"Of course I don't blame you, it's not your fault! If it could bring those three police officers back to life, I would be willing to give up my life, let alone have my spiritual roots taken away!"

Hu Yue calmed herself down. Although she had hurriedly wiped away her tears, there were still traces of redness in the corners of her eyes. Although she still looked somewhat disheveled, the determination in her eyes was undeniable.

As an inspector in the special cases investigation team, she has handled hundreds, if not thousands, of cases over the years, and naturally, she has to cooperate with these ordinary police officers.

"This is actually not the first time I've seen a police officer sacrifice his life in the line of duty."

In our line of work, anything that requires our involvement is usually quite serious. And sometimes, we inevitably need the assistance of police officers.

If I could, I really wish they didn't have to bear those hurts!

However, many times, the development of events is beyond our control!

I have witnessed countless sacrifices and countless partings of life and death! But today's event is particularly heartbreaking and unacceptable to me!

Because it's not worth it.

After a pause, Hu Yue continued, "A Yue's actions this time can be described as meaningless and reckless behavior!"

According to our previous decision, we shouldn't have gone to the Zhao Group building today! She acted on her own, causing such a huge mess. Not only did she gain nothing, but she also alerted the enemy, making things spiral out of control.

Don't worry, given my master's temperament, he will definitely not let this matter pass by so easily!

As for your concern about whether I'll have a hard time in the sect, I've long since stopped worrying about that!

People can't control what others say, can they?! Actually, Yue has always had a lot of opinions about me, and this one incident is nothing compared to the conflicts between us!

As for the speculation that they might bring up in the future, that I deliberately cooperated with you in order to seize the position of the leader of Qingcheng Mountain and asked you to cripple the spiritual root of the promising A-Yue, even without your intervention today, such rumors would have increased in the future.

I stopped caring a long time ago.

Song Mengmeng stared at Hu Yue for a while longer, but didn't say anything more. Instead, she stood quietly with her for a while until Huo Yuankai was brought out of the emergency room and transferred to the special care ward. Only then did Song Mengmeng say goodbye to Hu Yue and go downstairs alone to meet up with Yan Di and Hu Da, who had left earlier and were waiting in the car.

"How's that kid? Is he alright?!"

Upon seeing Song Mengmeng get into the car, Hu Da, who was happily playing a game in the driver's seat, quickly turned around and asked impatiently.

"It's nothing, just excessive blood loss. It'll be fine after some rest." Song Mengmeng took the water that Yan Di handed her, took a small sip, and then answered.

Without waiting for Hu Da to question her, she recounted everything that had just happened to the two of them, and then said, "I just feel resentful. Why should someone else have to pay the price for the trouble she caused?!"

Although her mother, who is the sect leader, keeps saying she will severely punish her, in my opinion, if she had really been severely punished, would she still have made such a foolish and utterly reprehensible mistake?!

Besides, from the first time I saw her, I felt that this woman probably had something wrong with her head!

Now it seems I really wasn't thinking clearly!

Song Mengmeng thought of how Luo Yueling had agreed and believed Lin Xushan when Lin Songzi had just said something casually, and she immediately felt a little sorry for Lin Xushan.

She doesn't seem like a stupid person, so how did she give birth to such a... well...

Could it be that she takes after her father?!

“It’s not impossible!” Hu Da started the car and agreed with Song Mengmeng’s casual opinion. She smiled and chimed in, “I don’t know about other people, but I’m quite familiar with Qingcheng Mountain!”

This Lin Xushan, whose original name was Luo Yingruo, was said to have initially been uninterested in family-inherited magic and only wanted to leave the family and live an ordinary, peaceful life.

Later, it is said that she had a boyfriend when she was in college.

The two were inseparable and had a very good relationship! However, just when Lin Xushan was pregnant and they were about to get married, she discovered that her boyfriend had ulterior motives for getting close to her.

The boyfriend's family had a heretical cultivator who had his eye on the bloodline of the Luo family of Qingcheng Mountain, so he sent that man to trick Lin Xushan into submitting...

Now that this matter has been discovered, the boyfriend's family naturally didn't get a good ending! But Lin Xushan was already four months pregnant, and her physical condition wasn't suitable for abortion, so the child naturally had to be born!

From then on, Luo Yingruo changed her previous attitude towards the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) and began to diligently study magic, eventually becoming the renowned Lin Xushanren (Lin Xushanren) within the Xuanmen.

So bloodlines are sometimes a tricky thing to say!

Luo Yueling's current state is certainly unlike that of her mother, Luo Yingruo. She's fundamentally flawed; that's the kind of person who's best described!

However, now that Luo Yueling's spiritual root has been taken by Song Mengmeng to save Huo Yuankai, even if she is still dissatisfied and angry, given her current status as an ordinary person, she shouldn't be able to cause any trouble!

Therefore, Song Mengmeng and the others stopped paying attention to Luo Yueling and instead started talking about the Gathering Yin Formation.

However, just as Song Mengmeng and the others were discussing important matters, Lin Xushan, the person they had just mentioned, was currently preoccupied with the Yin Gathering Array right in front of him.

She dragged Luo Yueling back to the hotel. Now that Luo Yueling had regained her strength, she was no longer as obedient as before, but instead became hysterical.

She no longer felt any affection for Lin Xushan; only hatred and resentment remained! Perhaps the former Luo Yueling, due to her status, had retained some humility and kindness.

However, now that her spiritual root has been taken away and she is certain that she will always be just an ordinary person, she completely collapses!

Without any pretense, she was like a demon stripped of its mask, revealing her naked malice to her mother for the first time: "Stop your fake concern! What's the use of all this concern now? Where were you all this time?!"

Someone stole your own daughter's spiritual root right in front of you, and what did you do? Not only did you not seek justice for your daughter, but you also helped that person target me. What kind of mother are you?! You don't deserve to be one!"
