Yuan Chen frowned and shielded Ye Shu. He berated Ye Shuang coldly, “Ye Shuang, I advise you not to mess around!”

When Ye Shuang saw that the person who used to speak gently to her was actually protecting another woman, jealousy flickered in her eyes. She stared at the veil under Ye Shu’s beautiful eyes and laughed revengefully.

“Brother Chen, do you want to know what Ye Shu’s face looks like under the veil?”

Before anyone could react, Ye Shuang’s figure flashed like lightning and shot out, her eyes excitedly grabbing at the veil on Ye Shu’s face!

Ye Shu was already prepared for this. She dodged the attack with a step and raised her palm. A strong gust of wind suddenly appeared. The spiritual energy surged and directly sent Ye Shuang flying!

Only a corner of the veil was lifted.

Ye Shuang fell to the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood. She raised her head with difficulty in disbelief. “You, how can it be?”

“This is… Cloudsurge Palm!”

Someone exclaimed and could not help but exclaim, “Miss Ye actually learned the Cloud-Surge Palm! I didn’t expect that not only is she proficient in alchemy, but she also has such talent in cultivation! How rare!”

Ye Shuang’s heart was engulfed by the flames of jealousy. Like a cheetah, she suddenly flipped over and rushed towards her with a powerful spiritual force!

Yuan Chen reacted at this moment. He raised his palm in front of Ye Shu and retaliated mercilessly. The strong aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator enveloped Ye Shuang, sending her flying again!

Bang!

She fell to the ground and watched in disbelief as Yuan Chen hurt her. Her eyes were filled with despair, and her liver felt like it was being torn apart. However, the pain in her body was far less than the pain in her heart!

When Yuan Chen saw the look in her eyes, his gaze paused for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he turned away from her.

Ye Shu saw Yuan Chen’s actions and frowned slightly. She did not say anything.

She lowered her eyes to look at Ye Shuang, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state. She looked disdainfully at Ye Shuang, withdrew her spiritual power, and turned her wrist. Her voice was light as she said, “Ye Shuang, those who plot against me will not end up well. You’re on your own.”

Ye Shuang was slightly taken aback as she looked up and met her gaze. Although Ye Shu’s eyes were as calm as water, they exuded a chilling aura. It was like a deep and unfathomable cold lake, surging with a different kind of sharpness!

She suddenly thought of something. When she heard her words, her eyes widened and a chill ran down her spine. She was so scared that her whole body was trembling!

Did she sense something?

“Manager Li, let the competition continue,” Ye Shu said without any interest. She glanced at Ye Shuang indifferently and walked away.

Although Ye Shuang wasn’t chased away this time, she felt even more humiliated than if she were to be chased away. Everyone’s mocking gazes continuously shot towards her, but she sat in a corner in a daze, her eyes empty.

Manager Li was slightly stunned. His voice was filled with spirit energy as he continued, “I announce that the Medicine Concocting Convention has officially begun.”

With Ye Shu’s performance just now, the participants no longer had their arrogance. They carefully carried out every step of the competition. The results of the Medicine Concocting Convention were better than usual.

Manager Li couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The boss was indeed wise. It couldn’t be more appropriate for Miss Ye to be the host.

On the other side, Ye Shu walked out of the square and heard a low and gentle voice behind her.

“Shu-er”

When Ye Shu heard this voice, she frowned in annoyance and walked even faster. However, she heard the sound of clothes fluttering. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Chen appeared in front of her. His usually cold and distant eyes were filled with gentleness.

She reflexively took two steps back and said calmly, “What is the matter, Your Highness?”

“I saw the scars on your face.”

Ye Shu was not surprised. After all, Yuan Chen was standing nearby and watching her fight with Ye Shuang, so it was not strange that he saw her.

“So?” She looked up at him, her tone calm.

Yuan Chen looked down at her calm expression, his eyes filled with pity. “You agreed to break off the engagement so decisively because your face was injured and you were afraid that you weren’t worthy of me, right?”

Ye Shu was speechless.

Seeing that she did not say anything, Yuan Chen felt that she was tacitly agreeing to it. His ego as a man instantly exploded. He pressed down on the corner of his lips and said gently, “You fool. You and I are childhood sweethearts. I’ve admired you since we were young. Why would I despise your looks? There was a reason why we broke off the engagement previously. I wanted to explain it to you, but I couldn’t find the opportunity.”

… Was this man’s brain kicked by a donkey?
