However... He did not expect that he would… hear Ziyan tell the story of the situation upside down. 

His Ziyan was such a kind-hearted person, why would she turn out to be like that?

"Ziyan, why do you slander the manor master and lady? I demand an explanation!"

Ziyan recovered from her shock. She gritted her teeth and said, "Qing Yuan, do you really think you"re still at Dark Warrior tier? You"re only a powerless person who got demoted and is without any social status. Do you really think I can"t find someone else with my beauty? Why should I be with you?"

Qing Yuan was shocked and stared at Ziyan, dumbfounded.

"You said it before that you don"t love vanity as power and status are not important to you. You love me because of who I am, you said it before..."

He stretched out his hand, subconsciously as he wanted to hold Ziyan"s arms.

However, Ziyan struggled, away from his hands.

"I didn"t plan to leave you earlier, but since you have already heard my words, I don"t feel like pretending anymore. Qing Yuan..." The corners of Ziyan"s lips lifted, the smile was arrogant. "You don"t deserve me!"

Qing Yuan clenched his fists tightly. "Back then, you said that Nalan Jing had fallen in love with your female servant, so he had abandoned you. And then, he eventually abandoned your female servant too?" 

Ziyan sneered. "I just didn"t want you to go and save a member of the Nalan family."

"Therefore, when I wanted to save them, you feigned illness and pretended to faint to fool me?" Qing Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

He felt very regretful as soon as he found out that Rongyan was Nalan Yan.

He regretted the fact that he did not save the members of the Nalan family back then.

If he had saved them, Nalan Zhangqian would not be humiliated, and the Nalan family would not lose so many of their members and soldiers; they would not have been killed!

It was impossible for Ziyan to not know how regretful he was!

If the master of the Nalan family did not come in time back then, perhaps Nalan Zhangqian and the other family members" souls were already frightened to death!

But he was told that all was planned by Ziyan?

Qing Yuan wanted to laugh. He wanted to laugh over his stupidity and his so-called infatuated love.

Suddenly, he broke out in tears in the midst of laughing.

"Ziyan, why do you want to deceive me? Why?

"If you"ve chosen to deceive me, why didn"t you keep on doing it? Why let me know the brutal truth now?"

He cried hysterically as his eyes were filled with grief.

He had turned his back on Manor Master because of Ziyan!

He did not save the members of the Nalan family because of Ziyan!

He was expelled from Fengyun Manor, and was demoted because of Ziyan!

He had wished that everything he had done for Ziyan was worthwhile. But now, he finally understood how stupid he was!

No wonder the Manor Master was so disappointed in him… No wonder the manor lady demoted his ability–because all of them wanted him to understand how vicious Ziyan was!

"Hahaha!"

Qing Yuan laughed hysterically without looking at Ziyan anymore. Then, he turned around and awkwardly rushed into the depth of the forest.

Suyi, who was nearby, widened her eyes in shock.

She was just asking for directions, but she did not ask for a big drama… 

"It"s all because of you!" Ziyan glared at Suyi. "He would never have known this if it weren"t because of you!"

Suyi came to her senses after a while. Then, she gently replied, "What is done during the night appears by day. For what you"ve done, people will find out eventually… "

Without turning her head, Suyi calmly left after she was done talking.
