Jian Yan and Shen Yanyan watched as Su Chen carried Ding Yao into the sky until they disappeared in a streak of light.
The two of them slowly looked away.
Shen Yanyan was in high spirits and immediately looked at Jian Yan with a gossipy expression, saying, "Tell me, what exactly is the relationship between those two!"
I don't think he's simple. I always thought he was your rival in love.
But now it seems like he has some kind of ambiguous relationship with that girl!
Could it be the two of them...?
Previously, Su Chen and Ding Yao made no attempt to hide their conversations or actions from others.
Given the limited size of the rooftop, it would be difficult not to understand what the two were talking about.
Naturally, Shen Yanyan's mind became quite active.
But Jianyan gave her a disapproving look.
Why do you care so much?
Stop talking behind people's backs. I think that girl is quite innocent and sensible.
Although I look down on Su Chen, that girl named Ding Yao seems to be a good girl.
Aside from misjudging people, there's nothing wrong with it.
She probably really only sees Su Chen as an older brother.
You'd better not spread rumors about other people.
Everyone has a different opinion.
Jian Yan had witnessed everything from beginning to end, but he didn't have many thoughts about it.
On the contrary, he actually felt quite sorry for the girl named Ding Yao.
Even though I was very sad, I kept holding it in and suppressing my feelings in order to consider other people's feelings.
If it weren't for what Su Chen said at the end, perhaps the other party would have kept suppressing himself and not showing any emotion.
It's really hard to find a girl who is so understanding and considerate.
Especially when Jianyan compared the guy next to him with the other person, he felt the gap was even bigger.
"Hey, we're both girls, why are you so much worse than others?"
This statement was made completely openly and without any attempt to conceal anything.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanyan was immediately displeased.
She was so angry that she was about to bar her teeth and claws to teach Jianyan a lesson.
"What do you mean I'm that much worse than other people?"
While waving its claws at Jian Yan, it angrily cursed, "Why don't you rush up now and tell that Su Chen that you two switch places?"
You men are all the same, not a single one of you is any good!
I think you've got your eye on that girl!
Indecisive and half-hearted, wanting more than what's in the pot!
All you ever do is hog the CPU!
I admit I'm prettier than them, but I'm not very smart.
I'm not as good at feigning pitifulness as others, nor am I as good at shedding tears.
But this is the most authentic version of me!
The more she talked, the angrier she became; Shen Yanyan was truly angered by Jian Yan's words.
Especially considering the other person's consistently lukewarm attitude towards me.
She felt even more wronged.
Yes, she admitted that she wasn't as pretty as his Wan'er, or that scheming girl with a heavy heart!
But can we blame her?
She wasn't talented in cultivation and wasn't very smart; it wasn't like she begged him to teach her!
Why does he have to compare her to others?
Does she really not deserve any self-respect and deserve to be trampled on by him?
A pair of claws aimed straight at Jian Yan.
She kept pinching his flesh hard, but Shen Yanyan didn't notice that the latter's brows were already furrowed.
If it were just Shen Yanyan's weak, chicken-claw-like attack, Jian Yan would naturally not care.
However, he had injuries inflicted by the Taixu Cauldron.
The bombardment from Dao artifacts is not so easy to withstand.
He possesses an innate sword physique, unlike those with a constitution focused on defense.
How could one possibly withstand a Dao artifact head-on?
He even suffered varying degrees of damage to his bones and muscles, the pain was excruciating, and his body was even convulsing, making it difficult for him to stand.
His forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"Enough!"
Finally unable to resist, Jian Yan grabbed those claws with both hands.
Shen Yanyan was surprised that Jian Yan would resist, as the other party had never resisted before.
After all, according to the other party, he was an innate expert, while she, who had only tempered her body, was no ordinary person. Whatever she did would be painless and ineffective for him.
But today, for the first time, he rebelled.
Her wrists were bruised and sore from being squeezed, and Shen Yanyan's eyes instantly reddened; she was scared.
But he still stubbornly shouted, "Why are you being so fierce!"
"I exposed your thoughts, and you're getting angry and embarrassed!"
Seeing her like this, Jian Yan didn't want to argue with her. He loosened his grip and then summoned the Heavenly Thought, saying, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."
"Give me your hand, I'll take you home."
He gripped the sword hilt with one hand and reached out to Shen Yanyan with the other.
But the girl wasn't buying it.
She even plopped down on the ground, wiped her eyes, and said in a huff, "None of your business, I can find my way myself."
Go chase after that sensible younger sister you admire! I won't take your place.
Perfect timing! Didn't you say that she only sees Su Chen as an older brother?
Then why don't you just become Su Chen's brother-in-law!
"You're so handsome, that girl will definitely say yes. I wish you a long and happy life together, and may you never have any descendants!"
He rattled off a whole bunch of things, but they were all just angry words.
But it still made Jian Yan's expression visibly darken.
Looking at the girl throwing a tantrum on the ground, being unreasonable.
Jian Yan wanted to teach her a lesson, but his upbringing in a wealthy family prevented him from harming a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Enraged, he wanted to command the heavens to strike recklessly.
But in the end, Jianyan squatted down, as if he had given in, and tried his best to appear friendly as he said, "I know I said the wrong thing, and I apologize to you here."
