Being fortunate enough to see the Ancient Assembly's president and the Pill Gathering champion together was naturally an unexpected delight for those attending the gathering.
Yet what puzzled them was that the Ancient Assembly's president, whose methods were so fierce that even the older generation of experts had collectively felt ashamed, had somehow heard something from Xiao Yan that left her standing frozen in place like a stone statue.
Stunned, rigid, as though she might burn out in the next moment and turn into snow-white ash.
"Xun'er."
"Xun'er, what's wrong?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's puzzled voice, Xun'er almost had to force herself to pull it together. She barely managed a smile. "I-I'm fine."
Although Xun'er had already learned of their relationship from Hun Ruoruo, when she truly heard that sentence from Xiao Yan himself, she still involuntarily reached the brink of collapse.

Thinking of Hun Ruoruo standing with her arms crossed, wearing a teasing smile as she made her call her sister-in-law, Xun'er clenched her silver teeth and actually made an utterly unladylike grinding sound.
Xun'er swore that she had never faced such darkness in her entire life.
She couldn't beat her in a fight, couldn't compete with her in influence, and what infuriated Xun'er most was that woman had never even pursued Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had been the one to pursue her!
That left Xun'er with no grounds whatsoever to condemn her!
"Hun Ruoruo, you really are something!"
Xun'er muttered viciously under her breath.
So what if she has a slightly better figure, slightly bigger breasts, is slightly prettier, and is slightly stronger?
*I, Gu Xun'er, may not be unable to become that
