"I have no other choice?" Mu Lige sneered, "Then why aren't you afraid that I'll come back and kill you, or even cause the destruction of Zhaoyang Nation?"
Mu Lige's tone grew colder, and the hatred in his eyes grew stronger. For a moment, Hua Qingcheng seemed to see the Wuchen of the past.
"Li Chen, don't blame your mother. If you hadn't been sent to Tianlong Temple back then, you would have had no way out in that environment! Your father and mother did this just to save your life!" Shangguan Yuechan explained while crying.
"Hmph!" Mu Lige glanced meaningfully at the adjacent room, then snorted coldly, "Stop making excuses. Ultimately, you're only doing this for yourselves. Have you ever considered how I've felt over the years? How much hardship have I endured in these nineteen years? Have you ever thought about how I spent those long years alone in Tianlong Temple?"

Mu Lige stared at Shangguan Yuechan silently, his face expressionless. His gaze was cold and ruthless. He said calmly, "So what? All I know is that from that moment on, I became an orphan, having lost all my family."
Shangguan Yuechan's body trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at Wuchen, her eyes filled with sadness and guilt. Her lips trembled, but she could no longer utter a word.
