Chapter 16

  Liu Guang was startled, a little dazed for a moment.

  He really didn’t understand how this capricious and unpredictable Second Highness could be so persistent. Was it really worth it to spend so much effort on someone who he could not get?

  But at this moment, he no longer had the time to care about other people’s hypocrisy. With a little effort, he broke away from Tan You’s hand and said seriously: “If Second Highness insists on having your own way, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

  More and more rocks fell from the sky.

  Liu Guang’s black hair was billowing in the wind, making his face look even paler.

  Just as Tan You said, this was his territory, even if Second Highness had incredible skill, he was definitely no match for him here.

  But Tan You was unmoved. Instead, he turned his head and looked at him, replying aggrievedly: “Ruthless? Haven’t you been treating me ruthlessly enough since I met you?”

  Liu Guang was suffocated.

  Tan You then continued: “I won’t leave anyway. Wherever you are, I must be there.”

  As he spoke, the ground beneath his feet continued to shake.

  A few stones even fell down so close they were almost grazing Tan You’s cheek, bringing a sense of danger.

  Liu Guang finally couldn’t bear it any longer, sighed softly, and said, “You aren’t sincere in your treatment of me, so why do you do this?”

  ”That’s right, before, I tried my best to get close to you just to play with you. Do you still remember what you said that night? I wanted to prove to you that there was nothing in this world that I couldn’t get.” Tan You nodded and admitted openly, smiling, “But…”

  Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, he rushed over and caught Liu Guang, pushing him to the ground.

  ”Boom!”

  The thundering roar was deafening.

  In the place where they were just standing, a crack appeared at some point, and below was an abyss with no bottom.

  Liu Guang closed his eyes and rested his back on the rough ground. His eyes were blood red, but strangely, his hands and feet were numb and his body didn’t feel any pain at all.

  After a while, he realized that it was not his own blood.

  Tan You was still hugging Liu Guang tightly, his forehead was slightly bruised. The injury was not serious, but blood was dripping down and the wound looked quite frightening.

  However, he did not pay attention to it. He simply wiped blood from his forehead and said with a relaxed smile: “It’s a pity that I can’t use magic here, I almost couldn’t protect you.”

  There was a red blur in front of Liu Guang’s eyes. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and reach out to press Tan You’s wound. He thought he knew the Second Highness very well, but now he was a little confused.

  Does this person also get hurt for others?

  Truly incredible.

  Tan You immediately grabbed Liu Guang’s hand and with a bright look in his eyes, he continued what he had just finished saying: “I was really hypocritical in the past, but now I am sincere.”

  After a pause, he lowered his head and kissed Liu Guang’s fingers, and said softly: “Since you have the ability to make my heart move for you and I did fall for you, what does it matter?”

  The corners of his mouth were slightly curved and there was a consistent smile on his face, without a trace of true emotion, making it difficult to tell whether his words were true or false.

  Liu Guang was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that his demeanor and tone were very strange. Suddenly, as if he wanted to understand what was going on, he blurted out: “You don’t understand what love is at all!”

  ”Yes, you are the first person who made me feel it.” Tan You smiled nonchalantly, pulled Liu Guang up from the ground, and said, “I can start learning from now on, it shouldn’t be too late, right?”

  ”…” Liu Guang could not say anything, but his eyes widened in astonishment.

  Tan You raised her hand to touch his face, completely ignoring the injury on her forehead, and asked in a low voice: “Liu Guang, give me a chance, okay?”

  Liu Guang said nothing.

  The illusion he was in was about to collapse and there was a scoundrel who refused to leave his side, but he just thought it was ridiculous.

  No wonder Tan You was so interested in destroying his devotion. It turned out that he had no idea what it felt like to fall in love with someone. He thought that the human heart was like a plaything. After it died once, it could soon accommodate another person.

  And what about Liu Guang?

  Liu Guang actually lost his love towards Bai Qimeng because of a game played by the capricious Second Highness.

  Yes, it was so laughable.

  Liu Guang’s shoulders were trembling slightly and he could not stop himself from laughing until his voice was almost hoarse. Then, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.

  He gave up on Bai Qimeng, but how could he also give up on himself?

  If you don’t even love yourself, how can you expect others to love you?

  There were landslides all around.

  Liu Guang was a little dizzy, almost unsteady on his feet, but his fingertips felt cold, having never felt this calm before.

  No matter how hard he worked, he would always be just a plaything in the eyes of others.

  In this case, why wait for others to save him?

  The world was so big, the only one who could save him… was himself.

  Liu Guang took a deep breath and slowly raised his head to look at Tan You.

  Tan You immediately smiled at him, voice filled with endless gentleness: “Liu Guang, Bai Qimeng is not worthy of you at all, you deserve better.”

  ”That’s right.” Liu Guang nodded this time, with no sadness or joy on his face, and responded calmly, “Unfortunately, that person is definitely not you.”

  After finishing his words, he clapped his hand forward and pushed Tan You directly into the abyss.

  Tan You was caught off guard, with a rare look of surprise on his face, but then he burst into laughter. His body kept falling downwards and he could see Liu Guang standing there from a distance, with a vague expression on his face, so cold, yet so gentle, which made people’s hearts flutter.

  Unbeknown even to himself, he laughed even more wildly and shouted: “Liu Guang, this is what I like most about you.”

  Then the boundless darkness pressed up and the whole person was sucked into a deep whirlpool.

  When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the corridor of Illusory Island.

  The pearl was still spinning on the ground, shining brightly without any damage.

  Liu Guang fell to the side with his body covered in water, lowering his head and coughing because of the yin energy.

          Tan You was overjoyed and rushed up to pat him on the back, smiling and saying, “Liu Guang, I knew you would definitely come out.”

  Liu Guang glanced at him and responded coldly: “Your Highness, aren’t you afraid of being trapped inside?”

  ”What should I be afraid of? You’re always so soft-hearted.”

  Liu Guang was taken aback for a moment, and replied, his voice was still cold: “In any case, Second Highness risks too much.”

  ”Maybe,” Tan You said with a smile, his dark eyes as deep as water, “but I have never lost a bet.”
