Lu Yi saw Shen Heyu in distress. He reached out a hand, ready to support her, but it was unfeelingly shoved away by Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu's force in pushing away Lu Yi's hand was not strong, but to Lu Yi, it felt as if he had been slapped across the face, leaving a burning pain. He foolishly stared at his own outstretched hand, hanging mid-air, and eventually, heartbroken, he let out a soft chuckle.
When Shen Heyu looked up and saw Lu Yi laughing to himself, she slowly stood up straight, her eyes were extra cautious as she watched the person before her, her voice cold without a trace of warmth.
"I hope you won't bother Yuexue anymore. Since you used Yuexue's lifesaving medicine to strike a deal with me, repeatedly forcing me to do things I didn't want to do, you have ceased to be Yuexue's uncle."
Shen Heyu watched Lu Yi cautiously. Hearing her voice, Lu Yi silently withdrew his hand. He lifted his head, eyes betraying an emotion of heartache that he could not hide.
