Chapter 488: Guess
Translator: Lonelytree
I shrugged. âOf course, itâs not that easy. But saying things requires no effort.â I smiled slyly. I was happy to see Ma Jiâs expression turn ugly.
Ma Ji asked, âArenât you curious who I am? Why did I capture you, and what do I need from you?â
I laughed indifferently. âWhatâs the point of asking that? You wonât let me go either way. Plus, I am never one to do things others want me to do. Since you want me to ask you, then I shall never do that.â
Ma Ji sneered. âNo wonder people say that youâre both good and evil. Youâre not a good person.â
I raised my eyebrows. âReally? Do you actually have such a high opinion of me? This is really shocking, but Iâm quite flattered.â
Ma Ji rolled her eyes at me. âSuch shamelessness.â
I laughed. âMa Ji, youâve spent enough time with me to know that was a form of praise to me.â
Ma Ji let out a light breath, adjusted her emotions, and shut her mouth.
I laughed. âSince we have nothing to do, why donât I make some guesses? You should be the main reason why my uncle is able to survive for so long. Your big sister cast the blood curse, but even you canât remove it. However, you are able to extend his life and alleviate his pain. Thatâs why he kept you by his side. Youâve spent your entire life treating his poison. Youâve even used Yan Yu as your vessel, yes?â
Ma Ji didnât answer.
I shrugged. âThereâs no need to confirm or deny it. After all, it is quite obvious. You used my blood to cure Jing Tian. Have you tried this method with Yan Yuâs blood before? No, wait, you would have used your own blood to try this first.
âThe antidote is love. You love Tong Hui, so theoretically, it should work, but it didnât. So you tried to use Yan Yu. You were both anxious and hopeful. If it worked, then it meant the man loved Yan Yu more than he loved you. So that means you two are love rivals. It is why youâve treated Tong Yan so badly even though you two are technically from the same camp.â
Ma Jiâs face darkened.
I thought for a while. âSo... Both you and Yan Yu love my eldest uncle deeply. However, neither of your blood can save him. Why?â
Ma Ji turned her head away.
I chuckled. âYou were lucky because you had the chance to experiment on Jing Tian and me. However, it worked! So, I am now a precious vessel for you. You want to use my blood to save my eldest uncle, right?â
Ma Ji pursed her lips tightly. âNanxing, youâre really smart.â
I shook my head. âNot really. It only requires a little logical thinking. So, now can you tell me if Jing Tian is fully cured?â
Ma Ji nodded. âYou have guessed almost everything but one. Yan Yu is a vessel? Who do you think she is? Do you think she is qualified to be my vessel?â
I nodded. She was jealous. Yan Yu was quite unfortunate.
âJing Tian is really cured, but I gave him another poison to forget everything about you.â Ma Ji looked at me provokingly. âIâm doing this for his own good. Iâm taking you with me no matter what. Once he forgets about you, he wonât be in pain, and he wonât think about coming to save you. Itâll save me a lot of trouble.â
I couldnât help but nod. âThat makes sense. I canât argue with that. It seems that I should thank you!â
âOf course..â She nodded shamelessly.
