"How petty," many people whispered.
"Master, it's just a Broken Clay Figure. Why not just throw it away?" Du Yujie said with disappointment, having expected something valuable but finding it to be worthless.
However, when Lou Yijing saw the clay figure, her expression clearly changed for a moment, but soon her face turned cold again.
"Just throw it away..." Lou Yijing said lightly.
"Sister, you don't remember this clay figure, do you? This was a gift from you to me on my birthday when we were kids," Liu Liangmei said with a smile.
"Who remembers things from childhood? It's just a clay figure. Our bond has long since faded; why keep something so trivial?" Lou Yijing replied indifferently. After all, one cannot be completely heartless. Lou Yijing and Liu Liangmei had been very close as children; they were innocent and carefree. But as they grew up, people's hearts changed—calmness and tolerance were replaced by jealousy and resentment. Especially since Lou Yijing believed she had greater talent than her senior sister, yet their master always favored Liu Liangmei. Over time, this distorted her psyche and led to their eventual rift.
Seeing Liu Liangmei take out the clay figure touched a deep part of Lou Yijing's heart, but now it was too late for her to turn back. Even if Liu Liangmei tried to play the emotional card, she would not accept it.
"You are right. By returning this clay figure to you today, I am declaring that our bond is completely over now, Lou Yijing," Liu Liangmei said with a faint smile, emphasizing Lou Yijing's name and no longer calling her sister.
"That's fine, Liu Liangmei," Lou Yijing replied, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly as she also called out Liu Liangmei's name.
The atmosphere instantly froze like ice.
Liu Liangmei and Lou Yijing faced off against each other while those around them held their breath in anticipation.
"Alright, I have accepted your gift. I don't wish to see you again; you may leave now," Lou Yijing ordered.
Tonight, she did not want to fight; her attire was not suitable for confrontation.
Liu Liangmei's outfit was also inappropriate for a scuffle; wearing an evening gown made it difficult to maintain decorum while fighting. Moreover, she was not Lou Yijing's match. Since she had invited Jiang Chen to help, there was no need for her to act personally.
Though Lou Yijing was exceptionally talented and had superior martial arts skills compared to Liu Liangmei, in front of Jiang Chen, she would likely have no chance of retaliating at all.
The trip to Xiangxi had left Liu Liangmei thoroughly impressed by Jiang Chen; even in Xiangxi, what he had shown was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Liu Liangmei dared not even contemplate Jiang Chen's true strength because it was beyond her imagination.
"Lou Yijing, there's no need for you to rush me away. I will leave when I'm ready. You go ahead with your business; once you're done, we can sit down and have a proper talk. There are some accounts we need to settle and some things that don't belong to you that you should return," Liu Liangmei said.
"Liu Liangmei, don’t be ungrateful; you should know your place. You are not my opponent," Lou Yijing said darkly, already sensing that Liu Liangmei had come with ill intentions.
"I certainly know my place. This time I'm not alone; let me introduce someone to you—this is Mr. Jiang," Liu Liangmei said with a smile as she introduced Jiang Chen.
Only then did Lou Yijing look at Jiang Chen. After just one glance, she lost interest and sneered dismissively: "Heh, Liu Liangmei, even if you're bringing someone along, shouldn't you choose someone more reliable? Why bring a young man here? Are you trying to embarrass yourself?"
