After dressing up as cannon fodder, I beat everyone in the house until they cried.

Chapter 597 You weren’t like this before
Han Nuo also withdrew his gaze from the platform. Unlike Shen Qi who had a grudge against him, as a clear-headed bystander, he could easily discover the clues.

Han Nuo even secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: It was all thanks to his sister.

On the other side, Shen Qi was shocked to see that Shen Hualan was actually helping Ling Miao to deal with him.

He quickly turned his head and looked at Yan Qing gloomily, "Didn't you say you were willing to accept her? Didn't you go and tell her?"

Yan Qing's expression was also frighteningly gloomy, "I said it, but it was no use."

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Qi's eyes, "How is it possible? You told her that you were willing to accept her, and she was unmoved?"

This shouldn't be the case. Everyone knows that Shen Hualan loves Yan Qing to the core. Now that Yan Qing is willing to lower himself to accept her, he is also relieved. But she has changed her personality instead? This shouldn't be the case? How long has she been kicked out? How could she change so completely?
The gloom in Yan Qing's eyes did not dissipate. After that day, this layer of gloom has always shrouded his heart.

He also couldn't understand why a person could change so much.

Just for a tree?

Shen Qi: "Is your attitude not sincere enough? But the situation is different now. We need the Qilin in her hand and the alien beasts in Ling Miao's hand to fight for our Divine Beast Palace! Go find her again and make sure to tell her clearly that I agree with you two being together!"

Yan Qing: “…”

But that day, the other party was so indifferent to him that he simply couldn't muster up the courage to look for her again.

Now that he had experienced it himself, he couldn't even imagine what kind of mood Shen Hualan was in before, appearing in front of him so enthusiastically after being ignored by him time and time again.

But he also couldn't imagine what she was thinking when she rejected him that day.

Perhaps he was indeed wrong to watch the tree that she protected so dearly that day in the hall of the Divine Beast Mansion die without saving it. If he had known that this would lead to the consequences now, he would have definitely saved her.

But, is it possible that in her eyes, he is not as good as a tree?
And she knew clearly that he had always had her in his heart. She had waited for him for so long, but now that he was willing to take this step, she refused.

He couldn't accept that they ended it so lightly!

Then what are all her past things?
Bang!
Ling Miao flew up, and the black iron sword attacked Shen Qi again, colliding with his magic weapon and protective shield. Shen Qi was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

The golden-horned beast slapped away several spirit beasts of the sect leaders or elders with one slap, and then let out another wild roar, repelling the column of fire that Shen Qi's Qilin was spraying towards it.

The other alien beasts were also ruthless. In the face of the huge gap in strength, no matter what kind of spirit beast it was, it would only take a slap to defeat it.

For a moment, screams were heard one after another, and the spirit beasts that were knocked away were flying all over the sky.

The army of alien beasts in front was advancing as aggressively as tanks, and the other side, relying on the huge strength advantage on both sides, had no intention of ending the battle. They advanced very slowly, their attacks were incoherent, and they were deliberately dragging them to fight, which was full of sarcasm.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the people from the Divine Beast Continent all took out their spirit beasts to stop it. Many people also attacked the fire vines from behind that were blocking their escape direction.

But for some reason, the vine wall was like a solid wall of iron and could not be penetrated at all.

At this moment, a figure passed by Ling Miao and went behind her.

Ling Miao narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness emerging in her eyes, but she did not stop the figure from passing by her.

At this time, Shen Hualan was standing on the arena. A steady stream of spiritual energy flowed from her body into the ground, and with the blessing of the things given by Ling Miao, it became more and more vigorous.

A figure landed right in front of her.

Shen Hualan narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand, and the burning vines rose from the ground, blocking Yan Qing's way. Yan Qing was stunned. He had never thought that one day, he and Shen Hualan would be in such a situation.

Facing the cold eyes on the other side of the fire, he didn't even have the courage to walk over.

Yan Qing's voice was very lonely and mixed with pain.

"Hualan, are we really going to...make a scene like this? You were obviously not like this before."

The corner of Shen Hualan's eye twitched, and extremely rarely, an inexplicable disgust rose from within her heart.

"If you hadn't come here, there wouldn't have to be such a fuss."

She glanced at the battlefield over there and said, "Your fellow disciples are all fighting, it's inappropriate for you to come here and slack off."

Yan Qing looked into her eyes, "Now your words are more useful than anyone else's fight."

Shen Hualan smiled contemptuously and said, "Why should I speak for someone who has hurt me?"

Yan Qing took a deep breath, "I know you blame me for not helping you then."

"I admit that I was wrong. Hualan, my inner demons have been tormenting me all this time. I've gotten used to having you by my side. When you're not around, I'm...very miserable."

Ever since she left that day, he couldn't control his mind, thinking about her appearance crazily, and his mind began to lose focus. He didn't expect that he had fallen so deeply. This period of time was already a punishment for him.

He looked at her sincerely, "I will plant a peach tree just for you and grow it with you, as compensation for my failure to act in time."

Shen Hualan's hand, which controlled the spiritual energy, trembled slightly as Yan Qing spoke. Her eyes flashed, and the look she gave Yan Qing became a little weirder, and even complicated emotions surged up.

When Yan Qing saw that the other party's expression relaxed, the huge stone that had been pressing on his heart for days also loosened.

"This time, I will protect you and will not let you suffer any unfair treatment again."

But the next second, the woman on the other side of the vine spoke.

“I can grow peach trees myself.”

Yan Qing was stunned, his mind went blank, and he stared at Shen Hualan blankly. He had already said this much, wasn’t it enough?

Meeting her teasing gaze, he shuddered inwardly, a painful feeling spreading across him that made his scalp tingle.

Until this moment, he finally began to believe that she might really not care about him anymore.

It only took her a split second to let go!
"I was thinking, if the old me heard those nonsense you just said, I would probably cry out of excitement."

"It was only later that I discovered a truth."

Shen Hualan looked at Yan Qing with a complicated expression for a while, then gently raised one hand and spoke in a calm tone.

"It turns out that blindly giving in, lowering one's posture, and showing goodwill will not bring about fairness."

"Only when I am strong enough."

"Fairness will be born from my hands."
