Fang Zhou held onto a slim hope that Xiao Yan wouldn't recognize him.

It had been nearly three years since they last met, and Fang Zhou had always been extremely cautious in front of her, never revealing his appearance.

Unless Han Li had disclosed his name to her, but judging by Han Li's expression, it seemed she hadn't done so.

Xiao Yan gazed intensely at Fang Zhou, waiting for his response.

Fang Zhou had no choice but to brace himself and say, "I have my reasons for not showing my face."

Xiao Yan looked at him for a moment, then suddenly turned to Han Li and asked, "Sister, what's brother-in-law's name?"

Han Li opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond. Fang Zhou had always instructed her not to tell anyone, but Xiao Yan wasn't an outsider.

Fang Zhou felt his scalp tingle; he was about to crash like an old-timer losing control.

He hurriedly stood up and turned to walk out of the tent: "You chat, I just remembered something. I'll head out first."

Xiao Yan shouted loudly at Fang Zhou's retreating figure, "Surname Fang, how long are you going to hide?"

Fang Zhou instinctively paused, while Han Li shivered all over, looking at her sister in surprise.

How could Xiao Yan know Fang Zhou's surname when she hadn't said it?

And judging by their expressions, could it be they knew each other before?

The entire tent fell silent, the atmosphere turning eerie.

Fang Zhou suddenly sighed; Xiao Yan was right, how long could he hide? This problem had to be resolved sooner or later.

No time like the present; he might as well solve all the issues now.

With this thought, Fang Zhou slowly turned around, looked at Xiao Yan, and raised his hand to remove his hood.

Xiao Yan watched Fang Zhou closely.

She wasn't entirely sure that this man was her ex-fiancé who abandoned her, she was merely testing.

Having overheard Han Li blurt out the name Fang Zhou, Xiao Yan's suspicion grew, especially since Han Li never shared brother-in-law's name or allowed her to see his appearance.

They weren't outsiders, yet if one side was evasive about revealing their name and appearance, it was definitely suspicious.

So Xiao Yan gave it a shot, and even if she was wrong, at most she would apologize.

But Fang Zhou's actions seemed to confirm her suspicions.

Han Li was also watching Fang Zhou, suddenly feeling a strong urge to stop him from removing the hood.

She had a premonition that there was definitely some story between Fang Zhou and Xiao Yan.

The only one Xiao Yan would be so concerned about was the fiancé who abandoned her to join the Xuanji Sect.

Could Fang Zhou really be Xiao Yan's fiancé?

It was too unbelievable; Han Li couldn't dare trust it, nor did she want to believe it.

While Han Li was lost in thought, Fang Zhou had removed his hood, revealing his true face.

Xiao Yan looked at Fang Zhou's face, suddenly trembling all over, almost grinding her teeth as she shouted his name, "Fang! Zhou!!"

Fang Zhou wore a bitter smile, "Long time no see."

Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with anger, suddenly lunging at Fang Zhou to strike him.

"Stop!"

Han Li snapped out of her shock and quickly stepped between them, blocking Xiao Yan.

"Sister, move!"

Xiao Yan shouted at Han Li.

"Let's talk this out!"

Yet Han Li wouldn't budge; no matter what, she couldn't let them fight.

Xiao Yan tried to bypass Han Li unsuccessfully, only to angrily say, "Sister, this guy is the fiancé who betrayed me, he must have also deceived you with sweet words, and you still want to stop me?"

Han Li felt like she'd been struck by lightning; the last thing she wanted to happen had happened.

The man she liked was actually her sister's ex-fiancé with whom she had a huge grudge; why did such a heartbreaking situation land on her?

Fang Zhou hadn't expected Xiao Yan's emotions to be so intense after recognizing him.

He hesitated, "Can I say something?"

But Xiao Yan reacted violently, "Shut up!"

Han Li finally regained her composure and said to Xiao Yan, "I trust Fang Zhou's character. He would never abandon you for profit. There must be some misunderstanding between you two."

Han Li knew Fang Zhou's situation well; he was not only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, a leading figure in the Cultivation World, but also had the fourth largest organization under him, and was associated closely with Taobao Mall and the Heavenly Sword Sect. Precious Exotic Species True Fire was his to give.

Such a man would never abandon his fiancée for Xuanji Sect's meager offerings. It was impossible.

Therefore, Han Li was sure there was some misunderstanding between Fang Zhou and Xiao Yan.

Unfortunately, as a third party, Han Li could think rationally, but Xiao Yan, being directly involved, couldn't.

Back then, Fang Zhou had arrogantly come to the Xiao Family with a group from the Xuanji Sect to break off the engagement, causing tremendous humiliation to her and her mother, turning the Xiao Family into a local joke.

Such a deep grudge made rational thinking impossible for her.

So Han Li's seemingly neutral words only inflamed Xiao Yan, "Sister, even now, you still believe his lies?"

Han Li shook her head, her gaze firm, "I only believe what I see. Until the misunderstanding is cleared, I can't let you hurt him."

Xiao Yan's eyes reddened, gritting her teeth, "What if I have to fight?"

Han Li felt extremely troubled but insisted, "Then you'll have to get past me first."

Oh, silly sister, I'm stopping you for your own good.

Your brother-in-law is in the Golden Core Realm; you can't possibly beat him. If you fight, only you'll get beaten.

Unfortunately, Han Li couldn't say this to Xiao Yan outright and could only persist in preventing their fight.

If they started fighting, resolving the misunderstanding would be troublesome.

Sadly, Xiao Yan was burning with anger and couldn't accept Han Li's goodwill.

Seeing her once close-knit sister standing against her for a man, Xiao Yan was nearly enraged.

Her chest heaving, veins popped on her forehead, her dark eyes almost filled with fire.

Our years of sisterhood, facing life and death together, supporting each other, weren't they worth more than a mere man?

Not helping was one thing, but siding with an outsider to bully me?

The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the angrier she got, until she was about to cry out of grievance.

"Fine, if you insist on fighting me, then I'll tie you up first and then deal with him."

Xiao Yan nearly cried as she shouted this and then lunged at Han Li.

Fang Zhou was completely bewildered, not expecting things to unfold so unexpectedly.

Seeing the sisterly duo about to start fighting, Fang Zhou hurried to stop them, "Wait!"

But Han Li suddenly pressed a hand against his chest, pushing him back, "You stay out of this, leave it to me."

No matter what, Han Li couldn't watch Fang Zhou and Xiao Yan fight; otherwise, resolving the misunderstanding would be hard.

She decided to let Xiao Yan vent her anger on her first, then persuade her once she calmed down.
