Clutching her tiny fists tightly, Chu Rui murmured resolutely, "No, no matter what, I can't lose such a good friend. I will use every means available to obtain their forgiveness."

Meanwhile, Xin Yun and the other two returned to their seats. Just as they settled down, Po Kong approached with guilt, "I'm sorry, I apologize on behalf of Chu Rui. I hope you can forgive her."

"Huh?" Hearing Po Kong's words, Xin Yun was momentarily stunned. Having lived for so long, through a past life and this one, this was the first time he had heard... no, the first time he had known of Po Kong admitting a mistake, and moreover, apologizing on behalf of someone else!

While shocked, Po Kong sincerely said, "That girl didn't mean any harm; it wasn't intentional. She is young after all and lacks self-control. You should be able to tell that she is lonely and truly fond of you all, so... please, no matter what, don't hold it against her."

Staring at Po Kong as he spoke earnestly, Xin Yun was astonished, and Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying were even more puzzled. After a long pause, Yi Luo Xiang carefully asked, "Why... why are you apologizing for her? Did you know her from before? Or is she your relative?"

"Ah!" Po Kong was taken aback by Yi Luo Xiang's question, then his face turned red with embarrassment and he shrank back without saying another word. In his concern for the young girl, it only now dawned on him that he had no standing to be there.

In the midst of this awkwardness, Chu Rui walked out from the waiting room, her head hanging low with guilt, her little red mouth pursed, head nearly touching her chest. As she walked, clear, sparkling teardrops fell one by one.

Seeing this, Po Kong stood up abruptly, but soon sat back down again. Judging by his clenched fists, this fellow was clearly distressed.

With a sigh of resignation, Xin Yun finally witnessed the so-called iron man's tender feelings. It was truly lethal; such people rarely fall in love. Many would never feel affection for any woman in their lifetimes, although they might seek women to vent their physical needs. To them, women are tools, nothing more than instruments for their release.

However, when such a person does fall in love, it is monumental. Kingdoms can be forsaken, positions abandoned. The saying 'I would give up a kingdom for a beauty' is no falsehood. Throughout history... there have been numerous overlords who left the world behind for the sake of a beauty.

Watching Chu Rui approach, Xin Yun couldn't help but smile wryly. To be frank... Po Kong was quite unlucky. If his affection lay with an ordinary girl, with his status and position, a single word would suffice for him to revel in her beautiful and delicate body that very night, and even capture emotional, perhaps even romantic, affection with ease.

But Chu Rui was different. Like Yi Luo Xiang, she was from the Soul System, and second only to Yi Luo Xiang in intelligence. Although not far behind, compared to others, she remained unattainable. To make a woman like her feel affection, let alone love, was so difficult Xin Yun could find no words to describe it.

The biggest issue with a person of supreme intelligence is their extreme rationality. With their capabilities and intelligence, they could easily see through everything. Simply put... such people are like computers, analyzing everything thoroughly. It's not that they lack emotions, but that their feelings are buried so deep it's nearly impossible to uncover them.

Taking Yi Luo Xiang as an example, in her previous life she was peerlessly beautiful and highly sought after. Yet, until the end, no one could stir even a hint of interest in her.

Money? Status? Glory? Power? Such things are incapable of attracting them. With their wisdom and capability, securing these is not difficult, even easily revealing their true nature.

Essentially, whether it's money, status, or power, these seemingly attractive things are actually filthy. Can dirty enticements really attract anyone?

Of course, for those who have not seen through them, these methods are absolutely effective, but for people like Yi Luo Xiang and Chu Rui, who possess infinite wisdom and extraordinary abilities, to pursue them with money, power, or status would only backfire and make them look upon you with even more disdain and revulsion.

As for using sincerity, I'm sorry... Too many people truly love them, like them, yearn for them, and there are countless who are willing to die for them. Why should they marry you? Why should they strip naked for your amusement? Why should they bear your children, take care of your household? What right do you have!

If it were men, they often have strong desires, but women are naturally less driven by desire, and the wise always handle their desires appropriately, even cutting them off, therefore... such women are almost impossible to move.

The relationship between Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang, that was actually a specific thing completed under specific circumstances, at a specific time, with specific conditions. It could be said... that Xin Yun managed to gain Yi Luo Xiang's love by a stroke of luck from the heavens.

When Xin Yun encountered Yi Luo Xiang, it was during a great calamity that had befallen the village, and she was alone and helpless. At that time... Xin Yun gave a lot, but even so, it wasn't enough, and it only earned Yi Luo Xiang's gratitude but not her love.

The real turning point was when Yi Luo Xiang was being preyed upon by a vampire, and Xin Yun boldly appeared to rescue her. It was this action that planted the seed of love. You see... that was the first time Yi Luo Xiang realized her frailty and the first time she longed for the support of strong arms, and just then, Xin Yun appeared.

In the following period, to sustain Yi Luo Xiang's life, Xin Yun gave almost all the food to her, but even so, Yi Luo Xiang grew weaker and weaker, her consciousness and will gradually scattering. That period was the most vulnerable and weakest time in her life.

For Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun even went as far as to cut his wrists and let his own blood sustain her life, literally risking his own. Especially towards the end, when just bleeding himself was not enough, he even used his own body to shield Yi Luo Xiang from the midday sun. He was so close to death.

During Yi Luo Xiang's weakest time, before her wisdom had transformed, Xin Yun imprinted himself in her heart in such a way, it was almost like cheating. Afterwards... Yi Luo Xiang successfully overcame the difficult times and became an unparalleled sage, by then, all of this had become her core, unshakable and incomparable.

Wisdom has many uses, but the greatest is being able to read extensively and remember everything at a glance. Even after so long, as soon as Yi Luo Xiang thinks about it, she feels as though she has returned to those days. Every detail from that time surfaces in her mind.

In theory, the current Yi Luo Xiang would be unlikely to fall in love with anyone, but Xin Yun appeared in the most crucial, most fitting moment before she became what she is now, and truly moved her. That was the only chance, and Xin Yun seized it successfully.

And now, Po Kong has set his sights on a girl naturally as clever as her. Although the difficulty is much lower compared to Yi Luo Xiang, the possibility is still very slim. To be certain, Po Kong has bitten off more than he can chew.

In fact, it's not just Po Kong, it's the same for anyone. Even if Xin Yun now aimed to win Chu Rui's love, that would be virtually impossible. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Xin Yun already has a girlfriend is the biggest barrier, leaving no room for any delusion.

Indeed, a woman in love, no matter how clever, can become foolish, Xin Yun acknowledges this. But the current problem is, how can one make such a clever woman fall in love?

Fortunately, Xin Yun doesn't need to worry about this, because he has no intention of pursuing Chu Rui at all. Not to say that Chu Rui isn't quite different from Yi Luo and Yan Qingying, but as it stands, Xin Yun is already troubled enough by Yan Qingying without spare energy to care for another.

Chu Rui is Po Kong's Chu Rui; Po Kong is the one who is most suitable for Chu Rui, and Chu Rui is the most suitable choice for Po Kong. As for Xin Yun, Chu Rui is more fitting to be a little sister, one that allows him to express his affection, an exceedingly adorable little sister. (To be continued...
