Ms. Doctor Divine

She exuded an air of unmistakable pride.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but cast a glance at him – it was evident that Shao Simiao shared a special relationship with him.

Shao Simiao went on to introduce several individuals who held the second, third, and fourth rankings within the Beastmaster Sect.

Finally…

Di Hongyun’s tone turned serious as he remarked, “The fifth position is held by

Senior Brother Zhengyang. He has recently achieved a breakthrough to the Paragon Warrior Realm. To gain access to the mystic realm, one must surpass him at the very least. However, Senior Brother Zhengyang possesses formidable strength as well. I hope the three of us can collaborate for this endeavor, but I am uncertain…”

Di Hongyun found himself torn.

His desire was to join his junior sister on this journey.

Yet, Senior Brother Zhengyang also required entry to the mystic realm.

Considering the importance of the Lv Family…

Di Hongyun found himself in a challenging predicament.

Without giving an immediate response, Gu Chaoyan stayed silent in response to Di Hongyun’s query.

Di Hongyun’s emotions were running high.

This emotional connection likely formed the foundation of his initial attachment to her.

Within the confines of the level-five mystic realm, countless elements existed, and numerous top disciples sustained their positions through the resources found within the 500 meters.

Moreover, the allocation of these resources…

Was determined through a rigorous examination process.

Naturally, the most competent individual emerged as the victor.

There was no need to let emotions cloud this fact.

Di Hongyun consistently found himself in a disadvantaged position, whether within the sect or his own family.

Their thoughts were clearly divergent.

Lv Zhengyang arrived, a genial smile adorning his face.

As Lv Zhengyang approached, Gu Chaoyan and Di Hongyun unconsciously furrowed their brows. A sense of discomfort settled in, stemming from Lv Zhengyang’s status as a Paragon Warrior, which cast a shadow over them.

However, he swiftly eased his imposing demeanor.

Unable to resist, Gu Chaoyan scrutinized Lv Zhengyang.

It seemed he was showcasing his prowess by emanating pressure. Did he hold some sort of grudge against them?

Di Hongyun, on the other hand, didn’t dwell on it. He surmised that Senior Brother Zhengyang’s recent breakthrough might be causing him to struggle with precisely controlling his pressure and aura.

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhengyang!” Di Hongyun offered his well-wishes.

“Congratulations,” Gu Chaoyan’s response carried a chill.

Gu Chaoyan discerned the underlying dynamics.

She pondered on the nature of Lv Zhengyang’s character.

In bygone times…

During periods when she faced derision and condescension within the sect, he displayed an uncommon kindness, imparting valuable insights and even inviting her to partake in missions.

However, as he recognized his own capabilities, he grew increasingly reserved in his interactions with her.

Individuals like him…

Perhaps benevolence was reserved solely for the vulnerable, those obscured by the dust of insignificance.

She wouldn’t yield as readily as he did, her obedience less assured.

His demeanor exuded kindness and gentleness, coupled with an unwavering resolve against opposition.

Gu Chaoyan offered a subtle shake of her head.

Individuals like Lv Zhengyang didn’t make suitable companions for Di

Hongyun.

At least, not in the present.

If a time came when Di Hongyun surpassed Lv Zhengyang, the resulting disappointment might be profound.

“It’s a level-five mystic realm, and numerous members of the Beastmaster Sect are vying for the opportunity. Junior Sister, having recently joined the sect, it might be wise to observe the sect’s ongoing competition and consider participating in the event next year,” Lv Zhengyang spoke with a composed demeanor.

“I intend to partake in this year’s competition,” Gu Chaoyan asserted.

Lv Zhengyang cast a measured look her way.

His tone remained even as he replied, “I don’t believe that’s a good idea.”

‘Why?”
