After Gan Xirou defeated Xing Yun, she continued to compete in several more rounds. Seeing that Fang Ailing, who was sitting below, showed no signs of coming up, Gan was just about to speak when, unexpectedly, a male cultivator from the same group suddenly stood up. Gan Xirou’s pupils contracted; she had anticipated that Fang Ailing was up to something, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in her heart.
Why was she so certain it was Fang Ailing? Simply because she recognized the man: Lu You, a man who adored Fang Ailing to the point of obsession, willing to live and die for her. He appeared harmless, but in reality, his heart was ruthless and calculating. He was Fang Ailing’s living Zhuge Liang. In her past life, she had suffered no small amount at his hands.
She had tried to win over this brilliant man countless times, even showing him the same decisive and ruthless side that Fang Ailing possessed, but he had never even spared her a proper glance. Was he truly as loyal a dog to Fang Ailing as they said? Stubborn, single-minded, and possessing a temper as foul and rigid as iron! Even so, Lu You was someone Gan Xirou dreaded. It wasn't enough that her attempts to curry favor had failed; she had not expected him to appear by Fang Ailing’s side now.
