I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

All the wounds on Gu Lan's face were healed. The skin-growing ointment was made of something unknown, but it felt cool when applied on the face. The old skin fell off and new skin grew, making the skin as smooth and beautiful as an egg. Even Shan Ling, who didn't care much about appearance, was envious and asked Gu Lan for a bottle.

Gu Lan had not expected this transformation. After her injury healed, she was anxious and went to find Qin Susu. Unexpectedly, countless pairs of eyes were looking at her along the way, which made her feel a little helpless.

Ling Yebai has stayed indoors since he came out of the sword tomb and has not cared about any affairs within the sect. He was originally a disciple of Danyangzi. After Danyangzi's death, he continued to practice with Wan Jianying.

Wan Jianying treated him well, but Ling Yebai knew very well that he was not Wan Jianying's direct disciple. After all, there was a layer of distance between them. He knew that he would not have any future in the sect. The only thing he could do was to practice diligently, so he became more and more strict with himself.

In addition, Gu Lan rejected him, and the boy's heart, which was just beginning to fall in love, was broken into eight pieces. He became even more indifferent to other people and devoted himself to his cultivation.

After completing the training for the day, he finally went out and saw many disciples gathered in the entrance hall, whispering to each other, pointing at the disciples of Tianyan Sect with hateful looks on their faces.

Ling Yebai didn't know the reason, and was about to move closer to listen carefully when he saw Gu Lan walking by.

I haven't seen her for many days. I didn't expect that she was still staying in Xuantian Sword Sect.

Ling Yebai looked closely and saw that she had lost a lot of weight, but her body looked more graceful. She originally had an oval face, but now her chin looked more pointed. Her eyes on her palm-sized face sparkled even more, making people envious and longing for her...

Maybe... he was too arrogant and finally lost such a woman.

Ling Yebai's eyes were lingering in the darkness.

Gu Lan had no idea about all this. When she saw everyone stopped talking and looked at her, she felt a little uncomfortable. She was about to turn around and walk away when someone called her.

"Junior Sister Gu, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

The one who called Gu Lan was Zhu Wenbo.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Zhu Wenbo is still the same calm and steady image, but there is a trace of sadness between his brows. His former high spirits have disappeared and he has become more mature.

Gu Lan didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing Zhu Wenbo's sincere eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say, and thinking that he had never done anything to let her down, she nodded silently.

The two walked towards a secluded place.

Ling Yebai followed without realizing it.

Zhu Wenbo looked at the girl shining brightly in the sun, feeling mixed emotions.

When he first met her, she seemed like a hateful businessman who blackmailed his fellow junior brothers and sisters, but to be honest, the roasted rabbit was indeed delicious. At that time, he felt that although this person loved money, she was actually a good cook.

Later, he fell into a snake cave and fought alongside her. Although her cultivation was weaker than his, she was both wise and brave and was not afraid. She skillfully used the blasting talisman to injure the giant snake and lead herself out of the cave... At that time, her face was covered in dust, like a little cat, and her smiling face made people want to get close to her.

At that time, a corner of his heart had collapsed, leaving her with an inch of space.

Later, when they went to Yongle Town together, he also witnessed her courage and carefulness, her sincerity and loveliness towards others, and she was a very reliable partner.

Later, she went to the secret territory of the Shenyin Sect and met the demon Guqi. She risked her life again in exchange for everyone's safety, and was eventually abducted by the demon Guqi. Fortunately, she was lucky and did not suffer much harm. Instead, she met the senior Duba and received guidance in swordsmanship. It can only be said that lucky people are always blessed with good fortune, which is beyond the reach of others.

Finally, when it came to the sect competition, Zhu Wenbo slowly realized that Gu Lan's cultivation had improved rapidly and was not much inferior to Ling Yebai.

He started practicing earlier than her, but had always been stuck at a certain level. Seeing that she was making progress day by day, he actually felt jealous.

Only then did he realize that he liked Gu Lan, who was always at a disadvantage but still as tenacious as a weed. However, if she gradually approached him or even surpassed him, his arrogance as a man would make him become narrow-minded.

Love and jealousy gnawed at his heart like a worm.

He thought that maybe not seeing her would reduce the pain, so he avoided her. But he couldn't help wanting to know, so he watched secretly in the dark like a mouse.

Zhu Wenbo hated himself for being like this, and he was ashamed to face Gu Lan, who was as gentle as the clear moon and the breeze.

But now he had to face Gu Lan. If he didn't talk to her, he might...

"I wonder what Senior Brother Zhu wants to say?"

Gu Lan saw that he was just staring at her without saying a word, and she didn't know what he was thinking. She was anxious to see Qin Susu and find out what Master Kurumu meant. She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she seemed impatient.

Zhu Wenbo was deep in thought when he was brought back to reality by Gu Lan's words.

Seeing that she still called him Senior Brother Zhu, he felt warm in his heart, "I didn't expect you to still call me Senior Brother, I thought..."

Yes, how could she be such a person who can't clearly distinguish between love and hate?

He was afraid that Gu Lan would be angry with him because Lingyao was the head of the sect, but he didn't expect that he was being petty.

"Why?" Gu Lan asked anxiously when she saw that he didn't speak again.

Zhu Wenbo smiled, "I am narrow-minded. I thought that Lingyao and the headmaster's matter made you hate Tianyan Sect, and you also hated me. I didn't expect that Junior Sister Gu is really a generous person."

Gu Lan turned his head and took a deep breath.

She was not magnanimous. If she was angry, she was naturally angry. She didn't even want to see anyone from the Tianyan Sect.

But along the way, Zhu Wenbo left a good impression on her.

People should clearly distinguish between what they love and hate.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

Whoever does something wrong is responsible.

"I'm not a magnanimous person. To be honest, I'm really angry. Do you know? The demon lord who made a pact with Lingyao cut my junior brother's tendons in his hands and feet, sucked out his inner elixir, and damaged his sea of ​​consciousness. Although his spirit platform is intact, you know how difficult it is to restore the inner elixir in the sea of ​​consciousness. Which sect in heaven and earth has the strength to do this? If he can't be repaired, my junior brother will be a useless person for the rest of his life!"

Zhu Wenbo's face darkened. Yes, he had heard about these things too.

They have a deep relationship, how can they not be angry?

"I'll bring Lingyao to apologize to you." Zhu Wenbo was about to salute, but Gu Lan stopped him.

"No need for that. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Lingyao has already been killed by me. I will never let her live after hurting my junior brother to this extent."

There was still fire in Gu Lan's eyes, and Zhu Wenbo knew that the fire was not directed at him.

Ling Yebai was shocked after hearing this in the dark. Ling Yao was actually killed by Gu Lan?

After being kicked out of the sword tomb that day, he had no regrets and flew away quickly with his sword drawn, unaware of this incident.

"You did a good job!" Zhu Wenbo said solemnly, "To form a pact with the demons is to betray the entire cultivation world. Even if you don't eliminate harm for the people, the entire cultivation world will never tolerate it. She deserved to die."

Gu Lan pursed her lips and said nothing. The person was dead, and she didn't want to comment further.

"But I still want to apologize to you." Zhu Wenbo bent his knees and was about to kneel down. Gu Lan was startled and hurriedly pulled him up.

He shouted, "What are you doing?"
