"What?!" Huang Xi exclaimed, "Could it be because of her previous mission, so..."
"Huang Xi!" Hong Ling hurriedly stopped Huang Xi from continuing, glancing at Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan noticed the gazes of the crowd and spoke with some displeasure:
"Hey, I at least passed yesterday's bet, so I'm officially one of you now. Shouldn't you at least consider my feelings? Why are you excluding me? You were so kind to me before, but now you're treating me coldly. You're so fickle..."
“We can be called sisters, but what about you? Can you? What are you?” Hong Ling said with a cold snort.
"I..." Gu Liyan pointed at the women in exasperation, "Although I can't be your sisters, I can be your brother and protect you!"

Cheng Xi nodded. "I understand."
Gu Liyan was furious. "Hmph, I don't care anymore!"
Seeing Gu Liyan leave, everyone inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you think he won't tell anyone about this?" Huang Xi asked with some concern.
"Just to be on the safe side, Qingqing, you will follow Gu Liyan and monitor his every move, making sure he doesn't leak this information," Hongling instructed after thinking for a moment.
