Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

Shangguan Zhi has always known that Yan Wenmo is very important in Su Nian's heart, but in this situation, he seems to feel that he has underestimated the importance of Yan Wenmo in Su Nian's heart.

Not to mention that they hold hands and play together every day, chattering about things, not to mention that they get together to see the scenery and gossip, not to mention that they can understand each other's needs with just a glance.

Jiang Wenbai alone had come to him several times because they took up too much of his wife's time.

What can he do?! Su Nian didn't listen to her again, and Yan Wenmo didn't bother to pay attention to him. He was indeed a failure as a senior brother, but fortunately, he still had his nemesis Ouyang Xian to accompany him.

Ouyang Xian was very resentful, but when he saw Zhuque's warning eyes, his resentment disappeared instantly. As for Zhao Wenlong, he seemed to think that it was good that Xie Xiaofeng was happy every day, so he didn't care at all.

He even looked at Shangguan Zhi and the others, who were filled with hatred and resentment, with a surprised expression, wondering why they looked so resentful.

How could he not feel resentful?! He finally got to hang out with his wife, but she was only thinking about hanging out with her sisters and ignored him. In the end, Ouyang Xian simply let Xuanyuan Jing go back with him under the pretext that the Hidden World Clan had something to do, while Su Nian was taken away by Shangguan Zhi, who was almost jealous.

Su Nian wanted to resist, but she was powerless. She argued with Shangguan Zhi for a long time, but ended up being physically suppressed by him.

After all, jealous men tend to be hot-blooded, so it's expected that they would do something out of line.

At the end of the matter, Su Nian's attitude towards Shangguan Zhi changed. She was too lazy to pay attention to him, which scared Shangguan Zhi so much that he coaxed her to apologize and knelt on the washboard, and only then was he reluctantly forgiven.

According to the thinking of most men, a woman who finds an excellent, loyal and strong husband will definitely love him to death. But Su Nian is not like that. She just lets Shangguan Zhi keep pestering her and doesn't show any sign of being moved.

Shangguan Zhi didn't understand her behavior, but Yan Wenmo knew a thing or two, because Su Nian didn't actually trust him, or men in general.

But this cannot be blamed on Su Nian. There are a lot of gossips in their small sect. If there is an outstanding genius, he will naturally be sought after by many people. It would be fine if this person keeps himself clean, but he is afraid that he is not clean. In this case, more women will naturally be hurt.

Su Nian had seen women suffering for men, so naturally she had no illusions about men. Therefore, regarding Shangguan Zhi's pursuit, she just felt...that was all. There was nothing to say. It was just a momentary impulse, and after a long time, she would naturally get tired of him.

Shangguan Zhi was very depressed about this. Seeing him depressed, Jiang Wenbai couldn't help but comfort him. Shangguan Zhi looked at him and couldn't help but sigh:

"You have finally come to the end of your suffering, but unfortunately for me, I still have to continue."

In response to his senior brother's ridicule, Jiang Wenbai was silent for a moment, and then said:

"There aren't many ties between you and Su Nian. To put it nicely, she is a friend in need. To put it bluntly, she and you don't have much in common."

After saying that, he looked at Shangguan Zhi's unhappy face and couldn't help but remind him:

"Shisan and I have been together for ten years and have a foundation of love. We have been together in the Demon Lord's place and are friends in need. She almost lost her life for me, and I gave up everything for her. We were mutually devoted. She disappeared for ten years, and I waited for her for ten years. I was infatuated with her, but between you and Su Nian, apart from helping her to do her bidding, there was nothing else."

Shangguan Zhi looked at Jiang Wenbai unconvinced, and before he could speak, he heard Jiang Wenbai add:

"Third Senior Brother and Junior Sister Xuanyuan seem to be the most stable couple, but they have also faced many things together. Junior Sister once saved him from danger, and he also resisted the effects of aphrodisiacs in order not to hurt Junior Sister. This kind of friendship does not exist between you and Su Nian..."

Shangguan Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Wenbai. Jiang Wenbai patted his shoulder and said meaningfully:

"Even Second Senior Brother has defended Xie Xiaofeng many times in the war with the Demon Lord. Even when the righteous people pointed fingers at her, he stood in front of her and blocked all the gossip. Not to mention that when they were in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the two of them had faced the occasional sneak attacks from the Demon Lord's men together. The friendship between them is much deeper than that between you and Su Nian."

So, in the end, it was he and Su Nian who had the least ties, the least experiences, and even the least hardships.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Zhi looked at Jiang Wenbai with a complicated expression and couldn't help asking:

"Back then, you went to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect alone and took the risk. Weren't you afraid?"

Jiang Wenbai chuckled and said to himself:

"Of course I am afraid, but compared to being afraid, I don't want to lose her. She may not be good enough in the eyes of others, for example, she is too soft-hearted, not strong enough, or not hateful enough, but that is her, that is her character, so I don't mind, I don't care, as long as it is her, as long as she stays by my side."

Jiang Wenbai spoke frankly, Shangguan Zhi listened in silence. He patted Jiang Wenbai on the shoulder and finally said:

"She is actually quite nice, kind yet graceful. She doesn't rely on her strength to bully the weak, and she doesn't quibble over trivial matters. We can all see that with her abilities, she doesn't need to give us face, but she still did. I guess it's her kindness, not us, that makes her afraid."

Jiang Wenbai smiled at this, and said with some helplessness and disappointment:

"It's not kindness, it's just that she's too lazy to care. She doesn't want to waste time on trivial matters. Not only is it troublesome and a waste of time and energy, but it also makes her look stingy."

So, it's not that she has no temper, but she feels that there is no need to vent some of her temper. This statement surprised Shangguan Zhi and made Jiang Wenbai smile bitterly.

In fact, think about it, how could a young lady raised by a wealthy family, the wife to be married by a son of a wealthy family, be so delicate and soft that she can be bullied? She just thinks that being fussy about small things seems petty, but when it comes to big things, she will not give up an inch of interest.

After all, Shangguan Zhi and Su Nian have too little experience, but if you think about it carefully, the two of them have actually had a lot of experience. It’s just that at every turning point, Shangguan Zhi would stand on the opposite side of Su Nian for various reasons.

Whether it was how they handled the situation when Yan Wenmo was captured, or their attitude when Qianyang Sect was besieged, or the help they provided when Yan Wenmo needed it, there was a world of difference.

But Shangguan Zhi had no choice. His identity made it impossible for him to stand in the same camp with Yan Wenmo, or damage the interests of Haotian Sect for her benefit. This led to a huge gap between him and Su Nian.

It is because of the existence of this gap that his emotional line cannot be advanced, and it is even a blessing that it has not been broken.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Zhi sighed and said:

"Junior brother, I am different from you. I cannot be willful, and it is even more impossible for me to be willful because of..."

He didn't finish, but it was obvious that he knew that there were some things he did that were not right, but his identity forced him to make this choice, and it was not his original intention.

Therefore, Jiang Wenbai patted him on the shoulder and said concisely:

"We know that once you are in the arena, you have no choice."
