Upon hearing that voice, which seemed to be carved into his Soul, Chu Xiao's gaze suddenly solidified.
A woman in a plain white dress floated over.
Her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, her melon-seed-shaped face was flawless and radiant, and her eyes were like gems.
However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with deep disappointment.
Previously, within the Sacred Realm Space, she hadn't personally witnessed the conflict between Tantai Mingzhu and Chu Xiao.
So she had thought that perhaps Chu Xiao hadn't done such a thing.
But now.
She had seen it with her own eyes—Chu Xiao's expression, filled with murderous intent and ferocity.
Was this still the kind, peaceful, and resilient Young Master he once was?
"Qingxuan…"
Although he had been deeply disappointed when Tantai Qingxuan hadn't believed him in the Jixia Academy's Punishment Hall, when he saw Tantai Qingxuan again, Chu Xiao's heart still began to beat faster.
Perhaps this was the nature of a Licking dog (dog-licker, a term for someone who excessively fawns over another).
But it had to be said, Tantai Qingxuan had already become his obsession.
"Do you still call me that? What did you say about me back in the Punishment Hall?"
Unlike Chu Xiao's complex expression, Tantai Qingxuan's eyes held only disappointment and coldness.
Chu Xiao's face also darkened upon hearing her words.
At that time, he couldn't control his emotions and cursed Tantai Qingxuan for throwing herself at Jun Xiaoyao.
It could be said that he had publicly humiliated Tantai Qingxuan.
"At that time, I was too impulsive, because you didn't believe me," Chu Xiao tried to explain.
"Believe you? With your current behavior, what makes you think I should believe you?" Tantai Qingxuan's tone was cold.
Chu Xiao was speechless.
He also didn't know why he and Tantai Qingxuan had become like this.
Was it fate playing tricks?
Just then, a light laugh suddenly rang out.
"Brother Chu Xiao, is this the woman you think of day and night? She looks quite good, but unfortunately, she's too foolish."
Chu Feifan, in a bright yellow robe, appeared leisurely.
"Who are you? How dare you insult Sister Qingxuan!"
Tantai Mingzhu's eyebrows shot up.
And Tantai Qingxuan, seeing Chu Feifan, instinctively felt a huge sense of danger.
She thought of Han Ping'an's death earlier.
"You killed Han Ping'an?"
Tantai Qingxuan suddenly asked.
"Oh, yes, I did," Chu Feifan didn't mind.
He was disguised at the moment and hadn't revealed his true face, so he wasn't afraid to admit it.
Tantai Qingxuan suddenly looked at Chu Xiao.
Just now, Chu Feifan had called Chu Xiao "Brother Chu Xiao."
Their relationship was now undeniable.
"Chu Xiao, you just had the nerve to say I didn't believe you. What about now?"
Tantai Qingxuan was practically gnashing her silver teeth.
She had just been wondering if she had truly been too distrusting of Chu Xiao.
But now, the witness had appeared.
Did this still need an explanation?
It was clear that Chu Xiao and this person had colluded to scheme against Han Ping'an.
"No, Qingxuan, I'm not…"
At this moment, Chu Xiao felt incredibly aggrieved.
What wasn't black was being painted black.
"Why are you here?" Chu Xiao said bitterly.
"Just came to take a look, that's all. I say, Brother Chu Xiao, why dwell on one woman?"
"We are people who do great things. When we succeed and reach the Peak, what woman won't we be able to get?"
Chu Feifan stood with his hands behind his back, his tone contemptuous.
In his view, collateral descendants were just collateral descendants.
Being swayed by trivial romantic affairs was utterly foolish.
Chu Xiao's face was also very unsightly.
At this moment, Tantai Qingxuan said,
"Chu Xiao, you still have one last chance. Come back to Jixia Academy with me to confess your sins."
"Young Master Jun is now the Confucian School Order Holder, and his authority is great. I will beg him to let Jixia Academy treat you leniently."
