Lu Xunxue stood silently for a long time, let out a long sigh, and turned to leave.
Zhu Ruyan leaned against the door, listening to the footsteps outside fade away before slowly sliding to the ground, beginning to cry silently.
In these days, the pressure from all sides had almost caused her to collapse.
The insidious intentions of Zhu Lei, the covetous eyes of Profound Wind Tower of the Fire King's Hall, and the scornful ridicule from the outside world had all put Zhu Ruyan through great torment.
She knew what these people wanted.
They all wanted to use her to deal with Xue An.
So she couldn't fall.
But it was really exhausting.
There was a time when Lu Xunxue silently supported her.
But now, even Lu Xunxue had "betrayed" her.
However, Zhu Ruyan didn't hate her.
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature.
As an elder sister, she had done enough.
The decisiveness she had just shown was only to prevent her from falling with her.
