Lin Qingyue braced herself against the ground, utterly broken, her expression wild. "Why?!"
"What gives you the right to kill me?!"
Su Ye did not answer. He merely raised the Sparrow Sword.
Lin Qingyue clenched her teeth, barely able to contain her fear.
She seemed desperate to grasp at something that might make her feel safe. "No! You can't kill me!!"
But Ye Xingli, standing behind her, could no longer watch in silence!
She strode forward, anger rising across her face.
"Lin Qingyue!!"

Lin Qingyue shuddered and looked at Ye Xingli!!
The woman who was usually so gentle and gracious could barely contain her fury now.

"Fine! Even if your elders arranged it and you wanted out, you had that right! But did you ever compensate Su Ye? Did you ever feel sorry for him?!"
"Afterward, you watched Su Ye rise and grew bitter again and again. You couldn't stand seeing him do well. Am I wrong?"
"That's how it's been from beginning to end, hasn't it?!"
"You clung to that absurd obsession because you wanted to prove breaking off the engagement was the right choice. You refused to face the truth, didn't you?"

She was furious!

Now she stared coldly at Lin Qingyue.
"Let me ask you something."
"Did Su Ye ever target you back then?"
"The class placement test? He stole your spotlight? In
