Shangguan Murou's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from a good cry, and her voice was hoarse.
Mo Shisheng calmly looked away, "Auntie, you're exaggerating. My second sister has been so good to me, how could I possibly kill her?"
"Yan'er! You have disappointed me greatly! The Galo Academy has sent people to find out what happened. Qi'er died at your hands!"
Shangguan Murou looked heartbroken, her body swaying precariously. Her hand, which she raised to point at Mo Shisheng, trembled slightly, as if she were enduring immense torment.
"So Aunt thinks that Second Sister's strength is not enough to beat me?" Mo Shisheng's eyebrows turned slightly cold. The illusion that Ming Beiya had put on her made others think that her strength was still at the second level of Qi Refining.
"But you know perfectly well that Qi'er always gives in to you! From the time we grew up, Qi'er has always had her eye on you whenever she has something good. Yan'er, you're such an ingrate!"
Shangguan Murou ignored everything, her eyes bloodshot. Shangguan Qi was her precious daughter, whom she had carried for ten months. Now her life or death was unknown, but according to the people from Jialuo Academy, the chances of her survival were slim!
"Since Auntie wants to settle accounts, let's be frank and straightforward."
Since Shangguan Murou was determined to settle this score with Mo Shisheng, Mo Shisheng didn't need to keep backing down. She took two steps forward and stood in front of Shangguan Murou.
Taking advantage of his height, he looked down at Shangguan Murou, his eyes fixed on her. "Two years ago, when I was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and about to undergo the tribulation of lightning, my second sister rushed over and stepped on the formation, triggering the lightning array. I wonder if Aunt still remembers this?"
Hearing Mo Shisheng mention what happened two years ago, Shangguan Murou's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously glanced at Shangguan Xuan, only to find that her son wasn't even looking at her, which gave her a bit more confidence.
She withdrew her hand from Mo Shisheng, patting her chest as she did so. Shangguan Murou would never admit that she dared not continue pointing at Mo Shisheng because of Mo Shisheng's intimidation, so she patted her chest to cover up her embarrassment.
"Don't you have any idea how Qi'er has treated you since you were little? Qi'er almost lost her life by accidentally stepping on a landmine, have you forgotten? Yan'er, how can you bring up something from two years ago...?"
"Yes, my second sister almost lost her life in the lightning array, but didn't I use all my cultivation to save her life? For her sake, I lost all my cultivation and my meridians were severed. My aunt and second sister always think of me when there are good things, so why is it that all the misfortunes I've ever had are caused by my second sister?" Mo Shisheng coldly glanced at Shangguan Murou. She originally thought that since they were family, they would see each other all the time, so it was best to give them some face.
However, Shangguan Murou was setting a trap for her with every word, and every syllable she used was a pretext to pin a minor crime on Mo Shisheng.
If Shangguan Qi were truly dead, she might gladly accept the charge. But Shangguan Qi is still alive, and she won't allow herself to become the target of public criticism since she hasn't avenged the original owner, Shangguan Yan!
Shangguan Murou had never known that Mo Shisheng could be so eloquent. She was speechless, completely shut down by Mo Shisheng. She opened her mouth, "You..."
"If Aunt thinks that bringing up something from two years ago makes me seem petty, then let me remind you: do you remember what happened three months ago outside the capital?"
Mo Shisheng's voice was cool and clear, and her whole body exuded a natural languor.
