"This matter, if I say no, then it's a no!" The speaker was Qin Shi, but the tone and pitch were unlike anything Dong Yu had ever heard from her. The usually gentle Qin Shi seemed very angry.

"Shishi, you have been arguing with me all the way, is it really worth it?" Luo Ning's voice came through, loaded with resentment, "Didn't you see how Luo Ying looked when he found us? He is my younger brother, your future brother-in-law, yet he was bullied like this. Can you tolerate it?"

"There must be a reason for this. Yu and I are closer than real sisters. I know her. She may not particularly like Luo Ying, but she would never hurt him!" Qin Shi spoke rapidly, arguing her point.

"Enough, you don't need to explain for her. I've already made up my mind about this." Luo Ning spoke in a deep voice, "If we find Yu and she hasn't mixed up with that lowlife from an inferior world, then the fault is mine! I will personally apologize to her!"

Qin Shi argued, "Even if she is with that man, what about it? Does that prove that she really harmed Luo Ying? The wounds on Luo Ying's body shows that they are clearly from a battle against the beasts in this small world!"

"A small monkey in the Primordial Infant stage can harm my brother like that?" Luo Ning seemed to pause, his voice filled with agitation, "Even if Dong Yu did nothing, she must have said some harsh words to Luo Ying, or why would he be so stimulated? Shishi, she may be your best friend, but that's no excuse to abandon reason..."

"Reason? Okay, then tell me, how is it that Yu is without reason?" Qin Shi countered, "Do Yu and Luo Ying have an engagement?"

"No engagement, but everyone knows that they..."

"No engagement, no responsibility. Besides, I don't believe that Yu would take a fancy to a poor boy from an inferior world. Even if she does, it's her business. How does that become a betrayal of Luo Ying when you bring it up?" Qin Shi protested.

"Shishi, you're being too heartless, aren't you? Do you know why Luo Ying entered this small world?" Luo Ning's tone became a little stern.

"Of course, Luo Ying came here to pursue Yu. However, if Yu really likes someone else, it simply means that she was destined meet Luo Ying, but not to be with him." Qin Shi continued, "Also, what did Luo Ying do before stepping into this small world? His attack almost killed that boy. Even though Yu is arrogant and cold, she is kind at heart. Luo Ying already crossed the line by doing that in front of her..."

"I don't care. No matter who it is, if they harm my brother, I will not let them go." Luo Ning coldly retorted, "I didn't want to say it, but since there's no one else here, let me tell you straight. Dong Yu, although she is favored in the Dong family, she is nothing more than… a bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Yu's body trembled slightly, her mouth clenched tightly, and a shimmer filled her eyes.

"Hehe... Luo Ning, this is the first time I have heard you say such things, and I am quite astounded." Qin Shi laughed coldly.

Luo Ning became a bit anxious, "Isn't it just the two of us? Can't I speak my mind?"

"Sure, why not? Turns out, the heir to the Luo family who I have always admired is a man who cares about status. Bastard... hehe, I just don't know what kind of attitude the Luo family will have when this bastard becomes the empress? I also wonder if the Dong family will be begging to make her legitimate ..."

"Empress... you say it like it's easy. There are plenty of brilliant people in this world, but how many can actually become an emperor?" Luo Ning said cynically.

"Anyhow, I disagree with your treatment towards Dong Yu." About ten miles away from the illusion formation that Dong Yu had set up, Qin Shi stood there, her eyes cold as she faced Luo Ning, "If you stubbornly continue down this path, then..."

"Then what?" Luo Ning took a deep breath, looking at Qin Shi.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shi looked up, her beautiful face filled with resolve, "If you really decide to target Dong Yu, then we... are over! I won't even marry you with the engagement contract in place. I will never marry a man who is against my best friend!"

Inside the illusion formation, Dong Yu's body was trembling slightly, and tears fell drop by drop from her eyes.

Luo Ning's face turned pale, then flushed, he looked at Qin Shi, "So in your eyes, I am inferior to your best friend?"

"That's not it." Qin Shi's face showed a painful expression, "If Yu wanted to attack you unreasonably, I wouldn't agree to that either!"

"Unreasonable attack..." Luo Ning sneered, "You are still deceiving yourself, insisting that I am attacking her unreasonably. Shishi, let me tell you this, I won't deliberately target Dong Yu, but if... this incident is indeed related to her, what will you say then?"

Qin Shi shook her head, "You are more willing to believe in Luo Ying, who is filled with rage and has lost his sanity, than you are to believe in me. In the end, the most likely cause is that your brother saw Dong Yu with that man from an inferior world and was consumed by jealousy, losing his sanity..."

"Enough!" Luo Ning's face twisted as he yelled, "If it were you or me in this situation, would you be indifferent? If you weren't consumed by anger, would you go and offer your blessings?"

At that, Dong Yu could no longer hold back. She walked out of the illusion formation and within a few breaths, she was standing before Luo Ning and Qin Shi.

"Ah, Yu... you, how come you're here?" Seeing Dong Yu, Qin Shi was clearly surprised. However, when she saw the expression on Dong Yu's face, she immediately realized that Dong Yu must have heard everything she had just argued with Luo Ning about.

Luo Ning, on the other hand, didn't seem surprised at all that Dong Yu was there. Seeing Dong Yu with her tear-streaked face, Luo Ning coldly said: "You're just in time, Dong Yu. I want to ask you what exactly happened between you and my brother? Why is he so badly injured? And where... is that lowlife from the inferior world? He must be around here too, right?"

Dong Yu looked at Luo Ning and said indifferently, "What could have happened between your brother and me? He disrespected me, treating me as if I were his possession. There is no relationship left between us. As for why he was so badly injured... you should ask him. There are dangers everywhere in this small world, and anyone can encounter them."

"Fine, anyone can encounter danger. Dong Yu, I understand now. You've fallen in love with someone else, haven't you?" Luo Ning's eyes were cold as ice, "Well, this may be good for my brother, at least he won't discover after marriage that you are a fickle woman!"

"Luo Ning!" Qin Shi was immediately angry, "Can you talk like a human?"

Dong Yu's face turned pale in an instant, "Who did you say... is... fickle?"

Luo Ning looked at Dong Yu and emphasized every word, "I'm saying it on behalf of my brother, as a present to you!"
