Haven't seen you in a few days, how did you get so much worse

At the entrance of Jiang Group.

"Jiang Zixuan, how dare you show your face to Sister Xueqi?"

"Let me tell you, Sister Xueqi is very disappointed in you. Get lost!"

An arrogant figure blocked Jiang Zixuan, whose half face was festering.

This figure was tall and straight, with a crew cut that made him look very sharp. His muscular body and contemptuous gaze were directed at Jiang Zixuan, who stood before him with an unwilling expression.

Behind him, several followers mocked:

"Heh, what Tiger Marshal? He's just a paper tiger with no teeth."

"Jiang Zixuan, I advise you to stop showing your face in front of our Hound Commander's Sister Xueqi."

"That's right, since you couldn't protect Sister Xueqi, Brother Tianlin will protect her!"

"Heh, with your face all messed up like that, Jiang Zixuan, you'd better not see Sister Xueqi, or you'll frighten her."

The stream of sarcastic mockery reached Jiang Zixuan's ears.

His eyes burned with anger as he clenched his fists tightly.

The left side of his face had become festering and grotesque due to Qin Luo's previous slap.

Although it had improved somewhat now, he was still inevitably disfigured.

Of course, more than the disfigurement, what hurt him more was the slap Jiang Xueqi had given him back then.

That slap felt like it had shattered his heart.

But!

After all, she was the sister he had watched grow up, so Jiang Zixuan decided to forgive Jiang Xueqi and meet with her to discuss having her watch his spectacular fight in the International Warrior Corps selection tournament.

However...

What Jiang Zixuan hadn't expected was...

He looked at the muscular man before him and said coldly: "Jiang Tianlin, step aside for your Marshal."

As soon as the words fell.

Slap!

"Ugh—!"

Jiang Tianlin stepped forward and slapped Jiang Zixuan's face, sneering: "Your Marshal?"

"Jiang Zixuan! Do you still think you're the Tiger Marshal?"

"The divine doctor has examined your body - the toxin has spread from your face to your dantian."

"Not only that, but your warrior's spirit is broken, your cultivation has plummeted, and it's unclear whether you can even continue participating in the International Warrior Corps selection tournament."

"Heh, still calling yourself Tiger Marshal?"

"Don't make people laugh, Jiang Zixuan. When the International Warrior Corps selection tournament ends, that'll be the day your title changes from Tiger Marshal to Insect Commander!!"

Jiang Zixuan covered his face, his eyes burning with anger, but he held back despite clenching his fists tightly.

He couldn't believe that Jiang Tianlin, who was after all his cousin, would... would humiliate him like this?

Moreover, while he was suffering such humiliation here, why wasn't Sister Xueqi coming out?

Seeming to read Jiang Zixuan's doubts, Jiang Tianlin mocked: "Waiting for Sister Xueqi to come?"

"Let me tell you, don't even think about it. The divine doctor's disciple Wang Yong couldn't even guard the door properly before."

"That's why Sister Xueqi found me, your Commander, to guard the door."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I've already gotten Sister Xueqi to come watch my match, and she's invited the divine doctor to be a judge."

"Heh, Jiang Zixuan, you can never win Sister Xueqi's heart again."

"After all... you actually let that poisonous woman Su Muwan cause such humiliation to Sister Xueqi!"

"You deserve death a thousand times over!"

Jiang Xueqi had four brothers in the Jiang family.

Among them, Jiang Zixuan was the Tiger Marshal of the Tiger Hunter Squad, while Jiang Tianlin was the Hound Commander of the Dog Hunter Squad.

In the past, Jiang Tianlin would never have been a match for Jiang Zixuan.

But now...

The successive blows had damaged Jiang Zixuan's mental state, causing his cultivation to plummet, which finally allowed Jiang Tianlin, who had always been suppressed, to stand here and humiliate Jiang Zixuan.

Of course.

Jiang Tianlin's humiliation was hardly important.

What mattered was...

Jiang Zixuan clenched his fists and looked up at the corporate building with a bitter expression.

In the reflective glass, there seemed to be a graceful figure standing there.

Sister Xueqi... are you really... so heartless?

Jiang Zixuan looked at that blurry figure as tears gradually welled up.

He had given everything for Jiang Xueqi. Since childhood, Jiang Xueqi had said she would marry him.

But he knew it was impossible, so he had always protected her like a sister.

He had sworn to protect the best Sister Xueqi in the world.

But... but why... just because he failed to protect her once.

Why would Jiang Xueqi treat him like this?

On the top floor of Jiang Group.

Watching Jiang Zixuan being humiliated and bullied, Jiang Xueqi's eyes also began to tear up.

Brother Zixuan, don't blame Sister Xueqi.

Sister Xueqi is doing this for your own good.

Because only by letting you know how painful it was when I was humiliated by that poisonous woman Su Muwan.

Only then can you understand my pain, only then can you understand my suffering!!

Thinking this, Jiang Xueqi wiped away her tears. She felt that Brother Zixuan must now understand how much pain she had felt inside.

So she smiled again and turned to walk downstairs.

Brother Zixuan, Sister Xueqi has thought it over and decided to trust you one more time, to forgive you for not protecting Sister Xueqi last time.

At the entrance, Jiang Zixuan was questioning his existence.

Meanwhile, Jiang Tianlin received a message from his subordinate saying that Jiang Xueqi was coming down.

His brow immediately furrowed, and he swung his fist at the still-dazed Jiang Zixuan, shouting: "Trash! Get lost already!"

Boom!

Bang!

Jiang Zixuan was instantly knocked to the ground by this powerful punch.

"Cough!"

He lay on the ground, coughing up blood.

Looking at the blue sky with a bewildered expression.

Sister Xueqi, do you really... not even want to look at me anymore?

"As expected of Brother Tianlin! One punch knocked this Insect Commander to the ground!"

"Hehe, your Commander has always said, among the four commanders, only I have the highest talent! Come! Let's go see Sister Xueqi!"

"Yes, Brother!"

Jiang Tianlin and his group stopped paying attention to Jiang Zixuan and turned to leave.

Hearing the abuse and contempt in his ears.

The light in Jiang Zixuan's eyes gradually dispersed.

Why.

Is this really the end of my life?

Jiang Xueqi was no longer the Jiang Xueqi of before, and Jiang Tianlin and the other cousins had finally shown their true colors after his cultivation had plummeted.

Is this really how my life ends...

The next moment.

A light chuckle came from beside Jiang Zixuan's ear: "Heh."

"Isn't this the Tiger Marshal?"

"How come in just a few days... you've become so pathetic."

As this all-too-familiar voice appeared.

Jiang Zixuan's previously hopeless and bewildered face suddenly jolted.

He looked up.

And saw.

At some point.

That person who had humiliated him before, who had insulted Sister Xueqi... Su Muwan's follower... Qin Luo!

Was now standing beside him with a smiling expression!

He gave a bitter, desolate laugh: "So it's you."
