Lu Yinyin’s face was full of struggle, but at this point, it seemed she could only resign herself to her fate. "City Lord, since you have no place for her in your heart, why not let me help you take care of her? It would spare you the trouble of her suddenly appearing and disturbing your current life." The man, however, couldn’t be bothered with Lu Yinyin. He had already learned from Tie Yi that he had been affected by a Gu insect. Someone had foolishly attempted to control him using the Gu Art, committing a great taboo in his eyes. For this reason, he held no fondness for Gu Art. "Master, Tie Yi understands!" Tie Yi was about to take action, but Dong Huiying struggled free from the man and stepped forward. "This is a matter between her and me." "Stop this nonsense!" The man looked at her disapprovingly, wanting to pull her back to his side. She smiled faintly, a seductive playfulness appearing on her face that she must have learned from someone else. "City Lord, are you worried about me?" "Worr..." Under his mask, his face suddenly turned grim. He clenched his fist. He was worried about her? Before he could make sense of his feelings, Dong Huiying had already made her move. She initiated the attack on Lu Yinyin, who responded ruthlessly, commanding the swarm of Gu insects to surround Dong Huiying. But Dong Huiying was not like Lu Yinyin; she didn’t create a huge spectacle. She simply called out for Xiao Hua, and with a flutter of its wings, it flew out from her sleeve. As soon as Xiao Hua appeared, it could be seen that the Poisonous Gu insects raised by Lu Yinyin hesitantly backed away a bit. They seemed instinctively fearful of Xiao Hua. With a flap of its wings, iridescent dust sprinkled down from Xiao Hua’s gossamer-thin wings. The dust was sparse, but once it fell upon the army of Gu insects, they instantly began to attack one another. "No, how could this be?!" Lu Yinyin’s face was etched with disbelief. Dong Huiying said indifferently, "I told you, you are a novice playing with fire!" Lu Yinyin had paid a great price to summon these Poisonous Gu, only to have them so easily diffused by someone else. She thought she had the upper hand, but it turned out she had overestimated herself! With a light tap of her toes, Dong Huiying rushed toward Lu Yinyin, but suddenly, a gust of wind hit from behind, and someone crashed into her, followed by a muffled grunt. She stopped her forward charge and quickly turned back to catch the man falling toward her. Touching something wet, she braced his body with one arm, and lifting her other hand, the blood-red color stabbed into her eyes. "I’m fine!" The man’s voice was somewhat hoarse. Everything had happened so suddenly; his mind hadn’t had time to think clearly, and his body had already reacted, shielding her from what would have been a fatal blow. At that moment, a woman wearing a headscarf, her lips a bright red, approached at a leisurely pace. "Yinyin, it’s been a year, and to find you in this state is rather surprising, even for your sister." Lu Yinyin’s complexion softened a bit, looking at the woman whose arrival was shrouded in mystery: "Eldest Sister..." She sighed in relief. Lu Yuanyuan glanced at the scattered Gu insects on the ground, her brow slightly furrowed as if she found them somewhat distasteful. "Why are you still raising these vile creatures?" She looked disapprovingly at Lu Yinyin, then slowly twirled her wrist, retracting a long whip covered with sharp barbs. Dong Huiying supported Liang Zhichen.
