As a strong contender among the younger generation, her destiny was starkly different from Huo Yan's. He was a legitimate prodigy of the Fire Tribe, whereas she was just a lucky woman among the masses who had become part of the tribe due to her talent. Thus, she didn't possess the same power as Huo Yan.
At this moment, Jin Qiongyu was filled with indignation and, beyond that, an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
Chen Pingping is different, she thought. He can't die here; he can't become an enemy of the Fire Tribe. He absolutely mustn't!
Jin Qiongyu took a deep breath, her gaze complicated, reflecting a deep disappointment towards Huo Yan.
From the shadows, seeing her protect the Human Clan cultivator so fiercely, Huo Yan's anger boiled over. He turned and left, never seeing the disappointment in Jin Qiongyu's eyes. Perhaps, from the moment he made that decision, it was destined that they would each walk different paths.
「Back at the mansion.」
