Fortunately, I was abroad at that time. If I had been in China, people would drown me with their criticism.
Back then, Ye Qian and Jing Ning were confident that Jing Tian and Old Master Jing had died. They were certain that I was at the end of my rope, so they spared no effort to bring me down. This was Ye Qianâs favorite method, so when she acted pity before me in the future, I felt only disgust.
Old Master Jingâs sudden appearance stunned everyone. He cleared up my name effortlessly.
We gathered the forces of Dragonâs Gate, Ardent Flame Alliance, and Qu Hao to save Jing Tian. How many people had died in the process? If I showed these wicked people more kindness, how would I face these members who died for Jing Tian?
As for Old Master Jing, he started to clean up the Jing Family once he returned to M City. I didnât need to ask to find out how Jing Ning was doing.
â¦
I exited Jing Tianâs room, fully exhausted. Images of the past were vivid in my mind. Every time, the resentment in my heart would get stronger.
I lifted my head and saw Ma Ji at the end of the corridor. I paused for a moment before walking toward her slowly.
Ma Ji was dressed in black. In the pale morning light, she looked like an enchantress from another world. I stood before her wordlessly.
Ma Ji looked at me. âI think I understand love better now.â
I smiled sadly, âWhy would you spend time trying to understand something so bitter?â
Ma Ji sighed, âTong Yan wants to see you.â
Tong Yan?
I raised my eyebrows. It took me a while to remember who she was. I had handed her over to Ma Ji because Ma Ji could use her. I followed Ma Ji to her room.
I was startled when I saw Tong Yan. There was a dark blue tattoo on her forehead. It made her look very strange. Ma Ji exited the room and closed the door.
I sat opposite Tong Yan.
Tong Yan sneered. âArenât you afraid that Iâll poison you?â
I shrugged, âI have Ma Ji. Itâs clear that you are not as powerful as her. Iâm afraid you canât do anything when sheâs around.â
Tong Yanâs expression was extremely unsightly.
I guessed correctly.
âMa Ji said that you wanted to see me. Iâm here.â I asked directly.
Tong Yanâs chest heaved up and down. She was trying to adjust her mood.
I waited for her.
âHave you really cured Jing Tian?â She asked me.
She felt indignant and muttered, âI didnât expect that forget-me-not could be cured. Then, why canât his poison be cured?â
I caught the message in her words. âWho? Who else is poisoned by forget-me-not?â
She didnât speak.
I stared at her. âWhere is he now?â
Tong Yan didnât speak. I had some clues.
âEven after so many years of researching this poison, you canât cure him?â
Tong Yan pursed her lips tightly. She was helpless.
I smiled. âDo you know why I succeeded, and you failed?â
Tong Yan didnât move, nor did she look at me.
âThe difference is love,â I told her softly.
Tong Yan finally looked at me.
âThe woman who poisoned him loved him deeply. She used her own blood and life to cast the curse on him. Thereâs no cure.â I said.
Disdain flashed in Tong Yanâs eyes.
I continued, âYou also used your own blood to poison Jing Tian, so you want to know how come Jing Tianâs poison can be cured but not his?â
Tong Yan averted her gaze.
I heaved a sigh. âI already told you the answer is love. It is a question of how deep the love is..â
