I made plans to conquer the heroine in advance, and the protagonist was dumbfounded!

"But you don't know that I lost a bet and also completely lost you...

At that time, I was not yet the head of the Li family. People in the family opposed us being together. I argued with them, but they said that you were not a good match for me, that you never cared about me, and that you would abandon me every time you were in danger.

"But I know you're not that kind of person. So I made a bet with them, betting that you could stay by my side in times of danger, but...but for the sake of the greater good, you left, leaving so decisively. I lost the bet, and I lost you too."

"Later, I thought about eloping with you, but then your Feng family put pressure on the Li family. At that moment, I knew that it was impossible for us to be together."

Li Guozheng spoke with tears streaming down his face.

It is said that men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't been deeply saddened!

This story tells of a long-standing shadow in Li Guozheng's heart, which has been with him for eighteen years.

Feng Anli was stunned. Normally composed, she was now completely lost. She wasn't completely unaware of the events of those years, but she hadn't delved into the details.

Looking back, she at that time always had the attitude of "women are as good as men".

Whenever she encountered danger, she always asked Li Guozheng to step forward and stand in front to bear everything.

And behind all this is just the so-called "considering the overall situation".

As the future heir of the Feng family, her goal had always been to expand and strengthen the Feng family. At that time, the Feng family was just a small and fragile family in Tucheng City. From the moment she was born, the burden of the Feng family's rise and fall fell on her shoulders. How could she dare to ignore the family because of personal feelings?

Still remember, Li Guozheng was one of the few outstanding talents in Tucheng, and was hailed as the genius with the greatest potential to reach the realm of ninth-grade spiritual master.

At that time, his talent in cultivation was much higher than Feng Anli's.

However, things went against her wishes, and in the end, Li Guozheng's cultivation level failed to surpass hers. Hidden behind this was the entanglement of his inner demons!

Feng Anli looked at Li Guozheng, not knowing how to start. As time went by, looking back, she began to notice the unusual things that happened back then.

For example, how could the weak Feng family put so much pressure on the powerful Li family, and why did Li Guozheng take over the position of the head of the Li family, which he had always disdained.

Now, she seemed to have suddenly realized - it turned out that the one who had been let down all along was not Li Guozheng, but herself, the young and frivolous self who only wanted to make the Feng family prosperous!

"Guo Zheng, are these all true?" Feng Anli asked, but then felt it was unnecessary and wanted to take it back.

Li Guozheng smiled slightly and said, "It's fake."

"Then you!" Feng Anli's expression became serious again.

"The past is nothing but a fleeting thought. I only know that you now helped me win the bet we made back then." Li Guozheng said.

Feng Anli was deeply moved by this affection.

"Guo Zheng, I'm sorry, if we can return safely this time, I think..."

"Be careful!" Li Guozheng suddenly shouted.

It turned out that the Green Steel Tiger had returned. To be precise, it had never really left and had been waiting for an opportunity to attack again.

By the time Li Guozheng realized what was happening, it was too late. Qing Ganghu's target was Feng Anli. He tried to stand up to resist, but his injuries slowed him down.

Just as the sharp claws of the Blue Steel Tiger were about to touch Feng Anli's neck, a streak of light streaked across the sky.
