Gu Liangyuan arrived outside the gates of Limitless Peak and indeed saw countless disciples gathered around. In the center of the crowd, Mo Chen was shouting angrily at the mountain gate:

  "Long Chen, if you're a man, come out and fight me like one!"

  "What, are you afraid to come out?"

  Gu Liangyuan's face darkened, and he gave Mo Chen a flick on the forehead:

  "Afraid of what! He's in the late stage of Core Formation; he'd beat the courage out of you!"

  Mo Chen turned his head abruptly, ready to get angry, but upon seeing it was Gu Liangyuan, he immediately deflated:

  "Master, you're here."

  Seeing Gu Liangyuan's arrival, the disciples all greeted him in unison:

  "Greetings, Martial Uncle Ancestor."

  With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Liangyuan's powerful aura scattered the crowd:

  "Disperse, haven't you ever seen a simp?"

  The disciples, reminded of Gu Liangyuan's past simp behavior, suddenly realized.

  Ah, so being a simp is a rite of passage on Emotionless Peak!

  Once the onlookers dispersed, Gu Liangyuan used a probing technique on Mo Chen.

  Only then did he discover that after days of cultivation, Mo Chen's Devotion Value, which had barely dropped to 99, had returned to 100 thanks to Liu Shuang's antics.

  Alright, so that's how you want to play it!

  Looking at the still-angry Mo Chen, Gu Liangyuan felt a bit frustrated:

  "Don't you realize how foolish you look right now?"

  "Liu Shuang doesn't love you at all, can't you see that?"

  Mo Chen stiffened his neck, looking unconvinced:

  "Impossible, if Cousin Liu Shuang didn't love me, why would she come all this way to see me?"

  Gu Liangyuan flicked his forehead again:

  "Anyone with eyes can see she came to see Long Chen and just used you as an excuse to get into the sacred land!"

  "You're the only fool who can't see it!"

  Mo Chen fell silent, but Gu Liangyuan could see the defiance in his expression.

  "Not convinced, huh? I'll make you see reason today!"

  With that, Gu Liangyuan led Mo Chen straight into the gates of Limitless Peak.

  The mountain-guarding disciples, seeing it was Gu Liangyuan, naturally did not dare to stop them.

  After entering the gates, they hadn't walked far before they saw Long Chen, looking cold as ever, with Liu Shuang trying desperately to get close to him.

  Gu Liangyuan was not unfamiliar with Long Chen, having previously discovered his Golden Interface.

  Unfortunately, Long Chen had already taken Lv Qingmei as his master and was no simp.

  Gu Liangyuan casually used a probing technique on Liu Shuang, and after seeing her System Interface, his expression turned a bit strange.

  Her talent was average, but her Devotion Value had reached 100.

  Clearly, this Devotion Value was directed at Long Chen.

  Indeed, being a simp is a cycle of reincarnation!

  While Gu Liangyuan was investigating, Mo Chen, seeing the two standing so close, couldn't hold back and suddenly shouted:

  "Long Chen, let go of my cousin!"

  Mo Chen's shout startled not only Long Chen and Liu Shuang but also left Gu Liangyuan bewildered.

  No, which eye of yours saw Long Chen grabbing Liu Shuang? It's clearly Liu Shuang trying to get close to Long Chen!

  Liu Shuang looked at Mo Chen with undisguised disdain in her eyes:

  "Mo Chen, why are you yelling at Brother Long Chen?"

  Mo Chen took two steps forward, glanced warily at Long Chen, then forcibly separated the two, looking at Liu Shuang with a simpering expression:

  "Cousin, I'm just worried you'll be bullied."

  "Weren't you here to see me? I'm here now. Let me show you around the sacred land."

  Liu Shuang sidestepped Mo Chen and returned to Long Chen's side, trying to take his arm, but Long Chen dodged her.

  Liu Shuang's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly adjusted, giving Long Chen a bright smile before turning to scold Mo Chen:

  "Having Brother Long Chen with me is enough. You can go wherever you need to."

  "Sister Liu Shuang..."

  "Enough!"

  Mo Chen wanted to say more but was ruthlessly interrupted by Gu Liangyuan.

  Gu Liangyuan understood; this Liu Shuang was completely double standards, treating Long Chen and Mo Chen entirely differently.

  Like a little lamb.

  But fortunately, her disdain for Mo Chen was obvious and she wasn't stringing him along.

  If there's blame, it's on Mo Chen for not being ambitious.

  She's made it clear, yet you still shamelessly cling on!

  You may not care about face, but I do!

  As your master, you've embarrassed me completely!

  Long Chen, seeing Gu Liangyuan, quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Long Chen, greets Martial Uncle Ancestor."

  Liu Shuang, who had been focused on Long Chen, only noticed Gu Liangyuan after hearing the shout.

  Seeing Gu Liangyuan's jade-gold features and celestial demeanor made her Divine Soul waver.

  How could there be a man in this world more handsome than Brother Long Chen!

  Gu Liangyuan ignored Liu Shuang's gaze and waved Mo Chen over:

  "Mo Chen, come here."

  Mo Chen obediently came to Gu Liangyuan's side.

  Gu Liangyuan, pulling Mo Chen along, looked at Liu Shuang:

  "Liu Shuang, do you like him?"

  Hearing Gu Liangyuan call her, Liu Shuang snapped back to reality.

  Though there are many handsome men, my heart belongs only to Brother Long Chen!

  Hearing Gu Liangyuan's question, Liu Shuang gave a straightforward and affirmative answer:

  "I don't like him."

  Gu Liangyuan looked at Mo Chen: "Now do you see?"

  Mo Chen was anxious: "Cousin, how can you not like me?"

  "If you didn't like me, why would you come looking for me?"

  Liu Shuang, hearing this, gazed affectionately at Long Chen:

  "I came to find Brother Long Chen, using you as an excuse to enter the sacred land."

  Long Chen, hearing this, distanced himself further from Liu Shuang:

  "Sister Liu, please have some self-respect!"

  Just when Gu Liangyuan thought Mo Chen would be angry after getting his answer, Mo Chen simply said lightly:

  "Really, I don't believe it."

  Gu Liangyuan facepalmed, deceiving yourself, huh.

  Kid, you're invincible.

  Liu Shuang frowned, normally she would have been impatient with Mo Chen by now.

  But seeing Gu Liangyuan beside Mo Chen and thinking of the rumors about Emotionless Peak, she vaguely guessed Gu Liangyuan's intentions.

  So she patiently replied, "Then what will it take for you to believe?"

  "Unless you show proof that you don't love me."

  ??

  What kind of logic is that?

  You need proof to not love you?

  Liu Shuang furrowed her brows, and as her peripheral vision caught Long Chen, she suddenly leaned in and planted a fragrant kiss on Long Chen's cheek.

  Then she lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito:

  "The one I've always loved... is Brother Long Chen, do you believe me now?"

  Long Chen's brow furrowed sharply; he hadn't expected Liu Shuang's sudden move. Just as he was about to leave in a huff, he caught Gu Liangyuan's warning gaze and the faint pressure in the air, so he stopped himself.

  After warning Long Chen, Gu Liangyuan looked at the downcast Mo Chen, patting his shoulder:

  "Now, do you believe it?"

  "Listen to your master, cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness well, and once you're strong, everything will come to you."

  Mo Chen suddenly looked up, confusion in his eyes:

  "Master, when Cousin kissed Long Chen, why did I feel... a slight thrill?"

  Gu Liangyuan: !!!

  A strange fetish activated?

  Seeing Mo Chen's Devotion Value still at 100, Gu Liangyuan could only think:

  Kid, you really are invincible!
