"Yes, Wang Xinyan. She was the boss's classmate and deskmate in university. It was confirmed through Yao Yao and the others. She is currently living in the boss's villa as well—in the same room as the boss, they say..." Kang Xiaofeng spoke truthfully. He did not want to hurt Tang Zhi, but when he thought of the Grand Elder's instructions, he had no choice.
"Ah... so they are already... living together..." Upon hearing this news, a look of desolation flitted across Tang Zhi's face. He had found someone new to love? In the end, she was not his first woman after all.
Yet in the next instant Tang Zhi let it go. It was fortunate that she was not—otherwise, how could Wei Zhao ever be saved? If she had gotten involved with Wei Zhao early on, could she still have stayed here to train? Would Snow Valley still have agreed to heal Wei Zhao on those terms? Plainly not!
Though Tang Zhi did not know who Wang Xinyan was, nor how Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan had met, since both Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu approved of her, her character must surely be beyond reproach.
"This... was Xiaoxiao's idea back then, wasn't it? I believe she mentioned it to you as well?" Seeing that Tang Zhi seemed a little troubled, Kang Xiaofeng hurried to console her.
"Yes, I know. It's all right. Wei Zhao and I were fated to meet but never to be together, and we can never meet again. So long as he lives happily, that is enough." Tang Zhi smiled as she spoke.
"Yun Yun, it's good that you understand all this. Since you have chosen this place, then devote yourself to your training here with all your heart." Liu Xinlan also offered words of comfort.
"I understand. Don't worry about me. I am not an impulsive, irrational person. I am no longer the little girl who understood nothing, haha..." Thinking back to the old days, when she had been so afraid that Wei Zhao would not want her that she had smashed her phone on the ground, Tang Zhi felt that she had been truly naive back then...
The Grand Elder, hearing Kang Xiaofeng's and Liu Xinlan's words from afar, was very pleased, and Tang Zhi's reply put her even more at ease. It seemed that Tang Zhi would now be able to stay here and train in peace, with no further worry that anything unexpected might occur.
"Yun Yun, why does it feel so cold on you? Is this the consequence of practicing the Heartless Art?" At this moment, Xiaofen no longer felt the delight she had felt at their first meeting. Now that she had quieted down, she noticed that although Tang Zhi was most warm toward their arrival, her body nonetheless gave off an unnatural chill that made people reluctant to draw near, as though she were a great block of ice.
"Yes, Xiaofen, you noticed?" Tang Zhi smiled somewhat helplessly. "This is simply how the Heartless Art is. So once I have trained it to the utmost, even if Wei Zhao remembers me, he will not want to be with me anymore. My body carries an unnatural aura that keeps people a thousand miles away and makes them unwilling to come close."
"So that's how it is..." Liu Xinlan looked at Tang Zhi with sympathy. She did not understand why Tang Zhi had to make such a great sacrifice for Wei Zhao. Was the power of love truly so great?
