“Miss Gu, you don’t know how cruel that Holy Doctor is! A powerful cultivator had taken a fancy to my precious daughter and the Holy Doctor was eager to use this to his advantage. He found my daughter and tried to persuade her to become this cultivator’s concubine. My daughter was a proud woman so how could she agree to become someone’s concubine? She had declared that she would only be his primary wife and would never be a concubine! If the cultivator was willing to marry her, she would agree to it. After all, that cultivator was very influential and his powers were rather formidable. Any woman would dream of becoming the wife of a cultivator like him.”
“However, that cultivator already has a strong and solid primary wife and he was only willing to take in a concubine. Hence, my daughter refused him and offended the Holy Doctor! The Holy Doctor is the type of person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievances. In retaliation, he had destroyed the entire Mo family and killed my daughter’s mother and younger brother. Finally, he forced my daughter off a cliff, where she died tragically.”
Gu Ruoyun clenched her fists as a white-hot rage burned from within her being.
Gu Ruoyun really wanted to laugh so of course, she did.
Mo Shangfei frowned. Initially, he had wanted to mention the relationship between the Holy Doctor and his cousin to Xia Ming but he could not seem to bring himself to do so. He did not know why he felt this way.
“Master Xia, there’s something here that I don’t understand,” Gu Ruoyun narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled, “Since the Holy Doctor Bai Zhongtian is the kind of person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievances, why had he spared the Xia family? Xia Ruoyun’s surname was Xia after all so naturally, the Xia family would hold a deeper bond for her. However, why had Bai Zhongtian let the Xia family off the hook and destroyed her maternal grandfather’s family instead? This simply doesn’t seem logical.”
Xia Ming’s expression changed twice. Previously, he had dug out an excuse to frame Bai Zhongtian so he had not thought through it thoroughly.
“Miss Gu,” Xia Ming steadied the turmoil in his heart and smiled, “The Holy Doctor Bai Zhongtian has always been a strange man. How should I know why he had spared the Xia family? After all, I’m not him and I don’t understand how he thinks either. Perhaps if you meet the Holy Doctor Bai Zhongtian in the future, you would understand.”
Mo Shangfei, who had been paying attention to this conversation from the beginning, unconsciously stared at Xia Ming and fell silent.
If Gu Ruoyun had not brought up this point, perhaps Mo Shangfei would never have thought of it no matter how hard he tried…
