A smart and rational woman like Su Qingge, once she chooses to follow Gu Changge, would undoubtedly sever all ties with Ye Chen. This is beyond doubt.
As a woman herself, Yan Ji could guess Su Qingge's intentions. If it were her, she would do the same.
But that was also the reason why Yan Ji couldn't help but sigh. Why did Xiao Chen have to develop such deep animosity toward Gu Changge?
"Qingge, what you're saying is a lie, right? This can't possibly be true," Ye Chen said in the grand hall, his head buried in his hands in pain.
He couldn't believe that the usually cold and aloof Su Qingge would actually say such things.
"What I've said is the truth. If you don't believe me, so be it. But from now on, don't come after me anymore. If Gu Changge sees you here, I'm afraid I'll have to explain myself again," Su Qingge said flatly, her beautiful, pale face unwavering as she coldly dismissed him.
She had said all she needed to. If Ye Chen remained stubborn, she would have no choice but to act.
"It must be Gu Changge who has used some kind of sorcery on you. He's from the legendary Upper Realm; he definitely knows such tricks..." Ye Chen suddenly seemed to realize something and shouted loudly.
His eyes glowed red as he glared at Su Qingge, looking like a wild beast.
"You've fallen into madness! Xiao Chen, calm down!" Yan Ji urged from within the ring, sending a surge of spiritual energy to cool Ye Chen's rage.
"I don't believe it..." Ye Chen screamed in pain, unable to understand how the goddess he had admired for so long could have turned into someone like this.
Su Qingge's expression grew colder. She unsheathed her sword and began to prepare for action.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
Just then, there came a knock on the door, followed by a light chuckle.
"Is the Saintess Qingge here?" Gu Changge stood outside the door, dressed in a dark robe, his tall figure exuding an air of elegance. His face bore a strange smile.
This was the perfect moment for him to make his appearance.
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically, his face filled with murderous intent and hatred as he turned to the door.
"Xiao Chen, leave now!" Yan Ji warned, her expression changing as she hurried him.
Although Gu Changge had said he would not make things difficult for her, they were both fugitives who had escaped from the dungeon, and their actions could hardly be justified.
Su Qingge froze for a moment upon hearing the knock. A question surfaced in her mind. Why would Gu Changge come looking for her at this time?
No, wait, with Gu Changge's strength, he should have arrived long ago—he was simply waiting for the right moment to reveal himself.
Perhaps, this was his test for her.
With that thought, Su Qingge's decision was clear.
Swish...
A burst of immense spiritual power surged forth, and the cold, sharp swordlight shot through the air like a startled swan, leaving a trail of blood.
"Ah!" Ye Chen let out a scream, caught off guard by the sudden strike. The sword pierced his chest. If not for his battle instincts kicking in at the last moment, he would have had his heart pierced through.
"This is bad..."
"This little girl is a bit ruthless," Yan Ji mused, shocked at Su Qingge's merciless strike.
Thankfully, her soul had been somewhat restored, and she immediately used her spiritual power to envelop Ye Chen and break through the window, escaping into the night.
"What's going on?" Gu Changge asked in apparent confusion and surprise as he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr.Gu..." Su Qingge turned to look at him, her expression calm. "Qingge has disappointed you."
She could tell that his expression was feigned. He had been watching from the shadows all along.
A chill ran down her spine. If she had made even the slightest mistake, she would have fallen into an abyss from which there was no return. She had no idea that Gu Changge had been observing everything.
This man was truly terrifying.
"No, how could you disappoint me?" Gu Changge replied with a smile, clearly enjoying the situation.
"Really?" Su Qingge, still doubtful, glanced at him. She had indeed harbored murderous intent for Ye Chen, but she had not expected him to dodge the blow.
"I'm serious," Gu Changge said, laughing. If Ye Chen were truly that easy to kill, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
"Next time you meet Ye Chen, it'll probably be a life-or-death situation. Do you regret it?" he asked with a smile.
Su Qingge shook her head. "Once I followed you, I knew this day would come."
"Good," Gu Changge said, still smiling.
Now that Su Qingge had completely severed ties with Ye Chen, their relationship was now one of enemies who would never reconcile. There was no need for Gu Changge to be hard on her anymore.
It was all about using both the carrot and the stick to truly make someone submit.
Su Qingge still held great potential, with a fortune far surpassing ordinary people's. Gu Changge naturally wanted her to serve him wholeheartedly, not out of fear, but of genuine loyalty.
"Rest assured, this wasn't a test for you. I've trusted you from the beginning. I just wanted to watch a show," Gu Changge said with a light chuckle, gently pulling her into his embrace.
Su Qingge stood still, her body trembling slightly as she blinked her flawless eyes.
This was the first time she had been so close to a man, especially to Gu Changge, who had always been so cold and intimidating. Hearing him say such tender words made her heart race unexpectedly.
