"That's ruthless!" Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. He wanted to dodge too, but Liu Zhaodi was already at the Profound God Realm, and he couldn't react in time.

Liu Zhaodi held the God-Slaying Spear for a long time, then drew it and turned around in one swift motion, saying, "Go outside for a while, I have something to say to him alone!"

"No, you crazy woman, who knows if you'll try to hurt me again!" Gu Anlei gripped the dagger and looked at Liu Zhaodi warily.

"Xiao Gu, go out. She's at the Profound God Realm. If she wants to make a move, none of us can stop her!" Jiang Yuan pressed his wound calmly.

Gu Anlei's mind was buzzing, and she didn't realize what had happened at all, but since Jiang Yuan had spoken, she saw no need to stay.

"Jiang Yuan, be careful! Shout if anything happens, I'll be right outside the door!" Gu Anlei reminded him as she left.

Jiang Yuan nodded, signaling her to disappear quickly. Gu Anlei then suspiciously pushed open the door and disappeared into the barrier set up by Liu Zhaodi.

"Stop pretending!"

Liu Zhaodi suddenly slapped Jiang Yuan across the face, but Jiang Yuan dodged it as he was prepared.

"Hey, hey, hey, you didn't just stab me, you slapped me in the face!" Jiang Yuan retreated repeatedly. The situation was beyond his control. Who could have known that the little girl he used to protect had become a powerful figure?

"Didn't you say you didn't know me? Didn't you say I was trying to get close to you?"

Liu Zhaodi's eyes were red, and all the grievances she had accumulated over the past five years burst forth at this moment. Her expression was incredibly heartbreaking.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I was just kidding!" Jiang Yuan's feelings for Liu Zhaodi had never wavered. Seeing her cry, all his composure vanished, and he just wanted to hold her and comfort her quietly.

Liu Zhaodi seemed to want to vent all the emotions she had accumulated over the past five years. She didn't say a word, but just cried in Jiang Yuan's arms.

Jiang Yuan never expected their meeting to turn out this way. He thought that Liu Zhaodi would have matured a lot over the past five years. After all, she was the president of a large chamber of commerce and had many honors. She might be much more indifferent when she saw him. But seeing this scene, he realized that Liu Zhaodi was still the same Liu Zhaodi. His anxiety disappeared without a trace.

"Alright, your makeup's all ruined from crying!" Jiang Yuan gently patted Liu Zhaodi's shoulder.

"Does the wound hurt?" Liu Zhaodi asked, tilting her head up. She hadn't held back with that shot; only by activating the gun's spirit could she determine if the other party was Jiang Yuan.

"hiss!"

Jiang Yuan took a breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's still bleeding, tell me if it hurts!"

"Then why won't you admit it? I had no other choice!" Liu Zhaodi said, her face tense and somewhat aggrieved.

"The situation is special. Too many people want my life. If I reveal my identity today, my head might be hanging outside tomorrow morning!" Jiang Yuan shrugged. Too many people wanted to kill him. Not to mention the group behind Ning Yanlan, even the Demon Spirit Clan and the Holy Spirit Clan would not let him go.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive!" Liu Zhaodi apologized, biting her lip.

"It's alright. I was planning to come find you after my enrollment was settled, but I didn't expect you to come to me instead!" Jiang Yuan comforted him.

"Hehe, your woman must be smart and quick-witted!"

Liu Zhaodi revealed a long-lost genuine smile.

"However, you haven't told anyone else about my identity, have you?" Jiang Yuan asked, reminding him.

Liu Zhaodi quickly shook her head and said, "Only my cousin knows, he wouldn't dare to gossip!"

"That's good!"

"Let me treat your wound!" Liu Zhaodi helped him remove his outer garment, then began applying a good medicinal powder, and said, "By the way, what exactly happened back then? What happened to Sister Yanlan and the others later..."

"Don't ask!" Jiang Yuan's tone turned serious, and it took him a while to compose himself before saying, "I'll tell you when the time is right!"

"Yes, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it!" Liu Zhaodi said obediently.

“Zhao Di, you don’t need to come to Hua Sheng Academy to find me. It will attract attention!” Jiang Yuan had his own considerations. He didn’t have the ability to expose himself right now.

"Are you trying to kick me out?!"

Liu Zhaodi looked at Jiang Yuan pitifully.

"It's not that I'm trying to get rid of you, but the situation has been rather turbulent lately. If we have a lot of contact, some people with ulterior motives will become suspicious!" Jiang Yuan said.

Liu Zhaodi shook her head, rejecting Jiang Yuan's opinion, and said instead, "But I think it's great that you're appearing with a new identity now. The two of us can start living a happy life again!"

"call!"

Jiang Yuan released Liu Zhaodi and sighed, "We can start over, but what about those who sacrificed themselves in Nancheng? What about Xiao Pang and the others? And Yan Lan? They don't have a chance to start over. They can only rely on me!"

“I know my thinking is a bit selfish! But those people didn’t die because of you. They died for the entire Imperial Star, for the entire human race. So I hope you don’t carry too much psychological pressure. You are also a person, an ordinary person, and you should have your own life,” Liu Zhaodi advised.

"No, when I shoulder the responsibility for the millions of souls lost in the southern city, I am no longer just a person!"
