From the moment Bai Ying took out the Qiankun Mirror, Zhou Ying's face turned extremely ugly.
Back when she was at the Bai family, Bai Ying loved using the Qiankun Mirror to record everything.
At that time, she felt that Bai Ying was always petty and meticulous, and that she would record even the smallest things with the Qiankun Mirror.
However, at that time, Bai Ying always targeted Bai Di. Although she wasn't particularly close to them, she still regarded them as her father and mother.
Bai Ying tried to hurt Bai Di several times, but Bai Di only stopped when Bai Di threatened to kill herself.
She still thought she was different to Bai Ying...
To Bai Ying, she was still her mother after all, but she never expected that she would use the Qiankun Mirror on herself.
Zhou Ying's face instantly turned deathly pale. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The scene in the Mirror of Heaven and Earth was so clear it was as if one were actually there...
Zhou Ying's face was filled with longing, and her words were full of deep affection as she spoke of her yearning for Bai Ying. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she were truly heartbroken by her daughter's longing.
Just as everyone was immersed in this seemingly warm atmosphere, her hand quietly grabbed her sleeve, the movement extremely secretive, like a ghost hiding in the depths of darkness, waiting for its chance to strike.
Then, with incredible speed, she gently affixed the talisman to Bai Ying's body! After affixing the talisman, she feigned compassion, her eyes filled with tears, and gently stroked Bai Ying's face. Anyone who didn't know the truth would surely be deeply deceived by her false compassion.
Although the talisman was invisible and could not be detected by the naked eye, everyone present was a cultivator. Just by looking at Zhou Ying's seemingly unintentional but mysterious movements, everyone already understood what she was doing.
For a moment, everyone present was filled with disbelief. Their mouths were slightly open, as if they wanted to say something, but they were so shocked by the sudden truth that their throats seemed to be blocked, and they could not make a sound.
Recalling the scene where Zhou Ying walked up to Bai Ying with a concerned expression and expressed her longing when she discovered that Bai Ying was not dead, everyone present witnessed it.
At that time, everyone was deceived by her affectionate appearance and marveled at Zhou Ying's care and love for the child. Who could have imagined that the seemingly tender moment was actually the time for her to secretly take action and stick the talisman on Bai Ying's body.
The cruelty of the truth left everyone with mixed feelings.
They really couldn't understand why someone could be so biased.
"So that's how it is! I was wondering why it was so strange. How could Bai Ying put a talisman on herself to lower her cultivation level? It was actually her own mother who put it on!"
"I've seen favoritism before, but I've never seen such favoritism! Bai Ying is her own daughter! How could she do this?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think Bai Ying was her enemy. Even an enemy wouldn't do something like this, right? She's trying to ruin Bai Ying by doing this!"
"What's most disgusting is that she just kept apologizing on behalf of Bai Ying. Doesn't she know how the talisman got onto Bai Ying?"
Those present were speechless with astonishment at the scene before them, and whispers of discussion rose and fell among them.
As Bai Ying listened to their words, a deep sense of irony welled up in her heart. She slowly turned her head and looked directly at her mother.
Even those who were complete strangers to her at the scene spoke up for her, and could see at a glance that Zhou Ying's actions were ruining her.
How could Zhou Ying, her biological mother, not know this?
Bai Ying stared intently at Zhou Ying, a bitter feeling welling up inside her.
"It's fine if you don't love me, but why did you ruin me? Don't you know what will happen to me if you do this? Cheating in this kind of situation will be severely punished!"
From then on, my reputation was ruined. Whenever anyone mentioned me, they would know I was the one who cheated. How am I supposed to face that?
Zhou Ying slowly closed her eyes, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. She hadn't expected her actions to be publicized, and she felt utterly embarrassed.
"I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean to. Mother loves you too."
Her voice was weak and trembling, carrying a hint of helplessness and pain.
When she saw that Bai Ying was still alive, her happiness was genuine.
However, she had no other choice.
It was Bai Ying who insisted on running out at this moment and blocking Bai Di's path.
She had no idea how much Bai Di had prepared for this competition, or how long he had been looking forward to it.
How could she let Bai Di's expectations be dashed?
She just wanted Bai Di to get first place.
She didn't think that much about it...
Moreover, even if it's a punishment, Bai Ying is more powerful than Bai Di, so these punishments are nothing to her.
Why is she so concerned?
Xiao Di is younger than her, so she should give way to Xiao Di.
Such self-deceiving thoughts swirled in Zhou Ying's mind, but when she actually tried to say it to Bai Ying, she felt as if her throat was blocked, making it extremely difficult. The words could only be stammered out: "Xiao Ying, Mother... Mother really didn't mean it... Actually, Mother really loves you too."
Bai Ying never expected that even now, she could still say that she loved her.
Bai Ying stared intently at Zhou Ying with red eyes, finding her words utterly ridiculous.
She loved her, yet she was willing to ruin her for Bai Di's sake.
She would do anything to benefit Bai Di.
Is this what she calls love?
This love was so stingy, so rare, that it made her heart feel like it had fallen into an ice cave, chilling her to the bone.
Bai Ying concealed her distress and said coldly to her mother, "Forget it. Who cares about your love? Stop pretending."
Zhou Ying was struck dumb, never expecting Bai Ying to say such resolute words.
In an instant, her face turned deathly pale, and her body swayed as if struck by an invisible force, almost causing her to lose her balance.
Bai Ying, though unaware of the full story, was enraged to see Bai Ying so defiant of her mother. She shouted, "Bai Ying, how dare you speak to your mother like that! You unfilial daughter, you've gone too far! You actually used the Qiankun Ring on your mother! You're treating her like an enemy! Do you even know she gave birth to you?! You rebellious beast, how could you do such a thing?"
White Eagle is used to using his father's status to intimidate others.
Previously, when they were at the Bai family's house, he would scold Bai Ying without considering the consequences. Now, Bai Ying's behavior seemed even more disrespectful to him.
No matter how Zhou Ying treated her, she couldn't treat Zhou Ying like this!
However, to Bai Ying's surprise, this was not the Bai family home, and no one would indulge him like this!
