As a Nascent Soul cultivator, this level of poison had no effect on his body. However, the clothes he wore today were custom-made by the best clothing store at the foot of the mountain, and they did not have any defensive grade.
What a waste of such a fine outfit.
But seeing the heartache and anger in Tu Longjian's eyes, he felt a secret sense of pleasure rising within him.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
An Lan appeared to be in pain, her clothes on her shoulder were half torn, revealing her fair and smooth shoulder through the tattered garments.
Her slightly wavy black hair was stained with a lot of dark green venom, making her look as eerie as a siren. Some of it was also on her eyelashes, trembling as her long eyelashes quivered.
A stream of ink flowed down her hair onto her face, leaving a mark resembling a demonic pattern, before flowing along her defined jawline to her smooth chin.
The drops gathered and fell onto her fair collarbone, spreading out.
The beautiful woman was disheveled, her long, wet hair clinging to her body, making her look extremely pitiful. Her beautiful eyes were slightly open, as if telling a story of grievance.
Tu Longjian's eyes darkened as he glared angrily at Gan Xiuming.
How could you bully my senior brother?
Gan Xiuming was somewhat regretful, after all, An Lan was also a direct disciple of Yifeng, and he had offended someone due to his impulsiveness.
However, upon hearing Tu Longjian's words, his blood boiled and he laughed in anger.
"I'm bullying you?"
"But he should at least stop seducing other people's partners!"
"A disciple of the prestigious Yifeng Sect is actually a vixen! She dresses in pink every day to seduce my Xiangxiang."
He was still bothered by the pink dress; it was obvious that Chunxiang thought the man looked better in pink.
Gan Xiuming's eyes were practically spitting fire as he glared angrily at Cong Anlan.
He had just seen it clearly: the demon was not injured at all and was deliberately not dodging. He must be trying to seduce Chunxiang by using this posture!
Gan Xiuming couldn't tell the difference between green tea and other types of tea.
He recognized the green arrow at a glance.
Tu Longjian's voice was cold, "Xiu Ming, you have disappointed me greatly."
Gan Xiuming felt a little wronged. He had been so good to Chunxiang, so why was she still attracted to that vixen?
He took a big step, wanting to lift An Lan's hair to show Tu Longjian the scars, but Tu Longjian blocked him.
He was furious: "Your senior brother wasn't injured at all, he was just faking it. What's his cultivation level, and what's mine? How could I possibly hurt him?"
Tu Longjian was still angry: "Why don't you believe me? Why are you going against him?"
"You did hurt him, no matter what."
Gan Xiuming flew into a rage, "I didn't! He deserved it, who was he trying to impress with that vixen? He could have easily dodged it!"
Tu Longjian shook his head. "You're being unreasonable."
"Senior brother, let's go." After saying that, she was about to pull An Lan away, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Gan Xiuming hurriedly stopped Tu Longjian.
He looked pitiful: "Chunxiang, don't go."
"I...I just love you so much that I got carried away for a moment."
"I apologize to your senior brother."
Gan Xiuming gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I'll get you the antidote right away."
"What do you want with Chunxiang? Go back and change your clothes after you finish speaking. I need to lock the door here; it's inconvenient."
Under Tu Longjian's gaze, Cong Anlan had no choice but to accept the antidote and said to Tu Longjian in a muffled voice, "Master wants you to come to the bamboo forest."
He clutched his torn shoulder and left with a somewhat forlorn air.
Stepping outside the courtyard, An Lan slid down the wall, looking sorrowful.
So that's what kind of person he is...
Weren't you here to deliver a message? How could you have unknowingly done something so... absurd?
What's wrong with him?
It seems that every time he encounters Tu Longjian, his thoughts and actions are no longer under his control.
He could laugh and joke with everyone without caring, but when facing Tu Longjian, he, who was usually carefree, felt a little restrained.
Tu Longjian chased after her outside and thanked Cong Anlan from afar.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Anlan."
Driven by a sense of crisis, Gan Xiuming's favorability rating for her soared to 70, and he began to value her even more.
Tu Longjian then said to Cong Anlan, who was panicking and trying to escape, "Senior brother, I'm sorry."
An Lan froze, her voice muffled.
"Need not."
He was afraid of hearing anything more like "[We are deeply in love]", so he hurriedly fled, missing Tu Longjian's last telepathic message.
[I don't like him, but I was forced by circumstances. I hope you can understand and forgive my previous actions.]
Tu Longjian frowned as he watched the other person's departing figure.
Did you hear that?
----------------
After the farce, Tu Longjian and Gan Xiuming tidied up the courtyard and prepared to set off to find Senior Brother Li.
Halfway there, Gan Xiuming suddenly told her to wait a moment.
After waiting for about half an hour, Gan Xiuming arrived, looking refreshed and saying, "Xiangxiang, let's go."
A hint of suspicion flashed across Tu Longjian's face.
Later, she finally learned from her senior brother Li that Gan Xiuming had actually cut down the peach tree in the yard.
It turned out that Gan Xiuming became increasingly angry as he thought about it, so he went back and cut down the "tree that symbolized their love" to vent his anger.
The two arrived at Senior Brother Li's residence. Tu Longjian wanted to go in, but Gan Xiuming stopped him.
Gan Xiuming's handsome face was filled with jealousy, and he said warily:
"Xiangxiang, I'll go return it by myself. You wait here."
Tu Longjian didn't mind; it was a small matter anyway, so she stood at the door and waited.
Gan Xiuming was satisfied and went inside with a smile.
"Senior Brother Li, I've come to return the key."
Senior Brother Li was reading a book when he heard this, so he stood up and said gently, "You've come."
