"Are you still going to try and argue?!"

Ye Qingcheng was filled with rage, and a terrifying aura emanated from her.

Her grip tightened, causing Ai Youwei even more pain, almost breaking her neck.

Ai Youwei's face flushed red.

Seeing that her master's aura was becoming more and more frightening, she burst into tears.

"Master, let me go... I'm dying."

"Waaaah... I'm Youwei, I'm your disciple, why are you doing this to me..."

Liu Ruyan was terrified, fearing that Ai Youwei would really be strangled to death. She quickly turned to Ye Qingcheng and said, "Master, let's talk this out. Put Youwei down first. If you do this, Third Junior Sister won't be able to speak."

"Master, please calm down. There may be another reason behind this. It's not too late to punish Third Junior Sister after we figure it out."

It was definitely not for Ai Youwei, but for myself.

Liu Ruyan sensed that her master's emotions were extremely unstable and was worried, so she treated her the same way she treated Ai Youwei.

Ye Qingcheng frowned and tossed Ai Youwei in front of her.

With a thud, Ai Youwei landed hard on her bottom, the fall causing her considerable pain.

Her face flushed red, and she coughed heavily.

After coughing, Ai Youwei started crying again.

"Master, you're bullying me too!"

After crying for a long time, Ai Youwei finally calmed down a bit.

After feeling wronged, she felt an unprecedented anger and said to Ye Qingcheng, "Master, are you sick? You almost strangled me to death just now."

Ye Qingcheng clenched her fist and said coldly, "Having come this far, you still dare to speak so arrogantly?"

Ye Qingcheng's appearance frightened Ai Youwei.

Thinking about the secret he had kept hidden for so long, and what Gu Jian had done, he was furious and shouted loudly.

“Master, I’m not being arrogant. The past life is the past life, and the present is the present. So what if I framed my senior brother in the past life? In this life, I haven’t done anything to wrong him.”

"If we're talking about things I should apologize for, it's my senior brother who's wronged me! It's my senior brother who's wronged me!"

"What did you say?"

Ye Qingcheng's eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard.

Ai Youwei said such a thing.

She was furious and yelled at Ai Youwei, "Ai Youwei, explain yourself! What do you mean Jian'er has wronged you?!"

Ai Youwei felt both wronged and angry.

She could no longer bear what was on her mind and spoke it out loud.

"Three years ago, my adoptive parents were murdered!"

"I've been investigating this matter for years, and I recently found out that they were all killed by the senior brother!"

"The eldest brother personally killed his disciple's adoptive parents."

"Don't even mention it, this disciple hasn't done anything to his senior brother yet, and even if he did, so what?"

"It's all Senior Brother's own fault!"

Hearing Ai Youwei's angry, almost roaring voice, Ye Qingcheng was stunned.

Liu Ruyan was also taken aback.

And then this happened.

Ai Youwei's adoptive parents were killed by Gu Jian?

What's going on?

Seeing the two of them staring blankly, Ai Youwei burst into laughter again, "Hahaha, so in my past life, I was so brave. In my past life, I avenged my parents... Hahaha."

"Good riddance! He killed my parents and then pretended to be nice to me. What a hypocrite! Hahaha..."

Aylward was almost insane.

Instead, Ye Qingcheng slapped her across the face.

Snap!

Ai Youwei's body flew out and landed ten feet away.

Her face swelled up again, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

But this time, she wasn't afraid. She angrily retorted to Ye Qingcheng, "You hit me! You hit me again? My parents were killed by that hypocrite, and instead of punishing him, you hit me?!"

What greeted them was Ye Qingcheng's furious aura.

Seeing that Ye Qingcheng was about to get angry again, Liu Ruyan quickly said, "Master, don't be angry."

"Third Junior Sister, don't get so agitated. Senior Brother shouldn't be that kind of person. This matter seems to have its reasons."

Ai Youwei covered her face, which had been slapped by Ye Qingcheng, and angrily said, "What do you mean by 'reason'? Are you trying to exonerate that murderer? He killed my parents!"

Although they weren't her biological parents, Ai Youwei considered them even better than her own.

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "I'm not trying to clear my senior brother's name. I remember once, my senior brother told me that your adoptive parents didn't seem to treat you as well as they appeared on the surface."

"The eldest brother said that they had been using you all along. He also said that there was something wrong with the way your adoptive father looked at you. Later, he went to investigate this matter."

Ai Youwei was taken aback and said, "What did you say? My adoptive parents are dead, and you still want to slander them? You even slandered my adoptive father?"

Ye Qingcheng looked at Liu Ruyan and asked, "What were the results of the investigation?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "I don't know. I went into seclusion later and forgot about it. My senior brother never mentioned it again. I only found out now that Youwei's adoptive parents are dead."

"If they were really killed by the senior brother..."

Liu Ruyan glanced at Ai Youwei, then at Ye Qingcheng, and after observing their expressions, said, "Then they must have a problem."

Ai Youwei was taken aback, then her expression turned angry. "Liu Ruyan, what's wrong? Are you insulting my adoptive father? They're both dead, and you're still slandering them!"

“They were so good to me, so kind. They even took me in and raised me after my biological parents died. How could there be a problem? I think you're the one with the problem!”
