Mo Canglan held Ling Yuxuan tightly, his eyes dark and cold as he looked at Mo Qingsnow. The reddish hue showed disappointment and sorrow; but above all, dark hatred simmered within.
He knew his sister had malicious thoughts, but he could never have imagined she could be this wicked, to the point of committing such an extreme action.
He should have never brought her back to the Medical Alliance, let alone repeatedly softened his heart towards her, harboring hope again and again.
Because of his softness, because he brought Mo Qingsnow back to the Medical Alliance, in the end, he not only harmed his own wife but also countless disciples of the alliance, exposing it to such a devastating disaster.
"Don’t look at me with that kind of eyes!" Mo Qingsnow met Mo Canglan’s disappointed and sorrowful gaze, grabbed the bars of the prison cell tightly, and glared at Mo Canglan, "Mo Canglan, what right do you have to look at me like that!"
"It’s because of you that I became what I am today."
"It’s all because of you. If it weren’t for you losing me, I wouldn’t have had to wander, beg, curry favor with others, or go hungry meal after meal..."
Mo Qingsnow stopped there, unable to continue, for what followed in her past was too unbearable to mention to anyone.
Whenever she thought of that shameful and dark past, Mo Qingsnow wished she could simply lose her memory.
As flashes of those memories passed through her mind, Mo Qingsnow’s eyes reddened, and she stared directly at Mo Canglan, "It’s you! It’s all because of you! All my past misfortunes are because of you!"
"You know nothing. You don’t know at all what I went through."
"What right do you have? What right do you have to be disappointed in me?!"
Mo Qingsnow, caught in her agitated state, clutched the iron bars, shaking the prison door noisily.
"It was me, I’m the one to blame. If you want revenge, just take my life, but why did you harm Yuxuan? Why harm so many disciples of the Medical Alliance?" Mo Canglan’s eyes were red with anger as he bitingly reproached Mo Qingsnow.
Listening to Mo Canglan’s rebuke and seeing his furious demeanor, Mo Qingsnow suddenly calmed down, then sneered chillingly, "Why?"
"Why don’t you ask Ling Yuxuan what she has done? Do you know how many of my plans she has ruined?"
"And the Alliance Hierarch, what of it? Parading around with that lofty attitude all day, who is she performing for? Every time I went to beg her, not once did I not demean myself, yet she held herself so high, her word was the law!"
Mo Canglan’s voice turned cold, "By the merit of her being the Alliance Hierarch, the founder of the Medical Alliance, and her exceptional medical skills."
"Hmph, ’exceptional medical skills’?" Mo Qingsnow scoffed, "If her medical skills are so exceptional, then how come she couldn’t cure the poison I administered? In the end, didn’t she fall into my hands?"
"Once the Divine Grandmaster was poisoned, you dragged him for a whipping. How could she cure the poison?" Meng Qiyun couldn’t bear to hear her grandmaster’s medical skills slandered and immediately retorted, "If you dare, let her go and see if she can’t cure your poison!"
"Shut up! Worthless girl, it’s not your place to speak here." Mo Qingsnow’s gaze turned cold over Meng Qiyun, harshly scolding her.
Pah, like I want to talk to you.
Meng Qiyun inwardly spat in dismissal, but chose to ignore Mo Qingsnow, as she had no interest in dealing with this madwoman.
Mo Canglan no longer spoke to Mo Qingsnow, but instead lowered his gaze to Ling Yuxuan’s face and murmured softly, "I’m sorry."
Indeed, having her encounter him was a mistake.
Ling Yuxuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, yet her eyes remained closed.
