"By the way, today at Eighth Brother’s wedding feast, I heard so news." Shan Langyuan chuckled, "They say Jun Xiangyi has been staying at Wangchuan Mountain lately because she’s been getting involved with a man from the Demon World, really hitting it off."
Gu Lili’s brow furrowed unnaturally, just about to speak when Long Yubei interjected, "Nonsense."
"Seventh Brother, the person said it with such detail, I figure it’s probably true, maybe they were seen together. Otherwise, why would people talk about her and not soone else?"
"So, according to you, if soone punches you, should you understand why they punched you and not soone else, is that it?"
"Seventh Brother, why are you defending her?!"
Long Yubei replied with closed eyes, "Because if she were truly involved with a man, the news wouldn’t have reached my ears from your mouth. Moreover, to my knowledge, Jun Xiangyi returned to the Heavenly World for a retreat this morning – alone. If she were hitting it off with a man, would she have gone back?"
"Seventh Brother, how do you know?"
"I saw her this morning." Long Yubei lied without blinking, having heard it from Gu Lili.
"Back to the Heavenly World for a retreat?" Shan Langyuan wondered, "Why? Isn’t life in the mortal world more carefree and enjoyable? I get it, maybe she realized she couldn’t fool the naive youth of the mortal world, and the people of the Five Realms don’t fall for her, so she must find it boring and went back."
"I say..." Long Yubei opened his eyes, glancing at him, "Old Ten, why do you have such hostility towards her?"
"Just thinking about the things she’s done, I’m amazed she has the courage to live..."
"Those are all rumors, not true." Long Yubei clarified, "You shouldn’t look at her with tinted glasses. If you actually interacted with her more, you’d know what kind of person she is. But I guess you won’t have much opportunity to interact with her now that she’s in retreat, who knows how long it will last."
Su Changzhi interjected, "It won’t be long. After all, she is still a Goddess, already at the age for suitable pairing, and the Heavenly King will definitely find her another suitable match."
"Her not coming to the mortal world anymore is great, never having to see her again." Nan Yuesheng said while peeling an orange, "Seeing her is annoying. Even after divorcing Mohan, she’s always had ulterior motives..."
Xu Mohan interrupted, frowning, "It’s been said it’s not true. Don’t accuse her of things."
"How can I not see it?! You’re a man, of course, you can’t see a woman’s intentions." Nan Yuesheng continued, "I actually believe the rumors about her, there’s no smoke without fire, always casually contacting Mohan. Fortunately, Mohan promised never to see her again."
Gu Lili glanced at Long Yubei, who understood imdiately, "Yuesheng, she did save third brother twice, after all. Divorce doesn’t an they can’t be friends."
"Aside from childhood friends, is there really such a thing as pure friendship between n and won..."
"Why not?" Gu Lili finally responded, "There are tis when it exists."
"Sister Lili, take you, Antonio, Gu Xichen, and the Ninth Prince, for example. Which of them doesn’t have ulterior motives towards you? I don’t think there are absolutely pure opposite-sex friends in the world."
"Even if there are, Beibei isn’t so uptight anymore because he trusts enough. He understands my intentions."
"Isn’t it because he now has Divine Mother Jun Li as his fiancée... I don’t think it’s trusting enough, but rather caring less about you."
