When everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Shangli, that moment of panic allowed her to think more calmly.

Countless assassinations have given her brain a terrifying ability to adjust—

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but in fact, only a few seconds passed.

Immediately, she chose what she thought was the correct response—

"How pitiful."

The corners of her mouth were raised, and she glanced at Lian Tianning with pity.

“…”

Lian Tianning bit her lip——

"Hasn't anyone told you that you are very pitiful?" Chu Shangli put away the magic in his hand -

This action was enough to make everyone around gasp—

You can stop freely in the middle of using the spell, and the sword furnace is surrounded by light blue flames.

She half-knelt quietly and pressed her fingers on Lian Tianning's forehead.

There were still tears in Lian Tianning's eyes.

"The lower eyelid is blue, it must be due to lack of sleep—"

She turned Lian Tianning's hand over and laughed helplessly: "The calluses on your hands are also very thick, probably the marks left by practicing sword drawing -"

“…”

“Ah, ah——” Chu Shangli shook his head: “You are really pitiful, you guy. You must be working harder than anyone else, but you still can’t get any results——You can only barely reach the average level——”

Chu Shangli's hands grabbed Lian Tianning's neck——

Lian Qianying wanted to stop him, but after thinking for a moment, she finally did not move.

Chu Moyin looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his face——

There was a chill flowing from Chu Shangli's palm, and there was chill in her eyes—

This murderous intent was even more obvious than when he was fighting Lian Kongyu just now—

When Lian Tianning's mind went blank, he felt more joy than anything else.

The joy of finally being able to die.

The smile on his face, facing the girl's face filled with murderous intent, was truly a terrifying sight.

"You are a fool." Chu Shangli said softly.

"Well, I'm an idiot."

"No matter how much I practice swordsmanship, it's just a waste of time—"

"Yes, the harder you work, the more you discover your limits. I have to swing my sword a thousand times to catch up to Senior Brother Shuiyin's ten swings, but Senior Brother Shuiyin only needs a hundred swings, and it makes me feel like everything in front of me is gray... But I always think that as long as I work harder, I can always find a way to surpass them."

"Unfortunately, you found no loopholes. In fact, when you have the determination to exploit a loophole, you have already lost completely. Don't you realize it yourself?"

"I found it."

Lian Tianning couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

"So, a loser like you has no value in living in this world, right?"

"Hey!" Lian Kongyu shouted angrily, "I admit you're very capable, but that's a bit too much!"

"Kong Yu!" Gong Yi Shui Qing waved his hands: "Don't worry about it—"

"How can we just ignore it? If this continues, Senior Brother Tianning will be strangled to death!"

"Even if he was strangled to death, that's just his fate. What's the big deal?" Gong Yi Shuiqing looked disillusioned at this moment.

“…”

Lian Kongyu looked at the people around him, and it seemed that no one was going to move——

Are these guys crazy? No matter what, they can't just stand by and watch a murder happen right in front of them, right?

Although Lian Tianning was indeed at fault this time, wouldn't it be even more terrifying to just stand by and watch?
