Let me explain, it's not what you think.

"Hey, hey, Brother Lu, don't go! I'm serious!"

Seeing that Lu Chen was about to leave, Li Fei quickly stopped him.

"Listen to the utter nonsense you're spouting! You're telling her to get her way? Your marriage certificate is still valid; she's still your fiancée!"

"What's the difference? Do you think we'll ever get back together? She's humiliated my Li family! Why can't I get revenge?"

"Your revenge is your own responsibility. Why are you sending me? You should know that this woman is the future sect leader of the Li Huo Sect. You're sending me to provoke her!"

"But I have no way to get revenge now... and she's come looking for you again, Brother Lu. You're my only hope now. I want you to ruthlessly beat that woman, beat her until she's covered in bruises, and make her kneel down..."

Li Fei became increasingly delirious as he spoke, his eyes turning red.

"You're hopeless! I can't stand this place anymore, I'm going back to my Xuantian Sect!"

Lu Chen said this without further ado, and turned to leave.

He finally understood that everyone in this world was more abnormal than the last, and if he continued to interact with them, he himself would go insane.

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Chen didn't stop.

"Brother Lu!!!"

A muffled thud came from behind me, like the sound of a knee hitting the ground.

Lu Chen turned around and saw Li Fei kneeling upright in the courtyard.

"What are you doing? Get up right now!"

Li Fei did not move.

"Brother Lu, I know I'm crazy, I know I'm not speaking human language. But I really have no other choice."

He looked up, his eyes red as if they were about to bleed.

"Brother Lu, do you know that feeling? Someone you've loved wholeheartedly for over a decade, and in the end, looks at you like you're an insect!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily.

"Brother Lu, my mind is filled with hatred right now, I can't control myself. If you don't help me, I'll be consumed by my inner demons. What's the point of talking about the three-year agreement then? I haven't even broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Get up first!"

Li Fei did not move.

"I told you to get up!" Lu Chen walked over and lifted him up from the ground.

"Listen, you're just acting emotionally right now. Soon you'll calm down, and then you'll realize how terribly wrong you were! It was an irreparable mistake!"

"Brother Lu, I'm very calm! I just want to see that woman's pitiful state, covered in wounds!"

"Okay! Even if you can convince me, what about her? You don't really think she's interested in me just because she met me once, do you?"

"Their goal is simply to sow discord among us, not to deliver food to us!"

Li Fei paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Don't worry about that, I'll talk to her. I refuse to believe I can't get my revenge!"

After saying that, he sent a message to Tantai Qingxue.

Although she usually ignores him, this message he sent will definitely pique Tantai Qingxue's interest.

As expected, not long after receiving the news, Tantai Qingxue reappeared at the Li family's residence, giving Lu Chen a strange look.

Afterwards, he and Li Fei went into a room, neither of them inviting Lu Chen.

Lu Chen stood in the courtyard, looking at the tightly closed door, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He didn't know what Li Fei had said to Tantai Qingxue, but his intuition told him it couldn't be anything good.

He wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he felt that Tantai Qingxue couldn't possibly be interested in him, so he didn't leave.

The door opened quickly.

Li Fei came out first, his face showing a relieved calm.

He glanced at Lu Chen, his eyes filled with something indescribable, like guilt or expectation.

Then Tantai Qingxue came out.

She lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly, not daring to look at Lu Chen, her fingers clutching her sleeves, shy and hesitant.

That's not right.

This is so damn wrong.

When she stood in front of him yesterday, she still had a cold, aloof, and condescending demeanor.

Now she stood there, blushing, head down, like a young girl who had just been set up on a blind date by her elders.

"You guys..." Lu Chen opened his mouth.

Li Fei didn't give him a chance to speak.

He walked over and patted Lu Chen's shoulder with great force, as if he were about to place some responsibility on his shoulders.

"Brother Lu, I've made things clear to her. From now on, she has nothing to do with me. Who she wants to see is her own business."

Lu Chen's mind went blank.

Tantai Qingxue's ears turned even redder. She bit her lip, took long strides, and walked step by step to Lu Chen's side, where she stood.

She didn't speak, she just stood there, her chest almost touching his arm.

Her fragrance wafted over, not the cold scent from yesterday, but a sweet one.

Lu Chen took a step to the side.

Tantai Qingxue also took a step.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Lu Chen distancing himself from her, Tantai Qingxue didn't say anything, but simply lowered her head even further.

He's so handsome!

He's really different from everyone else; he has absolutely no interest in me! But the more he acts like this, the more interested I become in him!

No one can resist my charm!

Li Fei walked to the courtyard gate, pushed it open, and turned to look at the two of them.

"Brother Lu, hurry up. I'm waiting for you."

"Wait for what? What exactly did you say to her? I only said 'if,' not 'true'! I will absolutely not agree to this!"

Li Fei didn't answer, but looked at Tantai Qingxue, nodded, and then turned and walked out.

Only two people remained in the courtyard.

Lu Chen turned around, intending to walk from the other side, when Tantai Qingxue reached out and gently grasped his wrist.

Her fingertips were burning hot, but she wasn't applying much pressure.

"Let go."

Tantai Qingxue did not release it.

"I heard him say, 'You think I'm here to sow discord among you? Why would you think that?'"

"You can't actually be interested in me, can you? We only met yesterday, do you think I'd believe that?"

"I know this is presumptuous, but I really do have feelings for you! I didn't mean to drive a wedge between you two! And... he also asked me... to take good care of you!"

Lu Chen felt like he was going crazy.

"This is between the two of you, what does it have to do with me? From now on, I'm not interfering in your affairs anymore, I'm going home!"

Lu Chen forcefully shook his hand away, and Tantai Qingxue's hand was flung away, but the next second, it came back up, this time gripping it even tighter.

Furthermore, the pressure of her Golden Core realm slowly emerged, suppressing Lu Chen so that he could not use his spiritual power.

"Li Fei said he owes you too much, he can never repay it. If I have any conscience left, I'll use the apology I felt for humiliating him yesterday to..."

"Although... my identity is still..."

"But don't you think this is even better..."
