Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Yan Xixi? What kind of nickname is that?” Yan Xi’s mouth twitched.

At this moment, the five families who had been lagging behind had caught up. After running for six hours, the people who had arrived were all sweating profusely. They could no longer hold on when they saw the team from Imperial College. They collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Yan Gu and Yan Chushi squeezed through the crowd and ran over. Yan Gu’s body was drenched in sweat. As soon as he reached Yan Xi’s side, he could not hold on any longer. He collapsed like a salted fish, panting heavily.

“Boss! You… How can you be so fast? You’re too abnormal! You’ve become… crazy strong… Yan Chushi has also become so strong… You two are insane!”

He gritted his teeth and recalled how he was panting from exhaustion. His legs were as heavy as lead. Yan Chushi did not even sweat, and his short legs were moving faster than him. He felt humiliated!

Unlike him, Yan Chushi was sharp enough to sense that the atmosphere was not right. He pursed his thin lips and stood beside Yan Xi.

“Wait a minute… Why is His Highness looking at us?” After taking a deep breath, Yan Gu realized that the atmosphere was not right.

The atmosphere was so intense that it could erupt at any moment.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and landed on Duanmu Rou. Yun Yuhan’s aura was too strong, and people around him would subconsciously ignore the others.

When he saw Duanmu Rou, Yan Gu could not help but burst out laughing. He whispered to Yan Xi, “Why is Duanmu Rou bald? There are only a few strands of hair left on her head!”

Although his voice was soft, it was clearly heard by others.

Everyone looked at Duanmu Rou’s head.

Her head was covered in bald patches and there were only a few pitiful locks of hair left.

However, she still looked so pitiful. If it was the old her, many men would take pity on her. However, she just looked hilariously pathetic now.

Due to Duanmu Rou’s status, no one dared laugh out loud. Only their shoulders trembled. Even so, the laughter of hundreds and thousands of people converged into one.

Duanmu Rou touched her head in a panic.

Her miserable shrieks pierced the sky!

The thought of her bald head being seen by so many people made Duanmu Rou go crazy. She could no longer care about maintaining her gentle image.

“Yun Yuhan! Kill Yan Xi! Quickly kill Yan Xi! She’s the one who caused me to be like this.”

“She didn’t pull out your hair.” Yun Yuhan furrowed his brows, his tone cold and rational.

Hearing this, Bai Ling’s face was filled with fear. “Your Highness, No… You can’t blame me. She used me first… And I lost hair too!”

Duanmu Rou’s eyes were bloodshot, her sharp fingers almost digging into Yun Yuhan’s flesh.

He was just a piece of trash! He usually did not care about anyone, so why was he not willing to teach Yan Xi a lesson for her?

“But she was the one who fanned the flames and caused me to be like this! Why aren’t you willing to help me teach her a lesson? You’ve always helped me in the past! Do you like her?” Her voice was hysterical.

Why did it have to be Yan Xi?

When Yan Xi heard this, she spat out the water in her mouth.

Ji San, who was standing in front of her, almost choked on his own saliva. He turned around to look at Yan Xi. His amber eyes paused and fell on her red lips and perfect jawline. Then he looked away and nodded. “I think she’s crazy.”

“You’re not in your right mind. You need to calm down.” Yun Yuhan furrowed his brows and stared at Duanmu Rou with his ice-cold eyes.

Under his cold gaze, Duanmu Rou gradually regained her senses. When she realized what she had just done, she instantly panicked. “Yes… I’m sorry.”

All these years, she had relied on that little stone figurine to get closer to Yun Yuhan than anyone else.

Yun Yuhan was also very indulgent toward her. As long as she had any requests, although he did not like to talk much, he would secretly help her achieve her goals.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that even so, she could still feel the estrangement between him and her. He obviously gave her almost everything she asked for, but she clearly felt no love from him at all!

This made Duanmu Rou panic. She was afraid that once the truth was revealed, Yan Xi would take everything from her!

Yun Yuhan had treated her well only because of the stone figurine in her hands, not because he loved her!

After all these years, she had only vaguely found out that the reason why Yun Yuhan treated her so differently was that the girl who carved this little stone figurine had helped him when he was young before he was discovered by the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

In order to fit the little girl in Yun Yuhan’s memory, she had worked hard for so many years to create an image of someone who was willing to help others.

Duanmu Rou pursed her lips and deliberated over her next words. “Yun Yuhan… Although Yan Xi wasn’t the one who did it, she was still involved in it. If it wasn’t for her provocation, how could Bai Ling and I have fought? We came to the Misty Forest on a mission, but she kept trying to drive a wedge between us. Bai Ling and I were injured because of her. Although she doesn’t deserve to die, she should still be punished, right?”

“Duanmu Rou, what does that have to do with me?” Yan Xi leaned against the tree and raised her eyebrows.

“She only attacked you because you threatened her!”

Yan Xi stepped forward, the curve on her lips slowly fading. The girl’s figure was tall and straight, her eyes sharp and cold. “Duanmu Rou! Don’t take others for fools! If you want to target me, come out and I’ll accompany you to the end! Don’t be a hypocritical coward who hides behind others! You pretend to be a saint, but you’re a disgusting sinner. Who are you trying to fool?”

Everyone was shocked by Yan Xi’s words.

Although the people of Tianqi were bold and open, girls still had some restraint. It was rare to see someone as straightforward and firm as Yan Xi!

However, her words strangely made people unable to feel any ill will toward her!

Yan Xi’s back was straight, and her eyes were bright. As she stood there, her entire body seemed to be glowing.
