“You…” Qitian Yu’s eyes turned red with anger.

Smack!

Another palm strike landed on his face.

“Your hypocrisy and pretentiousness earlier disgusted me.”

Qitian Yu had never experienced such profound humiliation. While he had endured Gu Qingluan’s scorn and physical abuse within the confines of the Jun Residence, those moments had remained hidden from public view. Yet, in this instance, he was enduring a public spectacle of humiliation and reprimand in front of a multitude of onlookers.

As a prince, being treated this way was a blow to his dignity.

“Gu…”

Before he could finish a sentence, he was interrupted again.

This time, he was sent flying and tumbled several times before being forcefully dragged across the ground for a few meters.

Before he could react, a shoe stomped down on his chest.

Qitian Yu’s sight was blurred as he glanced upward with narrowed eyes.

Gradually, a stunningly beautiful face came into view.

Despite the smile on her face, it sent a chilling sensation through him.

Qitian Yu recalled the scene in the combat arena, the moment when Gu Jinyue had her tongue severed…

The raging fury inside him quickly diminished.

“Fifth Prince, here’s your chance. Admit that you had an affair with Gu Lingxue, and 1’11 spare you.”

Qitian Yu’s breath was ragged. “Do you dare to kill me?”

“Not to the extent of killing, but 1 do quite enjoy making people’s lives worse than death,” Gu Qingluan replied with a smile. Her eyes gleamed like shimmering pools, captivating and enchanting.

A shiver ran down Qitian Yu’s spine.

If only he had realized that Gu Qingluan had already uncovered the truth about that year, he wouldn’t have been so naive as to propose!

Unfortunately, regrets were useless now.

“Fifth Prince, I’ve given you an opportunity. If you’re unsure how to present your side, allow me to provide a suggestion. For instance—

Gu Lingxue seduced you, and you were tempted by her. You listened to her advice and attempted to tarnish my innocence, thereby ruining the engagement. Unexpectedly, Gu Lingxue abandoned you for her own future, and you turned to me once again. How about that? This version sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?”

Gu Qingluan had set up a barrier around them. Whatever she said, only the Fifth Prince could hear.

Everyone else saw her moving her lips as if speaking but couldn’t hear the words. Her lips curled into a bewitching smile, captivating all who beheld her.

Of course, this was overlooking the fact that she had just humiliated and trampled the handsome Fifth Prince into an almost unrecognizable state, standing on his chest.

Qitian Yu’s pupils widened. “You’re going too far!”

“Going too far?” Gu Qingluan chuckled. “I’m teaching you a valuable lesson—how to shift blame onto others. Shouldn’t you be grateful?”

Qitian Yu was dumbfounded by her audacity.

How could she say such a thing without batting an eye?

If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have been forced into this situation, would he?

“It appears the Fifth Prince is holding thoughts of my sister who’s far away in Qiankun Academy. To offer himself for her sake, 1 must oblige your heartfelt sentiment. When my younger sister discovers the depth of the Fifth Prince’s affection, she will surely be greatly touched.”

Gu Qingluan produced a vial of medicine in her hand and played with it absentmindedly. “Are you curious why your loyal Xiao Anzi betrayed you? You’ll soon understand his feelings.”

Qitian Yu’s pupils contracted, and his voice trembled. “You… You dare… We in the royal family also have Revered Ones. If something were to happen to me, my father will not spare you!”

Gu Qingluan’s expression remained unchanged. “Is that so? Between a prince and a Revered One, who do you think your father would choose?”

Qitian Yu’s expression froze.

Without a doubt, it would be the Revered One.

That was why Gu Qingluan had such confidence!
