Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Wenjun has been spoiled since he was a child, and the excessive pampering made him arrogant and domineering.

Zhu Ping'an was not the first person he bullied, but he was the one he bullied for the longest time.

The others who were bullied by Wenjun more or less gave in, and some even became Wenjun's followers.

From victim to accomplice.

Zhu Ping'an was unwilling to give in, which made Wenjun bully him even more vigorously.

So, why not give in?

Just like her.

Zhu Ping'an could sense that Wen Wan in front of him didn't seem to be looking for trouble, and the vigilance in his eyes faded a little.

But the voice still contained a chill.

"Why give in?"

"You can't beat him anyway, so isn't it better to give in and make things easier for yourself?"

Wen Wan didn't know whether she said this to wish Ping An well, or... to find another excuse for her behavior.

"And then become an accomplice to the evil, bullying the next person? Or give in, hide away for a while, and wait for Wenjun's next 'whim'?"

Wen Wan: "...What's wrong with that?"

As long as that person is not her, everything is fine, right?

Zhu Ping'an finally turned around.

She stared at Wen Wan for a while before slowly looking away: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just don't want to be that kind of person."

很平淡的一句话。

No anger, no accusations, just calm.

At that moment, Wen Wan knew that Zhu Ping'an was destined not to be the same kind of person as her.

She was also destined to hate Zhu Ping'an.

If Zhu Ping'an gave in and obeyed, Wen Wan would have the right to find an excuse for herself.

She did this only because she had no choice, because she was living under someone else's roof and was forced by the situation.

She didn't want this to happen. She and Wenjun were different.

But Zhu Ping'an's words shattered Wen Wan's excuse.

"...Anyway, I've already warned you, so take care of yourself."

Wen Wan left after saying this, looking like she was fleeing in panic.

In the days that followed, Wen Wan continued to be Wen Jun's little follower as usual.

During this process, Wen Wan saw many bullied people either give in or join Wen Jun.

Bullying those who are weaker than oneself can bring temporary peace to oneself.

Gradually, Wen Wan discovered that becoming Wen Jun's little follower was not the end.

Because there are bound to be weak people in a group.

The weak will definitely be bullied in this group.

In the group around Wenjun, only those who can please Wenjun are "strong".

Wen Wan hates Wen Jun and everything he does.

But when the choice and fork in the road were once again placed before her, Wen Wan still made the same choice as before.

Gradually, Wen Wan began to give advice to Wen Jun, and she became the most capable person around Wen Jun.

The more she did and the more she saw, the more Wen Wan hated Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an's existence seems to remind Wen Wan all the time that there is no difference between her and Wen Jun now.

Wen Wan witnessed Zhu Ping'an's initial resistance, pain, and numbness.

But she never thought of giving up or begging for mercy.

Wen Wan didn't understand, nor did she want to understand.

Every time she saw Zhu Ping'an covered in bruises, she would mock him in her heart, thinking that Zhu Ping'an was a fool.

Wen Wan felt that she and Zhu Ping'an were at opposite ends of a scale.

Only when Zhu Ping'an's side sinks and her side rises, can she prove that her original choice was correct.

But when Wen Wan saw with her own eyes that Zhu Ping'an became Lin Wenyu's disciple and became the first disciple of Immortal Wenyu.

Wen Wan found that the balance in her heart was gradually shifting.

The end belonging to Zhu Ping'an kept rising, while the end belonging to her kept sinking.

Until Wen Junqi's death.

The balance was completely tilted.

Wen Wan didn't have much affection for her father, who sent her to this hellish den for profit.

But it was very important to her that Wen Junqi was alive.

With both her parents passed away, she was a young lady from a side branch who had little presence in the family, especially a family like the Wen family which was rotten from the root.

Wen Wan knew better than anyone what her future situation would be.

At that moment, Wen Wan suddenly realized ironically that now she could only rely on Wen Jun, the man she hated.

During that period, Wen Wan worked even harder to please Wen Jun and give him advice.

But in the quiet night, Wen Wan was alone in the dark room.

She was also confused about why she did so much.

What did she get?

This question seems to never have an answer.

But she knew that she had already made her choice at that fork in the road.

Now she can only go down this path to the end.

When Wen Wan saw Zhu Ping'an had a master, fellow disciples, and a brand new future, and embarked on a path completely different from hers.

The balance in Wen Wan's heart had already changed at some point.

The side belonging to Zhu Ping'an had already risen to a high place, while the side belonging to her had sunk to the depths.

Therefore, when he noticed Wen Xinya's jealousy towards Zhu Ping'an.

Wen Wan's first reaction was a secret joy.

It seemed that in this way she could make the unbalanced scale less uneven.

But it was not until today that Wen Wan suddenly realized that she was the only one who cared about the balance in her heart.

So she spoke, just like the first time she spoke to Zhu Ping'an.

He said things that he didn't even understand why he said them.
