavily as if severely lacking oxygen.

"What the hell is happening?!" In the distance, Xu Wu’s expression turned utterly grim, on the verge of losing control of his killing intent towards Su Chen.

Xu Wu knew his wife’s character all too well, someone fiercely domineering, ruthless, bloodthirsty, the kind that wouldn’t give anyone face? She wouldn’t even give him, Xu Wu, face; didn’t he see she couldn’t be stopped even when she wanted to kill Schi Yan?

Now, a tiny ant in the Great Dao Realm, so weak that no words could describe the garbage, could actually make his wife change her decision? Make his wife swallow her pride in front of so many people?

Xu Wu was truly going insane, on the brink of losing his sanity.
