"At first, there wasn't. She said she was willing. She even comforted me in return, saying she would never hate me and telling me to believe in her. Even if she lost some of her strength, she could still become Tian Huhaoqi!
"She could have done it. She could have achieved it...
"Even after losing so much, even though the team competition was the final event, she helped Huang Jin and herself win the team championship. She could have done it!
"When she truly lost her final chance, when she forever brushed past Tian Huhaoqi...
"When I asked again, she would only say that she had no regrets."
She incoherently recounted the ending from back then and gave the answer to the question, but she was unwilling to admit aloud that Zhuri hated her.
Aihao suddenly burst out laughing. She tried to hide her excitement and choked sobs. "Oh, old people are always sentimental. You'll be like this someday too."
The story had taken so long that Yu Xunge had been able to kill every Chinu Worm. It had been difficult, but she had done it.
She staggered over to the dwarf and sat down cross-legged beside her.
She had no position to comfort anyone, but an old person's tears were practically the most lethal thing in the world.
In the end, Yu Xunge awkwardly squeezed out, "Zhuri is very impressive now too. Last time in the Principal's Office, she fought Tian Huhaoqi over flower tea, and Tian Huhaoqi couldn't beat her at all. Teacher Tian Huhaoqi also told me privately that if Zhuri got serious now, there weren't many living beings in Astralana who could defeat her."
"That's because she hates me..." The old woman looked at her apprentice. At last, she gave up resisting and admitted the truth.
