"Jiang Yuan, let me speak with Ning Yanlan alone for a few minutes!"
In the small house inside the Oath Base, Ning Yanlan was 'accompanying' Jiang Yuan as usual, but an uninvited guest arrived at this time.
“No need to ask. Someone like her who would sell her body would easily betray a friend! Besides, you’re not even her friend!” Jiang Yuan said directly to Leng Yue in front of Ning Yanlan.
Ning Yanlan didn't refute, but just smiled calmly, not minding Jiang Yuan's humiliation at all.
"Give me some time. I want to know why she betrayed me!" Leng Yue looked embarrassed. The scene she experienced within the warlord's camp was a hurdle she could never overcome in her life, and she needed an explanation as well.
"Alright, I'm going out to settle the survivors in Nancheng anyway. Ask me anything!" Jiang Yuan stretched. He had gone to extreme lengths for Ning Yanlan over the past half day, but he didn't feel any guilt because Ning Yanlan deserved it all.
"Jiang Yuan, I'll go with you!" Liu Zhaodi didn't dare leave Jiang Yuan. She could clearly feel that Jiang Yuan's emotions were fluctuating greatly, and she was really worried that something might happen to him because of his irritability and mania.
"Fine, you don't want to see this vicious woman's face anyway!" Jiang Yuan calmly left with Liu Zhaodi in his arms, warning Leng Yue as they walked, "Be careful, this woman will stop at nothing to achieve her goals!"
"Come in and have a seat!"
Leng Yue looked at the girl in front of her with a complicated expression.
"Do you feel angry when you see me?" Ning Yanlan looked up at Leng Yue with a faint smile.
Since she returned with Jiang Yuan, she has remained calm and composed, even though Jiang Yuan has been humiliating her.
"No, it's more pathetic!" Leng Yue shook her head gently and sighed, "I know Jiang Yuan's actions were childish, but he just can't swallow his anger, so don't take it to heart!"
During the half-day that Ning Yanlan returned with Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan bossed her around, kissed her in public, and even made some indecent gestures, completely trampling on her dignity.
"As long as he likes it!" Ning Yanlan said dismissively.
“He never liked you dressed so scantily!” Leng Yue scoffed.
At home, Ning Yanlan wore only a backless light blue mini-dress, as Jiang Yuan had requested.
"Ask whatever you want, I still need to prepare dinner for him!" Ning Yanlan walked barefoot to Leng Yue's side.
Leng Yue took a deep breath, then forced herself to remain calm and said, "I want to know if you orchestrated all those events that happened among the warlords?"
As expected, Ning Yanlan nodded, while Leng Yue slowly clenched her fist. Because of that incident, she had been living in the shadows, and even the only trace of love she had was buried deep in her heart, and she dared not reveal it.
"Ning Yanlan, I really misjudged you!" Leng Yue refrained from attacking, but her anger still manifested in sharp words.
"Think carefully, is it you who was humiliated in your memory?" Ning Yanlan suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Leng Yue's emotions fluctuated when she heard Ning Yanlan bring up the painful past again.
Ning Yanlan continued, "Do you experience a mental breakdown and intermittent amnesia every time you recall those events?"
"What do you want to say?" Leng Yue pursed her lips, forcing herself to calm down.
"Actually, that memory isn't yours, but belongs to another girl in prison who was humiliated and killed. I didn't want to reveal my identity to Jiang Yuan, and I really wanted to kill those scumbags, so I put that dead girl's memory into your mind! Just like I thought, Jiang Yuan did kill those people, and he even ground their bones to ashes!"
"You!" Leng Yue felt a mix of emotions, like a jumbled mess of feelings.
Ning Yanlan continued, "I know you've been haunted by this incident and feel dirty! But you can try asking Jiang Yuan to see if there was any bleeding on your first night. You can prove it to him then and believe that this memory is true!"
After saying that, Ning Yanlan took out the memory fragments that she had replaced, and then turned into ashes. A humiliating past was thus forgotten.
"Ning Yanlan, how could you do this!" Leng Yue covered her head as her memories gradually became clearer. She had only been seriously injured at the time, and everything that followed was just a tampered memory.
"You're quite timid too. I was waiting for you to find out yourself!" Ning Yanlan said half-jokingly.
Leng Yue took a deep breath. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Looking at the Moonfall Bracelet, she knew that Ning Yanlan hadn't lied. Before the mind-reading ability ended, she asked again, "Do you really want Jiang Yuan to die?"
"That's right! He can't even form an Undying Battle Spirit!"
Ning Yanlan answered directly, but Leng Yue frowned. The Fallen Moon Bracelet told her that Ning Yanlan was lying.
"Then you never truly loved Jiang Yuan!" Leng Yue asked again.
"I was just using him!"
"Have you ever thought about escaping this strife with Jiang Yuan and living a secluded world together?" Leng Yue asked whatever came to mind while the mind-reading time was still on.
Upon hearing this, a hint of longing flashed in Ning Yanlan's eyes, but she quickly denied it, saying, "What kind of romantic time would I have with a dead person!"
"Alright, stop asking, I'm going to cook! I don't want him to die with any regrets!"
