Ok, now I'm curious what that shitty snake actually told Tian to make him this shaken up? Did he reveal something horrific that had happened to Mo in the past? Is he frustrated because he can't actually protect him from it? Is that why he's this upset? And where is that dirty snake now? So many questions..

hello, anon!!

im still on the screaming stage of a new chapter release, so these are just my first thoughts on it, which may change when i actually calm down and think more about it, but as of now i personally don’t think she li told he tian anything more than what we saw in the previous chapter. i know the transition between the two chapter being so harsh may make it look like something more happened behind the scenes, but old xian often uses this method to move the action to another moment and leave us readers to fill in the gaps, which can be frustrating sometimes, but considering 19 days strip size, it’s also an understandable choice

so yeah, i feel like she li didn’t reveal anything else, but what he said was more than enough to put he tian in a bad mood and make him upset. we have to keep in mind that he tian actually knows very little about guan shan’s relatonship with she li, even less than us readers, all he knows is that she li offered guan shan to take the blame for something he didn’t actually do, omitting exactly what that something was - which not only could have caused guan shan to be expelled, but also have him respond to sexual assault charges - and that he tried to hurt guan shan, possibly in more than one occasion. all this in itself would be more than enough to piss off he tian, and we did see him getting very angry about it, but even after he tian beat him up and threatened to do even worse if he kept going, she li is still showing no intention in giving up bothering guan shan, and not only that, he actually went off his way to make he tian know he enjoys seeing guan shan being hurt

so on one side, you have she li literally playing on he tian’s biggest fears, which are losing the ones he loves and not being able to protect them (see his mom, see the dog he saved), and on the other, you have he tian himself not being fully aware of all the details in guan shan’s relationship with she li, such as guan shan ‘owing’ she li, which makes it even harder for him to do what he desperately wants to i.e. protecting guan shan by any means necessary, because he knows guan shan doesn’t ask for help easily, so he probably would not appreciate he tian acting on his own on a matter that runs deeper than what he tian first thought

you actually said it perfectly yourself, anon, he tian is upset because of what she li told him, but also and especially because he is frustrated at the fact that right now he is not able to protect guan shan from it

as for where she li is now.. who knows. im still not sure what he tried to achieve by going to say those things to he tian, but he probably has something in mind and momentarily retreated in some dark corner waiting for the right moment to strike again (im definitely not worried about it, nope, not at all, im totally calm [shakes in unknown fear])
