Huyan Lan nodded. "Mm."
"Brother, Sister Lan, she is... she is the Champion Emperor Phoenix!" Jiang Sui shook Su Hang, so excited she was incoherent. "Aren't you shocked?"
"I found out last night that she's Phoenix."
Why didn't you tell us?
"You didn't ask me."
The most intense and shocked reaction came from Yin Long, who felt a sense of dread, as if he had been with Mulan for twelve years and never knew Mulan was a woman. He could accept that Hu Xiao was the Yin Tiger Mountain Lord, but how did this busty girl become Phoenix at Herald of Dawn?
Is this the new captain Exalted Emperor's Sovereign Dominion Team, or the old captain Imperial Emperor's Imperial Crown Team?
Add to that the deliberately concealed identity of Chen Dragon and Silver Dragon, and this becomes the dream team of the Three Champion Emperors, the strongest vice-team lineup of the first Imperial Crown!
" Exalted Emperor! You must accept Mother Huang's confession today, or else I..." Qingrong suddenly snatched the fruit knife, held it to her neck, and threatened, "Or else I Qingrong, will die right here!"
"What the hell? Xiao Lan confessed to Brother Su last night?" Hu Xiao's heart was filled with shock.
"You can't judge a book by its cover." Yin Long exclaimed in astonishment, "I didn't realize, big boobs... oh no, Phoenix, you actually have a crush on the captain?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Jiang Sui looked completely bewildered. She had tried her best to matchmake her brother and Sister Lan, but both of them insisted it was just a friendship, with no romantic feelings involved. What was this all about Sister Lan confessing her feelings to her brother?
"Confess your feelings to Exalted Emperor?"
Yugong Liuli's eyelashes trembled slightly, her small hands clenched tightly against her chest. For a moment, she felt an emptiness and loss in her heart, which she couldn't describe in words, but felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Huyan Lan, the person involved, was completely bewildered and stunned. "When did I confess my feelings to Exalted Emperor?"
As Qingrong made the gesture of slitting her throat, she coldly said, "I and the other core members of Phoenix Crown all saw it. Last night in the hotel corridor, you, Mother Huang, confessed your love to Exalted Emperor, but were rejected, and you wept bitterly."
Huyan Lan was about to explain.
"I'm not joking, Exalted Emperor." Qingrong pressed a fruit knife into his neck, drawing blood, and raised his chin, saying, " Mother Huang has given me a second life, and I sincerely hope she can find happiness, so please be with her!"
" Xiao Xue, you've misunderstood. I really didn't talk to Exalted Emperor..."
Su Hang said coldly, "My relationship with Phoenix is over."
"Yes, yes, Exalted Emperor and I are already... what the heck?" Huyan stared wide-eyed at Su Hang in shock, stammering, "What do you mean we're already over?"
Everyone wore expressions of amused amusement.
Qingrong asked blankly, "Why did it end?"
Su Hang said calmly, "Because she did something to wrong me, it's completely over between us."
"I... I'm sorry?"
Huyan Lan's head was buzzing. She had done too many things to wrong Su Hang: arranging a fight in the mountains, releasing pigeons, deflating the tires on Su Hang 'Su Hang bicycle, stealing the lunchbox her junior had made for him...
The problem is, they are best friends, not lovers.
However, as the saying goes, "A beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love, and joking around is a sign of being in love." The little things I did with Su Hang did indeed feel like we were lovers in name only!
Could it be that Su Hang always thought they were dating? Or were they in an ambiguous relationship that was more than friends but less than lovers?
Qingrong, her breathing unsteady, asked, "Was there something that made you uncomfortable when Mother Huang confessed her feelings last night, which is why you rejected her?"
"I already told you, I didn't confess to him." Huyan Lan had a terrible headache, but then she seemed to realize something, slowly furrowing her brows and muttering, "If that's the case, then everything makes sense."
Su Hang has a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially regarding intimate relationships. He demands that emotions be purely platonic. Last night in the hotel corridor, she was in tears, hysterically telling Su Hang that she used to really like Imperial Emperor.
If Su Hang believes they are in a romantic relationship, then her statement that she likes the Imperial Emperor is undoubtedly a betrayal of love and an emotional affair!
Although she was completely unaware of Su Hang's feelings for her.
It was after what happened last night that Su Hang began to deliberately distance himself from her, ignoring her and even treating her coldly.
"First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to you!" Having come to her senses, Huyan Lan a deep breath and slowly bowed to Su Hang. "Thank you for your kindness, but I truly only treated you as a close friend and had no ulterior motives whatsoever."
Su Hang remained silent.
"Secondly, as you know, I used to be a member of the Imperial Crown Team and had an online relationship with Imperial Emperor for a while, but it ended badly." Huyan Lan chuckled. "I hate him, I wish I could kill him."
Su Hang's expression turned cold.
"But what you just said made me realize something. It's not just about you Su Hang; I also did many things that wronged Imperial Emperor, especially by secretly contacting that team."
Su Hang was stunned.
"From my perspective, I, Phoenix, have a clear conscience. But from the Imperial Emperor's perspective, without a doubt, I, Phoenix, am a shameless traitor. If I ever meet the Imperial Emperor in reality, I will apologize to her."
Su Hang's heart skipped a beat.
"Finally, as Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion Feng, I want to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, I, Huyan Lan, will always stand by your side and will never betray Sovereign Dominion or you!"
Su Hang's heart trembled violently.
He waited eight long years for Phoenix's sincere apology and its promise of never betraying Phoenix!
Everything seems to have changed, yet everything seems to remain the same.
Looking at the sincere Phoenix bending down and reaching out its hand.
Su Hang's expression softened completely. Using love to torment Phoenix was a lose-lose situation, a double-edged sword where he would kill a thousand enemies but also lose eight hundred of his own.
He knew that only by receiving an apology from Phoenix could he reconcile with Phoenix and rightfully reclaim his love.
Go find that inseparable partner with whom you will live to old age, and who would immediately commit suicide if one of you were to pass away!
Su Hang reached out and shook his hand. "I hope you find someone who truly loves you in the future."
Huyan Lan smiled and said, "I also wish you to meet a good person."
Everyone was completely baffled.
Yin Long scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "I haven't even figured out what's going on yet, and you two have already made up like nothing happened?"
Hu Xiao Roar crossed his arms and said with relief, "Damn it, we should make up. We're all friends, not mortal enemies."
"Who confessed to whom?" Jiang Sui's little head was filled with big questions. "So, did my brother and Sister Lan ever date before?"
Why... am I happy?
Yugong Liuli blushed slightly. She covered her chest, her joy not stemming from the reconciliation between Exalted Emperor and Huyan Lan, but from another inexplicable emotion.
" Exalted Emperor! Why did you reject my confession last night?"
A furious voice suddenly came from the doorway, "You have to give me an explanation today! Otherwise, I'll kill myself!"
Everyone turned to look at the scene.
Are there more experts?
