Bei Lingsu never expected that the question Bei Yun wanted to ask her was this. She froze for a moment.
Seeing her freeze, Bei Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. "Aunt Lingsu, you know about Madam Gu's matter, don't you?"
As soon as those words were spoken, the stunned look on Bei Lingsu's face vanished. She glared at Bei Yun. "Of course I do!"
"So the Soul Chasing Root inside Tong Sanlang was also expelled because he consumed the Divine Liquid?" Bei Yun asked again.
"That's right!"
"Then why, at the time, did you appear so angry, so disappointed, so worried?"
"I was worried Tong Gongzi was putting on an act. The anger and disappointment were real—directed at you. You always manage to push the boundaries of what I can tolerate," Bei Lingsu gritted her teeth.
Recalling the situation back then, she still couldn't suppress her frustration.
A year's careful teaching wasted on a dog!
"Since I repeatedly crossed your boundaries, why did you still choose to trust me?" Bei Yun asked.
