Chapter 7

Su Xian's heart trembled. He never expected that while he was merely cultivating, he would hear such astonishing news.

His sister... actually... actually...

She actually knew the reason for his injury?

Why didn't she say anything?

In fact...

Although Su Xian was severely injured, he was not quite clear on how he was injured. It seemed that as his predecessor's strength gradually increased, his mental power also became stronger, making the memories he saw increasingly blurry, especially in the past two years since entering high school. He only had a vague impression of seeing this person.

Recalling her tone when she asked him if he knew about this, it was indeed very strange... as if she was deliberately hiding something.

Su Xian unconsciously perked up his ears. As his focus intensified, everything around him became blurry, but the voices in the next room became even clearer.

He clearly heard a clear female voice in the next room, filled with confusion and panic, explaining, "I'm sorry... I really didn't expect... Tao Tao, I really didn't mean to harm your brother."

It was her...

Su Xian suddenly understood.

Although he couldn't picture her face, a name instantly came to his mind.

Chao Yang High School's Mid-A Class student—Xie Yun.

Those who could enter Class A were all exceptionally talented in some aspect, and Xie Yun was a prominent figure at Chao Yang High School, one of the two famous flowers.

The other one, of course, was Su Tao...

If Su Tao became the school flower through her own abilities, then Xie Yun relied on her astonishing background, which was completely incomprehensible.

How astonishing was it?

He only knew that...

On her first day of enrollment, she was personally escorted by Chao Yang High School's principal Rao Zhanhua. And Qin Liangyu, the only son of the famous Qin Xiang conglomerate, was so captivated by her at first sight that he made a domineering declaration, saying she belonged to him and no one else could touch her.

Then... nothing happened after that.

It seemed her parents warned or disciplined him... anyway, when he saw Xie Yun, he didn't dare to approach her.

In short, she was a high and mighty figure, proud like a thorny blood rose, evoking a desire to conquer her, yet no one could.

She seemed to be the one Su Xian's predecessor had a crush on.

Although Su Xian's predecessor was so ordinary that many people in the school didn't even know that the Chao Yang flower had a brother...

The reason they had any interaction was because Su Tao and Xie Yun were apparently very close friends.

But now, it seemed they had a falling out.

Su Tao's face was dark, her small hands clenched tightly, clearly agitated. She said coldly, "I should have told you, my brother has always liked you, but I know he doesn't deserve you, and you know it too, so you promised me you would reject him harshly and not give him any hope... But why did you go out on a date with him? And... and after that, he became like that? What did you do to him?"

Su Xian: "………………………………"

My sister, what kind of incompetent image do you have of your brother?

Su Xian suddenly clutched his chest... feeling a deep pain.

In the next room.

Xie Yun's face was pale, trying to reach for Su Tao's hand but was roughly pushed away. The usually haughty and proud girl, like a beautiful rose, now looked sad, revealing her true vulnerability, trembling like a bullied swan.

She said softly, "I... I didn't expect things to get so serious, it's all Su Xian's fault, it's all his... he threatened me, saying if I didn't go out with him, he would... he would... he threatened me, so I thought of teaching him a lesson. When I saw Qin Liangyu, who had always liked me, I pretended to be very close to your brother, just to make Qin Liangyu teach him a harsh lesson. I didn't expect him to be so brutal... I didn't expect things to turn out this way..."

Su Tao: "…………………………………………"

Su Xian: "………………………………………………"

So it was... like this?

This thought simultaneously appeared in both their minds.

So, I was caught in a love triangle? Su Xian thought.

Xie Yun apologized, "I didn't expect things to get so serious, Qin Liangyu was so brutal, and I didn't expect that useless brother to spend all your money, your tuition... After I found out, I came to you immediately... It's my fault, I want to compensate you with ten thousand star coins, I brought the money."

"No need, this is our family's business, it has nothing to do with you."

Su Tao sat back in her chair, sighing softly, "I didn't expect it to be related to you, it really was you... Sorry, I just remembered, I need to review what the teacher taught yesterday about the conversion threshold of fire and water spiritual energy and how it differs from other types... Please leave."

"Tao Tao..."

"This place is not welcome to you, and in the future, don't come to me anymore. Even if he is very ordinary, he is still my brother, and you have harmed him so much that I can no longer face you calmly. So, don't appear in my home anymore, okay? I can't imagine my mother smiling and welcoming the person who harmed my brother... If she knew the truth... Do you understand?!"

"Tao Tao, it was your brother who threatened me first, I... I really couldn't do anything."

"Interesting..."

Su Tao's voice suddenly rose, filled with impatience and anger, "My brother... an ordinary person with no discernible strengths, someone who wouldn't even cause a ripple if thrown into a crowd, he threatened you?! The daughter of the prestigious Xingchen family? What could he possibly threaten you with? Someone as high and mighty as you, could have any secrets he could uncover? Xie Yun, I see you clearly now, you are still lying to me. Sorry, I don't want to talk to you. If you don't leave, can I leave?!"

Xie Yun, anxious, said, "Tao Tao... don't... listen to me, really... it's true, he really found out... I... he confessed to me, threatened me... I... but... I... I don't want to... I don't want to agree, because... because the person I truly love is you!!"

The last sentence, Xie Yun shouted with all her might.

In an instant...

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Su Xian: "…………………………………………"

Ah... did I steal my sister's girlfriend?

He suddenly had this thought... or rather, an unsuccessful attempt to steal her away?!

And Su Tao was at a loss, exclaiming, "You... you... what are you talking about?!"
