Bang!
After several breaths of their palms clashing, surging force erupted from between them, forcing Gu Yuelan and Xiao Mei backward at the same time. Yet at that moment, Gu Yuelan was shocked to discover that she had retreated three more steps than Xiao Mei!
How is it possible?! She's a peak Dou Zong, while I'm a One-star Dou Zun. Why did I get pushed back farther?!
Before Gu Yuelan could recover, Xiao Mei lightly rotated her wrist and spoke coldly again.
"Take back what you said. I will never allow anyone to slander Cousin Xiao Yan!"
"Dare not!"
Gu Yuelan came back to her senses, anger rising in her heart as well.
She had already been furious because Xiao Yan had taken Gu Qinghan away. Now Xiao Mei was coming to trouble her over a casual complaint about Xiao Yan. There was no way Gu Yuelan would back down.
On the contrary, Xiao Mei's behavior only worsened Gu Yuelan's impression of Xiao Yan!
The sound of their exchange had not been quiet. It was more than enough to spread throughout the entire Commercial Street. Immediately, two groups of people appeared, standing behind Gu Yuelan and Xiao Mei respectively as they stared at the scene in astonishment.
"Xiao Mei, what happened?"
"Commander Yuelan, who is that girl? Why are you fighting her?"
Because of the commotion, pedestrians on the Commercial Street gathered around, watching Xiao Mei and Gu Yuelan glare at each other in the center.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"
"Looks like these two girls suddenly started fighting?"
"They started fighting? Over what?"
"I think I heard it was because of a man?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Young people these days—losing their heads over a handsome man?"
It proved that gossip was perfectly normal
