Gu Feifei quietly observed everyone's expressions, her fist hidden in her sleeve clenched tightly as she endured the anger welling up inside.
But while she could hold it in, Gu Yiping couldn't.
Suddenly, he slammed his chopsticks down on the table, stared at Li Jiuge, and said, "You guys are going too far! My sister kindly cooked for you to apologize, but look at your attitudes. Where's your courtesy?"
Seeing her brother stand up for her, Gu Feifei immediately found her backbone. She stood up and stared coldly at Li Jiuge.
Gu An looked anxious at the sight. He quickly winked at Gu Yiping and his sister. They had just managed to ease the tension. How could they start arguing again?
Although Gu Yiping saw the wink, he wasn't going to keep silent any longer. He lashed out at Li Jiuge: "Especially you! Miss Ji hasn't even said a word, but you just keep going on and on!"
Li Jiuge had long disliked the siblings. Now she finally found an outlet for her anger: "I like it. What can you do about it? Do you really think a table of dishes can wipe away everything that happened before? You've got quite an imagination!"
Ji Yunyi also put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Now your sister is apologizing to us. Why do you make it seem like we're the ones who did something wrong?"
Receiving a signal from Ji Yunyi, Li Jiuge echoed him: "Some people really think they're so great, but in fact, they have no manners at all."
With Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge teaming up, Gu Feifei's face turned pale, and her expression was tinged with anger.
With a "pop," everyone was shocked. They followed the sound and saw Ji Yunxi put down her chopsticks. "Stop arguing," she said.
Everyone was intimidated by her imposing manner and stopped talking in unison.
Li Jiuge felt a bit annoyed. If Yunxi really wanted them to get along peacefully, wouldn't she be ruining things?
She glanced at Ji Yunxi guiltily and saw that her eyes were cold. Then Ji Yunxi turned to look at Gu Feifei: "Gu Feifei, I'll give you a chance. Tell us yourself."
Gu Yiping thought she was framing Gu Feifei and immediately wanted to speak up, but a single look from Ji Yunxi made him shrink back.
She said, "You think I'm being rude to your sister? Then ask your sister and you'll know."
"Ji Yunxi, don't spout nonsense. I don't know what you're talking about. You need evidence when you speak!" Gu Feifei's face turned white when she heard Ji Yunxi's question, but she still pretended to look confused.
Ji Yunxi stared at her calmly, tapping her fingers on the table, looking completely at ease: "Gu Feifei, I'll give you one more chance. Do you want to tell us yourself, or should I expose you?"
She still refused to admit it and turned her face away: "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Gu Yiping instinctively thought that Gu Feifei wouldn't do anything wrong. After all, he and Gu An were also at this meal. It couldn't be that she had planned to include them in her scheme, could it?
"Miss Ji, are you... mistaken?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu An gave him a fierce look: "Shut up!"
Seeing that Gu Feifei showed no sign of repentance, Ji Yunxi lowered her head to smooth out the wrinkles on her clothes: "Try using your spiritual power, and you'll understand everything."
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed. They tried to use their spiritual power but found they couldn't.
Ji Yunyi jumped up in a hurry and glared at Gu Feifei angrily: "What's going on? What did you do to everyone?"
Seeing that her scheme had been exposed, Gu Feifei slowly stood up. She shed her previous cowardice, and her eyes turned fierce.
"As you can see, I'm here to take revenge today. Ji Yunxi made me lose face, and I won't let her get away with it." As she spoke, Gu Feifei walked towards Ji Yunxi.
Although Gu An was extremely shocked, he immediately reached out his hand to block in front of Ji Yunxi.
Seeing this, Gu Feifei instantly flew into a rage: "Why? Why do you all help this bitch!"
Her emotions became extremely agitated. Gu An tried to calm her down: "Feifei, don't be impulsive. We can talk things over."
"Talk things over? Hahaha, there's nothing to talk about. I'm going to teach her a good lesson today!"
Li Jiuge stood up and spat: "Bah, you only know how to use such underhanded tactics. If you have the guts, fight me fairly!"
Gu Feifei stared at Li Jiuge for a moment, ignored her, and then turned to look at Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunyi secretly pulled on Li Jiuge's sleeve from behind. Li Jiuge shook him off and continued to shout at Gu Feifei: "Gu Feifei, you know your spiritual power is no match for Yunxi, so you use such despicable methods. Is this what you call revenge?"
Unable to hold Li Jiuge back, Ji Yunyi was so anxious that he grabbed his head. He was on the verge of a breakdown. They couldn't use their spiritual power now. They were like fish on a chopping board, but Li Jiuge still dared to provoke her?
"Feifei, stop making trouble!" Gu An tried to stop her, but instead, he was trapped in place by her.
Everyone's expressions turned surprised. Gu Feifei had also eaten the food. How could she still have spiritual power?
Gu Feifei curled her lips: "Curious about my spiritual power? It's because I took the antidote in advance. Of course, I'm fine."
The most shocked was Gu Yiping. In his heart, Gu Feifei had always been his lovely sister, but he never expected her to do such a thing.
He stepped forward and reached out his hand: "Feifei, don't make another mistake! Hand over the antidote."
Gu Feifei looked at Gu Yiping, her eyes filled with a crazy calmness: "Brother, I'm not wrong."
Looking into her earnest eyes, Gu Yiping felt that she had gone crazy. His voice involuntarily took on a hint of anger: "Gu Feifei, how did you become like this? What on earth do you want to do?"
Gu Feifei laughed after hearing this: "What do I want to do? Take revenge! Brother, I'm your most beloved sister. Why do you help an outsider?!"
Gu Yiping thought Gu Feifei was being unreasonable: "I've always regarded you as my most beloved sister. I've tried my best to satisfy whatever you wanted. Even when you made mistakes, I just thought you were being playful, but I never expected your heart to become so vicious."
Gu Feifei didn't care: "Yes! I'm a vicious woman. You all side with her. Since you won't help me, I'll do it myself!"
After saying that, Gu Yiping was also trapped in place by her beam of light.
Spiritual power emerged from Gu Feifei's palm and gathered into a ball. The beam of light grew larger and larger and flew towards Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunyi was anxious, but he noticed that Li Jiuge seemed very calm. Then he suddenly remembered something and understood. He shook his head with a smile and didn't step forward.
Gu Feifei thought they were scared and mocked: "Ji Yunxi, look. They don't even want to help you!"
"Pop!" A crisp slap interrupted Gu Feifei's smugness. A red handprint quickly appeared on her face.
Covering half of her face, Gu Feifei stared at Ji Yunxi in shock.
"You're not affected?!"
