Ao Li finished her account.
A long silence fell over the hall.
Gu Chenfeng looked at the peerlessly beautiful woman opposite him, her silver hair draped over her shoulders, her gaze indifferent, her entire body radiating an icy aura.
Deep in his heart, it felt as though something had jabbed him.
Previously, Gu Chenfeng's impression of Ao Li had always been that she was cold and scheming.
Though she had some conscience, she was far more often cold and unfeeling.
He had thought her noble bloodline and powerful cultivation had given her the habit of looking down upon all living beings and treating everything with indifference.
Only after he became her Dragon Servant and came to Water Dragon City had his understanding of this woman gradually deepened.
And now, he had heard her recount her own past.
Gu Chenfeng vaguely understood the reason behind it, and for the first time, he felt a trace of sympathy for her.
"All right, I told you all this to let you know that their malice toward you stems from me.
"That can never be erased, so stop being foolish and trying to correct it."
Ao Li spoke seriously again and instructed him, "Keep a low profile for the coming days. You'd best not leave the Water Dragon Division.
"I'll be entering seclusion for a while to prepare for the selection of the Water Dragon Division's leader in a few months."
Gu Chenfeng was somewhat startled to hear this.
This woman actually intended to contend for the position of leader of the Water Dragon Division, and she seemed quite confident.
Her own strength was probably even more terrifying than he had imagined.
Ao Li said nothing more. The next moment, her figure dissipated like mist, and she left Gu Chenfeng's residence.
After she left.
