CHAPTER 478: 478: DON’T POACH MY PEOPLE

The powerful punch was fierce!

A single strike! After that...

Mo Zixuan’s bones felt numb!

He was astonished, not expecting that Li Yan possessed the strength of a tiger.

Making it difficult for him to resist...

No wonder he’s called the Student King! His reputation is well-deserved.

Mo Zixuan couldn’t help but recall his fellow trainees from his days learning Ancient Martial Arts.

Even they...

Probably few can have such a fierce and powerful punch.

The intense vibration spread through Mo Zixuan’s entire hand, even his fingertips felt tingly.

"Impressive!"

Mo Zixuan expressed his admiration with a compliment; he truly underestimated this Devil King.

"Likewise!"

The Devil King Li Yan, seasoned in battles, understood his opponent’s strength.

This move from Mo Zixuan was merely probing.

And so was Li Yan’s punch!

They were both testing the waters with each other!

However...

Just this exchange was enough for them to gauge each other’s true strength.

They were formidable opponents not to be underestimated.

None could afford a moment’s carelessness.

Li Yan rarely encountered such opponents, he dared to declare―――

Even Lan Siming, the class two professor with slightly weaker solo combat skills, couldn’t defeat Mo Zixuan.

Moreover, Mo Zixuan’s true strength was enough to rival Lan Siming! Perhaps even surpass him...

Li Yan had never praised anyone’s combat ability like this before!

He was almost admiring him.

"To only serve as a steward is a real waste of talent!"

Li Yan’s lips curled into a slight smile, unintentionally uttering this remark.

Mo Zixuan pursed his lips, remaining silent.

But behind him, Gong Chenli was already furious, saying, "If you want to fight, then fight! Don’t steal my people!"

My people...

Mo Zixuan paused slightly, his heart skipped a beat.

His betrayal...

He had let Xinyuan’s guests escape with his own hands, it was a fact...

Even so, does the sir still consider him one of his own...?

Isn’t he the one who despises betrayal the most...?

Why...

Mo Zixuan’s mind was in turmoil, thoughts racing through his head.

Memories of being with the sir filled his mind.

Li Yan watched everything but said nothing.

Because it all stemmed from understanding Gong Chenli too well!

This man, like a venomous snake, wouldn’t let a weakness go unexploited.

He would seize the chance to attack, leaving no room for escape.

Mo Zixuan’s affection for Gong Chenli was his fatal weakness.

Emotions a spy should not have possessed.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn’t help but pity the lady for choosing Mo Zixuan as a spy, indeed finding a talent!

Had he not encountered this old fox Gong Chenli, he might have remained loyal.

"Bring it on!"

Mo Zixuan’s silence didn’t last long; everything turned into a furious deadly move.

He launched an all-out attack against Li Yan!

All blame was heaped onto Li Yan.

He kept thinking, if only Li Yan didn’t exist!

Would he still face such a difficult choice?

Would he have become a traitor?

Everything would go according to the original plan...

The sir wouldn’t betray the lady...

Everything would go as planned, as desired, with him as the final hero.

Mo Zixuan’s thoughts were complex but not without reason.

The fact was indeed so!

If Li Yan hadn’t appeared, Gong Chenli would never have teamed up with the military.

Li Yan was the breakthrough for everything...

However, even so!

Mo Zixuan still missed the essence of the issue. The critical point.

Which was, Gong Chenli’s heart had already changed, had changed!

As for who triggered the event, it was no longer crucial.
