After detoxifying Yu Tianheng, with Ye Lingling's treatment, Yu Tianheng quickly recovered as well.
"I never expected you to have an External Soul Bone too." Although Yu Tianheng had recovered by now, the blow to his heart was even greater. Zhao Zilong was several years younger than him, yet he had still lost—lost to someone several years his junior. That was an absolute gap in talent. If he was no match for him even now, then he would likely never be able to catch up in the future.
Yu Tianheng quickly rose to his feet. "I lost. I'll leave."
"Have you misunderstood something?" Zhao Zilong spoke up at this moment. "There's absolutely nothing between Sister Yanyan and me. Elder Dugu asked Dugu Yan to break up with you not because of me, but entirely because of you."
Hearing this, Yu Tianheng was clearly indignant. He merely snorted and said nothing. Zhao Zilong continued, "Even without me, if she met someone else in the future, Elder Dugu would still make Dugu Yan break up with you. In the end, it's because your strength doesn't match your status as the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Besides, Yiran treats me very well. I won't do anything to betray her."
At Zhao Zilong's words, both Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. Not just the two of them—Meng Yiran, standing behind them, also felt as though her heart had been smeared with honey, overflowing with happiness.
Yu Tianheng had been filled with frustration, but Zhao Zilong's words seemed to make him instantly grasp a sliver of hope. He looked at Zhao Zilong doubtfully and asked, "Brother Zilong, is what you said true?"
"That's right. The one I like is Yiran. I've always only treated Sister Yanyan as an older sister.
