Forceful

"Xiao Yan Gege, don't say that!"

Xun Er's eyes reddened as she suddenly stepped forward and rose onto her tiptoes, her jade-like hand tightly covering Xiao Yan's mouth. Her tearful starry eyes looked up at his despondent gaze, and her heart ached faintly.

"Xiao Yan Gege, you've already done more than enough to reach your current cultivation. Who could have imagined that the young man from the Xiao Family of Wutan City would make it this far and become a respected Dou Zong powerhouse?"

Xiao Yan reached out and took Xun Er's soft little hand, murmuring, "But Dou Zong still isn't enough. It's not enough..."

"I believe Xiao Yan Gege can go even further!"

Xun Er smiled faintly. Just as in the beginning, when everyone in the Xiao Family had looked down on Xiao Yan, she and Xiao Zhan had continued to believe in him.

Now that Xiao Zhan was gone, she was the person in the entire world who believed in Xiao Yan the most!

"Ling Quan's talent is merely average. He only has his current cultivation because of his bloodline and the vast resources invested in him by his clan. He even underwent the Emperor Altar's baptism... Could Xiao Yan Gege possibly be inferior to someone like him?"

Xun Er stood very close to Xiao Yan, the two nearly embracing. Breathing in the familiar scent from his body, she comforted him softly, a blush spreading across her face. Meanwhile, Ling Quan in the distance was utterly dumbfounded.

They were actually using him as a negative example?

Was this some kind of joke? He had won this fight, yet Xun Er not only failed to throw herself into his arms or see him in a new light, she even belittled him to comfort that lowborn wretch?!

This was intolerable!
