Lu Shiqing's body was not completely free of Gu poison, and his physical condition was very poor. The sudden outburst just now had exhausted his last bit of strength.

With Shen Sangruo's help, they quickly subdued him.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Bai Ruoan delivered a solid punch to him, leaving his mouth bruised and bleeding.

Several talismans combined to form a long chain, encircling Lu Shiqing and firmly restraining him.

Bai Ruoan had long witnessed this person's obsession, but she never expected him to act so wildly in a team competition.

She raised an eyebrow at him; this man's feelings for their junior sister were not innocent.

Bai Ruoan also knew why Lu Shiqing was so hostile towards him, so he spoke up:

"So you want to attack me? Too bad, my junior sister won't let you hurt me."

Even the gentle smile at the corner of her lips carried a hint of mockery.

A hint of sinister jealousy flashed in Lu Shiqing's eyes, but as if he had thought of something, his expression returned to normal.

He even scoffed.

Although he was like a prisoner at this moment, he didn't seem to think he had lost.

His face carried an inexplicable confidence and fearlessness.

Looking up at Shen Sangruo, whose eyes were indifferent, she seemed to have a hint of expectation in her gaze.

"Lu Shiqing, have you gone mad?" Her tone carried a hint of disgust. "Aren't you going to care about the team competition?"

Instead of collecting materials, he came to cause trouble for Bai Ruoan by himself?

"What's the big deal about a team competition?" Lu Shiqing's voice was contemptuous, his expression obsessive.

How can it be compared to what he is doing now?

For him, entering this secret realm was solely for finding Shen Sangruo; he didn't care about anything else.

“I’m not crazy, I’m perfectly clear-headed. You’ll soon understand what I mean, Sang Ruo.”

Lu Shiqing's eyes softened inexplicably, and the word "Sang Ruo" seemed to contain boundless tenderness, doting affection, and intimacy.

Even before their falling out, Lu Shiqing had never addressed her in such a tone.

Shen Sanruo was immediately disgusted and got goosebumps all over her body. She felt that Lu Shiqing was really mentally unstable and had gone mad.

At this moment, Ye Huai, Song Weiyan, and Su Xiyu also came over.

After hearing Lu Shiqing's words, he hardened his resolve and his fists hardened.

The magical artifacts and spiritual energy in his hands were itching to be used, and he couldn't suppress the urge to strike Lu Shiqing.

What kind of lunatic is this, daring to covet their junior sister?

Shen Sanruo quietly observed Lu Shiqing. Compared to before, he was much thinner, with sunken eyes and a pale face that made him look somewhat sickly.

It's hard to imagine how he managed to get himself into this state.

The only thing that remained unchanged was his pair of obsessive, crazed eyes, fixed on her, unwilling to miss any tiny change in her face.

However, as time passed, her expression remained unchanged, and Lu Shiqing did not see the scene he wanted.

His initially confident expression gradually crumbled and began to contort.

"Why did this happen... why did this happen?!"

With such a familiar defense-breaking formula, Shen Sangri immediately understood what Lu Shiqing meant.

"You've used the Seven Emotions Curse on me again." This wasn't a question, but a statement.

Recalling the scene just now, she realized when he had cast the spell on her.

Lu Shiqing's target from beginning to end was her. His attack on Bai Ruoan was just a smokescreen. His purpose, besides venting his anger, was to lure her over and take the opportunity to use a curse on her.

Indeed, when people are speechless to the extreme, they can actually laugh.

Shen Sanruo strongly suspected that the Seven Emotions Gu had gnawed and taken over Lu Shiqing's mind, making him so obsessed with the matter of casting the Gu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shiqing roared, "No, it's not the Seven Emotions Gu! It's the even more powerful Emotion-Awakening Gu!"

The Love-Awakening Gu is better at detecting emotions than the Seven Emotions Gu. As long as there is even a trace of emotion left, it will awaken that emotion to its former peak.

However, the process of awakening will be as painful as when the Seven Emotions Curse takes effect.

This was Lu Shiqing's personal motive; he wanted to punish Shen Sangruo for abandoning their past.

He intended to use pain to deeply imprint this feeling in her heart.

In recent months, he has paid a heavy price to refine the Love Awakening Gu.

"I fed the Gu worms with my own blood every day, sacrificing decades of my lifespan, to refine this Love-Awakening Gu!"

That's why he turned out this way.

No one knows how happy and excited he was when he successfully refined it; he felt that all his efforts were worthwhile.

He thought he could finally rekindle Shen Sangruo's feelings for him, feelings that were different from those of his other senior brothers, and that they could finally return to the way they were before.

"But why?! Why is the result still the same?!" Lu Shiqing's expression was twisted and ferocious as he roared and questioned Shen Sangruo.

She truly had no feelings left for him or for them.

His gaze fell upon her indifferent and bewildered expression, and a torrent of emotions erupted like an avalanche, causing him to completely break down.

A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, and the next moment he broke through the suppression of the talisman and pounced towards Chen Sangruo.

"Chen Sangruo! I won't allow you to forget our love! You can only have me by your side! Do you understand?!"

Everyone standing next to her, especially Bai Ruoan, was insanely jealous!

He wanted nothing more than to kill them all!

Shen Sanruo frowned slightly, her fingers twitched, and fiery red spiritual energy shot out, shattering the token at Lu Shiqing's waist. He also disappeared instantly and was sent out of the secret realm.

She gave a disdainful look. "That's ridiculous."

Everyone else wore expressions of unease.

Does he really think that with his limited strength, he can force himself on his junior sister?

Bai Ruoan commented, "His most important task now is to read less brainless novels."

"What's wrong with reading storybooks? Normal people wouldn't ruin their brains like he did." Song Weiyan tried her best to defend storybook lovers.

Ye Huai then silently said to Chen Sangruo, "The people from the Flying Cloud Sect are all abnormal. Stay away from them."

She nodded in strong agreement.

Those on Fenglingtai, witnessing this scene, keenly sensed the juicy gossip and began to discuss it animatedly.

"So Lu Shiqing left the group to go find the Ninghua Sect's group!"

"His target is very clear, he only targets Bai Ruoan. I remember Bai Ruoan is also Shen Sangruo's third senior brother. Hmm, I think I've discovered something amazing."

"What did they say that made Lu Shiqing so emotional? I'm so worried!"

"To me, it looks like someone who can't have the love they want, and then becomes so jealous that they turn dark and twisted."

"These two sects have so much entanglement."

Their gazes fell upon the Flying Cloud Sect's preparation area, where Lu Shiqing, who had been eliminated, had already been teleported out.

Ling Xiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Now that things had come to this, how could he not see Lu Shiqing's feelings for Shen Sangruo?

He said angrily in a deep voice, "Disgraceful thing!"