"Perhaps there is still room for things to turn around."
Tantai Qingxuan's expression was serious.
To be honest, she had already done her utmost.
Even though Chu Xiao had humiliated her in front of everyone in the Punishment Hall, she was still willing to do her best as a friend to help Chu Xiao one last time.
It could be said that she was a girl with an excellent character.
However…
It would have been better if Tantai Qingxuan hadn't spoken.
As soon as she did, Chu Xiao's eyes instantly turned blood red.
It was Jun Xiaoyao again!
Chu Xiao didn't know how many times Jun Xiaoyao's name had come out of Tantai Qingxuan's mouth.
To Chu Xiao, this was simply ten thousand times more painful than death by a thousand cuts!
This was mental torture.
In a trance, Tantai Qingxuan's face in front of him seemed to overlap with his Heart Demon.
Chu Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Heh, it's that Jun Xiaoyao again. I just want to ask, how will you beg him? Will you kneel, or will you lie down?"
Hearing these words, Tantai Qingxuan was almost incredulous.
Then, instantly, her face turned crimson with anger.
"Chu Xiao, you're truly insane!"
She had wanted to help Chu Xiao one last time.
But Chu Xiao had given her an even deeper humiliation!
This was simply repaying kindness with enmity!
Beside them, Chu Feifan watched the scene with interest, as if enjoying a play.
He spoke, "Chu Xiao, that's more like it. I say, why not just suppress her directly? Do whatever you want to do."
"A forced melon isn't sweet, but it quenches thirst."
Chu Feifan's words were like a Gu-like temptation.
But they instantly gave Chu Xiao a jolt.
That's right!
Even after all this time, he had never even touched Tantai Qingxuan's hand.
To him, Tantai Qingxuan was like a white lotus that could be admired from afar but not defiled.
However, when facing Jun Xiaoyao, Tantai Qingxuan was far less reserved and modest.
This made Chu Xiao feel extremely unbalanced inside.
Since that was the case, why didn't he just take her directly?
That way, at least Tantai Qingxuan would have no face to stay by Jun Xiaoyao's side.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiao's eyes immediately became dangerous.
And Tantai Qingxuan simply couldn't believe that Chu Xiao would do such a thing.
"Tantai Qingxuan, I pursued you bitterly, yet I gained nothing."
"Instead, that Jun Xiaoyao can get you with ease."
"Since that's the case, why should I keep pursuing? Why not just snatch you?"
As Chu Xiao's words fell, his Qi surged, and he directly moved to suppress Tantai Qingxuan.
"Chu Xiao, you are simply beyond reason!"
It was hard to imagine Tantai Qingxuan's anger at this moment.
Her former friend had actually turned into such a person.
Chu Xiao remained silent and continued to suppress her.
It had to be said that Chu Xiao's current strength was extremely powerful, and his Qi completely overwhelmed Tantai Qingxuan.
"You're not allowed to hurt Sister Qingxuan!"
Tantai Mingzhu tried to stop him.
But Chu Xiao directly unleashed the Qingyang Divine Symbol, its Emperor's might vast and surging.
Although he couldn't fully unleash the power of the Qingyang Divine Symbol, even just a trace of it was enough to cause great harm to Tantai Mingzhu.
Pfft!
Tantai Mingzhu was directly sent flying, spitting out blood from her mouth as she fell into the distance, her life unknown.
"Mingzhu!"
Tantai Qingxuan let out a heart-wrenching cry.
That was her closest cousin, and now she had been beaten by Chu Xiao, her life uncertain.
Tantai Qingxuan's eyes turned blood red from extreme hatred.
That's right.
At this moment, Tantai Qingxuan felt nothing for Chu Xiao.
There was only one emotion.
That was hatred!
Extreme hatred!
"Chu Xiao, I, Tantai Qingxuan, am completely done with you!"
The two who had supported each other in the Qingyang World completely broke off their relationship at this moment, leaving no room for reconciliation!
