Zhou Huaiyi's matter was nothing more than an unpleasant interlude for Yang Chen. He didn't take it to heart, as there was no possibility of him going soft on those who betrayed him. However, Zhou Huaiyi's affair reminded him of his not-so-beautiful memories with Hua Wanru.
It was precisely the recollection of Hua Wanru that motivated him to crave even more strength.
The stronger his power, the more Yang Chen could understand the gap between him and Hua Wanru. Indeed, Hua Wanru of his previous life was a genius, and not only was she outstandingly talented, but her wisdom was also unparalleled.
Moreover, with his personal cultivation, Hua Wanru's Martial Arts Cultivation far exceeded that of her peers, and her strength was not something that could be understood at the level of the Great Wild Hundred Clans.
As for himself, there was an enormous gulf between him and Hua Wanru.
