After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

However, Gu Sheng had only taken a few steps when a strong gust of wind came from behind him.

He quickly turned to defend himself, narrowly blocking the knife aimed at him.

"It really is you!" Gu Sheng suppressed his surging anger. Although he was anxious to save the person and had his back to the other party, he did not let down his guard.

He didn't miss that fleeting glance he had just caught, seeing the starlight condensing at the fingertips of this person as they treated Mu Liangyue.

Although it was a minor matter, there was no doubt that he was the man who led the way in that courtyard back then, and also the man who locked him and Lu Sijian in that room at a critical moment.

Later, the man took him to that courtyard, subjected him to unbearable torture, erased his memory, and abandoned him in the alley!

—That devil's accomplice!

The fake Lu Ting's expression changed slightly, showing some surprise. "You really have regained your memories?"

He paused, then sighed, "I took every precaution, but I never expected you to break the seal and regain your memories."

If that last strike was just a test, now he truly intends to kill.

He flipped the knife in his hand and stabbed at Gu Sheng again with ruthless force.

Gu Sheng was also wary of him, and the two started fighting again.

The fake Lu Ting's men and Gu Sheng's men quickly started fighting.

Lou Xiao frowned as he glanced at the two's actions, but had no intention of intervening. He turned around, picked up Mu Liangyue, and had the bodyguards escort him as they prepared to leave.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and she suddenly raised her voice, "Lou Xiao, don't you want to know why I said Lu Sijian is my savior?"

Fake Lu Ting: "The person who saved you when you were on the verge of death outside the alley was clearly Mu Liangyue! I'm not lying about that, am I?"

Lou Xiao looked at the two groups of people. Just as Lu Sijian had said, he only brought two bodyguards, and he himself might not even be able to protect himself, let alone save more people.

Mu Liangyue was injured while saving Lu Sijian, who was fleeing in panic, and has already made the choice for him.

As for Lu Sijian...

A person's reaction in a crisis cannot be faked. Perhaps she is no longer as brave as she used to be and has become selfish and indifferent.

What's more, she actually drugged the Lu family members and released her father's killer.

Lou Xiao was not just disappointed, he was utterly devastated and utterly disappointed.

"Brother Xiao..."

Sensing the unease in the person in his arms, he lowered his head and said, "It's alright, I'll take you away now."

Mu Liangyue leaned against Lou Xiao's chest. She had longed for this embrace for a long time. There was no apprehension or burden in it; it was like a beautiful dream.

"Mmm," she responded softly.

Now that everything has settled down, she doesn't want to hear about those old stories, nor does she want to waste her energy meddling in other people's business anymore.

Since kindness is always betrayed, why can't she be a little selfish?

Just like Gu Sheng, even though it's true that I saved him, why was his gaze so cold just now, as if he didn't care about me at all?

But Zhou Yu clearly said on the phone that she was the one who woke Gu Sheng up, isn't that right?

Gu Sheng: "Idiot, we've both been fooled! Or are you bothered that Lu Sijian was abused when she was a child?"

He was so engrossed in talking that he didn't notice the fake Lu Ting's knife almost slicing through his throat.

Gu Sheng's pupils constricted. The will to survive that burst forth in that instant made him grip the tip of the knife without hesitation and push it outward with all his might.

At the same time, two figures rushed forward, attacking the fake Lu Ting from the left and right.

The fake Lu Ting's expression changed slightly. "How could it be you?"

The attackers were none other than Lu Lingjun and Lu Lingchen, who should have been drugged and rendered unconscious.

His mind raced. Something couldn't be right. Could it be that the person "he" sent had failed?

Lu Lingjun coughed lightly, his clothes stained with blood, his face as pale as a ghost: "Where's A-Jian?"

The fake Lu Ting felt slightly relieved. Seeing Lu Lingjun's condition, he was already at his limit, and it was highly likely that "he" had succeeded.

Then he smiled and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? Lu Sijian betrayed you. Her ultimate goal is to destroy the Lu family! The temple never makes mistakes. She carries original sin and is inherently evil."

Lu Lingchen: "You keep talking, and you've said that words have power. You're a priest, so you might be able to hypnotize people's minds if you talk too much. But I don't believe a single word of it."

Hypnosis may seem powerful, but as long as you are wary, you cannot let it affect your mind.

Lu Lingjun: "What are you so afraid of? Why are you still not giving up on smearing A-Jian even at this moment?"

Gu Sheng looked at Lou Xiao: "I know, he wanted to hypnotize the two of you, didn't he? Lou Xiao, you are so hypocritical!"

Of all the people present, Gu Sheng dared to say that, apart from Lou Xiao himself, she was the one who understood him best.

In order to steal the wealth of the Lou Group, she tried every means to get close to him, so she naturally understood the man's character very well.

"You're bothered by what Lu Sijian experienced when she was a child. You sympathize with her, but at the same time you think she's dirty... so you harbor resentment and can't truly accept her, right?"

Lu Lingjun also realized: "If this world is a book, then the male protagonist himself certainly has the ability to influence the course of fate."

Regardless of what others do, Lou Xiao is the only male protagonist and the darling of Heaven. His choices inevitably influence the course of the situation.

While Mu Liangyue's kindness was foolish and brought disaster to others, Lu Sijian's domineering nature and vengeful heart were also undeniable facts.

Moreover, she has such a shameful past.

Lou Xiao has always been proud, capable, from a good family, and handsome. He probably only loves people with a clean background.

My sister saw things too clearly, so she never tried to ask her lover for help.

The fake Lu Ting laughed loudly: "You really see things very clearly. But do you know that time in your little world has been reset countless times? Whether it's Lou Xiao or you, you've given up on Lu Sijian time and time again! It'll be the same no matter how many times it happens!"

Lu Lingjun felt a sharp pain in his heart and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

"Big brother!" Lu Lingchen's heart clenched. He was utterly disgusted by this feeling of having to do things for others. "Don't fall for it, he's doing it on purpose!"

Lu Lingjun lowered his gaze sadly. "No, what he said is true."

He said that Lou Xiao was heartless and unfortunate, and that he himself was no different; his sister was never among his choices.

That person was right... She was clear-headed and insightful; her past reputation for being pampered was the result of careful cultivation.

The clearer he understood this, the more his heart felt like it was being fried in oil and burned on fire.

Lou Xiao was stunned. This was an angle he had never imagined before, and he felt somewhat flustered.

"But Ah Jian was only thinking about saving her own life. Liang Yue took the knife for her, and she didn't even glance at her..."

Such behavior is chilling.

Gu Sheng: "Lou Xiao, Lou Xiao, how can someone like you become a favorite of Heaven? Do you think Lu Sijian is the kind of person who is afraid of death?"

He recalled the moment the other person walked into the room, and his heart felt like it was on fire. "Do you know? Back in that courtyard, I was the first one chosen; Lu Sijian deliberately broke into that room to save me..."

The fake Lu Ting's eyes changed, and he pounced on the man like a madman, wanting to kill him to silence him.

However, a group of bodyguards burst in and quickly subdued him and the masked men.

Gu Sheng felt a chill run through her body when she recalled that terrible dream.
