"What???"
"Miss Xun Er?!"
"Representing the Xiao Clan? How is that possible?"
"Did I hear that right? Why would Miss Xun Er..."
"Xiao Xun Er? Isn't she the Ancient Clan's eldest young lady?"
The Ancient Clan's camp instantly erupted into an uproar, countless gazes converging on Xun Er and Xiao Yan. Those gazes were filled with extreme shock and confusion, ultimately transforming into furious rage at being betrayed! The supreme goddess in their hearts was now standing against the Ancient Clan, at the side of that damned Xiao Yan!
The other Dou Di descendant clans were no less shaken. After all, who did not know Gu Xun Er? The Ancient Clan's genuine brightest jewel, the clan leader's daughter!
The situation, which had been on the verge of erupting into a fight over a single slot, immediately calmed with Xun Er's arrival.

Gu Qingyang's upright body swayed almost imperceptibly. His lips were tightly pressed together, and his handsome face, always as gentle as jade, was now filled with indescribable bitterness and struggle. He had understood the reason behind this scene before anyone else, but that only made it more painful for him. He looked at Xun Er's back, watched her walk without hesitation toward Xiao Yan, and pain and helplessness filled the depths of his eyes. For Xiao Yan... she had ultimately taken this step. Publicly declaring that she represented the Xiao Clan was not merely choosing a side. It was a challenge to the Ancient Clan's entire inherited order, placing herself completely in the eye of the storm!
Had she considered the immense pressure and criticism she would face within
