“What a fool,” the Kang family’s disciple hastily came to Ziluo’s aid.

In their eyes, Ziluo wasn’t at fault; Kang Shi seemed to be feigning humility more than anyone else.

“Who are you calling stupid? You’re the ones stirring up trouble.” Gu Chaoyan, unwilling to suppress her anger, shot back.

Especially now.

He couldn’t afford to be weak.

With his engagement annulled, he looked bad, and his father’s position in the clan was precarious.

If he continued to endure mistreatment, they’d truly have no standing in the clan.

So from now on, regardless of the circumstances, Gu Chaoyan had to stand up for himself.

The Kang family disciples didn’t expect Kang Shi to be so unreasonable.

While everyone in the Anicca Race could be assertive, Kang Shi wasn’t known for such behavior.

One of them made a move against Kang Shi.

No matter the words spoken, physical confrontation seemed more fitting.

Ziluo’s anger cooled as she utilized her spiritual energy against Kang Shi. However, with Gu Chaoyan in control of Kang Shi’s body, he swiftly dodged the attack, and the spiritual energy missed its target.

In the eyes of onlookers, it appeared as a mere mishap, an empty swing of spiritual energy. Kang Shi was deemed lucky.

Yet, luck wasn’t a universal trait.

Therefore, without dwelling on it, they continued their assault.

Gu Chaoyan, no longer intending to hide, acknowledged that they wouldn’t let him off today. Since they were determined to pursue him, there was no need to seek refuge.

It just so happened that his cultivation had already improved, and he needed a way to make it known.

Now seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Gu Chaoyan skillfully evaded the incoming spiritual energy attacks, wasting no time for anyone to linger. Sending out a surge of spiritual energy, she knocked the assailant away, causing him to fall to the ground and cough up blood.

Initially, his evasion might have seemed lucky, but the extent of the damage inflicted on his attacker was no longer attributable to mere luck.

Kang Yan gaped at Kang Shi.

Could it be…

Had his cultivation, dormant for so many years, actually broken through?

That couldn’t be!

Kang Yan persisted in attacking Kang Shi, eager to gauge the extent of his newfound strength.

Confronting Kang Yan, Kang Shi’s sixth-level Martial Sage cultivation proved woefully inadequate.

Gu Chaoyan attempted to avoid Kang Shi, devising a strategy to handle the situation herself. Unexpectedly, Kang Yan found himself unable to harm Kang Shi.

This left Kang Yan feeling uneasy.

He promptly ceased his assault, as if issuing a warning. Persisting in pestering Kang Shi would only expose his powerlessness to the clan, diminishing his standing. It was not something he wanted.

“What’s the matter? Making strides in cultivation now, and bullying your fellow clan members?” Kang Yan inquired after stopping.

“Everyone has eyes. I didn’t initiate the attack. I’m not weaker than anyone else. Throughout, I, Kang Shi, have been the one subjected to bullying. Who else could I possibly bully?” Kang Shi retorted.

“Very well!” Kang Yan held his emotions in check and stated. After a pause, he added, “In the future, keep your distance from Ziluo.”
