"Ha, so what..."

Zhao Shujie smiled sadly. No matter how devoted she was, the other person's heart was not with her at all.

"Fine, you can give it to Murong Qin to eat, it's the same."

The masked man was silent for a moment, as if he had made a great decision, and continued, "After you eat it, your Tianming will never have another chance. Then, you can comfort him, and he will be yours."

"this…"

As expected, Zhao Shujie hesitated.

Just as the masked man said, she dared not harm Fen Tianming, but she did not dare harm Murong Qin…

"Well, have you thought it through?"

The masked man wasn't in a hurry; he simply watched quietly as Zhao Shujie made her decision.

Why are you helping me?

After a moment, Zhao Shujie clenched her fist and asked hesitantly.

"Naturally, it's because some of my friends like Murong Qin."

The masked man spoke quite frankly, "Originally, I wanted you to target Fen Tianming, but I didn't expect you to be so reluctant. So, I'll just have to find another target."

"A friend you know?"

Zhao Shujie first scrutinized the masked man for a moment, then suddenly smiled knowingly, "I found it strange earlier. Now it seems that you like Murong Qin and want to use me to get rid of your love rival, right?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the masked man reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, instantly losing all composure.

"Alright, thank you for the pill. I will try it, as long as you don't mind."

Zhao Shujie, who had initially harbored some doubts, felt relieved after seeing the masked man's reaction. Only someone who likes someone would resort to such methods.

"Hmph, you'd better not do anything else besides giving me medicine."

The masked man warned with a look of both heartache and anger, as if Zhao Shujie had guessed correctly.

"kindness."

This made Zhao Shujie even more wary. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently.

His hand gripped the bottle containing the pills tightly.

I'm sorry, love is inherently selfish. She's been with Tianming for so many years. If it weren't for Murong Qin, Tianming would definitely have seen her existence.

In a village on the Imperial Continent.

"Whoosh..."

The sword flashed, the young man was dressed in white, and his moves were as smooth and swift as flowing water.

Before long, countless members of the Blood-Clad Alliance lay dead in pools of blood.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor! Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

As soon as the other party sheathed his sword, the villagers who had escaped death immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"It was just a small favor."

The young man had a face as fair as jade and an air as delicate as an orchid, but there was a contradictory sense of murderous intent between his brows.

"Please tell me your name, my benefactor."

The villagers were stunned by the sight of the ethereal, handsome young man before them, who seemed like a figure from a painting. "To repay our benefactor for saving our lives, we plan to build a shrine in your honor!"

"Jun Yu".

The boy's eyes flickered slightly, he said something indifferently, and then he soared into the air and floated away.

"Jun Yu..."

Upon hearing this name, the women in the village all showed expressions of infatuation. "What a handsome young man, it's just a pity that he's not someone we can hope for."

"Big brother..."

The departing person, with a cold glint in their clear eyes, clutched a small black bottle hanging from their heart, muttering to themselves.

Inside the bottle, a blue light shimmered on its own. Upon closer inspection, it resembled an embryo, as if a human figure was curled up with knees bent.

"Although it was just a lucky accident, the power of faith seems to be able to accelerate the growth of your soul."

As the young man spoke, a resolute look appeared in his eyes, "In that case, I will travel throughout the entire empire and gather enough faith power for you."
