At the same time, Gu Fenglin's voice, transmitted through the microphone that Chu Yun had deliberately turned on when she stood up, spread throughout the entire palace.

Every word fell into Pei Shaojin's ears, causing the smile on his face to crack inch by inch, and fear to flash in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the guests also showed fear and whispered among themselves.

Pei Shaojin didn't have time to pay attention to them and quickly went upstairs.

Gu Fenglin's voice resounded throughout the palace once again.

"Chu Yun, I'm not lying to you. Pei Shaojin isn't sincere towards you."

He's been lying to you all along!

Pei Shaojin listened to Gu Fenglin's words as he ran, his eyes red with hatred.

Gu Fenglin, I will tear you to pieces!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Pei Shaojin saw the scene inside the room clearly—Gu Fenglin was holding Chu Yun's arm tightly, while Chu Yun was staring blankly at Gu Fenglin.

Hearing the sound, Gu Fenglin turned his head and looked at Pei Shaojin with a big smile on his face.

“Pei Shaojin is here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Chu Yun's body trembled slightly.

Seeing that Gu Fenglin was still adding fuel to the fire, Pei Shaojin felt a surge of violence.

He strode forward, filled with boundless rage, raised his fist, and charged straight at Gu Fenglin.

Pei Shaojin's arrival was ill-intentioned, and Gu Fenglin would not sit idly by and wait to be killed. He released Chu Yun's hand, clenched his fists, and sprang forward with a quick step, clearly intending to fight Pei Shaojin.

The two fists collided, producing a harsh sound, and Pei Shaojin and Gu Fenglin both retreated.

Gu Fenglin's physical strength was inferior to Pei Shaojin's, and he retreated, blood flowing from the corner of his lips.

Before he could catch his breath, Pei Shaojin threw another punch.

Gu Fenglin dodged the attack by sidestepping, and at the same time extended his foot to kick Pei Shaojin.

Pei Shaojin's reason was consumed by rage; he only wanted to kill Gu Fenglin to vent his anger. He did not dodge and took the kick head-on, which resulted in him slapping Gu Fenglin's shoulder in return.

Gu Fenglin fell to the ground, flew several meters away, and crashed into the table leg.

The vase on the table fell and shattered on the floor.

Pei Shaojin staggered and had to kneel on one knee to barely steady himself.

The two locked eyes, their gazes etched with a deep-seated hatred.

They stood up again, rushed towards each other, and engaged in close combat.

Verbal attacks and weapon fights could not quell their anger; only a brutal, hand-to-hand combat could offer them some relief.

The blood and pain ignited the ruthlessness in Pei Shaojin and Gu Fenglin's bones, and the two fought with bloodlust, determined to kill each other.

As they fell to the ground once again, Chu Yun suddenly spoke up: "Stop fighting."

Pei Shaojin and Gu Fenglin paused in their prepared movements, both looking at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun faced Pei Shaojin and stared intently at him.

"Gu Fenglin said you've been lying to me all along, that you weren't the one who saved me, and that you only got close to me for... the bet."

Chu Yun's voice trembled, and she could barely speak when the bet was mentioned.

"Tell me, is what he said true or false?"

"Look me in the eyes and tell me, what is the truth behind all of this?"

Chu Yun's eyes were red, her body swayed precariously, and she questioned Pei Shaojin despite the immense pain.

Gu Fenglin gazed at Chu Yun's retreating figure, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

From beginning to end, Chu Yun's gaze never lingered on him.

Gu Fenglin collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Upon hearing Chu Yun's words, Pei Shaojin endured the excruciating pain and stood up.

However, he dared not meet Chu Yun's gaze.

Pei Shaojin clenched his fist, causing the wound on his arm to deepen and reopen, with blood sliding down his hand.

"No, Yunyun, I am sincere towards you, and I can explain all of this."

Chu Yun: "Okay, explain, I'm listening."

"I was indeed the one who saved you on the planet Liujin. Gu Fenglin has ulterior motives towards you. He said these things on purpose just to sow discord between us." Pei Shaojin is still trying to deceive Chu Yun.

Lying on the ground, Gu Fenglin couldn't help but sneer, "You say these things without any guilt."

Pei Shaojin shouted angrily, "Shut up! This is a private matter between me and Chu Yun. You have no right to speak on it."

"Yunyun, don't listen to his nonsense, everything he says is false."

"Is that so?" a highly sarcastic voice rang out.

Han Cheng'an returned at some point, covered in blood, his clothes were all torn, and his face and hands were covered in small wounds.

She stood there at the door, looking at Pei Shaojin with a sarcastic expression.

Let's rewind to two hours earlier.

In the dream, Han Cheng'an, Chu Yun, and their daughter were eating around the dining table.

He gently served food to Chu Yun, the red light on his arm constantly flashing.

Something was calling to him, reminding him that he had something very important to do.

But what in this world is more important than Chu Yun and her daughter?

Even though the most important person is right beside him, why does his heart feel so uneasy?

"Cheng'an, what's wrong? You seem distracted."

"Eat quickly, we have to attend the Second Prince's wedding today," Chu Yun instructed.

"Second Prince?" Pei Shaojin's hand trembled as he added food, and the chopsticks slipped from his grasp.

“Yes, your good brother Pei Shaojin is getting married today, didn’t you forget?” Chu Yun replied.

Pei Shaojin?

marry?

Han Cheng'an suddenly felt a splitting headache and a wave of dizziness.

Images flashed through my mind.

Scenes of Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin holding hands and kissing...

Han Cheng'an had a moment of clarity.

He remembered everything about real life; he had to leave.

Han Cheng'an suddenly stood up and turned to leave.

"Cheng'an, where are you going?"

"Dad, don't go."

As Chu Yun and the child's voices rang out, Han Cheng'an paused slightly in his departing steps.

He turned around and looked down at Chu Yun and his daughter.

Han Cheng'an's eyes filled with tears.

"sorry."

He wanted Chu Yun in reality more than in the illusion.

After taking one last look at Chu Yun and the child, Han Cheng'an resolutely jumped out of the dream.

After escaping the Star Abyss, Han Cheng'an ran wildly towards the royal palace.

Han Cheng'an's arrival made the situation even more chaotic.

"This is evidence that Pei Shaojin left Liujinxing on the second day of the rescue, as well as military reports that the entire rescue team was wiped out."

"You should know that you were trapped in the cave for seven days before being rescued. Pei Shaojin had no chance of saving you; the person who tried to save you has already sacrificed himself."

As Han Cheng'an walked and talked, he overheard Pei Shaojin's excuses because of the microphone, and knew that Gu Fenglin had already confronted Chu Yun.

He went to Chu Yun's side and handed her the evidence.

Chu Yun's face turned pale, and she took the evidence with trembling hands.

After reviewing the two pieces of evidence, Chu Yun closed her eyes briefly, and tears she had been holding back instantly streamed down her face.

When Chu Yun opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with despair. She looked at Pei Shaojin and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Pei Shaojin, dragging his injured leg, limped over and snatched the things from Chu Yun's hands.

Upon reading the words above, Pei Shaojin knew that everything was over.

His head was down, and his evasive attitude basically meant he was admitting it.

Chu Yun gave a bitter smile. "It seems it's all true."
