Su Jin frowned deeply, looking at Shen Qianxue in disbelief. "The Glass Gu Mother only recognizes the Su family bloodline. Do you know what you meant by those words just now?"
Industry? Is this an attempt to exterminate the Su family?
Shen Qianxue tilted her head, her wicked aura running rampant. "Of course I know, but what do the Su clan have to do with me? Don't forget that Phoenix Pavilion and Liuli Society have a long-standing feud. I used to like you and didn't care about these things, but how did you treat me?"
Shen Qianxue licked her lips, looking at Su Jinxia with hatred in her eyes, "You deceived me, you used me! Now, do you still expect me to have any feelings for you?"
Su Jin was truly angry; even her faint heartbeat became strong. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
“You won’t do that. I know exactly what kind of person you are. Don’t say anything more out of anger.”
Shen Qianxue suddenly stood up, looking down at him: "You don't know! You don't know that I also have a dark side, that I also have twisted moments, that my hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Truly kind people can't walk out of a pile of corpses. I can become anything I want!"
Su Jin felt heavy-hearted; the Shen Qianxue in front of her felt like a stranger.
In both his past and present lives, Su Jin had never seen Shen Qianxue like this. Had he gone too far before?
Shen Qianxue walked to the bedside, leaned down slightly, and raised an eyebrow gently. "Scared?"
"Don't be afraid, I was just saying that. I don't necessarily have to do it."
Su Jin's chest heaved as she looked at the small box in her hand. She held it up and said, "You just want to know what this is, right? Fine, I'll tell you, it's a black mushroom."
A hint of doubt appeared in Shen Qianxue's eyes; he had never heard of this thing.
Black mushrooms are very rare and troublesome to use, so many doctors are unaware of them, let alone ordinary people.
Su Jin then explained softly, "There is a poison called bicolor mushroom. One plant produces two mushrooms, one white and one black. It doesn't matter if you only eat the white mushroom or the black mushroom, but if you eat one of them first and then the other, it will produce a deadly poison. Moreover, the longer the interval between taking them, the more potent the poison becomes. If the interval exceeds five years, even just smelling the color of the other mushroom will cause you to die suddenly."
Su Jinxia watched as Shen Qianxue's expression grew increasingly grave. He was so intelligent; he had probably already pieced together the cause and effect.
Su Jin also admitted, "I did snatch this from Zhou Ji. He came back this time to threaten you with the black mushroom so that you would continue to work for him, but you took the white mushroom more than ten years ago."
A fleeting look of shock and hurt crossed Shen Qianxue's eyes.
Even though Shen Qianxue and Zhou Ji broke up, Shen Qianxue only thought that Zhou Ji had changed, but she did not expect that this was a scheme and conspiracy that had lasted for more than ten years.
So what was the point of his life?
Su Jin looked at him with heartache, "I know you're sad, but life is long. There's no need to dwell on the unpleasant past. Since Zhou Ji only used you and had no feelings for you, then never trust him again."
Shen Qianxue straightened up, her eyes becoming even redder.
He values affection above all else, and will undoubtedly be hurt the most by the word "affection".
Su Jinxia spoke lightly, but letting go is not so easy. Why can't he hold a grudge, why can't he hate, why can't he take revenge?
Su Jinxia reached out and finally handed over the small box, saying, "This is for you. Get Lu Ming to take care of it quickly."
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Shen Qianxue reached out and slapped the two-colored mushroom out of Su Jin's hand, sending the small box rolling several times on the ground.
Su Jin was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She quickly got up to check, and thankfully, the small box was securely closed and had not been opened.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me say that even a bad complexion can poison you?" Su Jin was both angry and furious.
"Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Shen Qianxue stared at Su Jinxia, not even glancing at the small box out of the corner of her eye.
Su Jinxia stiffened, a tightness gripping her chest. "You can be fearless of death, but don't die so pathetically, okay?"
"I'm not afraid of dying a pathetic death, I'm only afraid of living a pathetic life!" Shen Qianxue seemed determined to contradict Su Jinxia. He tensed up and leaned closer to Su Jinxia, pressing her for an answer. "Zhou Ji only used me, he had no real feelings for me. And what about you? Did you only use me, and were you also being hypocritical?"
Su Jin down...
Su Jin suddenly realized that she had fallen into a trap, a trap that Shen Qianxue had dug for her.
Shen Qianxue deliberately provoked her, making her panic, and then revealed the truth, exposing her flaws and expressing her feelings for him.
Shen Qianxue most likely guessed that she was so heartless because she was about to die, and that he was testing her in this resolute way.
Su Jin didn't have time to think about it in detail. She quickly lowered her head, leaned back weakly, and said indifferently, "There's no need to ask such questions repeatedly. I've already made it clear to you."
Shen Qianxue nodded with a faint smile, "Yes, you've explained it very clearly, but do you know what you're doing? Why are you trying to steal the black mushroom? What does my life or death have to do with you!"
Su Jin clenched her fists, her eyes filled with panic and helplessness. "I... I went to kill Zhou Ji, and I got it by accident..."
Suddenly, Shen Qianxue grabbed Su Jinxia's arm and lifted her up.
Su Jin knelt on the bed, forced to look Chen Qianxue in the eye.
Shen Qianxue clearly saw the panic and guilt that Su Jinxia couldn't hide in her eyes. "Su Jinxia! Are you happy to be toying with me?"
Looking at Shen Qianxue's increasingly hurt eyes, Su Jinxia panicked completely. She gently shook her head in denial, "No."
Su Jinxia's denial was too weak, and the faint bloodlust in Shen Qianxue's eyes shone into Su Jinxia's eyes.
"Then why do you say such heartless things while doing such things? Don't you know this will make me misunderstand? Do you feel proud and happy to see me staying up day and night for you, being so humble?"
Shen Qianxue's voice was filled with resentment.
This hatred is not just simple hatred, but contains too many emotions.
He hated Su Jin's ruthlessness, yet feared she had her reasons; he hated himself for not being able to let go decisively, yet also hated his own powerlessness.
Su Jin was terrified, her mind going blank from the intense hatred in Shen Qianxue's words.
Was she wrong?
She originally just wanted Shen Qianxue to let go and live her own life, so why did it turn out like this?
Su Jin grabbed Shen Qianxue's hand and shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind. She said urgently, "No, it's not like that. Listen to me."
Su Jin didn't want Shen Qianxue to watch her lover die, nor did she want Shen Qianxue to live with deep hatred.
She tried to explain, to make all the love, hate, and grudges less extreme.
“I learned about Black Mushroom from Yang Jiaoruo and felt very uneasy. I know I owe you, so I want to make it up to you. When I went to kill Zhou Ji, I naturally wanted to find Black Mushroom to relieve you of your worries.”
"You know what? I actually thought about coming to see you. I thought if I got the black mushroom and had a little time left, I would come and see you."
