Ms. Doctor Divine

Despite making the exchange, Ziluo harbored dissatisfaction.

Initially, Kang Shi had been reluctant to accept her offerings, but now he was willing just because this woman liked them? It didn’t sit well with Ziluo.

She discreetly pocketed the pill, silently declaring her decision not to leave.

Observing the woman seated there, Ziluo then turned her attention to Kang Shi, wearing a serious expression. “Kang Shi, step out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you privately.”

Gu Chaoyan, puzzled by the sudden request, glanced at Little Junior Sister, who smiled and nodded.

Still confused, Gu Chaoyan followed Ziluo outside.

Impatiently, she inquired, “What is it? Just say it.”

“It was my father’s decision to call off the engagement. Being the daughter of the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race, my father has his considerations about whom I marry. It’s unrealistic to expect him to prioritize your cultivation. I’ve tried to convince him for years, but you haven’t changed much, and I can’t persuade my father any longer. That’s why it ended up like this,” Ziluo explained.

“…”

“That’s not what I truly wanted,” Ziluo continued.

“…”

“Kang Shi, if I didn’t have feelings for you back then, why would I have agreed to the marriage?” Ziluo revealed.

Gu Chaoyan responded bluntly, “Now that you are married to Kang Yan, there’s no point in discussing these matters. Is that what you wanted to talk about privately?” She couldn’t grasp Ziluo’s intentions.

Ziluo nodded solemnly.

“I know you might find it hard to believe, but it’s true. I am genuinely willing. My father coerced me into this marriage. Even though I’m already wed, I still have feelings for you,” Ziluo confessed.

“…..”

“I’ll support you in the Anicca Clan’s competition. Even if I can’t directly assist, I’ll find a way to arrange matters for you outside the clan. You can count on me,” Ziluo pledged, envisioning a scenario where Kang Shi would be solely reliant on himself, refining pills for her benefit. To her, it all seemed possible.

Her words carried sincerity.

Kang Shi regarded her with an incredulous expression.

Did Ziluo think he was a fool?

“Thank you, but no. We are merely fellow disciples. You’re already married, and there’s no connection between us. Please go back and refrain from uttering such things again. Regardless of your feelings, I have no interest in you,” Gu Chaoyan responded coldly, turning away and departing.

Ziluo attempted to hold her back, but Gu Chaoyan dismissed her, not providing an opportunity for further interaction.

“Very well!” Ziluo shouted in frustration, turning back.

There would come a day when she could take control of the situation. She vowed to handle things appropriately when she achieved her breakthrough, ensuring no one had an easy time.

Back inside, Gu Chaoyan seemed to have forgotten about the encounter with Ziluo. “Little Junior Sister, what’s the matter?”

“…”

“I came to check on you. The clan competition is approaching, Senior Brother Kang Shi. Focus more on cultivation and less on studying these pills,” Little Junior Sister advised, to which Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement.

“And as for Miss Ziluo, don’t be misled by her. It could lead to trouble in the future. Senior Brother Kang Shi, do you understand?” Little Junior Sister added.
