"Remember your promise. If Sun Yuzhi and I fight and she starts losing, don't you get soft-hearted and take her side."
Lady Lan could practically see it happening.
'Knowing Sun Yuzhi's fiery and fierce temper, the humiliation of waiting outside the door all night would surely transform into a blazing inferno of rage directed at me. A confrontation is likely inevitable.'
'She wasn't afraid of a fight. Her late-stage Profound Mastery Cultivation and the profound experience she'd gained from leading her sect for many years gave her the confidence to overpower Sun Yuzhi. What she feared was Chen Sheng taking sides when the time came. If that happened, even if she won the duel, she would still have lost in Chen Sheng's heart—and in this new relationship built on mutual benefit and desire.'
"Don't worry."
Chen Sheng nodded again, not particularly worried.
