I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan felt relieved.

He gently patted her back.

"It's fine."

"It's fine."

He said softly.

"It's good that you're back."

Shen Youyao cried like a child in his arms.

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But the turmoil in my heart did not subside in the slightest.

To be honest, he still can't believe it.

But we have to admit that we are facing all of this.

This is definitely not Shen Youyao.

He could talk about mental stress before.

But no matter how much mental pressure you're under, you can't become a different person, right?

That's the second personality.

This refers to Shen Youwei, as mentioned in the original book.

Second Personality.

However, that appeared later.

What time is it now?

Could it be because of me?

The butterfly effect?

What caused the second personality to appear prematurely?

He considered one possibility.

After leaving, he arranged for Shen Youyao to come to Jinghai ahead of time.

Huaxin hasn't arrived yet.

The girl had no relatives or friends, and was left with no one to rely on.

That loneliness, that helplessness, that fear.

It may have stimulated the awakening of the second personality.

Impressed.

They shouldn't have interfered.

but……

As a normal person.

He really couldn't accept that kind of thing happening.

Moreover, knowing this.

His personality wouldn't allow it.

According to the original book's setting, at least in the early stages.

The second personality has the idea of ​​completely possessing Shen Youyao's body.

That means...

Shen Youyao's current situation is very dangerous.

very dangerous.

Gu Yan looked down at the girl in her arms.

She was still crying, her shoulders trembling.

It was as pitiful as an abandoned kitten.

Gu Yan was about to say something.

A cold voice rang out.

"Who exactly is she?"

Pei Yuran gripped the black short sword, its tip pointing at Shen Youyao.

In those icy blue eyes, a pain she herself couldn't comprehend surged.

The surrounding chill was growing stronger.

The ground froze, and tiny ice crystals floated in the air.

A cold wind even started to blow.

It was howling, and the cold was biting.

Gu Yan was startled.

Then I remembered that Pei Yuran was also there.

We must not forget this person.

He took a deep breath and looked down at Shen Youyao in his arms.

Speak in a low voice.

"Youyao, remember what you promised me."

He said earnestly.

"Be good."

"Stay calm and don't overthink things."

Shen Youyao raised her head and looked at Pei Yuran.

There was a hint of fear in those eyes, hidden behind black-rimmed glasses.

She nodded.

Then he spoke in a low voice.

"This woman is fierce."

She paused, looked at Gu Yan, her eyes full of worry.

"Brother Gu Yan, be careful."

The sound was very soft and quiet.

But the concern within it is genuine.

She was simply concerned about Gu Yan out of instinct.

It means nothing else.

Gu Yan felt a warmth in her heart.

He patted her shoulder and then let go of her.

He turned and walked towards Pei Yuran.

The cold air was biting.

With every step I took, I felt like my bones were about to freeze.

But he didn't stop.

He walked up to Pei Yuran, forcing himself to endure the chill.

Reach out.

He hugged her.

very tight.

Very hard.

Pei Yuran stiffened.

The chill instantly subsided somewhat.

Gu Yan spoke up.

"Yu Ran".

His voice was gentle.

"This is my friend."

"It means nothing else."

Pei Yuran fell silent.

A few seconds passed.

Her voice rang out, still icy cold.

"How come I didn't know you had such a good friend?"

She paused.

"Clearly..."

I got stuck on what I was going to say next.

She couldn't say it.

But on that aloof and stunningly beautiful face, the expression was even more pained.

What is it?

It should only be me, right?

You're clearly my brother?

You can only hug me?

she does not know.

All she knew was that she was feeling very sad.

It hurts.

It felt like something was tearing apart.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yan felt bad.

He felt like his mind was exploding.

The emotions of both girls were impacting him.

But he took a deep breath and continued to comfort her.

"Yu Ran, listen to me."

He gently patted her back.

"She really is my friend."

We met in Shanghai.

"She came to Jinghai alone, with no one to rely on."

"As a friend, it's perfectly normal for me to help out, right?"

Pei Yuran didn't say anything.

Gu Yan continued.

"You are my sister, my dearest person."

"That will never change."

He paused.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"How about this, Yu Ran?"

"I'll promise you something, okay?"

The last sentence.

Pei Yuran regained some of her senses.

She looked up at Gu Yan.

In those icy blue eyes, the pain was still there, but a hint of expectation had also appeared.

She spoke in a low voice without thinking.

"Anything is fine?"

Gu Yan nodded.

"certainly."

"Anything is fine."

He smiled.

"Yu Ran, I remember there's a three-Michelin-starred restaurant nearby."

"You and the bodyguard go there and wait for me."

"I'll be right there, okay?"

He said earnestly.

"You are my sister."

"You should listen to your brother."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

Looked for a long time.

Then she nodded.

"it is good."

She sheathed the black dagger at her waist.

He turned around and prepared to leave.

But before leaving.

She turned and glanced at Shen Youyao.

That glance was cold.

It's very complicated.

For the first time, an emotion arose in her heart.

Hate.

I don't like someone.

In the past, when I read books or watched short dramas, I would always say who I disliked.

She didn't know what it felt like to hate.

But now she knows.

She really hates this girl.

Especially when she was so close to Gu Yan.

That unpleasant feeling made her want to draw her sword.

But she held back.

Gu Yan told her to go to the restaurant first.

She turned around and left with her bodyguards.

Gu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when Pei Yuran left.

He felt pain in his pupils.

That kind of pain is a reaction to excessive emotional shock.

He rubbed his eyes and walked over to Shen Youyao.

Shen Youyao stood there, head down.

The sunlight shone on her, outlining her soft curves.

The face hidden behind the black-rimmed glasses was filled with remorse.

The lenses of my glasses were fogged up.

Tears still clung to her eyelashes.

Her lips were pursed, as if she wanted to say something but dared not.

She looked like a kitten who had done something wrong.

Pitiful, yet adorable.

Gu Yan's heart sank.

What exactly happened to Shen Youyao?

Has the second personality really appeared ahead of schedule?

If I don't stop it...

It seems that Shen Youyao's mental strength is insufficient to win in the current situation.

In the end, he can only be devoured by the second personality, right?

Looking at the timid girl in front of him, he felt a mix of emotions.

Just then.

All the teachers came over.

Zhou Mingyuan, who was in the lead, walked at the front, his face filled with amazement.

He looked at Gu Yan and spoke.

"Master Gu, you're amazing!"

He gave a thumbs up.

"In that situation just now, with S-level opponents locked in a standoff, none of us dared to step forward."

"Master Gu settled it with just a few words."

He paused.

"The Zhenguo Superpower Academy owes Master Gu a favor."

"If it weren't for Master Gu, many students in this area would either be dead or injured."

Gu Yan waved her hand.

"Director Zhou, you're too kind."

He smiled.

"There's not much of a sentiment involved."

"They are all my sisters, I'm sorry to have troubled you all."

These words were spoken.

The teachers' expressions instantly turned strange.

younger sister?

Isn't Master Gu's surname Gu?

One of them was the Pei family's top sword immortal, and the other was a superhuman of unknown origin.

Where could it be the younger sister?

It seems...

It can only be my younger sister.
