Everyone present was stunned. Even he couldn't help but wonder if he could escape unscathed if he really faced her.

Even her father, who always looked down on pretty girls, began to look at her with admiration and even took the initiative to care about her injuries.

Murong Xiao's sudden change, coupled with her current cold attitude towards him, if this woman was not indeed Murong Xiao, he would really suspect that someone was impersonating his Xiao'er.

The woman who had always obeyed him and always regarded him as her heaven, suddenly spoke to him coldly. Murong Qingyun suddenly felt as if a fly was stuck in his trachea.

"What's wrong with you?" Although he was very unhappy, Murong Qingyun tolerated her disrespect because Murong Xiao was seriously injured and continued to ask in a good mood.

"Nothing." Murong smiled and looked away.

On the one hand, it looked like the little girl had a quarrel with her lover, but on the other hand, she had to give herself a little more time to transform her emotions and think quickly about how to successfully sow discord between Murong Qingyun and his father.

Murong Qingyun was obviously dissatisfied with her perfunctory answer. He suddenly stood up, bent down, twisted her shoulders, and forced her to face him, commanding her without room for rebuttal: "Speak!"

Ignoring the pain all over her body, Murong Xiao violently knocked away the hand that was holding her body and angrily said, "I'm happy? Why should I be happy? Is being alive something worth being happy about?"

Seeing Murong Xiao's eyes full of anger, Murong Qingyun's breathing was slightly choked, and then he returned to his gentle and jade-like state.

"Of course it's worth being happy to be alive. At least... you can be my woman, right?"

"Become your woman?" Murong Xiao asked with a sneer, his eyes narrowed.

"Don't you want to be my woman?"

In his gentle gaze, a black vortex gradually formed in the bottom of his eyes. Murong Xiao knew without guessing that if she dared to say "no" at this moment, this man who looked as gentle as jade and harmless but was actually violent, resolute and ruthless would definitely not remember their friendship and strangle her neck to pieces.

Even after she died he would regret it, feel pain, and even go crazy.

But even if she died, she didn't want to tell him that she wanted to be his woman. At least not until she had completely calmed down.

"I do?" Murong Xiao sneered and asked, "What's the point of thinking? We are just chess pieces in your father's hands. Our future is in his hands, not yours. Have you ever seen a father betroth a chess piece to his son?"

Gazing deeply at Murong Qingyun, Murong Xiao's eyes were filled with uncertainty and dismay about the future. But deep down, a voice sneered, "Isn't your father-son bond stronger than gold? From now on, I will one day turn you two against each other!"

"You're not!"

Murong Qingyun also stared at Murong Xiao and said again in great earnestness: "I told you long ago, you are not!"

"I'm not? Why shouldn't I be?"

"Just because you are the woman I, Murong Qingyun, fell in love with, so you are not!" Murong Qingyun's eyes were extremely firm.

Murong Xiao shook his head sadly and said in a very depressing tone: "Qingyun, although I don't know what the Grand Marshal wants to do by training us to be his daughters,
