Chapter 64: Princess Tang's Stark Contrast
Ye Xixuan stood frozen, staring into Tang Wutong's eyes. He was actually a little taller than she was, yet he felt an invisible pressure weighing on his heart.
That pressure did not come from Tang Wutong, but from a certain utterly selfless God King.
With his memories of his previous life, he naturally knew that the original storyline had already undergone enormous changes.
Like a sudden flash of inspiration, Ye Xixuan found himself recalling his past experiences.
From meeting Tang Ya all those years ago, to entering Shrek Academy to seek protection at his family elders' urging, to this encounter with Tang Wutong-everything seemed to connect in an instant.
Both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were bound to that utterly selfless God King by countless threads. With Tang Wutong now standing before him, wouldn't becoming too deeply involved with her mean being lashed firmly to the Tang family's warship?

But he had never met Tang Wutong before, so there was naturally no debt of gratitude between them. At least he could choose his relationship with her according to his own wishes.
Even so, Ye Xixuan's heart remained exceedingly heavy. In this era, he would inevitably have to face the pressure exerted by God King Tang.
