The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

The screen then switched to the next scene.

This scene caused everyone to pause in surprise and turn their attention to Cheng Youmeng.

Because in the scene...

Cheng Youmeng lay in Gu Ran's arms.

Cheng Youmeng, who was originally nervous and expectant, was also stunned.

This scene was also beyond her expectations.

In the light screen.

Gu Ran, as a "spectator," watched the scene before him thoughtfully.

There's actually a romantic storyline between "him" and Cheng Youmeng?

Yes, Cheng Youmeng is actually quite... uh...

Thinking of Cheng Youmeng's stunning figure, Gu Ran suddenly felt a bit lost in thought.

However, he quickly suppressed these thoughts in his heart.

That's just a normal man's appreciation of a beautiful woman.

Gu Ran calmly explained to himself in his heart.

If he had met Cheng Youmeng first, then it would have been very likely that they would have developed a romantic relationship.

But since there was no such opportunity in the past, there won't be one in the future either.

He didn't want to drag anyone down with him anymore.

Besides, he's also unsure how to handle Cheng Caimeng's feelings right now.

On one hand, his past relationship with the little conch shell made him lose any normal desire for other relationships.

Especially Alice's death...

It had a significant impact on him.

Then there's Xue Xiling... Even though he tried his best to control his emotions, the final outcome...

With the corroboration of other experiences, Gu Ran had already made some guesses about some of the mysteries surrounding him.

He didn't want to have any deeper connections with anyone until he had verified his suspicions and solved the underlying issues.

He needs to become cold-hearted, he needs to become ruthless.

Only in this way can we prevent the past from repeating itself and avoid hurting anyone we care about.

Therefore, he felt no further emotion at the scene of his "self" being close to "Cheng Youmeng".

To simply view this scene from the perspective of an audience member, or to think about this scene from the perspective of a researcher.

"Gu Ran, you're so strong, why don't you apply to Lanxin University for a martial arts-related major?"

"Cheng Youmeng" asked in a slightly coquettish tone while nestled in "Gu Ran's" arms.

"If you were in the same major as me, we would see each other much more often than we do now."

All the powerful figures outside the light screen turned their gazes toward Cheng Youmeng.

That woman with the coquettish tone is the renowned Grandmaster Cheng Youmeng?!

Is that Cheng Youmeng, who just used her murderous intent to make them wary?!

Even Xue Xiling couldn't help but look at Cheng Youmeng.

313. Cheng Youmeng's "Simulation": Did she die? (4k)

Even with Cheng Youmeng's calm demeanor, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous under the gaze of so many people.

The main reason is that she herself had never imagined such a scenario.

Moreover, before, it was "Gu Ran" and her "sister" who were in love, and now it's suddenly her and "Gu Ran"... become lovers.

The scene changed so quickly that I hadn't even recovered from my previous understanding, and I suddenly had the feeling that she was "stealing" my brother-in-law.

For a brief moment, Cheng Youmeng even felt a strange sense of guilt.

But in an instant, she realized that she had never done such a thing.

This is just the "bubble world" that the "Abyss Overlord" showed to Gu Ran.

Although it's still unclear what this "bubble world" actually is, one thing is certain—it's not something that actually happened in this world.

Once Cheng Youmeng understood, she immediately felt more confident.

"That was just a trick played by the 'Lord Overlord' of the Abyss. The truth is... I have no special relationship with Gu Ran."

But at that moment, a voice suddenly appeared from somewhere in the crowd.

"That's not necessarily true! When you showed me the memories of Lanxin University, the way you looked at Gu Ran didn't seem to be without any special feelings."

"Oh, I see. It must be that you have a crush on Gu Ran, but Gu Ran doesn't like you. It's like the flower is in love, but the water is indifferent. If that's the case, then it can indeed be considered that there is no special relationship between you."

The atmosphere at the scene changed immediately after these words were spoken.

Cheng Youmeng's pretty face turned fierce as she gripped the sword hilt and glanced toward the source of the sound.

Those who were being looked at instinctively moved aside to avoid interfering with Cheng Youmeng's actions and to prevent themselves from being caught in the crossfire.

But then they noticed that Cheng Youmeng's brows were slightly furrowed and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

They immediately looked around and found that everyone had stood apart, and no one was taking responsibility for what they had just said.

How is this going?

Persuaded?

They looked at each other, trying to figure out who the coward was.

They themselves dared not provoke Cheng Youmeng, but they were still quite willing to watch the show when they saw others doing so.

What puzzled them was that they couldn't find the person who had just spoken.

After thinking it over, they realized that the voice they had just heard was completely unfamiliar, unlike any of their own.

Although many of them were indeed unfamiliar with each other, as members of the allied forces who had jointly captured Meteor City, they had at least heard each other's voices.

However, no matter how hard they tried to recall, they couldn't find the person who had spoken that voice.

"You have the guts to gossip, but not the guts to stand up?" Cheng Youmeng said coldly.

The powerful figures present once again scrutinized each other, and they could see that Cheng Youmeng was truly angry.

They also wanted to find the person who had caused the trouble, preferably a powerful one, so they could help them test Cheng Youmeng's strength.

What disappointed and annoyed them was that they still couldn't find the person who had spoken earlier.

It was as if the air itself had just made a sound.

"Hmph, if you don't have the guts to stand up, then watch your mouth!"

Cheng Youmeng loosened her grip on the sword hilt, snorted coldly, and turned back to look at the screen, as if the matter was over.

Although the other powerful figures were disappointed that a fight hadn't broken out, after what had just happened, they no longer had the mind to think about the relationship between Cheng Youmeng and Gu Ran.

However, no one saw that the moment Cheng Youmeng turned her head, her expression became thoughtful.

This wasn't the first time she'd felt it, but the previous times she'd only vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But this time, she clearly sensed that something was very wrong.

She was certain that there was a "spy" among them.

This "spy" seems to enjoy sowing discord among the allied forces, speaking up several times at delicate moments, but when you look closely, you can't find anyone making the noise.

Although she sensed the other party's presence, Cheng Youmeng did not reveal it immediately, but instead pretended that she had not sensed anything.

Although she sensed the other person's presence, she couldn't identify who they were in the crowd and couldn't pinpoint their identity.

If revealing it now might alert the enemy, it's better to remain patient and wait until the target is identified before delivering a fatal blow.

The scene immediately returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

However, everyone's thoughts have become somewhat subtle and completely different from before.

Lin Fan had been unusually silent for a moment.

Because he sensed something was wrong.

This sense of unease stemmed from the fact that the situation was starting to develop in a direction beyond his control, but he had no clue how to deal with it.

This made him lose all interest in "caring" about his originally planned "harem".

Women are merely accessories to power and authority.

As a man with lofty ambitions, Lin Fan knew he had to be able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Once he resolves his own "trouble," the "harem" issue will be easily resolved.
