As soon as I break this seal, I will remember who I truly am and what my identity is. Why did I come to Heartless Valley? Chen Moxuan looks forward to the day he uncovers the truth, and he believes that day is not far off! Since he has noticed this seal, he is certain he can dispel it.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupts his thoughts.
"Chen Zi, are you feeling better?" a woman's voice calls out.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Moxuan opens the door to find a maid standing there.
"Chen Zi, the young lady has asked me to bring you to dinner. She also mentioned that her earlier methods might have been a bit excessive, but that was not her intention. She hopes you won't hold it against her!"
Though he has an idea of who the young lady might be, Chen Moxuan still asks, "Which young lady are you referring to?"
"Of course, it's Miss Wu Shanshan! She's the only young lady in the entire Ruthless Mansion!" The maid seems a bit proud as she speaks. Being Wu Shanshan's personal maid gives her a different status within the household.
"I understand. Please tell Miss Wu Shanshan that I have returned to normal and that the Heartless Talisman no longer affects me. I appreciate her affection and admiration, but feelings cannot be forced! Besides, she has only seen me twice and doesn't truly know me. Rushing into a relationship would be irresponsible for both her and me."
With that, Chen Moxuan turns and walks away, leaving the maid stunned in silence.
In her mind, it was a blessing for Chen Moxuan to be favored by Wu Shanshan. However, she fails to realize who Chen Moxuan really is; he certainly does not need such "blessings." The disparity in their perspectives stems from their differing statuses.
Some people spend their entire lives striving for Rome, while others are born into it—perhaps even within the royal palace!
Though Chen Moxuan doesn't know where the main gate of Ruthless Mansion is located, it doesn't matter. He quickly finds his way there in his own manner.
He strides forward toward the gate. At this moment, the maid finally comes to her senses and realizes something is amiss. She immediately rushes to Wu Shanshan's quarters.
"Miss! Something's wrong! Miss!"
Wu Shanshan looked at the panicked maid who rushed in and frowned.
"What’s wrong? Didn’t I ask you to invite Chen Zi for dinner? Why are you so flustered?"
"I went to invite Chen Zi, but he refused to come," the maid replied, taking a deep breath. "He said he appreciates your invitation, but he won’t come. He mentioned that feelings cannot be forced and that you only met him twice, so you don’t really know him! He said to be more cautious about emotions!"
At that moment, Wu Shanshan felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
"How can this be? Didn’t he fall under the Heartless Talisman? How could he still be so clear-headed? I can’t believe this is what Chen Zi would say!"
Although Wu Shanshan said this, deep down she already understood that the maid was telling the truth. She just didn’t want to accept it.
Chen Zi had completely shaken off the influence of the Heartless Talisman!
How could he treat her like this? She had genuinely cared for him!
"No, I need to talk to him face to face! I want to know what it is about me that he doesn’t like!"
After saying this, Wu Shanshan headed towards Chen Moxuan’s residence.
The maid immediately blocked her path. "Chen Zi left after saying all that; I don’t know if he’s out of Ruthless Mansion yet!"
"Why didn’t you stop him from leaving?" Wu Shanshan snapped angrily before rushing towards the entrance of Ruthless Mansion.
Unfortunately, when she reached the door, she could only see Chen Moxuan’s retreating figure.
"Chen Moxuan! Stop right there! I have something to say to you!" she shouted.
But hearing her voice, Chen Moxuan only quickened his pace and soon disappeared from sight.
Seeing this scene, Wu Shanshan realized that Chen Moxuan truly did not want to see her.
With this thought, tears of grievance streamed down her cheeks.
Unbeknownst to her, hidden within the formation, another figure stood quietly watching Chen Moxuan leave—one who had arrived even earlier than Wu Shanshan.
This figure was Wu Yinuo.
She controlled the entire formation of the Heartless Talisman; as soon as Chen Moxuan left, she knew immediately. Unable to help herself, she had quietly come here to watch him depart.
She had considered stepping out to bid him farewell and say a few parting words. But in the end, she didn’t know how to face Chen Moxuan and chose not to emerge.
At the same time, watching Chen Moxuan leave brought her a slight sense of relief.
After all, if Chen Moxuan stayed and married Wu Shanshan, she really didn't know how she would feel about it. Originally, she had come to see what kind of person her sister's fiancé was. In the end, things turned out differently than expected.
Regardless of whether Chen Moxuan liked Wu Shanshan or would marry her, there was a sense of guilt in her heart. At that moment, she resented the Rules Spirit for treating her this way!
After some thought, Wu Yinuo decided to go out and comfort Wu Shanshan. She approached her sister and said, "Wu Shanshan, love cannot be forced. Since he has left, it means he is not your destined match. Try to let it go and don’t be so sad. I will help you find someone else who is excellent!"
"Why doesn’t he like me? Why didn’t you stop him?" Wu Shanshan looked at Wu Yinuo and finally couldn’t hold back her tears. She rushed into Wu Yinuo's embrace.
"It's okay; if you're feeling hurt inside, just cry it out. If it's really painful, you can transform this relationship into an Emotional Connection, and then you won’t feel so miserable!" Wu Yinuo gently patted Wu Shanshan's back, comforting her.
After crying for a while, Wu Shanshan's emotions finally calmed down a bit. "I need to work hard on my training; I want to become strong!"
Wu Shanshan thought to herself that perhaps Chen Moxuan didn’t like her because of her lack of strength.
"Alright, I will help you! But becoming strong requires enduring hardships; you need to think it through!"
"I've already thought it through!"
Looking at Wu Shanshan's determined eyes, Wu Yinuo wasn’t sure whether this change was good or bad.
Then, she took Wu Shanshan back to her residence and told her to rest well. If her decision hadn’t changed later on, she should come find her. She would tell Wu Shanshan how to become stronger!
Afterward, Wu Yinuo called Cui Po Po over. "Wu Shanshan's emotions are likely to be unstable these days; please keep an eye on her."
