Seeing her admire Darryl so much only made the displeasure in Vincent's chest grow even more.He hurried to change the subject. "That's enough. Let's not talk about that."As he spoke, Vincent glanced around him. Then, upon making sure that no one could overhear the two of them, a smile appeared on his face as he said in a mysterious tone, "I've got some good news, Sister Gigi.""What good news?" Gigi perked up at the words.Vincent took a deep breath, walking closer to gaze deeply into Gigi's eyes. "I told my master about us before I made the trip to the North Sea Galaxy. He's given us his blessing to bring me to the Pure Yang Division in half a month to ask your master for your hand in marriage."Vincent was overwhelmed with emotion.He considered himself and Gigi as practically childhood lovers, and he had dreamt of marrying her many a night. Since his master had agreed to let him propose, he could hardly contain his joy.Hand in marriage?Gigi was startled by his words. "Wh

Sherman chuckled when he heard Vincent's answer and added, "Very well."Then, he took out a little jade vial and said secretively, "Senior Brother, you mentioned that Senior Sister Gigi drank quite a bit at the banquet earlier. Later, tell her that you're sending her some hangover soup and mix this into it."Once she takes a sip, she'll quickly become unconscious. Then, you can do whatever you want. Even if she wakes up and feels unwell, she'd think it was caused by drinking, so she wouldn't suspect you."After that, Sherman passed the jade vial to Vincent.'This…'Holding the jade vial, Vincent felt doubtful and furrowed his brows. "Is that a good idea?"Though he was always arrogant and domineering, he had a good conscience deep down.'Plus, Master has already approved the marriage and said that he'd propose the marriage at the Pure Yang Division on his own. If I fail to force myself on Sister Gigi tonight and if I get exposed, we'd never get together.'Seeing Vincent hesitat

"It's… It's not that I don't like you, but I just want to stay with Master for a few more years, and I don't intend to get married for the time being, so don't take this the wrong way. My rejection has nothing to do with Darryl. I hope you understand, Senior Brother."Gigi's voice became incredibly soft as she uttered the last two sentences. She mumbled, and her voice could not be heard. Her entire body also became stiff.Gigi felt bad for rejecting Vincent so directly after knowing him for many years. She thought she would take that chance to explain herself.However, the more Gigi explained, the more Vincent believed she had fallen in love with somebody else.Vincent did not express his feelings. Instead, he pretended to be understanding and comforted Gigi with a smile."Gigi, don't say that. I was too abrupt earlier. Plus, marriage is a big thing. I also think I should've discussed this with you first. It wasn't right to decide on my own and ask Master to propose the marriage."

"You are the head of the Elixir Sector, and you are doing this? Tsk, tsk... What a pity for the Pure Yang Division!"As he spoke, Vincent gave Sherman a nod of approval.'Junior Brother is so smart! Why haven't I thought of that? Even if someone comes later, Darryl will be unable to refute on his own as long as Junior Brother and I make the same statements.''I was the perpetrator, and now I've become a witness. How nice it is!''F*ck you!'Darryl's face immediately turned cold. He had never expected Vincent and Sherman to be so despicable as to bring suit against the victim.As Darryl thought, he said coldly to Vincent, "Stop your malicious slander. You know what happened."At that moment, sounds of footsteps came from outside. Then, Zacho and a few other elders rushed in. As the night was quiet, Darryl and the two apprentice brothers could be heard loudly as the people went to take a look.Sofia came running over when she heard the dispute.'This…'Everyone in the room was

After that, Sofia took the jade pendant and, per Zacho's instructions, lightly placed it on Gigi's Qingming Point.Everyone in the room looked at Gigi, waiting for her response.'Sh*t…'Vincent began to panic. 'When Gigi wakes up, I am not sure I will be able to shake their suspicions. After all, I was the one who suggested sending the hangover soup to Gigi.'Vincent became so nervous for a brief moment that he almost fell over.Sherman then walked forward slowly and lightly patted Vincent's shoulder. He muttered, "Do not worry, Senior Brother. We will be fine even if Senior Sister Gigi wakes up."Just wait for my cue."Sherman exuded confidence as he spoke.Vincent immediately felt relieved and calmed down. He was familiar with his junior brother. He would not sound confident if he were not certain."Hmm…" Gigi, who had been unconscious, let out a soft moan and awoke under the influence of the jade pendant's chill. Her body, however, remained frail.'Hmm?' Gigi shuddered w
