Ch. 61An overabundance of justice
Zhu Tao tried to stop Liu Shan from taking Xiao Yu to Yanjing, convinced that Xiao Yu was a fraud who meant to exploit her. After Xiao Yu stopped Zhu Tao’s attack and revealed his history and unrequited feelings for Liu Shan, Zhu Tao was left confronting how much Xiao Yu knew about him.
- Liu Shan told Zhu Tao she and Xiao Yu were returning to Yanjing together, and Zhu Tao accused Xiao Yu of deceiving her.
- Zhu Tao refused to let Xiao Yu go and prepared to fight, while Liu Shan stood between them and challenged him.
- Zhu Tao lunged at Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu’s single word calmed him and kept his fist from landing.
- Xiao Yu recounted Zhu Tao’s history of risking himself to help others and his long-standing, unreturned love for Liu Shan.
- Xiao Yu asked Zhu Tao whether his account was wrong.
